Abstract
This paper explains that one of the roles of park rangers and game wardens is to act as a law enforcement officer. The author points out that a major feature of the job is its variety, which means that there really are no "typical" days. The author relates that a key aspect of the working conditions is that a park ranger generally spends the majority of their time outdoors, which is often mentioned as one of the key benefits of being a park ranger; however, it should be remembered that working outside on a long-term basis is not always as great as it initially sounds.

From the Paper
"A master's degree is also worth considering for some individuals. Master's degrees can be completed in any of the fields described above and can help an individual gain a position as a park ranger. A master's degree is also especially useful for individuals wanting to progress to higher levels within the industry. While a person can choose to complete a master's degree immediately after completing a bachelor's degree, it is often recommended that individuals gain employment first and complete the master's degree while working. The experience gained while the master's degree is being completed often puts the person in a good position to gain employment at a higher level on completion of the master's program."

Rosa Parks sparked the ignition that led to the modern day civil rights movement, as she was representative of the growing unrest that was present in the African American community during 1950s and 1960s America. Her single rebellious act led the way for other to express their displeasure with the discrimination and prejudice that was the norm of the day.

Running Head: ROSA PARKS Rosa Parks: A Catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement Rosa Parks sparked the ignition that led to the modern day civil rights movement, as she was representative of the growing unrest that was present in the African American community during 1950s and 1960s America.

Abstract
This paper explains that, while "South Park" and Marilyn Manson are enjoyed by a largely overlapping population, these satirists use completely different methods: Manson works primarily in music and lyrics; "South Park" is based on animation and dialogue. The author points out that Marilyn Manson and "South Park" use their true artistry intelligence to communicate their social commentary following in the footsteps of past rebel-artists, such as Mozart, Nietzsche, and Orwell's "1984", all of whom were considered shocking in their day. The paper states that absurdity and profanity are literary techniques, which are used by the most educated of satirists; children in school read books, such as Toni Morrison's "Song of Solomon!" with its necrophiliac incest and urine fetishes and Homer's "Odysseus" with its mass murder, which are no less sources of immoral values than "South Park" is.

From the Paper
"Another media feeding-frenzy surrounds the ever-controversial cartoon "South Park". The same critiques that are applied to daytime talk show garbage is applied to this satirical comedy: "The very same stereotypes that have plagued both women and men for centuries are in full force...The profanity was so bad that many of the words had to be deleted." Yet the ever-complaining "family" organizations that knock "South Park" down to the level of Jerry Springer sewage programming have missed the point, and therefore validated it. "South Park" is satire, and largely misunderstood, just like Marilyn Manson. When the foul-mouthed cartoon children of South Park fling doo-doo, take drugs, kick the baby, or kill their best friend Kenny, it's not being serious."

Abstract
In this paper, the author presents a field observation of people, their activities and their interactions at the park on a nice day. First, the author describes a boy learning to ride a bike and his parents different approaches to teaching and encouragement. Then, various people walking their dogs are noted, which includes an observation of a conflict between pet owners when one dog begins to attach another. Next, the author notes how mothers reacted to their kids on climbing equipment, with some interacting with their children while others chatted on their cellphones. Finally, the paper takes a look at joggers, those who were fit and enjoying their run as opposed to those who were at the beginning phases of getting into shape.

From the Paper
"I noticed an interesting dynamic between the two parents. The mother seemed genuinely encouraging. However, the father seemed less comfortable with balancing the role between coaching the boy and providing comfort. When the boy cried, at first the father would imitate the mother's words: "it is okay Chris, you can do it." But as the young boy became increasingly hysterical, the father began to grow frustrated, and offer practical advice, like to try to keep the bike centered. I received the impression that if the mother was not there, the father would have been more aggressive in the way he behaved toward his son, and he was having difficulty negotiating between nurturance and firmness. Our current culture seems to encourage fathers to behave more tenderly to their offspring, and perhaps the more aggressive coaching role his own father played when he was a boy was in conflict with this new parenting model."

Abstract
This paper presents "Coney Island" by photographer Harvey Stein, a colorful testimony to the gritty reality, gaudy display and incredible diversity of Coney Island. The paper discusses each section: Amusements, Boardwalk, Mermaid Parade, The Workers and The Beach. The paper author believes that by documenting Coney Island pictorially Stein keeps the area alive even though the best days of the park are behind it.

From the Paper
"The Amusements section sets the scene, documenting the rides and attractions that bring the people to the place. Many of these pictures emphasize motion of the ride, with a central focus point that draws the eye. The Boardwalk section concentrates more on the people attending Coney Island and the activities that go on there, such as feeding the seagulls, McDonald's, French fries, and lovers sneaking kisses. These photos often document a sort of desperation in having fun, a feeling of the need to capture the moment before it is gone and the workweek returns."

From the Paper
"As tensions rose between protestors and police around the country, several eruptions of violence occurred. One of the most prominent took place at Occupy Oakland on October 25,2 011, when protestor Scott Olsen was struck in the head by a police-fired canister. The former marine was left with significant head injuries and was placed in critical care. Another famous incident occurred when a retired teacher, Dorli Rainey, was pepper sprayed in the face by police at Occupy Seattle. The 84-year-old woman's attack was photographed moments after, creating one of the most galvanizing images of the movement."

Abstract
Through a reading of her memoir "Living History", this paper assesses Clinton's rise to leadership and her various strengths and weaknesses as a leader. The first part of the paper studies the first leadership roles of the young Hillary. The next part then evaluates Clinton's actions in light of the various theories discussed in Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership" and Lee G. Bolman's "Reframing Organizations". The next parts examine how she has gone on assuming new roles, from her political conversion to a Democrat and her early career as a lawyer in Arkansas. Much of the paper is necessarily devoted to her leadership role as the First Lady amid much scandal, public adulation, and public censure. In the last section, the paper summarizes how the theories on leadership help shed light on the processes and decisions made by Clinton through various points in her career.

From the Paper
"Unlike them, Clinton was clearly not interested in this delicate, secondary form of leadership. Rather, she became an active participant in several of her husband's most important campaigns from health care to welfare reform. When her term as First Lady ended, she extended her leadership role further in her new position as New York's junior senator."

Abstract
This paper examines how the environmental movement in America can be traced to the politics and conservation policies of three men and how Frederick Law Olmstead, Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir had possibly the strongest influence on what modern day America considers environmentalism and conservation. It shows how the combination of these three men ultimately had a tremendous effect on the mindset of the conservationalist population in North America. It evaluates how Olmstead's parks are known and imitated throughout the world, Roosevelt's environmental policies were so innovative and ahead of their time, that today eighty some years after his death, we still have many National Forests and National Parks to enjoy and how the deep rooted environmental convictions of John Muir are responsible for the beating heart of the environmental movement.

From the Paper
"It was as President that Roosevelt had the largest effect on the conservation movement in the United States. When Roosevelt began his quest to put aside land for future generations, the forest reserves in the United States included approximately forty three million acres. Under Roosevelt's direction, this expanded to one hundred and ninety four million acres which represents nearly a four hundred percent increase in the acreage that was set aside. The area that Roosevelt protected is larger than France, Belgium, and the Netherlands combined. "

Abstract
This paper explains that the author's visit to the New Orleans Mardi Gras surpassed her most outrageous expectations, an experience that she will never forget and will recount to her children and grandchildren. The author points out that all of the music, pouring from the bands playing in City Park, from the portable radios and stereos up and down the street, from the open doors of local bars and restaurants, and from the young boys dotted throughout the crowds playing steel drums, seemed to meld into one sound, one beat, a distinctive carnival drumbeat. The paper relates that the author and her cousins ended their day by stopping at Caf' du Monde for coffee and beignets where they rested their feet and admired their collection of "throws", which draped their necks and bulged from their plastic bags.

From the Paper
"Saturday afternoon we took a taxi down Orleans Avenue to City Park, the beginning of the Endymion parade route. Both sides of the street were literally packed with thousands of people, at least eight to ten deep, while mounted police patrolled up and down. The meridian was lined with sofas, stuffed chairs, rocking chairs, lawn furniture, barbecue grills, large ice chests, six-pack coolers and the like. Many people had spent the night on the street to ensure a good spot to watch the parade. One look around and I began to understand why this was known as the people's parade."

Abstract
The paper shows how Jane Austen expresses her opinions on the fashions of the day through her characters' views on the topic in her novels "Pride and Prejudice," "Northanger Abbey," "Mansfield Park," "Sense and Sensibility," and "Emma."

From the Paper
"Fashion, and the propriety of dress, act as indicators of character in Jane Austen's novels Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, Sense and Sensibility, and Emma. When reading a novel from another era, it is easy to overlook or misunderstand that which would have been readily comprehended by a contemporary reader, such as the implications of various kinds of dress. Thus, in evaluating the text, references to historical context and contemporary attitudes must be made. Conversely, by examining the author's attitudes about dress, it is possible to make assumptions about the opinion of the day."
