Abstract
This paper discusses two cases where individuals were convicted of murder and debates the ethical reasoning behind being a pro or con on the issue of capital punishment. The paper suggests ways in which deontological philosophy can be interpreted in some instances being for capital punishment and also times when it would be against. Thesis statement and conclusion argue that no ethical or moral thinker would applaud capital punishment, therefore nor would deontology.

From the Paper
"Capital punishment can be defined as the legal action declared within a court of law that sentences a person to death. The morality behind such a decision, to essentially take another human's life, has long been a topic of considerable debate. As the deontological perspective is understood to mirror the Golden Rule, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you," an argument could effectively be made for either the pro or con side of capital punishment. On one hand, if the murdering perpetrator followed the Golden Rule, the defendant should have no problem if the state did unto him what he or she had done unto their victims. In direct contrast..."

Abstract
Pro: The embargo has not undermined the regime. It is denying opportunities to US business. It could be a key 'olive branch' in assembling a world anti-terrorism coalition. Con: Cuba continues to deny civil rights and democracy to its people. The US has a moral obligation to Cuban refugees.

Abstract
The paper examines the subject of school choice. After quantifying what school choice is, the paper discusses whether this should be accepted by the legislature, by schools and by parents and whether it is the best decision for children. The paper further analyses how it affects the way children learn. A further question of whether school choice will result in needy children or children from minorities being segregated, as this could mean they attend schools with little funding and few opportunities, is addressed.

From the Paper
"Choice is everywhere in American education" (School Choice Facts). When a person stops to think about school choice, he or she will realize that school choice is quite common to every parent. Parents decide where they want their children to go to school and move into the residential areas where those schools are located (School Choice Facts). Sometimes this means paying high costs of rent, but it is worth it to the parents. Some parents make the decision whether to send their children to private school. This means that parents decide the cost of the private school is worth paying fees, books, and other costs. Some parents decide to home school and mothers often decide not to work so they can teach their children at home. All of these involve school choice. School choice is not new. Different countries have tried programs similar to what the U.S. calls school choice."

Abstract
This paper examines the educational debate surrounding inclusion in the classroom. Arguments on both sides of this controversial issue are presented. The paper further discusses attitudes of teachers, factors and barriers leading to successful inclusion. The paper concludes by exploring how to promote a positive inclusion attitude and outcome.

From the Paper
"This research paper presents the topic of inclusion. The law mandates that all children receive an adequate education yet studies show that the debate about inclusion persists. Pro-inclusionists argue that special education is unequal, more expensive and detrimental to all children. Non-inclusionists argue that disabled students need extra attention which may disrupt regular classrooms. In addition, it is argued that inclusion has resulted in increased segregation of minority students. The argument that the disabled student receives more social adjustment in the regular classroom sways some toward inclusion."

Abstract
This paper is a study of children's behaviour in kindergarten. It includes situations they face, a detailed analysis of their behavior and a plan of how to deal with their behavior, all written by whom they were observed. This paper describes the observations that the author made as well as his conclusions regarding the children's behaviour.

From the Paper
"Observed Behavior: It is playtime, and two of the girls are at the art center having a conversation, during which they both decide that they want to do the same thing with the materials. Abby decides that if they share the piece they will both be happier. Heaven does not think that this is a good idea, for she had the piece of material first, so she argues with Abby telling her that whoever had it first gets the siding (the piece of material). Then as they are fighting, and I think that intervention will be needed, Abby decides to explain the concept of sharing to Heaven and then asks her if she understands. Heaven slowly but surely, nods her head ?yes.? They cut the piece, the person who did not actually cut, got to choose which piece of the siding she wanted in order to make it fair. Then afterwards when I came back, both girls were playing happily."

Methods in Bilingual Education
Problems and Failures in Bilingual Education
Conclusions

From the Paper
"There is significant need for effective methods in the teaching of America's growing number of English learners, students who must learn English as a second language. Estimates cite 4.6 million English learners in American public schools in 2000-2001 (Rodriguez, & Higgins 2005). Immense effort and research has addressed this problem, yet many students still struggle. The current status of English learner debate centers on the positive and negative aspects of bilingual programs versus programs that do not use a student's native language in instruction. To be considered a bilingual program, a method must incorporate both the English language and native language of the student into the school instruction. Bilingual programs come in many forms, with varying levels of native language use and English use. Depending on implementation methods and structure, bilingual programs also have varying levels of success."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the Nursing Staffing Standards for Patient Safety and Quality Care Act of 2005 bill should not be supported for two reasons. The paper lists these reasons as: it does not directly address the nursing work force shortage as it ought and it does not address the deeper issue of personal satisfaction with nursing as a career. Although the latter may not be as easily addressed the former is. As the paper points out in the section regarding preventable causes of injury or death were and still are attributable to the direct care nursing work force shortage.

From the Paper
"H.R. 1222, also known as The Nursing Staffing Standards for Patient Safety and Quality Care Act of 2005, was primarily enacted "to amend the Public Health Service Act to establish direct care registered nurse-to-patient staffing ratio requirements in hospitals (U.S. Congress, 2005, preamble)." The bill was enacted by both the Senate and House of Representatives on March 10, 2005 and primarily sponsored by Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL). The primary thrust of the bill was to limit the nurse to patient ratio in different units."

From the Paper
"Death Penalty, also referred to as capital punishment, is the lawful execution of a prisoner as a punishment for serious crime, often called capital offense. Being one of the controversial topics in the United States and all over the world, I decided to have my interests focused on doing a research about this topic. "
"As you read along, you might encounter topics that you will find critical. Bear in mind that I am doing this research not to influence your thoughts on this sensitive issue. Each one is still entitled to his opinion in the end. What I would like is to help my readers broaden their knowledge on death penalty by understanding its history and developments. And explore further by presenting the pros and cons behind it, available alternatives, different points of views of the different sectors in the society and the common issues tackled."
