Abstract
This paper discusses and concludes that there will never be a cure to poverty. The author instead recommends that society starts learning more about it and realizes why it is that poverty has been hanging around for centuries. The author feels that if society has substantial knowledge of poverty problems, maybe then we can start working on a cure, even if it is not a permanent cure.

From the Paper
"Marriage is a constitutionally protected choice. The Supreme Court asserts that an individuals right to privacy regarding decisions to marry and reproduce as "one of the basic civil rights of man, fundamental to our very existence and survival." Marriage promotion mandates supported by Wade Horn and others essentially coerce economically vulnerable individuals to trade in their fundamental right to privacy regarding marital decisions in exchange for receiving job and life skills training. Government programs should not have the power to invade parents' most fundamentally private decisions regarding marriage as a condition for receiving federal funds. The United States of America is a country, which prides itself on freedom. The freedoms of this country's citizens are being compromised within our own government in the form of public policy. Poverty is a known factor in domestic violence situations; required marriage will only worsen the current growing trend in battering. Marriage is a civil right. It is not a cure for poverty."

Abstract
In this article, the writer summarizes chapters 4 and 5 in "Working Cures: Healing, Health, and Power on Southern Slave Plantations". The writer discusses the issue of health and healing among enslaved families.

From the Paper
"Chapter 4 opens "a valuable window onto the relational vision of health among enslaved families". The author shows how the use of conjuration, ("hoodoo", "rootwork") was a primary art in African American doctoring. In stark contrast to the ideology and methods of "white professional medicine", conjuring was "a practice of healing, harming, and protection performed through the ritual harnessing of spiritual forces". White doctors' cures were directed to ..."

Abstract
In his interview with Gayle Anderson-Dargatz, Nathaniel G. Moore writes that Anderson-Dargatz's writing has been compared to the writing of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. This refers to one of the most remarkable aspects of the book The Cure for Death by Lightning: the fact that it uses a lot of magical realism. This was one of the most striking aspects of the book for me, so it is not surprising to me that Moore compares Anderson-Dargatz to Marquez. At the same time, Anderson-Dargatz's novel also has much realism, which seems to be based on her personal experience.

Abstract
The paper discusses transitionally practical ways to help cure the world of global warming. The paper asserts that the use of hybrid vehicles that run on electrical engines (in tandem with fossil fuels) is a good transition to help stave off carbon dioxide emissions, and the use of a reasonable government policy to help fund industry to change their poor emissions records must be taken seriously.

Abstract
The paper contends that Alzheimer's disease is quickly becoming a national health and social crisis by virtue of the increasing age of the population. The paper focuses on embryonic stem cell research that is the most likely avenue of research into an effective cure, but relates that political opposition has limited scientists in this avenue. The paper argues for common sense to prevail and help millions of patients and their families.

Thesis Statement
Alzheimer's - A Twenty-First Century American Health and Social Crisis
Controversy Over a Likely Approach to Effective Treatment
Conclusion

From the Paper
"Alzheimer's disease is one form of age-related dementia, previously more often referred to collectively as senile dementia. It is characterized by gradually increasing mental deterioration and corresponding loss of memory, cognition, judgment, and of the ability to communicate. The disease is named for the German physician who first discovered it in 1906 by identifying abnormal amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain tissues. Today, modern imaging technology is used to diagnose these characteristic brain changes that are associated with Alzheimer's (NIA 2006)."

Abstract
This study analyzes the definitive cures for stopping the current global climate change that has been worsening in recent years. By discussing how human beings can reduce carbon dioxide emitting energy sources, one can realize how the climate can be saved by a new environmental consciousness.

From the Paper
"One major factor in the cause of global warming in the current global climate is how is how human beings interact with their environment. The emission of carbon dioxide from automobiles around the globe has been a major factor in why the world is becoming a warmer place. With the world's temperature rising faster than it has for over 50,000 years, there is a definite scientific consensus that human machines are a serious problem for curing the world's climate issues (Maslin 56). Since carbon dioxide emitted from vehicles acts as an agent that opens holes in the ozone, there is a growing problem with how the extremely warm ultra violet rays from the sun will escape. Carbon dioxide basically opens the holes for the sun's rays, but they also trap the heat on the earth's surface. One solution would be to use electric cars or hybrid vehicles to help reduce the amount of gas being used, which also reduces the amount of carbon dioxide they emit. Houghton (2004) defines this as an important step in slowing down the emissions growth rates in current times:"

Abstract
This three-page undergraduate research paper examines the relationship of the adolescent and adult selves of the protagonist in the short story, "An Ounce of Cure" by Alice Munro.

Abstract
In this article, the writer studies and contrasts T. Coraghessan Boyle's "Greasy Lake" and Alice Munro's "An Ounce of Cure". The writer focuses on tone, setting, theme, narration, and characterization. Further, the writer discusses the theme of moral erosion in modern society.

From the Paper
"In T. Coraghessan Boyle's 'Greasy Lake' we are treated to the madness and mayhem of a group of deviant teenagers who are all described by the author as dangerous characters. Indeed the narrator and his two friends Digby and Jeff will involve themselves in a beating rape and murder. In Alice Munro's 'An Ounce of Cure', we are provided with the story of a teenage girl's coming of age that shows how a young girl is often shaped more ... "

Abstract
This paper discusses a program of meditation introduced in Indian prisons, Vipassana, that enables inmates to overcome addiction and problems of mental health while gaining a new orientation of themselves and their situations. The paper examines the Vipassana experiment in New Delhi's Tihar Jail and discusses the benefits of implementing this program into Canadian prisons.

Outline:
Introduction
Addictions and Canadian Offenders
Recognizing Addiction in India
What is Vipassana?
Closing Gaps in Practice and Planning
Concluding Discussion

From the Paper
"Terry explained that Canadian recidivism often revolves around an offender's ability to cope with addiction, the ex-offender a person having overcome addiction, and the repeat offender a person not having achieved this. (2002) Canadian officials and institutions need to look further afield for programming, bearing in mind how Third World settings are keenly hampered by fiscal concerns. In short, a program affordable and effective in India is apt to prove effective given the extra supports available in the West. Moreover, what has been offered to Canadian federal offenders has not always served addicted offenders well -- the addict is frequently the 'repeat offender' with whom Federal prisons often deal."

Abstract
The paper explores the suggestion raised in the book about a possible relationship between psychotherapy and neurobiology. It delves into Vaughan's methods of psychotherapy and looks at her lack of scientific evidence in her proposals.

From the Paper
"In her book, The Talking Cure: The Science Behind Psychotherapy, Susan C. Vaughan MD. employs the knowledge and experience that she has gained in the fields of science and psychoanalysis, and combines them to propose an informative and innovative theory on the possible existence of a relationship between psychotherapy and neurobiology. Vaughan has earned her credentials and expertise as a research fellow of the National Institute of Mental Health and a senior candidate at the Columbia Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research in New York City, allied to her continued studies into long-term psychotherapy and psychoanalysis at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. In addition to The Talking Cure, Vaughan has published two other books, Half Empty, Half Full, Understanding the Psychological Roots of Optimism (2001) and Viagra: A Guide to the Phenomenal Potency-Promoting Drug (1998), and her articles have appeared in publications such as, the International Journal of Psychoanalysis, The American Journal of Psychiatry, and The New Yorker."
