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."

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."

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
This paper examines the controversy surrounding the Ten Commandments in the U.S. courtrooms within the larger picture of religious freedom in the country in a post-911 era.

From the Paper
"When white settlers, slave-traders, and plantation-owners brought black African captives over to the United States, swapping them like livestock or store-bought goods, one of the consequences was the loss of the transplanted slaves' religion. Forced upon them were the religious beliefs of their masters and stolen from them were their traditional ways of faith. In more modern times, an era of post-9/11 fear and dismay, United States citizens are afraid of Muslim residents and immigrants, worried that they may trigger more terrorist attacks. Because of this fear, stricter regulations have been placed upon to whom they may donate their hard-earned money and fear has run rampant through their mosques, with threats of violence, arson, or vandalism fresh in their minds."

Abstract
This paper examines the American constitution's first amendment about the separation of religion and state and discusses this sensitive issue. The writer, however, takes the opinion that the statue of the ten commandments near the state buildings is not unconstitutional. Legal proceeding regarding this issue are discussed in the paper to strengthen the writer's opinion.

From the Paper
"In conclusion, with religion being a part of this nation's history and the State Capitol grounds being a national landmark, I think that this monument of the Ten Commandments is in no way unconstitutional. As the First Amendment, Lemon test, Alleghany v. ACLU, Stone v. Graham, and Books v. Elkhart have shown, the proceedings surrounding the placement of this monument and the monument itself are not unconstitutional. Thus for these reasons, I believe that the monument of the Ten Commandments located on the grounds of the Texas State Capitol does not violate the First Amendment and is not in violation of the separation of church and state."

"In the Biblical text Moses appeals to God and begs that he not destroy the Israelite people. He in fact argues with Goes and appeals to God's vanity, as it were. "Why should the Egyptians say, 'It was with evil intent that he brought them out, to kill them in the mountains and to wipe them off the face of the earth'? Turn from your fierce anger; relent and do not bring disaster on your people." (Exodus 32: 12) This would, in my reading of the film, certainly be an aspect that DeMille would not include in his version of the Biblical events as it would, at the very least, compromise the message of freedom from tyranny that the Ten Commandments is meant to portray and represent."

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."

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."
