Abstract
This paper reviews the article, "Rubber Bullets: Power and Conscience in Modern Israel", by Yaron Ezrahi and interprets the meaning of the article as a leftist view of the role Israeli consciousness had in affecting the peace process of the late Rabin administration.

From the Paper
"The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has remained one of the most difficult international issues in modern times. Although of extremely small relative size, geographically, Israel and the occupied territories of Palestine are closely related to, as well as ultimately responsible for, much of the simmering hatred present in the current "war on terrorism". Within the area, however, specifically within the collective consciousness of both Palestinians as well as Israeli's, the methods of engagement used by the IDF, or Israeli Defense Forces against the Palestinian population is often a reflection, or a symbolic representation of the overall Israeli political/ideological climate. Rubber Bullets: Power and Conscience in Modern Israel (1997) by Israeli political scientist Yaron Ezrahi, discusses this reality, and reaches some interesting conclusions."

Abstract
The paper explains the hypothesis behind comparative bullet lead analysis and discusses how, although it is scientifically valid, research has revealed the likelihood for inaccuracies with this method of investigation. The paper relates that, in the future, comparative bullet lead analysis results may be introduced as one of many other factors and not as conclusive evidence of guilt.

Outline:
Introduction - The Scientific Method and Comparative Bullet Lead Analysis
Hypothetical Framework and Comparative Bullet Lead Analysis Methodology
Comparative Bullet Lead Analysis and Violation of the Scientific Method
Conclusion

From the Paper
"Generally, the scientific methods consists of forming and testing hypotheses to explain an observed phenomenon or group of phenomena. More specifically, scientific inquiry consists of disprovable hypotheses capable of being tested in relation to corresponding phenomena or quantitative predictions in ways that can either establish a logical basis supporting the proposed explanation or refute it. Finally, scientific tests must be repeatable by other experimenters.
"In criminal investigations, the scientific method underlies every component of forensic analysis. Furthermore, aside from the requirement that any method used to establish evidence of a crime be supported by a valid, testable, repeatable hypothesis, the burden of proof on the prosecution also requires any relevant test used to establish guilt be sufficiently accurate to a very high degree of certainty (Kobalinsky and Liotti, et al., 2005)."

Abstract
This paper explains that "A Stray Bullet" depressingly portrays the poverty and anxiety of post-war years in Seoul by depicting vividly the urban poor in their struggle to preserve their civilization in the face of the despicable socio-economic conditions and of a cultural clash between the traditional Korea and the American G.I's. The author points out that a consistent motif, the painful toothache that tortures Cholho, represents a powerful metaphor for the larger suffering of both his family and the Korean society. The paper concludes that, although the struggling Cholho attempts to solve his problems and escape from the nightmare of his existence, he is still doomed to failure; therefore, like the title, he is a stray bullet with no direction, just like one of the lost generation of the 1960's.

From the Paper
""A Stray Bullet" begins with introducing the main character, Song Cholho, who struggles with his meager wages as a clerk in a public accountant's office. Cholho is not only a father, brother, husband, son to his family, but the only breadwinner of the household. Silently bearing the burden of supporting his family, he would return everyday after work to his home in the Liberation Village only to find wails from his mother. His elderly mother who is longing to return to the North would "lay there, face to the wall, crying out the single phrase, 'let's go...let's go.'" Given up on his bed-ridden, frenzied mother, Cholho "would just look down at her for a while and then go into the next room.""

The paper discusses how the film shows the progression of science and medicine and how Dr. Ehrlich's perseverance, dedication and attitude makes him a hero to the medical field. The paper recommends this movie to anyone who wants to learn about some of the accomplishments that changed the field of medicine.

From the Paper
"Dr Ehrlich's Magic Bullet is an extraordinary biographical film of the life and works of Dr Paul Ehrlich by director William Dieterle. The film begins in a German Hospital where Dr. Paul Ehrlich (played by Edward G Robinson) works as a physician. The very first patient in the movie has a contagious disease that will become extremely important near the end of the film. This film has many highs and lows as well as drama and climax. Throughout the film we not only see a progression of Dr. Ehrlich's life but a progression of science and medicine. By the end of the film the audience is left in awe of the amazing accomplishments that the doctor adds to the field of science and medicine."

Abstract
This paper discusses the state of the software industry, claiming that there are many theories regarding lack of software productivity. The paper examines Brooks' ideas as they appeared in his "Computer Magazine" article, "No Silver Bullet", as well as the opinions of Cox and others. The paper contends that these theories and others, all help to shed light on barriers to software productivity.

From the Paper
"During the 1970's, companies had difficulty delivering software within the constraints of schedule, budget, and quality (Food for Thought, 2005). The problem grew worse over time. Many projects undertaken in the 1980's and 1990's were complete disasters, failing to deliver anything, grossly exceeding budget and schedule deadlines, and delivering poor quality. Also, during the 1980's a "software crisis" occurred in which the spending on software maintenance exceeded spending on creating new software products. So, why can't software be mass produced in a way that is reliable and consistent just as manufactured goods are delivered today? There are many theories regarding lack of software productivity. Brooks (1987) holds that the fundamental nature of software prevents meaningful automation. Cox (1996), on the other hand, makes the interesting assertion that software development issues stem from market dynamics, namely the way software is bought and sold."

Abstract
This paper looks at the social and racial context contained in Malcolm X's speech known as "The Ballot or the Bullet". The writer looks at Malcolm X, his background, and influence on the civil rights movement in the 1960s in America. The speech explores issues of race, black power, government, and the potential for social change.

From the Paper
"Of course, Malcolm X proposes a concrete plan for his fellowmen to promote social changes in the black American society. He believes in the power and influence of the United Nations in acting as intermediary for the black American society and the US government to negotiate about their proposed changes in the American society, since, according to Malcolm X, "[w]hen you take your case to Washington D.C., you're asking it to the criminal who's responsible? They're all in cahoots together." Apart from seeking the help of the UN, he also proposes that his fellowmen empower themselves in the country and against the forces that oppress them (the government) by becoming self-reliant economically and being assertive enough to illicit fear among these oppressive powers."

Abstract
This paper examines the modernization of warfare that occurred during the American Civil War, a process that was centered on the kinds of weapons that were used, but also had to do with changing ideas about the nature of war as well. This paper focuses on an examination of the types of bullets used in the war by both sides because new techniques in the manufacturing of bullets was the core of the modernization of warfare.

From the Paper
"The American Civil War is often referred to as the last of the old-fashioned wars in terms of its weaponry, its military strategy and its casualty rates. Looking at these same criteria, it is also arguable " and this seems to be the more tenable position " that it was in fact the first modern war, and this was the case primarily because of the weapons that were used, including the types of guns and the types of bullets."

Abstract
Three views on integration are provided by the Supreme Court (Brown v. Board of Education), Malcolm X "Ballots or bullets" and Martin Luther King "Non-Violence" In light of events over the past 40-50 years since these events it would seem that integration has made progress and that the Supreme Court's view of equality is the one which has been mostly accomplished.

From the Paper
Three Views on Integration: Brown v Board of Education, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X The decades of the 1950s and 1960s were a watershed in the history of race relations and Civil Rights activism in the United States. Looking back from the 21^st Century we can see three distinct strands of thought, each of which we can now study in light of the changes in our society over the past 40 or 50 years. During the 1950's and 60's a series of court decisions and new laws were enacted to outlaw racial discrimination. These began most famously with the 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. The Board of Education of
