" In the field of criminal justice, it is necessary to communicate with all segments of society. That communication may be one-way - i.e., in the case of prosecutorial aspects of the criminal justice system - or it may be bi-directional, as in the case of what is commonly called "community policing". The nature of a police force in the criminal justice system is that of both conduit for communication and enforcement arm of the system itself. It is an awkward situation to say the least. Nevertheless, it is in both capacities, enforcement and conduit, that a police force must communicate with that segment of society know as "gangs". Just as one interviews an elderly person in a certain manner, a child in another, and so forth - so, too, must the interview with gang members be fashioned to the "fit" of that particular society. This paper will briefly discuss some aspects..."

"I fashioned myself as Prometheus. I took from the hand of the death and put together life; I breathed air into your lungs dear friend, I stole the fire from the Gods and gave it to you. Albeit you blame me for being selfish in this endeavor: my creation was merely a flaunting of my skill. This is true, but given the choice did you want to remain an unconscious being or did you want the light of the gods? Did you want to live in the secret of your soul? "

Abstract
This paper discusses the tremendous growth of participation in amateur athletic events over the past few decades in terms of their scope, power and economic status and that in the United States alone, amateur athletics involve the lives and athletic experiences of people from their childhood through high school and college and beyond. This paper also discusses how high school and college sports are one of the most popular and important aspects of academic life today and that the camaraderie and fellowship that can emerge among sports players can possibly last a lifetime. The focus of this paper is on a disturbing trend towards violence in sports that has emerged in recent years. While injuries and mishaps can reasonably be expected to take place in any sporting event, there is frequently a fine distinction between intimidating tactics and violence that can result in serious injuries on the sporting field.
From the Paper
"While violence in collegiate sports has received much attention in recent years, a less publicized problem also exists. College athletes are highly popular figures on campus and in communities, but they are being unfairly treated in terms of how they are compensated for their efforts. While the performance of these student athletes on the field or court provides millions of dollars in revenue for universities, these students receive only their scholarships (usually comprised of tuition, room, and board), but no spending money. Furthermore, under current NCAA regulations, these student athletes are prohibited from even working part-time during the season. "Athletes have been caught trying to make money by getting loans from coaches and advisers," the author says, "selling the shoes and other gear they get as team members, taking allowances from agents, and getting paid for no-show summer jobs provided by jock-sniffing alumni--all violations of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) rules" (38).

Abstract
This paper discusses managing diversity in the nursing workplace, explaining that diversity is a fact in just about every occupation, including health care. The paper further discusses how managing diversity effectively can create a better working environment that promotes understanding, awareness and a greater sense of teamwork and camaraderie. According to the paper diversity, affirmative action and equal employment opportunities (EEO) are all intertwined in the health care environment.
From the Paper
"While health care workforces are continually becoming more diverse, there still can be tensions between employees of differing ages, genders, or ethnicities. Often, these tensions rely on misunderstanding or misconceptions. Author Riccucci notes, "Quite simply, human beings often react disparagingly to the fact that all people do not look alike, dress alike, talk alike, or think alike. In effect, as traditional, homogeneous workforces become increasingly diverse, tensions in the workplace are inevitable" (Riccucci 25). Thus, the effective manager will understand how to manage these tensions and hopefully keep them at bay. Even more important, upper management must support diversity and understanding at all levels and in all employees for diversity to be successful rather than a tension in the workplace. That means identifying areas of diversity in the staff, and educating managers and staff members in cultural awareness and understanding. If managers do not have the support of the administration, then cultural diversity could spiral into a major problem in the health care environment. Since most health care professionals are caregivers of some sort, understanding and empathy should be a little easier for many to understand and practice."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the Greek and American cultures in terms of culture and lifestyle, vis a vis priorities, fellowship, entertainment, food and family. The paper contends that America is primarily a land of opportunity and material success, while Greece is primarily a land of camaraderie and familial connectedness.
From the Paper
"America's freedom and opportunity have drawn immigrants from all over the world to her shores to join together in one of the largest melting pots in the world. In the streets of America Italians can live next door to Germans and Africans can live next door to Native Americans. Since immigrants bring elements of their culture with them to America, knowing someone of another ethnicity-or even growing up in an ethnic family-can convince us that we are acquainted with that culture."

Abstract
This paper reviews the film "Gallipoli", which tells the story of the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who fought in World War One. The writer explores the film not only historically as the story unfolded but also focuses on the issues that the film raises including the society back home in Australia, and the amazing camaraderie of the Australian soldiers fighting the battle of Gallipoli.
From the Paper
"The unlikely and extraordinary friendship between Archy and Frank lies at the heart of the film. While Archy comes from a rural community that embodies the strength and endurance of the Australian outback, Frank represents the decadence and moral corruption of the city. Although Frank is initially resistant to the idea of enlisting in the war, he is inspired by Archy's strength and idealism and decides to go to war with him. The archetypal pattern of a corrupted city individual who can only be redeemed by his noble friend from the bush recurs in many Australian films."

Abstract
This paper discusses two memoirs dealing with the effect that the alcoholic parent has on the child and on the structure and working of the entire family unit. Drinking is also associated in both books with the creation of myth, with story-telling, and with a search for friendship and camaraderie. The writer examines the way that the children in each novel deal with the situation and it effects them socially and emotionally.
From the Paper
"In McCourt's book, the alcoholic is the father, a man who has a sort of Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde personality because of his drinking. When sober, he is regarded as a kindly and wonderful father, and indeed as a hard-working family man on the job. During the week, he does not drink, while on weekends, after he receives his weekly pay, he comes home drunk and with his money all spent. He is still a major force in the family, getting his children to sing Irish songs and march around the house asserting their readiness to die for their country. His son, though, hates the weekend father who drinks and spends all the family's money. The book reports how the family lived in terrible poverty, and clearly the primary reason for this is the way the father wastes his earnings. In time, he goes away to England to work during the war, promising as other fathers did that he would send money home for the family. As might be expected, he continues to drink his earnings and sends back very little."

Abstract
This paper explores the role of karaoke in Japan as not only a form of entertainment, but a means for carrying out business. The paper contrasts Japanese perceptions of karaoke as a means to develop camaraderie to that of American perceptions, which view karoake as a form of entertainment and a way to establish one's self as a local talent.
From the Paper
"The differences in perception of Karaoke are due in part to the different socialization rituals that exist in Japan and among Americans. In Japan for example, typically individuals conduct a method of meetings referred to as "ringisei" where each member attempts to "achieve consensus rather than score points" (Shimatachi, 102). Consensus building is in fact a staple of solid relational building in the Asian culture. Part of the Karaoke process in Japan includes taking into account the musical preferences of guests, as a proper host would do, and sharing appropriate compliments or jokes after a performance to thank the host for entertaining appropriately (Shimatachi, 102)."

Abstract
The paper reviews the history of firefighting in America, focusing on the growth of camaraderie among firefighters and the changes in organizational structure. The paper discusses the differences in communications between departments caused by logistics, such as the presence or absence of a 911 system. It compares the structures of volunteer and career departments, and how staffing differs. The paper identifies other areas of customer services offered besides the fighting of fires, such as emergency medical services. In conclusion, the writer extrapolates that there may be changes in the future of fire departments' organizational structures to accommodate increased demands for customer service.
From the Paper
"The formal organization of fire departments began just before the Civil War and then recommenced after the war was over. This is one reason why the leadership hierarchy of fire departments is similar to the military. Many of the ranks are the same as in the military and the terminology (e.g., rank, command, unit, battalion) is the same. The structure of fire departments did not change much as some departments first became paid departments. The structure of command was already in place and was not altered simply due to compensation now being paid. Over several decades of paid departments being managed by government entities, some structural changes have occurred in the paid departments. Certain functions, such as hiring, and budgeting have been removed from the individual fire stations, but the chain of command stayed virtually unchanged from a century before. This hierarchy provides for a continuity of leadership when responding to calls, no matter who is on duty."
