Abstract
This paper explains that Judy Chicago applies vulvar representations to her works with the same frequency that penile representations were applied to male statuary from time immemorial; however, Chicago creates female genitalia not to portray realism, as the male genitalia on Greek, Roman, Renaissance or any other heroic statuary, but rather to make a feminist statement. The author describes "The Dinner Party" installation as a triangular banquet table, with each side 48 feet long, sitting on a ceramic floor inscribed with the names of 999 notable women of history, both ancient and modern and at each of the 39 places is a plate, with some version of female genitalia on it and a porcelain chalice. The paper relates that "The Dinner Party" belongs to the genre of conceptual art; Chicago, along with Duchamp and Christo is deemed to be a valuable modern minimalist.

From the Paper
"The vulvar ornamentation of "The Dinner Party" places Judy Chicago firmly in a long line of sculptors who represented this essential aspect of female-ness across cultures. Sheila-na-gigs "closely resembled the yonic statues of Kali which still appear at the doorways of Hindu temples, where visitors lick a finger and touch the yoni 'for luck.' Some of the older figures have deep holes worn in their yonis from much touching." This also imitates the death goddess Kalika "evidently remembered in Ireland as the Caillech or 'Old Woman,' who was also the Creatress and gave birth to all the races of men." Whether or not Chicago was conversant with the totality of this world-order of female genitalia and its meaning and importance, she conveyed it just as firmly as had the abundant sheila-na-gigs of Ireland."

Abstract
This paper discusses the life and art of Judy Chicago and her struggle to help women break out in the art world, and a detailed look at her work, "The Dinner Party", and its sexual and feminist meanings.
Awakening of Feminism

The Dinner Party
Conclusion
From the Paper
Judy Chicago and her Dinner Party bears some significant historical meaning for the world of feminism, the world of art history, and the world that ordinary people like you and me live. In contrast to the modernists/modernism and abstract expressionists/abstract expressionism that require artwork to be a production from solitary beings, Chicago used a total of 400 or so collective powers to constitute her piece of history. In contrast to the passive roles of feminine figures in the history of art, Chicago not only accepted the female figures but also blatantly integrated the female genitals into The Dinner Party.

From the Paper

Abstract
In this article, the writer studies race riots and alcohol addiction and gambling as a part of organized crime within Chicago. The writer points out that political corruption and instability that marked the era of 1920s in Chicago can be studied through the different events that took place during that time. The writer then mentions that Chicago history records such events as a railroad strike on Halsted Street in Chicago, Illinois, the workers' protest against meager wages by the U.S. labor board and some race riots to mention a few. Further, the writer discusses the affects of prohibition in Chicago, as this was intended to bring about economic improvement and a reduction in crime, which did not actually happen.
Outline:
Race Riots in Chicago
Alcohol Addiction
Organized Crimes in Chicago
Bibliography
From the Paper
"While it would be wrong to classify Chicago as a crime-ridden city now, still for some odd reason, this city has become a symbol of organized crime. The era of 1920s brought a seriously bad name to the city which means that when we mention Chicago, somehow the images of machine guns rattling on the streets pop up in our minds. Corrupt politicians, bootleggers and notorious gangsters found this city as a haven for crime activities and it came to be known as the Capone's Chicago because of increased activities in organized crime. But while this city was infested with crime, at the same time, people were also struggling to free their beloved city of the problems transplanted by the Sicilian Mafia. Another major reason why crime rates and other illegal activities escalated was the fact that many youngsters found it a safe haven to get what they wanted including drugs, brothels and gambling activities."

Chicago and the Meat Packing Industry, 2002.
Examining the impact of the meat packing industry on Chicago's economy and society.

Abstract
The following research explores the history and impact of the meat packing industry on Chicago. It supports the thesis that the meat packing industry was not the sole industry in Chicago, but that it was responsible for supporting many other industries that would not have survived without it. It gives several instances where the Chicago meat packing industry had an effect, not only the local area, but on the nation as well.
From the Paper
"We get another glimpse of the meat packing industry from author Upton Sinclair in his 1906 book, The Jungle. Sinclair?s book brought the plight of the meat-packing worker to the eyes of the world and this sparked a controversy. He called the conditions of the worker as closely resembling wage-slavery. It highlights the challenge of the immigrant worker?s struggle for simple survival against a modern capitalist economy. It shed a socialist perspective on the subject, but it was his portrayal of the unsanitary conditions in the plants that hit home. His book caused such an uproar the government decided to launch an investigation and found Sinclair?s descriptions to be accurate. This eventually led to the Meat Inspection Bill and the Pure Food Bill, passed on June 6, 1906, the same year Sinclair?s book hit the market (Zwick, 2003). President Theodore Roosevelt was provided an advance copy and it sickened him. He immediately called upon Congress to set up the Food and Drug Administration, setting up the first federal standards for meat inspection (Blackwell, 1998)."

County of Cook/City of Chicago Homeland Security, 2007.
This paper describes in detail the author's interviews and analysis of homeland security in the County of Cook/City of Chicago.
5,855 words (approx. 23.4 pages), 19 sources, APA, AU$ 225.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper relates that Cook County, Illinois, the second largest county in the US, and its hub, the City of Chicago, have critical and symbolic infrastructures, within its borders such as the Sears Tower, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Federal Reserve Bank and the Navy Pier, which are at the heart of the U.S. defense of its homeland security. The author expected well-planned and well-executed preparations; yet it seems that this department is marred in the typical "Chicago political machine" with what appears to be more spin about its weaknesses than exploitation of its strengths. The author of the paper states, for example, with total shock, that, unlike all of the other ten largest counties (by population) in the United States, Cook County does not have a specific division addressing homeland security.
From the Paper
"In an interesting article in CIO Magazine, it continues to elaborate as to the new camera system. Chicago already had about 2,000 un-networked video cameras installed around the city as well as at O'Hare International Airport and Midway Airport. An additional 250 cameras were added at "undisclosed locations deemed 'high-risk terrorist targets,'" according to Ron Huberman, Executive Director of the City of Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communication. He continued in saying that "linking all the cameras into a single network, tied together with customized off-the-shelf 'smart' software, will bring the system to a whole new level." "

Community Policing in New York and Chicago, 2005.
An analysis of the success of the New York and Chicago community policing models.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 5 sources, AU$ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper compares and contrasts two of the United States' most conspicuously successful community policing initiatives: the New York COMPSTAT program and the Chicago CAPS program. The paper briefly describes both, delineates some of the differences and similarities between the two and ultimately concludes that a rigidly monolithic approach to community policing, at least if the New York and Chicago models are any indication, is not desirable or necessary.
From the Paper
"In recent years, community policing has become increasingly prominent as police departments find themselves lacking the resources to combat crime in all of its various manifestations. With this in mind, the following paper will examine community policing in two communities - New York and Chicago - and ascertain where each is similar, and where each is different. Specifically, the paper will explicate "CAPS", discuss "COMPSTAT" strategies, compare the two, and - not least of all - delineate the contrasts between the two entities. Ultimately, what should become apparent is that there is not one effective means of combating crime. Peace-Officers.com, a respected web site written for and by police officers, simply defines community policing as "law enforcement that seeks to integrate officers into the local community to reduce crime and (to) gain good community relations" ("Glossary - Community Policing" 2004, para.1)."

Chicago World Fair, 2005.
This paper examines the social, economic and political effects of the Chicago World Fair of 1893.

Abstract
The paper discusses how analyzing the social, economic and political effects of the Chicago World Fair of 1893 reveals the shocking hypocrisy that pervaded American society in the late nineteenth-century. In Gilded Age America, the wealthy and powerful were idealized and worshipped as social, economic and political icons, despite the fact that many of them were ruthless, corrupt, egomaniacs who considered themselves above the law. The paper discusses how the Chicago World Fair was a national monument to hypocrisy, for it was a microcosm of America itself in this era of greed and psychological self-delusion.

Abstract
This essay compares the changes in cultural rule systems regulating race relations in Chicago and the strategies used by white and black groups to alter those relations between 1890 and 1920 and in the American South between 1954 and 1968. In Chicago during this period, a pattern of de facto segregation of and discrimination against the black population was largely in place by 1890. It intensified during the succeeding thirty years, as whites responded hostilely to the growing migration of blacks from the South, especially during the wartime boom of 1915-1918. In contrast, a de jure system of segregation and discrimination had been in place for more than 75 years in the South at the time the civil rights struggles there erupted after 1953.

Femmes Fatales in "Chicago", 2005.
An analysis of the portrayal of femmes fatales in the movie "Chicago".
3,404 words (approx. 13.6 pages), 0 sources, AU$ 155.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how the movie "Chicago" introduces Roxie Hart (Renee Zelwegger) and Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones) as two examples of femmes fatales, whose stories are based on real facts. It examines how "Chicago" describes the making, the rise and the fall of two femmes fatales, through the choreographies, schemes, song lyrics and symbols.
From the Paper
"A femme fatale is usually defined as "sexually insatiable" and as a "sort of sexual vampire". Roxie here fits the portrait as she commits a crime following her liaison with a salesman and after her medical appointment with a doctor it is obvious she has had sexual intercourse with him, involving him in her scheme by asking him to declare under oath that she is pregnant when in fact she is not. The fact that Roxie uses such an excuse as that of being pregnant as a way of winning her trial is stooping low judging from the declarations she makes to the press: "Well I just want to say that nothing more matters now than the life of my unborn child".

Abstract
This paper explores Carl Sandburg's use of literary tools in "Chicago" to emphasize the emotions of the poem. The use of diction to support the portrayal of Chicago as a city of laughter and pride is one of several aspects of the poem discussed in this paper.
From the Paper
"Throughout the poem, Sandburg makes use of diction to support the portrayal of Chicago as a city of laughter and pride. He also uses diction to describe Chicago's downfalls, which later seem trivial compared to the city's tremendous merits. In the line "Stormy, husky, brawling" the poet uses word that are generally used to describe large, sturdy men, making Chicago appear not only stable, but more human. This sturdy humanlike figure created by the poet's diction comforts the reader, making he or she feel as if Chicago is watching out for them. Next, the poet goes on to answer the questions of Chicago's critics, admitting faults where they exist."

Chicago's Inner Districts, 2005.

Abstract
This essay explores inner city life in Chicago from the years 1900 to 1930. In this article the writer discusses various pressures on American cities at the beginning of the twentieth century. Further, the writer examines how the city of Chicago was shaped and grew out of the poor overcrowded neighborhoods.
From the Paper
"At the turn of the century American cities were burgeoning under the pressures brought on by rapid immigration, urbanization, and industrialization. As thousands of immigrants flooded cities, none had the infrastructure to see the newcomers properly settled or evenly dispersed throughout densely populated neighborhoods. Pockets of decay grew out of the poorly settled neighborhoods--overcrowded, teeming with garbage and disease, crime, and poverty--divided by language, class, and ethnicity. It was these neighborhoods, however, that shaped and molded a city's fluctuating identity. This trend was exemplified in Chicago. By the end of the nineteenth-century Chicago could boast being the mightiest city in mid-America."

"The Czech Republic is moving closer towards Western-style models of business management and economic reform; inevitably increased pizza consumption factors into the constant upward trend. Today the Czech Republic is one of the most affluent of the post-Communist states of Central and Eastern Europe; so Kafka will find a favorable business environment in Prague. Prague is located within Central Europe this is a prime location for new business activities and creates an ideal environment for foreign trade and increased business investment opportunities; Kafka is taking advantage of a fruitful business environment."

Chicago's Housing, 2005.
This paper examines the worsening public housing situation in Chicago.

»

Abstract
The paper discusses how the subsidized housing situation in Chicago is growing bleak, as it is doing in many of America's urban communities. The paper explains that the combination of a reduction in public housing and the increasing reliance on Section 8 has caused public housing situations to become critical. The paper notes that some have seen this development as an opportunity to segregate and a lawsuit has been filed to that effect. The paper discusses that whether or not this kind of accusation has a foundation in the truth is a subject of its own, but maintains that regardless of this, public housing is becoming scarcer and cities like Chicago will feel the negative effect more than most.

Summary & Conclusion
From the Paper
"Seitles claims that integration has been a success in the fight against racial prejudice and states that: "Social consequences of racial isolation intertwine with grim economic realities for minorities. Due to the lack of interaction between racial groups, African-Americans are unprepared to work and socialize in a white majority society, while conversely, whites are not relating to, working with, or living with blacks. Prospects for African-American children raised in such communities are greatly diminished because of the lack of interaction between blacks and whites. Moreover, minority possibilities for advancement consequently decline from the lower quality of education afforded to them in ghetto schools, precluding them from competing for high-income employment. Although these inequalities are not always directly caused by intentional discrimination, residential racial segregation perpetuates these inequalities. Thus, minorities who live in racially homogeneous communities are faced with disadvantages beyond the present economic and social inequalities associated with minority neighborhoods." (Seitles, 1996)"
