Abstract
An ethical dilemma that many face today is not as clear-cut as some would claim. In the digital age, it is very easy to copy a wide variety of material without paying for it. This issue is raised most often today with reference to music, but that is only one example. It is relatively easy to see how downloading songs from the Internet would be a violation of copyright, but copying a CD that you have purchased is not as clearly right or wrong, just as copying other kinds of material might also not be as clearly right or wrong.

This was brought to mind a few days ago when a friend was using a computer scanner to scan a book he borrowed from the library into his computer so he could refer to it for the next several

Abstract
This paper of shows the difference between the movies Pow Wow Highway and Evolution's End: The Clear Cut Facts- one fiction and one documentary - and how each one attempts to get its message across in an alternative form. It also shows how the use of movies has increased as a political tool for marginalized groups in society. The Native Americans population is the focus of this paper.

Abstract
Tax policies recently introduced into the United States House of Representatives will effectively reduce the tax burden for the average citizen in Florida. This paper discusses how, despite Democratic concerns over the expanding federal deficit, it is clear that the effect of bills like H.R. 4275, which made permanent the 10-percent tax bracket for the first $7,000 of income, will result in more money in the pockets of American citizens, including citizens of Florida.

From the Paper
"On May 13, 2004, the United States House of Representatives put forward bill H.R.4275, also known as the 10 Percent Tax Bracket Extension and Permanency Act. Sponsored by Republican Pete Sessions, this bill was designed to "amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to permanently extend the 10-percent individual income tax rate bracket". The bill was successfully passed, by a vote of 344 pro to 76 against (Library of Congress)."

Abstract
The following paper will briefly argue that raising taxes is not as good an idea as cutting out superfluous benefits. After critiquing R.H Frank's 2007 article on the matter, the proper direction we should take to combat the coming fiscal crisis should be evident. particularly, it should be clear that the focus must be on cutting back entitlements - not just raisint taxes.

Raising Taxes: If the US Does it, Should Canada Do It, too? The following paper will briefly argue that raising taxes is not as good an idea as cutting out superfluous benefits. After critiquing R.H Frank's 2007 article on the matter, the proper direction we should take to combat the coming fiscal crisis should be evident. Whether people want to acknowledge it or not, raising taxes may be the only thing America has left as it struggles to recapture its economic equilibrium after years of excess spending and after years of living on borrowed money. Robert H. Frank (2007) writes that Americans are sliding towards second-class economic status in the world economy - in large

Is the Cleaning Service Important to You?
What Are the Reasons That You Do Not Use Cleaning Service?

From the Paper
"Research gathering is helpful to locate the target market. Gathering and analyzing information are important to find the best probable answer for this business; how to grow. Without research, the business owner would not be able to make intelligent and logical decisions. Marketing strategy is very important to grow the business. The 4Ps of marketing: Product (cleaning service), price (how much the service will cost), place (identify the target market) and promotion (advertising type) are the key to achieving these goals. A solid investment in consistent, relatively intense advertising can get the business to an outstanding weekly sales volume. It is very important for an owner of a cleaning business to know who he/she is and what gets him/her excited. This will help the business owner reach his/her goals."

Abstract
In this paper it is argued that the origins of the Cold War remain the subject of historical controversy. This paper critically examines how the Cold War began and the question of who started it. This paper argues the thesis that the question of who started the Cold War is irrelevant and that it was an inevitable outcome of the geo-political arrangement of the world in the 20th century. This essay also evaluates the two competing historical points of view on the Cold War: the so-called "orthodox" and "revisionist" schools.

Abstract
This paper examines autism, describing it as a multi-faceted, complex and enigmatic disorder. The paper discusses the details of the disorder and the methods available for diagnosis. The many different signs and symptoms of autism are outlined. The paper illustrates how the broad range of symptoms and lack of clear-cut inclusion and exclusion criteria allow for misdiagnoses and confusion with other disorders. The paper presents the theories of the etiology of autism. The paper concludes with a claim that while there is some evidence of a biological correlation or genetic and familial link, this evidence is far from conclusive and at present has not yielded any practical treatment options.

From the Paper
"Autism (also known as pervasive developmental disorder) is defined by the Columbia encyclopedia as "A rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by the inability to relate to and perceive the environment in a realistic manner". Its onset is defined to occur in infancy or early childhood, generally before age thirty months, and males are affected four times more often then females. Symptoms include impairment in social interaction, fixation on inanimate objects, an inability to communicate normally, and resistance to changes in the daily routine (Columbia University Press 1993)."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Canadian forest ecosystems and resources are threatened because of intensive forestry operations, especially clear-cutting. The paper also looks at how forests have been poorly managed across Canada with some badly designed solutions to the problem of disappearing forest resources. The paper shows how the proposal to export in quantity is a very damaging one under present conditions. The paper is of the opinion that Canada's forest industry needs a new perspective based on balance and diversity, specifically, an ecosystems approach.

From the Paper
"Forestry resources in Canada a few decades ago were available in great abundance. These resources are poorly managed and definitely should not be exported in quantity. Forest covers nearly fifty percent of the total surface area are in Canada. These forests supply about one-fifth of the total world's demand for timber. Forest resources are seen as a renewable resource and they have been exploited. At the same way, forests have been seen as inexhaustible and therefore they have been exploited intensively. For decades, there has been no concern about how these resources might be renewed. Forest resources cannot be renewed and made available without any limits, at least not with present methods."

Abstract
This paper examines the evolution of the hero as a response to the changing virtues of the American people. The paper explains that throughout the history of drama in the United States of America, the playwrights have used the heroes in their plays to reflect the ideal that people hoped to live up to. The paper looks at how the hero is the playwright's best interpretation of what the definition of virtue is to the people of his time. The paper points out that Royall Tyler shows a very clear cut definition of a hero during a time when a clear cut definition is needed in an effort to define the nation. The paper further looks at how Tyler takes what he assumes are all the most virtuous traits a man can possess and uses them to create his heroic characters. The paper also discusses how Boucicault writes during a less concrete time and that the ideals that were solid for decades come under fire as the country begins to split itself in two.

From the Paper
"The Contrast by Royall Tyler displays the social and economic ideals of the time. This play was written during a period of transition for the United States of America. They had just gained their freedom from the British after years of fighting the Revolutionary War, and the people of America were learning how to govern themselves while trying to sort out the immense debt they incurred during the war. The patriotic people of the United States valued their freedom and independence but were indebted to many countries in Europe for their support during the war with Britain. The Americans also had to develop their own government that would grant them personal liberties but still provide a framework for a functional country."

Abstract
The debate over whether or not English-only policies are justified in the American workplace is sure to continue; however, there is no clear-cut guidelines to determine whether or not a company should have an English-only policy. The best advice to date is to limit the implementation of an English-only policy unless there is a clear business necessity that presents justification for having one. This paper presents an overview of the English-only debate in the United States, including background information and arguments made by proponents and opponents. The paper closes with a set of guidelines for organizations deciding to either maintain or implement English-only policies and recommended alternatives to English-only policies in the American workplace.

From the Paper
"English-only is an extremely broad term. For the purposes of this paper English-only policies are the entire spectrum of language policies enforced in the workplace that either promote the usage of English or restrict the usage of non-English languages in some way. In the broader English-only debate there are other terms used to differentiate the specific type of policies enforced. In governmental legislation, an English-only law would be a law allowing "only" English usage and no usage of other languages. On the contrary, an Official English policy or law would make English the official language of use, but not restrict the usage of languages other than English. The fact that many individuals involved in English-only debates are using the same terminology to refer to different types of policies adds to the confusion. It also helps explain why, in the court rulings, it is almost impossible to provide a clear definition of why certain policies are legal and others are illegal (Hoffman, 2001, p. 3). In the United States, neither the constitution nor the federal law codifies English as the nation's official language (Santoro, 1999, p. 890). So contrary to belief of many, English is not the official language of the United States. However, twenty-three states have active Official English statutes and others are pending (Crawford, 2002). But even these statutes vary enormously. Some state statutes simply declare English as the official language of the state in sort of a symbolic gesture; much the same way state birds are named (American Civil Liberties Union, 2002). Other states, such as Arizona, which has the, "the most restrictively worded official-English law" (Arington, 1991), take their statutes much more seriously. Some state and local language laws have gone as far as to restrict the governments from providing emergency services such as police lines in non-English languages (American Civil Liberties Union, 2002)."
