David Lowenthal's "The Heritage Crusade And The Spoils Of History"
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. David Lowenthal's primary objective in "The Heritage Crusade and the Spoils of History" is to illustrate the inherent separation, as well as the inextricable cohesion, of heritage, history and contemporary society. The author strives to enlighten his readers to the inadequacies of conventional thought pertaining to heritage, noting that while heritage is, indeed, interwoven with history, it is also reinvented throughout modern-day society by way of new icons, such as Disney World and other pertinent symbols of the twentieth century.

David Miller's On Nationality
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing Miller's primary premise in this book,
which is that nationality provides a valid frame of reference for individuals. Arguments against
Miller's statements can be found in the reading of nearly every paragraph of the book, but none
hold up under great scrutiny. The only conclusion that can be made with expectation of being
valid is that Miller is correct in his position. The paper discusses US reaction to the attack on
Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the likelihood of Europe achieving the state of the European nation.

Deep Ecology Versus Social Ecology
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Murray Bookchin and Bill Devall reside at opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to the fundamental nature of ecological issues; while Bookchin supports the essence of social ecology, Devall espouses the benefits of its opposing counterpart, deep ecology. The two men have agreed to meet on this spring day within the wide, open spaces of the city park in order to debate the merits of each stance. Clearly, their objective is not to draw each other to the opposing side, but rather it is meant as a means by which to establish their individual positions so that no point is left unaddressed or question left unanswered. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Deviance
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. To stray from the norm is to deviate from socially acceptable behavior; when one is deviant, he goes against the very essence of what society has deemed acceptable. One of the easiest things in life is to deviate from what is considered by the masses to be normal; in fact, Morpheus points out that it is often considerably more difficult to remain upon a straight and narrow path with the myriad obstacles that appear in daily life. It can readily be argued that deviant behavior has found its niche within contemporary society, even to the point of infiltrating what is considered to be a standard of normalcy. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Deviance and Society: Different Interpretations for Different Contexts
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the labeling theory of deviance, the tendency of society to place labels on individuals on the basis of them not belonging to the group doing the labeling. Ties together the self-fulfilling prophesy of Thomas Merton, the interactionist perspective of E. Goffman, the theories of H.S. Becker that social groups create deviance by making the rules whose infraction constitutes deviance, and the philosophies of Emile Durkheim that extreme economic variation results in deviance labeling. Equates these theories to power differentials in which gender, class, ethnicity, and economics all play a role in perpetuating deviance. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
