Abstract
The paper discusses the topic of the war on terrorism in America. Specifically it discusses how the American war on terrorism has created numerous threats to civil liberties in the USA. The paper states that many Americans fear the threat of another terrorist attack, and believe the government has the right to take any measures necessary to keep that from happening. The paper concludes that many of the government's tactics threaten the civil liberties of Americans, a topic that is often overlooked in the war on terrorism.

From the Paper
"However, there are many areas where experts show American civil liberties are being threatened or decreased. For example, recent Congressional inquiries and votes indicate the concern over loss of civil liberties when it comes to phone surveillance and records. After 9/11, the US Patriot Act modified many rules and regulations regarding gathering foreign and domestic intelligence. One of the most controversial was the ability to wiretap or listen to phone, wireless phone, and email communications. Before 9/11, there were stringent guidelines on what type of communication could be wiretapped, and suspects who were wiretapped had to be notified if the evidence collected could be used against them in court. The Patriot Act relaxed these rules, making it much easier for agencies to wiretap both foreign and domestic phone calls, with little or no provocation. This means that the government essentially can listen to any conversation they want to, whether they believe it has a relationship to the war on terror, or not, which is clearly a violation of the right to privacy guaranteed in the Constitution (Etzioni 52). A recent bill would have absolved communications companies of any liability in these wiretapping cases, but Congress defeated that bill, indicating the growing concern over the loss of civil liberties."

Abstract
The war aims of the belligerents in World War One are diverse and complex. This paper will consider them according to the following tripartite categorization: political, economic, and security issues. It will be shown that although the different belligerents may have differed in the emphasis each one placed on the different categories, they all shared essentially the same aims in the war: expression of nationalistic pride, the protection of national commerce, and the security of their nations against the belligerence of other states.

Abstract
This paper reviews Catton's book which compares the characteristics of the soldiers who fought in the American Civil War to other soldiers. The main claim was that these soldiers were very young and unprofessional but highly motivated. The writer shows that the most striking difference between the Civil War soldier and those of the modern day was in their attitudes toward the army and discipline.

From the Paper
"Known as one of America's most "popular", yet scholarly, historians, Bruce Catton (1899-1978) was the editor of American Heritage magazine and the author of several widely read books on the subject of the Civil War. His works, including this particular essay, are based on the foundations of accurate research and the ability to analyze the Civil War as both a broad, historically important event, yet also displaying an understanding of the individual, human conflicts involved. Soldiering in the Civil War is a vivid example of Catton's skill in presenting factual evidence and interesting anecdotes in a manner which allows the reader to gain an insight into the emotions, struggles and beliefs of all those who fought in the Civil War."

From the Paper
"The Civil War represented one of the most important parts in the history of the United States. It was the essence of the American struggle for democracy as well as for the national identity and unity that would eventually emerge after its end. The premises of the war revolved around the issue of the Texan territory. Thus, the early connections were established "at the invitation of a Mexican government that had just won its independence from Spain. However, by 1830, Mexico was alarmed at the influx of a population alien in language and culture, suspect in political allegiance, and committed to slavery in defiance of Mexico's recent abolition of the institution" (McPherson, 2001) Therefore, what started as a limited relationship came to be seen as a possible threat."

Abstract
This paper explains why Dr. Martin Luther King decided to utilize the strategies of non-violence and civil disobedience as the guiding principles of the civil rights movement, of which he was the leader from December 1955 until his assassination in April 1968. The paper also summarizes some of the highlights of the movement, explains Dr. King's views about white moderates and about the role of black churches in the movement, provides some details about the violence that was inflicted by racists on the non-violent civil rights protesters, and concludes with a summary of the landmark legislative achievements of the civil rights movement between 1964 and 1968.

Abstract
The television media was a crucial vehicle in the ascendancy of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. In many respects, the media helped civil rights succeed during this period, which explains, in part, why civil rights efforts were not as successful during the pre-television period. Even more interesting, and perturbing, is the fact that the post-civil rights period witnessed television playing a negative influence in the context of African-American equality. Indeed, as the theme in Todd Gitlin's "The Whole World is Watching: Mass Media in the Making and the Unmaking of the New Left" suggests, television helped the civil rights movement succeed, just as it helped curtail it.

From the Paper
"Filing a complaint with the court initiates the civil action process. The summons is signed by the clerk and bears the seal of the court. It identifies the court where the process started as well as the defendant. It states the name and address of the plaintiff. It also states the time when the defendant must appear and notify the defendant that failure to do so will result in a judgment by default against the defendant for the relief demanded in the complaint. Upon or after filing the complaint, the plaintiff may present the summons to the clerk for signature and seal. If the summons is in proper form, the clerk shall sign, seal, and issue it to the plaintiff for service on the defendant, and copies are issued for each defendant to be served. A summons is served with a copy of the complaint, and the plaintiff is responsible for service of a summons and complaint within 120 days or the court dismisses the complaint."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses how civil unrest and terrorism impact technology and how technology impacts on civil unrest and terrorism.

From the Paper
"There is a very real nexus between civil unrest terrorism and technology with technology in its various manifestations facilitating the rise of terrorist activity facilitating civil unrest and rendering society and its members less safe than in the past. As Stephen Handelman has noted new technologies and particularly cyber-based technologies and biotechnologies have made civil protest easier to achieve and coordinate and enhanced the capacity of would-be terrorists to attack their targets. One can argue as this report will that the rise of ..."
