Abstract
This paper discusses the fan base of The Rolling Stones and how it relies on a cultural milieu of young and old fans that find rebellion important in their music. Although The Rolling Stones had emulated the counter-culture and violent street mentality for so many years, it is obvious the band still beholds a popular presence through the generations.
From the Paper
"This study will examine the band culture and fan base media perspective of the rock & roll band: The Rolling Stones. By critically evaluating how the lifestyles of the band members bring forth a music media culture, one can realize how hard living, drug addiction, and rebellion are the mainstay of The Rolling Stone fan base. In essence, rebellion and counter culture media perspectives are essential in realizing who and what this band represents in 20th and 21st century music history. The basis of fame within The Rolling Stones culture and through their fans is the sense of rebellion that their music embodies over a nearly 50-year span. In one instance, the issue with the Rolling Stones was to oppose the "good boy" image of the Beatles, their main competition during the 1960s. "

"Introduction
Although it began in the 1960s as a way for employees in government and education to establish contact with one another, the Internet today has moved far beyond the purview of bureaucrats and academicians. The public is familiar with the term "information superhighway," and the World Wide Web and newsgroups have received a great deal of media attention as more and more individuals from around the world discover cyberspace. The rapid expansion of the Internet has brought with it several important issues regarding privacy, government control and general access: CompuServe, an American company, recently faced a decision of how to respond to Germany's laws regarding the distribution of pornography on the Internet (Bryant 12290018). Pornography has caused considerable concern as parents and government officials worry..."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how kidney stones, also knows as urolithiasis, are pieces of solid material that form in the kidneys as a result of substances found in the urine. The paper explains that when stones get caught in the urinary tract, they block the urinary flow and cause intense pain. The paper discusses how they can be detected by x-rays and sonograms and how treatment is usually by drinking copious amounts of water and in fewer cases by surgery.
From the Paper
"Although many stones are so small in size that they do not cause the appearance of any symptoms, there are many however, that do. Individuals with kidney stones oftentimes experience sudden pain usually located in the lower back area or the abdomen. This pain is associated with the kidney stone entering and moving down the ureter, causing blockage or irritation. As a result of the excruciating pain, nausea and vomiting may occur. Some individuals may notice blood in their urine as a result of the kidney stone rubbing against the narrow walls of the ureter. The urine may also be cloudy in color and possess a strong and unpleasant odor. "

Abstract
The paper looks at racism in the book "Stones" by William Bell and presents the Canadian treatment of slaves from Haiti during the 1800's. It also gives a present perspective on the problem by analyzing this years NBA's MVP and the controversy it sparked by choosing Steve Nash.
From the Paper
"Reverse discrimination is also part of this much larger issue. This type of discrimination is very contemporaneous and it is usually toward black people, although other discriminated people could "benefit" from it like Jews or Japanese and even immigrants. In the book we learn that Hannah was suspected of witchcraft, but when Garnet and Raphaella met her, they assumed from the beginning she was not guilty and that she was made a "martyr". However, if we analyze the book more in detail, we find that Hannah and her husband, Jubal, did not give up their fait and thus they were not buried in the Methodist Church graveyard."

The Law of Conservation of Energy Applied to a Rolling Sphere, 2000.
A report of an experiment designed to show that the law of conservation of mass is valid when applied to a rolling sphere.
1,630 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 2 sources, AU$ 77.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"This is accomplished by demonstrating that a sphere of mass m suspended on a ramp at a height h will have a gravitational potential energy Ug = mgh and that energy will be equal to the total kinetic energy EK = 7/10mv2, where v equals the final velocity of the sphere as it leaves the ramp. Therefore, the law of conservation of mass will be verified by demonstrating the following equation: Ug = mgh = EK = 7/10mv2.
The lab is an original comprehensive work with a full theoretical background of derived equations, and tables and graphs displaying all pertinent experimental data. Several illustrations are also used to convey the details of the experimental method."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the thesis of an argument essay penned by former sports columnist Richard Estrada in 1995. The paper explores whether or not the thesis is clear, whether or not it is arguable (a statement of fact is generally not considered an acceptable thesis) and whether or not the thesis is appropriately qualified in light of the fact that the topic (controversial team sports names) is highly contentious and invites many differing view-points. In the end, the paper concludes that Estrada's essay is a solid one in part because its thesis statement satisfies certain basic requirements.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the short story titled "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson. The paper discusses the elements of literature including theme, setting, plot and characters. The writer focuses on Jackson's mockery of social expectations in this story, and portrays the theme of the individual's place in society.
From the Paper
"Shirley Jackson?s short story ?The Lottery? is a haunting depiction of the ignorance of humans. The residents of the village represent all the people of the world. People of all places expect adherence to certain social and familial roles or practices, as assigned by that particular society. Any divergence from these roles or practices might result in banishment; therefore, no one diverges, even when it comes to ritualistic murder. The purpose of ?The Lottery,? it would seem, is to make a mockery of these social expectations and show the reader how ridiculous it is to conform to all of societies habits, simply because they have always been. Jackson reveals her opinion of the society she lives with. Jackson engages the reader by associating them with the setting and the characters and then pulls no punches in a twisted ending that makes the reader wonder how far individuals would go to maintain good standing with the community."

"UNFOCUSED THUNDER
Operation Rolling Thunder, 1965-1968
Operation Rolling Thunder was the code name given to American air operations over North Vietnam in the period beginning shortly after the Tonkin Gulf incident in early 1965 and ending with the start of the Paris peace talks in late 1968. (It must be emphasized that it does not include the Linebacker II bombing of Hanoi, which took place some four years after Rolling Thunder ended.)
Rolling Thunder was intended to achieve two objectives: to interdict the movement of troops and supplies from North Vietnam into South Vietnam, and to inflict punitive levels of damage on North Vietnam, both with the objective of compelling it to cease support for Communist forces within South Vietnam. Rolling Thunder was thus an ..."

From the Paper
"Two recent novels--Dogeaters by Jessica Hagedorn and Rolling the R's by R. Zamora Linmark--illuminate different aspects of the Filipino experience, the first set in Manila and so in the Filipino homeland, the second in Hawaii and so a reflection of the immigrant experience in America. Both works reflect the difficulty faced in the conflict between the old culture and the new. In both books, the older generation is tied to the culture of the Philippines while the younger generation is seduced by American popular culture. In Dogeaters, this conflict takes place in the Philippines as the powerhouse of American popular culture beckons to the young. In Rolling the R's, the conflict takes place in Hawaii as people who have immigrated form the Philippines are exposed even more directly to American life and culture. The themes of class conflicts, assimilation, and the.."

The Mass-Media Pygmalion, 2006.
This paper studies the complex relationship between consumers and the mass media. Do we create the media, or does the media create us?
1,208 words (approx. 4.8 pages), 4 sources, MLA, AU$ 60.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The author studies the give and take relationship between the media and our society to determine which is the cause and which is the effect. The author continues by showing a connection between the main icons of Western culture and the effects of the media. The fast food industry is highlighted and the author shows the great effects it has had on our trends and ideals, with conformity a notable outcome. After studying the diverse effects of our fast food culture today, the author concludes that only a corrupt society can allow the mass media such power.
From the Paper
"In the Classical Greco-Roman era, it was believed that Pygmalion, a sculptor, brought Galatea to life. However, today it seems to be a more common belief that Galatea creates Pygmalion. The question of whether members of our society create the media, or if the media influences members of the society to such a degree that it essentially creates the society, is a prominent one in the study of modern anthropology. Pop culture artifacts reveal a great deal about the modern society, including social trends, values, ideals, and more. The relationship between consumers and the mass media is a complex one that may not be simple enough to evaluate as a directional give-and-take diagram. There are many issues relating to social responsibility and the often clashing pursuits of individual wealth and greater good that come to play when discussing popular media, culture, and society."

From the Paper
"China entered into the World Trade Organization and gave rise to speculations that the world's largest media market might be much more easily accessible to publishers in the international media industry. The market economy in China is making gains however the media industry including the print remains in the governments hands which results in a product that is "forced-fed to all levels of governments offices, at a cost ultimately assumed by the taxpayers" (China Daily 2003) . In fact estimates for the taxes in China's media market are stated to be "16 to 20 billion a year. " (China Daily, 2003) Government spending pays approximately "6 to 10 billion Yuan" of that amount. (China Daily 2003) The media industry in China is under total government control with a very few foreign investors as well as private investors involved on the retail side of business."

Abstract
This paper provides a three-tiered analysis of the most important trends in art, music and literature since 1890. In the paper, Andy Warhol represents the important trend of pop art, the Rolling Stones represents the important trend of Rock 'n' Roll in popular music and finally, Ernest Hemingway represents the crucial trend of modernist literature in the 20th century. It shows how these trends are an important part of the cultural identity of the 20th century, which impart crucial influences as to how art, music and literature evolved in this time frame.
From the Paper
"The insanity and terror of war of this kind is the direct result of losing one's honor in a battle field that had little to do with chivalry and honor. Modernism reflects the reality and horror of war, as Hemingway clearly indicates in his response to coming home and telling his story to the local people in his town. In an age of machines and World Wars, Hemingway was a part of the important trend of literary Modernism, which provided the reality of war that counteracted the romanticism of war in the 19th century."

Abstract
This paper compares traditional media to new media in an attempt to determine which one is more influential and how they differ in their stories and presentation methods.
From the Paper
"Media is always biased, less trained, unprepared, and hasty or simply looking for sensationalism and that is the reason why the news that we receive is either insignificant or highly distorted. Apart from the reporting of various events during the recent Iraq War, which I trust were never reported accurately, the media also tried to divert public?s attention from pressing issues to those of minor significance by obsessing over trivial events. That media cannot be fully trusted for accurate account of events became a big issue when the story of Private Jessica Lynch came forth. Newspapers, televisions, local channels, radio stations and even the Internet obsessed over Jessica Lynch and her rescue from Iraqi forces. Almost overnight, she became the most important person in the world- an icon that everyone wanted to know more about. Lynch was presented as an epitome of courage and bravery and it appeared as if the only real purpose of having US force in Iraq was to rescue Jessica Lynch. ?In the fourteen days after her rescue, Lynch drew 919 references in major papers, according to a Nexis search. In that same period, General Tommy Franks, who ran the war, got 639 references, Vice President Dick Cheney 549, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz 389. She stood with the giants.?

From the Paper
"One of the main roles that the press plays in any democracy is that of a public watchdog that is vigilant over government activities on behalf of the people that government serves (Krimsky, 2000). The media is a fundamental tool in the decision-making of the democratic government in any country. A democracy requires the people of the state to make choices and decisions on a daily basis. This therefore needs to be aided by a media and media environment that allows for objectivity through its content and the journalists and staff of the forms of media themselves. The media needs to inform, without judging (Krimsky, 2000)."
