Abstract
This paper presents a detailed discussion about the internment camps for the Japanese that were set up and implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The internment of Japanese-Americans was drastic and shocking, but it was supported by the majority of non-Japanese Americans. It was a decision that left a bruise on the psyche of the nation, however. The writer explores the history leading up to the decision and the decision itself. The paper includes photographs and a timeline of events leading up to and including the internment camps.

From the Paper
"He was considered one of the top military police officers in the nation at the time. He was largely responsible for making sure there was peace and order in the military areas of the nation, which included the military camps that the Japanese were being brought to. Gullion was considered an expert in legal affairs as well when it came to the actions of the military. He had serious concerns about the legal ability to lock up civilians who had done nothing wrong. He argued that the military could not get away with interfering in civilian lives."

The author identifies the groups that should be targeted by any marketing campaign in the grim aftermath of this recall. The paper points out that crisis planning involves reminding the public that the company is concerned about its consumers, quality, ethical business practices and making a product that can meet the most exacting quality standards. The author concludes that the best communication strategy is to accentuate the positive and the company's long and distinguished history of providing organic food at economical prices so that Karma-Organic Food for Dogs can emerge from this industry-wide crisis a winner.

From the Paper
"Before going too far, it is important to discuss in some detail the entire recall crisis. To begin with, a quick glance at the Menu Foods recall website reveals that the list of recalled items has grown recently and that ChemNutra Wheat Gluten appears to be the main culprit responsible for the crisis. Furthermore, the website indicates that Menu Foods is taking (or was as of March, 2007) steps to divine the cause of the illnesses striking the pets of customers - the identification of the aforementioned ChemNutra Wheat Gluten (and the massive recall of food products) would seem to be the most significant step."

Abstract
This paper describes the symptoms of three different patients that have possible blood disorders. The paper first describes the case of a four year old girl who is tired and pale on a regular basis and likely suffers from anemia. Next, the paper looks at a 5-year-old African-American male whose mother wants him screened for a "trait" she carries. The paper assumes this refers to sickle cell anemia which is more common in African-Americans. Finally, the paper describes a male patient who notices more bruising than usual and explains that this is probably a platelet disorder known as hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, also referred to as the Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome.

From the Paper
"Amy is a four year old girl who seems to be tired and pale on a regular basis. Her mother describes her as a picky eater, and the majority of her diet consists of pasta, bread, hot dogs, and artificial fruit drinks high in sugar. From the description of her symptoms and the way she eats, my first guess would be that Amy is suffering from a type of iron deficiency anemia. The body requires iron in order to produce red blood cells that carry oxygen from our lungs to every cell in our bodies. From the description of Amy's diet, it seems as though she is not eating enough foods with iron which could be the cause of her tiredness and pale complexion. General symptoms of anemia include pallor or deficiency of color, fatigue, dizziness, headaches, decreased exercise tolerance, rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath (Mulvihill, 2006)."

Abstract
The World Trade Organization is an organization that works to help its members attain and maintain fair trade practices on a global level. This paper looks at how in 1995 two of the world's most economically powerful nations came to blows over an anti-dumping issue. Japan believed the United States was at fault while the U.S. argued that Japan was wrong. It focuses on how the WTO tried to mediate the situation and how, although the U.S. and Japan made up, the WTO was left with bruises that are still healing.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"While the organization has been set and governed for the purpose of allowing fair trade practices among its members, as well as providing a worldwide voice for issues that the WTO members feel they need to speak up about, there are times in which the members will disagree with each other about fair trade. It is during these times that the WTO steps in and mediates those disagreements. This helps countries establish agreements and settle problems without resorting to war or serious embargos that can threaten to bring on a war between two or more nations."

Abstract
This paper explains that the poetry of Dylan Thomas demands to be read aloud especially his poem "The Force that through the Green Fuse Drives the Flower" in which the Welsh force dominates every syllable and needs to be heard forcefully. The author points out that it is important to remember that Dylan lived during WW I and II and the Cold War; much of his poems seem to have a dark, almost wintry side to them, some of them dealing with the havoc of fire bombs,air raids and the bruised bodies of soldiers and civilians alike. The paper concludes that, although written generations ago, this poem still exerts a magnetism in its few, short lines: Even with all the hi-tech and modern machinery in the 21st century, man is still a slave to nature.

From the Paper
"Even in this early youthful poem, there is a rage within the poet- a force that is angry and not at peace with Nature, resenting that factor of growing old, growing apart, having lovers leave and/or die. This can easily be seen in the two-time use of the adjective "crooked": first, the crooked rose, indicating a slow decay, and then the crooked worm, which tends to indicate the worms that invade one's mortal remains, even getting under and through the shroud, the sheet.
Thomas, the poet, mourns a dead lover, and, perhaps to soothe her as well as to be at one with what will happen to him one day, says "How at my sheet goes the same crooked worm." We cannot escape our fate of death and decay. It is all around us. It is an insurmountable force that impels us through life. Yes, we can stop of "smell the roses", but roses die before we do, and then, we await the following spring's revival, only to see the force of nature rob us of the presence and the smell of that new "green" rose, as well. It is in imagery that Thomas is forceful."

Abstract
This paper critiques the words of the song "It's My Party" by Leslie Gore which depicts a woman of unknown age who is celebrating an important occasion in her life, only to find that the celebration is marred by the loss of her boyfriend. It discusses how the song portrays a woman in conflict, who has a lack of self, a bruised ego, and has some repressed feelings and emotions that allow her to become emotionally distraught by the behavior of others. It examines how she appears to be co-dependent and incapable of finding worth just in being with herself and how she needs validation from others. Only when she feels that another is in pain and that she has Johnny back, does she find equilibrium again.

From the Paper
"Perhaps, she is employing an inverted look at her life. How can Johnny, her fantasy man be causing her such pain? She does not seem to be able to distinguish between fantasy and reality enough to realize that if indeed Johnny is real and this is her birthday party, then the pain is real. It is the reality of the moment and the event that is causing her pain, not the fantasy that she has created.

People make numerous transformations throughout their life and the individual epitomized in the lyrics of this song has not learned that life does not always provide immediate gratification. She indicates that she is wallowing in her pain by dancing alone, that she wants to be left alone and that only Johnny can make her happy."

Abstract
This paper proposes a study to examine some of the literature developed on the interaction of segregation, discrimination and health. Its hypothesis is that segregation creates a life-long pattern of lowered resistance to both physical and mental health problems, even if the person has a positive attitude toward life and seems accepting of social conditions. It attempts to show that individuals who are most bruised by segregation in terms of self-esteem, are even more vulnerable, as are several categories of African-Americans, including rural blacks early in the century and African-Americans in more segregated locales.

From the Paper
"There are a number of studies in the literature looking at residential segregation in terms of health factors. For example, Jackson et al. (2000) reported on the relationship of residential segregation to all-cause mortality. Her research group used data from the National Longitudinal Mortality Study for analysis, concluding that minority residential segregation may indeed increase mortality risk for both black and white residents. They noted that after adjusting for family income, age-adjusted mortality risk increased with increasing minority residential segregation among blacks aged 25 to 44 years and non-blacks aged 45 to 64 years. They also noted, that for most age/race/gender groups, the highest and lowest mortality risks occurred in the highest and lowest categories of residential segregation. In other words, increased mortality rates were associated with increased segregation, while decreased mortality rates were associated with decreased segregation. It is important to remember that this is after adjustment for family income, which is one factor that might immediately come to mind as an explanation for these figures."

Abstract
Self-mutilation is any self-inflicted pain done to oneself without the intent of suicide, such as cutting oneself, causing bruises, gnawing at one's own flesh, hair pulling and/or hitting one's head. This paper discusses self-mutilation, the harms it causes, why people do it and what can be done to cure the problem. The paper includes a detailed outline.

From the Paper
"The most important part of therapy is finding the root of the problem. Self-mutilation is caused by emotional distress that the person is unable to deal with. Even if one is taught how to suppress the urges to stop hurting oneself, if the root of the problem is not solved, the urges will never go away. Therapists help the adolescents learn how to deal with anxiety and depression. The adolescents are taught how to talk about their emotions so that they can convey themselves verbally without having to resort to pain."

Abstract
This paper looks at the most common genetic bleeding disorder von Willebrand disease, which affects roughly 3 percent of the world's population including all genders and races and which is determined by a gene on chromosome 12, although occasionally it occurs as a new mutation. It discusses how hemophilia is due to either a low level of one of the clotting factors, or a completely missing clotting factor, which essentially means that it takes a long time for the blood to clot after an accident or injury. It looks at how its major signs and symptoms are bleeding and bruising. The paper also examines treatment options such as replacement therapy, home-infusion therapy and the use of aminocaproic acid.

From the Paper
"Hemophilia is due to either a low level of one of the clotting factors, or a clotting factor is completely missing, which essentially means that it takes a long time for the blood to clot after an accident or injury (Hemophilia 2006). The clotting process, also called blood coagulation, is the body's response to bleeding that keeps it from losing too much blood, which can be life threatening and/or cause damage to the internal organs (Hemophilia 2006). These clotting factors are proteins in the blood that work with platelets to help the blood to clot, thus when blood vessels are damaged, the clotting factors help the platelets adhere together to basically plug cuts and breaks at the injury site (Hemophilia 2006).
