Abstract This six page undergraduate paper examines Ho Chi Minh, who was one of the most charismatic leaders of the twentieth-century. The writer points out that his innate intelligence, long life and foreign travels provided him with a great depth of knowledge of politics, human nature, and the psychology of leadership. The writer discusses that he applied all that he learned as he led his people towards independence, first against the French and then against the Americans.
From the Paper "Ho Chi Minh was one of the most charismatic leaders of the twentieth-century. His innate intelligence, long life and foreign travels provided him with a great depth of knowledge of politics, human nature, and the psychology of leadership. He applied all that'd he'd learned as he led his people towards independence, first against the French and then against the Americans. He was beloved by his people, who reverently called him "Uncle Ho" and it was this intense loyalty that enabled the small Asian country of North Vietnam to defeat the superpower military might of the United States in the Vietnam War."
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 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 seven-page undergraduate paper examines the revolutionary leaders Emilio Aguinaldo in the Philippines and Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam. The author discusses similarities and differences in geopolitical conditions, key events, methods, goals, and strategies.
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 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."

Abstract This paper summarizes and discusses the key facts in a legal suit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama where the plaintiffs brought suit against the defendants for the wrongful death of their parent. The paper examines the decision of the the U.S. District Court, which sided in favor of the plaintiffs, Michael F. Braun and Ian Braun, and against the defendants, Soldier of Fortune Magazine, Inc. and Omega Group, Ltd., and awarded the plaintiffs $2 million, $375 thousand and $10 million in compensatory and punitive damages.
Abstract This paper reviews the nutritional aspects of caring for individuals suffering from pancreatitis. The paper explores whether or not enteral as opposed to parenteral induction is best when administering nutrients to patients. It then examines what sorts of immuno-nutrients will best facilitate a return to robust health. In the end, the paper concludes that a proper nutritional regimen for sufferers of pancreatitis will include enteral induction and a diet heavy in Glutamine, Arginine and Omega-3 fatty acids.
From the Paper "In closing briefly, this paper has explored what sort of nutritional program should be followed vis-a-vis the sufferers of pancreatitis. While a paper of this length can only go into superficial detail, the available evidence indicates that enteral induction and certain immuno-nutrients - chiefly Glutamine, Arginine, and Omega-3 fatty acids - are essential components of a successful nutritional regimen. More than that, the evidence would seem to suggest that traditional isocaloric and isonitrogenous formulas, while not necessarily inefficacious, are certainly not as strong as they might be with immno-nutrient supplementation. In the end, a few changes in diet can make enormous difference."
Abstract The paper examines studies and reports on the importance of nutrition on the fetus and on the later development of the child and adult. The paper specifically discusses the need for folic acid, linoleic and omega 3 fatty acids, choline and zinc. The paper notes that there has been an increase of community and social awareness of the importance of nutrition and the problems that result from certain prenatal dietary deficiencies.

From the Paper "These findings have been supported and verified by many other studies and reports on the subject. For example, a recent study notes that there have been calls in the profession to make nutrition a distinct pediatric discipline. This is due to the fact that, "There is growing evidence that good nutritional care influences clinical outcomes and that optimal nutrition affects long term health and development. (Van Ripper, C. 2005)
"The importance of nutrition on the development of the baby is also underlined by the knowledge that the essential differentiation of tissues and the formation of organs take place in the first trimester of pregnancy. It follows therefore that,"... providing the growing fetus with the best nutrition possible is essential. Unlike a newborn, who can cry when he or she is hungry, the fetus has to hope that plenty of nutrients will make their way through the placenta" (Dolby V., 1998)"
Abstract The paper explores the impact of Ho Chi Minh on North Vietnamese politics and economic development and how the political reality of the time molded official economic policy. The paper goes on to show how the Five Year Plan under Ho Chi Minh's DRV development plan was not only ineffective, it greatly reduced Vietnam's general ability to compete on the international market. The paper points out, however, that Vietnam has recognized these errors and has now begun the slow process of rebuilding and transitioning to a market economy.
From the Paper "For much of the 19th and 20th centuries, Vietnam was largely dominated through the imperialist dynasty of France. Not until the early 1950s the Vietnam finally fights back against their European overlords to reclaim their own country. The anti French struggle within Vietnam brought the first instance of real patriotic and nationalistic pride. In the wake of its split from French control, Vietnam has become a model of economic and political crisis. The political uprising against the French was led by a combination of Northern and Southern political leaders. In the north a pro-communist regime was implemented under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh, while the South pandered to the Americans. While both sides were able to reconcile their differences during the French rebellion, they soon found that it was infeasible to stay politically united."
A paper which looks at Vietnamese nationalism and the rise of Ho Chi Minh to power in 1945, against the backdrop of thousands of years of extensive colonial rule.
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 explains that the conquest and colonialization by France of Vietnam began by using the Catholic Church and their missionaries as an advance party to eliminate the threat to France's other vast southeast Asia holdings and ended with France's embarrassing military defeat in 1954 at Dien Bien Phu. The author points out that the nationalist movement arose in Vietnam in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and gained momentum during the Japanese occupation of World War II; after the end of World War II, the Vietminh party (the League for the Independence of Vietnam, a coalition of nationalists and Communist groups), headed by Ho Chi Minh, established a republic with its capital at Hanoi. The paper relates that President Truman, not President Kennedy, were the first leader to entangle the U.S. in the Vietnamese malaise because Truman actually sent military forces to set up missions in Indochina to protect the United Nations troops in Korea from being attacked by Communists from both China and North Vietnam.

From the Paper "The first European missionary executed in the Vietnamese Central capital of Hue was Frenchman Francois Isidore Gagelin. This of course was a public and highly publicized event wherein the Good Father Gagelin was publicly strangled. Not hanged mind you but strangled with two beefy hands of a huge Vietnamese executioner. This incident happened in the late 1830s and stuck in the minds of both the Catholic Church and the French government."
Abstract "Acupuncture, Qigong, and Chinese Medicine often called oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), encompasses a vast array of folk medical practices based on mysticism. It holds that the body's vital energy (chi or qi) circulates through 14 channels, called meridians that have branches connected to bodily organs and functions. Illness is attributed to imbalance or interruption of chi. Ancient practices such as acupuncture and Qigong are claimed to restore balance. Traditional acupuncture, as now practiced, involves the insertion of stainless steel needles into various body areas. A low-frequency current may be applied to the needles to produce greater stimulation. Other procedures used separately or together with acupuncture include: moxibustion (burning of floss or herbs applied to the skin); injection of sterile water, procaine, morphine, vitamins, or homeopathic solutions through the inserted needles; applications of laser beams (laser puncture); placement of needles in the external ear (auriculotherapy); and acupressure (use of manual pressure). (Knipschild, 1990)"
