Compare and Contrast 2 Works from the Mfa in Boston
Few artists have been able to portray so much life and meaning within a landscape painting the way J.M.W. Turner has. Looking at just two of his works, The Slave Ship and Fall of the Rhine at Schaffhausen, one can easily see the range and the power of this artist. Turner brings to life these scenes between nature and man in a way that communicates the infinite strength of nature and the frailty of humanity.

History of Women in the Early Century
WOMEN'S RIGHTS. Throughout most of history women generally have had fewer legal rights and career opportunities than men. Wifehood and motherhood were regarded as women's most significant professions. In the 20th century, however, women in most nations won the right to vote and increased their educational and job opportunities. Perhaps most important, they fought for and to a large degree accomplished a reevaluation of traditional views of their role in society. Early Attitudes Toward Women

Women, as Victims of Men, in Martin Scorsese Films My thesis for this paper is that director Martin Scorsese generally views women as victims of men. To illustrate this thesis, I will examine two of his well known films, Raging Bull, and Goodfellas.

Socrates: The Greek Philosopher
The life of the Greek philosopher Socrates (469-399 BC) marks such a critical point in Western thought that standard histories divide Greek philosophy into pre-Socratic and post-Socratic periods. Socrates left no writings of his own, and his work has inspired almost as many different interpretations as there have been interpreters. He remains one of the most important and one of the most enigmatic figures in Western philosophy. As a young man Socrates became fascinated with

Comparing and Contrasting Hitchcock and Spielberg
The unblinking eye means so much for so many reasons to a person such as Steven Spielberg or Alfred Hitchcock.

Cuban Women
As research on women has progressed, we have learned that there is no uniform relationship between level of economic development and women's labor force participation. We have also discovered that women have not been and are not as passive and subservient to men as cultural constructs, literature, and discourse convey. Although women in the 19th century worked, like 20th century women in most of the world, they earned less than men. The feminization of poverty
