Abstract
This paper examines the impact of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 upon American businesses and their human resources departments. While acknowledging that there is evidence of increased litigation, some of which has resulted in seemingly exorbitant penalties for businesses, and while acknowledging that there is evidence the act has not resulted in an appreciable increase of minority and female representation in some areas presumably because of an unwillingness on the part of employers to hire high risk candidates, the paper asserts that the Act has forced human resources departments to adopt a more collegial and cooperative approach.
From the Paper
"It remains an interesting topic for debate: has the 1991 Civil Rights Act achieved its intended goal of furthering the "integration" of the American workplace or has it had the opposite impact of making it more costly and therefore more unpalatable for employers to hire "protected status" workers? With the aforementioned in mind, this paper will argue that, while the 1991 Act has not been without shortcomings, it has nonetheless done many positive things for American business (specifically as it pertains to creation of a more diverse and equable workplace) and that the benefits of the 1991 Act still outweigh the costs."

"Sociological and Psychological Impact of Pornography on Children
Introduction
Research regarding effects of pornography on children includes a legal, sociological, and psychological focus. Legal analysis of the effects of pornography tends to focus on issues of First Amendment protection versus social threat and needs for protection. Social science focuses more on the material and whether it is harmful or not. Psychologists state that pornography is harmful to children, however empirical studies are lacking (Judges, 1995).
A current focus is on the Internet medium. While actual studies regarding pornographic effects are not available, conclusions regarding negative effects on children prevail and..."

Abstract
This paper examines how the Civil War still has a lingering effect on today's American society. The paper explains that this terrible conflict has impacted American politics, culture, economics and social values in many ways, but the political effects of the Union victory over the rebelling Confederacy have been perhaps the most important, for had the South won the Civil War, the existence of two rival countries at the center of the North American continent would have greatly altered future political, economic, cultural, and social developments. The paper looks at how, because of the Civil War, the federal government and federal bureaucracy became much more powerful, and the American president's war powers were significantly expanded. The paper then points out that progress against racial prejudice and discrimination began to be made, but nearly a century passed before racial segregation was ended and racial equality was accepted by most of the American people. The paper also discusses how the Civil War led to loyalty to America instead of loyalty to one's state, great industrial expansion, the creation of a national media, growing world trade, the development of active and powerful labor unions, and the establishment of an economic foundation that made the United States a global economic superpower within a hundred years. In conclusion, the paper shows that in terms of cultural changes, the Civil War led to a growing cultural sophistication across the United States in the form of increased public interest in literature, poetry, the theater, and art.
From the Paper
"Fite (1983) notes that in terms of domestic politics, the expansion of federal authority required to win the Civil War created a huge and powerful central government in Washington D.C. and established a lasting precedent of centralized federal government power. Before the war broke out in 1861, the federal government was relatively weak, and the states retained significant political power. But during the war years, the Lincoln administration and the United States Congress were compelled to expand their powers in order to save the Union, and these powers resulted in an enlarged federal bureaucracy which, once established, was reluctant to give up the broad range of powers it had acquired during the war."

Abstract
This paper discusses two different issues within one context, the Internet: the regulation of harmful content such as pornography and regulation of illegal content such as child pornography. The paper also examines the current initiatives to regulate the availability of illegal and harmful content on the Internet. The paper then proposes a multi-layered' solution for the regulation of pornographic content on the Internet. "
From the Paper
"Pornography has been the most controversial topic arising from the use of the Internet in recent years. Its availability on the Internet has caused fear and a 'moral panic' among the government, law enforcement bodies such as the police, prosecutors and judges together with the media in general. There is no settled definition of pornography in a multi-national environment such as the Internet and cultural, moral and legal variations all around the world make it difficult to define 'pornographic content' in a global society."

Habeas Corpus - Civil Liberty or Civil Right, 2008.

Abstract
This paper explores the origins and history of habeas corpus, from its roots that predate the Magna Carta through to the present day, where it is being employed to the benefit of hundreds that wrongly languish in prison. The paper also explains the distinction between civil right and civil liberty and discusses which applies to habeas corpus. Lastly, the paper looks at the historic ups and downs of habeas corpus and discusses its unique place in the Constitution, separate from provisions contained in the Bill of Rights.
From the Paper
"Rights and liberties need to be at their strongest when public support is at its weakest. Civil rights are decreed by law, civil liberties are God given, and the actions of legislatures are inevitably governed by the politics of the time. Habeas corpus is a civil liberty included among the "self evident truths" of the Declaration of Independence, and alone one of the civil liberties that can be suspended by acts of the government during times of crisis. The president judged by history as one of the best, sought to suspend these liberties in time of extreme crisis in the nation's young history. It was circumvented to increase support during a world war, to intern "dangerous" citizens during another, and to grant due process rights to perpetrators of the war for the new millennium. It is now freeing hundred of wrongly convicted people of a crime. The future of habeas corpus is uncertain in the short term, but solid in the future as all inalienable rights bestowed upon the common man by his creator."

Abstract
This paper looks briefly at several ancient religions and the impacts they have had on the societies that practiced those religions. The paper looks specifically at Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and at the issues of murder, divorce and taking care of the sick and poor.
From the Paper
"Built into most religious traditions is some sort of ethical code of conduct or series of laws. When these religions become state religions or otherwise become a central part of the mainstream culture of a particular country, those religious ethics can then become part of the political system, and eventually codified into law. These laws related to the most important aspects of human social life, including marriage and divorce, murder, taking care of those who cannot take care of themselves, among many other things. Some religious traditions were more complex than others, detailing more expectations of conduct and regulating more areas of life. This has happened in many areas of the world with many religious traditions, but some of the most influential on political systems have been Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. "

Pornography, 2005.
This paper argues that pornography has a negative effect on society.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, since the rapid popularity and use of the internet in the United States and around the globe, pornography and the viewing of pornography on-line seems to have mushroomed tremendously, resulting in more violence, less general empathy and understanding and a general moral decay of the principles and ideals which make up a civilized society. The author points out the dangers of child pornography, violent pornography that shows rape and violent acts toward women and pornography based on a dominant/submissive theme, whether geared toward men or women. The paper relates that studies show that men who are relatively at high risk for sexual aggression are more likely to be attracted to pornography and to become more aroused and more disposed to act aggressively toward women and even children.
From the Paper
"Another researcher, Catherine Helen Palczewski, notes that more and more women believe that pornography berates and belittles women, and that "pornography is the ideology of a culture which promotes and condones rape, woman-battering, and other crimes of violence against women." Thus, this prevalent aspect of pornography leads to a general degrading of women and a societal acceptance of that degrading as a norm. This is illustrated by many other forms of media, from advertising to film and television, where often the women are portrayed as little more than sex objects."

The Ills of Pornography, 2006.
A position paper that argues against allowing pornography on the internet and in society at large.

Abstract
This paper argues that pornography is harmful to both the women involved in the pornography industry and the consumers of pornography. The paper looks at evidence suggesting that pornography is emotionally damaging and harmful to society and points out that there is strong evidence connecting pornography to violent crime. The paper also explains that it has been argued that pornography can be defined as sexual conduct thereby making the court's view that pornography is a form of political expression misguided. Finally, for the reasons presented above, the paper concludes that pornography should be banned not only on the internet, but from society at large as well.
From the Paper
"Both sociological and psychological research, has yielded evidence that pornography creates a view of women that desensitizes men to the harm connected to violent crimes against women. In some cases, it has been evidenced to make them more likely to commit these types crimes. Pornography helps to create a sexist view of women, working in subtle and not so subtle ways to deny them social and political status equal to men. It has been rightfully argued that pornography is a type of conduct, not speech. Pornography is not about sex, it is a form of forced sex, a sexual reality that eroticizes inequality, hierarchy, dominance, and submission. It is a means through which sexuality is socially constructed, via a domain of exercise that portrays women as things for sexual use, and leads its consumers to want possession and dehumanization of them."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the existence of pornography is not a new phenomena and has, in fact, existed in human society through the ages. It looks at how the widespread availability and easy access, coupled with the increasing trend towards violent, aggressive pornographic material, poses a risk to wholesome societal values and how this is particularly true in the case of children who are exposed to pornography, especially child pornography, in their formative years. It examines how there is considerable research evidence that pornography results in adversely affecting the psychological development of children, with far reaching consequences in terms of their ability to later function well as adults. Since children are the future of any society, it is critical that adequate measures be taken to ensure the healthy and well-rounded development of children in order that they grow up to be productive, humane citizens. One such measure is to ensure that children grow up free of the harmful effects of exposure to pornography.
From the Paper
"Protecting children from the harmful effects of exposure to pornography, however, is easier said than done considering that society, including legislative and scholarly opinion, has yet to reach a consensus on whether pornography does, in fact, have significant harmful effects on human sexual and social behavior. For instance, public opinion including some social commentators, are of the view that pornography is primarily a form of entertainment and essentially harmless, even if it is sexually arousing. To support their point of view, they claim that there is no conclusive scientific evidence that pornography is harmful. Even the United States Supreme Court distinguishes between pornography and obscenity, with only the latter being unprotected by the First Amendment."

Pornography, 2007.
An analysis of possible solutions to the negative effects of pornography on society.

Abstract
This paper discusses the effects of pornography on society and discusses whether pornography should be banned. It argues that pornography should not be banned, however, it should be closely monitored and restricted. It also discusses the possible benefits to society, women and workers within the adult film industry, of introducing these measures.
From the Paper
"Finally, pornography is something which must be - at the very least - closely monitored inasmuch as it reverses the long-standing efforts of feminists to gain for women a measure of dignity and respect - dignity and respect, it need hardly be said, which will see them valued for things other than their physical appearance. In her discussion of the matter, Susan Brownmiller writes that pornography - presumably of the magazine variety - portrays women as commodities, like "cuts of meat" at the local supermarket. Obviously, in light of women's steady march towards academic ascendancy in American universities, this image is as untrue as it is unflattering and it harms millions of American women who are told to see themselves as a "cut of meat"."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to provide a prospective on the issue of pornography, including the identification of the ethical considerations involved, the various approaches for resolving the matter, and finally a definition of my personal position on the harm pornography can do when sold in public places where children are exposed to it.
David Holbrook, in the book he edited, The Case Against Pornography, provides in his preface a telling description of the primary moral issue involved in the matter of pornography. Holbrook writes of the situation in Nazi Germany where the important issues of the time grew "beyond access of moral debate.".
Holbrook goes on to say that: Something of the same seems to be happening today, ... "

Censoring Pornography, 2003.
This paper discusses the controversial topic of pornography and argues that not all pornography is obscene.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the controversial subject of pornography as both an emotional subject and one that deals with morals, privacy, and the 1st Amendment. This paper discusses two extreme views about pornography. One stance takes the side for pornography, defending the naked body as art, or an expression of passion between two people, a venue of materials, which is meant for adults. The other case argues that pornography is sick, immoral, obscene, and to an extreme, some believe it should be illegal. By reading this paper, the author hopes to prove that not all pornography is obscene, and perhaps should be given a second chance.
From the Paper
"This fundamental argument is what will keep people in a disagreement on pornography forever. But what people need to understand is that everybody has the right to view what the want to view, whether is be obscene or not. Just as people have their rights to view it, people have their rights not to view and to not be forced to watch it. This is why playboy TV and the spice channel and shows such as red shoe diaries, are all on pay channels, which a person makes a choice to subscribe to. Just as Hustler, Cheri, Penthouse, and other adult publications are ordered by choice, and by law are mailed in black plastic bags, and in this manner everybody is protected under the first amendment. People who are pro censure have been protected, they are not forced to view it, and the choice to view or not to view is preserved. On the topic of age limits, there may be some common ground among censures and pornographers. They will agree that interior of specialty stores such as Le Sex Shoppe be blocked from view from outside, liquor stores choosing to carry adult magazines stock such materials in a blocked adults only section, and the sale of pornographic materials may be made only to adults ages 18 and over. But still many people will argue that the only solution to pornography is that it be banned all together."

Civil Rights, 2007.
A description of the impact of civil rights on the American political and social landscape.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the impact of civil rights on the US by comparing African-American life prior to the 1950s with life following this time. The author examines various other movements in the US, noting in particular the women's movement and the anti-Vietnam War movement. The author believes, however, that the civil rights movement had an even greater impact. Additionally, the paper cites how Blacks were denied basic human rights in the Constitution, through slavery and in education. The paper concludes using the example of notable African-Americans to show how far civil rights have come.
From the Paper
" While the struggle for women's rights, the countercultural movement, and other social movements of the 1960s would fundamentally restructure American society and change the way that America looked at itself, nothing altered the landscape of the American political and social landscape as much as the American Civil Rights movement. Before the Women's Rights movement women still worked, although their labor was not always recognized, and great women scholars, authors, and professionals had made their mark upon the American landscape. (Furthermore, one could argue that the movement would have meant very little to Black women, had it succeeded in its objectives, but the Civil Rights movement had not). As for the countercultural movement, old and young people have often been in conflict, and the methods of expression of the countercultural, anti-Vietnam movement such as sit-ins and boycotts were often imitations of the techniques of the Civil Rights movement."
