Abstract
This paper is about the effects of child abuse and discusses various aspects in detail, as well as discussing possible causes. The author looks at how society needs to focus on warning signs, the behavior of abused children, and the special attention that mistreated children need. The paper pays close attention to social, psychological, and physical disorders that affect abused children.

From the Paper
"Children from the ages of twelve to seventeen years of age experience more than twice the violent crime as adults in America . Horrifying cases of abuse and neglect have flooded the media, which have caused great concern by public interest groups and politicians. The greatest concerns most have are the effects these terrible crimes have on our youth. David Finkelhor, a sociologist at the University of New Hampshire , believes that we know too little about child abuse and what damage it may cause. He contends that if we better understood the effects of child victimization, we would be more able to identify and prevent it."

Abstract
The main points in this paper are to identify the sources of water pollution and reveal the effect on surrounding environments. The author looks at industrial impacts on water pollution and examines what the future might look like if these are not tackled.

From the Paper
"The end is just around the corner for many fish species due to water pollution. Water pollution is a dilemma that needs to be taken care of soon. Polluting of streams, ponds and lakes is leading to definite problems with fish populations. Most people don't even realize the things they do everyday that contributes to water pollution. A plethora of daily activities, like driving, walking the dog and washing clothes, are the reasons that most of our freshwater resources are contaminated."

Abstract
This paper studies the political, social, and economic factors that brought on the great depression in 1929 in the United States. It gives a historical overview of the situation before the outbreak of the great depression and the part that World War I played in causing it. The author feels that many people believe that the stock market crash of 1929 caused the great depression, but this is not true. He also finds that many people believed that President Roosevelt's New Deal ended the great depression, but this is also not completely factual. According to the author, historical facts show that the stock market crash was the beginning of the great depression but that political, social, and economic problems were the real causes. Also, historical evidence shows that The New Deal helped the recovery but that the United States' entry into World War II was the main reason that the great depression ended.

Abstract
This paper examines the after-effects of the September 11th attacks and how these have influenced the American population. The writer looks at the economic impact, the social impact and the change in the national attitude to the United States.

From the Paper
"The impact of the attacks on the United States has been far reaching and has touched all Americans in some way. Life as we knew it prior to the attacks was changed forever on that morning in profound ways that mean losses for nearly everyone, with the exception of those standing to profit from "war." While the attack resulted in loss of life for some, others lost their jobs, incomes and homes. Travelers have lost the ease of travel that was once enjoyed in the United States. Many, it seems, have lost their rights to freedom of speech as established in the U.S. Constitution. In short, America lost its sense of innocence and its identity on that day. "

Suicide is the sixth leading cause of death in the ages of 5-14 years old! We see the media covering different areas about teenage suicide. Some of us may wonder what exactly caused those teens to go and end their life. What can we do to prevent the suicide rates to increase and help decrease it?"

From the Paper
"Childhood obesity is a serious public health problem in the United States. Not only does excess weight lead to medical and psychosocial disorders in children, there is a strong link between childhood obesity and adult obesity. Exacerbating the problem are trends in eating patterns favoring more and more convenience foods, of which fast foods are the most harmful. Fast foods are high in fat, sodium, and sugar while low in essential nutrients. The consumption of fast foods has had a direct impact on the increase in childhood obesity among American youth.
Obesity in children is defined by how much the child exceeds the recommended weight for his or her age, sex, and height. Generally, a child is mildly to somewhat overweight if he or she is up to 20 percent above this recommended weight."

Abstract
This research paper argues that global warming is a very real threat to the earth. The paper gives scientific evidence, shows examples of global warming?s effects today, and looks at ways that disaster can be prevented.

From the Paper
"One of the hottest topics in the United States is the issue of global warming. This issue, once discounted and ridiculed as the wild imaginings of over enthusiastic environmentalists and "tree lovers," is now being taken seriously by scientists, politicians, business leaders, and the American environmentalist community. Environmental scientists have been trying to warn these groups that our continued use of coal and petroleum products, as well as established business practices such as dumping industrial wastes into the air and waterways, would be the cause of a natural phenomena called the greenhouse effect, or global warming. Now, when the earth's biosphere is obviously suffering adverse ecological effects from a century of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane emissions, it is apparent to even the most skeptical anti-environmentalists that global warming is real."

From the Paper
"Long ago were the days when there were more intact marriages than divorce. In today's society, divorce is as common as catching a cold. Unfortunately, divorce is often followed with negative effects. Some people end their marriage amicably while others end up in messy court battles. However, divorce can be damaging when children are involved. Children are often the innocent victims of custody battles, witnesses to parental fighting, and subject to a rearranged, single-parent household. Children of divorced parents may experience anger, withdrawal, rebellion and sometimes even poor academic performance."

Abstract
This paper discusses the impact of September 11 tragedy on the economic conditions of the United States. The author examines how the economy, which had showed a dismal performance for three consecutive quarters before September, completely collapsed when the disaster struck as consumer spending decreased with lower purchasing power, investment and borrowing declined, all industries reported lower profits and there was an alarming increase in unemployment. The paper also briefly discusses the condition of the airline industry after the tragic events of 9/11.

From the paper:

"The United States economy had already been predicted to go into recession when the tragedy of September 11 struck and accelerated the downward spiral of economic conditions of our country. . The economy crumpled as many industries in the country were hit harshly by the attacks and the slow down finally took shape of recession. After three quarters of poor GDP growth, it was almost certain that the economy was heading towards recession but September 11th attacks only accelerated the negative process. The government has been unable to generate enough Consumer-spending despite several announcements of tax cuts, which are aimed at giving people more purchasing power. Money supply and demand in the market is insufficient to tempt businessmen to increase production."
