Abstract
The paper examines the issue of drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from an environmental standpoint and discusses the harm greenhouse gases cause. The paper discusses how drilling would cause irreparable damage to animals and the wilderness, especially considering the relatively small amount of oil that is available in the area. The paper looks at the arguments of proponents of drilling but strongly disagrees with their view. The paper maintains that the country should be aggressively developing alternative fuels that will be cleaner and more economic.

From the Paper
"Proponents of drilling in the area note the 1002 area, where drilling would occur, is just a small area of the entire Refuge, and that wildlife in the area will not be harmed by drilling in so small an area. Americans now know how dangerous greenhouse gases from fossil fuels can be, and alternative energy sources are what the country should be investigating now, rather than more dependence on national (or foreign) oil. Drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a stopgap measure at best, and ruining one of America's last pristine wilderness areas is not worth the cost of a few barrels of oil."

Abstract
The paper looks at the support provided by two alternative high schools in Milwaukee, specifically, Assata and Grandview high schools. The paper then looks at general research on alternative schools. The paper concludes that if Milwaukee's alternative school teachers and administrators can match the positive values that are illustrated in updated surveys of the best alternative schools in the nation they will be doing a wonderful job for students in Milwaukee.

Outline:
Milwaukee Alternative Schools
Research on Behavior Reassignment Schools

From the Paper
"The emphasis at Assata clearly is directed towards African American students - an "African centered cultural environment" - with staff that are "sensitive" and "familiar with multiple pedagogical methods necessary to enable learning and personal development" (MPS). The precise reasons for students being assigned to Assata are not listed in the school's profile, but this school is clearly beneficial to at risk students whose families back them up, and who really desire to get a high school education.
"Benefits for Assata students include: a) involvement with outreach programs like Habitat for Humanity; b) counseling and guidance; c) technology-assisted educational curriculum; d) drug and alcohol abuse education programs; e) before and after school tutoring; f) parenting programs; g) sports participation (basketball, football) in collaboration with nearby high schools; h) programs for students with "special needs"; and i) career counseling (MPS)."

Abstract
The paper relates that the article "Reading at Risk" is a report on a survey conducted by the US Census Bureau in 2002 at the request of the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA). The paper explains that the survey reported on investigates how many adults over the age of 18 who have attended an artistic performance, visited a museum, watched a broadcast of an art program and/or read literature. The survey had a 17,000 individual population. The Census Bureau conducted the most comprehensive poll focused on literature and art ever documented ("Reading At Risk: A Survey of Literary Reading in America", 2004).

Abstract
According to the author of this paper, the pursuit of cooperation and peace in the international system is an unending quest. In the paper, he states that there seems to constantly be a threat of the breakout of war in at least some part of the world but that, after the Cold War and with globalization seemingly shrinking the size of the world, the threat of the outbreak of war has lessened. His premise is that globalization and the deepening of interdependence among the societies of the world, has been the main contributor to this increase in peace. The paper attempts to prove this premise.

From the Paper
"Realist theorists also disagree with the idea that the cooperation globalization provides brings peace. Realists believe "laissez-faire competition among states striving to maximize their national power yields an international equilibrium, which ensures everyone's survival by checking hegemonic ambitions." (Kegley and Raymond, 204). This unregulated competition between states, realists argue, forces states to create alliances to protect themselves. It is these alliances that bring peace to the international system, not cooperation. With the constant balancing of alliances, countries are able to keep each other in check, which provides the much needed cooperation in the international system. The cooperation that globalization provides produces nothing more than interactions between states, surely not peace."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that as the most under-reported form of child maltreatment, sexual abuse is an ever-increasing problem. The writer points out that child sexual abuse is not limited to any one geographical area, culture, or society; in fact, it is a global pandemic with children of all races and nationalities at risk for abuse. The writer maintains that every researcher mentioned in this paper would quickly agree that child sexual abuse is a very real and terrible social problem with many negative consequences, and that education appears to be the key factor when it comes to preventing child sexual abuse. The paper's research and studies all reveal that child sexual abuse occurs more frequently than one would assume and that it often goes under-reported, if reported at all. The writer concludes that, unfortunately, there is no clear-cut method for eliminating child sexual abuse, except perhaps through greatly altering the attitudes and motives of those individuals responsible for the abuse.

From the Paper
"Child sexual abuse is perhaps the most deplorable type of abuse, and as the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry explains, child sexual abuse can occur ''within a family, by a parent, a step-parent, a sibling or some other relative (''Child Sexual Abuse,'' 2008, Internet). In addition, abuse can occur outside of the family and often involves a neighbor, a friend, a childcare individual, a teacher, or even a stranger (''Child Sexual Abuse,'' 2008, Internet), and once sexually abused, a child often develops a range of thoughts, distressing feelings, and behaviors (''Child Sexual Abuse,'' 2008, Internet) which can affect the child for the remainder of his/her lifetime.
"As the most under-reported form of child maltreatment, sexual abuse is an ever-increasing problem. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, only 1% to 10% of child sexual abuse incidences are ever reported, and in a study conducted by the Department of Health and Human Services (1986 to 1993), cases of child sexual abuse and neglect almost doubled, with numbers ranging between 1.4 million and 2.8 million cases (''Darkness to Light,'' 2008, Internet)."

Abstract
This paper examines the Public Health Agency of Canada's "Best Practices Portal for Health Promotion and Chronic Disease", a program that is aimed at prevention. The paper also includes references to broader critique of best practices concept in all medicine, health planning and thought on planning, as well as the risks of Internet sources and the critical factor of WHO adjudicates materials recommended. The concept of a national and standardized public health agenda and its promises are also questioned.

From the Paper
"This report of the Public Health Agency of Canada (2006) offers an explanation of the Canadian Best Practices Portal for Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention, an impressive phenomenon when one remembers a vast Canadian area of health providers contending with diverse population groups in several provincial systems. The reader sees the achievement to which the authors refer but will have many questions about what is being..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the United Nation's need to change or risk being a useless organization. It looks at how the basic philosophy of the United Nations is anti-American and how the United Nations is biased toward the countries that are anti-communist. In addition, the link between rogue states, terrorism, and terrorist leaders with the United Nations is discussed, showing that the United Nations supports terrorists in some ways. The fact that the United Nations has failed to prevent and has provoked more than one hundred wars throughout the world since its inception is also shown in the report. This report also looks at the United Nations charter and how it misleads one to believe that it is advocating peace when, in fact, it is a blueprint for war. A final subject examined by this report is the different actions that can be taken to improve the idea of the United Nations, as well as the organization as a whole.

The UN Was Founded by Communists
The UN's Basic Anti-American Philosophy
All General Secretaries of the UN Have Been Socialist One-Worlders
The United Nations Supports Terrorists
The United Nations Does Not Settle Disputes
The United Nations is Really a War Organization
Proposal
Changing from the Charter Up
Reforming the Security Council
Noble Efforts, Futile Actions
A United Nations to Serve ALL not ONE

From the Paper
"Here is a trivia question. Are the following events promoting peace and freedom? The year is 1961 in Belgium's former colony in Africa known as the Belgian Congo. Belgium had granted independence to its colony. A Moscow-trained communist named Patrice Lumumba Gained control of the newly formed government. Lumumba and his communist allies immediately began a brutal consolidation of power. In response, Moise Tshombe, the pro-Western, anti-communist black leader of the Congo's province of Katanga, seceded and declared his region an independent nation."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"India has also worked hard to develop the high-tech sectors of its business, providing tax benefits and free federal education and state grants for information technology courses. This, combined with the cheaper labor in India compared to most Western nations, has made India a huge software outsourcing sector. Of course, Indian companies also offer a variety of call center services and other outsourcing, but the bread and butter of the industry has always been software development."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the threat the new national security regime poses to Canadians. In particular, the writer reviews the Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Agency of Canada (PSEPC) and looks also at the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) with an "eye" towards assessing the ways in which these organizations can be said to be infringing upon the privacy of Canadians and whether this infringement is justifiable. In addition, the writer looks at the Canadian Constitution and how the new security regime has the potential to derogate section 7 and 8 privacy guarantees unless Canadian judges are vigilant in ensuring that the reasons for any surveillance are compelling and satisfy the "reasonable limitations" standard established in section 1 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In the end, the writer agrees with Michael Powers that the new security regime bears with it certain undeniable risks to privacy protections.
