Abstract
This paper examines the issue of aviation security following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Two communications in the form of press releases from the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) are examined and analyzed to show that aviation security after September 11, 2001 has significantly improved and changed, following the necessary policies that have been put in place. The paper identifies and outlines the changes that have been put in place and provides an objective analysis of the new policy changes after September 11, 2001, so as to use the content analysis to test the hypothesis surrounding aviation security. The paper includes a table showing examples of direct and indirect economic losses from September 11, and a pie chart using content analysis to identify trends regarding the weaknesses of aviation security.
From the Paper
"Aviation security relies heavily on the skill and expertise of personnel. The FAA and aviation industry have realized that there needs to be a reevaluation of airport personnel with specific focus on improving workers aptitudes, increased training, minimize turnover, and better wages GAO, 2006, 1). Dillingham stated that the FAA was implementing a number of actions and plans that addressed these issues directly; they included the development of an integrated action plan, certification programs which enhance training, and the use of machinery to help increase productivity. Most of these activities have post September 11 implementation dates. TSA training has also increased and changed form after September 11. Major elements of the change include forty (40) hours of classroom instruction and sixty (60) hours of on-the-job training, annual proficiency review of screeners, and establishing a basic screener training program, (Berrick, 2006, p 5). Again, these policy changes support the hypothesis being examined."

Abstract
This essay focuses on the problem of childhood obesity and is based on a systems analysis approach to the problem. The author first defines the key terms that are involved in the problem of childhood obesity, and then determines how the problem as a whole can be dealt with. The author concludes that child obesity is a significant problem in modern society fortified by mass media, but that there must be more active familial responsibility in order to correct childhood obesity.
From the Paper
"Although this is a systems analysis, the role of cause and effect cannot be overlooked. The problem of childhood obesity cannot be solved without looking at what might cause this problem. What are some of these causes? Many experts who study nutrition and diet have concluded that a big cause is today's culture. First, people want things quickly and done easily, as their time seems to be limited. As a result of this cause, parents give their children too much "fast food" and other types of prepackaged and prepared foods that are often highly unhealthy and filled with fats and cholesterol. The second cause is today's high-tech media, which gives many people, including children, a very "sedentary" or nonactive life style."

Abstract
The paper shows how this particular sample disproves each of the three hypotheses as follows: 1)International news coverage was 40% of the front page, meaning that domestic coverage was not inordinately stressed; 2)The only positive story on the front page was an international story; and 3)International coverage was focused on China and Israel, two countries well out of the 'comfort zone' of Mexico, Canada, and Western Europe, and where the U.S. military is not engaged in any conflicts.

From the Paper
"A constant goal of sociologists and other social-science researchers is to determine objective, or relatively objective, ways of measuring something that is inherently very far from "objective," namely human (individual or social) attitudes and actions. One such technique is content analysis, or the use of statistical methods to analyze the contents of documents--usually written documents of one sort or another, though transcripts of speech, television shows, and other nonpaper "documents" can also be subjected to content analysis. In the simplest instance, content analysis may be performed by counting and tabulating the occurrence of particular words in a document. If, for example, a given document has frequent references to "God," "Christ," and "salvation," as compared to other documents, we might reasonably infer that the document is somehow concerned with Christian..."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses the subject of advertising and the content of advertisements. The writer makes use of the analysis of the content of three advertisements in order to discuss the concept of the effective form of advertising.
From the Paper
"Advertising is most effective when it creates an emotional connection in the audience. This emotional connection promotes a conceptual fulfillment of the advertisement, suggesting that the advertisers only need to go part of the way in creating the advertisement and the emotional response will then enable the audience to fill in the perceived gaps between what the advertiser offers and what they wish to see in the advertisement. The most effective forms of advertising are thus those which play upon some form of emotional status."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrast the form and content of American writers Emily Dickinson and Walt Witman. In an analysis of their poetry it is noted that both poets are concerned with the concepts of death and spirituality in their poetry, however both approach their subjects from a different perspective. Dickinson used traditional forms, strict meter and rhyming schemes in her four stanza poetry whereas Whitman writes in free verse.
From the Paper
"Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson both use different forms and structure in their poetry to convey the meaning, symbolism and emotion in their work. This paper will compare and contrast how each of the two authors approaches their own concerns by the way they discuss their subject matter in their poetry and will discuss the different forms and structure that each of them uses to convey meaning in their work. Both Whitman and Dickinson are concerned with the concept of death in their work. In "I heard a fly Buzz when I died" Dickinson is concerned with the process of death. She uses the fly as an ongoing metaphor to..."

Bibliography
From the Paper
"Ebay is doing a very good job of positioning itself for the future. As mentioned, their online auction site is not so new anymore and they have other competitors out there, like Craigslist and the new Web site Etsy, which could take some of eBay's business away if they don't work carefully. Acquiring StumbleUpon is a good idea because it is venturing out of their arena. Craigslist, also out of the arena, but close enough to make Craigslist a direct competitor, is a good investment for ebay. If Craigslist ever does decide to sell, this would make it very easy for ebay to lay claim to the company."

It particularly focuses on English-as-a-second-language (ESL) study in Korea and how content-based instruction, blending language and culture can make teaching more effective. The paper also discusses the problems associated with not teaching foreign languages in this way.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Clearly, the second language classes, whose importance is being fuelled by globalization, need an instructional system that links language and content to accommodate the cognitive, social and linguistic demands of a responsive and relevant educational system. The content-based instruction concept in ESL study is especially critical in countries like Korea where the written alphabet is phonetically distant from English. By integrating real-life events and situations with language, ESL study becomes a living entity that stirs the interest of students. There is more enthusiasm in the learning process to make learning itself more efficient and productive. Language and content when combined in ESL study unarguably provide more incentive for learning. In sum, second language study will be less interesting, less enjoyable and fulfilling and the acquisition of language proficiency will be slower and more painful if it is limited to language instruction. In the process, education will also fail in its goal to broaden cross-cultural knowledge of students. ESL students will acquire such a well-balanced knowledge if teaching and learning are organized around content or information rather than around forms, functions and situations or skills."
