Women As Priests ?
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper on the controversial issue of womens' ordination. The writer is particularly concerned with the impact that mid-1990's statement made by Pope John Paul II had on the topic ('I declare that the church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the church's faithful'). The discussion continues with the views of other clergy, disparate opinions from different sects of the religion, and so forth. It is concluded that if there is truly some religious reason for barring women from the priesthood, it has not been effectively articulated as of yet and thus, women should be ordained--even though this will not be widely-accepted anytime soon. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

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.

Archetypal Woman
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper comparing 'Medea' with Penelope in 'The Odyssey.' The writer posits and shows that while Penelope is the 'little woman,' true to the image of a loving, dedicated wife, Medea represents the opposite in Euripides' play. Both of these are important to religious and cultural myths. However, even with these diverse purposes, the authors guarantee the image of the fall as it relates to women so that the myth of womanhood is carried through. Bibliography lists the 2 original sources.
