Abstract
This paper discusses how two books, "Red Azaliea: Life and Love in China" by Anchee Min and "Lost Names: Scenes from a Korean boyhood" by Richard Kim, portray societies in which ordinary life is subject to extraordinary political repression. How do authorities in each case try to assert control? How do the protagonists come to an outlook different from the official line? Both of the central characters in these autobiographies suffer at the hands of oppressors, and both survive to live better lives. The authorities use power, control, and repression to hang on to their political authority, but all they do is create hatred and animosity in the people, and ultimately, their control comes crashing down around them.
From the Paper
"Both of these autobiographical tales show the great cruelties and evils that can be inflicted on a society by an aggressor or a despot who employ extraordinary political repression. In "Lost Names," Kim's memories of occupied Koreas show how the Japanese attempted to infiltrate every facet of Korean life. The Japanese begin programming the young Koreans early by hanging the Japanese flag and propagandist slogans in their school classrooms (Kim 31). Throughout the book, the Japanese break the Koreans; spirit by stealing what is theirs by their hard work, and leaving them with next to nothing. For example, the Japanese take the prevalent and favored rice from the Koreans and send it home to Japan, leaving the Koreans feeling nothing but hunger and bitterness. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the view that political philosophy is useless. The author contents that political repression throughout history notwithstanding, political philosophy has nevertheless led to an advance in society as far as the ideas of individual freedom and human rights are concerned. The author analyzes Plato's, Aristotle's, Machiavelli's, Marx's, and Kant and Hegel's theories of political philosophy in order to support his opinion
From the Paper
"Since political philosophy concerns itself with the organization of society for self-governance, it inevitably deals with how power should be wielded, how justice should be done between one man and another, and how laws that govern the lives of men in society should be made. As power also entails responsibility, the political philosophers have been concerned with the nature political obligation and authority and the goals of political action.
This certainly leads to the question of the nature and limits of authority of the state. Plato was the first to consider these points systematically in his Republic, and from there Aristotle took up the question and wrote the books ?Politics? that delineated his views on the question. In this he declared man to be a ?political animal? who must organize community life in a way that should make civilized life and conduct possible. For Aristotle, city was the proper framework for the realization of man?s potential. Subsequent thinkers have considered the question in accordance with the state of society and what ideas prevailed in other realms at the time. In the middle ages, the main question was the division of authority between the state and religion [the church], while in the Renaissance; the Italian Niccollo Machiavelli gave his own ideas of how a ruler ought to behave [exercise power]."

"Repressed Memory
Introduction
The problem with the scientific exploration of repressed memory is, as Elizabeth Loftus and others have noted, is that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to prove that it either exists or does not exist. The intent in the following pages is to explore the history of the concept of repressed memory, examining both proposed definitions or mechanisms for it, and critiques of the conceptualization.
The Early History of Repressed Memory
There is a clear difference between memories that have simply been forgotten, or are inaccessible to us, and repressed ..."

From the Paper
"The ideas of Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud had such influence on the Twentieth Century that it is hard to find any other figure to compare them with. Both were born Jews, became atheists, and criticized their societies as few before or since have done. Each was endowed with a brilliant mind, and followed the logic of their thinking to conclusions that brought them widespread derision and opposition, as well as zealousadherents. The political world has never been the same since Marx. And it?s fair to say we human beings will never see the immense and unexplored jungle in our own psyches the same way after Freud.
Many people are awed by the work of great intellectuals, thinking their thought will be beyond comprehension. But the..."

Freud?s Theory of Repression, 2004.
An analysis of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud's theory of subconscious repression, and the response of other psychologists to this theory.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Sigmund Freud is commonly attributed with creating the theory of the conscious and subconscious, with the concept of the many sexual complexes and drives that run our lives and our subconscious, and with the idea that things, which are not socially acceptable, will be hidden away within the subconscious. This paper provides an overview of this process of burying the unacceptable aspects of life away into the subconscious regression. It is generally believed, though there appear to be exceptions to this belief, that Freud considered all repression to be a subconscious act, a sort of ?defense mechanism? against the uncomfortable or painful facts of life. The paper also examines the response of four psychologists to Freud's theory of repression, namely those of Carl Jung, Alfred Adler, B.F. Skinner, and Michael Billig.
From the Paper
"Recently, the idea of ?repressed memories? of a sexual nature has led to what some people consider a witch-hunt, and others a true renaissance: the rise of psychologists aiding patients, and women in particular, to recover memories of sexual abuse which are at the root of their problems. Some debate exists as to whether this is what Freud had in mind when he spoke of repression -- some suggest that he turned away from the reality of incest in order to pursue his ideas of repressed fantasies materializing as memories, others suggest that his very idea of repression validates the recovered memories."

Repression and the Self, 2006.
A comparative analysis of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytical theory and his interpretation of dreams.

Abstract
This paper presents a comparative analysis between Freud's psychoanalytical theory and the generalizations and findings he presented in "The Interpretation of Dreams." The analysis includes a comparison of the similarities and differences between the two discourses made by Freud and specifically, how his analysis of dreams led to the formation of psychoanalysis. Thus, this paper posits how "The Interpretation of Dreams" had become the bastion of psychoanalytical theory's success, wherein the latter's findings led to the development of a more solid foundation of Freud's general theory on the unconscious mental processes occurring within the individual.
From the Paper
"The psychoanalysis theory also distinguished between extant dichotomies in the individual. The theory identified the existence of the conscious and the unconscious selves, wherein the latter is identified as the true Self and the former, the "impersonal one." This distinction was also extant in "Interpretation." In establishing what dreams meant when applied in the context of the life and history of the individual, Freud centered his discussion on the dichotomy between the explicit and implicit meaning of dreams-that is, the material and unconscious forms that dreams take in the minds of people.

Repression of Women in Islam, 2002.
A paper which examines how women's rights are being supressed in Muslim countries throughout the world.

Abstract
Study and investigation on the role and treatment of women in Islam nations show that Muslim societies and nations generally disregard the inalienable rights of women, as set out by the United Nations on Women's Rights. This stance is developed and proved in the paper, by discussing what these ?inalienable? rights of women are and what steps feminist movements have taken for the preservation of the good welfare of women in these kind of societies.
From the Paper
"Another article from the said issue of TIME Magazine is an article titled ?The Women of Islam? by Lisa Beyer. This article offers a summarized view and report on the treatment of women in various Islamic nations. Iran is said to be ?progressing? towards a greater consideration of the society towards its women by gradually removing the practice of segregation between men and women in public places; Malaysia now allows women to obtain and secure professions that are previously held exclusively by men, such as public (political) and corporate positions, although women are still required to wear head coverings; Egypt is allowing women to be granted divorce on her own initiative, although there are still restrictions, such as not being able to ?leave the country without her husband?s permission?; Saudi Arabia remains oppressive and discriminatory with its laws against women such as the prohibition for women to ?drive cars or fly anywhere without permission,? segregation in sex for job opportunities, and covering one?s self completely in public; Pakistan also violates women rights by giving them an unfair hearing and trial during rape cases, wherein men are always favored against that of women; and lastly, Turkey is considered the most liberal Muslim nation today because of the equal opportunities it provides for women and men, such as the equal opportunity to acquire education, jobs, and other privileges of the country?s citizens (Beyer 200140-7)."

Gender, Desire, and Repression in ?Goblin Market?, 2001.
An analysis of the poem by Christina Rossetti called ?Goblin Market?.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper performs a close reading of Christina Rossetti's poem, "Goblin Market," arguing that the the two central characters of the poem, sisters Lizzie and Laura, represent the dichotomy of Victorian female sexuality. Ultimately, the poem is deeply ambivalent about the demands of society upon expressions of gender and sexuality.
From the Paper
"Christina Rossetti?s ?Goblin Market? is ostensibly a poem about two sisters who are nightly tempted to buy fruits from the goblin-merchants; it is on one level a simple moralistic tale about the near-deadly consequences of yielding to temptation and the virtues of resisting it, and, in the end, about the importance of loving one?s sister. Yet reading the poem it is impossible not to be struck not only by the obvious and jolting sexual imagery but by the overwhelming sense of sensuality merged with horror that pervades the entire work. Laura and Lizzie come to be not just two sisters with different reactions to the ?Come buy? cries of the goblins, but representatives of the two prevailing models of Victorian femininity. Lizzie is the ?proper? feminine ideal: modest, domestic, and possessing enormous amounts of self-restraint. Laura is the illicit woman: lustful, rebellious, and wantonly unrestrained. But though Rossetti does ultimately advocate Lizzie?s model, she does not condemn Laura so much as sympathize with her, and her dichotomy is not as clear-cut as it might appear at first. Rossetti probes deeply into the nature of desire in a repressive Victorian context, in a society where female desire is both hidden and exploited. It is a system which forces conformity and sublimation of desire in order to ensure survival and enable some kind of contentment; by the end of the poem Laura has essentially become Lizzie. However, in examining this repression of desire and the constructed sexuality and gender roles that necessitate it, the poem questions these institutions and concludes that they are ultimately destructive for all involved."

"Prior to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War in Massachusetts, General Thomas Gage - the British military Governor of the state - ordered that all private arms in Boston be deposited with the British magistrates, presumably to be stored and eventually returned to the owners. Many American citizens obeyed the order. They surrendered 1,778 muskets, 634 pistols, 973 bayonets, and 38 blunderbusses on the eve before British troops initiated their siege on the United States at the battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill (Halbrook, 1986, p. 151). Several years later, the event so impressed the framers of the new American Constitution that the "right to bear arms" was codified for all times in the Second Amendment.
However, the issue of gun control has reemerged in recent decades. Court interpretations of the Second Amendment have (...)"

From the Paper
"Organization. In virtually every type of organization, responsibility and accountability are inextricably related. According to Loren E. Newland (1997), "This concept is no less true in the lodging industry. For example, the food and beverage manager is responsible for ensuring that quality meals are served to guests. If guests are satisfied, the food and beverage manager receives the credit. If the guests express dissatisfaction with their dining experience, the same manager is subject to criticism" (45)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of management control to the running of any business and examines how the process of control has changed with the introduction of the internet. Factors affecting effectiveness of management control, elements of the control system, key management control activities and the Internet's effect on management control systems are detailed.
From the Paper
"Doing business is simply mathematics by other means ? all a question of keeping equations in balance on both sides. Labor must be balanced with capital. Resources with allocation. Customers with services or goods. Workers with rewards. The only way that such balances can be instituted and maintained is through a system of management control. At the heart of any well-run business operation is a sound theory of control and overall operating strategy. This paper looks at the importance of management control to the running of any business and examines how the process of control has changed with the introduction of the internet."

Control Issues in Anorexia Patients, 2001.

Abstract
This paper consists of the various ways that individuals with anorexia use forms of control to maintain their disease. Specific control issues discussed are control over previous sexual abuse, control over social ideals of thinness, control over narcissism, and control over food. The author briefly describes the disorder itself, then spends most of the paper discussing various types of control.
From the Paper
"Research has been done on the ways control is shown through the expression of anorexia. Studies have shown that many anorexic individuals try to exert control over their bodies through deprivation of food because they have very little control over any other aspect of their lives. The aspects of control can vary from individual to individual. Therefore one anorexic individual may have one or many aspects of control in his or her life that is related to the disorder. Finally, in addition to the various aspects of control, an anorexic individual may have obsessive-compulsive characteristics that accompany the disorder. Obsessive-compulsive disorder and its characteristics are more commonly found in individuals displaying the behaviors of anorexia than individuals with bulimia (Hall et al., 1992; Wonderlich, Swift, Slotnick, & Goodman, 1990; Rogers, & Petrie, 2001, p. 181). Another disorder that can coexist quite often with anorexia is depression."

Introduction
Management and Control
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Policies and rules set out the expected behaviour from each individual and broadcasts where the company stands on a number of various issues. Some of these policies or rules may follow legislation or other requirements and may point out the company's values."
"Recruitment and training enables organizations to regulate the skills, abilities, values and motives of employees. This type of control attempts to align the goals of individual employees with those of the company and is used when outcomes or procedures are not easy to measure. This control gives organizations a chance to hire and keep good employees whilst training current employees in various areas to increase their potential."
