From the Paper
"Shibley Telhami characterized the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, concluded under the aegis of the United States in 1978, as a remarkable event in Middle East history. From the perspective of international politics, Telhami believes that Camp David provides an excellent opportunity for examining international bargaining and exploring the relative explanatory power of several causal variables. Among these variables are super power and regional relations, conflicts in culture and the actual structure of the process of bargaining as well as the ... "

Abstract
In this essay, a father writes a letter to his son who died while they were in a Japanese Internment camp during World War II. Although this is a fictional account, the emotions and events depicted are vivid and based on truth. This story touches on events such as Roosevelt's order to inter Japanese citizens during the war, as well as describing the lives Japanese-Americans had made for themselves on the West Coast following their immigration to the US. The narrator also discusses the reparations the US government offered to pay Japanese-Americans following the war, questioning whether the money was worth the loss of his only son.
From the Paper
"I was so wrapped up in my own feelings that I barely realized that you were coming down with an awful cold. The cold must have lasted for weeks before I even realized that you were under the weather. Please don't get the idea that I did not care about you. I cared about you deeply but I didn't understand how badly the camp was ruining my perception of the world around me. The look in your face was becoming pale everyday yet I did nothing to help you. I was stuck in my own fear of what would happen if I would actually go and face reality. Writing this letter to you today has made me open up the wounds that will allow me to deal with the scars that were created such a long time ago."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Soviet Union Pioneer summer camp called ARTEK was founded in 1925 along the Black Sea, a beautiful setting in the Crimea near Yalta, which is now in the Ukraine. Foreign children also were welcomed to the camp in hope that they would get a favorable view of the Soviet Union. The paper describes its unique physical structures, the way the camp was run and its importance to the Soviet culture. The paper also discuses the history of child welfare under the communists.
From the Paper
"No matter how well connected a child was within the framework of the Communist Soviet hierarchy at that time, the Times' writer explains, and even if you were the best student in your class or the child of a "Hero of Soviet Labor," you were only allowed to spend one summer of your life at ARTEK.
"It was a high honor to qualify to go to ARTEK, although it wasn't all singing songs, sailing, swimming and having arts and crafts sessions, Specter continues. The students were marched through potato fields in gas masks, and made to perform military-themed exercises."

Abstract
This paper describes, in detail, the trip, the arrival, and the first days at Camp Coover. The author creates the situation, whereby, after lunch, Hannah and Elizabeth decide to go for a jog around the camp because they had free time until dinner, got lost, and have an encounter with a moose, which left Hannah badly injured. The paper continues to portray Hannah's death scene in the hospital with all her family, including her mother, around her; then Hannah's father comes into her room, flips on the light switch, and says, "Wake up, Hannah, you're going to be late for your first day at camp."
From the Paper
"Her parents split up; due to her mothers love for her job, as a doctor in Texas. She was never home and it took an enormous toll on the family. So her parents got divorced and Hannah, her three year old sister, Jennifer, and her father moved to Maine, to be closer to her grandparents. Hannah met Elizabeth in second grade that year; and ever since they had been best friends. Both of them had been dreaming of the day when their parents thought they were old enough to go to summer camp."

Abstract
This paper discusses how, though many attempts have been made to assuage the turmoil that has escalated during the course of time between Israel and Palestine, perhaps no effort was more significant (and controversial) as the Camp David Peace Talks of 2000. The paper examines the basic outline of the Camp David Summit of 2000 and the points of negotiation/contention. Taking each point individually, the paper attempts to assess why the Palestinians felt they got the "short end of the stick" and how no real progress was made.
From the Paper
"It is important to note, that the borders for the West Bank were somewhat modified from their original structure prior to 1967, and this was due to what were known as the 1993 Oslo Accords. The new borders were described as what is now known as the "Green Line" borders, that were demarcated during these 1993 talks (Gelvin 32). This delineation was something that both Israel and Palestine had come into agreement with.
With regards to these borders, Palestinians wanted full control of the West Bank up to this region. What then Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak proposed was to set up a Palestinian state on approximately 100% of the Gaza Strip, and 70% of the West Bank region (to the "Green Line" borders), with gradual withdrawal of Israeli occupation, increasing that number to nearly 90% in a span of about 25 years (Gelvin 32).

Abstract
The first part of the paper looks at the goals of the accords, particularly in terms of economics, politics, and the military. The next part looks at the behavior that the Israeli, Egyptian, and the United States governments brought to the bargaining table at Camp David. Particular attention is paid to the dual role the American government played as both participant and mediator in these negotiations. In the conclusion, the paper examines why the Camp David Accords failed to bring about a permanent peace in the region and makes recommendations regarding the conditions necessary for a lasting peace in the Middle East.
From the Paper
'Signed in 1978, the historic Camp David Accords were supposed to usher in a new era of peace between Israel and Egypt. Because the deal was brokered by then President Jimmy Carter at his Maryland presidential retreat, the Camp David Accords also signified the growing role of the United States in maintaining an international balance of power. The accord further illustrated how this global and regional balance of power has superseded traditional territorial conquests in the Middle East region, raising hopes that diplomatic channels could help bring about an elusive peace.'

Abstract
In this paper, this character analysis focuses on the unethical and cruel behavior by the doctor/father figure in "Indian Camp" by Earnest Hemingway. The inherent lessons that the doctor imparts on his son reflect his racism and lack of human compassion for his patients. This is the unethical foundation for the doctor's behavior, as he views the human body as a mere engine that he has the power to heal. Without humanism and a quest for deeper compassion, the doctor behaves cruelly toward the woman, which results in the suicide of her husband.
From the Paper
"This literary analysis will seek to understand the inherent sense of cruelty and racism that resides within the behaviors of the father/doctor character in Hemingway's "Indian Camp." By observing how the doctor's actions and behaviors reveal the coldness of medical practitioner in Hemingway's narrative, one can understand why ethics is a major issue in this story. By observing the father/doctor character in Earnest Hemingway's "Indian Camp" one can realize the racism and unethical medical behavior that arises in this tale. In Earnest Hemingway's short story: "Indian Camp" an unethical doctor must evaluate and then surgically remove a child due to problem at birth for a native Indian woman."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that there has been a significant increase in juvenile crime rates, overburdened juvenile courts, and growing costs of youth detention in the past decade, that has in turn caused an overcrowding of prisons. The writer points out that the United States as a society has been forced to create alternative means for placing young juvenile delinquents and that one of the alternatives to placing these teens in prisons is to place them in juvenile boot camps. These boot camps are a correctional program for youth that are formatted in a military style atmosphere. The writer discusses that placing troubled teens in these juvenile boot camps has both pros and cons, but overall they are not a good option. The writer concludes that, although these do have a few good aspects such as cost effectiveness, they are not the best option for juvenile delinquents, and then argues that something smaller and community based would be a much better option for troubled youth.
From the Paper
"Boot camps are meant to emphasize physical labor, exercise, and are usually arranged around a military type atmosphere. Adherence to the rules and regulations of the program are strictly enforced. They were originally designed for adults but juvenile correctional facilities began using them as well. Three pilot sites were established in 1992 in Cleveland, Ohio, Denver, Colorado, and Mobile, Alabama. They primarily held nonviolent offenders that were age 18 or younger. They also are mainly designed for males rather than both male and female. The program would consist of a three to sixth month program and once the offender graduated they would then begin an after care program that would last between six and nine months. Most commonly the initial phase would be broken up into three thirty day phases to total ninety days. The youth are exposed to a military like routine, discipline, physical conditioning, and rehabilitative programming including academic instruction, counseling, and substance abuse education."
