Abstract
This paper discusses Stalinist socialism in terms of the the phrase "revolution from above". The paper looks at how Stalinist socialism differed from the Marxist ideal, discusses Stalin's first Five-Year Plan and examines his political and economic agenda.

From the Paper
"Ronald Suny argues in "The Soviet Experiment" that Stalinist socialism meant collectivization, industrialization, urbanization and a welfare system for working people all implemented and managed by a state directed by the Communist Party with no reliance on capitalism or free market forces. Stalinist socialism envisioned that the state would impose the socialist revolution upon the ordinary people and the economy. Such a revolution differed from the Marxist ideal which envisioned that the ordinary people would themselves become the state as the state..."

Abstract
This essay reviews James Skolnick's and James Fyfe's "Above the Law: Police and the Excessive Use of Force". It discusses the authors' examination of police excessive force and police brutality. In their view, the answer to this problem lies in better accountability. The paper adds a sociological perspective, arguing that police excessive force is related to the phenomenon of social control. The existence of prisons, for instance, necessitate police excessive force, since social elites have a need to criminalize a certain portion of the population.

Abstract
Joseph Stalin set out to change the strictly agricultural Russia into an industrially powerful nation. In November 1927, Stalin launched his "revolution from above" by setting two extraordinary goals for Soviet domestic policy: rapid industrialization and collectivization of agriculture. This papers examines the effects of Stalin's Five-Year Plans. It shows that although Russia reached new economic and industrial levels and became more modernized, Stalin was a brutal, single minded dictator who exploited the workers, allowed millions to die in slave labor and kept the populace in a constant state of fear and paranoia.

From the Paper
"Stalin focused particular hostility on the wealthier peasants, or kulaks. About one million kulak households were deported and never heard from again. Forced collectivization of the remaining peasants, which was often fiercely resisted, resulted in a disastrous disruption of agricultural productivity and a catastrophic famine in 1932-33. Although the First Five-Year Plan called for the collectivization of only twenty percent of peasant households, by 1940 approximately ninety-seven percent of all peasant households had been collectivized and private ownership of property almost entirely eliminated. Forced collectivization helped achieve Stalin's goal of rapid industrialization and modernization, but the human costs were incalculable.1"

Abstract
This paper looks at various legal institutions and laws throughout history and how they have been applied, if at all, to kings and rulers. It looks at the signing of the Magna Carta and how this represented, for the first time in history, a government passing a law requiring that it follow the law as well. The paper goes on to discuss how the Magna Carta became the inspiration for the Constitution of the United States of America.

From the Paper
"Different states and different times have seen widely varying views on the power of the executive, and the rights of the people. Most ancient nations subscribed to the opinion that the ruler was largely above the law. The concept varied somewhat, for example, in Egypt, the Pharaoh's every word constituted a new legal pronouncement, while in Mesopotamia, the King typically issued law codes that were seen as being the will of the gods. Thus, in the lands along the Tigris and Euphrates, there were some limits to royal authority in so far as both king and subject were ultimately bound by the same commandments, but still, interpretation of the divine will lay in the hands of the King, for it was he who was normally high priest of the gods. Later, in certain Greek city states, such as Athens, the entire population of free men was held to constitute the government."

Abstract
This paper is a personal examination of the author's faith in God as a Christian, a mother, and a nurse. It discusses how, in order to cope with the immense responsibility on her shoulders, the author requires some form of divine help in order to make things work. It focuses on her career as a nurse and looks at how the field of nursing has certainly benefited a great deal from better communication, as there is a far greater emphasis than there ever was on the building up of relationships between nurses and patients. It shows how this kind of relationship, from a Christian perspective, means that there is greater spiritual interaction between the nurses and their clients.

From the Paper
"In modern society people should act according to the need of the hour, taking into consideration the wishes of the individuals involved in particular issues. There are several issues today in the field of medicine that bother the religious people who believe in preserving life no matter what the situation is. There are many complex questions that emerge as a result, and develop into unbelievably debatable issues that have gone on for years, perhaps even decades. These debates do not only cease here, they go on to encompass other related issues, and the ball of twine keeps on getting more and more knotted."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the higher learning institutions available in the United States for the hearing impaired. It focuses on two schools--The National Technical Institute for the Deaf and Gallaudet University. It gives a history of the schools and discusses the many challenges they face today in providing top class education for a limited community.

From the Paper
"Although many colleges offer programs that cater to the deaf and hearing-impaired, there are few that exist to serve them almost exclusively. Two of the most widely known of education establishments for the deaf and hearing-impaired are The National Technical Institute for the Deaf and Gallaudet University. Of the 7889 full-time students and 3400 part-time students enrolled in The National Technical Institute for the Deaf in 1999, only 960 are full-time deaf students. In contrast, of the 1365 full-time students enrolled the same year at Gallaudet University, 1188 of those are deaf, and 138 of its 220 part-time students are deaf (Gallaudet Research Institute)."

Abstract
This paper examines the role of nature in William Wordsworth's poem "Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey" and the role of nature in Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem "Ode to the West Wind".

Abstract
This document is comprised of case studies of two autonomous robot projects, namely Frank Scott's Hexapod Robots, and MIT's Robot Ant Colony. Each case study describes the behaviour each robot exhibits, and technical information on how this behaviour is executed including mechanical parts, digital circuitry and programming techniques. The case studies are followed by a discussion of embodied cognition, and how the above robots' actions can be explained in terms of embodied cognition. It also discusses emergent phenomenon, both in nature and artificially intelligent robots.

From the Paper
"The Rodney series of robots refers to a group of three six-legged autonomous robots whose design is based upon Rodney Brooks' subsumption architecture. Rodney 3 is the most refined and recent robot. It supersedes both Rodney 1 & 2 and for this reason will be the focus of this summary. Rodney 3 is designed to operate in an environment featuring a slightly uneven surface that may be interrupted by many small obstacles and an occasional large obstacle, e.g. a pebbled track with the odd large stone or similar obstacle. The robot's task is to climb over the smaller objects, and to avoid objects that are too large to climb over. To achieve the climbing action, all six legs must be able to operate independently of each other. The robot travels forward in a straight line until a large object is encountered. To avoid the object, it must reverse a few steps, shift its direction and continue its forward motion."
