Abstract
This paper explains that the author has worn the hijab, or veil, over her head and across her shoulders since she was two years old, mimicing her mother, even though it isn't mandatory for girls to wear the hijab until they reach puberty. The author feels that it is to a woman's advantage to protect herself from men who will ordinarily take advantage of her, often without even realizing it. The paper stresses that the main reason the author wears the hijab is the most persuasive, for her: God wishes the best for all His servants, and so He sets down rules to govern their behavior.
From the Paper
"Amazingly, Man recognizes and respects my rules, even without any verbal cues. He is careful and deferential, and I do not put him at ease. I want to keep him at a distance so that our public social relationship, whatever it be-student-teacher, supervisor-employee, or colleague-colleague-remains undamaged by the inevitably personal scale that a male-female relationship becomes if we are attuned to each other on more than one level. Revealing clothes immediately describe the less important part of Woman, and the same is true Man. And so I don the simple fabric of hijab before I go out in public with the same sense of protection that plated armor would give me."

Abstract
This paper examines Islam and the injustices that Muslim women face in their religion. The author discusses injustices in terms of dress, cultural freedom, including genital mutilation. The paper explores whether the Muslim religion is really at fault or if it is a matter of sociological perception. The paper also looks at whether Muslim men regard their treatment of women as unethical or a norm in their society.
From the Paper
"Education is the key. As purveyors of the belief that education raises the standards of living, we are the key. If we are to prove that we still have an ounce of moral fiber in our bodies, we must assume this responsibility. Go forth, learn Islam. Learn the Muslim way of life. Let them not reside in our minds as statistics of historical tragedies. Then, maybe then, will the answers come to us. In dreams. In the horrors of dreams. The dream lingers on. In my dream, the women of Islam continue to speak softly. They speak words of wisdom, confessions of hurt and pleas for help. I delve into my soul and feel the tears gush forth. I reach out my hand to the billowing veils only to find a void. Nothingness. It blankets me. And then, I understand. For the first time, I understand. Souls of compassion inevitably strip off the hijabs and the burqas. One at a time. One step further. We are nearing an unveiled world."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the use of the veil by the minister to hide his own dark secrets and remind his parishoners of their own sins. The writer examines the various reactions of his congregation members as they attempt to make sense of the veil, the same reactions that humans generally have to all that they do not understand in life. It concludes that the veil represents death, mystery and evil that are present in all of our lives.
From the Paper
"?The Minister?s Black Veil? by Nathaniel Hawthorne is written as a parable which is a short story intended to teach a lesson. The lesson of this story seems to be that everyone has dark secrets that may be so shameful that we don?t want to admit them to ourselves or to others. The black veil in this story was Mr. Hooper?s way of not dealing with his secret and also of teaching this lesson to his parishioners. It gave his congregation an eery feeling to view the veil upon his face and made them think of their own sins more carefully."

"The Minister's Black Veil", 2001.

Abstract
This paper analyzes Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story about a minister's life. This minister preaches his regular sermon in church usually in an uninspiring way until one Sunday, he shows up with a black veil on his face. This paper discusses the effects this had on his congregation and its symbolism. It details how Hawthorne?s story, and the veil itself, is a metaphor for all of our sins and transgressions.
From the Paper
"Hawthorne?s short story is deceptively simple. He tells the tale of a minister, Parson Hooper, who comes to church one Sunday wearing a black veil over his face. Nothing else about him has changed, but this veil frightens the worshippers, and sets off all kinds of rumors, including that Parson Hooper has gone mad. ?Such was the effect of this simple piece of crepe, that more than one woman of delicate nerves was forced to leave the meetinghouse. Yet perhaps the pale-faced congregation was almost as fearful a sight to the minister, as his black veil to them.? As he preaches his sermon, the congregation seems to find this sermon special, and somehow it touches each one. Hawthorne says that Hooper was normally a rather ?uninspired? preacher, and today was no exception, but the people perceive his words differently. They frighten many of them. ?Each member of the congregation, the most innocent girl, and the man of hardened breast, felt as if the preacher had crept upon them, behind his awful veil, and discovered their hoarded iniquity of deed or thought.? Perhaps Hooper?s words are hitting a little close to home, and people are seeing some of the things they cover up in their own lives, as Hooper covers his face with the veil."

"The Lifted Veil" and "The Madwoman in the Attic", 2002.
An analysis of nineteenth century female writers by review of "The Lifted Veil" by George Eliot and "The Madwoman in the Attic" by Sarah Gilbert and Susan Gubar.

Abstract
This paper will discuss the book by Susan Gubar and Sandra Gilbert called "The Madwoman" in the Attic, and seek to understand, through their exposition on nineteenth century female writers, how George Eliot in "The Lifted Veil" reveals patriarchal premise, but is merely showing the dark aside of this obvious bigotry to opposite sex relations. By analyzing the text of "The Lifted Veil", we can see how she usurps the context of a new femininity in her time, by her allusions to male dominance in the book.

Abstract
This paper reviews Nathaniel Hawthorne's short parable entitled, "The Minister's Black Veil." It argues that the minister in the story is miserably failing his church congregation and that he is making his own monomaniacal obsession with some inner self-affliction take precedence over what should be concerns about the spiritual welfare of his followers. The paper analyzes the plot and text of the story to support its assertions.
From the Paper
"To close, this paper has argued that Father Hooper has not in any way satisfied his obligations or duties to his parishioners. For one thing, he has engendered mistrust, uncertainty and fear, and made his own monomaniacal obsession with whatever ails him supersede any concerns he should have for those who look to him for spiritual guidance and support. He has failed his flock, as it were, and the end result of all this is for the image of the church, the faith of the community, and the intimate bond between minister and church assembly to all be compromised."

?Veiled Sentiments?, 2002.
A look at the main messages in Lila Abu-Lughod's book "Veiled Sentiments".

Abstract
The paper shows that the central research question addressed by Lila Abu-Lughod in her book "Veiled Sentiments" is how women and young men may express certain personal feelings that otherwise violate their moral code, the code conveyed to them by their social group. The paper discusses how the Bedouin society she studies is one where people often sang or used short poems to express their feelings and how the author notes that the question that arises concerns the relationship between the Bedouin poetic discourse and the discourse of ordinary social life.
From the Paper
"The world depicted by Abu-Lughod is a society based on blood ties above all, both linking people to the past and to one another in the present. In approaching this society, Abu-Lughod first had to divest herself of certain romantic notions of Bedouin life. She believed that the people were tied to the sea, but she found that the sea played little or no part in their social life and that it was the desert which was central in their thinking. She was also surprised to find that the people lived in houses instead of tents, though they did pitch their tents next to the houses and spent most of their time in the tents."

"The Veil of Maya", 2002.
A look at the philosophies of Aristotle and Plato as they relate to "The Veil of Maya".

Abstract
Whatever we see around us is believed to be an illusion, called by the philosophers as the ?Veil of Maya?. This paper examines the philosophies of reality in the world, focusing on the works of Aristotle and Plato. The conception of Maya is that whatever we can see, feel, hear sense through our five senses is not the only ?reality? of world and that the reality is far beyond what our senses can actually experience.
From the Paper
"Concepts and ideologies, such as the ?Veil of Maya?, have tried to declare the philosophical interpretation of the ?reality? of the world. These conceptions are helpful in analyzing the importance of our senses and to assess the belief that whatever we observe is not all reality but there is something beyond that apparent reality. Philosophers like Plato and Aristotle have developed their own theories relating to the reality of the world and which gives us the necessary knowledge to judge our senses as a means to observe the outer world. Plato has defined the objective world as an illusion and relates to objective appearances, which we call objects, things etc, as illusionary objects. His classical example of slaves staring at shadows can best define his conception of objects and things. According to him, the real world objects that we term as things or physical body are nothing more than shadows and those who limit their perception to these ?shadows? are separating themselves from reality. Hence, Plato?s philosophy of real world implies that whatever we experience in our daily lives, through our senses, is in fact an illusion and the reality is something beyond that illusion. "

Abstract
By reviewing the case of Salomon vs. Salomon the paper considers the implications of the separate legal entity theory of the corporation. The paper examines the reluctance of the courts to examine the true nature of the corporation and attribute accountability to the officers and shareholders of the company.
Outline
The Corporation
The Artificial Entity
Salomon v. Salomon & Co. Ltd
Unifying Process?
Tortious Responsibility
Tax
Gap Filling
Legislative Lifting
Consequences
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Examples of case law have shown us that the courts are not willing to allow individuals to use the corporate form to "evade a contractual or legal obligation". This has been clearly demonstrated with the preceding case law, in particular in the case of Adams v. Cape Industries where this principle has been brought to the forefront of British Company Law and practice . However, in Adams v. Cape Industries, the courts were only contending with a speculative tortious liability, here we are concerned with the principles of the company or individuals, prior to incorporation, committing a fraud and denying another of their legal rights. The question that the courts need to address in their decision making process is the timing of the fraud being committed."

?Darkwater: Voice From Within the Veil?, 2002.
This paper reviews "Darkwater: Voice From Within the Veil," by W.E.B Du Bois, specifically, the philosophy behind the book of essays and what Du Bois is saying to his readers.

Abstract
The paper states that Du Bois, writing in the 1920?s, is one of the most influential African-Americans to write before the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. The author feels that "Darkwater" has become a classic in African-American non-fiction. The paper discusses the central themes of the book: Self-rule in Africa, role of black women and outrage at the prejudice in the U.S.
From the Paper
"Du Bois writes with the elegance of one who knows he can write, and paint vivid pictures. He says of his grandfather, "Uncle Tallow," he was "a brown man, strong-voiced and redolent with tobacco, who sat stiffly in a great high chair because his hip was broken. He was probably a bit lazy and given to wassail" (Du Bois 486). These rich descriptions of people and places flow throughout the book, giving it depth and allowing the reader to glimpse a little of black life at the turn of the 20th century. He uses the same lyrical description to paint a picture of the denigration of Blacks and their hopeless lives, which led to the race riots in East St. Louis in 1917."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine Nathaniel Hawthorne's nineteenth-century short story "The Minister's Black Veil" from a historical perspective. The plan of the research will be to set forth evidence showing that the story is in significant part a reflection of Hawthorne's understanding of and reaction to early American social history, particularly his philosophical judgment of Puritan Massachusetts Bay.
"The Minister's Black Veil" portrays what Becker terms "the Puritan spirit" in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, inasmuch as it illustrates the confluence of secular and religious life in Boston. Yet whereas Becker identifies the vitality of eighteenth century Boston with the residue of the positive qualities of the Puritan ethic, he is careful to note that in the seventeenth century, which is the period of the story, the prevailing form of ...

The Veil, 2005.
An explanation of the dress code of Muslim women.

Abstract
This paper, written in the form of a letter, addresses the topic of the controversial veil the Muslim female is required to wear. The author explains, form a personal point of view, the veil and its value to Muslim women. The paper contends that the veil is a true expression of the women's expression and freedom of choice.
From the Paper
"In essence, the hijab means different things to different women. Many find the veil a sacred right, an honor to wear, while others have rejected it completely. Some women are under the impression that in order to embrace the modern feminist movement, one must remove the veil as it represents too much tradition or takes away from freedom. I believe this to not be the case. For the modern Islamic woman, there are many choices. The hijab represents her religious choice to share that side of herself with the public. In no way, does it underscore her ability to express herself. In many ways, it exhibits her power. By wearing a veil, the woman is telling the world what she values and this makes her more powerful than the Western women, naked and exposed to the world."

"The Minister's Black Veil", 2005.
Examines angles of reading this story by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 2 sources, $ 44.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how the writer believes Nathaniel Hawthorne wanted his story, "The Minister's Black Veil," to be read. The thesis is made that Hawthorne is acting as his protagonist/main character Hooper in his attempts to trick the reader, much as the story's church people are fooled. Not only is the primary source, the short story itself, referenced, but a secondary source, a scholarly journal article, is used, as well.
From the Paper
"In his recent scholarly journal article entitled "The Narrative Suppression: Sin, Secrecy, and Subjectivity in 'The Minister's Black Veil,'" Paul Emmett cites many instances in Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic short story, "The Minister's Black Veil," in which he believes there are underlying sexual and criminal secrets that Hawthorne and his main character, Reverend Hooper, are hiding. Emmett takes Edgar Allan Poe's timeless assertion that Hawthorne and Hooper are concealing "a crime of dark dye" (Emmett 101) and runs with it, in a modern, Freudian manner, hoping to uncover all sorts of tabloid-worthy details and dirty deeds."
