Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of the Ten Commandments that the Jewish people received from God. It examines each commandment individually, discussing its importance. The author also discusses why the Jews, and no other people, were specifically chosen to receive these commandments.

From the Paper
"The Decalogue is designed for only the Jews. These ten laws that they have to abide by are written to ultimately free the Jews from sin. God targeted the Jews because this would be able to prove his power; by taking a nation that had nothing, and turning them into something great. The whole world would know Gods glory. The Decalogue are divine laws, they come straight from God himself and let his will be known. The Decalogue was designed to control external actions, but cannot control the inner thoughts and desires of the Israelites."

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."

From the Paper
"Pastors have to work on Sundays, therefore many of them choose to honor the Sabbath with regards to stopping work on another day of the week. Laymen can follow that pattern and choose a different day of the week in which to honor the Sabbath by stopping all work.
The fifth commandment tells the world to honor our parents. This commandment applies to today as well. We can all do things that honor our parents. The world is more open today than it was in the past about abuse, alcohol problems and separated families. Even given these problems however, there are still ways to honor parents by not attacking them and that is in keeping with the commandments.
Do not murder is self explanatory. It is obviously something that fits with today's society for the most part, however there are problems when it comes to capital punishment. Do we have the right to murder if it is a convicted murderer? No. The commandment tells us not to murder therefore it is not up to us to carry out the death penalty. People today point to the bible verses about an eye for an eye, but there is nothing that condones the taking of one of God's children's lives."

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
The writer of this detailed paper debates the question whether the Ten Commandments should be visibly displayed in U.S. courthouses as well as the growing conflict between religious and political institutions regarding this matter. This paper also contains detailed information about recent court cases relating to this particular issue. The writer states and explains why posting the Ten Commandments in a courthouse does not establish religion but does violate the interpretation that church and state should be kept strictly separate.
Topics covered in this report include:
Part 1: Issue Selection
Part 2: Interest Groups
Part 3: Republican v. Democrat v. Libertarian
Part 4: Timeline
Part 5: Local Officials
Part 6: Argument/Speech
Bibliography

From the Paper
"Democrats of course come out on the opposite end of this issue. Most Democrats are of the opinion that when the Constitution laid out its restrictions on the interaction of government and religion, that included posting religious artifacts, symbols and statements on government property. The fact that the Ten Commandments are Christian in nature, and can be found in the courts, leads Liberals to the conclusion that it is a government act that promotes Christianity."

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.'
