Abstract
This paper examines the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment to the US Constitution, which discusses the right of an accused person to cross examine his accuser. The paper discusses the history of the Confrontation Clause and looks at the use of the Confrontation Clause in past and present court rooms. It also provides a few case examples of how the Confrontation Clause is put into practice.
From the Paper
"The use of the Confrontation Clause in past and present court rooms has served the court system well although when to use it and often times how and when it applies has proven to be a little blurry. The Confrontation Clause allows accused defendants to cross examine their accusers to gain as much insight as possible as to the factuality of their accusations except in situations where a child, person on their death bed, or a person who is deceased in concerned then testimony collect by law enforcement or stated in previous court cases is admitted in lieu of personal account. This clause will in effect prevent anyone from simply accusing us of a crime without the chance to defend ourselves in front of our accuser."

Abstract
This paper explains that victims of sexual abuse are typically in a very fragile state so that they must be treated with the utmost care. The paper further explains that this must be taken into consideration when using confrontation to deal with victims of sexual abuse. The paper looks at when and how confrontation should be used, and what can be gained by its use. The dangers inherent in using confrontation are also pointed out.
From the Paper
"Victims of sexual abuse may be in a very fragile state emotionally and so must be treated with the utmost care. Social workers have the responsibility of establishing and maintaining an appropriate therapeutic relationship with their clients and paying careful attention to the management of boundaries between the two. The social worker must recognize that the client may be influenced by their opinions, conjecture or suggestions and so must take care in expressing them. The social worker must not minimize the power and influence they have on..."

Abstract
The paper discusses how nuclear saber rattling between India and Pakistan, specifically over the continuing conflict in Kashmir, will continue to be a threat toward security for the region. The paper provides an examination of the historical and ideological roots of the conflict, and its contemporary nuclear manifestation, to indicate that resolution will not be easy. As such, the paper asserts that its effect on the business climate should be taken quite seriously.
From the Paper
"Some analysts believe that the threat of mutual destruction is enough to stave off full-scale war between nations. These critics (Parris, 2002) argue that the nuclear arsenals now possessed by India and Pakistan represent a strong incentive toward stabilization of the region. Unfortunately, while this thesis could be applied after the fact to US-Soviet relations during the Cold War, the situation on the Indian subcontinent is quite different. Nuclear saber rattling, specifically over the continuing conflict in Kashmir, will continue to be a threat toward..."

Abstract
This paper examines the historical and ideological roots of the conflict between India and Pakistan and its contemporary nuclear manifestation. It discusses how this nuclear saber rattling, specifically over the continuing conflict in Kashmir, will continue to be a threat toward security for the region and how there is no likely resolution in the near future. It also analyzes the implications for the business community.
From the Paper
"Both India and Pakistan tested nuclear devices in May 1998 (Ganguly, 2002). This was a critical turning point in the political relations between Indian and Pakistan. Further it represents one of the most significant contemporary issues facing India. That the nuclear conflict is constructed on an historical conflict of control of the Kashmir region is only the background of the issue. Kashmir is a territory essentially caught in the middle of nuclear "saber rattling" (Oberoi, 2001). The real problem facing political stability in the region at this point is the proliferation of nuclear arms in both India and Pakistan. "

Abstract
This paper looks at why and how specialised skills in interviewing have been developed in the treatment of offenders to prevent recidivism. It examines confrontational and motivational techniques in working with offenders and discusses how these techniques are employed and how they work. It also evaluates the benefits and hindrances of these techniques and assesses which technique is more beneficial to preventing offending behaviour.
From the Paper
"Research carried out in the 1970's argued that imprisonment and rehabilitative with offenders did not make a significant change to the recidivism rates of offenders and this led to more critical analysis which showed that some interventions could work. The "Criminal Justice Act 1991" put more impetus to this by reconstructing the sentencing framework and recommending community sentencing for offenders unless the offence was serious enough to justify a prison sentence. "Punitive measures have done little to arrest the increase in crime and it is difficult to demonstrate that punishment achieves the effect of deterring offenders from re-offending" (McGuire 1995 cited HTO Davies, S Nutley and P Smith 2001 p93) Research showed that offender treatment programmes could work to reduce rates of re-offending."

Abstract
This paper examines Hernand Cortes' confrontation in what is now called Mexico. It discusses the historical background to the confrontation and Cortes' aims and goals in the area. It looks specifically at the religious, political and economic goals related to the expedition to Mexico. The paper then looks at how the approach taken by the Spanish tried to be different than the one envisaged by the Portuguese in their expeditionary attempts.
From the Paper
"There are different things the Spanish tried to achieve by conquering what is now Mexico. There were religious aims, political ones, and also economic goals related to the expedition to Mexico. However, the approach taken by the Spanish tried to be different than the one envisaged by the Portuguese in their expeditionary attempts. Unlike the Portuguese, Spain's main goal was to establish an entity based precisely on their own beliefs and customs thus create a new society. The Portuguese on the other hand, limited their action to the mere exploitation of the territories they discovered."

Abstract
The paper examines through analysis what measures the U.S. can take in this situation to mitigate against this risk while simultaneously not making the tense situation significantly worse. The paper explains that the heart of the matter is what the U.S. should do about the possibility that this technology will be applied to the creation of nuclear weapons that Iran can use to position itself as a regional authority, or employ to threaten U.S. interests and allies in the region.
From the Paper
"With the Iraq War approaching its sixth anniversary, and the recent change in administration at the White House, there is increased speculation about what, if anything, the U.S. should do about the possibility of Iran developing nuclear technology. Of course, to a significant degree, Iran already has nuclear technology, including centrifuges for processing uranium and other necessary technical components. The heart of the matter is what the U.S. should do about the possibility that this technology will be applied to the creation of nuclear weapons that Iran can use to..."

Abstract
The following paper will look at how the American policy of containment actually allowed the tenuous international order established in 1945 to survive the upheavals and persistent threats which grew out of the early Cold War epoch. In substantiating this thesis, the next several pages will first look at the precipitating factors which made the containment strategy desirable. After this has been taken care of, time will be devoted to looking at the Truman Doctrine and at policies emanating from it which formed the core of US containment; the paper will, in almost the same breath, focus upon how US initiatives in the late 1940s bolstered international stability simply by reminding the Soviets that any expansionist enterprises on their part would be met by US resistance - including military resistance, if necessary. From here, the essay will delve into international events in the years from 1949 to 1953 and how America responded to these incidents. Again, the general policy of containment was at the forefront of US conceptual approaches to resolving geopolitical tensions - and the US willingness to use military force as part of its containment policy (and, to be more precise, just how much force it was prepared to use) was at the forefront of the conflagration over Korea. In the end, the USA did not always get things right when it came to stemming the Communist tide (Korea is certainly the greatest example of this from the period in question) but its policy of containment, however poorly executed it may have been at times, allowed the US to "wait out" the Communist threat without starting a Third World War that would have undoubtedly led to devastating nuclear exchanges between the two global superpowers.
