Abstract
The following paper discusses the controversial charges brought about by the government on Microsoft. The writer examines thoughts and opinions of people and companies that think that Microsoft and CEO Bill Gates are acting in violation of the anti-trust laws of the United States, while others think that the charges against Microsoft are damaging the free market. This paper examines the truth to both sides of the argument.
From the Paper
"The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 was passed by the United States Congress in order to declare illegal ?every contract combination in the form of a trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce with several states, or foreign nations?, meaning that any corporate action for the purpose of eliminating competition in an area of business and of controlling the market for a product, was declared illegal. (1) In May of 1998, the United States Department of Justice charged the Microsoft Corporation with conducting such illegal anti-competitive business practices. Microsoft, the largest and wealthiest software company in the world, was under fire because it was supplying, free of charge, it?s version of an internet browser called Internet Explorer with the selling of the Windows operating system. The government stated ?internet browsers are separate products competing in a separate product market from personal computer operating systems??. (2) The government was calling for action to split the Microsoft Corporation into two separate companies: software and web browsing."

Abstract
This paper takes a quote from the book "My Brother Sam is Dead" and discusses whether or not the U.S. could have survived without so much bloodshed. The writer of this paper allows for the discussion of American policies and historical decisions that have caused killing in the name of Americans. The paper focuses mainly on the period around the Civil War and the expansion to the West.
From the Paper
"Throughout American history residents have been led to believe that the American Revolution was a necessary evil that could not be avoided at any costs. The killing and the agony that was involved in that revolution have been taught in classrooms since the beginning of public education as necessary to the cause(Collier, 1989). In more recent years however, many have begun to question whether or not it was really as necessary as it has been portrayed over the years. In a book by Lincoln and Christopher Collier called My Brother Sam is Dead the possibility of there being to much violence used comes to light through the telling of the plot. After reading the book the answer to the question Could the United States have made its way without all that agony and killing? Becomes a startling and revealing no."

A look at Union General William T. Sherman's fateful march from Atlanta to the sea.

Abstract
The paper describes Sherman's vicious and destructive campaign to dismantle the forces of Confederate resistance along the 300 mile march to the sea. The paper shows how President Lincoln needed Sherman's march to be as effective and destructive as possible in order to dismantle the psychological and physical tie that kept the southern people and its army holding out against the Union forces. The paper illustrates the violence involved but concludes that Sherman's march was both militarily and psychologically necessary to bring about a close to the war.
Outline:
Introduction
The Need to Succeed
The March to the Sea
In Summary
From the Paper
"In September, 1864, when Atlanta fell into the hands of the Union's General William T. Sherman, the march to the coast, especially the last five miles of that march, would prove the most difficult faced by Sherman's Union forces during their 300 mile long march through the south. "Sherman's march," or the "march to the sea," which has become historically synonymous with a 300 mile path of death and mindless destruction inflicted upon the Confederate Army, southern civilians, and refugee-slaves by the advancing Union Army under the direction of General Sherman; was in fact not just a strategic victory, but a psychological victory for the Union Army, and served as a turning point in the American Civil War."

Cindy Sherman, 2003.

Abstract
This paper examines how American artist Cindy Sherman, who began to work on the famous series "Untitled Film Stills" at the end of 1977, stages mediated images of women through shot, costume, pose and situation, embodying a vast number of characters herself. It looks at how, through the medium of photography Sherman both captures realistic images and transforms herself according to her wishes. It also discusses, with reference to Sherman's work, whether photography is used as an artifice in representing the human figure and how, ultimately can photography can portray realism.
From the Paper
"The work by Cindy Sherman is, above all, based on different artistic forms; among them is film, theatre, and painting, especially portraits. When we first look at Untitled Film Stills, we are con fronted with some simulations of scenes from Hollywood. Just as with any film still, performance is at the heart of the images. Arthur Danto, indeed, attributes their success as being "simultaneously and inseparately photographs and performances." Sherman's photographs are not only photographic records of performances but, inversely, "performative accounts of filmic images." For instance, in Untitled #21 in which a young woman is seen against huge urban buildings, the city is a part of a film scenery, which is there to echo the woman's expression of urban attitude. The outside world similarly establishes for Sherman's characters a unity of place and time and an ambience which defines their individual role. However, these characters, which all come from old B movies and film noir, are pre sented more as types rather than as individuals. "

Abstract
This paper examines some of the stereotypes found in "Uncle Tom's Cabin", with particular focus on the main character of Uncle Tom. The paper argues that the character of Uncle Tom is represented as a stereotype of an old, suffering and obedient servant, faithful to his white masters no matter what, but that there is also a philosophy of resistance in the passivity that he exudes. Furthermore, this paper argues that it is in the depiction of African-American women that many stereotypes can be found. Finally, this paper attempts to answer the following question: do the negative aspects of this novel outweigh its moral message?
From the Paper
"Uncle Tom's Cabin actually consists of two stories told in parallel. It begins with a financial crisis of the Shelby family whom are forced to sell some of their slaves. Eliza, the slave who is a maid in the house overhears this plan, which includes the sale of her child, and escapes with her husband and young son. We follow their long and dangerous escape route that eventually leads them to Canada. Uncle Tom, although he has a family on the plantation, does actually get sold to a family in New Orleans. He is very pious and accepting and soon becomes very faithful to his new owner much like he was to the one who sold him. The family is eventually won over by Uncle Tom and his calm, assuming manner, that both the father and the daughter become ardent supporters of abolishment. "

Abstract
This paper presents a character study of the main characters of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The paper argues that Aunt Chloe, as opposed to Uncle Tom, is the more realistic depiction of a southern slave.
From the Paper
"Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is universally understood to be one of the most important and deeply penetrating books of its time. Published during episodes of the National Era, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is often credited, in part, for the tensions that led to the American Civil War. Stowe wrote the work as a reaction too the Fugitive Slave Act under which it became illegal for anyone to give aid or assistance to a runaway slave."

Abstract
This paper is an in-depth examination of the novel,"Uncle Tom's Cabin." The author gives us some background about Harriet Beecher Stowe and puts the novel into historical context. The paper examines the different characters in the novel and discusses what role they played and what they represented in history. Some of the characters discussed include Uncle Tom, Aunt Chloe, Eliza and family, Shelby's Ophelia and Simon Legree. The author uses these characters to give an authentic depiction of the slaves and the whites, both northerners and southerners, and the challenges that they both faced during this period in American history. The authors uses examples from the novel to illustrate his points as to the accuracy of the novel's portrayal of slavery and during the period prior to the Civil War.
From the Paper
"The value of the partially white slave is touted again with the Eliza character. She is able to speak clearly and in complete sentences. Described as "beautiful [with] black hair as fine as silk in glossy curls- a delicately formed hand and a trim foot" (Stowe p 5). A blush on her cheek is discernible so this is a clue as to her skin tone as well. Stowe must use this character to solicit empathy from the post Civil War reader regarding the fate of her son. If Aunt Chloe and Uncle Tom's children had been the ones to be sold, sympathy would not have been so easily offered. All mothers regardless of their hue were attached to their children. Uncle Tom's cabin is not able to make this argument. It would not have appealed to the wider audience. Much has been discussed about the African characters but what about the Caucasians. Is the rendering accurate?"

Abstract
The following paper looks at two works: "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and the "Communist Manifesto". The way in which religion was used to help maintain power will be discussed with reference to these two works. The fundamental similarities and differences between these two books will be drawn upon.
From the paper:
" Although Uncle Tom?s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe and the Communist Manifesto were written at about the same point in history, they are markedly different books. Although one was a fictional novel and one a philosophical treatise, both works influenced their countries to a greater or lesser degree during a civil war, and surprisingly similar views regarding religion are either expressed or implied in both works. This paper will look at how the two works discuss or reveal how religion was used to help maintain positions of power."

Abstract
The paper investigates the reasons why Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin", was condemned by literary critics, yet embraced by the public. Some of the reasons explored include the issues of racism, politics, the controversial contents of the novel, the fact that a woman wrote it, and religious morals. Several pages are devoted to a debate about whether Uncle Tom's Cabin belongs in the tradition of realism or sentimentalism. The paper also discusses and explains the fact that it was received and critiqued differently in the North and the South.
From the Paper
"At the time of its publication in 1852 Uncle Tom's Cabin, by Harriet Beecher Stowe, received an enormous amount of attention -- both positive and negative. However, despite the negative criticism the book has received, Josephine Donovan, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin: Evil, Affliction, and Redemptive Love, states the novel "remains the world's all-time best-seller. In the first year alone it sold 300,000 copies in the United States and a million in England. As of 1976 it had been translated into fifty-eight languages . . . " (Donovan 11). Although these figures reflect high sales volume, the readership was even more extensive than implied, as it is estimated there were probably "ten readers to every purchaser" (Gossett 165)."

Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin", 2005.
This paper discusses the antithetical Christian aspects of Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, in "Uncle Tom's Cabin", employing the gothic genre as the epitome of evil that slavery can bring, Stowe rewards the bad Christian with a full life and the good Christian with a miserable end. The author points out that Uncle Toms die and those who ignore the Bible, like Cassy, are rewarded; The Christian laws that Stowe urges one to practice are inverted. The paper relates that, while this inversion does seem contrary to her purpose, it is the horror of this scenario that works with her main argument against slavery: Christianity and the keeping of slaves are antithetical.
From the Paper
"Throughout his stay on Legree's plantation, Uncle Tom keeps his faith in God, and his death is the result. Singing a Methodist hymn, Tom is interrupted by his new master who declares on page 384, "I have none o' yer bawling, praying, singing niggers on my place...I'm your church now." Even when threatened for his religious beliefs, Tom doesn't abandon them, constantly turning to his bible for relief from hardship he faces. Later, after a long period of habitual suffering, Tom ponders whether, "it was vain to serve God, that God had forgotten him." In the end, such questioning makes Tom's Christian conviction even more pronounced, for it serves as a catalyst for his spiritual visions."

Abstract
This paper discusses the transformation of the novel "Uncle Tom?s Cabin", by Harriet Beecher Stowe into a cultural icon. It looks at how the creation and recreation of the text by its readers, adapters and its foremost opponents, helped to polarize the abolitionist debate. The paper suggests that the responses to and adaptations of the text of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" provided a means by which the novel assumed a principal role in American culture through various media--the theatre, film, posters, paintings, follow-on writings, essays and press coverage. Finally, the paper suggests that the articulation and reconstruction of the text by its readers brought on a range of social and political meanings and results.

From the Paper
"In what way did this text change the traditional relationship between reader and the novel? The reader became the author, interpreter, director, actor, witness and part and parcel of the story. The story, instead of being about life, became life, and life in turn became its own version of the story. In this context of slavery, religion, melodrama, and family crisis, Uncle Tom?s Cabin can be viewed as a cultural pattern instead of an isolated work. Almost as soon as it was published as a novel, Stowe's story was adapted for the American stage; from 1852 until well into the twentieth century, adaptations of Uncle Tom's Cabin were among the most popular productions that a theater company could stage. Stowe, however, never condoned nor participated in developing the productions, nor did she earn any money from these adaptations."
