Summary
From the Paper
"A study was also done on "Mary", a 4 year old who developed oppositional defiant disorder in the setting of her military father's deployment to Bosnia (Daly, 2002). Mary's initial presentation was that of frequent temper tantrums and the tendency to hold her bowel movements, often resulting in soiling. The child demonstrated controlling and defiant behavior, escalating frequently into temper tantrums and frequent arguments with her mother. It is of note that the child demonstrated little difficulty at school and got along well with her six year old sister. Mary would frequently direct her mother on what to eat, and what clothes to wear, and demand that her mother get off the telephone, throwing a temper tantrum if her needs we not met. It is of note that the child, although noted to be very verbal in school reports and play, was unlikely to express her feelings surrounding her father's absence, and frequently would deny feelings of sadness even when her activity in play therapy would indicate the opposite was true."

From the Paper
"Abstract
Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is examined in terms of definition, etiology, problems associated with diagnosis and study, and treatment. Oppositional defiant disorder is a disorder that involves symptoms which, when they occur at a certain developmental stage, are considered normal, but when they persist or occur at a later stage of development, they are signs of the disorder. There are a number of problems raised with reference to the study of ODD, notably the question of its specific relationship to a more severe disorder, conduct disorder. There is evidence that the two are linked developmentally so that ODD may lead to conduct disorder, but there is also evidence that they may be two distinct issues."

Abstract
In Bronte?s "Jane Eyre", the characters Rochester and St. John Rivers represent the nature of oppositional conflict, as they affect its protagonist and narrator. Looking further at these characters, this paper reveals that we must look at Bronte?s perspective through theories of narrative growth and character progression that temper her observations of secondary characters such as Rochester and St. John Rivers. The paper shows that Rochester represents an inquisitive side of Jane?s imagination in the earlier part of the novel ,and his passionate nature reveals the story?s secret after Jane is delivered, as it were, by St. John Rivers, who feeds and clothes her after she flees Thornfield House. Rochester and St. John Rivers work as sort of oppositional poles to the narrator in a confusing experience that involves preconceptions and mysteries about both men that she alternately seeks to
understand imaginatively and logically.
From the Paper
"A common theme to be found in Jane Eyre is that of fire. This represents an uncontrollable and powerful force that is capable of providing both warmth and destruction. Jane describes Rochester in terms of fire after she is won over by his friendly and frank manner: ?gratitude? made his face the object I best liked to see; his
presence in a room was more cheering than the brightest fire? (Bronte, p. 166). Fire is used to represent both destructive, scandalous passion and comfort in the novel. As a positive and self-determined female, Jane is able to differentiate from among many different kinds of metaphorical fire, seeking comfort without being burned. Others are
not so lucky: ?master had been reading in his bed last night; he fell asleep with his candle lit, and the curtains got of fire? (Bronte, p. 176)."

»

Abstract
What has become known as Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) once was included with a range of other, similar behaviors in the classification of sociopath and delinquency. However, as psychology has been able to define and categorize increasingly specific forms of behavior, ODD has begun to receive some very individualized attention. Over the past two decades, the research into this behavioral disorder, which becomes very apparent within the school system, has increased. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss the diagnosis, treatment, and outlook for this problematic disorder.

NBA Players' Dress Code, 2006.
An essay on the new NBA dress regulations arguing that professional basketball players must be dressed appropriately in public.
1,191 words (approx. 4.8 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 40.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how very few professionals have the right to express themselves while they are on the job, that even actors and actresses sport the 'uniform' of their trade. The writer argues that basketball is a highly competitive team sport, and is, moreover, uniquely American and so for players to, almost universally, adopt an image that conveys the lowest common denominator of American life, the ghetto, which supposedly honors its unfortunate racial history, is therefore ridiculous. The writer further argues that the NBA players are highly paid professionals, charged de facto with presenting an image that the world will find attractive and uplifting and so asking the players to present a clean-cut image, particularly in these troubling times, seems little enough to ask of people getting paid multiple millions because they are exceedingly tall and can play a child's game.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Not everyone is as much in favor of the rule as the Chicago student. Terry Boyd, a "hip-hop professor' at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, accuses the NBA of wanting to have it both ways. They want, he says, to hire players who come from a hip-hop environment, but then they want to demonstrate, by choosing attire that might be worn by Commissioner David Stern and not street-wise players, that Stern, and not the players, is in charge of the league (Cholo, 2005). The brother of the student in favor of the code opposes it, contending that it is insulting to hip-hop; more cogently, he points out that the "NBA makes money off hip-hop" (Cholo, 2005). Indeed, rappers Nelly and Jay Z "are part owners of basketball teams" (Cholo, 2005)."

Gay Dressing, 2004.
Examines the gay subculture of cross-dressing and drag queens.

Abstract
Like all people, gay men express themselves by how they dress, and those members of the gay community who 'cross-dress' or dress 'in drag' are no exception. This paper examines how society viewed gay men in earlier days, beginning with the Berdeche of Pre-Columbian Native America, and continuing until the present day. It examines, in particular, cross-dressers and drag queens whose very act of dressing 'differently' is a symbol of pride in their unique sexuality.
From the Paper
"Charles? style of cross-dressing is as ?typical? of today?s queens as is his devotion to the community and to his and other gay men?s hard-won rights. The queen is not merely a simple copy of a heterosexual woman; rather she is a character that is at once uniquely gay in the fashions and attitudes she represents, and in the causes she espouses. Increasingly, even heterosexuals have come to see the deeper meanings behind what were once taboo images. Authors, artists, filmmakers, and those paragons of popular culture ? advertisers ? reach out to gay men in ways they never have before."

From the Paper
"The Nazis did not come to power in Germany without opposition, and they did not develop their war machine in an atmosphere completely without resistance. There was resistance to the Nazis within German society from a number of people and groups in society, and this resistance was dealt with harshly as the Nazis tried to consolidate their own power and bring everyone into conformity with their program of belligerence toward Germany's neighbors.
During the early days of the rise of the National Socialists to power, there were three characteristics of the regime: 1) a commitment to national tradition to make Germans identify with the state and its power; 2) the joining of tradition with the promise of a new order, of an historic breakthrough, and of a national revival and renewal; and 3) terror directed at enemies and at the (...)"

Abstract
There was much opposition to the U.S. bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. This paper examines some of the political opposition, firstly and initially by Truman. It then looks at the opposition of three scientists - Leo Szilard, Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer. The many military generals and politicians' oppositions are also listed.
From the Paper
"Contrary to the images displayed by World War II propaganda, the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were widely criticized, not only by 1960?s radicals, but also by many influential figures of the conservative establishment, scientists, and those in the highest ranks of the military. These people, in addition to countless citizens and political officials, considered the use of the atomic bomb to have been militarily unnecessary and morally repugnant based on the information available to them in the summer of 1945."

Cross-Dressing, 2004.

Abstract
A discussion of the human sexuality of cross-dressing as it relates to psychology. The paper investigates the findings published in several books and journals concerning cross-dressing. The research also focuses on the treatments that are available for individuals that cross-dress and their families. The paper begins by defining cross-dressing and the psychological factors that can lead to the behavior.
From the Paper
"Defining Cross Dressing can be a rather arduous task because it is a complex subject. One of the main topics that come to mind when addressing the subject is gender identity. (Bullough) A book entitled, Cross Dressing, Sex and Gender, explains that gender identity ?is the total perception of the individual about his or her own gender. It includes a basic personal identity as a boy or girl, man or woman, as well as personal judgments about the individual's level of conformity to the societal norms of masculinity and femininity.? (Bullough). The author goes on to explain that gender roles or the way that men and women are seen in society, can also contribute to cross dressing behavior."

School Dress Code Restricting Gang Attire, 2002.
This paper presents a strong case to argue the benefits of a dress code for a school district.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper gives the background of the controversy surrounding dress codes in schools, from students who claim the restrictiveness to sources that cite the declining level of violence where dress codes are enforced. The paper specifically argues the case in order to decrease the occurrence of gang-related attire. The paper includes a detailed example of a dress code and recommendations to school districts for implementation.
From the Paper
"The dress code provides a balance between an individual?s First Amendment right to free expression and the school?s responsibility to provide a safe and secure educational environment. Schools have a responsibility to customize their individual dress codes to address the needs and standards of their communities through use of a process that ensures input from students, parents, faculty and staff, as well as other interested community members. On the other hand, students and their parents or guardians have a responsibility to be aware of the school dress code and to conform to its requirements. Finally, the principal of each school has a responsibility to interpret and enforce the policy stated herein."

Cross-Dressing in Shakespeare's Plays, 2004.
An examination of how the issue of cross-dressing is addressed in two of Shakespeare's plays, "Twelfth Night" and "As You Like It".

Abstract
This paper examines how cross-dressing is an important element that renders serious repercussions in Shakespeare?s plays. Two plays that emphasize cross-dressing and its repercussions are "Twelfth Night" and "As You Like It". The writer points out that, while the characters of Viola and Rosalind have very different reasons to explain their cross-dressing, each circumstance, while causing complications, also works in their behalf. It explains how their ability to fool those around them generates interest and adds an element of complexity to each play, namely, that each woman is able to accomplish something she would not have been able to do as a woman. Rosalind teaches Orlando the ways of love, and Viola makes her way into Orsino?s house and heart.
From the Paper
"In As You Like It, Rosalind is forced to assume to role of a man as a result of fleeing the Duke?s Court and seeking refuge in the forest of Arden. Her logic stems from the fact that ?beauty provoketh thieves sooner than gold? (I.iii.107). She also believes that because she is ?more common than tall? (I.iii.113), she could easily pass for a man. Rosalind also realizes that she must do more than dress for the occasion--she must also act the past. She declares that she will leave her fear in her heart and ?have a swashing and a martial outside,/As many other mannish cowards have? (I.iii.117-8). Rosalind is forced to dress as a man but she also assumes the role with confidence and excitement."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the western movie genre. The paper specifically examines John Belton's theories in relation to how nature and the main character are engaged in mythological opposition using the 1953 movie "Shane." The paper describes the movie and discusses how the various scenes add to the theme of mythical opposition.
From the Paper
"Every good western movie has a final showdown. The final showdown symbolizes the final battle between the two opposing forces of the movie. In this case the Ryker gang symbolizes chaos and stands in the way of the march of civilization. The Ryker gang is as untamed as the forces of nature. In the final showdown of Shane the Ryker gang and the homesteaders Knight in shining armor come face to face. The scene takes place in a saloon and Shane is at first outnumbered. He stands very little chance of success, yet it feels compelled to continue because he feels that he must win this one for the homesteaders. The Ryker gang cannot prevail and continue with their reign of terror. Shame faces an enemy of mythological proportions and yet somehow manages to overcome them in the final scene."

Abstract
This paper examines early international opposition to apartheid and its discussion by the U.N. including it's failure as a result of disagreements.
It looks at the attempts to impose sanctions against South Africa and the reluctance of Western states to antagonise South Africa due to trade and fears over communism. It discusses the relatively effective action of businesses and individuals through disinvestment as well as the attitudes of American Presidents and their effects on international opposition. The paper also touches on attempts by African states to oppose apartheid in South Africa and the use of sport (such as exclusion from sporting events) to isolate South Africa from the rest of the international community.
From the Paper
"The United Nations was one of the first international bodies to take action against the South African government; Reddy claims that as early as 1946, the question of South Africa's racial policy was being raised in the UN. It is claimed changes in the rest of the world resulted in increased pressure on the South African regime from the UN. As a growing number of former colonies gained independence, they used the UN to highlight the issue of South Africa's racial policy. For example, in 1952, 14 African and Arabic states placed South Africa on the agenda of the UN General Assembly, claiming that the policy 'had created a dangerous and explosive situation that held a danger to international peace and represented a blatant breach of the basic principals of human rights and freedoms' .
