Abstract
The paper examines how Canada played a large part in the bomber command offensive missions of the Allies against Germany. The paper examines what prompted the Allies to bomb non-military targets and carry out what many consider to be immoral missions and then discusses the argument of many, that the bomber command offensive missions were necessary for the Allies to win the war. The paper also looks at the research regarding these attacks and asserts that one cannot prove that the bomber command missions were necessary for the Allies to win the war. The paper contends that since these missions were greatly immoral, Canada should have refused to take part and should have concentrated their efforts towards other areas of warfare.

From the Paper
"During World War Two, the world witnessed the use of air warfare in numbers and consequence unlike any time before. The ideas of strategic air power started during the First World War. It was the Germans who thought of it first. British civilians were accustomed to being sheltered from the ravages of war as Britain was largely insulated by the English Channel. As a result the sight of German Zeppelin over London naturally frightened British civilians. The British made sure they were prepared when it came to the Second World War. They wanted to be ready to fight the battle in the air. Bomber Command was made up of groups of allied airmen who carried out a strategic bombing offensive on Germany in World War two. These Bomber Command attacks have become a highly debated topic of World War Two History. There are strong arguments to support both sides of the debate."

Abstract
This paper criticizes the divine command theory which states that morality is based entirely upon religious principles. The paper cites examples from the Bible and uses the Euthyphro Argument to debunk the Divine Command Theory. Much of the paper's strong argument is based on Ross Shafer-Landua's book "The Fundamentals of Ethics," which lends several quotations to this essay.

From the Paper
"Shafer-Landau does an adequate job of explaining the origin of the Euthyphro Argument, but the portion to the critical is the quote, "Does God command us to do actions because they are morally right, or are actions morally right because God commands them?" (p. 62). The question poses a discomforting enigma to Devine Command Theorists. The first possibility is impossible to compute. If God commands things because they are morally correct, then the implication is that God did not invent morality. However, God invented everything, so he must also have invented morality. Thus the breakdown of the first half of the quote; it is an impossibility."

Abstract
A look at the leadership skills required for naval command. The author discusses the characteristics necessary for successful naval command: resilience, toughness, ruthlessness, and examines how these apply in case study examples.

From the Paper
'Leadership and command are dependent on a complex mixture of several factors that make any attempt to quantify the qualities as a concept elusive. In any situation, which is of itself a huge variable, the opportunities presented and the individual personality and capacity must be analyzed in conjunction with, and often juxtaposed against, the context. Thus in many respects leadership and command can only really be studied on a case by case basis. In terms of naval command the problem is compounded by the medium itself, the sea. When the entropy of war is the background to which the particular scenario is set the problem of quantification would seem to be even more difficult.'

Abstract
This paper discusses the successes and shortcomings in solving economic problems within command, free market, and mixed economies. The paper compares each of these economic systems and their effectiveness, and specifically looks and their strengths and weaknesses with regards to productivity and distribution. The paper also discusses examples of each system within different countries.

From the Paper
"In conclusion, while there are few pure command or free market economies in the world, most economic systems are loosely based on one of the two systems. Both pure systems have their strengths and weaknesses in production and distribution - the cores of the basic economic problem, which both systems are designed to overcome. The strength of the free market economy lies in its superior productivity when compared to the command system, which is better at redistributing wealth. The mixed economy, a loose term which can describe any economy in the world, is an economic model most highly developed within Scandinavia. It aims to combat the disadvantages of the pure systems by adopting aspects from both. This is reasonably effective, but not perfect. However, a more resilient and equitable economic system borrows aspects from both theoretical systems."

Abstract
The benefits of the incident command system as a vital tool utilized by emergency service agencies. The paper describes how this system allows the various emergency units to cooperate with each other in times of need. It outlines the problems which can occur, and offers solutions to these issues.

From the Paper
"The incident command system that is utilized by fire services and other emergency service agencies is describes as "a standardized on-scene emergency management concept specifically designed to allows its users to adopt an integrated organizational structure equal to the complexity and demands of single or multiple incidents, without being hindered by jurisdictional boundaries" (NICI)."

Abstract
This essays proposes a study in the area of what elicits compliance in children and discusses the difference in effectiveness of "do" and "don't" commands. It proposes a study that aims to provide additional information on the level of performance of children when given a "do" command. The study will ask if children will be more likely to perform a "do" command at an earlier age if a parent is close by. The paper hypothesizes that children will be more apt to follow a "do" request at an earlier age with a parent nearby than if a parent is not present.

From the Paper
"In support of this development theory is the fact that children will more easily comply to "do" requests as they age. According to Kochanska, Coy and Murray (2001) for example, children greatly improve in this process between one and three years of age. Changes occur on a continuum from infancy to pre-school age. When children are a year to one-and-a-half years old, they start recognizing social demands and begin to be able to alter their behavior when a parent asks."

"The Compatibility of "Command and Control" with TQM methods

Hypothesis
The traditional American management style of "command and control" can be compatible with total quality control methods.

Background
One of the difficulties with employing management methodologies is defining the relative differences between styles, especially in an age where customer driven total quality management seems to be leading the charge. The use of "command and control" leadership in business management is useful only to a degree, being in many cases a reaction to situations that have already occurred. Traditional management too often relies on ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the hypothetical scenario outlined in the chapter four of Doctor John Gottman's book, "The Relationship Cure", , is built upon neuroscientist, Jaak Pankepp's concept of the "emotional command system." The paper discusses how people fit into the archetypes discussed in the chapter and how those different personality traits and behaviors affect and influence relationships.

From the Paper
"The chapter opens with a hypothetical scenario about a group of friends who gather at a wilderness resort. Each person has a different personality and different interests, therefore, each person has a different idea about how the trip is going to go. There is the "Commander-in-Chief", the person who planned the whole thing. There is the "Explorer", the one wanting to get out and see things. There is the "Sentry", the person who's on the look-our for danger. Then there is the "Energy Czar", the person who most likely has a schedule and a plan that requires following. The "Sensualist" is planning to rekindle a romance with the "Explorer". The Jester is the one who just wants to relax. And finally, the "Nest-Builder" just wants to settle in and make everybody happy and feeling at home."
