Abstract
The paper describes how Miami, Florida is the site of a most disturbing trend of attacks on the disabled, elderly, and especially the homeless. The paper reveals that what makes these crimes so socially significant is that they very often are committed by preadolescent children who are influenced by teenagers. The paper discusses two recent highly publicized cases, one involving a Vietnam veteran who was both disabled and homeless was severely beaten with bricks by a teenager and two ten-year-old boys, and another case where a homeless man was beaten to death by two teenagers. The paper utilizes Orem's nursing model in addressing this issue.

Abstract
The research studies the changes that have developed in sports over the past decades and argues that globalization and capitalism are responsible for this change. The mass media has brought these matches into the homes, and this means that the excitement of viewing them live is no longer just limited to those who can afford a ticket or find one. In this way, especially with the development of satellite channels, the whole world is the audience of a football match. This has placed tremendous pressure on the players to perform to the best of their ability and more. The paper shows that media coverage of sports may have caused many players to retire early or to live insecurely due to death threats against them or their families, but it appears to have improved the quality of such games as football. To prove this, the writer look at statistics on the performance of the top players before the media age and top players in this media age. It proves that media has improved the quality of sports, but has removed from it the idea of clean competition and even player loyalties to their clubs or national teams. These players now go after the highest bidder, and it is difficult to keep track of who is playing for which side. Accordingly, the media has transformed sports into a financial game, and it is no longer an athletic one. As a support for the argument that money rather than playing well for the love of the sport itself is the main motivation of the performance of players and clubs, the writer finds statistics on the profits that clubs make through winning and the losses that they suffer by getting beaten. Furthermore, it finds statistics on the salaries of the top players and how their performance affects the terms of the renewal of their contracts. Additionally, the writer finds out how much sponsors and advertisers pay for the presence of their ads during games or their logos on the players' clothes.

From the Paper
"We are now living in a world of instant media communication in which the way that different countries and people interact with each other has greatly changed. The mass media has entered every area of life and covers almost all events, whether large or small. Sports are one area that has received a great amount of media attention, and that attention has changed the nature of some sports such as football. Essentially, that change can be described as the internationalization, or the globalization of football in the sense that the characteristic of the national team has changed forever through the inclusion of foreign players. Media's concentration on football and its live coverage of games has globalized this sport, or made it international. The consequence has been the improvement of the quality of the game, and the potential development if closer cultural understanding between different ethnic groups as a consequence of the diverse ethnic composition of teams and supporters. Some, however, such as the anonymous author of "An English Case Study," published in The Economist, argue that globalization has weakened the development of local footballer talent in countries as the United Kingdom but, on the contrary, the import of foreign talent has improved the performance of many teams, increased their clubs' profits, and uplifted the quality of the game, further rewarding deserving players with experience and money."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although scientists have been trained carefully to believe that animals do not experience emotions and to avoid anthropomorphism, attributing human feelings, attitudes, or thoughts, to animals, the authors of this book suggest that this position is not true. The author points out that, in one of the most convincing chapters of the books, Masson and McCarthy write about the behavior of elephants around the bones of elephants that have died, describe animals appearing to grieve after a mate or partner leaves, and depicting an elephant who cried tears when beaten for performing badly. The paper relates that the book makes a compelling case for requiring evidence, not assumptions based on beliefs of biological superiority when dealing with animals, especially when using animals for experimentation. The paper questions, however, whether humans should die because it is wrong to practice life-saving surgery on other animals first when animal experiments have saved many, many lives.

From the Paper
"The author notes that we have put a lot of effort into demonstrating things humans can do that other animals cannot: Laugh, worship, and anticipate (p. 24). The reader notes that "use tools" used to be on that list. It can't be any longer because both chimpanzees and sea otters use tools. Chimpanzees will push a straw or small diameter stick down a to lure termites out so they can be eaten. Sea otters gather flat rocks that they lie on their stomachs. Then when they gather seafood, they beat the clams, snails or whatever against the flat stone to break them open. Reasoning, imagination and anticipation may be functions of intelligence rather than related to emotions."

Abstract
This paper relates that, to be diagnosed as a juvenile delinquent, a youth must show an established pattern of behavior, which demonstrates continuous disregard for society's standards, rules or the rights of others. It explains that based on this definition, Will Hunting is a juvenile delinquent. The author points out that the agencies responsible for watching children in need apparently were not able to help Will Hunting, who was raised in an abusive home, physically beaten and psychologically abused but apparently no one ever noticed and intervened. The paper relates that the movie demonstrates that the situation around teens in trouble with the law may be far more complex than it appears; may be struggling to find their way on their own because their families have failed to provide the guidance they needed.

From the Paper
"The movie "Good Will Hunting", written by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, tells the story of an older teen named Will Hunting, a troubled young man with a troubled past. Will Hunting works as a janitor at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he reveals mathematical brilliance. One of the professors puts a complex physics problem on a blackboard outside his classroom, and invites his students to attempt to solve it. One night while Will is cleaning the hall, he stops at the board, considers it a moment, and rapidly solves it without signing his name. Eventually the professor realizes that it is the young janitor who solved the problem none of his students could tackle. At about the same time, Will gets in trouble with the law, a position he has been in before."

Abstract
This paper is a discussion of Shakespeare's portrayal of women in his many different works. The author discusses how the female characters are portrayed in several of Shakespeare's plays. In "Henry VI," the woman's placed is portrayed as being in the home, while in "Macbeth," Lady Macbeth's influence declines to the point where she becomes a nervous wreck. In "The Tempest," the heroine Miranda takes all of her cues from the male character, in "Hamlet" a women's involvement in political matters is suggested to be dangerous and in "The Taming of the Shrew," women who were beaten or treated badly by their husband were powerless to speak out against this abuse. The author uses many different sources to support their thesis that Shakespeare did not intentionally portray women in a negative light, but his works should be viewed as being a reflection of the world around him.

From the Paper
"In "The Tempest," Tarqfrler writes that the heroine, Miranda, again is portrayed as a "conventional woman" (Tarqfrler pg). Although Shakespeare give her a "bright and cheerful nature" filled with kindness and compassion, "she is also oppressed by the male society" a woman who has none of the exaggerated affectations of social rules and timid conventions" (Tarqfrler pg). Shakespeare's male representative, Prospero, trains her in the essential of life, such as "speech, dress, obedience, gentleness and modesty" (Tarqfrler pg). Miranda is naive of the world's social structure, the protocol of aristocracy, moreover, she had no clue as to her place in the scheme of things (Tarqfrler pg). So although, her character is praised for its naivete and beauty, "she lacks profound intellectual and moral content" (Tarqfrler pg). Tarqfrler cites the critic Mrs. Jameson, saying, "She says that beautified nonsense existing in a charming manner does not constitute life. And for this reason Miranda disappoints us considerably. Miranda is a puppet and she lacks the quality and capability of her father. She is guided by Prospero, especially, in her "love affair." (Tarqfrler pg)."

Abstract
This essay draws on the similarities and comparisons between Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and Tim Burton's film, "Sleepy Hollow" with specific reference to the daydream scenes.

From the paper:

"Yet this daydream has no few of the aspects of a nightmare as well. In the real world, the worst Ichabod will ever endure is a fall from his faithful, and borrowed, steed Gunpowder. In the daydream film, he shall be skewered with a ghostly sword, beaten, choked, and otherwise bodily assaulted. The horsemen will not be a possible figment, a traveler who merely keeps pace and tosses pumpkins; to the contrary, he shall kill any number of people."

Abstract
Punishment was once an integral part of the school life of the children. This paper discusses how corporal punishments was given to the students who were found engaged in any wrong deed. The purpose of punishing the students in the school was to tell that the wrong doing would eventually bring pain and agony. The writer explores the development that with the passage of time, it is now realized that these punishments are no good for the students as they have more negative impacts than positive. The short and long term effects are discussed in this paper, examining whether adults who were beaten as children in schools became more aggressive parents. It shows how these punishments not only harm the students physically but are also great threat to their mental health. It examines how people including parents and the young generation (children and teenagers) are now voicing against the abuse of the corporal punishment.

From the Paper
"It was the perspective of people a few years ago; that only way to punish someone who did a sinister deed was to use corporal punishment. This is meant to enforce pain to someone who has done wrong by hitting them, beating them, strapping them or even whipping them. These are only a few examples of corporal punishment. Why do we have punishment, How do we benefit from it and how do we abuse it? The most obvious reason for corporal punishment is to castigate one for doing something wrong by means of physical abuse expecting the individual to learn from his or her mistake. But we must ask ourselves this question. Is the person benefiting from this or is he or she not only being physically abused but also mentally. In some cases corporal punishment psychologically affects ones mind on a long-term basis that will stain their memory for a very long period of time."

Abstract
The Shining Path terrorist group launched a series of attacks in Peru, terrorizing the country for decades before they were beaten back in a 1990's crackdown. However, in March 2002, a car bomb attack near the United States embassy in Lima made Peruvian citizens recall their fears of terrorism. While the Shining Path has remained low-key for several years, the national and state government still recognize it as a terrorist organization. This paper takes a look at this group, including its history and leadership, structure and activities.

From the Paper
"The Shining Path was defeated for many reasons. For one, there was a lack of support among large sectors of the population as the group used authoritarian methods against peasants, workers, and other sectors of the population (Rueter's, 1998). In addition, its brutal military repression all but guaranteed its lack of success, and the group was opposed by grass-roots organizations. Finally, the vertical nature of the party structure led to international isolation. The group was doomed."
