Abstract
The paper discusses how doctors and nurses are overwhelmed by their daily interaction with trauma and suffering, and simply administer pain medications to turn off the human emotions they come into contact with. The paper describes how for the patient, this provides a negative message, which has them seeing their caregivers as mere "human mechanics" working solely on the physical aspects of patient care.

Abstract
This paper asserts that there are a host of policies that have impacted erosion of substantial employment opportunities within the United States over the past forty years. The research for this paper finds that workers for the past 20 plus years have been faced with a dilemma - their fear of job security or lack of - leads to decreased productivity.

"There are a host of policies that have impacted erosion of substantial employment opportunities within the United States over the past forty years. The research for this paper finds that workers for the past 20 plus years have been faced with a dilemma - their fear of job security or lack of - leads to decreased productivity. While it is easy to point to external policies like NAFTA and GIATA, the declining productivity goes back to 1972, when the average American wage ..."

Abstract
The paper discusses how, as the Earth's average temperature rises, crop production decreases. The paper notes the significance of a decrease in crop production and provides a literature review. The paper shows how, in general, global warming has a negative effect on crop production and the unpredictability of climatic change can also have a negative effect on crop production when farmers are ill-prepared. The paper points out, however, that although many crops will suffer, certain crops such as winter wheat seem to thrive in the global warming models.

"Peng et al. (2004) explore the affect of higher night temperatures, from global warming, on rice production. They evaluated these effects by a direct study on the effects of global warming on crop production, by analyzing weather data at the International Rice Research Institute Farm, from the years 1979 to 2003. They examined temperature trends and how they related to rice yield, by using the data obtained from irrigated field experiments, that were conducted at the International Rice Research Institute Farm. The researchers found that rice production fell 10 percent for each 1o C increase in minimum temperature. However, maximum temperature had an insignificant effect on crop yield. Therefore the researchers concluded that there was direct evidence that rice yields decreased with increased nighttime temperature associated with global warming."

Abstract
The paper addresses the issue of child molestation in America and relates that to date, there is no cure for pedophilia. The paper discusses how chemical castration has reduced the sex drive and aggressive tendencies of pedophiles by significantly lowering levels of testosterone, and as a result, their desire and ability to assault children is greatly diminished. To confirm this assertion, the paper suggests a study that could be conducted in a clinical setting in which voluntary participants, who are admitted or convicted pedophiles, are administered an anti-androgen that reduces the level of testosterone.

Abstract
The following paper is a proposal for a city-wide 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, run by former criminal offenders, that will endeavor to steer young people away from crime, drug use, and - not least of all - violence. In working towards this important goal, the organization will join hands with the local university in an ambitious research program that will propose new methods for dealing with various types of crime while, at the same time, quantifying the impact and effectiveness of those methods using the latest evaluative tools. As well, the program I have in mind will train individuals both young and old how to live their lives constructively and in a manner consistent with the highest in civic values. In the final analysis, the program is a comprehensive outreach program that will work with young people on the street, in the community's schools, and will utilize peer mentoring, job counseling, remedial education, and (where needed) cognitive behavioral therapy to take back our streets from local gangs and others who seek to drag young people down the wrong path.

Abstract
This paper explains that the decreasing amount of phytoplankton in the sea, which is a primary food producer, does have the potential to decrease the amount of human food as well as an increase in food competition around the world. Next, the author suggests that human beings should try to find ways to preserve and increase availability of phytoplankton. However, the paper underscores the decrease in phytoplankton can be stopped by implementing deliberate methods centered on increasing phytoplankton growth so that human beings will have enough food for the coming centuries.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Lastly, the decreasing amount of phytoplankton affects food availability around the world because, aside from sucking up gases, it also produces sulphur containing organic gases like the dimethylsulfide (DMS) and the dimethylsulfonioproprionate (DMSP) that are used by marine plants or are suspended into the air. After evaporating it forms sulfuric acid that form clouds that are highly important to plants, especially those that are on land. By decreasing phytoplankton in the ocean, there is less sulfuric acid and clouds in the air, which mean a tougher environment for the living organisms on land. Plants are less likely to produce edible substance for food, as an effect of less rain and a hotter climate."

Abstract
This term paper discusses the benefits & drawbacks of nuclear proliferation and how it can increase or decrease the security dilemma. It shows the main concern that lies at the heart of the issue of nuclear proliferation to be the security of states.

From the Paper
"Nuclear proliferation, or the spread of nuclear weapons, occurs in two ways: vertically and horizontally. Vertical proliferation occurs at a time when a country already owning nuclear weapons increases the size of its arsenals. However, the main fear lies with horizontal proliferation. Horizontal proliferation involves the spread of nuclear weapons to currently non-nuclear states. Some fear that if non-nuclear states acquire arms, it results in decreased security for all states. Others argue that if all states possess arms then the fear of a nuclear war deters states from using their nuclear weapons for offensive purposes. The question most often associated with the debate of nuclear proliferation states: Does nuclear proliferation increase or decrease the security of states? This question, commonly known as the security dilemma, lies at the heart of this issue. Opponents of nuclear proliferation claim that the emergence of new nuclear states decreases security because new nuclear states come in hostile pairs, have governments and societies that are not well rooted, and increase the likelihood of nuclear accidents and terrorist thefts of nuclear weapons. Proponents of nuclear proliferation state that the emergence of new nuclear states increases security because new nuclear states alter the dynamics of arms races and deterrent balances are inherently stable."

"The main problem of the contemporaneous environmentalists is the protection of the natural habitats in the face of global warming. The processes sees the gradual increase in global temperatures, with multiple effects, including the melting of the glaciers, the increasing levels of seas and oceans, the extinction of species or structural modifications in seasons and animal and plant composition and geographic disparity. All these represent the direct effects of vast amounts of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere. The number one generator of greenhouse gases within the United States is the coal-burning industry, followed closely by the automobile industry, which releases an annual 1.5 billion carbon dioxide (United States Environmental Protection Agency).

From the Paper
"The process by which personnel were selected explains the vehement reaction. When the time came to select staff for termination, the manager held a series of closed-door meetings at which employees were discussed and ranked. His first mistake was not communicating the criteria that would be used to make the selections. Many employees felt that seniority would factor into play, but when the first three names identified staff who had been with the company the longest, confusion and anger began to surface. Rumors about "the list" began to circulate, and staff members, who never did receive any kind of meaningful communication, thought the worst. The layoff timing and methodology also demoralized personnel. Three people were laid off one week, two the next, and three the next. The first batch found that they had been locked out of their computers when they came back from lunch."
