Abstract
The book "Barbarous Mexico" is Kenneth Turner's account of his visits to Mexico from 1908 to 1910. Turner examines many issues, including slavery and poverty, and the negative effects of these issues on the Mexican community during the years that Porifio Diaz ruled. The paper shows that Turner is blunt with his association of the squalid Mexican conditions to Diaz; his book is a successful effort to prove a solid foundation for his claims. The paper explains that it is Turner's contention that no man can rule an unwilling people without taking away the liberties of those people, therefore, it can be very easily understood what sort of government Diaz found necessary to establish in order to secure his power. The paper concludes that "Barbarous Mexico" is an important piece of literature because it represents a perspective from one segment of society that is often neglected.

From the Paper
"Perhaps one of the most telling attributes of "Barbarous Mexico" is the close ties the United States had in the Diaz regime. In Turner's opinion, the United States was responsible for the prolonged abuse of slavery. In fact, Turner suggests that the United States was Diaz's largest monetary partners. The support Diaz received from foreign counties made Diaz's government international, according to Turner. Thus, foreign intervention in favor of the people was less likely. That fact alone, says Turner, was one of the most powerful forces that prevented the Mexican people from ever revolting against Diaz. (Turner 137) In addition, Turner illustrates that even though Mexico was becoming more modern under the leadership of Diaz, it still operated backward in regards to other Latin American countries. Turner explains that when it came to progressive moves relating to governments, Diaz was slow to change; however, when it came to opportunities for gaining capitol, he was quick to act."

Abstract
This paper looks at the Nanking-related atrocities and the relationship between the individual soldier and the government in terms of responsibilities assigned for the bloodshed. The writer asserts that the 1937 Japanese slaughter of upwards of 300,000 Chinese in Nanking, China, was as atrocious, savage and bloody as practically any event leading up to and during WWII including the Holocaust by the Nazis. The writer concludes that the responsibility for these atrocities should be accepted by the military leaders but each individual soldier, who was out of control in a savage bloodthirsty rage, also must be held accountable.

From the Paper
"The biggest mass killing was carried out in Nanking on December 17, 1937, when the Chinese began slaughtering Chinese prisoners by the thousands. The 66th Battalion of Japanese received this command: "All prisoners of war are to be executed. Method of execution: Divide the prisoners into groups of a dozen. Shoot to kill separately."
"It is known that 14,777 Chinese soldiers had been captured by the Japanese, and of those, a majority was believed to have been killed on the 17th."

Abstract
In this article, the writer identifies what risks or benefits exist for African women who undergo female genital cutting in the twenty first century. A review of the history and key terminology establishes a base knowledge on the subject, followed by a discussion of the religious/cultural, social, physical, and political significance. This paper reviews existing literature on female genital cutting, with preference for essays and research conducted after the year 2000. Discussion identifies what perceived risks and benefits exist for women undergoing female genital cutting in the twenty first century according to existing research and accounts. The writer discusses whether current modern conditions make the procedure an acceptable risk to maintain cultural identity and also whether the cultural identity purportedly maintained by the tradition is itself a risk to the well being of girls in Africa. This paper makes conclusions and recommendations for additional research based on the relevance of the discussion.

Cultural Identity Versus Barbaric Tradition
Introduction
Background
Literature Review
Conclusions

From the Paper
" Research investigating these questions is valuable on many levels. It is easy to accept the existing knowledge and research concerning female genital cutting, as it is easy for those in Western cultures to be horrified by the practice. However, much of the existing research falls short by providing inadequate data or by falling back on assumptions and information collected a decade or more ago. In an age of globalization, a lot can change in a decade. Using only research done in the twenty-first century, it is possible to identify what issues are still factors in the debate over female genital cutting. By doing so it may be possible to identify what physical, psychological, and social risks and implications female genital cutting has on the current population of African girls undergoing the procedure. It is also possible to identify what social and psychological gains may exist for the same women. Can varying conceptions of female genital cutting be reconciled? Is female genital cutting a barbaric tradition or does it play a crucial role in the cultural identity of African women?"

The authors of literary works often use their words to convey meaning or a lesson.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The economic activity of Lower Manhattan, which is considered to be the third largest business district of U.S, was damaged considerably because of terrorist attacks. Thirty percent (28.7 million sq. ft) of Lower Manhattan office space was either damaged or destroyed. The 41-story Deutsche Bank Building, neighboring the World Trade Center, was damaged extensively; the building was considered to be unfit for habitation and was subjected to demolition."
"North American airspace was sealed for several days after the attack. The air travel reduced significantly after it's reopening, as the threat of terrorist activities still prevailed and people were much under psychological impact. The attacks led to nearly a 20% cutback in air travel capacity, and severely aggravated financial problems in the struggling U.S. Airline Industry."

This paper provides a brief book review of James Bradley's account of nine American pilots shot down over the Pacific island of Chichi Jima in 1944, "Flyboys". The paper relates that out of the nine, the only survivor to be rescued was future U.S. President George Bush.

From the Paper
"In "Flyboys: A True Story of Courage", author James Bradley provides the hellish account of the ordeal of nine American pilots shot down over the remote Pacific Island of Chichi Jima during WWII in 1944.

Bradley explains that Chichi Jima was..."
