Abstract
This paper discusses that, while it is one thing to feel sympathy for Othello, the protagonist in Shakespeare's play, "Othello", it is another thing to forgive him for his anger and other bad behavior. It shows how Othello proves himself to be a man that acts spontaneously in addition to acting irrationally when it comes to matters of the heart.
From the Paper
"This question tells Iago that Othello respects his opinion. In addition, Othello allows himself to be influenced by Iago when Iago warns him, "O, beware, my lord of jealousy!/It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock/The meat it feeds on" (III.iii.166-9). Iago knows that there is no reason for Othello to be jealous and Othello should know better but he does not. It is unforgivable that Othello allows Iago to have so much influence when it comes to matters of his intimate life with Desdemona."

The Spanish Inquisition in Latin America.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Spanish Inquisition of Latin America had become such a strong facet of Spanish and Latin culture that, by the late 16th century, it served to enforce social norms, as well as religious orthodoxy; nevertheless, the fundamental nature of the Inquisition remained unchanged from its Spanish origins. The author points out that the functional nature of the Spanish Inquisition, with its reliance on hearsay and the brutal sentences it dealt, made it a vehicle for slander, pain, and murder. The paper reveals that, contrary to the theme of the Inquisition condemning individuals who would today be considered innocent, or at least free of any legal entanglements, sometimes cases absolved individuals who were guilty of what today would constitute unforgivable crimes.
From the Paper
"Marina's case is an illustrative one, because not only the nature of her heresy is reasonably rare, but also that her initial confessions illustrate what the most prevalent social taboos in Latin American colonial society were. On the day of her sixth confession, Marina admits, "She has been condemned to hell, because for fifteen years she has had a sensual temptation to the flesh, which makes her perform dishonest acts with her own hands on her shameful parts." The use of language in this passage is particularly revealing in that certain portions of the human body are associated with a feeling of shame, and that their temptation, inevitably leads to the devil and eternal damnation."

"The Scarlet Letter", 2005.
This paper discusses Nathaniel Hawthorne's treatment of sin and guilt in "The Scarlet Letter".

Abstract
This paper explains that the lasting greatness of "The Scarlet Letter" relates to the remarkable way Hawthorne manages to evoke emotional sympathy for the heroine even when he is condemning her actions. The author analyzes the sins committed by the novel's two major characters and the novel's treatment of each of them: The minister Arthur Dimmesdale and the mother of Dimmesdale's child, Hester Prynne. The paper stresses that the greatest pain, which Hester Prynne suffers as a result of her previous sin and guilt, is neither her own ostracism from the community nor the cruel scorn of its judgmental and unforgiving members but rather the repeated reminders she must face of how her innocent daughter Pearl is hurt because of the past sins of her mother and father.
From the Paper
"From the opening of "The Scarlet Letter", when Hester Prynne stands alone on a scaffold, condemned for the sin of adultery, with the unidentified father of her child, by the Salem community, until the end when she stands with Arthur and Pearl on that same scaffold, Hester is a remarkably strong character. Unlike Arthur Dimmesdale, her partner in sin, who appears strong initially but is progressively weakened by his overwhelming feelings of guilt and sinfulness throughout the story, Hester grows stronger, despite her own sin and guilt, as the story progresses."

"My Left Foot", 2005.
Argues that the movie, "My Left Foot", is not a progressive representation of disability.

Abstract
The movie, "My Left Foot", stars Daniel Day Lewis as the real life Irish cerebral palsy survivor, Christy Brown. Greatly encouraged by his mother, he becomes a noted painted and author. The paper shows how the movie uses Christy's life to bring across the message that even the disabled can succeed in a competitive and often unforgiving society; however, the movie's perspective comes across as idealistic and unattainable. The paper argues that the movie fails to address the fact that not all disabled persons have such special talents as Christy and therefore does not represent the disabled sector of the community correctly.
From the Paper
"The other progressive aspect that we have to study from the movie is society. In the movie, society does not reject Christy because of his disability. In real life this factor is rare because the harsh reality is that people will discriminate. During Christy's childhood, the children really enjoyed playing with him, expressing no misgivings, as children might, about playing with a disabled child. The children in the movie never ask or express any curiosity, in regards to Christy's handicap. It's almost as if the producers of this movie try to sugar-wash this aspect in order to convince the audience that society has no problem with the disabled."

Abstract
The paper discusses the Eskimo culture in the maritime regions of Greenland and emphasizes the survival tactics and lifestyles these people have had to face due the inhospitable cold and unforgiving terrain.The paper also states that today Eskimo culture is defined by a set of environmental and political conditions and issues pertaining to oil drilling, marine harvesting and global warming have directly impacted the way of life for those closely tied to the land. The paper also emphasis that due to modern conveniences and the changing landscape Aboriginal groups are finding subsistence much more difficult.
From the Paper
"Other families would find a more nomadic approach to land orientation would bear greater survival odds and would thus develop in this more mobile tradition. Quite indeed, there would be a premium on food availability and the relative threat of temperate shifts, both of which could have a serious impact on those making their homes in this environment. Thus, it cannot be said that there was necessarily a cultural proclivity amongst earlier Inupiat toward either sedentary or nomadic organization. That for which the environment called is that which would be done. For the stationary family, an unexpected weather event could alter food availability in a long-inhabited area, demanded relocation."

Andrew Jackson: A Man of The People, 2001.
A discussion of the popularity and public appeal of Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the U.S.
878 words (approx. 3.5 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 31.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how Andrew Jackson was well-loved by the American people. His popularity could be attributed to the fact that he was a common man, and Americans felt that they could relate to him. Jackson enjoyed a landslide election despite a smear campaign by his opponent John Quincy Adams and his image was strengthened by his struggle against the Bank of America and the Indian Removal issue. He was an ordinary man who had a blunt, unforgiving manner to him and was adored by most throughout his entire term in office.
From the Paper
"To demonstrate Jackson?s public approval rate, one could take a look at the Presidential Election of 1828. Historians have stated that this election was more of an exercise in slander rather than a debate on public issues, and John Quincy Adams, Jackson?s opponent, did, in fact, execute an intense smear campaign. Adams? forces attacked Jackson?s character, reminding voters of Jackson?s duels, tavern brawls, and execution of militiamen during the Creek War. They also criticized Jackson?s marriage to Rachel Donelson, calling the marriage itself an ?abduction? and claiming that Jackson had ?torn from a husband the wife of his bosom?. After Adams? campaign, one might think that Jackson?s public reputation would be severely damaged, and that his public support would drop."

Abstract
This paper examines how, in Janet Lewis's "The Wife of Martin Guerre", the character of Martin possesses a cold and unforgiving nature and how his cruelty is evident in the pain he causes his wife, Bertrande, in both his absence and his presence.
From the Paper
"Martin's presence is commonly regarded as a blessed time in Bertrand's tortured existence, with the vivid descriptions of there happiness together, "she kissed him on both cheeks feeling the warmth of the sun upon his flesh", overpowering the earlier descriptions of Martin's cruelty towards Bertrande, the displays of his cruel nature; "he cuffed Bertrande soundly upon the ears". The beautiful imagery used to describe the village of Artigues and the later happiness of Martin and Bertrande causes the reader to forget the coldness of Martin towards Bertrande earlier in the book, his first signs of affection towards his wife do not occur until she earnestly defends his rebellious acts against his father, then becoming his only confidant."

The paper examines the marine corporate culture in the United States.
754 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines corporate culture and uses the United States Marines as an example of this. Three works are cited: Marion F. Sturkey's "Warrior Culture of the U.S. Marines", Sgt. James Covington's "Suits to BOOTS: Marines teach Corps' values to business students" and "Corps Values". Sturkey explains that the marine's character is defined by three constant "Corps Values", honor courage, and commitment. The paper defines these values and also explains the the "Code of Conduct" of 1955. Covington discusses how the marines handle leadership challenges in a stressful environment and how this knowledge can be applied in the business world. The paper concludes that the marine's commitment to decentralized management and bottom-up thinking has evolved due to high risk, high speed and, high focus assaults which tend to be unforgiving on bureaucratic or autocratic management styles.
From the Paper
"Honor requires the ultimate standard in ethical and moral conduct, and a Marine must never lie, cheat, or steal, must adhere to a code of personal integrity and be accountable for his actions, and above all, must never sully the reputation of his Corps (Sturkey pp). Courage is honor in action, moral strength, heeding the inner voice of conscience and doing what is right in spite of adverse consequences (Sturkey pp). Commitment is total dedication to Corps and Country, and is a combination of selfless determination and relentless dedication to excellence (Sturkey pp). And once a Marine, always a Marine, for there is no such thing as an ex-Marine or former-Marine, only reserve, retired or veteran Marines (Sturkey pp). These three Corps Values make up the bedrock of each individual Marine's character, and are the foundation of the Corps itself (Sturkey pp). These values have been handed down from generation to generation and are the reason why the U.S. Marines are the most respected and revered fighting force on earth (Sturkey pp)."

Psychoanalysis of Lady Macbeth, 2002.

Abstract
A paper which focuses on the psychological aspects of dreams and psychoanalysis in order to make sense of Lady Macbeth's actions. The author of this paper examines how Lady Macbeth turns from a single-minded, ambitious, unforgiving murderer to a guilty, sleepwalking, absent-minded mess. The author delves into instances from the text that suggest what Lady Macbeth was going through at the time and shows how, psychologically, Sigmund Freud?s theory of psychoanalysis would be suited best to find the reasoning behind Lady Macbeth?s metamorphosis.
From the Paper
"In order to make any headway into this subject, an overview of Freud?s psychoanalytical theory is needed. Psychoanalysis is a theory that derives on the idea that the unconscious mind is driven by the sexual urges and primal instinct of man (Quigley 2). One of the most significant points in this theory is the idea that our inborn desires are governed by three separate entities designated as the Id, the Ego, and the Superego (Quigley 3). The Id is the part of the unconscious mind that contains the sexual, instinctive urges of man (Quigley 3). The Superego is the unconscious purveyor of the internalized rules of society; better known as the cautious part of the mind (Quigley 3). The Ego, on the other hand, is the medium between the Id and the Superego; the Ego takes the primal urge under advisement, brings the Superego into the equation, and comes to an eventual compromise between the two (Quigley 3)."

Abstract
Used, abused, and confused by the grinding, unforgiving machinery of celebrity, the aging TV child actor, from Ricky Nelson to Brandon Cruz, from Patty Duke to Dana Plato, has always been more susceptible to the "crash-and-burn" than your average, not-so-cute-and-cuddly-anymore youngster. But what about Gary Coleman? What is he supposed to do? Disappear? And there it is: The Gary Coleman Paradox, the Former Child Star Dilemma. When their time is up, when their shows are canceled, we want them to go away. But they can't. Reruns assure otherwise; our TV-burned memories assure otherwise. We don't need to see another second of another "Diff'rent Strokes" to know that Gary Coleman is pint-size Arnold Jackson Drummond from Harlem. Now and forever. He can't go away. They can't go away. And, for that, we make them pay. If it was impossible for the TV kids of the 1950s and '60s to know the traps that lay ahead, it was impossible for the TV kids who followed them not to know.
