...AN ANALYSIS: THE NEW YORK TIMES VS. SULLIVAN Class, Section, Professor’s name, The New York Times vs. Sullivan The civil rights era was a time in American history when issues concerning race relations ranged from segregation to abuse. During this time, The New York Times vs. Sullivan case changed the face of the news and the country’s understanding of the first amendment forever and in turn represents what most people today recognize as freedom of speech (Harrison, Harrison, Gilbert, &Gilbert, 1991-2006). In the spring of 1960, racial tension high and Americans of all races fighting for change. The New York Times published a full-page advertisement describing the abuse and mistreatment at the hands of the people who carry the expectation to protect and serve. The civil right activism that many Americans know from history books and television was just beginning. The rise of students working together with King and other leaders to create the infamous sit-ins and in turn violent reaction of the police that is all too familiar in history books and documentaries. Martin Luther King participated in the first sit in at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College in Durham and upon returning to Atlanta was informed that he had a warrant in Alabama because of false information on tax records. Two groups, the Struggle for Freedom and the Committee to Defend Martin Luther King paid $4,800 dollars for the advertisement, which asked for donations...

...The Lizzie Borden Trial Abstract The 1893 trial of Lizzie Borden has been analyzed by historians throughout the twentieth and now twenty first century. Particular interest has been placed on whether Lizzie Borden was guilty or innocent, given the considerable amount of time that has passed it would be irrational to speculate on the jury’s decision to acquit Lizzie. Focusing on the evidence obtained by the Fall River police department and District Attorney Hosea Knowlton we can obtain a better view of the events which occurred that fateful day in August, 1982. Why did the panel of judges disallow so much key evidence presented by the prosecution and could the actions of key courtroom figures have set free a guilty woman? The late nineteenth century would be a critical time in the evolution of substantive and procedural rights, including the right to remain silent for United States citizens. Today men and women enjoy equal rights in the eyes of the law but late in the nineteenth century things were much different, could the way men viewed women have set free a murderer? On a scorching 1892 August day in Fall River, Massachusetts, Andrew and Abby Borden were violently murdered in their home on Second Street. The Lizzie Borden trial held in 1893 attracted attention from nearly the entire United States with newspapers in New York City, Providence, and Boston publishing articles at a frenzied pace. The subsequent police investigation and trial of Lizzie Borden gained national...

...even hired. Some corporations and government agencies can be wrought with institutionalized discrimination. Institutionalized discrimination is the result of longstanding practices and/or behaviors that have a negative impact on members of subordinate groups (Sullivan, 2005) Examples of this can be found in the teaching and nursing fields. For decades men were thought to be less qualified for these positions. Another example would be that women were thought to be unqualified as factory workers until World War II made it necessary for them to do so. Even after proving themselves capable during the war institutional discrimination was very slow to change, it took decades to dissolves. (Anderson, 1982). This hiring process can still include discrimination that it not institutionalized depending on the person doing the hiring. Often times the person doing the hiring can harbor their own individual prejudice which can lead to Individual discrimination. Individual discrimination consists of a one on one act by members of the dominant group that harms subordinate group members or their property. (Sullivan, 2005) An example of this would be that large/overweight people have in obtaining and retaining employment. One case in point would be Annette McConnell from Arizona; she was an award winning sales person who was laid off because of her weight. When...

Cynthia Cooper indicated the activities were fraudulent and describes the individuals involved. More than one department was to blame for the fraud at WorldCom.

...Dualisms: A Response to Henry Sullivan* HOWARD MANCING n a recent essay entitled “Don Quixote de la Mancha: Analyzable or Unanalyzable?” published in this journal, Henry W. Sullivan makes the case for the psychoanalysis of literary characters. While there is much to ponder in Sullivan's essay, there are two points, both involving dualisms, that I would like to discuss. In the first case, Sullivan argues insightfully and convincingly against an absolute distinction between how we know and think about fictional characters and how we know and think about real people. In the second case, however, Sullivan insists on an absolute (Cartesian) mind-body dualism as a cornerstone of psychoanalytic theory. I would like to repeat and extend Sullivan's argument in the first case, but refute it and deny its validity in the second. First dualism: Fact/Fiction Sullivan cites as representative of a certain widely-shared approach Maud Ellmann's insistence that there is an important distinction between a “human being made of flesh and character made of words” (5), a distinction that allows us to make one kind statement about the former but not the latter. Ellmann is not alone in making the real-life/fictional distinction a fundamental matter of ontology. We are all familiar with arguments like hers, having heard * For a response to this response, see “Don Quixote & the ‘Third Term’ as Solvent of Binary Dualisms: A Response to Howard Mancing”, by Henry W. Sullivan, Cervantes 19.1 (1999):...

When discussing the postmodern literature, Calvino’s novel of 1979 “If on a winter's night a traveler” definitely is a work that is worth to be examined within this context. While ascribing the features of the postmodern fiction to a specified work at times can prove to be an undertaking that is both controversial and challenging in nature. This novel has proven to be both fascinating and also to be innovative work of the fiction which is postmodern. “If on a winter's night a traveler” authored by Italo Calvino, is a postmodern novel since it deviates from the obvious objectivity provided by the omniscient external narration normally found in nearly all traditional books(Calvino & William, pp.13-18). All through chapter two, Calvino employs second person viewpoint, where he narrates of the readers of the novel, are the key characters in his plot. The author constantly employs the pronoun “you” in making the reader to feel more engaged in what is happening and points out directly the relationship between the author, the text, and the readers. Self-reflectivity also is found in nearly all postmodern novels are well-known to possess. Calvino’s novel portrays numerous remarkable literary devices that use “key characteristics’’ postmodern fiction as illustrated in the parameters summarized by Tim Woods in Beginning postmodernism which was his publication (Woods, pp.65-66).

...to target non-combatants for political purposes, is one of the most effective ways to gain media attention. Mainly used by extremist groups in the hopes of gaining recognition for their cause (weather it is religious, political or otherwise.) Several attacks on the US have recently made headlines. The attack on the USS Cole (October 12, 2000), US Embassy bombings in Kenya + Tanzania (August 7, 1998), Oklahoma City bombing (April 19, 1995) and finally the World Trade Centre bombing on February 26 1993. What we need to recognize about terrorism is its message. Attacks are always perfectly planned and precise, almost showing that they could do better. It was a clear, beautiful day in the town of Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. Richard Williams arrived to work as normal, waving and smiling to his co-workers as he headed through the hallways of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal building where he was the assistant manager. He responded to a few e-mails and noted some voicemails as he contemplated his day. Shortly after 9 a.m. the building he had worked in for years suddenly became his worst nightmare as that day will go down in history. Just around 9:02 am, a massive explosion rocked its walls and...

... Some people may ask what a gay is or what a lesbian is. A gay person is a homosexual that is attracted to their own sex gender. A lesbian is the same as a gay person but it is just two females who are attracted to each other. What is marriage? Recently, people argue with respect to the definition of marriage. What happened to marriage? To get married is a very important event for almost everyone. Especially for women, marriage and giving a birth could be the two biggest events of their lives. Many people believe that getting married to the one whom he or she loves is natural. However, what do you think if you cannot get married to him or her because it is socially unacceptable? Andrew Sullivan and William Bennett are authors who are arguing about the homosexual marriage. Sullivan agrees with the same-sex marriage because everyone has a right to marry. On the other hand, Bennett contradicts Sullivan’s opinion. Bennett makes an assertion that marriage is between a man and a woman building up their entire life together. Both authors’ opinions are totally different. Nevertheless, their ideas are well established. In Sullivan’s essay, he talks about accepting same-sex marriage. If the judge accepted homosexuals as citizens in the Supreme Court, homosexual people would feel free. They do not have to hide and tell a lie anymore. Most people wonder why they desire to get married. The reason is the same as anyone who wants to get married to the one whom he or she loves...

Discharge instructions can be construed to be part of a hospital’s rules, regulations and policies. 4. Unclear, or ambiguous discharge instructions can place the hospital at risk for increased liability for negligence if a casual connection can be made to a patient’s injury. Therefore, to protect itself, hospitals should be proactive in establishing clear discharge protocols and individualized discharge instructions. IV. Review of the Law In the case of Earline Therry, et al v. State of Louisiana, through the Department of Health and Hospitals and University Medical Center of Lafayette, Louisiana, a summary judgment was granted for the defendants based upon the plaintiff’s inability to establish a causal connection between a breach of the standard of care and any resultant injuries. In this case, Mrs. Therry accused the Defendants of negligence for allowing her to develop digitalis toxicity due to a one-day delay in returning to the hospital. Mrs. Therry’s discharge instructions stated to return to the emergency room if she had any problems. Mrs. Therry was discharged on two diuretics, possibly causing dehydration, which as one medical panel review board member concluded, could be a possible cause of the...

...Unexplored psychologists or psychiatrists Herbert "Harry" Stack Sullivan Herbert "Harry" Stack Sullivan (February 21, 1892, Norwich, New York – January 14, 1949) was an American Neo-Freudian psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who held that the personality lives in, and has his or her being in, a complex of interpersonal relations. Work Along with Clara Thompson, Karen Horney, Erich Fromm, Otto Allen Will, Jr., Erik H. Erikson, and Frieda Fromm-Reichmann, Sullivan laid the groundwork for understanding the individual based on the network of relationships in which he or she is enmeshed. He developed a theory of psychiatry based on interpersonal relationships where cultural forces are largely responsible for mental illnesses. In his words, one must pay attention to the "interactional", not the "intrapsychic". This search for satisfaction via personal involvement with others led Sullivan to characterize loneliness as the most painful of human experiences. He also extended the Freudian psychoanalysis to the treatment of patients with severe mental disorders, particularly schizophrenia. Besides making the first mention of the significant other in psychological literature, Sullivan developed the Self System, a configuration of the personality traits developed in childhood and reinforced by positive affirmation and the security operations developed in childhood to avoid anxiety and threats to self-esteem. Sullivan further defined the Self System as a steering mechanism toward a series...

The Court held that under very limited circumstances counsel was entitled to be present at an interview with the witnesses occurring immediately after a lineup at which counsel had been present.

...Furman was a poor black man living in Georgia when he broke into William Joseph Micke, Jr’s house, Mr. Micke went downstairs to investigate and saw William Furman in his house with a gun. Furman began to flee the house but tripped in the process and fired the gun accidently shooting Mr. Micke in the chest and killing him instantly. Furman was later found by the police still carrying the gun and arrested for murder. This case is known as Furman v. Georgia and was taken to the Supreme Court on the fact that the death penalty in Georgia violated the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This is a landmark case because “The significance of Furman v. Georgia is that this case was the first case that was ruled violating the Eighth amendment and that it halted every man on death row in the United States” (study). But before the case reached the Supreme Court the case went on trial September 20, 1968 where Furman pleaded mentally ill and insane, the court rejected his plea and found him guilty of murder. Then, Furman appealed his conviction and sentence, based on the death penalty in Georgia violating the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution . The Eighth Amendment says the federal government may not use "cruel and unusual punishments” (Henson). The case was later tried in the Supreme Court January 17, 1972. The justices who won majority and reversed the case were William J. Brennan, Jr., William O. Douglas, Thurgood Marshall, Potter Stewart, Byron R. White, thus...
