Abstract
This paper presents a critical analysis of the 2002 musical film "Chicago" by Rob Marshall. The model upon which the analysis is based is Aristotle's hierarchy of six elements of theatrical style.
From the Paper
"The six elements of theater proposed by the classical world's great thinker, Aristotle, are essentially a way of organizing the various factors which make up a dramatic stage performance. Aristotle's model also gives us a means of making meaningful evaluations of the aesthetic success of a piece of drama, usually tragedy, by providing a hierarchy of criteria which,while distinct, remain inter-related. This can be seen in all types of tragic drama through the ages, from classical world pieces..."

The paper compares and contrasts the intent and outcome of the two speeches.

Winston Churchill's Iron Curtain Speech, 1946
The Marshall Plan, 1947
Analysis and Contrast
From the Paper
"Many analysts have viewed the Iron Curtain speech of Winston Churchill during post war era as an evident form of warmongering. He made assumptions and pre-conclusive statements about a cold war that might happen between the US and its allies against communist Russia and it did. Even at the time when he was no longer the Prime minister of the UK, Churchill is still being revered by nations as an influential figure in the post war era. His thoughts and presumptions were in his accustomed ruthless statement of reality. The "Iron Curtain" speech gave Stalin a pretext for mobilizing the Soviet people against their former allies (Vladislov Suvok, Inside Kremlin's Cold War). Churchill's statements in the Iron Curtain speech speaks of his influence among nations and must have preceded policies integrated in US' Marshall Plan in accordance to the containment of Russian power and Communism in Europe. Analyzing both circumstances, should there have been no Iron Curtain Speech lay the possibility that Russian people would still be induced to the idea that the US and other European countries, beyond the borders of communist ideology would still be considered an ally of Russia. And that the US with its initial reluctance to believe the conclusion of Churchill might still consider other means in resolving issues of power containment of Russia in Europe."

From the Paper
"The initial efforts of the postwar reconstruction called the Marshall Plan actually provided very little benefit to the nation of Greece. Part of that may be attributed to the fact that Greece had a major Civil War between 1946 and 1949 therefore the world's attention for post war reconstruction following World War II turned to other nations.

Abstract
This paper examines former Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, John Marshall. The paper discusses Marshall's many career accomplishments, including army officer, lawyer, delegate, foreign minister, congressman and Secretary of State.

The paper then investigates Marshall's contributions to federalism and the opposition he encountered from U.S. Presidents Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. The paper concludes that Marshall was truly one of the nation's founding fathers, with wide-reaching, long-lasting influence on American political life.
From the Paper
"Born the son of Thomas Marshall, a successful planter in the newly formed frontier county of Fauquier, John Marshall received a limited education. His formal education consisted of a year spent at the school of Reverend Archibold Campbell and as a student under a Scottish tutor. He read the works of Horace and Livy, as well as the traditional classics. During the outbreak of the war for independence, Marshall served many different posts. In this time period of his life, he gained the gentlemanly qualities necessary for a career politician. Near the end of the war, Marshall continued his education at William and Mary where he studied law briefly. He was granted a law license in 1780. From this point on, Marshall embarked on a storied political career. His ambition and loyalty eventually carried him to the top of the judicial branch of government."

Abstract
This paper discusses the United States' famous European Recovery Program, more commonly known as the Marshall Plan. It describes how, combined with the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan helped rebuild the shambles that was the Greek government and nation following the stresses of excessive and violent internal and external conflict. The paper concludes that Greece has probably benefited in the long run from the U.S. Marshall Plan.
From the Paper
"This may be true, but Greek has probably benefited in the long run from the U.S. Marshall Plan. Certainly, the physical improvements of the schools, hospitals, roads, railroads, building, etc. are lasting reminders of the Marshall Plan. These were also things that were necessary to help the people of Greece and its economy. As part of U.S. interest in Greece, the U.S. pushed for Greece to become a full member of NATO which benefited the country in the long run. From the personal interviews of Warren, an AMAG worker, and Bernaris, a Greek government representative, a positive glow is put on the Marshall plan. Both gentlemen were interviewed years later, but recalled that time in Greece as a time of opportunity and progress. Bernaris says in the interview, "I am sure that the Greek people will always be very grateful to President Truman for his initiative." In the rest of the interview, Bernaris goes on to praise the efforts of the Marshall Plan for putting Greece on the path to recovery."

Abstract
The paper discusses how much of Kerry James Marshall's art was influenced by his culture and the communities where he was raised. The paper explains how Birmingham, Alabama was the scene of massive civil rights marches led by Dr. Martin Luther King in 1963 and it was in these turbulent times that Marshall grew up. The paper discusses the social approach Kerry James Marshall takes towards his art and how he has attempted to take on the issue of negative representations of black people.
From the Paper
"He has a series of paintings and sculptures called "Souvenir" in which there are a series of stamps (similar to postage stamps) that have slogans on them like "Black Power!" This series is a tribute to the Civil Rights Movement; also in "Souvenir" there are middle-class living rooms with the ghosts of Dr. King, John Kennedy, and Bobby Kennedy (all who were assassinated) are like angels floating around the room, according to the PBS story. It's a surreal painting, but the meaning is very down to earth: many good people have died who supported equal justice for all."

Abstract
This paper explores the life of Chief Justice John Marshall. The writer shows how during his 34 years as a Chief Justice, John Marshall raised the Supreme Court from an inconsequential position in the Federal government to one of power and prestige. The paper shows how Marshall's contribution shaped the Constitution by the breadth and wisdom of his interpretation.
From the Paper
"Marshall?s beliefs stemmed back several years before his placement on the Supreme Court. Off and on from 1782 to 1796 he was politically active in the Virginia House of Delegates. He became a leader of the Federalist Party, which had already soured Jefferson. It was during Marshall?s tenure in the House of Delegates that he became involved in the Virginia Convention debates about the adoption of the Constitution. As an anti-Federalist, Patrick Henry was opposed to a ?United States? Constitution and against a strong judiciary. He pledged his first loyalty to his state."

Abstract
This paper briefly recounts the childhood years of Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American Supreme Court Justice in U.S. history, and then proceeds to discuss his legal career in greater detail. The paper looks at Marshall's involvement in two landmark civil rights cases and his commitment to and active involvement in the civil rights movement.
From the Paper
"To some of us, Thurgood Marshall is the first black man ever to become Supreme Court Justice but to most Americans, he is more than that. His name today symbolizes complete equality and freedom, not only for blacks but also for every individual regardless of his color or race. To associate Marshall with law alone and to discuss his accomplishments in this context might be unfair to a person who devoted his whole life to the creation of a moral society where every individual is accorded equal rights and where color doesn?t determine or plague civil rights. Thus Marshall was the man who taught us to value freedom and equality over ?heritage? or ?history?. He must therefore be remembered as a champion of civil rights and as someone who had the courage to reject rigid interpretations of law to create a better and more humane society for every individual."

Abstract
This paper evaluates the impact of the Marshall Plan for European recovery after the Second World War. It discusses the Marshall Plan, not merely for its economic achievements, but for its ambitious political agenda and its inadvertent shaping of subsequent European history. It describes its stated goal of bringing about economic recovery to the war-ravaged countries of Western Europe and also its involvement in setting in motion forces that changed the political face of Europe and set the stage for the subsequent emergence of the European Union. Finally, it looks at its contribution to the escalation of the Cold War and the eventual collapse of the former Soviet Union.

From the Paper
"The European Recovery Program, more commonly known as the Marshall Plan (after its creator, U.S. Secretary of State George Marshall), is widely considered to be one of the most successful foreign-aid programs in the history of American foreign policy. Most historians have nothing but praise for the Marshall Plan, and analyses of its achievements generally focus on the favorable circumstances in Europe that contributed to its success. However, with the hindsight of over half a century, one might legitimately ask if this unqualified praise is justified. Did the Marshall Plan really make a significant difference in the difficult process of European post-war recovery? This paper will argue that it did, that it played an integral role not only in the rebuilding of Europe, but also in establishing a new world order after World War II. The paper will discuss: (1) the economic and political situation in Western Europe after World War II that led to the creation of the Marshall Plan; (2) the conception and goals of the Marshall Plan; (3) the various European responses to the Marshall Plan and European participation in it; (4) the economic accomplishments of the Marshall Plan; and (5) the impact of the Marshall Plan on Europe as a whole. The paper will conclude that the influence of the Marshall Plan extended far beyond what the plan was originally intended to achieve."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the predictions and views of media guru Marshall McLuhan, who argued that all forms of media exert a compelling influence on humanity and society and not necessarily for the benefit of man. In one of his more well-known books, "The Medium is the Massage," McLuhan contends that people consume both medium and message as a total experience. The writer of this paper details the rapidly advancing technologies of the 21st century while examining their impact on humanity and society. This paper discusses the views of McLuhan, one of the founders of media ecology, who voiced his concerns that the media, especially television, brought the brutalities of war into our living rooms, while making the viewer numb to the negative happenings of the world. The author had many strong opinions regarding modern forms of media and communication, such as the telephone. McLuhan was concerned that phones made it possible for people to talk with one another without actually being together. This paper also delves into the various predictions and concerns McLuhan had regarding the emergence of electronic media, in which the author often stated that man's dependence on electronic forms of media would eventually spell the end of humanity as it it now known.
From the Paper
"Of more concern, technology continues to expand the gap between the haves and have-nots. According to the International Telecommunication Union, 90 percent of Internet users come from industrialized countries and only 25 percent of people in developing countries have Internet access. A computer in Bangladesh costs eight years the country's annual salary. Similarly, in the United States, for example, technology, especially the Internet, is a class issue. Compare the number of the technology budget and wired PCs and laptops in the suburbs to that of the inner-cities and other poorer areas of the country. Information is power, and the power is located in similar pockets as the money."

Abstract
This paper explains that John Marshall?s core philosophy was that individual rights were paramount and that the best agency to protect those rights is a strong central government. The author relates that "Marbury vs. Madison" defined the role of the Supreme Court; "Fletcher vs. Peck" answered the question of whether or not contracts made by a state are binding. The author continues that "Dartmouth College vs. Woodward" solved the question of what is the nature and identity of a corporation; "McCulloch vs. Maryland " delineates how far the federal government can go in its relationship with the sovereign states to uphold provisions of the federal constitution.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"John Adams was defeated in his run for the presidency by Thomas Jefferson in 1800. In the waning days of his administration, Adams appointed sixteen justices of the peace for Washington, DC. These appointments were confirmed the same day by the lame duck federalist congress. The commissions were signed by Adams and delivered to the secretary of state (interestingly Marshall held this office) to be sealed and delivered. But not all of the commissions were delivered because of the pressures of time and a shortage of clerks. When Jefferson assumed office, he and his Secretary of State, James Madison, refused to deliver the remaining commissions. One of the appointees, William Marbury, appealed to the Supreme Court to force Madison to deliver the undelivered commissions. The whole affair caused great political controversy. Jefferson and his followers resented the last minute appointments and saw them as a ploy by the outgoing Federalists to retain some influence and power. Marshall, a Federalist, privately stated that he believed that Marbury was entitled to his commission. Jefferson and Madison made it known that if the court ruled against them and issued a writ ordering Madison to deliver the commission, that they would ignore it. This concerned Marshall because he felt that this defiance would undermine the court. He had to find a way to resolve the situation by making his views about the case known without provoking defiance from Jefferson. In its opinion, written by Marshall, the court addressed three questions: 1.) was Marbury entitled to the commission? 2.) was he entitled to remedy? 3.) if so, was the Supreme Court the place to seek that remedy? The government argued that Marbury had no right to remedy. Marshall addressed the question of the legitimacy of the appointment first. He viewed the appointment to office as akin to individual property rights, which he defended throughout his career. Notwithstanding the fact that the appointments were made by an outgoing president and congress, Marshall affirmed that once a commission was signed and sealed, the appointee had a right to the office. Next, Marshall addressed Marbury?s right to remedy. He stated that the purpose of the court was not to decide political questions. Elected officials are accountable to the electorate for political decisions. The judiciary?s function is to address legal questions. In this case, the question was a legal one, since it involved an individual?s rights, which an elected official could not abrogate. Thus Marshall ruled that Marbury was entitled to remedy. The answer to the third question was the most important. Marshall noted that the Constitution spelled out the Supreme Court?s jurisdiction. This particular case was based on an expansion of that jurisdiction by Judiciary Act of 1789. Marshall stated that this law was unconstitutional. Congress could not alter the intent of the constitution by passing a law. In making this ruling, Marshall established the principle of judicial review. He claimed for the court, the power to review the laws of Congress and rule on their constitutionality."

Abstract
This paper discusses the social repercussions felt as a result of the mass media. The author examines the life and contribution to how the media is viewed by Canadian Marshall McLuhan. Some of the different areas examined are how language is used to express ideas, which individuals receive them and the mode of technology that occurs between the two. The author examines two different aspects of media, the languages of speech and the written word and how their impact is felt differently in society. The author also examines McLuhan's view on how new technology in this field impacted society, especially the individual. This paper demonstrates how McLuhan's different theories tied together and how in his opinion, it is the different modes of technology who have really come to influence how the media and its role in influencing society.
From the Paper
"When a new technology is introduced to a society, new ratios will develop throughout and cultural perception will change. This is where one begins to see the basis of McLuhan thought, the impact on the individual of the technology of the media. When most individuals receive a message they are aware of the content, and the content only. Few recognize how important it is to be aware of how something is said. The attitudes conveyed throughout the message, the meanings that lie beneath the surface, are more important as they shape how the actual content is perceived. These two schools of thought made up the whole of popular thinking. At least, that is the way it was until McLuhan. With one sentence McLuhan introduced a whole new point of view. That sentence was: ?The medium is the message?. McLuhan contended that what was truly important was the technology that was used, not the content or the way that the content was presented."

Abstract
The paper examines Thurgood Marshall's life and describes his tireless service in defence of civil rights for all. The paper relates that his part in the 1954 Brown V. Board of Education case represents the defining moment in the life of this indomitable leader. The paper also explains that his style of leadership, most akin to the charismatic leadership style, set him apart from others and enriches his legacy.
From the Paper
"Thurgood Marshall Supreme Court Justice and pioneer of the civil rights movement was instrumental in crafting the United States of America as we know it today. Having long regarded the US Constitution fundamentally flawed for its allowance of slavery, Cohen Marshall bore a grudge against racial injustice and the American institutions that perpetuated segregation and exclusion."

Abstract
Analysis of the most significant effects of the United States' post-World War II European Recovery Plan (The Marshall Plan). Purpose of ERP to assist in the economic recovery of Western Europe. Argues that the plan was a blend of generosity and self-interest, humane and economic aid, and combatting the Soviet threat
From the Paper
"The three most significant effects of the United States' European Recovery Plan (ERP), better known as the Marshall Plan, were the economic recovery of most of the nations of western Europe, the securing of these countries in an American sphere of influence where they were relatively safe from the threat of the USSR, and the establishment of the basis for European cooperation that eventually led to the European Union (EU), as it came to be called. Although the Marshall Plan is often hailed as one of the most generous international initiatives in history and is also sometimes derided as an attempt to establish American cultural and political hegemony, the truth about this undertaking falls in between these two poles. For, while it is true that American dominance (sometimes unwanted) in many spheres was, indeed, an important effect of the Marshall Plan and while it is equally..."
