A Consideration of “Aboriginality”
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper in which the author approaches the term “aboriginality” with the contention that the term has been defined not only by the Aboriginal peoples themselves but by those cultures who invaded Australian shores and ultimately came to dominate the land and the people. The problem which is inherent in an English definition of “aboriginality” is that such definitions typically fail to take into account the fact that aboriginal culture, like all cultures, is an ever-evolving phenomena. An equally important problem results in that the definition of the term “aboriginality” tends to continually evolve in accordance with the degree of economic and political pressure the aborigine peoples represent to the dominant culture.

A Liberal Marxist’s View of Internet Gambling
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses international Internet gambling in the context of thinking exercised by a liberal Marxist. The traditional Marxist viewpoint follows the original thinking of Karl Marx that all events in human society are determined by economic forces. Marx’s ultimate goal was to liberate the world from the evil of acquisitive materialism and lead the human race to a new freedom. He saw humans as unable to overcome greed. And certainly, greed plays an important role in gambling. Therefore, a liberal Marxist is likely to find him/herself in the unusual position of siding with ultra-conservatives and the religious right regarding international Internet gambling.
