Abstract
This paper discusses two positions that are suggested as being the most dangerous; the Air Force's Special Operations and the Air Force's nuclear corps. The paper asserts that the dangers involved are considered both reasonable and acceptable given the fact that the US military is an all volunteer corps. The paper posits that these positions contribute to social utility and the special operations are finally deemed to be the most dangerous position in the Air Force because it places the members in direct danger on a more regular basis.

From the Paper
"Every day around the world there are consumers going to the grocery store to buy food, cleaning supplies and beverages. Consumers have their clothes dry cleaned at the cleaners, eat out in restaurants, work in office buildings and come home to a house that has been cleaned with products touted on TV and in magazines. They wash their skin and hair with products and apply beauty preparations that are absorbed into their systems. They take over-the-counter or prescribed medications intended to reduce..."

Abstract
"The Most Dangerous Game", published in 1924, is a tale of adventure and suspense with a theme that quickly grew into a classic storyline of books and films that followed its publication. " This paper examines the themes of evil and fear in the story.
From the Paper
"The Most Dangerous Game, published in 1924, is a tale of adventure and suspense with a theme that quickly grew into a classic storyline of books and films that followed its publication (The Most Dangerous Game intro). A general analysis would explain that this classic motif is "about the hunter and the hunted" (The Most Dangerous Game By Richard Connell), but this exploration is too surface. Connell writes, "I think evil is a tangible thing--with wave lengths just as light and sound have." It is this tangible, let us call it "landscape," that really presents itself as the theme of the story. However, the landscape of The Most Dangerous Game is not one of evil per se but of fear. This will be explored in the following pages. "

Abstract
The paper discusses Jonathan Kozol's article, "The Single Worst, Most Dangerous Idea", which is structured as a letter to a first-year teacher whereby Kozol tries to move the subject of the teacher's concern from standardized testing to the voucher discussion. The paper relates that the article discusses the issue of education vouchers in New York and notes that Kozol disagrees strongly with the idea of vouchers, because in his words, they give the incorrect impression that a voucher will enable parents in poor neighborhoods to send their children to the kinds of private schools attended by children of the affluent. The paper further notes that Kozol feels very strongly about this issue, and that something should be done to prevent segregation from prevailing in the public and private school system.
From the Paper
"The selection process will also lead to some segregation, he proposes just because of the nature of the process. Because a lottery process is used to narrow the list of applicants, the application process has become somewhat extensive and esoteric; that is, applicants typically only learn how to fill out an application based on referral from a family with a student currently enrolled in the institution or from a newspaper such as The New York Times, Kozol claims that it is inevitable that many parents from the South Bronx looking to use their vouchers for the education will never be informed of the proper application process, and thus the voucher system is flawed in that way (Kozol 57). The last main argument Kozol makes is that to disprove how voucher advocates say any segregation will cease to exist once the free-market of education takes over and schools compete to vie for the attention for the prospective students' applications. Kozol says that hoping this will happen places too much "blind faith" in the system, such that everyone involved will act responsibly and according to the public's best interest rather than their own (Kozol 58). Overall, Kozol systematically attempts to disprove his opposition's claims one by one, and in the process shows a very strong opinion against the implementation of a voucher system."

Abstract
In light of the growing threat of extremist terrorism based on fundamentalist religious ideologies, the author of this paper examines Pakistan and discusses it's potential to become a fundamentalist stronghold and therefore one of the most dangerous countries in the world today. The writer contends that Pakistan, because of its history and ethnic complexity, has been torn by strife and internal dissension. In the paper, the writer attempts to breakdown and analyze these complexities so as to better understand them, and to attempt to predict the future for Pakistan.
The paper includes 1 table.

From the Paper
"However, the problem of fundamental Islamic forces is one that casts its shadow over much of Asia and the Middle East, and, since 2001, in America. It is a force that must be reckoned with, as its mission is the eradication of non-Muslims, and, subsequent that, as we have seen in Sudan, a continued cleansing based on race. For this reason, Pakistan, in its weakened political state arising out of the weak stature of Musharraf's leadership, and in subsequent the recent assassination of Benazir Bhutto, and given its nuclear capability, is perhaps right now the most dangerous country in the world."

Abstract
This paper argues that, solely based on its chemical effects and the potential for violence and crime which it can hold, PCP is the most dangerous drug available on the market for addicts and recreational users, alike. The effects of PCP are discussed, as are a couple of recent criminal cases that have been tied to the use (or misuse) of this illegal and unpredictable substance.
From the Paper
"Some might say that the most dangerous drug is crack cocaine. This could be argued as fact because of the awful effects it has had on America's inner cities and ghettos, how it has created addicts in nearly every metropolitan area and created thriving crime-related business for gangs and organized crime. Some might say that alcohol is the most dangerous drug, albeit a legal substance, as it probably leads to more deaths, from disease or accidents than any illegal drug. The same can be said for the legal drug nicotine, whose negative health effects are now widely known and warned against by medical authorities. Yet, this paper will argue that, solely based on its chemical effects and the potential for violence and crime which it can hold, PCP is the most dangerous drug available on the market for addicts and recreational users, alike."

Abstract
This paper discusses the mystery novel, "A Dangerous Thing" by Sarah Harrison and illustrates the central theme of how surface images are revealed to have a dark side. The story is outlined, including the academic setting and the tragic events which occur. The paper provides a brief history of the author and describes her writing style.
From the Paper
"The mystery novel "A Dangerous Thing" by Sarah Harrison is set in a university. This gives what could be a typical example of mystery genre fiction a kind of verisimilitude rare in such a work. The petty politicking amongst professors, the stultifying life of an academic, and the difficulties of reconciling an intellectual life and an emotional life, are detailed just as carefully as more typical hair-raising examples of "who done it" plot devices."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of the movie and novel. The work "Dangerous Liaisons" is compared through discussions of the movie and the book by Choderlos de Laclosto, to see where they are alike and in what ways they were different. The paper notes that the feminism aspect of each work is different because of the times that they were created but they each work to display the women as driven by sex and emotion. The movie allows the audience to see that the male character is not an innocent victim, whereas the book makes him out to be chivalrous.
From the Paper
"The underlying anger at females is evidenced but was based in the novel because the movie only differs from the movie in subtle ways. One of the things that is different is the attitude toward the man. The attitudes toward the man are subtle and one has to look carefully to determine what those differences are. Because the novel was written in 1782 the attitudes about men in general was one of admiration and blind acceptance. It is the thing Harlequin Romances are made of today. Because it was written in the 18th century it is unavoidable that the man is almost an innocent bystander, though he is given some evil traits. It is the woman who wants revenge who is portrayed in the worst light. This is not surprising because at the time the book was written a woman who would do the things she did would be viewed as crass, rude, and vengeful."
