Abstract This paper discusses how, due to military necessity, 120,000 Japanese Americans were unjustly interned in 1942, permanently scarring America, and creating a future precedence. The paper argues that this was an unjustified response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Surprisingly, the paper points out, many of the internees proved that they were able to make the best of a bad situation. Furthermore, despite the unfair treatment, a select few Japanese Americans were still willing to fight for their country and eventually became part of the most decorated unit in American history, the "Purple Heart Battalion". The paper concludes that this story proves that even in the face in adversity, people can do great things.

Conclusion
From the Paper "Education was another serious concern among the camps. Schools had to be set up quickly, and materials were in short supply. Most schools opened around October, an unusual month compared to normal schools. In Wyoming, "A block of barracks was set aside for use as classrooms. Books did not arrive until December and then only in limited numbers. If a student had homework, he or she had to check out the textbook for the evening. Paper and pencils were also in short supply. The chalkboard was a piece of plywood painted black. Students sat on benches, and though some teachers had a table, others used boxes for desks. Students who sat in the front of the classroom near the potbellied stoves roasted, while those who sat in the back wore coats to keep from freezing. The open ceilings made for continuous distractions as the noise from one classroom invaded adjacent rooms." Other camps had it even worse though, holding classes in dinning halls, which proved to be both noisy and crowded. Teachers were also extremely hard to come by, but were appreciated when they did. Students were eager to learn and naturally cooperative. Later in the years, real schools began to appear complete with libraries, auditoriums, and even wood shops. To make things even better, "Graduates from the high schools in the relocation centers who qualified for colleges and universities, went to these schools in the mid-west and east coast states, usually on full scholarships. By the end of the war, many of these "students" were ready to graduate with college degrees and enter the job market at the same time the returning service men were just getting ready to enter college." So many people received college degrees that many camps were even able hold reunions for the students."

Abstract This paper presents to the reader the importance of organized summer camps and programs in youth development. A special emphasis throughout the paper is placed on the influence of recreation on child development and personal growth. By defining the effect of the summer camp experience and presenting relevant statistics from reputable opinion leaders, this paper reveals that summer camp programs play a significant role in the youth development. There are three key development areas discussed in this paper, which include social skills, self-identity and physical/ health.
From the Paper "Camps offer the opportunity for attendees to gain a wide exposure to different people in different walks of life. Campers come from diverse socio-economic classes, different backgrounds and different family structures. Therefore, the development of compassion and empathy for fellow human beings is a core social development area. Camps offer children opportunities to share stories around a campfire, to contribute their thoughts, ideas and suggestions. As children acknowledge the thoughts and feelings of other children, it is natural to develop compassion for each other. Learning to be understanding, to be civil and accepting of other individuals will aid campers in social situations as they grow older and particularly as they become adults."
Abstract This paper presents a brief look at the beginnings and evolution of the Nazi concentration camps. The writer looks at the original purpose of these camps and at their evolution into death camps. The writer also argues that the Jewish people were not the only victims and the prisoners were not just Jews. The writer points out that righteous people, trying to stand up for the rights of their fellow man and people of many different ethnicities and religions were all victims of the Nazi campaign. The writer concludes that World War II and the Jewish Holocaust changed humanity.
From the Paper "World War II and the Jewish Holocaust is remembered as the darkest moment of humanity in recent history. It is generally believed that the Nazi party, under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, was on a quest to rid the world of Jewish people. The pictures of starving men and women in German concentration camps are probably remembered most. Most people believe that those men and women are the poor Jews hated by all Germans. However, the persecution included people of many faiths and ethnicities. The truth of the matter is that the camps were not originally planned to be extermination plants, and actually for the first few years only a small percentage of prisoners were Jewish."
Abstract In this article, the writer looks at the bargaining at the 1978 Camp David Accords summit. The writer contends that the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel marked a notable event in Middle East history. The writer discusses international bargaining in this paper. Further, the writer examines the role of the United States, issues and compromises.
From the Paper "Shibley Telhami characterized the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, concluded under the aegis of the United States in 1978, as a remarkable event in Middle East history. From the perspective of international politics, Telhami believes that Camp David provides an excellent opportunity for examining international bargaining and exploring the relative explanatory power of several causal variables. Among these variables are super power and regional relations, conflicts in culture and the actual structure of the process of bargaining as well as the ... "

Abstract This paper explains that correctional boot camps for troubled teenagers are therapeutic in-prison and outside programs "that resemble military basic training. They emphasize vigorous physical activity, drill and ceremony, manual labor and other activities" (Ashcroft, Daniels & Hart 2). Every aspect of behavior is subject to strict rules. The paper also discusses the numerous potential benefits that can be produced by these programs such as character development, instilling a sense of responsibility, the promotion of positive self-image, and occasionally reduced recidivism rates to facilities for young offenders. Boot camps can produce attitudinal and behavior change as well as improved coping skills.
Abstract This paper explores the revenue streams available to non-profit and for-profit summer camps. The author emphasizes the need to diversify revenue streams as much as possible while simultaneously building professional and personal relationships within the local community. The paper suggests that a close attention to detail can have great rewards down the road.
From the Paper "Types of funding for non-profit and profit recreational summer camps There are a variety of different funding mechanisms in place for non-profit and profit-based recreational summer camps; it is simply a matter of digging sufficiently to find what revenue streams are most viable for your organization - and what revenue streams are most dependable. This research paper explores several avenues that are available to summer camp directors eager to ensure that the future of his or her camp is not compromised by a lack of finances. As should become apparent, the more revenue streams that a camp is able to tap into, the more likely it is that that camp will be able to survive the inevitable vicissitudes of government and state funding that inevitably arise. With that in mind, it is to a discussion of summer camp funding that this paper now turns."

From the Paper "Visualize a world without cars, a world without telephones, and a world without television. Without these technologies we, as a society, would be almost paralyzed. We would have difficulty to move, difficulty to communicate, and difficulty to get information. It is thus apparent how fundamental technology is to the survival of our civilization. Technology is an integral part of our society. It is in the movies we watch. It is in the food we eat. It is all over the world that we live in. It encompasses everything that forms our lives. Technology is important because of the basic fact that it brings about tremendous benefits to mankind. Thus, with all these conveniences and advantages that technology brings to us it is difficult to imagine a world without it."
Abstract This paper discusses how both Congress and interest groups are constantly looking in to new ways to ensure the safety of passengers in the various modes of travel currently available since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It looks at how Congress and the President have created the Transportation Security Administration and passed new laws in an effort to protect American travelers and how the courts are starting to become active in travel security by awarding large settlements to victims of hotels that don?t provide adequate protection. It examines such issues as Congress and air-travel, lapses in security, transport on buses, trains and boats and issues regarding travelling with children and evaluates the air travel security law which addresses having additional air marshals on flights and replacing security screeners with a federal agency, but requires airports to install full explosive detection systems by the end of 2002.
From the Paper In response to the Congressional mandate of strengthening aviation security, President Bush appointed John W. Magow to the newly created Transportation Security Administration (Nakashima A07). Magow ?a former director of the Secret Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (Nakashima A07)? was working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency as the executive director of the Office of National Preparedness (Nakashima A07). Magow, whose new title is undersecretary of transportation for security, was appointed with little opposition. He is now responsible for all civil aviation security functions as mandated by Congress."

Abstract Security has become the greatest concern of United States government since the terrorist attacks of September 11. But while enhanced security is desirable, the costs that are associated with it are unfortunately causing numerous financial problems for airlines in the United States. The aviation industry is already suffering from slow economic growth in the country and now with extra security expenditure, many airlines fear they will fail to post profit in the next few quarters. The paper discusses the rising cost of security and how it is hurting airline business in the United States. The paper also sheds light on general condition of airlines immediately after September 11, which helps in understanding why extra security costs are highly undesirable in these financially chaotic times.
Abstract A paper on airport security, examining the roles played by the public administrator, airport managers, airlines and security firms. The paper further considers the sources of poor security performance in the poor training and low wages of security and security-related personnel.
Abstract This paper looks at how the current Social Security debate is centered on the ability of the current system to continue to provide Social Security benefits to the next generation of elderly and how many argue that Social Security, as it exists today, will become unable to provide benefits to the next generation of working people. It examines the arguments made by social scientists in favor of incorporating private accounts to the Social Security program in order to determine whether privatization is a valid alternative to the present Social Security program.

Social Security and the Privatization Plan
The Present Debate
The Privatization Plan
From the Paper "From the very inception of Social Security there has been a debate over its ability to sustain itself, and even it's constitutionality. In 1937, the Supreme Court heard Helvering v. Davis, a case in which a man sued his employer for their compliance with the Social Security Act. He argued that under the "reserve clause" of the Constitution (the 10th Amendment) powers not specifically granted to the federal government are reserved for the States or the people. When the federal government seeks to expand its influence in new areas it must find some basis in the Constitution to justify its action. Obviously, the Constitution did not specifically mention the operation of a social insurance system as a power granted to the federal government."
This paper discusses the rising crime rates on university campuses while also examining the effectiveness and costs for implementing video access control security systems on the grounds.
Abstract This paper outlines the video security system which depends not only on cameras but also on card readers and other security measures. This paper details the effectiveness of this security system which was installed at Harvard University as well as on various university campuses in Germany. The writer of this paper examines the primary goals of this security system which is primarily to ensure a feeling of safety among residents and visitors to the campuses. This paper explores the various benefits of this system including the fact the publicizing the installation of this type of security system would let would-be criminals know that they are unlikely to escape undetected should they attempt to commit a crime on campus grounds. This paper also contains a price list illustrating the cost for this particular security system.

From the Paper "Obviously, costs will vary from campus to campus, depending on the number of access points to be protected. However, estimates per campus can be made from the following information regarding a four-camera closed-circuit system, using existing computer power at the university as needed. This package would be adequate for a residence hall with four doors. The figures are the costs of the cameras and auxiliary equipment in both U.S. and Canadian dollars; however, similar packages available in Germany would exhibit similar price points. Added to this cost is the cost of programming computers to turn cameras on and off, if that was desired, equipment for viewing captured tape, and the labor costs of installation."
Abstract The paper discusses how there have been numerous changes in American national security policies since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington D.C. The most important changes have been the Bush Administration's preemptive war policy, the passage and implementation of the USA Patriot Act and homeland security measures intended to increase airline security. The paper notes that many of these changes in national security policies have been controversial, while changes that have not been made have convinced many security experts and citizens that the United States is more vulnerable to terrorism than it was four years ago.
Abstract This paper discusses network security and the threat posed by a company's internal employees to network security. The paper explains that while it is recognized that external threats such as hackers, worms, viruses and various email attack strategies pose a significant and often expenses security risk, protecting against these risks is a known quantity. On the other hand, the paper relates that protecting against employee network security risks is more problematic and often requires human resource initiatives in tandem with network security applications and protocols.
From the Paper "There are essentially two separate schools of thought regarding the character of network security vis-a-vis the threat to security posed by employees. On the one hand there is the opinion that employees pose the greatest threat to network security due to their network access and often unrestrained Internet use. Conversely, there is the school of thought that, while admitting that employees pose a considerable security risk, believe that external threats such as hackers and viruses pose a far greater risk. The industry consensus seems to be that both issues need to be addressed but that employee security risks is perhaps the most difficult to prevent since 84% of security violations across a network occur when employees, either intentionally or inadvertently, send proprietary data outside of a company's network."
Abstract The paper discusses how the private security industry as a whole tends to benefit in times of social unrest and tension, such as during periods of concern about crime, or when other fears spur the public to seek ways to reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim.This paper further discusses security lighting, emphasizing that one of the best approaches to security is to illuminate the vicinity in order to increase one's sense of security, drive away intruders, reduce the likelihood of accidents, and at the same time create a more pleasing look for a building, a yard, or a parking lot. Lighting is required for many types of security system. For some, the lights themselves are a deterrent and constitute the primary security element. In other cases, lighting serves a secondary purpose as well.
