From the Paper
"This paper will explore the relationship between television advertising and political campaigns. Television is an important factor in politics because the medium of television is itself very important in contemporary society. From its modest beginnings in the 1940s, television became increasingly popular among the American people during the 1950s and 1960s. In 1946, there were only seven thousand television sets in American homes; by 1960, "the number of homes with sets had reached forty-five million" (Salmore & Salmore, 1989, pp. 42-43). The number of homes with TV sets has continued to grow, and today "home reception of television communications has become a nearly universal feature of our society" (Cundy, 1990, p. 41).
There is widespread agreement in the literature that television advertising is essential to a successful political ..."

Abstract
This paper argues that it is erroneous to state that the political economy of television sets what viewers see. The paper explains what political economy is and how this concept impacts society. The writer argues that while the political economy of a certain network may limit the choices offered to its viewers, the medium is so vast that choices are practically limitless and offerings to viewers are practically unlimited.
From the Paper
"Although the term "political economy" has become almost synonymous with Marx, it is actually an idea that predates both Marx and all mediums of modern communication except for the printed word. Jean Jacque Rousseau attempted to explain the term as early as 1755. According to him, in order to accomplish the general will of society, it is necessary to bring all individual wills in conformity with the general will. "As virtue is nothing more than this conformity of the particular wills with the general will" (Rousseau), such conformity will "establish the reign of virtue" (Rousseau)."

From the Paper
" Introduction
The consumption of television proves an interesting topic, primarily due to the tremendous amount of this media that is routinely viewed on a daily basis by the vast majority of members of society and, secondarily, for the potential influence this behavior affords viewership. Mongtomery (1989, fly leaf) reports that Television is the most powerful storyteller of our time. The stories it tells - and, equally important, the stories it fails to tell - have a marked impact on how viewers see the world around them. It is this power that has transformed prime time TV into a critical arena of political struggle.
The study of the influence of television news consumption on..."

Abstract
This research paper discusses how, why and when TV caught on with the political world, and why people choose the media as an alternative source of information to politics. The author also talks about a few infamous TV ads and debates that set a precedent in American politics and examines the ongoing debate over negative political advertising.
From the Paper
"Since the inception of free media back in the very first days of our country, politicians quickly learned that they would need to learn on how to use the media to their advantage. When major newspaper companies surfaced in every major city, politicians realized that they would have to place advertisements in all of the major newspapers to be a serious candidate in an election. Newspapers were the first dominant source of political advertisements. After newspapers, radio took over as the dominant source, and finally TV. Radio caught on quick, but it was not as effective as TV soon proved to be."

Abstract
This paper looks at how Balzac used his works to express his views regarding French social life, particularly in relation to families. The paper examines "Cousin Bette", "Father Goriat", and "Lost Illusions". By using these sources, the paper demonstrates Balzac's belief that modern society, with its greed, corruption, and temptation, threatened the basic family structure, making families into monetary units of far less importance than they had been in previous days.
From the Paper
"In Cousin Bette (Balzac, 1991), the main character, Lisbeth "Bette" Fischer, is a homely, middle-aged spinster who has lived her whole life in envy of her pretty cousin Adeline, who is married to Baron Hector Hulot DErvy, a prestigious military and government official who does not make a lot of money and is a complete womanizer. Hector has a slew of mistresses, despite his wife?s loyalty and devotion to him. Their daughter, Hortense, develops a crush on Bette?s "boyfriend," Wenceslas Steinbock, a young Polish sculptor, and marries him, convinced that his dreams of becoming a rich artist will someday come true. Bette, still wounded by her years as the homely cousin, decides that the Hulot family has upstaged her too many times and concocts an elaborate revenge scheme."

Abstract
The paper discusses Aristotle's view of Spartan women, that they constituted a formidable challenge to the patriarchal ideal. Aristotle expressed two main objections to Sparta: the city's failure to curtail women's freedom and to regulate women's ownership of private property. The paper further discusses how Sparta, in his view, represented a failure because it did not conform to his hierarchy of gender relations. The paper explores other sources that provide an image of Spartan women, which illustrates not just their equality with men in all domains, but their superiority over men as well.

Abstract
The political concept of "Orientalism" is discussed in this essay, and is examined in connection to historical contexts of 19th century Europe. This essay considers how "Orientalism" enables white Europeans to perceive themselves racially and culturally superior, and to render Asian and Middle-Eastern cultures as exotic, and as a commodity that can be consumed. The ideal of exotic Asians persists today in the form of the Asian sex-trades, and in this essay the role of sex, sexuality, and difference is critically analysed in relation to theory-work by Edward Said, and other cultural critics.

From the Paper
"The media in the time of the writing of the Constitution was a much smaller and more timid institution. Today, the media has become dominated by the electronic media, and especially by television, which has become powerful in ways not envisioned by the Founding Fathers. Television has become the conduit of choice for political candidates, and this has altered the style of the political debate, leading to the sound-bites and attack ads that have been so criticized in recent years. Television did not set out to shape the political debate and did not intend to cheapen that debate as seems to have occurred. It might be argued that the media lacks power because it does not seem to be in control of the capabilities it wields, but those capabilities are themselves considerable and have had a massive influence on how Americans conduct themselves in elections and between..."

Religious Views of the Holocaust, 2002.
This paper discusses the religious views of Christianity, Islam and Buddhism on the Holocaust.
725 words (approx. 2.9 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 25.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism views of the Holocaust which the author points out affected not only the Jews but also many other groups of people. The author states that many Nazi activities were sadistic torment which Christianity views as sinful; Islam does not condone torture and Buddhism vehemently opposes. The author believes that of the three religions, the reaction of Christians in Germany may be the most troublesome.
From the Paper
"Given that the Holocaust was a multicultural and multi-religious event, it is interesting to consider how some major religions might view the events. Christianity teaches that all murder is against the law of God. However, most Christian religions allow the execution of criminals by state governments. This is why we have individuals who protest executions but rarely hear about entire denominations protesting such events. So then, would Christian religions condone the events of the Holocaust because it was an event sponsored by the German government?"

Emile Durkheim's and Karl Marx's Views of Religion, 2006.
This paper shall examine the views of both Emile Durkheim and Karl Marx as they pertain to religion.

Abstract
Religion plays a key role in the works of both Emile Durkheim and Karl Marx and a close look at their respective views on religion are therefore very important. With that in mind, this paper argues that, while both Durkheim and Marx are not strong advocates of religion, Marx is especially sharp in his denunciation. In particular, whereas Durkheim does see some salutary effects associated with religious practice - such as the promotion of social solidarity as well as a collective moral code - Marx views religion as being basically an appendage of the capitalist establishment. More than that, Marx's vision of both religion and of capitalism is so unflattering that he compares the former to an ancient Near Eastern religious sect which favored the sacrifice of children to an obscure deity.

Thomas Jefferson's Racist Views, 2006.

Abstract
The paper introduces the background context of the work, which was written in 1780 when Jefferson was governor of Virginia, to a Frenchman asking for information about the new nation. The paper cites the work to contrast Jefferson's views of Indians and of Blacks. It argues that Jefferson defended Native Americans precisely because they were native to America and did not want them to be used as an example to deprecate the continent. The paper argues that, in comparison, he denigrated African-Americans because he was trying to justify his proposal of staged emancipation. In conclusion, the writer finds that Jefferson's views were neither hypocritical or contradictory, but were driven from his same vision of the white man having the responsibility to affect the emancipation.
From the Paper
"Though visionary in many aspects, there is considerable evidence that Thomas Jefferson never foresaw the future of America as a racial and cultural "melting pot". Indeed, he makes a substantial argument against further emigration of foreigners to the New World. ... The Jeffersonian vision of America given here seems somewhat in keeping with the Puritanical, Eden-like view, in that it should fall upon the new Adams to populate the new world that had been created for them. Jefferson saw "foreigners" as a source of interference; thereby, a potential threat to peaceful governance of a nation."
