Abstract
In this article, the writer presents a detailed examination of the topic of suspected price gouging by oil companies. Using concrete recent examples of well known companies, including Exxon Mobile, the writer explores allegations of price gouging and argues that it is unfair for oil companies to take advantage of consumers when consumers have supported them for years. According to the writer, social responsibility should supercede corporate responsibility. The writer concludes that the time has come for the oil companies to recognize their social responsibilities and protect the consumers who have kept them in business since their inception. Further, the writer claims that the oil companies need to lower their prices so that the consumer can again trust the prices are fair to everyone involved. The writer includes in this paper approximately 30 pages of source copies.

From the Paper
"According to studies conducted with regards to gasoline refiners are getting more of a profit out of each gallon now than they were at this time a year ago. Crude producers are getting an additional 47 cents a gallon. After Katrina and the price of oil company products began to increase rapidly, Congress held a special session in which many experts and oil company representatives testified regarding the accusation of price gouging. The companies maintained their belief that it was not their work that was price gouging but it was the retailers who sold the gasoline that were participating in price gouging. Retail representatives responded that it was nonsense, pointing out that their customers would not remain loyal if they suddenly began upping the price of gasoline compared to the retailer across the street."

Outline:
Women in the 17th and 18th Century
Olympe de Gouge
From the Paper
"Imagine living during the 17th and 18th Century where women had no rights in public nor in their homes. They did not have the right to vote nor were they encouraged to go to college. Olympe de Gouges was born as Marie Gouze in 1745. She was the daughter of a butcher and a washerwoman, but she changed her life when she married an older man who had sufficient funds to support herself in Paris (Olympe de Gouges p. 1). The 17th and 18th Century were difficult times for women who wanted their freedom to be writers, politicians, teachers, or the freedom to vote. Olympe de Gouges was one of many women who sought freedom for women including the right to vote and a higher education, but ultimately this led to her death."

Abstract
This creative writing paper attempts to capture the spirit and times of the late eighteenth century when a young French woman ruminates on the recent execution of Olympe de Gouges and what it means for France. The paper explores the challenges confronting French women during the period in question and examines in brief some of the social factors which made bloody revolution perhaps inevitable.
From the Paper
"They killed Olympe de Gouges the other day - apparently because they found her ideas too revolutionary ("Olympe de Gouges", para.1). The champion of female rights and equality ("Olympe de Gouges", sec.1; Olympe de Gouges, articles 1-17 and postscript), she died as she had lived - courageously - but she nonetheless died far too young. I am one of the young women who read her work and was inspired by it; I am also one of those young women whole stole in amongst the spectators to witness her death as they first led her to the infernal contraption, mocked her, threw rotten fruit at her, and then shouted out in glee as the blade plunged down through the back of her neck. I cannot tell you my horror and shame that France - my France! - should permit such ghastly atrocities to occur."

Abstract
This paper discusses "The Declaration of the Rights of Man" written in 1789 and discusses how the ideals described in the work were seen to apply to men and women equally. The paper then compares this work to Olympe de Gouges' work "Declaration of the Rights of Women" written in 1791. It describes de Gouges' view of "The Declaration of the Rights of Man" and the changes made in the newer declaration.
Table of Contents:
"The Declaration of the Rights of Women" versus "The Declaration of the Rights of Man"
Conclusion: Enlightenment Optimism
From the Paper
"De Gouges stresses a social contract that reinforces happiness, a happy government that is mutually agreed upon by both genders. She does not deny the need for law, although her system of law has aims of societal engineering, rather than merely protecting rights, as articulated in the first declaration. Despite her cynicism about the current relationship between the genders, even in her tract one can see the enlightenment optimism that rejected the ideas that human nature is flawed by original sin, a faith-based doctrine. If only humanity throws away its erroneous attitudes about bastardy and the inequality of women, then humanity is perfectible, just as the "Declaration of the Rights of Man" suggested that humanity's supposed tendency towards evil and error was rooted in constraint, rather than a lack of constraint. By eliminating bad laws, humanity's innate democratic goodness would emerge."

Abstract
This paper explains that the defenders of non-proprietary software, as opposed to Microsoft's proprietary model, might state that a Microsoft code of ethics is an oxymoron, given the company's perceived rapacity and market dominance, but the Microsoft Corporation does have a formal, published ethical code, which is accessible and formally defined. The author points out that the business code of ethics denies any anti-trust violations without mentioning the lawsuit, states why the Internet browser was wrongly defamed, and does not indicate anything specific as to how the company is achieving anti-trust compliance now. The paper states that the dominance of the firm in the market structure may be socially irresponsible, needlessly gouging consumers, and acting unfairly against rival firms; for a business to be socially responsible, it must fulfill its obligations to its employees, shareholders, consumers, and to the community where it operates at large.
From the Paper
"Microsoft's code of ethics applies to company software development, the legal and financial compliance of all the various national and international facets of its business dealings, and underlines its fair treatment of employees and customers. It is sweeping in its manifesto, but so sweeping it is inclined to be vague. Other than stressing Microsoft's compliance with laws, it is short on specifics as to how these compliances are achieved."
