Abstract
This paper discusses military intelligence. The paper relates military intelligence to the use of the geographic information system or GIS. According to the paper, GIS is a computer system capable of capturing, storing, analyzing and displaying geographically referenced information.

From the Paper
"The next article to consider is GIS or geographic information system. A GIS is a computer system capable of capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying geographically referenced information; that is, data identified according to location. Practitioners also define a GIS as including the procedures, operating personnel, and spatial data that go into the system (USGS 2006)). GIS is considered a new and trailblazing technological application that aids in "scientific investigation, resource management and development planning. The power of a GIS comes from the ability to relate different information in a spatial context and to reach a conclusion about this relationship. Most of the information we have about our world contains a location reference, placing that information at some point on the globe. This is done by using a location reference system, such as longitude and latitude, and perhaps elevation. (USGS 2006))" For example, if a commander wants to know the trending of movements of a particular insurgent group in Iraq, the intelligence gathered-strength, disposition, mobility and times of activity-can be input in the GIS and with another trend and analysis application, an analysis can be made on where they are going and how soon can they get there."

Abstract
This paper relates that the Treasury Department operates many different unique divisions such as contract and compliance, property management and construction, and purchase and property, as well as the taxation and lottery divisions which could all make positive use of a GIS system. The paper explains how the GIS system being targeted would rely on both custom designed and developed intranet/web browser technology as well as off the shelf products offered by 3rd party providers which can be customized based on application. The paper relates that the project is expected to exceed $300k in overall costs to implement, however this cost does not include ongoing service, maintenance, and overhead expense related to long-term operations.

Abstract
This proposal recommends a corporate philanthropy target to the CEO of an organization. The main purpose of the assignment is to broaden one's knowledge of the theory and practice of corporate philanthropy. This proposal proposes that a large food manufacturer develop a program to support Meals on Wheels, a nation-wide not-for profit organization for those who need it most.

From the Paper
"Friendly Foods, a maker of specialty meals garnering an excellent reputation for high-nutrition, would be ideally suited to establish a philanthropic program by partnering with Meals on Wheels, which provides sustenance for those who have trouble feeding themselves. Specifically, this means assisting Meals on Wheels in providing meals for the elderly and for people with special needs. Given that Friendly Foods prepares its meals in their Woodbridge, Ontario plant, partnering with Meals on Wheels to channel some of this food into the hands of volunteers and clients will..."

Abstract
This paper considers the ethics involved in a case study called "Reexamining a Proposal". The writer maintains that in writing the proposal, ethics should have played a role on several levels. The writer discusses that in reconsidering the issue, the PEO note a number of pragmatic concerns that others seem to be ignoring.

From the Paper
"In reconsidering the issue, the PEO note a number of pragmatic concerns that others seem to be ignoring, such as how charging too much might affect future business not only with David Jones but with others who would see this as a sign that the company could not be trusted or that it discriminated against minorities in spite of its claim to the contrary. This pragmatic consideration certainly pertains, and while David Jones seems perfectly happy now, that is largely because of his inexperience. Later, when he determines that he has been overcharged and that the ..."

Abstract
A discussion of satire and Jonathan Swift. This paper argues the modesty of 'A Modest Proposal?' It studies how irony works and the similarity to the arrogance of most colonizing races in this book and in the entire world. Finally it concludes that the proposal displays pretentious and idle pomp, through the use of witty ridicule, it is the iconoclast protest against the exploitation of the Irish by the English.

From the Paper
""A modest proposal", first published in 1729, is claimed to be one of Jonathan Swifts most drastic satirical pieces , where he suggests that Irish children be fed to wealthy English aristocracy. Swift immediately creates sombre and depressing surroundings caused by begging women and thieving children. From the first paragraph we imagine poverty and famine, which can only be escaped when one emigrates or turns into a professional thief. Before Swift makes the actual proposal, he overemphasizes this state of poverty and the effects it will have on society."

Abstract
The following research proposal is for a second year urban geography course. The topic of the proposal is gentrification in the Annex.

From the Paper
"For this assignment the phenomena of gentrification will be examined in detail. Gentrification is defined as, The Process of neighbourhood upgrading by relatively affluent incomers who move into a poorer neighbourhood in sufficient numbers to displace lower-income groups and transform its social identity (Pacione 670). Gentrification is occurring in many different cities including Toronto. However, gentrification takes different forms and proceeds at different rates in different neighbourhoods. This assignment will examine the Toronto neighbourhood known as the Annex in order to explore the nature of gentrification in this area. Secondary questions will focus on property values in the Annex and displacement issues."

Abstract
This paper is written in the format of a proposal for funding from a granting institution aimed to help 'black' school dropouts, delinquents and gang-involved youths that can serve paid interests. The proposed study is to be an inductive collection of data from adults whose children are among the sixty per cent who do not drop out of high school. Several critical dimensions of the proposed study are put forwards as significant to an accurate understanding of the 'dreaded' Jane Finch area.

From the Paper
"Media audiences are now familiar with depictions of youth gang incidents including fatalities and there is a strong tendency for scholars, activists, youth workers and others to refer to urban `black' youth as most affected. In fact, youth gangs are pan-ethnic phenomena whose members are by no means always of impoverished or otherwise disadvantaged backgrounds. Whereas much attention has been given to school dropout rates manifested in the generic `black' community in the Greater Toronto Area..."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer presents a proposal for marketing research within the soft drink industry. The writer maintains that the proposed research would involve a broad-spectrum historical study. The writer continues that this research is intended to analyse the overall dynamics of consumer beverage preferences. The writer concludes that such research is with the objective of identifying market segments most open to further growth.

From the Paper
"Consumer preferences in soft drinks or in non-alcoholic beverages in general are highly subjective and personal. However these preferences are not purely random or arbitrary, but conditioned by cultural attitudes. This is as true in the domestic market as in international markets. Consumers vary not only in their beverage preferences, but in how they respond to beverage marketing. This is well known, but common assumptions about the overall structure of the market often go unexamined and ..."

Abstract
This essay acts as a business proposal for a nonprofit social enterprise. The social enterprise in question is directly associated with the social goals of a nonprofit that works towards developing affordable and sustainable housing throughout the Third World and in the impoverished regions of First World nations. the paper shows that the social enterprise itself is an architectural consulting service that will provide sustainable direction and advice to individuals and businesses in the West.

From the Paper
"The role and importance of nonprofit corporations in the global marketplace is becoming increasingly important. Besides offering a number of services and employment venues otherwise unavailable, nonprofits also, in general, add social value to the marketplace by providing goods and services that society has deemed socially worthwhile, whatever the monetary, market value might be. If only for this reason, nonprofit corporations constitute an invaluable sector of the global marketplace. However, nonprofit corporations face significant problems, often stemming from financial subsidy."
