Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the movie 'Gladiator' that stars Russell Crowe and was directed by Ridley Scott. The writer notes that this is an epic fictional film based on historical events in the year 180 A.D and that it does not contain only the Hollywood entertainment value but also portrays social issues and concerns in the Roman society during the period. According to the writer, the film presents the rigid social class system as well as the social, political and economic problems of the Empire. In spite of there being several inaccuracies in the movie 'Gladiator', overall it presents a vivid picture of what it was like at the time. The writer concludes that whether in the fictionalized movie or the true events of history, Rome continued to fall into decay that ultimately led to its demise in A.D. 476, in a process that had been going on for centuries.
From the Paper
"The Roman society at the time depicted in the movie Gladiator was burdened with all sorts of social, political and economic problems. Generally though, corruption and social inequality were the major issues. When Commodus took over from his murdered father, he declared martial law throughout the Roman Empire. This was due to his fear of being toppled from power and he ruled the Empire with an iron fist. People could not even speak of dissent otherwise they will be put to slavery - or worst off to death. There was political stability because the truth of the matter was that the Emperor did not get along with the Senators. Further, Rome was actually on the brink of bankruptcy due to the decades of waging war in the foreign territories."

From the Paper
"Studies found that the survival rates of cardiac transplantation were race-dependent. Caucasians had better chances of survival than African-Americans. Physiological differences appeared to be a factor. African-Americans developed heart disease and other diseases at an early age and had longer hospitalizations than Caucasians with the same illness. This implied that outpatient resources were under-utilized and that limited patient education. African-Americans tended to seek treatment in big tertiary care centers and without health insurance."

The Concerns of Medical Marijuana
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Marijuana comes from the Indian hemp plant, Cannabis sativa. The leaves and flowers are typically dried and crushed, for use in pipes or rolled into cigarettes for smoking. It can also be added to foods and beverages, for consumption. The active ingredient in Marijuana is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is present in all parts of the marijuana plant and in both males and females. However, THC "is most concentrated in the resin (cannabin) in the flowering tops of the female" ("Marijuana"). The effects of marijuana on the user vary considerably."

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of industrial hygiene concerns and makes recommendations for the reduction of the risks associated with selenium in the workplace.
Outline
Statement of the Problem
Summary of Toxic Properties of Selenium
Summary of Industrial Hygiene Concerns
Recommendations to Management to Reduce the Risk to Workers
From the Paper
"Selenium is a chemical element in the oxygen family (Group VIa) of the periodic table; the element is closely allied in chemical and physical properties with the elements sulfur and tellurium (Selenium, 2004). Selenium was first recognized as an element in 1818 by Jacob Berzelius, a Swedish chemist. The element is a metalloid (this is an element that exhibits properties that are intermediate between the metals and the nonmetals); it is widely distributed throughout the world; however, such distribution only occurs in small quantities (Selenium, 2004). Prolonged exposure to certain metals such as cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, selenium compounds and zinc can cause deleterious health effects in humans (Reilly 1991). At low levels, selenium is considered a nutrient; however, it is being increasingly shown that at higher levels, the element and many of its compounds are toxic in humans (Dunning, 1993). Furthermore, Harris (1991) believes that numerous undiagnosed situations exist where people are suffering from selenium poisoning and physicians simply do not recognize it."

Abstract
This paper discusses the workings of fission reactor and focuses on the safety concerns connected with the production of nuclear power. The author looks at how most countries use nuclear energy for the development of military weapons though in some places it is also being used for peaceful purposes.
From the Paper
"Nuclear power plants are used in for the production of nuclear fission power, which is used later in the production of military weapons. For the production of power, fission reactor is used which contains fissionable elements which when bombarded with neutrons produce some other elements including barium, plutonium and uranium. All these are later used in the creation of military weapons and some other similar products. Though the governments of the world in possession of nuclear power come under attack often, it is nonetheless considered a symbol of power over other nations. A fission reactor is used to produce a chain reaction with the help of uranium and plutonium and special devices are used for the purpose of regulating the rate of fission."
