Abstract
The paper explains that lack of awareness of threats to the environment and man's greed for wealth and short-term gains have caused the four billion year old bio-geophysical system to be destroyed. The author points out that experts are of the view that the economic value of the rainforest will increase by leaving the rainforests as they are and reaping its nuts, fruits, oil producing plants and medicinal plants rather than simply cutting them down to generate grazing land for cattle or for timber. The paper relates that, if the exploitation at the present rate goes on unhindered, the coastal regions will be annihilated and the ecosystems and the communities of plants and animals they house will be extensive depleted.

From the Paper
"Presently, the effluents find their ways to the Great Lakes in several ways. However, the main three vents of effluents are seen at the point source, non-point source and atmospheric pollution. The point source pollution occurs when the effluents come to the waterway by means of a particular entry point like a drainpipe draining directly into a river; it is known as point source pollution. The Industrial water wastes and sewage treatment mechanisms are considered to be the significant offenders of such type of contamination. Contrary to the point source pollution, non-point source or NPS pollution stems from many different dispersed sources and is quite difficult to standardize and manage; hence many experts consider that NPS pollution is the most hazardous confronting the Great Lakes today."

Abstract
Discusses how the inalienable human rights were destroyed. Hannah Arendt's views on the topic. Her concept of "rightlessness" that occurred in the mid-20th Century when Jews, marginal and stateless people were lumped in one group and deprived of their right to belong to a community. The loss of a polity and human dignity.

"THE END OF THE RIGHTS OF MAN

Hannah Arendt is most famous for a comment she made when covering the trial of Adolf Eichman, a Nazi war criminal. She said he represented the banality of evil . Evil, in her lifetime was hardly quite that easy to explain. Maybe that is one reason she is so pessimistic about Man in general and the rights he either deserves or earns. After all, there surely was not a more hideous example of Man s inhumanity to Man than what happened to million of Jews in Europe- who were deported and most killed for no reason other than that they were Jews. The Nazis gave it a fancy name: Racial cleansing . Of course, there are still those who believe it never happened, or never happened to that great extent, or was no worse than what the Boers did in South Africa, the Japanese did in China, or what the conquistadors did ..."

Abstract
On September 8, 1900, powerful winds running over 140 mph devastated the whole city of Galveston, Texas, killing 6000 people and destroying most of the city. The paper examines the role several people and public institutions played in the Galveston Storm, including the Weather Bureau which ignored warnings of the hurricane from 'unofficial' sources. The paper also looks at the personal stories of residents such as Isaac Cline who worked for the Weather Bureau, as well as the nuns and children from the Sisters of Charity Orphanage, who lost their lives in the storm.

From the Paper
"The storm took the lives of a lot of people. Amongst them were the Sisters of Charity Orphanage. 10 Sisters and 90 children lost their lives. The Sisters ran an infirmary and an orphanage. The orphanage was located on the beach. On the day of the storm Sister Elizabeth Ryan had commuted to town to get food for the children. She rushed back to the orphanage to be with the children. The storm water had reached the dormitories and was slowing causing the buildings to collapse. The sisters gathered all the children into the girl's dorm. They sang "Queen of the Waves" to calm the children down. In order to save their lives the sisters tied six to seven children around their waist. It was a very brave gesture on their part to protect the children. Sadly the storm waters claimed their lives and only 3 children managed to survive. The survivors lived to tell the eye witness encounter of the sisters' bravery. Thus every year on September the 8th the Sisters of the Charity Orphanage sing "Queen of the Waves" around the same time they perished."

Abstract
Daniel Quinn's take on nature and how it fits into common beliefs and misconceptions. The essay is also about how mankind is destroying the world and what we need to do to adjust our thinking.

From the Paper
"A story where a man comes into contact with a psychic gorilla who tries to convince a man that societies ways are hurting the earth might seem superfluous to some. Once one realizes that the psychic gorilla is a literary device and not arbitrarily thrown in for no reason, it becomes clear that this is not a call for saving the trees or the dolphins, nor any other environmental group. Daniel Quinn, the author of Ishmael, wants the reader to completely change his way of thinking. Quinn seems to want his readers to realize what their actions and thoughtlessness are doing to the earth."

Abstract
Cutting the rain forest threatens biodiversity. Cutting the rain forest destroys a valuable carbon sink to protect against greenhouse gases. Cutting down the rain forest threatens the indigenous people in the rain forest. Finally, attempts to repair the damage have failed.

From the Paper
"Urban planning policies and architectural fashions have contributed to the loss of a sense of place and community in American cities. These policies did not intend that this be the result, and architects also were not trying to shift from the sense of place to a more isolated view of human beings. These results show, however, that planning can be directed too much at efficiency and not enough at either aesthetics or social meaning. The way people live is much affected by the environment in which they live. Left to their own devices, they will also shape that environment around their mode of life. Planners, however, shape cities around their current ideas of efficiency, often serving governmental rather than human needs, and constrained by economics, the interplay of special interests, and many other forces at work in the planning and ..."

Abstract
This essay examines and analyzes the greatest tragedy of 20th century Russia: the show trials, purges, and terror of the 1930s. The essay asks the following question: How did the destruction of over 10 million innocent citizens by their own countrymen ever happen? Recent research proves the Stalin was the mastermind of this insane "witch-hunt," but Stalin was not insane: he had clear and practical motivations behind the slaughter. As unjustified as they are, they do exist and are the focus of discussion and analysis in this paper.

From the Paper
"The Great Purges of the Soviet Union began in 1934 with Kirov's assassination and ended in late 1938. To this day, they remain "the greatest riddle of Stalin's reign." (Radzinsky 319). This self-inflicted mass murder and "witch-hunt" consumed at least 8 million victims, people from all walks of society who were either executed or sent to labor camps where the survival rate was less than ten percent. Beginning with the show trials of old Bolsheviks, the purges moved on through the ranks of industrial managers, military leaders, scientists, artists, cultural figures, and finally well into the mass of common people, thus terrorizing the entire country. The arrests and killings eventually started to paralyze the Soviet Union and were soon in no one's self-interest; they began to drain the USSR physically and economically. Engineers and managers were killed, slowing the economy. So many Red Army officers were killed that the Soviets were largely unprepared for World War II (Hochschild 96). By the end of 1938, the country was no longer ruled by the Party, nor even by Stalin. It was ruled by fear (Radzinsky 356). Only then did Stalin relax the purges and order the execution of the leader of the NKVD, Yezhov."

Abstract
This paper, written in first person, relates the story of a young man who died of a drug overdose and the importance of the involvement in the family to prevent such occurrences.

From the Paper
"Dreams are in every person s mind. We all have dreams, especially when we are kids. Although some of our dreams come true, most of them just vanish through the passing of life. However, the best way to acquire them start from the strength of a united family, where the time to listen is given, where help is given when needed it and where advice is provided before making decisions. Without these basic fundamentals, not only the dreams may fade away but also lives can be devastated. One of the worse consequences of the lack of families obligations is the use of drugs. Drugs have destroyed families and have even taken lives away."

Abstract
This is a research essay that deals with Fredrick Douglass historically as the man who was finally able to convince the general public and President Lincoln of the evils of slavery. It is also a literary analysis of Fredrick Douglass' work, specifically "Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass: An American Slave". It begins with the pro-slavery argument, and shows how Fredrick Douglass shattered all aspects of this argument with both his stories about his life as a slave and the fact that he was as powerful an orator as any white man in his time.

From the Paper
"The pro-slavery argument, which declared that the Negro is inferior to a white man and that his natural abilities suited him for slavery, managed to secure the status and wealth of those who benefited economically from the institution for the time it existed after the Revolution, despite the moral arguments against it. Abolitionists, people against slavery, from the North toiled with no avail for years to abolish the system that had corrupted the minds of so many American citizens. However, it was not until the coming of the first great African-American speaker and abolitionist, Fredrick Douglass, which the planter aristocracy lost their influence and slavery finally fell to pieces with the end of the Civil War."
