Abstract
This paper explains that, for most of students, the step by step, extensive and complicated, often daunting and discouraging, haul from kindergarten to high school creates who they are. Although grade school and junior high school have their problems, the author believes that the most serious peril is high school. The paper concludes that school is a color-coded, fun-loving, lively-tainted obstacle course designed to prepare the student for entry into the real and raw world filled with landmines.
From the Paper
"Dead tired and violently nervous I strode to my first day of junior high: the second step. My optimistic outlook on life and steadfast determination beamed through my continuous smiling and upbeat personality. But school life did not get any easier; in fact the landmines grew in number. I now had to migrate from one classroom to another, avoid embarrassment and confrontation, while working even harder to keep grades up in more difficult classes. And uniforms? Like a massive army sect scrambling across the campus, the entire student body dressed exactly the same."

Abstract
The author of the paper examines the growing trend of email monitoring by employers of employees' electronic mail and the attitude of the courts in the United States to this phenomena. The writer looks at a number of court cases where employees challenged the right of their employer to monitor their email and other electronic communications basing their claims on the First Amendment to the US Constitution. The writer then discusses the rulings of the courts and how they impact on the rights of privacy of the individual in his workplace.
From the Paper
"It is clear that the current environment of the workplace is demonstrative of the statement "employee be wary." Utilizing your work email for private communications should be a very limited practice and the type of information you divulge in such email transmissions should also be limited. The employee should basically assume, regardless of the documentation or disclosure of an email monitoring policy, that they have no legal right to privacy with regard to email. The laws may change in the future, as more cases reach the courts that require the employer, more explicitly to make employees aware that they are being monitored but that is likely to be the only form of legal protection by the court, and it must also be noted that the courts have given the employer the benefit of the doubt even when the employee claims ignorance regarding email monitoring policies. (Rich NP) Some individuals have attacked firings, on the grounds of illicit use of a company computer as those that could be publicly destructive to their character, i.e. as torts, yet the success has been limited, as basically the court supposes that if you participate in something that is illegitimate then the fault lies with this action, rather than with the action of the employer in his or her attempt to limit such activity in their workplace. (Clochetti NP)"

Abstract
This paper examines how foreign trade and the exchange of goods would seem like a simple act at first, and how, in reality, there are many unforeseen circumstances that can arise during that transaction that can lead to the inability of the seller to provide the goods and the buyer to pay for those goods. It analyzes how this has led to an increasingly complex set of laws to help decide in what cases a party is entitled to recover the losses incurred from the inability to complete the transaction. It also shows how many of these laws are weighted toward the buyer and do little to protect the seller.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Negotiable bills may not be due at the time they are made. Instead they may have a maturity attached to them at some later date. The note may set forth penalties or other remedies if the bill is not paid according to the terms. Notes have been a source of disagreement in International trade as they customs of different countries vary. For instance, there may be a difference in observed holidays between two countries and this can lead to a misunderstanding about when a bill is due. There may also be differences in whether a bill can carry interest or on taxation purchases. As one can see there are many areas in which disagreements can arise from the negotiation of these forms of payment. These differences have led to the development of a series of treaties and agreements between trading partners and countries surrounding and standardizing the use of these instruments."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses that the two plays 'The Revenger's Tragedy' by Cyril Tourneur and the 'Women Beware Women' by Thomas Middleton represent a social commentary on wealth and power in the Middle Ages. The writer maintains that although these plays were written within the Elizabethan Era, the continuity of greed and disloyalty is a part of the behaviors of medieval aristocracy, which was mostly pervasive within England in the early 17th century.

Abstract
This paper reviews the article, "Beware The Internet Panacea: How Tried And True Strategy Got Sidelined" by McGrath and Heiens. In the article the authors characterize the Internet and e-business initiatives as merely business tools that are to be deployed as any other business tool would be. The contention of this paper is that this characterization is simplistic and shortsighted.
From the Paper
"In a recent article entitled, "Beware The Internet Panacea: How Tried And True Strategy Got Sidelined," (McGrath & Heiens, 2003) the authors provide some strong explication on how strategy and the internet vis-?vis e-businesses should be considered. Yet, at the outset of the article the authors make an observation that demonstrates that even their academic conception of the internet and e-business might be somewhat impaired. McGrath and Heiens make the comment that, "the numerous Internet start-ups that wound up on the scrap heap of business failures are testament to the fact that the Internet is merely a tool, not a panacea, and...sound business strategy is always a prerequisite for success" (2003, para.1). While there can be no argument that there is no substitute for sound business strategy based on traditional business imperatives, their comment characterizing the internet as merely a tool is shortsighted."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the corruption of wealth and power in the early 17th century as is seen within the Elizabethan plays, "The Revenger's Tragedy" by Cyril Tourneur and "Women Beware Women" by Thomas Middleton. It discusses the central elements of the plays and shows how they define medieval elite society through an Elizabethan dramatic point of view.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, the two plays The Revenger's Tragedy by Cyril Tourneur and the Women Beware Women by Thomas Middleton represent a social commentary on wealth and power in the Middle Ages. Although these plays were written within the Elizabethan Era, the continuity of greed and disloyalty is a part of the behaviors of medieval aristocracy, which was mostly pervasive within England in the early 17th century. By examining the various characters in these two plays, the desire for wealth and power is the central social theme about medieval upper class culture that is brought forth by Tourneur and Middleton."

Abstract
This paper discusses President Dwight Eisenhower's warning to Americans in 1961 to beware of the military-industrial complex. It explains why he was concerned about the power and influence being accumulated by the defense industry in the United States. The paper discusses the influence of the Cold War tensions between the communist world and the free world on Eisenhower's military-industrial complex concerns.
From the Paper
" In conclusion, President Dwight Eisenhower's warning in 1961 of the power and influence being accumulated by the military-industrial complex was based on his concerns that the Cold War tensions between the communist world and the free world was creating a permanent industrial-military-political power base in the United States.
President Eisenhower believed that the massive spending on conventional and nuclear weaponry generated by the Cold War was necessary to a certain extent, but he also considered the military-industrial complex that has been created by this spending to be a potential threat to America's democratic institutions and to world peace. That threat is no longer just potential, it is very real, and is inflicting grave damage on America's economy and democratic institutions every day."

Abstract
This paper demonstrates how organizations have to put enormous effort to motivate their employees and staff to recognize organizational goals. It examines how performance management can be acquired mainly through trial and error, just where the limits of the controllable accomplishments lie. It looks at how the four most reliable earmarks of strong performance management motives are setting hard but achievable goals, following them persistently, resuming the cycle whenever a goal is attained, and hunting for dependable signs that the path will achieve success.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The second fake procedure of the word motivation connects it with paternalism, kindness, and generosity. Employers now and then give people plenty of things that they like in anticipation of getting a quid pro quo. This is the Santa Claus manner to motivate people: if a manager showers his employees with goodies, conceivably they will do a little labor for him in exchange. For instance, if the manager provides posters, picnics, discounts, as well as dinners, finance cafeterias and managers who have been to charisma school. The manager provides company newspapers, as well as magazines, softball teams and bowling leagues, as well as even Christmas parties for the children. The proposal is to make work enjoyable (Bernardin & Beatty, 1994)."
