Conclusion
From the Paper
"The state of the world in 1970 is a world far removed from the promise of the future set out less than a generation before by the victorious Allies after World War II. America, the globe's preeminent superpower, is wracked by civil rights conflicts and youth protests at home while an apparently intractable war proceeds in Vietnam. In the Middle East, the overwhelming victory of the Israelis over Arab nations in the 1967 war has yielded to division in the Arab world and the rise of the Palestinian liberation movement. In Europe various nations struggle with how to integrate themselves economically and politically, while centers of the great European empires of Britain and France suffer from a decline in their stature."

Abstract
This paper explains that the years from 1945 to 1970 witnessed the transformation of the world order, which had been characterized by the emergence of the nation-states of the 19th century and their imperialistic colonization of countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. The author points out that, after WWII, with the power of England, France and Germany destroyed, the U.S. was the only major power unscathed in its territory. The paper relates that, when the Soviet Union tested its first atomic bomb and imposed its constricting net over Eastern Europe, the two super powers aggressively opposed each other on either side of the Cold War. The author concludes that the state of the world in 1970 found a radically altered American society where, for the first time in its history, its Vietnam War policy was politicized and polarized.
From the Paper
"It is possible and perhaps necessary to view this strategic impasse less as a function of monolithic state policy than as actions motivated and implemented by government sectors, interest groups, or ministries. The arms race, with its high stakes in profits, needed a protagonist and an adversary; certain elements within the burgeoning military-industrial context also benefited quite well from the ostensibly anti-U.S. policy of Charles de Gaulle who "suspended military assistance to Israel" leaving the U.S. to become Israel's main arms supplier."

From the Paper
"There are still a lot of legislative gaps in Kosovo's Civil Servant Law, such as the lack of a unified salary system. The maximum period of an employment contract, according to its regulations is three years, without any specifications for further extension(Stabilization and Association Report, p.54). A trend towards politicization of the civil servants can be observed. Structures such as the Independent Oversight Board and the joint UNMIK-PISG Steering Board on Public Administration were established to act against and prevent such kinds of corruption".

The Current Economic Situation, 2002.
This paper discusses the current U.S. economic situation that defies customary, conventional suppositions of recession and boom.

Abstract
The paper states that at the core of economics is the study of human behavior in producing, distributing and consuming material goods and services in a world of scarce resources. The author feels that the United States must face the current economic situation with an eye to the scarcity of resources it possesses and the fact that no decision occurs without a component cost. The author underscores the fact that current common economic indicators, which do not perfectly obey the textbook definition of stasis, boom or recession, only exacerbates the sense of indecision around how to manage this current situation.
From the Paper
"The United States is currently in the grips of an economic situation that defies customary, conventional suppositions of recession and boom. The stock market is on shaky ground, having weathered one of the most crushing crashes over the past two years in recent memory, as well as a constant state of economic uncertainty in its technological sector. The market swings up for several weeks then back down again. Consumer confidence is down, even though the unemployment rate is above recession levels. Retirement funds are in jeopardy, yet the economy itself does not seem to be contracting. The United States government is facing a budgetary crisis, yet it also must budget for war. It wishes to lower income taxes to stimulate the economy, yet not face an overwhelming deficit."

Abstract
This paper explains that experts around the world are warning of a serious and possible deadly world water crisis in the future if serious efforts are not undertaken to deal with it today. The author points out that the problems in Mexico have several facets: distribution, sanitation, earthquake damage, and the draining off of water from Mexico by Texas farmlands without paying for it. The paper concludes that, whether it is converting saltwater to fresh water, removing contamination from water sources, regulating the sale and cost of available water, or a combination of all efforts, the next few decades will be the determining factor in the fate of the world through the decisions made today regarding water.

In Summary
From the Paper
"Measures are currently underway to change the water industry in Mexico. One of the things that is being discussed is the charging of agricultural business for the purpose of supporting the industry. Texas, which is in the United States draws much of its farmland water from Mexico supplies. Add to this the fact that Mexico is in an extremely dry climate and must use significant water to grow its own food supply and it is evident that agricultural businesses are contributing to the depletion of the water supply. Current legislation is moving through the process to begin charging these companies for the water that they are using for their food production."

Nursing Situation, 2005.
This paper discusses the ideas of two theorists, Leininger and Watson, with regards to nursing care.
2,700 words (approx. 10.8 pages), 4 sources, $ 106.95
»

Abstract
This paper consists of a comparison and contrast of two theorists as they care for one patient. An evaluation of the two approaches is also made. The central difference between the two theorists is that, while Leininger believes that every nursing situation is a transcultural encounter, Watson regards the nursing situation as a transpersonal and caring moment.
From the Paper
"Watson's theory is grounded in a belief in the person as a holistic, interactive being, and emphasizes the spiritual dimension of nursing. One of Watson's major assumptions is that "caring is the essence of nursing and the most central and unifying focus for nursing practice". Leininger holds the very similar position that caring is the central focus of nursing. For Watson, the transpersonal caring relationship with its goal of healing through shifting consciousness is the central point of her theory."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the case of a young patient who received a heart-lung transplant.

The paper discusses the facts of the situation in more depth and analyzes the ethical medical issues that were involved.
Table of Contents:
Relevant Information
Ethical Problem Statement
Identification of Ethical Issues
Selection of Ethical Framework
Analysis and Justification
Counterarguments
Action to be Taken
Completion and Evaluation of Action
From the Paper
"There are other ways of looking at the situation and so counterarguments could be made. The first counterargument likely to be made is that the physicians and facility made an error and caused the condition of the patient. Therefore, they have a responsibility to restore the condition of the patient. This may be a valid argument if the patient is considered in isolation. However, the nature of the demand for transplant organs means that the patient is not the only consideration. Giving the patient a second set of organs means that another person does not receive them. With thousands of people dying because they do not receive a transplant in time, it is not valid to focus only on the patient while ignoring the bigger picture."

"Introduction
Technological innovation and changes in economic systems throughout the world have resulted in debt becoming a staple of economic life at nearly every level of the world's economies. Individual debt in the United States, for example, has reached levels which cause concern among some analysts. Companies regularly weigh the advantages of financing through debt or equity issues. Entire countries take on debt to finance infrastructure growth, or merely to meet more fundamental obligations. Whether experienced at the macroeconomic level or microeconomic level, debt can carry with it considerable problems. Any borrower, whether an individual, company or nation, must repay not only the principal (the amount borrowed), but also the interest that accrues. In some debt situations, the borrower is able to repay .."

Assessment of Saudi Arabia's Security Situation, 2005.
Examines the geopolitical threats confronting Saudi Arabia at the turn of the new millennium.

Abstract
Saudi Arabian national security has largely been protected by both its religious/political and economic global status. However, as matters presently stand, both religion and the economy are acting as a severe security threat to the Kingdom and the status of the Al Saud family within it. This paper shows that the political governance of Al Saud and prior security measures undertaken by them have inflamed religious opposition and given rise to the accusation that the government has failed to protect the holy lands, while the failure to diversify economically, together with unsustainable expenditure, functions as a significant economic security threat. This paper shows, therefore, that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia faces two security threats, political-religious and economic in nature.
From the Paper
"In addition to the religious political terrorist threat which Saudi Arabia confronts and which has changed the nature of its prior security concerns, Saudi Arabia also faces an economic threat. That threat is its dependence on oil. This, initially may sound paradoxical because the kingdom's oil wealth has acted to enhance its security, whether through upgrading the living standards of the populace, thereby attaining support for the regime, or by motivating foreign powers to come to the aid of the kingdom when it is threatened, such as in 1991. However, the fact is that the overdependence upon oil is a security threat because, as Al-Jazzar correctly argues, it means that our economy is both weak and easy to topple, or destroy."

From the Paper
"In the 19th and 20th centuries, the role of the emperor of Japan has gone through a change from the way the imperial ruler was originally developed, and after World War II the greatest change of all was brought about by the new constitution imposed by the American Occupation. The Meiji period in the 19th century was the beginning of the rapid development of economic life in Japan, a period of modernization and of the emergence of new elites based on expertise and technical knowledge. The Revolution of 1868 was a restoration to power of the Imperial dynasty, leading to the Meiji period lasting into this century. The leaders of the Restoration were young samurai of the great western fiefs who became a self-perpetuating oligarchy more influential in the Meiji government than the Emperor himself. They were united in their..."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts how the US and France deal with Saddam Hussein. The author states each nation's opinion and then gives the reasoning behind each one, taking into account the different views and influences of race, culture, gender and disabled people.
From the Paper
"Since the Gulf War, Iraq has been struggling to overthrow the sanctions placed upon it by the United Nations. Iraq's leader Saddam Hussein has continually pushed his limits and has tried to deny access to U.N. weapon inspectors, in addition to violating the no fly zone and lining up troops on the border of Kuwait. Every time Saddam defies the will of the United Nations, the question arises: How are we going to stop Saddam Hussein for good, and how far are we willing to go?"
