"Introduction
Today's society is highly dependent on the information gathered and stored in computers. From personal computers in the home used to track checking accounts and keep household inventories in databases to large supercomputers that control space missions and run the world's largest companies, computers have become commonplace performing a broad variety of tasks. The number of individuals who have access to the information on those computers has increased as the communications industry has undergone a revolution in recent years, and uncontrolled access to information presents a very real threat in most business and some government information. Because of the highly significant role that computers play in modern life, there is a need to keep information on machines secure from tampering, from unauthorized dissemination, and from ..."

" The purpose of this research is to examine eighteenth-century French men's clothing. The plan of the research will be to set forth the historical context in which men's clothing styles emerged in the period, and then to discuss the textiles, form or silhouette, accessories, and influences on the form that men's clothing took throughout the century.
In order to provide a strong frame of reference for men's clothing in the eighteenth century, it is first necessary to note that by 1700, France had become the leading center of fashion. It is true, as Cunnington says, that throughout the century, "in spite of wars, there was a continuous interchange of fashions" (Cunnington, 1970, p. 69) between France and England. But owing to the popular-culture influence of the French court, French fashion became the standard by which all European clothing was.."

Abstract
The paper uses two of the most famous breeches of United States intelligence agencies, those involving Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen, to show that the individual psychology of intelligence officers is often the source of leaks and betrayal. The paper looks at Ames' monetary desires and Hanssen's thirst for appreciation that encouraged them to become double agents. The paper highlights how in both cases the obvious symptoms of a mole were absent.
From the Paper
"In terms of national security, counterintelligence remains an essential component of maintaining a firm and secure hold upon potentially dangerous information. It is widely recognized that within a setting in which competing intelligence organizations are continually attempting to infiltrate the ranks of other intelligence agencies, deciding who is privy to what is often a dangerous gamble. Intelligence agencies must be conscious of the type of individuals they put in possession of delicate bits of information; this applies not merely to the background, past affiliations, and political views of these people; the individual psychology of intelligence officers is often the source of leaks and betrayal.

Abstract
This paper argues that the use of humanitarian intervention in Kosovo was the right decision even though other people oppose this action because they see full military interventions, including armed combat and humanitarian aide, as a serious act of destructing state sovereignty. The paper then asserts out that the situation in Kosovo and other national breeches of human rights are usually an ethnic conflict in which an unscrupulous leader utilizes genocidal slaughter to control political situations. The paper also contends that, although many people wish that humanitarian intervention could be defined by clear-cut guidelines, these situations are always beset by ethical and moral dilemmas.
From the Paper
"United States, post WWII, has made markedly extensive strides toward a reversal of the isolationist tactics of previous years, and yet the value of such an idea is questioned by many as intervention frequently and almost assuredly leaves the nation and her allies' subjects of criticism. Additionally, public opinion also seems to be split in such situations, with some coming to the side of immediate and swift intervention; regardless to maintain international rights, others complain that the US has no right or business being everyone's protector."

Abstract
This paper begins with a case study of the "Wilson vs. Layne" case, a case in which news media agents took photographs of a mistaken arrest in a private house. The paper explains the legal process involved with the case, stating that while there were severe privacy breeches in the case, the court was unable to say that the homeowner, Charles Wilson, had experienced a violation of his Fourth Amendment rights. The paper then discusses the issue of media "ride-alongs," a practice in which police take media agents with them to capture images of arrests and police actions. The paper discusses the role of the press in police work, and points out the privacy violations which are a risk of the practice of "ride-alongs."
From the Paper
"When the appeal was sent to the Supreme Court, the Court granted Charles the 'certiorari'. The case of Wilson vs. Layne gave rise to the question of whether or not when federal and state officials issue an arrest warrant to a citizen, either at his home or elsewhere, can they allow the media to accompany them on their official duty? And would such an arrest warrant, when it is issued at the home of the individual, be considered to be a violation of a homeowner's Fourth Amendment protection as under 'unlawful search and seizure'? In this particular case, the Court held the ruling that if the media were to be present during the execution of an arrest warrant, then it was to be considered that it was in no way at all related to what the officials were doing during their course of work. The media dose in no way assist the officials, and in the same manner, they have nothing whatsoever to do with the execution of the arrest warrant."

"Managers interacting with vendors should be prohibited from accepting any gifts, no matter how small or insignificant, from vendors at any point in time. Any exception to this rule opens a window of opportunity for abuse. In addition the management team should consider establishment of a review committee responsible for monitoring vendor service on an annual basis. This committee can also review the vendor qualifications of any new vendor selected by the member of management responsible for vendor selection, in order to ensure that the selection process was handled in an ethical and morally just manner."

Abstract
In this article, the writer explains and discusses the differences between a counseling interview and other types of interviews such as information gathering, persuasive and job interviews. The writer looks at the process and scope of the interview. An interview conducted by the writer is described. The writer explains the purpose of the interview and describes how the person interviewed was dressed. The subject of body language is also examined. Further, the writer discusses the type of contact between the interviewer and interviewee. Finally, the writer discusses when is it appropriate to breech confidentiality and looks at the relevant laws.
From the Paper
"A counseling interview requires a climate conducive to trust, understanding, honesty and openness of communication. In this type of setting more than any other it is important the interviewer establish a solid rapport with the interviewee to help produce a productive and calm environment.
Other types of interviews include job interviews, information gathering interviews and persuasive interviews. A persuasive interview is a directed interview where the primary purpose of the interviewer is to persuade the interviewee to side with them. This form of interview also requires the interviewer establish rapport, but rapport is not as vital to the outcome as it may be to a counseling interview. Nonetheless, the better able the interviewer is able to establish rapport the more likely he or she is to sway the interviewee to their side of an issue."

Abstract
This paper details how the introduction of shoulder held rifles dramatically changed tactical strategies in the mid-19th century. It looks at how the switch to breech loading rifles was largely inspired by the great difficulty in pushing a bullet down through the grooves of a rifle without further trapping soot and deforming the lead head. The paper also discusses the various significant changes in the functionality of these particular rifles, compared to earlier weapons.
From the Paper
"Reading over the functionality of the rifle, one can see two obvious implications for tactical adjustment. First, the rifle is far more accurate at a far greater difference, which makes it capable of being used successfully by snipers and long-range warriors. Snipers have the potential to inflict significant damage to an enemy with minimal losses, and also to play a vital part in strategic interests. For example, invaders moving through unfamiliar territory could theoretically be decimated by well-placed and mobile snipers covering their movements -- a tactic which would both reduce numbers and slow progress. One story from the Vietnam war tells of a rifle-bearing sniper who single-handedly wiped out an entire north Vietnamese company. "The enemy could not effectively return fire and Hathcock kept them suppressed because they knew that if they were to show themselves they would die."

Abstract
This paper provides a thorough analysis of the landmark case involving flag desecration, Texas V. Johnson, and the idea of flag desecration as fighting words. In order to argue for the recognition of flag desecration as fighting words, which are federally recognized elements of speech that by their very utterance incite a breech of the peace, the author first makes a clear and concise argument for flag desecration as symbolic speech.
From the Paper
"In 1892, New York Baptist minister, Francis Bellamy wrote a few heartfelt words into his prayer book. The short prayer was to express his appreciation of the freedoms provided for in his beloved country, America. Today we know that short prayer to be the Pledge of Allegiance. For more than one hundred years, American school children, new American citizens and men and women of the military have recited the patriotic prayer to show their loyalty to America. And although the recitors of the "pledge" face an American flag, the pledge is not of allegiance to the flag, but to the United States of America. In fact, Bellamy wrote that while thinking of the pledge his emphasis was on "the republic for which it stands." (Baer) We may further understand that the republic by his definition, is synonymous with America."

Abstract
This paper looks at how the interaction and mutual reinforcement of technological innovations, nationalist motivations, and new imperialism created an entirely new global system by the beginning of the early 20th century. The writer points out that, during this time, European powers controlled large portions of the world's land mass, including China, India, and Africa. The root cause of this explosion in colonialism can be found in the nationalistic motivations of European nations, which desired to affirm the supremacy of their countries through expansion and domination. It argues that the success of new imperialism can be traced to the development and adaptation of new technologies like quinine, steel-hulled gunboats, breech-loading rifles, railroads, and the telegraph. It explains how these technologies allowed European powers unprecedented access to India, China, and Africa, thus providing the means for the advent of the new imperialism. In turn, the success of the new imperialism reaffirmed the colonialist belief in their nationalistic motivations and the supremacy of their nation.
From the Paper
"By the early 20th century, a new and distinctive global system had developed out of the interaction and mutual reinforcement of technological innovations, nationalist motivations, and new imperialism. Nationalist motivations to acquire land and glory for the good of one's nation likely played an important part in driving the new imperialism that characterized the beginning of the 19th century. In turn, technology provided a means for countries like Britain and France to expand their overseas territories, and thus bring many of their nationalist dreams to fruition. Overall, the interplay between nationalist motivations, new imperialism and technological innovation was a complex and profoundly important factor in the history of the early 20th century and late 19th century."
