Abstract
The Chartist Movement came into existence after the breakdown of earlier attempts by the laboring poor to improve their condition. It developed from friendly societies into societies that threw their energies directly into politics, especially parliamentary reform. This paper explains the different issues that led to the 18th century working classes turning to Chartism in an attempt to improve not only their working conditions, but also their standards of living. It looks at the Acts of Parliament passed at this time.
From the Paper
"London was the world of dwindling craft industries. London's craftsmen were the drive of Chartism. Silk handloom weavers were the principal single cluster, but other craftsmen were also engaged in the movement. Under these circumstances, they had nothing in common with the factory hands employed in the North of England. The craftsmen objected to the use of machinery, partly due to a decline of their own trades as a result of industrialisation. The majority of London was not employed within these factory settings, the violent fluctuations in the levels of employment were not the same as they were in the North. So there was not a great mass suffering from hardship at the same time as in the industrial areas."

Outline:
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."

?Appeal to Civil Disobedience?, 2006.
An examination of Henry David Thoreau's "Appeal to Civil Disobedience".

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."

Appealing Death Row, 2004.
An explanation of the process of appealing a death row conviction.

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."

Abstract
The paper examines how Ccartism was perhaps the most significant radical movement of the nineteenth century and how it was created in the aftermath of the great reform act and flourished at a time of political uncertainty across Europe. It looks at how it created a fear of popular insurrection in the governing classes which is unparalleled in modern British history and how it has begat a wealth of historiography, in which the debates and controversies of its nature and origins still remain hotly disputed. In particular, it explores whether chartism could be considered backward-looking in its demands yet, conversley, innovative in its methods. It includes a history of British radicalism and the culture of chartism and a relevant analysis of Victorian society and politics.
From the Paper
"Perhaps the most significant aspect of the working class intellectualism of the movement was the press, which became a cornerstone of the movement. The Chartist leaders firmly believed in the importance of newspapers in the organisations desire to create an educated working class political society. The Northern Star was formed in November 1837, originally to ?stoke the fires of the anti-poor law campaign?#, but fast became the most influential organ of the Chartists. The extent to which Chartism had become a union of the literate working classes was demonstrated by the fact the ?oracle of the movement? the Northern Star sold 60,000 copies a week, and before the Poor Man?s Guardian had sold 16,000 which were estimated to be read by an average of ten people each."

Appeal Case, 2007.
This paper looks at a legal case in which a defendant appeals the verdict after being found guilty.

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."

Chartism and the Radical Mass Platform, 2008.
A discussion of Chartism in 19th century Europe, a force which relied as much upon a burgeoning print culture as it did upon the radical mass platform.

Abstract
This paper examines the importance of both platform and print as instruments from which Chartism, as a movement for political and social reform, derived its forward momentum in the United Kingdom in 19th century. The paper points out that Chartism emphasized, above all, the power of the word and the art of persuasion. The paper also raises the question of whether the movement displayed genuine class consciousness or whether it evinced an older grievance towards the aristocracy. It posits that print and platform were in some ways diametrically opposed to each other. However, it concludes that, ultimately, they were dependent upon one another in that newspapers needed the platform so that they could report on meetings and events, and the platform needed the newspapers to publicise its events.
From the Paper
"What should be pointed out, however, is that unstamped papers alone should not be placed on a par with the platform in creating enthusiasm for the movement. While these might have been important breeding grounds for future Chartist leaders, they hardly reached a wide enough audience to justify the kind of impact the platform had. By the time the Act of 1836 was passed, which not only reduced the duty on newspapers from 4d to 1d per copy, but also heavily penalised unstamped papers, this situation brought to a head a decision for these papers to either become newspapers outright or to stay as they were, in which case sufficient circulation figures had to be maintained to make the enterprise anyway near profitable. But by and large small-scale publications were doomed by the amount of postal charges they had to pay. In fact, the highly-opinionated and individualistic flavour of the articles they tended to contain even helped split the support of working men, sapping the unifying force that the Chartist movement may have had."

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."

Chartism and its Effect on the Class System, 2000.
Paper charting the birth and subsequent demise of Chartism, the movement for political change, in Britain and the political evolution of the laboring poor.

»

Abstract
This paper examines the effect of Chartism on Britain's class system and looks at the changing political aspirations of the laboring poor. It explores the ramifications of the 1832 Reform Act, the Industrial Revolution, the Poor Laws of 1601, classical liberalism and Malthusian influences. It traces the birth of Chartism and its subsequent demise.
From the Paper
"Prior to Chartism, the concept of a ?working class? had not existed. British society could be split into two; the elite and the non-landed classes. The latter group included not only the poor but also the middle classes in the form of professionals such as lawyers, clergy and the military. The Industrial Revolution then swelled the ranks of the middle class with the management level staff of the new northern industries."

Abstract
This paper examines convicts, particularly convicted murders, and their increasingly limited rights to appeal their sentences. Throughout the1990s this right was restricted. It should have been extended as empirical evidence of wrongful convictions and biases demonstrate the shortcomings of the current system.

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."

Abstract
The political structure of nineteenth century Britain is explored with the backdrop of Chartism. This movement is examined for its effectiveness in achieving the change it desired. The aims and objectives are discussed - the working and social conditions of the lower classes focusing on the miners and factory workers.
From the Paper
"The immediate impact of Chartism was the emergence of a movement by radicals and the working class to improve and change the political system, because they wanted to their economic, living and political aspirations. The Reform Act 1832 had failed to satisfy the working class, hope had been given that political reform would bring good changes for all. Unfortunately the working classes were not given the vote, it was merely extended to the middle class who could now have a say in the election of MPs and parliamentary seats distributed more evenly. Because the working class didn?t own properties to the value of ?10 (this was the requirement for men to vote), they were still alienated from the political system."

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."

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

Click here to show/hide summary
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."

From the Paper
"Chartism was one of the most important political reform movement in Great Britain in the first half of the 19th century. Indeed, this populist and popular movement came nearer to being a mass rebellion than another British movement in modern times. Working people from across Wales, Scotland and England demonstrated in support of both the political and social elements of this program.
Chartists drew upon both traditional forms of social protest organization and developed new ways of having their voice heard publishing newspapers, pamphlets, broadsides. Chartist songs and hymns were sung, Chartist sermons preached and attended to, Chartist plays produced and pageants performed as what might now be called a entire political and social counter-culture was created and reveled in. Chartists took advantage of newly licit forms ..."
