Abstract
The paper examines how the Omega 3 supplemental nutrient has been included with increasing regularity in investigative studies concerning heart disease, cancer, chronic joint pains and a large variety of learning or memory disabilities. The paper explores a study that asserts that the metabolic failure to process the Omega 3 nutrient results in a nutritional deficiency that directly impacts the dexterity and sharpness of one's mental faculties, and is a core cause for ADHD. The paper also outlines two studies on the prospects of Omega 3 preventing heart risk or mortality. The paper concludes that the apparent gains of the supplement are sufficient to enforce the recommendation of its usage in individuals at high risk for the mental and physical conditions discussed in this paper.

From the Paper
"The absence of such supplements, it is therefore suggested, could be affiliated with some degrees of impairment. Among its proposed health benefits, it is said to bear a direct relationship to certain mental processes which impact learning and reasoning aptitudes. According to research which is notably tied to the endorsement of a particular brand of the Fish Oil-based supplement, "it appears that children with ADHD just are not able to chemically convert the plant Omega 3." (Mercola, 327) It is therefore the proposition of this source that one of the suspected causes of ADHD is indeed a deficiency in a nutrient that is crucial to the balance of one's nutritional and intellectual well-being. The study holds that what appears to be a core cause for ADHD is the metabolic failure to process the Omega 3 nutrient from common digestion, resulting in a nutritional deficiency that directly impacts the dexterity and sharpness of one's mental faculties."

Abstract
This paper examines how, in 1946, the French entered a war against the Viet Minh who desired Viet Nam's independence and were led by communist Ho Chi Minh. It looks at how American long-term fear of Communism and the unity of Vietnam under Ho Chi Minh encouraged the U.S. to maintain its involvement with this Asian country and how it was not until 1973 and a multitude of losses that America finally pulled out. It analyzes whether Ho Chi Minh was a major threat to Western democracy, basing its facts on the book, "Ho Chi Minh", by world-renowned authority on Vietnam, William Duiker, who concludes that Ho Chi Minh was a Vietnamese patriot and a leader with whom the U.S. could and should have been able to work.

From the Paper
"In fact, Ho Chi Minh was not always treated well by his fellow Communist leaders (ibid). When Ho visited Moscow in 1950, Stalin's attitude to his guest was, according to Nikita Khrushchev, "offensive" and "infuriating." The situation with Mao Tse-Tung in China was not much better. Having convinced himself that war with America was a necessary evil and might break out anywhere on the Chinese borders, Mao looked on Vietnam as a useful buffer state, or another Korea. Ho regarded the Chinese with great uneasiness; one of the constant themes of Vietnam's history has been resistance to Chinese domination."

Abstract
This paper examines Ho Chi Minh's early life in order to understand how he impacted not only Vietnam but the world, up until his death on September 3, 1969. This paper looks at Vietnam's history and explains how Ho Chi Minh's leadership affected the country. By understanding the personality of this cunning, ruthless and murderous leader, it shows how he so easily manipulated his people, the media and others to express his goals.

From the Paper
"During the period of 1919-1923, Ho became quite an activist for the Communist Movement then afoot throughout Europe and other places such as his native Asia, specifically Vietnam. He was in fact one of the founders of the French Communist Party. He studied, wrote, lectured, and organized on several fronts. He, in 1919 when President Wilson was in Paris for the Versailles Peace Conference, tried to meet with the President. He was totally rebuffed and Isolationist United States did not even consider his proposals for Vietnam's independence. A mistake which costs us dearly in the not too distant future as we all are aware of in so many ways."

Abstract
The paper argues that the rules of Stalin, Mao and Ho Chi Minh existed as the result of both the charisma of the leader and the favorable political environments. The paper further argues that these dictators held on to their power through a complex mechanism of propaganda and emotional and psychological influences on the masses.

From the Paper
"There has been a wide debate concerning the elements which brought to power dictators such as Josef Stalin, Mao Zedong, or Ho Chi Minh. Some have argued that in fact they were the example of democracy or the choice of their peoples. Other haves considered that in fact their rule represented the result of the violent takeovers of power. Regardless of the means through which they reached powers, such dictators held on to their power through different techniques and strategies which manipulated the masses and allowed them to gain control, not in a physical manner only, but also through the common perceptions of the people."

Abstract
This paper compares two films, one from Japan, Hayao Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro" and China, Yuen Woo-Ping's "The Tai Chi Master." It analyzes the aspects involving the relationship nature has with the beliefs and values of the Shinto and Taoism religion that are prevalent in the films. The author states that the films' similarities reveal the common ideals that both religions are founded on: respect and gratitude towards nature and its power.

From the Paper
"Hayao Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro" and Yuen Woo-Ping's "The Tai Chi Master," one from Japan and another from China, will be analyzed in order to see how the beliefs and values of Shinto associate nature with human beings while Taoism interprets nature as the ultimate source of power. My Neighbor Totoro reveals Shinto beliefs throughout the films by presenting the audiences how Shinto belief "that nature has a great deal of influence on human beings and actions one takes originate from nature" has become a critical factor of Japanese people's life on a daily basis. The Tai Chi Master emphasizes the notion that one can strengthen himself from understanding the order of nature. Yuen leads the audiences through the main character's ordeal and how he manages to recover from the emotional and physical injury by questioning himself about the force and order of nature which eventually enables him to discover the path leads to his goal."

Abstract
This paper discusses the philosophy, practice, history and main principles of Taoism. The paper also explains its social importance and the benefits of bringing the body and spirit into harmony through practiced movement.

From the Paper
"Taoism, or as it is often called Daoism, basically equates to English as the path or way. Taoism is more than an ancient Chinese spiritual philosophy or discipline. Robinson maintains that the concept of Taoism is fairly indefinable and must be experienced for Taoism refers to a power which envelops, surrounds and flows through all things living and non-living. The Tao is seen regulating the natural processes and nourishing the balance in the individual and the universe."

Abstract
The paper shows that national identity is crucial to the Vietnamese because they have an extensive history of colonial rule, beginning in 2nd Century B.C. and ending in 1945 when the Vietnamese drove the French out of their land. The paper traces the rise in Vietnamese nationalism until Ho Chi Minh rose as a communist and nationalist leader in the 1940s to unite his fellow countrymen.

From the Paper
"Vietnamese nationalism and anti- colonialism are indistinguishable because many of the nationalist organizations revolted against French colonial rule. National pride and unique national identity were possible only when oppressive colonial rulers were defeated. From the mid 18th century to 1945, France influenced Vietnam through physical presence like building hydraulic dams, and indirect presence by France manipulating Vietnamese officials as if they were puppets . Between 1904 and 1960, Vietnamese leaders formed numerous revolutionary organizations . Modern Vietnamese nationalism, for the sake of this brief paper, begins at the turn of the century."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the life of Ted Bundy, the serial killer. The paper considers how his childhood molded him and what his patterns as a killer can tell us about serial killers in general.

From the Paper
"Ted Bundy is perhaps the most notorious serial killer in American history. The fact that Bundy was an intelligent, good looking and charming young man stunned the public as he did not fit the standard image of a serial killer that most people held. However, it is important to consider Bundy's childhood and background in order to understand how a man like Bundy could become a cold blooded rapist and murderer."
