Abstract
This paper examines the battles of the South in The Civil War. It explains that these battles led to the Union's victory over the Confederate Army. The author of the paper writes that General Grant's control of the sounds and rivers of North Carolina was vital to cutting off Lee's supply routes to Virginia. The paper illustrates the battle and provides the strategy and results of their outcome.

From the Paper
"While the Civil War was fought throughout the southern landscape, perhaps the region that held the most importance to the Union goals was eastern North Carolina. Starting in 1861, with the Battle of Hatteras Island, and ending with the fall of Wilmington in January 1865, the eastern North Carolina's battlefields are an important link to the Union's success over the Confederate Army.

From the Paper
"Pulitzer prize winning journalist Peter Arnett has covered the erupting hot spots of the world for more than three decades. As his biographical Live From the Battlefield attests, through his frequent adversarial relationship with the powers that be and his unparalleled tenacity to get the story, Arnett has changed the face of modern journalism. Most influential in his role as war correspondent, Arnett's career has ushered in the era of independent television news coverage, as well as era of the supreme risk taker willing to fall on the sword in defence of the First Amendment. Breaking the traditional vow of silence and collusion with those who govern, he was also among the first journalists to realize that the media was an instrument of power for conveying accuracy, and for correcting the record>"

Abstract
September 17, 1862, was the turning point in the Civil War. On that day, the Battle of Antietam was fought near Antietam Creek in Sharpsburg, Maryland, and it resulted in the bloodiest day of warfare in American history. Knowing as we do that the Union army was victorious, the events surrounding the Battle of Antietam may seem insignificant to some, as it was just one in a lengthy serious of battles. Antietam, however, was in fact the turning point that the North so desperately needed to secure an overall victory in the Civil War.

From the Paper
"In the days leading up to the Battle of Antietam, the Confederate forces had failed to advance to the north and had no way of escaping enemy fire. Their only way of escape was the Potomac River and the Confederate army refused to retreat. The Confederate stronghold on Harper s Ferry was weakening with the advance of Union troops and a loss could turn the war at any time. Although badly outnumbered, General Robert E. Lee of the south went against his better judgment and held his troops near Antietam Creek. The Confederate soldiers were running low on morale and were in desperate need of a victory. The Union general, George B. McClellan, decided to advance his troops to Sharpsburg and attack Lee s army by dawn of the seventeenth."

Abstract
This paper is a critical and historiographical examination of the nature of warfare and the natures of the men who wage it. It analyzes the fundamental moral prohibitions against warfare and violence and the circumstances and situations in which the human responses of sympathy and morality can be broken down. It looks at how philosophers and scholars have long debated the fundamental tenets of human nature and how some, including Thomas Hobbes, argue that man is naturally barbaric and that social constraints are necessary to restrain these violent tendencies. Others, such as Immanuel Kant, contend that man is inherently benevolent and that the group dynamics of society should seek to harness these altruistic forces.

From the Paper
"However, certain factors can overwhelm and neutralize these moral responses, thereby effecting a fundamental transformation of the people involved in the acts of violence. War often results from the manifestation of the destructive, cruel, and violent tendencies that coexist within all humans along with the restraining forces of sympathy, compassion, and respect. Glover maintains that the moral resources typically restrain the savage impulses of humankind, but when these moral resources collapse in the midst of war, barbarism and cruelty rise to the foreground. In his descriptions of various instances of torture and cruelty in times of war, Glover makes a compelling case for the perverse appeal of such cruelty for many people, particularly emotionally stunted males seeking to buoy their self-confidence through the assertion of their power over weaker creatures."

Abstract
This article pertains to a legal controversy in Vancouver's feminist community, and illustrates the fact that "the rage of radical feminist theories and the chaos of lived gendered experience" often meet "on the battlefield of the transsexual body" (Stone, 1998, p. 10, quoted in Hird, 2002, p. 577). The article reflects the hegemony of the gender binary over a wide range of subject positions. People on both sides of this debate reflect an adherence to the gender binary, and in so doing enforce the gende

Abstract
In analyzing the efficacy of various techniques by military units to obtain actionable intelligence in order to achieve mission success during the Korean and Vietnam wars, it is evident that a number of methods of battlefield intelligence gathering were used effectively during these conflicts, such as standard and covert reconnaissance missions, the questioning of civilians in battle zones, and interrogations of captured enemy personnel. Consequently, these methods and techniques should be used again in future conflicts, for they have been proven to provide both short-term and long-term actionable intelligence.

Abstract
The paper discusses how in recent years the military has been reduced in numbers and funding. These changes have made it necessary to increase the use of civilian contractors during times of war. The paper explains that they provide contract labor in areas that require special handling and when the project or job is over they leave without retirement pay or other benefits. The paper describes how contractors provide technical expertise and support where the logistical decisions can mean life or death on the battlefield of war. The paper concludes that with the reduction of funding and troops in the military, the use of civilian contractors is the prudent and cost effective way to maintain military strength without having to increase the cost of the military.

From the Paper
"They provide expertise with a focus on technology, as well as a cost reduction for the United States Armed Service Corps. Contractors are paid by the job which relieves the government of responsibility for their retirement pension fund, vacation or sick pay and other things that are typically provided in a traditional military or private sector job.
Another element to increased civilian contract use is the need for military personnel in other operations. The use of civilian contractors frees up military personnel for other operations while not reducing the work or coverage in the areas that the civilians work with."

Abstract
Nick Adams is a man displaced in time. There is evidence throughout the Nick Adams stories that illustrate his character. As a young man, Nick seems to lose sight of the love of hunting and fishing instilled in him by his father, focusing on desires of a carnal nature. In the ?Three Day Blow?, Nick?s friend Bill congratulates him for breaking up with Marge, who is not nick?s social equal. Nick listens to his heart, not an antiquated, bigoted, macho social consciousness. Nick is always uneasy in confrontational situations. If not for Bug?s intervention in ?The Battler?, Ad Francis would surely have harmed Nick. On the European battlefields, Nick comes to realize his true nature. Nick has come to forgive his father, now dead, his shortcomings, as he is grateful to his father for instilling in him the love of gaming and fishing, which served as Nick?s salvation.

From the Paper
"Nick Adams is a man displaced in time. His stories (as written by Hemingway) are set in the late dawn of the Industrial Age, a time dominated by rugged individualists that spread across America, changing its face to suit them by consuming vast amounts of natural resources. Nick has all the tools necessary to thrive in this new era; he is a young, white male, an educated doctor's son, and set to make his own mark on the world. It took the fortuitous survival of his adventurism and wanderlust, plus a bout with madness, for Nick to come to terms with himself; to know that he could be happy living in balance with nature."

Abstract
This paper looks at the Greek Goddess, Aphrodite, the mythology of her birth and how she has interfered in the lives of man and woman throughout key mythological events such as the Trojan War and the journey of Odysseus to Ithaca from the battlefields of Troy. The author uses such texts as Hesiod's "Theogony," and Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey."

From the Paper
"Aphrodite is known by many followers of Greek Mythology as the Goddess of Love, desire and beauty, amongst her normal immortal gifts Aphrodite also has a magical girdle, which compels those whom she desires to desire her. Aphrodite has been given many names as the Goddess of Love the most famous being Venus, even within the mythos of the tales from Homer she is given this name as a substitute to Aphrodite, in some ways Homer and the Greek bards give the names of Gods and Goddess both Roman and Greek names as if they are writing for a classical Greco-Roman audience instead of a pure Greek one."
