The paper offers reasons for supporting juvenile curfew laws. The paper explains the two purposes of these laws and presents arguments for and against them. The paper concludes that the curfew laws are important because of the message they send.

From the Paper
"An Argument in Favor of Juvenile Curfew Laws. Juvenile curfew laws laws that establish a time of day or night when juveniles are forbidden to be on the streets unaccompanied by an adult and subject to arrest if found by authorities, are designed for two purposes. First, as Lee F O'Brien noted, these laws are meant to reduce the possibility that juveniles will commit crimes or victimize others, secondly, these laws are meant to protect juveniles from victimization."

Abstract
The paper discusses how people in our society spend at least ten years at school, and some people spend 17 or more years at school. This means that it is very important that they spend their time acquiring knowledge of worth, otherwise so much of their life will have been wasted. However, the paper notes that it is not easy to be sure what knowledge is of most worth; many philosophers of education have debated this point. In this essay the writer discusses some of the most important contributions. It is seen that it is extremely difficult to be completely certain and specific what knowledge is of most worth; moreover, the answer to this question will vary depending of time and place.

Abstract
The paper discusses the issue of curfew, its practice around the U.S. and whether New York City should implement a youth curfew. The paper's final analysis endorses the idea of a curfew as one step in preventing an increase in juvenile crime.

From the Paper
"Curfew Laws for New York City: Argument in Favor of a Curfew Law in New York City. Curfew laws are regulations which specify the hours that certain age groups must remain off public sidewalks and streets or in other public spaces. Most, but not all American cities, have some type of curfew laws in place. Such laws are generally intended to keep juveniles off the streets during certain hours, generally late evening and early morning, for their own protection and to prevent or retard juvenile crime."

Abstract
The paper discusses the teenage driving curfew laws in Virginia that were enacted to help save lives and keep teens off the road at the most dangerous times for drunk driving. The paper believes the curfew is a good idea because it helps save lives and makes people more aware about driving under the influence, along with making parents more aware of their children's activities. The paper brings evidence that supports this assertion and contends that the laws should be expanded to combat the still prevalent number of auto accidents that account for teen deaths in Virginia.

From the Paper
"Studies indicate that teenage driving curfews, such as the one in Virginia, help save lives. A national Web site geared to teen driving notes, "Each year, motor vehicle crashes claim almost 42,000 lives, cause millions of injuries, and cost more than $150 billion in damages. Motor vehicle crashes are not accidents. They are the result of bad decisions and risky behaviors" ("Virginia Licensing Laws"). These laws may seem domineering and controlling, but studies have shown that teen driving curfews do work, and that they can reduce teen deaths after they are implemented. Virginia, along with a few other states, have some of the toughest teen driving laws in the country, and a study by the Insurance Institute shows that "fatal accidents among 15- to 17-year-old drivers dropped 19 percent between 1992 and 2002" (Mussenden) in these states."

Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of comparative worth between males and females in the workplace. It suggests that comparative worth is a good starting point for understanding how to create gender equality in the work place. The writer of the paper presents his opinion that there are many different factors that go into the wage decision calculus and that relying upon comparative worth alone is flawed. The paper discusses these assertions.

From the Paper
"In the final analysis, comparative worth is an idealistic strategy to gender equality in application to wages within the workplace. However, the actual implementation of such a system requires not only a strong criteria for judging comparative worth, but also a complete shift within the organizational and financial planning of a company. As a result, it is extremely difficult to implement on a widespread basis. Creating a clear standard by which to understand and frame comparative worth is the first essential step for HR managers to attempt to implement such a policy on a large organization wide level."

Abstract
This paper explains that the basis of Gugliemo's article 'Is Offshore Outsourcing Worth the Loss of Its Jobs?' reflects the growing economic disparity that is occurring at the domestic level in the United States and in Canada. The author points out that her research indicates the growing exponential rate of American and Canadian jobs that are being exported over to third world countries have greatly lowered wage rates, threatening the middle class in North America. The paper relates that another factor is the policy making-leverage that America wields over most third world countries supplying technology job markets in the global market. The author underscores that, since many of these jobs are being provided to economically impoverished countries, there is a marked disadvantage not only to the workers being exploited in these countries but also to the workers on the North American continent. This paper includes long quotations.

Analysis and Critique

From the Paper
"In Gugliemo's article, the issue of a vanishing middle class is a dangerous idea for native North American technology workers. When companies continually find that they can outsource jobs without government regulation, the country will find itself in a crisis. While the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, where does the middle class go? Certainly, they would find themselves in the majority of the poor, which can constitute a real danger of stability in the country. Throughout history when the middle class is a missing link between the rich and the poor, civil strife will most likely ensue."

Abstract
The paper reviews and analyzes "What's Worth Knowing" by Wendy Lustbader, a geriatric social worker who met many people of the older generation and wrote a book based on the experience they gleaned in their eighty or so years of living. The paper shows how the book uses ordinary individuals to make up stirring recollections.

From the Paper
"The book captures the pulse and flavor of the individual contributors; every one of the single-paged accounts reverberates with a spirit of great generosity and sincerity. A short, stirring biographical note and sometimes a photo accompanies each story. In her book Lustbader asks, what factors make life superior. Moreover, how do we live it? What do we know now that we wish we had known when we were young(er)? What advice would we give a young(er) person just starting out in life? Has anyone in our life taught us a valuable lesson? What was that lesson? If we could live our life over again, what would we do differently? What would we keep the same?"

Abstract
This paper reviews "How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth" which gives the layman an introduction to evangelical Christian Biblical hermeneutics. In their discussion of the Bible, authors Gordon D. Fee and Douglas Stuart give special stress to the literary qualities of different sections of the Bible and the uniqueness of different Biblical genres. The authors attempt to provide clarity to debates whether the Bible should be taken literally within the evangelical community, stressing that genre is key to understanding how literally certain passages should be understood. The paper concludes by stating that this book is a good introduction for ordinary believers who wish to learn more about the original context of the Bible.

Outline:
Introduction: Summary
Summary: Issues Addressed
Summary: Major Themes
Analysis: Point of View, Ideological and Implicit and Explicit Perspective
What Kind of Evidence do they bring to Support their Viewpoint? Is it Adequate?
Analysis How Clear is the Argument? Does it Flow Logically? Are there Gaps, Inconsistencies, or Contradictions in the Discussion or Argument?
Conclusion: Of what Value is Book? What Does it Add to the Discourse?

From the Paper
"The book combines Biblical criticism with modern theology, but with a stress upon using the background of the Bible for today's spiritual community with an understanding of how the Bible applied to its original context. The book also includes advice on choosing a translation, acknowledging that most persons are not fluent in the original, now dead languages, of the original texts. When offering suggestions about selecting a translation, the authors prefer such works as Today's New International Version of the Bible, which includes gender-neutral language when referring to human beings. They believe this most appropriate for Christian communities today, given the social changes that have occurred in the world since the document's original authorship to an ancient audience. "

Abstract
This paper performs a SWOT analysis on Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and evaluates the results. The author finds that since the September 11 2001 attacks, airport security now costs four times what it did previously. With these rising costs, he finds that it is more important than ever for operations managers to stay abreast of their market positioning. They must constantly try to increase their revenues by attracting more passengers and increasing the number of flights. In order to do this, they must perform these SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats ) analyzes to make better decisions based on solid facts.

From the Paper
"Successful airport management depends on several factors to remain competitive. First, the cost of supplies is on a continuous rise, as well as items such as fuel, utilities, and the cost of maintaining the planes. Airports are subject to several market risks as well, such as general economic conditions, events, which drop the number of passengers, and environmental factors that may cancel or delay flights. Airports are subject to increasing risk from ever-tightening EPA regulations and stiffer FAA regulations. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, airports were under incredible strain due to shaken consumer confidence in flying."

Abstract
This paper argues in favor of curfews as a way to reduce gang violence. As an example in support of this argument, the paper uses the city of Dallas where police officers were assigned with the specific task of enforcing curfew laws, which effectively reduced gang violence and other crimes committed by and against young people. The paper therefore shows how there is significant evidence that getting kids off the streets can have a significant impact on lowering gang violence. The paper argues that the enforcement of existing curfew laws can be one of the most effective acts a community can take to protect its children and reduce gang violence.

From the Paper
"Youth gang violence has been one of the most complicated problems facing American cities over the past several decades. There have been several tactics used by city official to try to curb gang violence. One of the most widely used has been the implementation of curfews. While this method cannot prevent all gang violence from occurring, police enforcement of curfews are one of the most effective ways to reduce "People tend to think that gang violence is only a problem for big cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Miami. However, in recent years police in mid-sized American cities have found themselves dealing with problems associated to gang violence. For example, in 1995 the city of Gary Indiana, with a population of only a hundred thousand people, had one hundred and thirty murders. "Everybody agreed that the situation was out of control" (Ordower, 2002)."
