Abstract
This paper explains that a "dirty nuke", a radiological dispersion device (RDD), is a combination of conventional explosives and radioactive material designed to scatter dangerous and sub-lethal amounts of radioactive material over a general area. The author points out that the consensus among experts is that that terrorists are more likely to use a "dirty nuke" rather than a conventional nuclear bomb because materials for this device are more accessible and it does not require as high a degree of technological knowledge to create as does a conventional nuclear bomb. The paper relates that, while not as destructive, a "dirty nuke" can create terror and destruction on a large scale.

From the Paper
"As experts point out, there is a great fear in the public perception of radiation and if a "dirty nuke" is detonated in a city the danger of contamination would mean that the inhabitants would firstly have to be immediately evacuated. This leads to another important reason why the terrorists would use this type of bomb; namely, that large-scale evacuations are extremely costly. However, the greatest damage would be the psychological rather than the radioactive fallout."

Abstract
The writer of this paper discusses the dirty wars of Latin America that were enabled by the military forces, which were independent units that had no civilian political control in their own country. This paper looks at how various Latin American military conglomerates governed enormous military-industrial complexes which gave them an undue economic strength. This paper also contains relevant historical details and facts on this subject including how Costa Rica avoided a dirty war situation by abolishing its own army in 1948.

From the Paper
"During the 1970s, the country entered a steep recession. Starting in the early 1960s, the gross domestic product expanded at a rate of 6 percent annually. This was a reflection of land reforms that were enacted in 1961, which aimed to legalize existing squatter holdings and prevent future squatting, thus giving more than 12,000 people legal rights to arable land. There was a consequent increase in export crops - bananas, coffee, sugarcane being major items - and by the mid-1970s, agriculture had become the dominant factor in the country's export income. In 1973, inflation rates skyrocketed to 15 percent and then to 31 percent in 1974."

From the Paper
"Social life in most societies is organized along institutional lines. An institution is defined as, "A society or corporation especially of a public character" (Anonymous 272). Institutions include families, marriages, schools and churches. The fact that institutions are so common in our society means that we largely take them for granted. People often fail to realize that institutions are composed of people and that the activities of these people determine how an institution will operate. The way that an institution operates is often referred to as organization culture."

Abstract
This paper looks at the theme of the poem, "The Dirty Word," and the different literary techniques that can be seen throughout the poem. Examples of Shapiro's use of metaphor, analogy, and symbolism are provided and their meaning explained. The paper also draws a comparison between the power and significance of words within the poem and the significance placed on words in Jewish theological tradition.

From the Paper
"Karl Shapiro's poem, "The Dirty Word" compares a young boy hearing a dirty word to a young boy keeping a vulture. The vulture acts as a metaphor, and the way it interacts with the boy offers examples of the way that hearing a dirty word might affect a young child's mind and how a young boy might both delight in the pleasure of a using a forbidden word and transgressing boundaries even as he is ultimately ashamed and repulsed by the dirty word's offensiveness. Equally important in the poem is the theme of death not only is the dirty word compared to a carrion-eating vulture, but the boy's funeral is described, and the narrator also claims to have murdered the dirty word in his own mind. The poem then, reveals itself to be an elegy, but the exact kind of elegy is not clear until the poem's final lines. In the final lines of the poem, the speaker reveals that his story about the boy and the dirty word was in fact autobiography and that his poem is an elegy for himself?an elegy for the death of the innocent and youthful child that the speaker once was."

Abstract

It concludes that Argentina is trying to heal its wounds and move on.

"In 1944 while he was Secretary of labor and social affairs, he met Maria Eva Duarte who became his mistress. On the following year, they were married after his arrest and succeeding release from detention. In 1946, Juan was elected to Presidency with his wife, Evita Peron, as his strong political supporter. Evita's machinations led to some improvements in the government and support for him and his position. However, Evita died of cancer in 1952 (Del Testa, et al., 2007:144)."

"The Godfather was the highest-grossing film of 1972, while Dirty Harry was a major success the year before. Both films can be defined loosely as being in the crime genre, but their generic differences are considerable. The Godfather is in the tradition of the gangster film, though it melds this with a traditional family drama, while Dirty Harry is a police drama that owes as much to television as to earlier movies for much of its structure and theme. The Godfather was directed by Francis Ford Coppola in his first major studio feature, while Dirty Harry was directed by Don Siegel, a veteran with many films to his credit by the time he directed this one. The way the two filmmakers approach their material is quite different, and yet in one respect they are similar--both filmmakers respond to the socio-historical forces of their time and embody some aspect of those forces in their.."

Abstract
This paper looks at Machievelli's "The Prince," and the affect it's mass publication had on the world's impression of European society. The author examines why this work had such an affect, what actually happened, and also looks at the world's fascination with this particular work. The author presents some of the radical ideas presented, including that for the first time, instead of idealizing the prince and his position, Machiavelli looked for what made for effective governance.

From the Paper
"To begin with, it would seem necessary that an attempt be made to present a basic definition of what idealizing . The concept of an ideal is contestable to be sure, as there are various definitions of what constitutes an ideal determined depending upon whom the question is being asked. It is also possible though, that people may share the same or similar ideals. The ideal may refer to a maxim, an idea, or the qualities of a leader. When an ideal or idealization is mentioned therefore, it is in reference to the assigning of properties of merit or worth to one of the items mentioned above. In regards to Machiavelli, part of the argument of this paper is that what makes him unique as a political writer is that he does not idealize the role of prince in society. With this very general idea of what an ideal or what idealization is, it is now possible to move on to an examination of what the ideal of the prince was prior to Machiavelli s period."

From the Paper
"Strom Thurmond is South Carolina, and South Carolina is Strom Thurmond. He began his public office-holding career in 1929 as county superintendent of education and, except for the period from 1950 to 1954, has continued to serve his state in one governmental function or another (Bass and Thompson 40). He is the Senate's oldest and longest serving member at the age of 98. He is currently serving his eighth, possibly last, consecutive term - more on this later (1, 338). Mark Goodin, Strom's campaign manager in 1996, says of Strom, "There's still nobody better at pressing the flesh" (338). He refers to the Senator's reputation as the king of all campaigners. Strom "took small county politics and applied it on a statewide basis" according to fellow Congressman Butler Derrick, who was raised in Strom's hometown of Edgefield, South Carolina."

Abstract
This paper looks at children's television and its negative influence on children today. The first section starts off the paper with a view into the positive side of children's television. Television isn't entirely evil, so this section helps the reader understand that you aren't completely against television. The second section describes how children are emotionally and mentally influenced by television shows. The third section relates how a child's increasing violent nature could be the result of the violence that they view every day in their shows. The fourth section discusses how the media is involved, primarily on a consumer basis. The fifth and final section refers to what the parent can do to in a world that is surrounded in television.

From the Paper
"Televisions shows that are directed primarily towards a child audience are to a large degree responsible for the controversial decline in development that is visible in today's youth culture. Through this medium children are exposed to vast quantities of violence and negative themes. These shows contribute to the breakdown of family as well as the lessened emotional development of children. Not only has television proven detrimental on a child-to-child basis, but in addition has greatly influenced the overall standards of our consumer culture and quite possibly made us more so. While children's educational television shows are given high notoriety for making a positive contribution to a child's education and development, the problem lies in the fact that parents oftentimes neglect to research or take an active interest in their children's viewing. Due to the fact that they consider the programs directed mainly towards children to be either education or purely for the basis of entertainment parents do not seriously scrutinize them. In effect they fail to suspect these shows as being a major contributor to the upbringing and future of their children and the younger generation."
