Abstract
This paper compares the Latin Kings, which are the largest Hispanic gang and the terrorist group Al-Qaeda which became the most infamous terrorist organization after the September 11th attacks on the United States. The paper discusses how even though these organizations have many similarities in how they operate as well as many differences. It looks at how some similarities involve the fact that they have leadership structures, are involved in criminal activities and will not hesitate to take the life of anyone who opposes the organization. It also examines how some of the differences between the groups include the reasons the organizations came to be, their motivation for action and the willingness to die for the organization.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Unlike the Latin Kings, the terrorist organization of Al-Qaeda has not been in existence nearly as long. In Arabic Al-Qaeda means, "The Base," and is a network of extremists organized by Osama bin-Laden. (Hayes & Brunner, 2006). Bin-Laden is said to have begun Al-Qaeda during the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq in 1990 after studying with radical Islamic thinkers. Bin-Laden became outraged when the government allowed U.S. troops to be stationed in Saudi Arabia which is considered the birthplace of Islam. The Saudi Arabian government expelled bin-Laden for anti-government activities in 1991. (Hayes & Brunner, 2006). Upon being expelled from Saudi Arabia, he established a headquarters for Al-Qaeda in Khartoum, Sudan. However, in 1994 under pressure from Saudi Arabia and the U.S., Sudan expelled bin-Laden as well.

Abstract
This paper examines the similarities and differences of chimpanzee and human DNA, using an exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History as a springboard for the discussion. Chimpanzees and bonobos, another form of ape, are described as humans' closest living relatives, and thus their DNA is very similar. Despite this, the paper states that some of the genes between the species although the same, are used differently in the chimp as they are in humans, and so, they create more differences between us. Research is cited which contends that humans and chimpanzees evolved from a common ancestor, and that shows in our DNA.

From the Paper
"The exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History talks about the similarities between humans and chimps, and helps explain why we are so similar. The website notes, "Human and chimp DNA is so similar because the two species are so closely related. Humans, chimps and bonobos descended from a single ancestor species that lived six or seven million years ago" (Editors). In fact, it is the slow evolution of change between human DNA and chimp DNA that accounts for the differences between the two species today. When you look at the chromosomes of each species side by side, they look remarkably alike, and that shows how close they really are."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the reigns of Charles V, ruler of the Holy Roman Empire to that of Murad III, ruler of the Ottoman empire. The author states that the men were vastly different from one another. But despite their differences, there are many similarities in the reigns of Charles V and Murad III, as both men were mediocre leaders who achieved limited success in their roles. While both men certainly faced difficult circumstances during their rules, the paper describes them as also helping to orchestrate their own failings through personal weaknesses and poor decisions. The author concludes that Charles V and Murad III had similar results: both men left their empires weaker then they found them, and both men helped initiate or expand the process by which their empires decayed.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Murad III, quite similarly, was challenged by internal and external forces, which largely went unchecked as he withdrew from affairs of state. Internally, he faced dissatisfaction publicly and within his inner circle as his harem exerted significant influence over political decisions. Further, his unwise monetary policy led to a revolt among his soldiers. Externally, the growth of the Ottoman Empire dove into stagnation during his rule, and the once-invincible military showed weakness during its conflicts with Persia and Austria."

Abstract
This paper argues that there are scientifically provable differences between the brains of men and women. Specifically, the paper explores how the brains of men and women evolve over time. It also considers how men and women have different intellectual competencies. Lastly, evidence provided by Doreen Kimura suggest that boys and girls differ in their levels of aggression because they really do have minds shaped by widely divergent hormones.

From the Paper
"The next several pages will argue that there really are scientifically provable differences between the brains of men and women. Specifically, the paper will explore how the brains of men and women evolve (atrophy) over time, and the paper will also look at how men and women have different intellectual competencies - differences which, broadly stated, suggest that men are better in the realm of mathematics and mathematical logic while women are better in the realm of language arts and visual memory. Lastly, evidence provided by Doreen Kimura suggest that boys and..."

Abstract
This paper discusses several of the court cases that were impacted by Roe v. Wade, with an emphasis on Sternberg v. Carhart. The initial law established by Roe v. Wade is evaluated and subsequent cases and their effect on women's reproductive rights is further examined. These issues include first and second trimester abortions and partial-birth abortions. The paper analyzes the opinions of the Supreme Court justices who heard Sternberg v. Carhart, and the court's ultimate decision.

Introduction
Background
Analysis
Conclusion

From the Paper
"Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), established that a woman's right to privacy extended to reproductive health and guaranteed that women had a right to abortion. This right to an abortion was not an unlimited right, but was the result of weighing the rights of the mother against the rights of the unborn child. Therefore, the Roe court determined that a woman had a virtually unlimited right to an abortion in the first and second trimesters, prior to fetal viability, but that a state could place restrictions on a woman's right to an abortion after a fetus was viable, in the third trimester. Id., 163-165. However, the Roe court acknowledged that medical advances might change the scope of the decision, especially in regards to Roe's trimester divisions. Id."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the V-Chip technology from a public policy point of view, with focus on its impact on juvenile crime. The paper opens by describing how juvenile crime is on the rise and how many feel there is a link between television violence and juvenile crime. The author then discusses how and why the V-Chip was developed as part of a public policy allowing parents to control access to television programs by their children. The paper then shifts to an evaluation of the technology, why it hasn't been successful, and why it's not a good public policy to be mandated by the government. The author closes by offering some suggestions as to how juvenile crime can be reduced by treating the underlying causes.

Abstract
This paper examines two central speeches in Shakespeare's "Henry V" that reveal how motives and style can impart meaning. The paper portrays Henry V as a sovereign king with a public, political character but not a private character and focuses on Shakespeare's stagecraft.

From the Paper
"Henry V's famous "Once more into the breach dear friends" is so clearly a set piece. Henry commands control of the play as a heroic sovereign, a unifying national leader who stirs his soldiers to noble efforts at Harfleur and again at Agincourt. The most telling speech before the English victory over the French one should note is not the rousing St Crispin battle-cry but the "O God of battles, steel my..."

Abstract
In this paper the author argues that McCullough v. Maryland was one of the most important Supreme Court decisions in history. The paper gives a background to the case, which began in 1791, and shows how the decision applies in modern times. The author describes the difficulties for today's audiences to understand the case's importance. Therefore, the writer stresses understanding the case's principles, not details.

From the Paper
"From a modern perspective, it can be difficult to understand the key issues that the Supreme Court resolved in the dispute. First, a modern audience may have a difficult time understanding why the states had an issue with the idea of a national bank. However, in the time period immediately following the Revolutionary War there was a huge dispute in the Federal government regarding the Federal government's ability to run such a bank..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the Canadian case of R v N in terms of police interrogation. The writer concludes that overzealous use of police interrogation should be controlled.

From the Paper
"According to James W. Williams, in recent years the Canadian criminal justice system has been plagued with a number of high profile wrongful convictions. Particular attention has been directed towards the police and their ability to meet their responsibility to investigate crime effectively while protecting the interests, the rights and freedoms of the accused. As Williams has stated, one notable aspect of police operations that has come under increasing scrutiny in this regard is the police interrogation, a practice ... "
