Abstract
This paper describes plea bargaining, and the pros and cons of using this process rather than sending a case to trial. According to the paper, generally the defendant pleads to a lesser charge or for lesser punishment in return for an admission of guilt and a waiver of the right to a trial. This process is helpful as it speeds up the legal system and gives an incentive for the accused to cooperate.

From the Paper
"Plea Bargaining is generally defined as a set of negotiations between the prosecution and the defense in a criminal case. A defendant generally pleads guilty to a lesser charge or to fewer charges and in turn receives a less severe sentence. This is also known as "copping a plea" (Hill & Hill). The prosecution benefits from a plea bargain because it does not have to prove its case in court. The defendant benefits as he/she gets a lighter sentence than if found guilty in court. The state benefits because it saves the costs, time and manpower needed for a trial. Many people favor..."

Abstract
In this paper, the pros and cons of reporting on the Islamic culture of the War on Iraq has been brought forth in the journalism of Ellen Knickmeyer and Dar Jamail. By understanding the negatives of so-called "embedded journalism" provided from the safety of the green zone in Iraq, Knickmeyer provides biased coverage without following through on reports from the Sunni or Shi'ite perspective. This type of Islamic identity for Muslims provides only a one-dimensional understanding of the religious conflicts and problems that provide an American taint on any articles written about the war.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the issues involved in genetic engineering, including the pros, cons and the use of eugenics. The author begins with a discussion of randomness and chaos in nature, and how we interpret these phenomenon. The implications of gene modification are also presented, including the benefits of germ-line gene therapy. The author continues by explaining eugenics, its positive aspects and its potential for abuse. In closing, the author argues that we must use wisdom when using genetic engineering.

From the Paper
"Some forms of genetic modifications can be beneficial. Germ-line gene therapy involves inserting genes and artificial chromosomes into the embryo (First GM, 2001). This is used to cure genetic and behavioural disorders such as schizophrenia. (Heaf, n.d.) It also can increase the intelligence or physical performance of the organism. (Holtzman, 2005) These genetically altered traits are passed down to the person's offspring, which includes irreversible mistakes (Heaf, n.d.). This is clearly eugenics because the offspring as specifically altered to display favored characteristics."

Abstract
This comparison essay examines the pros and cons of Social Security in the United States. Historic information regarding the original intention and need for Social Security is presented. The author then describes both the positive and negative elements of this program. The paper concludes by stating that Social Security has had a profound impact on the American welfare system and will hopefully continue to benefit future generations of Americans.

From the Paper
"Proponents of the Social Security system still say that even if the benefits run out in 2042, future generations can still receive 75%-80% of their benefits, which would still be more than people currently receive. The yearly projected shortfall of payroll taxes versus social security recipients is only a 1.89% difference. Also, the reason that there is a social security shortfall is because the social security taxes no longer takes a large portion of income as it did in 1982. Social security taxes accounted for 90% of income in 1982 whereas it only accounts for 85% today, which is why this shortfall exists (Sahadi, 2005). Technically, people are putting in less into the system and more for themselves, which they can use to support themselves for the remaining 25% difference in benefits they made receive. "
