From the Paper
"Socrates had long been known for questioning the premises of his society. He was a traveling teacher, who claimed that he knew nothing, and yet managed to preach his unique views through enlightening series of questions that forced whoever he may address to slowly abandon their way of thought and take a fresh look at the world. He was a sweeping, revolutionary force in the world. Unfortunately, the world does not always like revolution. He was brought up on charges on impiety; his accusers claimed that because he questioned certain preconceptions about the gods that he did not believe in them and that he corrupted the innocent minds of youth. The penalty he faced was death. It was against this truly significant background that he undertook to debate the origin of piety and goodness. On his way to trial, he stopped one Euthyphro, a man proclaimed as a prophet and seer of the gods. ?Tell me then, what is the pious, and what the impious, do you say?? (Euthyphro, 5d) This is a vital question not only in terms of Socrates? impending need to defend himself before his judges, but also in the scope of the world. After all, if piety is a supreme virtue, then surely one ought to know what it is."

Abstract
This paper explains that the film "Good Night and Good Luck" is a social commentary and biography of 1950s era CBS television newsman Edward R. Murrow (1908-1965), and the period of the "McCarthy Years". The author points out that the transitions between film shots and real footage was made excellent because both the entire film and the real footage are in black and white and almost always the people inside the CBS studio itself are seen looking at television monitors where this footage is playing. The paper relates that the film was effective visually as a depiction of the 1950s because it was shot it entirely in black and white (as there was no color television in the 1950s), the 1950s-era costumes, the prevalence of cigarette smoke inside the workplace, the 1950s jazz instrumental and vocal music and the overall stark, "no frills" atmosphere of this era and setting.

Abstract
The writer discusses the duties and involvement that women had in the way as well as examples of patriotism shown by women. We are also given some examples of female heroines from the war.
From the paper:
?When we think about a Southern Belle, we envision a pale, fragile wisp of a woman who swoons if it gets to hot. She is delicate and beautiful and must be taken care of by a man. Over the last centuries this is the image that we have adopted when it comes to the way we perceive Southern women. The reality however is much different. Even during the Civil War women of the Confederate side were tough, capable and willing to do what ever it took to win the war effort against the North.?

Abstract
This paper tackles the eternal question of what makes a good leader by focusing on this classical philosophical work by Plato and some writings of Socrates. These two believed that a truly good leader's actions must be informed by knowing how good and evil are different from each other.
From the Paper
"The question of what a leader should do and be is, of course, hardly a new one. It lay at the heart of some of the most important debates of the classical world. We cannot help but, when we read Plato?s political and moral philosophy as he expresses it in The Republic, to find some of our questions being asked. Plato, and Socrates as he is represented in this text by his student, argues that a leader must understand the nature of goodness, that his or her actions must be informed by knowing how good and evil are different from each other. I would agree with these great philosophers. This does not mean that a leader may never do something wrong or even evil: There is a difference (as we all know from our personal experiences) between knowing what is right and actually doing it all of the time. But any legitimate leader must know the difference between right and wrong."

Abstract
This paper attempts to understand the fundamental questions between science, religion, thought, and human balance, as well as illustrate the thoughts of these philosophers and how they never truly came at consistent answers to these questions. The writer discusses the philosophies of Hobbes, Russell, Kant and Nietzsche and focuses on philosophy and the relationship between the message it communicates and the questions it evokes. The writer also attempts to understand just whom philosophy intends to satisfy and includes a discussion on understanding technology.
From the Paper
"Western culture has always grappled with the meaning of life, whether there is or isn?t a God, is he male or female, does science take precedence over this God, etc. Philosophers, in answering these questions, have made assumptions about the nature of reality. ?These assumptions tend to be expressed in oppositional language, such as mind and body, divinity and nature, orthodoxy and heterodoxy, science and religion.? In later philosophy, thinkers developed a larger capacity for thought and started to grapple with the concept of reason. This occurred at the time of Socrates and the formation of Platonic philosophy, and again in the 1470s and 80s during the Renaissance, when scholars were prone to finding magic and mysticism in the arts and the doctrines of religion. (Kaufman, 1987)"

Good vs. Evil, 2005.

Abstract
This paper compares the differing interpretations of good and evil in the texts of Frankenstein and Dracula. The paper argues that within the framework of the Victorian era and the emergence of science, the novels take opposing positions regarding the role of science in society and how evil tends to manage itself in the emerging world order.
From the Paper
"Bram Stoker's "Dracula" and Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" offer contrasting interpretations of what the nature of good and evil are in the world. To Stoker, the question of good and evil fundamentally hinges upon female sexuality; from the perspective of late Victorian England, the battleground between ancient demons and the divine new frontier was the particular role that women played in society. To Shelley, on the other hand, good and evil are more complex matters. Although both authors seem to believe that the possibility for evil resides in all of us, Shelley sees evil as being more elementally linked to selfish pursuits of knowledge and science. So, both books supply a different answer to the question, "What may not be expected in a country of eternal light?" (Shelley 6)."

The Good Life According to Plato, 2002.
Addressing the question of what constitutes "the good life" in modern times, according to Plato's philosophy.

Abstract
This paper explains what the common American defines as 'the good life'. It shows that this is a subjective judgement defined by an individual, but most people consider this to be based on material objects. This paper compares these attitudes to Plato's philosophies. It shows that this worship of power and luxury is in direct opposition to Plato?s theories concerning the development of a just society. Plato believed that a society should be broken into three specific castes, the citizens, the rulers, and the military.
From the Paper
"The citizens, at the very bottom of Plato?s society, would have the most luxury. Citizens simply do not have the responsibilities of the rulers or of the military. They are not required to keep order and they are not required to rule.
The military would be provided with some limited luxuries. Military personnel are charged with the duty to keep order. Luxury often breeds temptation, and the military should not be in a position to be tempted.
The highest class, that of the rulers, would be provided with no luxuries. Their duty is to the people and the people alone. They must be selfless and willing to give up anything for their duty. Indeed, the ruling class must be willing to give up their own children in order to remain among this caste."

Orgasms: What are They Really Good For?, 2005.
This paper is a literature review exploring the question: "What are orgasms really good for?

Abstract
This paper examines physiologically orgasm in both males and females, the psychologically and physically benefits accorded the participants in sexual intercourse and orgasm and how the American work ethic forces society to view sex and orgasms as something to be "achieved" rather than in which to take great delight. The author points out that, while researching this topic, he has learned that sexual intercourse and orgasm, when experienced regularly, can serve to replace long, boring and strenuous workouts at the gym and, when engaging in a sexual relationship, it is most beneficial for the partners to communicate and try to enjoy the entire experience in and of itself. The paper relates that society focuses heavily on its goal that orgasm is achieved each time there is sex thereby neglecting all the wonderful feelings and excitement that is associated with orgasm.
From the Paper
"Today, in an era with the fabled multiple orgasm and general sexual liberation (although the U.S. military still has a don't ask don't tell policy), the trend is that sexual intercourse is the prized portion of the intimate relationship and everyone should work to attain orgasms. The following will examine how this belief system has even infiltrated the language of sex. The term foreplay including activities like kissing, hand-stimulation of the genitals, and mouth-to-genital stimulation indicates that they are not the real sex act. Foreplay implies they happen before the real deal, before in heterosexual orientation the penis penetrates the vagina. Hyde and DeLamater (2003) coined it perfectly in reference to the common phrase, "'achieving orgasm,' as if orgasm were something to be achieved like a promotion on the job." This is why I chose to research the topic of orgasm and society's perspective. Sex is something special - a biological and psychological requirement and should surpass the influences that burden our days. Once our work behaviors infiltrate the bedroom, it turns sexual intercourse into another work-related activity almost as if we should be punching in our time cards before having sex."

Abstract
The paper provides answers to five questions about the play "Oedipus Rex," by Sophocles. The paper discusses the issues of hubris, fate, free will and also touches upon Freud's "On the Interpretation of Dreams."
From the Paper
"Hubris is defined in The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language as over bearing pride or presumption arrogance. This term aptly applies to the character of Oedipus in the play "Oedipus Rex" because Oedipus is so full of pride that he is blind to the reality of his true identity and what he has done. Oedipus boldly declares that he will find his father's murderer, completely unaware that he himself murdered his father."
