Is Marxian Communism a Religion?
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing whether or not Marxian Communism can be considered a religion in itself. Marxian Communism was considered a functional alternative to the society in which the oppressed proletariat lived within the 1800s. The definition of religion includes aspects which are functional for society, in which Communism can fulfill; however, the definition of religion also includes a substantive or spiritual aspect which exists outside of the structure of society and reality which Communism cannot fulfill. For this reason, Marxian Communism can be considered religious in its dedication to its political ideals and the dedication of those who believe in its structure but cannot be consider a religion as it does not fulfill people’s spiritual needs.

JFK: Conspiracy or Tragedy?
[ send me this paper ]
(10 pp) This November 22 will mark the 35th anniversary of the slaying of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. And as the memories return for some, the cottage industry that endlessly theorizes about the "truth" behind Kennedy's death will continue to do battle against the stodgy "Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone" establishment on a scale bordering King Kong and the airplane. I personally support the tragedy - one gun, one crazed killer theory. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

John Locke/Second Treatise
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that discusses Locke's purpose in writing his Second Treatise on Government. In his preface, Locke expresses his intention to justify the rule of King William and disprove the philosophy of Robert Filmer. In his Second Treatise, Locke succeeds in his purpose, showing that government whose sovereignty derives form the consent of the governed need not lay a foundation for perpetual "Disorder and Mischief, Tumult, Sedition and Rebellion" (Locke, 1998). He achieves this purpose largely through his logical commentary, which distinguishes between a State of Nature (SN) and a State of War (SW). Bibliography lists 2 sources.
