Abstract
This paper examines the value of foreign aid programs, which has always been debated, for providing foreign aid to underdeveloped countries is a process that is far from perfect. Upon examining all of the pertinent issues and choosing a position to support, this paper shows that reciprocity should influence decisions involving foreign aid assistance to Cambodia, even though this may reduce the humanitarian benefits of foreign aid and harm the innocent along with the guilty. But realistic assessments must prevail, for throwing money at problems is not a solution and never has been.

"The value of foreign aid programs has always been debated, for providing foreign aid to underdeveloped countries is a process that is far from perfect. Upon examining all of the pertinent issues and choosing a position to support, it is evident that reciprocity should influence decisions involving foreign aid assistance to Cambodia, even though this may reduce the humanitarian benefits of foreign aid and harm the innocent along with the guilty. But realistic assessments must prevail, for throwing money at problems is not a solution and never has been. (Johnson) Idealistic proponents of foreign aid contend that American foreign aid to the Cambodian government is not the problem, administering it is the problem."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that every workplace environment, regardless of the amount of hazards or type of environment, should have a basic first aid, CPR and blood born pathogen training program or, at the very least, an emergency response plan. The writer maintains that the benefits and needs for proper employee training and precautions in such areas as first aid, CPR and blood borne pathogen protection are essential in today's business world. Not only may such training save a life, it will ensure that all employees are properly protected and, if all standards are properly followed, may protect the employer from potential areas of liability. The writer concludes that for this reason, all employers should, at a minimum, offer its employees a basic course in first aid and CPR.

From the Paper
"Cariopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is an emergency first procedure used on a victim of cardiac arrest. Although CPR is part of the emergency medical provider's chain of survival, which includes early access to emergency medical services, early CPR, early defibrillation and early advanced care, it is a procedure that can be performed by laypersons. In fact, because CPR is such a vital component in saving a person's lives, it is highly advised that all people become fully trained in CPR procedures. This is especially true in the workplace setting.
"CPR is a skill that must be learned from professional training and through regular practice and review courses. Typically training involves hands-on practice using a resuscitation mannequin. Like all first aid procedures, CPR is a skill that should be learned at the beginning of an employment relationship and not as a reaction to an employment emergency situation. Because CPR is such a specific procedure, it is best if it is taught by an expert, which will allow the person to perform CPR in an effective and safe manner."

From the Paper
"During the past 20 years, however, federal financial aid has veered from awarding grants. Loans, rather than grants, totaled 45% of federal student aid in 1981. Fifty-eight percent of federal aid to students was loan form during 2000. During the 1999-2000 academic year, more than one half of America's 16.5 million higher education students received some type of financial aid from federal, state, institutional, or other sources. Of this number, forty-four percent of undergraduates received grants, which averaged $3,500, while 29% of these students secured student loans, which averaged $5,100. (Camara & Kimmel, 2005, p. 45)"

Abstract
This paper discusses Canada's involvement in foreign aid. The Canadian International Development Agency is discussed in terms of what its purpose is and how it is involved in foreign aid development and spending. Controversies surrounding spending habits are examined in this article, particularly in light of the recent issues with unjustifiable spending habits on the Sponsorship program.

From the Paper
"Although the triumph of democracy post cold war helped trigger the global economic boom, developing democracies have benefited least from trade and investment. It is crucial for the international donor community to address potential problems of new policies for promoting democratization of developing countries, otherwise risk losing financial and strategic investments between donors and under-developed countries. The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) values social justice, peace, and humanitarianism. CIDA was established in 1968 and has maintained a steady stream of public support in their effort to help the less fortunate."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the main goals of TANF. TANF is a federal grant program intended to make significant reforms to the U.S. Welfare system by converting traditional welfare into a program of temporary assistance. The writer contends and explains why the TANF is an important transformation in welfare policy. This paper details the various ways in which the TANF aids low-income families. The TANF encourages the creation and maintenance of two-parent families as well as offering aid to families in order to end their dependency on the government. The TANF offers assistance in obtaining long-term employment, while also educating single women on the pitfalls of having children outside of marriage. The writer details the TANF's eligibility requirements, which depends on income, assets, marital status and the number of minor children in the household. This paper examines the views and opinions of those for and against welfare reform and the TANF program. This paper contains a table which lists state-wide TANF recipients over a span of seven years. The writer also presents a graph that illustrates the percentage of the U.S. population on welfare.

From the Paper
"TANF was enacted following a bitter debate regarding the characteristics of welfare dependency and the possible impact of culminating the welfare privilege and laying importance on work as an alternative. The conservatives were confirmed as correct that the welfare system itself led to dependence and that several welfare mothers as an alternative measure could hold down jobs or depend on others for help. A work supportive welfare system of narrow, short-term help efficiently took off several mothers off welfare. On a more basic note, the massive decline on dependency on welfare and the growth in work does not appear to have considerably modified the lives of these families. Prior to TANF, state leaders, the conservatives included, also stayed aloof from workforce program due to the expenses and administrative challenges concerned and the political disagreement they produced."

This paper analyzes the motivations of U.S. legislatures in authorizing and appropriating billions of dollars in foreign aid to Israel and Egypt. The paper critiques this policy, particularly the assistance to Israel, calling it an unethical policy that exhibits bias favoring the Jewish state.

Abstract
This short examination into Christian Aid sheds some light on how this organization goes about lessening the risks to many of these countries. It explains how it employs a proactive plan that attacks the roots of a given society, instead of a more reactive plan that is based around the production of high priced country studies that only report the damage and are not taking action to change the factors which are resulting in high reported risk for many of these countries.

From the Paper
"Is risk in fact always "probability-centered" as posed by Vertzberger, or can some organizations affect change to bring about more definite and fair calculations? Christian Aid, a humanitarian organization that works in over 50 countries around the world towards improving the quality of life with special attention towards the problems of poverty and injustice is one that is deeply rooted in the political risk industry. Typically, it might be considered less important in the risk industry than the major players like the International Institute of Strategic Studies, but because Christian Aid tackles the root of the risk that is present in many of these underdeveloped countries, I suggest their role is much more integral in the prevention of these risks."

Abstract
This paper presents a discussion about the American intervention to stop slavery in Sudan. It discusses American interests from an outside standpoint and examines whether the American rescue efforts around the world are really for the betterment of the world or for power and monetary gain of the United States. It discusses the motivation behind American foreign aid in general, and specifically examines their actions in Sudan.

From the Paper
"Around the world, America is known for its willingness to jump into the fray in the name of freedom and human rights. If a nation's people is having wrongs committed against it the United States is usually the first to send help, money, troops and any other assistance needed to restore the basic human freedoms that we believe are an inaliable right. When one looks things over from a purely informational standpoint it appears that America is the hero for human rights (Chaddock pp 2). However, if one peels off the top layer and examines the underpinnings of the issue one will find that America often champions the rights of those who can in turn help America with power, land advantage or money. America may not be as magnanimous as it tries to appear and it may be self serving need that drives it to stand up for others around the globe. Numbers of those seized and sold into slavery top 10,000 in some estimates (Chaddock pp 2). They are women and children as well as men and the atrocities committed against them are inhuman."
