Abstract This paper is a review of some recent and / or relevant academic research and literature regarding a possible statistical relationship between locus of control and gender. The paper presents the issue and then launches into an analysis of that literature, moving from studies with significant results to ones with mixed results to ones that found no statistically significant relationship between the two.
From the Paper "The purpose of this paper is to act as a literature review of contemporary academic research into the relationship that exists between locus of control and gender. It has long been assumed that locus of control is gender significant. Many researchers have held that any research into locus of control must take into account the differences between genders that might exist. In fact, those researchers ascertain that there is a difference between genders in this regard, with males more likely to possess the prized internal locus of control and women dependent on the seemingly less developed external style locus of control."
Abstract The paper explains what is meant by the term "nonprofit organizations" and explains the objective in exercises of this nature. The paper highlights the fact that motivation is derived from the unique mission and values that each organization upholds in the delivery of its work. The paper stresses the importance of the relationship of the non profit organization with private and corporate donors, in order to market and build brand awareness and public profile. The paper also discusses the strategy of gaining control over the environment and building a working relationship between organizations, in addition to cementing a relationship between the private and nonprofit sector.
From the Paper "While the nonprofit model may be the most grassroots and cooperative, nonprofit organizations are largely opting to build relationships with the private sector. The sector-wide conviction in competition undermines efforts to build coalitions between nonprofit organizations. This climate, drive by resource scarcity and profit-minded priorities, makes fostering nonprofit and nonprofit working relationships most difficult. In Metro-Toronto "the majority of organizations are anticipating a more competitive atmosphere in relation to garnering funds, now that the government has decreased its support" (Meinhard, p. 5.) Looking to market themselves to private and corporate donors, nonprofit organizations are embracing marketing to build brand awareness and public profile. It can be argued that current trends in management, job creation (funding for fundraisers), and resource availability facilitate a working relationship between the nonprofit sector and the private sector."

Abstract This paper discusses the relationship between King Lear and his daughters and how this relationship is turned around throughout the play giving each character a chance to play the child and the parent in the relationship.
From the Paper "Through the first act of King Lear, we see a traditional father-daughter relationship, one where if the daughters do what the father says, or behave, they will then get a reward. But in act 2 of the play, this relationship seems to be turned around, making King Lear the child, and Goneril/Regan as the parental figures."
Abstract This paper takes a look at the determination of how social control affects deviance is complicated by the variety of sociological theories on the question of deviance, and their diverse analyses of the interrelationship between society, social controls and deviance. Given this limitation, this essay critically examines how social controls affect deviance with respect to two interrelated areas: social controls on deviance in the family unit, and social controls on deviant sexual behavior. Within a structural-functional theoretical analysis, it argues that social order affects deviance in complex ways, and ultimately supports social order and can lead to social change.
Abstract In researching the subject of gun control and legislation to stop the incidence of violent crime, as well as accidental killings with a fire-arm, there exist opinions and statistics on both sides of the argument. The paper argues, however, that no matter how serious gun rights adherents are in their cries that citizens' rights are violated, gun control is necessary.

From the Paper "It is important to understand that the legislators of various states as well as the U.S. Congress are working on restricting the unauthorized use and sale and maintenance of arms, not to bar any from being sold and owned. When the NRA and its members (and they are not all rednecks and the types found in the movie Deliverance) refuse to understand is that restriction does not mean a total ban, only proper and legal means of keeping guns from the hands of those who cannot and will not use them properly. There is a vast moral gulf between killing a deer (however much some even consider that a sin) and mowing down clerks in a convenience store or guards at a bank or murdering a spouse."
Abstract In this article, the writer examines the gun control debate in the United States of America. The writer provides a review of the studies that relate to that debate. The history of gun control as an issue in American society is discussed in this paper. The writer argues that gun control policies should not be expanded and presents both sides of the control argument.
From the Paper "Gun control has been a prominent issue in American politics since Revolutionary War. The Founding Fathers gave American citizens the right to bear arms in the Second Amendment to the Constitution. The debate over the government's ability to regulate the sale and use of guns can be most simply stated as a fundamental conflict between the rights of the citizen versus the need of the government to assure public safety. Opponents of gun control believe that any infringement of an individual's right to bear arms is unconstitutional and ... "

Abstract This paper discusses one of the most contentious issues in contemporary American life, birth control.
This paper examines birth control in America and argues that birth control is something which should be readily available to all citizens just as long as certain protocols are followed. In so doing, however, this paper also points out the arguments of those who are unconvinced that wide spread birth control is desirable. In the end, this paper's central contention is that having a child is an enormously challenging development in the lives of young people (or old people, for that matter) and it should only be undertaken if the parents (or parent) possess the maturity, the desire and the resources necessary to do the job well.
Abstract The paper explains that issues of rent control and the often toxic debates that surround it have been a social and an economic concern for several decades. Typically, rent control efforts are made at the city or municipality level and are not enacted at the state or federal level. The paper discusses how rent control and the issues related to it are nothing more than a series of laws that are intended to control what city rents average, as well as regulate how much, percentage wise, they can be increased in any given year.
From the Paper "Traditionally, New York, New Jersey and California are most commonly associated with rent controls because of those states' rapid cost of housing increases that have priced many consumers out of the housing market and forced many individuals to become career renters."
Abstract This research paper examines and analyzes the economic costs and benefits of gun control in the United States. The positions of gun control advocates and the gun lobby are compared and conclusions reached accordingly.
Abstract This paper examines the argument espoused by gun control advocates that gun control and licensing measures in the United States represent a political solution to avert the loss of lives due to handguns and firearm use. The paper suggests that these gun control advocates have long utilized an alternate reading of the Constitution's Second Amendment to argue that the Constitution itself does not permit individual firearm ownership and that therefore the right to bear arms is a misguided interpretation of the Constitution.
Abstract This paper examines components of restrictive rent control legislation and its economic and social consequences in America. This examination focuses specifically on rent control applications in New York City and the urban cities of Santa Monica and Berkeley, California. Additionally, the paper discusses how government regulations violate two of the eight basic principles of economic thinking. These basic principles are: (1) incentives matter ? choice is influenced in a predictable way by changes in economic incentives and (2) economic actions often generate secondary effects in addition to their immediate effects.
From the Paper "Rent control is one of the most controversial social welfare programs in existence. In 1943 and after World War II, the federal government enacted rent controls as a "temporary" attempt to combat housing shortages in intensive populated or urban areas and to protect residents from high housing prices. Opponents argue that rent control result in decreased levels of construction, decreased levels of maintenance on existing properties, and abnormal housing vacancies, and is therefore economically ineffective. Some opponents even feel that rent control causes homelessness. Advocates of rent control and rent stabilization see it as a way to ensure the availability of affordable rental housing for low and middle-income urban dwellers. Rent control advocates contend ? there was already a housing shortage and that rent-control laws were enacted to keep landlords from taking advantage of the situation by "gouging" tenants? (Sowell, 1999). Many rent control proponents feel that the abolishment of rent controls would result in increased homelessness. "

From the Paper "Gun Control has been a center issue in American Politics for quite some time. Advocates of Gun Control often state the hazards of owning guns and their constant use in criminal activity. The ultimate solution for these people is to completely eliminate the right of an individual to own a gun. On the other hand, the Anti-Gun Control advocates state that people are responsible for their own actions and that the existence of the gun is not what causes crime, or accidental death. So despite the good intentions of Gun Control advocates, their means in attaining what they want are entirely misguided and misinformed."
Abstract A paper which examines and discusses all factors relating to gun control in America. The writer focuses on the issue of gun control as it pertains to the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan.
From the Paper "The theory behind gun control is an honest one. Advocates of gun control believe that if the nation takes the guns away then crimes of violence will stop. This would be true of crimes of violence were only being committed against law abiding citizens(McCaffery, 2001). As the gun control laws begin to be implanted in carious states there are other states that are taking the opposite approach to the trouble. They believe that to arm their residents is to send a message to those who are potentially violent that it would not be a good idea in that state."
