Pornography: Different Views
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of the opinions
surround pornography. Contrasts the views of two feminist, Catherine
MacKinnon and Sallie Tisdale, each of which perceives pornography in
widely divergent ways. While MacKinnon's 'Not A Moral Issue' explains
the adverse impacts of pornography to women and society as a whole,
Tisdale's 'Talk Dirty to Me: An Intimate Philosophy of Sex' is receptive
to pornography despite these adverse impacts, suggesting in fact that
the solution to the problems associated with pornography is a greater role of women in production of that pornography. Bibliography lists 2
sources.

Use Of Nature As Escape
[ send me this paper ]
The writing of the early part of this century and late nineteenth century was often defined as 'modern' by way of the propensity of the authors of that era to address the underlying psychological motivations for behavior. Unfortunately, this often resulted in a self analysis that was unbearable to the character and the inner conflict ended in cessation of life, lifestyle and, or the person as they had been before self evaluation. This 6 page paper argues that in The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway's The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, The Awakening by Kate Chopin, Miss LonelyHearts and Day of the Locust by Nathaniel West, The Sound and the Fury by Faulkner and Call It Sleep by Henry Roth, nature plays a pivotal role as symbol and in reality in the examination of the self and is used as an escape from the lives and conflicts of the characters. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
