Abstract
Through an examination of facts and details of the case of Weedsville vs. Ruffner, this paper attempts to determine whether a writ for suppression of evidence should be approved.
From the Paper
"The local police were informed by a local citizen that Anna Ruffner had marijuana plants on her property. The local police went directly to Anna Ruffner's property to check on this information. They did not stop to request a warrant from a local judge. When they entered the defendant's property they discovered marijuana plants in a greenhouse that was covered with plastic. They seized the plants and arrested the defendant. It also appears that no attempt was made to obtain a post-search warrant."

Abstract
This paper traces the theme of the suppression of women in Iran throughout three separate works, which include Sadeq Hedayat's "Abji Khanom," as well as Sadeq Chubak's "The Wooden Horse" and "The Gravediggers." The paper shows how literature from Iran discusses socio-political issues present at the time, in this case the suppression of women.
From the Paper
"Persian literature from the twentieth century is known for its reflection of the times during which the authors lived. Recurring themes cited in the fictional short stories from this time can be divided into two main categories ? social and political concerns. A number of themes and stories must be discussed in order to reveal the dynamics of the socio-political change in Iran at the time. It can be seen by examining just three of these short stories that the main social concern involves the suppression of women in Iran during that time period. In addition, the stories also demonstrate the idea that many of the female characters in these short stories take refuge in religion in order to forget reality."

Suppression in Literature, 2005.
A comparative analysis of the importance suppression and the unspoken important in William Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and Brian Friel's "Translations".

Abstract
This paper examines how the types of suppression that dominate both "The Tempest" and "Translations" fall into three categories. It looks at how there is the political suppression exercised by authority figures, the personal or parental suppression of father figures and finally, the pedagogical suppression inflicted upon a range of students by teachers.
From the Paper
"Pedagogical suppression is also evident in both of these texts. Throughout their time on the island, Prospero has acted as a teacher for both Miranda and Caliban and has been responsible for attempting to nurture aspects of their intellectual and moral development, to varying degrees of success. Caliban has been and continues to be a particularly recalcitrant student. He is resentful of the 'gift' of language that Prospero and Miranda have bestowed upon him, arguing that it is only useful because it enables him to 'curse' them both. Moreover, he has remained impervious to Prospero's attempts to instil a sense of decency into him and even attempted to rape Miranda. It is for this reason that Prospero continues to enslave the monster and to teach him a lesson in another sense by torturing him for his misdemeanours."

Abstract
This paper looks at the politics of memory and the politicization of memory, with particular reference to Chile and the human rights violations inflicted upon the population by the Pinochet regime. The writer believes that the horrific events in Chile's past led to the suppression of memory in an effort to block out and not re-live the horrors. Moreover, the writer explains that the government and leadership of Chile have also chosen a path of memory-loss in order to move on rather than dwell on the ill past of its nation.
From the Paper
"Let us talk more about the ?pact of silence? entered into by the political left of Chile, in terms of guilt. Many on the political left, who governed during the difficult years of transition, from 1970-1972, when there were strikes, and demonstrations, which led to infighting and mistakes being made within the party (the UP, Popular Unity party); many, consequently, feel that had the decisions that led to this situation not been taken, or had the actions been rectified at that point, then none of what followed would have happened (Hite, 2003b). The traumatic events of 1973 would thus lead to feelings of powerlessness, especially as they feel that, in some way, the events were their fault, as they had not recognized the path to the events that would follow, and changed course, as it were."

Soviet Suppression: A Personal Account, 2007.
This paper analyzes "Professor Marten's Departure" by Jaan Kross.
1,674 words (approx. 6.7 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 54.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper illustrates how the novel depicts the time the author spent in the Russian gulag between 1946 and 1954. The paper highlights the various themes underlying the book. The paper explores how Kross succeeded in capturing the essence of his time and life experience by creating a novel that is both psychological, betraying an introspective nature as well as historical, depicting events under Soviet rule. The paper portrays how the novel offers an in depth analysis of the inner situation of the main character, Professor Martens, and also highlights events that took place in European history at the beginning of the century.
From the Paper
"His depiction of the events reflects the 1905 Russian revolution which triggered the latent Estonian aspiration for independence. Yet, in the same manner that the novel is of historical value, it is a psychological perspective; therefore, the author himself places Martens on a quest for his own personal inward analysis. He thus comes to an unhappy conclusion that he has been an obedient servant of a regime that would not hesitate to trample over him in the same manner as it did with other of its subjects. It is here that a certain identity crisis is triggered by the author in order to motivate a moral analysis of the diplomat's activity in the service of the empire."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Sandra P. Thomas' 1997 article, "Women's Anger: Relationship of Suppression to Blood Pressure" which looks at the effect of anger suppression on blood pressure in women. The paper shows that the aim of the study in this article was to examine the relationship between anger frequency, intensity and suppression to blood pressure and to see if there were differences in these parameters between women with respect to age, family history of hypertension and marital status.
From the Paper
"While the effect of anger on women's BP is important, there are so many variables involved, both physical and psychological, that a meaningful study is difficult to conduct. Sample chosen, timing of study, method of assessing anger and anger suppression, measurements of BP and their timing, and a host of health and psychological factors come into play and it is impossible to account for all variables (Fontana, Pontari and Nash, 1998, p. 2). The "white coat effect" on BP may come into play in a test setting. Results of these types of studies are difficult to assess accurately, and they can do no more than indicate some potential problem areas."

Conflict Resolution, 2005.
This paper discusses conflict resolution techniques, focusing on suppression, a technique sometimes applied in extreme forms of conflict.

Abstract
This paper explains that, because conflict has become endemic throughout the world, the processes and techniques of conflict resolution are becoming increasingly important in dealing with these conflicts. The author points out that suppression as a conflict resolution technique is not an adequate resolution procedure because, by definition, it suppresses or denies the causes of conflict and therefore allows the cause of the conflict to continue and possibly worsen. The paper relates that it is wrong to think of conflict resolution as an attempt to end finally all conflict because conflict is a part of society and social growth and the emphasis should be on transforming and transmuting conflict into a positive direction.
From the Paper
"A good example of use of suppression, as a means of resolving or dealing with conflict, was the South African situation during the years of Apartheid. The System of Apartheid or separate development in the country divided the people along racial lines and denied equality to the black and colored population. This disparity resulted in an extreme conflict situation. The mechanism used by the authorities to deal with this conflict was suppression through detentions and the use of force. This included the "suppression of peaceful mechanisms of organized protest". However, this method of suppression did not succeed in resolving the conflict but only created further dissention within the country which eventually resulted in riots and a near civil war."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the relationship between immunobiology and HIV. It analyzes the research in an attempt to understand the mechanisms involved in HIV infection and in the operation of various related biological effects. The paper then addresses the role of the chemokine MIP-1 beta, among others, in T cell mediated suppression of HIV replication.
From the Paper
"Patke, Green, and Shearer examine the role of beta-chemokines and their chemokine receptor on HIV B lymphocyte function. To test this interaction, the researchers used highly purified normal human B cells from seronegative donors, isolating them by adherence to CD19-coated beads. They then treated IL-4 plus anti-CD40-activated B cells with recombinant gp120 (10 ng/ml) before exposure to beta chemokines or receptor. At that stage, cyclic nucleotide generation was assessed at six hr, DNA synthesis at day threem and IgM production on day seven. Also, cell surface marker expression was determined by flow cytometric analysis using the Coulter EPICS-XL. What the researchers found was that there ia a role for MIP-1 beta and RANTES on the early B cell events of proliferation, cyclic nucleotide generation, and cell surface marker receptor modulation in opposition to the beta chemokine receptor, CCR5. the researchers also note that the ability to regulate early B cell events might be a targeted area in the development of novel designer molecule therapeutic approaches to AIDS, though further research is needed finally to demonstrate this possibility."

"One Hundred Years of Solitude", 2006.
Examines violence, history and suppression of memory as metaphors in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude."

Abstract
Colombian novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez's fantastical masterpiece of magic realism, "One Hundred Years of Solitude" (1967), chronicles the long, colorful, violent, repetitive and ultimately tragic history of the Buendia family of the mythical town of Macondo, an imaginary locale apparently based on Garcia Marquez's own small home town of Aracataca, Colombia. This paper suggests ways in which violence and suppression of memory within the story serve to create future cycles of violence (and future loss of memory), thereby symbolically illustrating the maxim that those (like the Buendias) who forget history shall be doomed to repeat it. The paper also suggests that the novel in many ways parallels the history of the Latin American nation of Colombia itself, and, in a broader sense, of all Latin American nations, especially in the sense of the modern domination of them by outside forces.
From the Paper
"One Hundred Years of Solitude is a tale of groups, communities, and nations: that is, a collective, rather than an individual, story and metaphor. Toward that end and in that respect, this novel is not written, as are most North American and European novels, from a perspective of just one narrator, or "hero", but rather, from the perspectives of multiple individuals having the same experience, a sort of amalgamated, chorus of generations, in which significances are determined not individually and personally, but collectively and through comparison and consensus."

Suppression versus intervention
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Suppression been successful tool in preventing gangs and drug crimes on the street, but it has been used behind prison walls with much fanfare. The suppression strategies used in prison include the separation and isolation of gang members and leaders and prison lockdowns (Kawachu, Marquart, & Trulson, 2006). In 110 Texas prisons from 1990 to 1999, out of 39,237 incidents of inmate on inmate violence, only 1,136 were gang related, averaging "less than three gang-related incidents per prison unit, per year.

Chemical Inhibitor of p53: Against the Side-Effects of Cancer Therapy, 2002.
This paper looks at a study conducted on mice which shows that the suppression of p53, done in conjunction with cancer therapy, may give patients some relief from unpleasant side-effects.

Abstract
The paper suggests that while the chemical inhibitor of p53 is suppressed, at the same time this treatment can allow for appropriate treatment to destroy p53-deficient cancer cells in a patient. The paper gives the chemical explanation for how the results were found in mice. The writer concludes with a discussion of the importance of this research for the future of cancer patients undergoing the intense treatment to fight the spread of the disease.
From the Paper
"The p53 inhibitor had almost no protective effect if it was added up to 18 hours prior to, and removed immediately before, irradiation. A short, 3-hour treatment with PFT-alpha after irradiation had a pronounced protective effect on the cells, and a 24-hour incubation gave maximal protection. If PFT-alpha was added 3 hours after irradiation, it was not able to rescue the cells from radiation-induced damage. This suggests that ultraviolet radiation-induced apoptosis is significantly reduced within several hours, and completely eradicated within 24 hours of irradiation by PFT-alpha."

The Importance of a Woman's Voice, 2005.
This paper explores the suppression of women writers in history.
2,250 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 2 sources, $ 89.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how there have been many reasons for the lack of voice of women in history. The paper explains that the most common of them, that women were seen as lacking somehow in intelligence in comparison to men, has been with us for many generations. Women's words have also been suppressed due to religious tenets, societal norms and the belief that the act of writing text is outside the realm of acceptable for their sex. The paper discusses how despite all of the oppression they have faced, women have found a way to write to express their voices.
From the Paper
"Name a famous woman author and it is very likely that she was not given much credibility in her own time. For generations, women's writings were treated with amused tolerance by their families, particularly their fathers and husbands. Women writers were forced to hide behind men's names, either by submitting their work through men willing to assist them or by using a male pseudonym. Some women, convinced that no one would ever be interested in their work, wrote on scraps of paper and hid their words in drawers. Never mind a room of their own; throughout history women have not always been given the opportunity to have a voice of their own. There have been many reasons for this lack of voice. The most common of them, that women are lacking somehow in intelligence in comparison to men, has been with us for many generations."

Psychoanalysis in "Wieland", 2005.
Examines themes of moral suppression, social norms, and the human mind in the novel, ?Wieland? by Charles Brockden Brown.

Abstract
Freudian psychology was already evident in the literary work of Charles Brown, author of the novel, ?Wieland,? written in 1798 In this novel, Brown wants his readers to contemplate the degree of understanding that society has about morality, ethics (what is right or wrong), and justice. This paper discusses how deviation from the moral standards of the society is characterized through the characters of both Clara and Theodore Wieland; only, Clara has a firmer tolerance for and hold over the standards of morality imposed on the society than Theodore, which explains why, towards the end of the novel, he succumbs to his own desire to let go of his suppressed feelings, eventually resulting in the murder of his family. In effect, ?Wieland? addresses how the moral fiber of society is weakened if the individual is not able to conform or tolerate the norms established for people; it is only by expressing intolerance that morality regains its strength, and stability in society is restored.
From the Paper
"In the author?s introduction of the novel, he shares his own thoughts about the inspiration that made him create the novel. Sub-titled as ?the transformation,? ?Wieland? already gives the reader an idea of the main thrust of the novel?that is, it deviates from stereotyped depictions of a stable and moral society. Instead, what the readers will witness is the life of the Wielands, whose ?transformation? is meant to ?awaken? readers about people who subsisted instead to their individual choices. In this section, Brown states, ?It is hoped that intelligent readers will not disapprove of the manner in which appearances are solved, but that the solution will be found to correspond with the known principles of human nature.?"
