Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the ideas of the 1950s of three separate architects by looking at their different views of modernism. The architects are Robert Venturi, Peter Eisenman, and Rem Koolhaas. Modernist, Post-Modernist, and Pre-Modernist concepts are examined, and the works and ideas of the architects are described in depth.
From the Paper
"In the 1950?s many architects were struggling for expression of Modern Architecture. Robert Venturi, Peter Eisenman, and Rem Koolhaas are three architects who each had different views in regards to Modern Architecture. Robert Venturi had a post-modern approach and believed in complexity and contradiction to create a new architecture. Peter Eisenman had a modern approach and used axonometric drawings and models to better represent architecture. Rem Koolhaas had a modern, pre-modern, and post-modern approach and looked at the problem of large. These three architects expressed their relationship to Modern Architecture differently."

Abstract
The paper argues that schools, by their very nature, must encourage free inquiry and free expression of ideas. Oral expression is needed as a learning mechanism, as well as a psychological outlet. The paper argues that schools, both public and private, should provide opportunities for students and teachers to express themselves orally, with the understanding that measures of protection are in place which will allow for this expression.
From the Paper
"In many communities around the country, however, school administrators and librarians are under heavy pressure from religious and other groups to censor what students read and study. Teachers are becoming self-censoring in the selection process, making every effort to make "safe" book choices. These practices aren't eliminating the problem, they're only amplifying it . Educators cannot, for the sake of the students, allow themselves to be pressured into diluting their curriculum into superficial facts."

Documentary Expression, 2001.
This paper studies documentary expression and its cultural and governmental influences.

Abstract
This paper discusses documentaries as a form of expression which were introduced in the New Deal era and the Depression era. These were times when the nation needed hope and needed to understand the tragedy and stress they were going through. Documentaries were also a mode of transcribing history and revealing realistic the situation to gain a future understanding of the time. The documentary mode of expression was as much for the people as it was for the government. This paper studies this matter in-depth and concludes that the documentaries and history at the time were stated clearly from the governmental point of view.
From the Paper
"When we view the media forms of the times we realize the strength the people had in that era. As the generation of the future we realize that while the generation of the past was termed as the ?Greatest generation? it can also be called and at times is termed as the ?Lost Generation.? Today, the youth are shown as disgruntled and violent but though the nationalism prominent in the past may overshadow the turbulence, the fact remains that a thorough analysis of the documentaries will show that the past too had its share of problems. It is said that the media of every era will portray the society and culture of its times. A study of the 1930s media reports shows that the Depression era was not as 'great' for the people living in it. ''(A) generation, numbering in the millions, has gone so far in decay that it acts without thought of social responsibility,'' historians George Leighton and Richard Hellman proclaimed in a much-quoted Harper' s Monthly article in 1936. ''High-school kids are armed, out for what they can get . . . . The Lost Generation is even now rotting before our eyes.'' In 1935, Columbia University President Nicholas Butler summed up the grave ''youth problem'': ''Day by day the newspapers report one grave crime after another, one moral delinquency after another, and one dereliction of duty after another.''

Mill and the Freedom of Expression, 2001.
A look at how John Stuart Mill views the issue of freedom of expression.

Abstract
This paper examines John Stuart Mill's view on freedom of expression and the liberal stance that he takes toward it. It also analyzes the way in which Mill believes freedom of expression impacts individual development.
From the Paper
"In On Liberty, John Stuart Mill offers a grand and sweeping defense of the principle of liberty. Mill defends the principle on two grounds: it enables individuals to realize their unique, individual potential, and by liberating individual talents, creativity, and spontaneity, it provides the essential nurturing for moral and intellectual progress. Freedom of expression is especially significant to his theory of liberty, as it plays a vital role in individual development. Crucial to Mill?s theory as well is his belief that interference with individual liberty is never justified unless it is to prevent harm to others. This, in turn, leads to Mill?s liberal view on freedom of expression, as he allows for little legitimate interference in this sphere, arguing instead for the fullest liberty in professing and discussing opinions, ideas, and doctrines."

Abstract
This essay discusses the validity of movies in which the directors come from a different background than that which the story is based upon (e.g. a white director directing a movie about African slaves). It moves on to talk about freedom of speech and expression.
From the Paper
"I do not believe that it is mandatory for a movie depicting a certain race or culture should be directed by a person of the same ethnicity. However, a film such as Malcolm X gains more reliability as a result of Spike Lee directing it as opposed to someone like Ron Howard, who is about as white as they come. I am not saying that a white person is not capable of directing a movie focused on African Americans or visa versa, but the final product will appear more authentic. A black director like Spike Lee is able to directly relate to Malcolm X based upon firsthand experience of growing up as a black minority in the United States, just as Malcolm did. Whereas, on the other side of the spectrum, a white director will never fully comprehend what it is to be a minority in our country, and no matter how hard he/she tries, will never be able to put his/herself in a black person?s shoes. Just as Francis Ford Coppola directed The Godfather trilogy, and Steven Spielberg directed Schindler?s List, this assisted in increasing their credibility because, of course, Coppola is Italian, and Spielberg is Jewish. Therefore, the subject matter of these films hits closer to home to each director respectively, rather than if someone of different nationalities had been responsible for them. In the public eye, each film appears to be more realistic, and in turn, moviegoers are more apt to spend the money to go see them. Ponder over this one: If a white director had done Malcolm X, would the black population, who is aware of this, be more likely to go to the theater to see it than if a black director had been the mastermind behind it? Probably not."

Freedom of Expression, 2005.
A comparison of freedom of expression laws in America, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Abstract
This paper explains that, because the laws of all three nations-the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada-are based on the same underlying body of law, loosely described as English jurisprudence-the right to freedom of speech/expression in all three is quite similar. This paper compares the three country's laws and regulations regarding this issue.
From the Paper
"A flap in town council demonstrates the principle of free speech as practiced in the U.K. As the result of an insult flung about in the council chambers, one of the government/political people attending said something to a reporter "no gentleman would say." The commentator on the incident noted that both politicians and journalists can play rough, and, to the public mind, it is a non-starter as an issue. However, a piece of legislation was in place that was causing some discussion concerning the insulter's right to make the insult. "The real villain of the piece is an item of legislation entitled-soporifically-The Local Authorities (Model Code of Conduct) (England) Order 200." It contains a section demanding that members of city councils must "treat others with respect." This makes politeness mandatory, which also, then, limits how one may express one's self, at least if one is a council member in Great Britain. Moreover, the demand to express thoughts only in a polite manner extends to 'others' and not just voters or officials...anyone and everyone, obviously at all times. This law only applies to council members: One assumes that, except where specifically codified into law, other citizens of the U.K. can be verbally disrespectful if they wish."

Freedom of Expression, 2002.

Abstract
This paper looks at three famous legal cases in the United States which resulted in landmark decisions regarding the boundaries to freedom of expression. In each case, the paper discusses the events leading up to the case, the arguments presented on both sides, and the final Supreme Court ruling.
From the Paper
"Freedom of expression plays an important role in the doctrines of human liberty. However not every country grants this right to its citizens. There are many countries in the world where freedom of expression is still a contentious issue and which have been categorized by Freedom House as not being entirely free. The United States of America is one country where the constitution gives every American the freedom of speech and expression. However there have been cases where American citizens have misused this law to their own advantage. Freedom of expression and speech is a right to use and not to abuse."

An explication of Yusef Komunyakaa's poem "Facing It," as the self expression of the poet - an African American and Vietnam War veteran - as he sees his reflection in the Vietnam Memorial.
From the Paper
"In the poem "Facing It" by Yusef Komunyakaa, the author uses first person narration, metaphor, simile, images of light and darkness, personification, allusion and word connotation in order to convey to his detached audience the intimate experience of making his pilgrimage to the Vietnam War Veteran's Memorial in Washington DC. For Komunyakaa, an African American writer and Vietnam veteran, the emotions associated with the memorial are complex, sad, disheartening and cherished."

Abstract
This paper tackles the reception of and reaction to, artists and their works by society, paying particular attention to the consequences of this towards the freedom of speech. It includes close references to, amongst others, the works and observations of Eminem, Oscar Wilde and Seamus Heaney.
From the Paper
"The culture of apportioning blame onto those artists who may or may not have had a negative influence upon an individual is one that I feel to be totally flawed and in some cases completely unfair. Marshall Mathers has used various alter egos to put across his opinions and views, and through Slim Shady or Eminem I feel that many of his observations and experiences of society have been conveyed using the satire and parody these characters purvey. Unfortunately members of the public have taken it upon themselves to adjudge the responsibility of the actions of individuals who have interpreted his material in a literal manner onto Marshall Mathers himself."

Abstract
This paper briefly reviews the life and times of Florence Kenyon Hayden Rector. The paper describes her significant life achievements, the sexism she faced and the reason why society must remain vigilant against such attitudes today. Additionally, the paper contains thirteen sources, mostly internet-based, providing important information on this woman.
From the Paper
"The matter of female architects in Ohio is an interesting one because, historically, women in Ohio - as elsewhere in America - faced great difficulty. Ms. Hayden - she later married James Rector and assumed the nomenclature Florence Kenyon Hayden Rector - was also an outspoken suffragist ("Women in Ohio History - Florence Kenyon Hayden Rector" 2005, paragraph 12). Fortunately, her papers can still be accessed in various University collections throughout America ("Guide to the Manuscript Collections - Hayden, Florence Kenyon" 2005, paragraph 36). Ms. Hayden's work did not begin and end with her design of the elegant Oxley Hall Women's Residence at the University of Ohio. She also designed the home of Ohio millionaire Ellis O. Jones ("Old Towne East - An Historic Neighborhood" 2005, paragraph 1)."

Freedom of Expression and The United States Supreme Court, 2000.
How Supreme Court freedom of expression decisions during the 1960s changed American government and politics.

From the Paper
"In his dissenting opinion on a 1919 case, Justice Holmes wrote, ?[W]e should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe and believe to be fraught with death...? (Abraham and Perry 157). The case was Abrams v. United States, a freedom of speech case dealing with the distribution of socialist literature during World War I. There were other similar cases in the early part of the 1900s such as Schenck v. United States, Frohwerk v. United States, Debs v. United States, and Gitlow v. New York (Abraham and Perry 154-5, 156, 158). Although these cases laid the foundation for all of the freedom of expression cases that would later come before the Supreme Court, they did little when compared to the free speech cases that came before the Court in the 1960s. While the cases in the early part of the century were important for the precedents that they set, freedom of expression cases during the 1960s changed American government and politics. Supreme Court decisions on freedom of expression cases during the 1960s placed never before seen limits on governmental power and guaranteed the protection of several fundamental rights."

From the Paper
"There has been increasing amount of research devoted to discerning the role of gender and its influence in the emotional response to a particular situation. These researches have added weight to the presumption that the structural differences of the cerebral cortex has a substantial influence in triggering emotional responses and the differing reactions in men and women to an external stimuli. Let us have a brief outlook of the psychological and biological effects that contribute to the differing emotional responses (in men and women) and the scientific explanation for the same."

Terrorism as an expression of Culture, 2002.
Explores the notion that certain aspects of the Islamic culture breed terrorism.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Terrorism is an assertion of the will of a very few over the many. It is a protest, an attempt to gain power and influence, and an expression of cultural anger. Palestinian terrorists have been blowing themselves up in crowds of Israelis for decades. Theirs is an expression of protest against the very existence of the Israeli state. Terrorism is, then, a multi-faceted expression of violence against another party. The commonality is that some element of the cultures that generate terrorism makes the act of destroying innocent lives. It is the purpose of this paper to examine how a culture, particularly that found in some areas of the Islamic world, can breed terrorism.

Hip Hop and Rap as Political Expression, 2001.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the musical styles of hip hop and rap create a powerful venue for African Americans to express their feelings regarding politics, racial discrimination and society in general. To compliment the main thesis, this paper includes an in-depth history of the origins of hip hop, analysis of politically significant songs and the effects of mass media on hip hop.
From the Paper
"In the United States of America we pride ourselves as being the freest nation in the world. Unfortunately, there are times in our history in which certain groups have been unrightfully deprived of their freedom. This can be said for African-Americans who endured 244 years of slavery and another century of institutionalized racism. As Ralph Ellison has suggested, ?Afro-Americans have had rhythmic freedom in place of social freedom, linguistic wealth instead of pecuniary wealth? (West, 1999, p. 474). The late 1970s signaled a new era of rhythmic and linguistic wealth: rap music. Hip hop and in particular rap music gives African Americans on the margins of society a powerful voice to express political discontent, but these messages are being obscured by the violence and sexism in some rap music. While political discontent is expressed through all the elements of hip hop, rap music has become the most powerful, creating a link that transcends location, age, religion, and race."
