Abstract
This paper focuses on the operation and utility of three world criminal tribunals. The paper explains that a combination of political and criminal activities in the international arena, and the inability or unwillingness of local governments to handle these at the time, have inspired the creation of entities such as the International Criminal Tribunal of Yugoslavia (ICTY), the International Criminal Tribunal of Rwanda (ICTR), and the International Criminal Court (ICC). The paper asserts that, while the principle behind the ICTY and ICTR is valid and even noble under the right circumstances, the effectiveness of the completion strategy has been under increasing debate. The paper adds that critics have gone as far as stating that the strategy is not only flawed, but risks undermining the very purpose and legacy of these institutions. The paper opines that, as many states still languish under non-democratic and tyrannical systems of government, it is therefore vital that the power of these be held in check by the global justice system. The paper concludes that the completion strategy can be successful; however, certain conditions need to be in place, two of which the most important include obtaining the necessary funding and establishing a permanent global justice system.

From the Paper
"In terms of its specific functions, the ICTY focuses its prosecuting attentions on the senior leaders suspected of involvement in crimes. Cases against leaders at lower levels are transferred to national jurisdictions that have proved themselves competent in handling such cases. The domestic criminal procedure is also no longer entirely overseen by the Tribunal, and courts are allowed to initiate cases where this appears to be necessary, and without the involvement of the ICTY. Indeed, one of the purposes of the completion strategy is the strengthening of the local justice system, and this appears to be well underway, with war crimes prosecutions being conducted on the local level in Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia (UN ICTY, 2008). In order to ensure the success of such implementations, the ICTY functions in a counseling capacity for lawyers and relevant professionals at the local level. This is done via training programs and other such strategies. Furthermore, electronic databases and archives are made available to national institutions in order to ensure the smooth transition to the domestic environment. In this light, it can be said that the ICTY completion strategy has been a relative success. As indicated, not all critics agree with such an assessment."

Abstract
This ten-page senior level paper is on the book 'One Palestine, Complete' by Tom Segev who is a columnist for Ha'aretz, Israel's leading newspaper, and author of two now-classic works on the history of Israel, 1949: The First Israelis and The Seventh Million: The Israelis and the Holocaust. One Palestine Complete: Jews and Arabs under the British Mandate, is a panoramic view of life in Palestine during the three strife-torn but decades when Britain ruled and the seeds of today's conflicts were sown.

Abstract
This paper presents a report on the CD recording, "Complete Lute Works, Vol. 1". The paper describes the performer of the lute on the recording, how the tracks on the CD are setup, the degree of authenticity of the music and what the writer has learned from listening to the CD.

From the Paper
"Because my previous exposure to early music before this class was non-existent and that the only early music I have heard in class is mostly chant, this recording is very refreshing and brings a new perspective on early music to me. By using the lute, this recording deepened my understanding of early music by integrating a group of familiar instruments into a genre that I was relatively unfamiliar with. Through the instrumentation and performance of the lute, I now understand that chant was not the only genre of early music."

Abstract
This paper is very in-depth and complex as it delves into Greek and Classical philosophy and the Christian religion with its Jewish roots. The paper discusses differences and similarities between different classical philosophies and Christian thought and how each has influenced the other. The paper first defines Christianity as a philosophy and explains why it can be considered as such; it sets up a basis for comparison. Then the paper discusses the similarities between Christianity and "pagan" philosophies. When that subject is exhausted, it moves on to contrast the two. After the general classic philosophies, the paper compares and contrasts the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle, specifically, to Christianity. Finally, the paper "presents an argument for Christianity as a complete philosophy in the manner in which it can satisfy discrepancies in other philosophies while defending some of its own." The paper looks at problems with Greek philosophies and how Christianity solved them or presented an alternative.

From the Paper
"Men of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Now what you worship as something unknown, I am going to proclaim to you" (Acts 17:22-23, NIV). These words, spoken by Paul, mark the introduction of Christianity in Athens, Greece, a center of philosophy in the ancient world. Paul goes on to explain the heart of the religion to a group of Epicureans and Stoics in the marketplace. Some of the men "sneer" at him, but others ask him to speak of these "strange ideas" more so that they can understand. Acts 17:34 goes on to tell of several Greeks who become Christians as a result of Paul's message. The acceptance of Christianity as a new and interesting idea by some of the Athenian philosophers implies several things: first, that Christianity was itself viewed as a philosophy; second, that Christianity must have had something in common with the major philosophies of the day; and finally, that Christianity must have offered to some what the other philosophies of the day did not. Making these statements at this point in my paper may seem presumptuous; however, I am prepared to discuss my conclusions, first by showing that Christianity is a philosophy in the true sense of the word, then by comparing it to other philosophies, and finally, by showing how it "fills in the gaps" of other Greek philosophies."

Abstract
The statement of the problem can be best summarized as follows: adolescents that attend treatment do so either by court appointment or voluntarily and whether they complete their treatment or drop out of the program may be related to whether they agree to attend the treatment or are forced to attend it. In light of this problem statement, there are three hypotheses presented in this study. The paper attempts to validate or invalidate them at the completion of the current study so that a deeper understanding of the issue can be obtained. The three hypotheses that are looked at are:
* Hypothesis One: Adolescents that enter treatment voluntarily are more committed to living clean and sober lives than those that are forced through the courts to attend treatment.
* Hypothesis Two: Adolescents that enter treatment voluntarily have lower drop out rates and higher completion rates for their treatment programs than those that enter court appointed treatment.
* Hypothesis Three: Adolescents that enter voluntary treatment have a lower relapse rate than those that attend court appointed treatment programs and they remain clean and sober for longer periods of time if they do relapse.
There are other issues that could be studied and hypothesized about when it comes to adolescents and their treatment for drugs and alcohol, but the three listed above are the ones that are the most significant. Validating or invalidating the three hypotheses presented here will provide many researchers and others that study and struggle with this issue more insight into the ways that they might want to work on the issue in the future. If adolescents really perform better when they enter treatment voluntarily, finding ways to show them the seriousness of their problems and getting them to want treatment may become a key issue in the future, as opposed to simply forcing them into a court appointed treatment program that they will suffer through and then return to their old lifestyle.

From the Paper
"Addiction is something that has been around for many years, and there have been increasingly new ways of treating it that have been created over the course of much research and study. There are many different forms that addiction takes, and there are many different drugs and substances that someone can become addicted to, even if they are not of the age that most people would think of when they picture people that would start down that particular road. Most individuals think of addicts as primarily young, minority men in their 20s and 30s that rob, steal, and cause other problems in order to get their drugs or alcohol. However, there are also many women that are addicted to various substances, and although race is a factor when looking at addiction numbers, there are plenty of people of all races and ethnic backgrounds that struggle with addiction and many of the problems that it can cause."

Abstract
The purpose of the RFP provided was to generate a proposal from a contractor in the community that would provide a training program that would result in at least 60% of the participants being employed upon completion of that program ("Request", n.d., sec. 1). The funds were already budgeted in the city and county, but no specific program had been previously implemented. Therefore, the proposal specified all costs connected to the program and how they should be used. The problem that the RFP was intending to address was the need for a job training program in a variety of professional fields within the city and county.

Abstract
This paper reviews and positively critiques Agatha Christie's "Miss Marple", focusing on the character of Miss Marple. The paper demonstrates how, despite being a quiet octogenarian who loves knitting, Miss Marple has the mind of a natural sleuth. After citing several examples from the stories to demonstrate this thesis, the paper concludes that the mysteries are fun, quaint and picturesque, which also inspire a love of the heroine and prove to the reader that crime need not be bloody to be interesting.

From the Paper
"This is important because most of the twenty mysteries in The Complete Short Stories revolve around very ordinary settings. The first short stories began at the Tuesday Club, a social club formed by Miss Marple and her fellow old ladies her a small, English country town. The club was originally founded purely for the pleasures of social gatherings-but soon this club's purpose becomes a place of discussion of a variety of mysteries that prey upon the minds and the members of the club."

Abstract
The concept of a task to be completed as portrayed in literature is addressed through an examination of two of Camus's works, "The Guest" and "The Myth of Sisyphus".

From the Paper
"The concept of a task to be completed in literature is one that is revered highly. Hercules, for instance, is immortalized by virtue of his labors: he is presented with challenge after challenge, and though he struggles at first, somehow he prevails despite weaknesses, betrayals and even the gods' wrath. In Abraham Cahan's "The Rise of David Levinsky," the protagonist rises from poverty and discrimination to running his own successful business by the end of the novel. Camus, however, takes a different tilt on tasks. His view is that tasks and challenges endure and victory comes in how one deals with the daily repetition and lack of respite: the mettle of his characters is measured in their ability to deal successfully with tasks that persist despite all efforts to escape them."
