Abstract
In this article, the writer presents an examination of a case in which the defendant in the case is found guilty and appeals. The writer notes that the element used for appeal rests in the fact that an undercover officer visited the convicted felon after he was arrested and incarcerated for the charge and the prosecution used conversations that occurred during those visits to help convict the defendant. The writer points out that the undercover officer never identified himself as a cop during the visits and these visits were before the trial. The writer explains that this means that the officer questioned the defendant after arrest and after being represented by an attorney but before the trial, which infringed on the defendant's right to be represented during all questioning.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Once that arrest took place however and Bob was then indicted by the court system and the grand jury Bob was represented by an attorney of record. The law is very clear on the questioning of a person who is represented by an attorney. The issue surrounding the possible appeal of this case is the fact that Art did not at anytime identify himself as a cop during the visits to the jail following the indictment. There may also be some argument and merit to the fact that Art secretly taped the conversations that he had with Bob as in many states the taping of a conversation is illegal unless both parties are aware of the taping, however, there are some states, Tennessee for example, that allow taping if only one party is aware that the taping is occurring. Because the scenario does not discuss the state that this crime took place in it is wise to only argue the merit of Art visiting Bob and in that visit gathering information to use against him at his trial when he did not have an attorney present. At that point the argument is also valid that Art did not identify himself as a police officer thereby violating Bob's right to have counsel present during the visits or to even make the educated decision as to whether or not he wanted Art to visit him."

Introduction
Critical Analysis of Death Penalty Appeals Process
Summary
From the Paper
"The appeals process as related to the appeal of being sentenced to death is a long procedure which takes many years to transverse through. The inherent problem exists in that the government is responsible for feeding, housing, clothing and providing medical care for the individual who is on death row waiting out the appeals process however, that problem is much easier overcome than other problems associated with the death penalty itself. One of these problems is illustrated in the failure of courts to focus attention upon evidence at the time it presented itself but have instead taken the lives of innocent individuals not guilty of the crimes for which they were sentenced to die and then finally put to death."

Abstract
This paper examines how although tragic, the plight of Terri Schiavo provides a valuable case study, and the conflicts and misunderstandings surrounding her situation offer important lessons in medicine, law and ethics. The author reviews the current medical understanding of persistent vegetative state, including the requirements for patient examination, the differential diagnosis, and the practice guidelines of the American Academy of Neurology regarding artificial nutrition and hydration for patients with this diagnosis. Next it examines the legal history including the 2000 trial, the 2002 evidentiary hearing and the subsequent appeals. The author argues that the law did not fail Terri Schiavo, but produced the highest-quality evidence and provided the most judicial review of any end-of-life guardianship case in U.S. history.

From the Paper
"The Schiavo case rests critically on the concept of the persistent vegetative state and the certainty of the prediction that a patient in this state will have no meaningful recovery. The persistent vegetative state is distinguished from several other states of reduced consciousness. Brain death implies the loss of not only all higher brain functions but also all brainstem functions, including pupillary light reflexes, reflex eye movements, respirations, and gag and corneal reflexes. Determination of brain death is straightforward and is generally accepted as a criterion for death. Coma is a complete state of unresponsiveness to stimuli, although the patient may have brainstem reflexes."

Appealing Death Row, 2004.
An explanation of the process of appealing a death row conviction.
1,106 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 6 sources, MLA, AU$ 62.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the process of death row appeals. The paper explains how an inmate on death row has the ability to appeal their case in the U.S. justice system at a number of levels, finally reaching the Supreme Court. The paper includes a number of real-life examples of the appeal process, as well as quotes from lawyers and journalists about the system.
From the Paper
"There are few instances in which the conviction was altered after successive appeals but that only violates the right of the society to make criminals pay for their actions. It is true that in some cases innocent people may be put on death row but for that one appeal should be enough. There is no need to give unlimited appealing right as that would gives some real criminals to plea bargain. Many will get life imprisonment instead of execution even though they deserve to be put to death."

?Appeal to Civil Disobedience?, 2006.
An examination of Henry David Thoreau's "Appeal to Civil Disobedience".
1,325 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 0 sources, AU$ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Henry David Thoreau's "Appeal to Civil Disobedience" has an interesting rhetorical appeal which he uses throughout the essay to achieve a link between himself and his reader core. This paper explains that by using the logic of the times to help his efforts, and by using the three rhetorical appeals - ethos, pathos, and logos - a longing for civil disobedience systematically ruled Thoreau's thought process in a time of racial and ethical tension.
From the Paper
"In reference to his ethos, throughout the essay Thoreau establishes his credibility with his persona and tone. Referencing pathos, Thoreau substantiates his written word through interaction with the audience on an emotional level. Finally, in referencing logos, Thoreau has truly perfected the art of logical appeals, by dropping poetic reference in key passages of the essay throughout, and, of course, by using only his, and no one else's thoughts, as a reference to such highly controvercial topics as abolition and slavery."

David Walker's (abolitionist) Appeal, 2004.
An analysis of David Walker's use of the Bible in his appeal to the American public to abolish slavery.

Abstract
This paper discusses the appeal made by David Walker to the American public not only to abolish slavery, but, once a slave had been freed, to accord that person all the rights the Biblical Joseph was granted by Egypt's Pharaoh when his servitude was completed. More specifically, however, it was directed toward men of color to rise up and take their place in society. The Biblical references of Walker's appeal are examined.
From the Paper
"In pre-Civil War America, it was not unusual for abolitionists and slave-owners alike to use the Bible as justification for their beliefs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was the daughter of a clergyman; surely, the knowledge of the Bible's Old Testament she learned at her father's knee would have informed and even sparked the writing of her impassioned novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin. Two decades before Stowe's 1852 book, David Walker was using the Bible not as the impetus to fiction, but as a direct appeal to the American public not only to abolish slavery, but, once a slave had been freed, to accord that person all the rights the Biblical Joseph was granted by Egypt's Pharaoh when his servitude was completed. More specifically, however, it was directed toward men of color to rise up and take their place in society."

Abstract
This paper explores the popular appeal of tragedy, focusing on Sophocles' "Oedipus Rex" and Shakespeare's "Othello." The paper discusses how audiences equate suffering with a certain heroic quality in man.
From the Paper
"Throughout history tragedies have fascinated audiences despite the persistent pain and suffering of their protagonists. Indeed the appeal of tragedy seems to spring from the very misery and self-destruction to which its characters are subjected, as audiences understand that such suffering corresponds to a certain heroic quality in man. This attitude was held in ancient Greece when Sophocles wrote "Oedipus Rex" and sustained itself through the Elizabethan period when Shakespeare produced "Othello." It is still present today as both Greek and Shakespearean tragedies remain immensely popular with audiences."

"To do so, it began by investing US$100 million a year in Internet research and development and developed its own browser, the Internet Explorer (IE). It then carried out a slew of measures to promote IE as the browser of choice among Internet users. These included the free distribution of the browser software; bundling its browser with the Windows operating system when selling it to PC manufacturers and refusing to offer them the option of purchasing the operating system without the browser; and preventing PC makers from removing IE from the operating system, including the visible means of user access to the IE software, such as the IE icon on the Windows desktop or the IE entry in the "Start" menu."

The Appeal of the Democracy of Goods, 2002.
Applies the 'democracy of goods' advertising concept to three advertisements.

Abstract
The democracy of goods concepts in advertising allows consumers to believe they can be equal to the rich and famous. In his book "Advertising the American Dream", Roland Marchand describes advertising strategies from the 1920s to the 1940s. In making this analysis, Marchand describes the appeal of the democracy of goods as a major concept underlying the advertising of the period. A consideration of this concept in the paper and how it applies to modern advertising, shows that the concept is effective in describing modern advertising strategies. Some minor changes have occurred in response to changes in society. However, on the whole, the concept, including the desires and ideals central to it, have remained the same. The paper examines three advertisements: pop-star Britney Spears drinking Pepsi, 'James Bond' promoting Jaguar Cars and supermodel Cindy Crawford wearing an Omega Watch.
From the Paper
"Celebrity status now has greater meaning. Individuals that inherit fortunes do not appear in a significant amount of advertisements. However, individuals that achieve success, fame and fortune do. Idealized individuals are mostly movie stars, television stars and sports stars and these celebrities are most commonly featured in advertisements. The amount of celebrities that feature in advertisements can be linked to the desire people have to be something better. Since these people have earned their fortunes in some way, this reinforces to consumers that success is achievable. This makes it easier to believe that having the same product as the successful individual will make them successful also. This advertisement with Britney Spears drinking Pepsi as a means of convincing other people to drink Pepsi is based on the same desires and ideals as the 1920's advertisements. Britney Spears is what people want to be and physical possessions are seen as a way of attaining that same success. By buying Pepsi individuals feel that they are equal to Britney Spears."

Abstract
This paper examines the climatic, geographic, cultural, and social attraction of the French Riviera to artists. The paper traces the appeal of the Riviera to artists, beginning with prehistoric times and the rock engravings of that era and concluding in the early 20th century, with a look at the film, "And God Made Women".
From the Paper
"It is not difficult to understand the physical allure, and doubtless that is part of what drew the artists, beginning in earnest with the Impressionists. The Impressionists, it must be noted, were the rebellious artists of their day, the avant-garde. They overthrew the classical expectations of realistic art to, as their collective appellation implies, paint their impressions of things. Most of them were devoted to painting in ?plein air,? or outside. That was, needless to say, more easily accomplished where the air was warm and full of sea breezes so that in winter it was at least possible to be outside in the sun, in spring and fall it was extremely pleasant, and even in midsummer it was not too oppressive."

Abstract
This essay is comparing the masculinity and femininity of two female figures Lara Croft and Barbie, describing the two figurines in detail. The author provides background information how each figure was created and their proposed purposes and how their images change through the years. The differences all touch on the fact that Lara is masculine and Barbie is feminine. The author concludes with decision that present day society finds a masculine female more appealing than a feminine woman.
From the Paper
"Barbie and Lara are both beautiful and have great figures, but Lara still gains the attention. It is Lara?s attitude, the way she is portrayed as a person. Lara has those masculine characteristics that are more appealing in today?s society than a weak, panicky female. Lara Croft can take care of herself. Males are attracted to this because Lara is strong, independent, and beautiful. A woman that does not need protection from a male figure is a wonderful dream for men. Females are attracted to Lara because she can hold her own, she is strong and independent, no help needed from a male partner."
