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."

Conclusion
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 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 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.

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 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 paper, using as a guide Bob Woodward's book "The Commander?s", analyzes the actions of the President, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and several federal agencies responsible for managing National Security during the escalation towards hostilities in Panama and Southwest Asia. It includes an analysis of how effective the decision-makers were during the planning, execution and oversight periods of these operations and discusses whether they communicated visions, involved all available experts for consultation and whether they offered several options to aid in their critical decision making.
From the Paper "Before any public statement or initiative by the President, General Colin Powell asked General Norman Schwarzkopf, the Commander of Central Command, to draft a two-tiered plan for possible U.S. responses to any Iraqi move against Kuwait. The first tier was what U.S Forces could do to immediately retaliate against Iraq; the second was what the United States might do defensively to stop any further Iraqi movement. Simultaneously, coordination at the JCS-CINC level had already began while CENTCOM initiated the formal Crisis Planning process. As the diplomatic chess game ensued, the practical aspects of what was needed began to surface presenting the leadership with several challenges and decisions to make. For example, General Schwarzkopf said it would take 17 weeks to get the full deterrence piece of Plan 90-1002- totaling some 200,000 to 250,000 Army, Navy, Airforce, and Marines-into the region."
Abstract This paper discusses the Fifth Commandment of the Bible, "Thou Shall Not Murder" and examines how, today, it does not just apply to one person murdering another, it also encompasses all topics from abortion to euthanasia, from capital punishment to war crimes. It analyzes some of the controversies such as intentional homicide being illegal in our society while abortion is legal and even publicly funded. It also looks at the challenges the Catholic Church faces today is trying to keep the morality in a secular society.
From the Paper "Suicide is another violation of the Fifth Commandment; a person who takes his or her own life is still committing murder. Suicide is also contrary to love for the living God; suicide is contrary to the just love of oneself. ?The action of suicide simultaneously offends the love of one's neighbour because it unjustly breaks the ties of solidarity with family, nation, and other human societies to which we have obligations.?5 Because God has created us in His likeness, by committing suicide we are concurrently blaspheming the living God. Up until recent centuries, those who had committed suicide could not be buried on consecrated ground."
Abstract This paper discusses a command economy and a market economy. The author uses Cuba and the United States as examples . The paper compares them on several dimensions involving productivity and GDP.
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."
Abstract This paper explores how O'Brian's novel exposes his successful writing technique. It discusses, through example from the text, the novel's historically successful representation of naval adventures, its accurate and authentic language and its realistic characters. This paper explains how O'Brian constructs "Master and Commander" into a successful novel using these methods.
From the Paper "Master and Commander is also a successful novel because O'Brian takes the time to create realistic characters. At the beginning of the novel, we are presented with an image of Aubrey that prepares him (and us) for his adventure. We read that he knows men that are younger than him that were "lieutenants in command of brigs or cutters, or who had been promoted to master and commander" (9-10). His initial disappointment over the Sophie is quickly replaced by the connection he makes with Maturin and the others. Aubrey is in every sense what we would expect when we envision a British seaman. O'Brian also does an excellent job of describing Aubrey as he faces court-martial near the end of the novel."
Abstract Patrick O'Brian's novel "Master and Commander", brings life at sea to life by focusing on strong characterization and themes that accentuate these characters. The paper explains how O'Brian introduces us to Jack and Stephen, two main characters that are strong, complimentary, and different enough from one another to provide a different take on life at sea. The paper shows that, in addition, O'Brian employs the theme of man versus man and man versus nature to build the plot and enhance the action of the novel. These elements operate together to create a novel that provides us a realistic sense of what life at sea was like during the nineteenth century.
From the Paper "Another theme O'Brian uses is man versus nature. Because they are at sea, they are at the mercy of the elements. The crew endures the elements of the weather as they sail. For example, in one scene, the ship encounters a storm with intense rainfall as the "seas mounted higher and higher: they were not the height of the great Atlantic rollers, but they were steeper, and in a way more wicked; their heads tore off streaming in front of them so as to race through the Sophie's tops" (153). Here we see how the men at sea had to be courageous not only with other men but they also had to be strong when it came to withstanding the harsh elements of nature, over which they had no control."
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss and analyze the book "The Commanders" by Bob Woodward. Specifically, it argues the Bush administration was effective in identifying political objectives and applying military resources to accomplish those objectives. It looks at how chapters 7-15 of Bob Woodward's book include discussions of the 1989 Panama invasion, civilian manipulation of the military and how the administration engineered and pulled off a military invasion during peacetime. It concludes that if the experience in Panama is any indication, then the George H.W. Bush administration was extremely adroit at identifying political objectives and applying military resources to accomplish those objectives.
From the Paper "Woodward's chronicle of the Bush administration and their international policy shows that using the military for political objectives is a common occurrence in modern day government. The lack of concern over military officers and their lack of political interest was clear throughout the book, and was well known throughout political circles. Woodward notes, "Most chilling to Crowe was the indifference that the Secretary of Defense [Cheney] seemed to have about the career of a four-star officer." He continues, "If the only way a commander could survive was to anticipate the political winds blowing in Washington and try to get out ahead of formal policy change, the military could be hopelessly contaminated.""
