Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the object and substance of Immanuel Kant's 'Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics'. The writer notes that David Hume had declared metaphysics impossible, and Kant aims to recover this situation. The writer discusses that Kant concedes that final answers are impossible, yet metaphysics must still be engaged in order to lend structure and clarity to human thought. The essay goes on to outline Kant's efforts in this direction and his critique of pure reason.

From the Paper
"Just because the world is made intelligible, it does not imply that we do not meet contradiction. When we think we do so discursively, i.e. we think by making propositions in terms of subjects and predicates. But each subject we introduce is the predicate of another subject in an infinite chain. Because the absolute subject is beyond our grasp, discursive reason naturally leads to fallacies. In fact each truthful proposition will be found to have an equally valid refutation, which together is described as pairs of antimonies. Kant cites four cosmological antimonies, one of which places infinite space against a limited one. He goes on to show that there is no contradiction in essence. As originating in the judgment of perception space does indeed have a beginning. But as regards human understanding space is necessarily infinite. "

"The American Indian Movement (AIM) was an important militant group in the early 1970s. It was founded in Minneapolis in 1968 and was led by Dennis Banks and Russell Means. In November 1972, members of AIM drew attention to the plight of American Indians in modern times by taking over the headquarters of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington, D.C. A more dramatic statement was made during the period between February and May, 1973, when AIM occupied the town of Wounded Knee in the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota. After the Wounded Knee occupation, the United States government made a systematic and concerted effort to disband AIM and other organizations like it. Although the movement had come to an end by the mid-1970s, it had already made an important contribution to the development of Indian rights at that time. By bringing the attention of the American people to ... "

Abstract
The paper explains that criminology is the study of criminal behavior through a scientific means to seek a method for best diverting the mass society from committing criminal acts. The paper looks at various views of criminology, including those of Cesare Beccaria and Jeremy Bentham, Cesare Lombroso's notion of determinism, the Chicago School's view, the routine activities theory, the social disorganization theory and finally, Durkheim's ideas. The paper suggests that today, criminology should turn its focus toward the minority poor communities in seeking the root cause of the sentencing disparity prevalent in minority areas.

Summary and Conclusion

From the Paper
"The beginnings of criminology in the United States began with the founding fathers and the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution and is a theory relating to criminal behavior of individuals. The theoretical framework of criminology within this view is one that is straightforward and simple and states that the individual, upon having been informed of a specific penalty for the commission of a crime will inherently weigh the options. Measurement of the options is based upon the potential present and future pleasure weighed against the potential present and future pain for having committed the crime, been caught and punished. There have been various theories posited to attempt to pin down precisely the precise theoretical framework that identifies the method to fulfill the 'aim' of criminology, which is to 'speak truth to power'."

Abstract
All chronic illness produces an impact on quality of life which is subject to change and, in the case of stroke, the impact ranges from mild to severe. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that stroke is individualized while its impact also is highly varied. I will investigate the concept of quality of life and how it is impacted by chronic illness. I will also show how the impact is portrayed in the film The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. In certain cases of stroke such as the completely debilitating illness in the film, there should be no quality of life but stroke, in contrast to many other chronic illnesses, is one illness where quality of life is amenable.

Abstract
This paper examines why portfolio evaluation of children to determine their potential for higher education is detrimental. It can reduce the student to just another portfolio, it can handicap students that are not up to the competitiveness of portfolio making, and it can mar the actual strengths and weaknesses of the student through the information it presents.

From the Paper
"Portfolio assessment is a popular non-traditional method of evaluating and preparing children for their future. A portfolio itself can be thought of as a personal scrapbook or a visual window into the progress, activities and records of a student or individual. A portfolio was originally conceived of to showcase and "market" a human being to people or institutions for a variety of reasons be it a job, a degree or otherwise. Portfolios are used in education to build up the conceptual and visual accolades of a student, and are becoming more and more acceptable in terms..."

Abstract
This paper discusses and reviews Robert Byrd's book, "Losing America: Confronting a Reckless and Arrogant Presidency," which castigates the Bush Administration for its leadership and the problems that the country has experienced as a result of that leadership. The paper discusses the aims of the book and the points that it focuses on in order to educate the public on the issues the author raises.

From the Paper
"What Byrd is really doing in educating the public regarding things that are virtually well known and accepted as common knowledge of public opinion is forcing us to face the lingering realities from 911. It put an unqualified President in a position of unchecked political power and virtually unchecked executive freedom. The motives of the Bush Administration may be debated, but Byrd seeks in a deeper sense to historically and passionately spell out to the public the specific realities of 911 and the Bush Administration's relationship to it: clear personal benefit from manipulation of circumstance. The Bush Administration seized the liberties they inherited by being in power through happenstance during 911 to exploit the military and executive resources to for financial gain and neo-conservative ideology, which Byrd implies is not very far removed from pure financial gain in the retention of the riches by the ruling elite."

Abstract
The war aims of the belligerents in World War One are diverse and complex. This paper will consider them according to the following tripartite categorization: political, economic, and security issues. It will be shown that although the different belligerents may have differed in the emphasis each one placed on the different categories, they all shared essentially the same aims in the war: expression of nationalistic pride, the protection of national commerce, and the security of their nations against the belligerence of other states.
