Abstract
This paper discusses the Ben Stein documentary that discusses Intelligent Design, and how it's being seemingly railroaded and silenced by higher powers. The paper talks about how the first amendment directly comes into play with this film, and how perhaps "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" should be thankful of it.

From the Paper
"Though the documentary "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" makes a big fuss over the protection of the first amendment, it really focuses its attacks on the academic community, and not the government itself. Though nobody would disagree with the links between government, big business, academia and other large conventions that have been standardized (and perhaps taken for granted) over our nation's history, the director of "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" Nathan Frankowski seems to be directing his attacks at some strange, abstracted, conglomerated view of "the authority," and this comes in many forms: the touters of Evolutionary..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that not all individuals are allowed to fully exercise their freedom in the United States of America. Through the decades, increased freedom and equality have been established for women, African Americans, immigrants, children, and more recently homosexuals. The writer discusses that although the United States has grown tremendously from its original suppressive ways, complete equality has still not been achieved. An issue that is not often in the spotlight is gay and lesbian adoption of children. A clear lack of freedom is present for these individuals. The writer argues that finding and implementing a solution to satisfy this freedom will bring the United States of America a large step closer to full equality.

From the Paper
"Fact is that the states forbidding the adoption of children to homosexual couples and individuals have no reason for the prohibition. Implementing a policy where all states would be required to allow gay and lesbian adoptions would be ideal, though not realistically feasible. Justification for the exclusion of gay and lesbian adoption should be mandatory for each state that decides to do so. With this idea, each state will continue to have its own freedom without being restricted to obey an overarching Federal law. If these states are set on their law of banning same-sex adoption of children, then just reasoning should be present. If no explanation is available, the validity of the law itself should absolutely be questioned. Preventing states from prohibiting same-sex adoptions is at the moment an unrealistic goal, especially considering the sizeable conflict and debate over the thought of homosexuality itself. I believe the states that completely rule out homosexual adoption and other who considers sexual orientation in the adoption process will have extreme difficulty in finding justification for their decision. The most common grounds for argument against homosexuality are based off of religious beliefs. With this is mind, it will be especially difficult to maintain a separation of church and state."

Abstract
Homework should be assigned to inspire active learning inside and outside of the classroom. Homework allows students to become responsible, active learners in the teaching and learning process. It also provides students with opportunities to practice, review, and apply knowledge (Hill & Flynn). Teachers simply need to be clear and concise when assigning homework.

From the Paper
What Are The Most Important Factors A Teacher Should Consider When Assigning Homework? A teacher should consider numerous factors when assigning homework to his or her students. Each topic covered in class should come with requisite skill sets that need reinforcement via homework assignments. These homework assignments should be interesting, challenging, and familiar to the students. The assignments should be given according to a student's age and grade level. For example, a first grader should have 10 minutes of homework assigned daily while a ninth grader should have 90 minutes of homework assigned daily (Armani).

Abstract
The National Children's Literacy organization states: "More than any other single skill, the ability to read - and read well - allows a child to succeed in school, learn about the world, function in society, and someday have good job options" ("National", n.d., para. 1). However, in many cases it is known that "children associate reading with work" and this reduces their interest and practice of reading ("National", n.d., sec. 2). Consequently the reading skills of the student decrease and their desire to learn through reading is erased. For this reason projects to promote reading an increase the student's motivation to read are significant for modern school systems.

Abstract
In this paper, the variables of colonial surveillance found in Mitchell's analysis of British policy in Egypt, allows for other aspects of surveillance that involved the ideology of self governing and the penal systems brought forth by the British colonial system. By creating a penal system that constantly criminalized the local populations, a surveillance system could be validated to control Egyptians who denied British rule.

Abstract
Transformational leadership best equips the nurse leader of the future because is allows leaders to bring about change without expending large amounts of effort to overcome the inertia inherent in getting any group to change. With the "big picture" chosen as being in the best interests of both team members and the institution, the transformational leader no longer faces obstacles.

From the Paper
Transformational Leadership Leadership in a profession is a vital function that must always be addressed. It is the means by which a profession, or any organized group for that matter, hopes to achieve progress in its own development or in its service towards others. Leadership is in ways the art of directing other professional members in order to accomplish a mission. Whether it is one that possesses relative insignificance such as heading up a unit in a community to leading the population of nurses nationally towards a vision of having a profession assert itself politically after many years of being neglected by the government in terms of solid policies, leadership in

Abstract
This paper compares the different female characters portrayed in three movies and looks at how each character goes against what is expected of women in society. The three movies, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", "All That Heaven Allows" and "Far From Heaven" show women acting against the conventions of society, looks at examples of female bonding in the film and discusses the French film "Choas" in terms of female bonding.

From the Paper
"The female protagonist in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" is quite different from those in "All That Heaven Allows" and "Far From Heaven", yet all three exemplify unruly women who go against the norms of their respective societies, especially the expected or proscribed behavior of women. The three women in these films choose to redefine their traditional roles and, in so doing, they break female stereotypes. The musical comedy, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", features Marilyn Monroe as the traditional, beautiful, sexy but dumb blonde, Lorelei Lee. Contrary to her innocent looks..."

Abstract
Discusses issue raised by Kushner as to why an all-powerful God allows suffering. Book's premise is that although the author believes in God, he has been forced by personal tragedies to rethink everything he learned about God. Discusses story of Job. Kushner contends that even when hard times strike, one should not give up faith in God, and that the victim should not be blamed for his fate.

From the Paper
"Howard Kushner, the author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People, is a rabbi in New York, but as he notes in his introduction, his book is not intended as an abstract theological discussion or even as something confined to only one religious point of view. The author states at the outset that he "believes in god and in the goodness of the world" (1) but that he has been forced by tragedies faced in his own life "to rethink everything he had been taught about God and God's ways" (1). The issue he raises in the title is an ancient problem--since God is all-powerful, why does He allow the suffering we see all around us? Why do these things happen to people who are good, who accept God, and who follow his ways?


The specific impetus for the writing of this book was the fact that the author's three-year-old son, Aaron, was diagnosed..."

From the Paper
"The S-CHIP program has been very successful in helping solve one aspect of the healthcare problem, by providing health insurance to financially disadvantaged children who live above the poverty line. In states with vigorous S-CHIP programs, a huge number of people take advantage of S-CHIP. Other states do not pursue S-CHIP with the same vigor, and have reduced S-CHIP participation. However, every state but Tennessee shows significant numbers of children being assisted by the S-CHIP program. Moreover, state governors and legislators are very supportive of the S-CHIP program, because they have seen the real differences it has made in healthcare access for the financially disadvantaged. In fact, many states have sought to expand their state's S-CHIP eligibility requirements, because of the public response to S-CHIP availability. It is clear that S-CHIP has met its legislative goals and should be continued."
