Abstract
This paper discusses the public policy regarding abortion in the United States. The paper describes the previous policy and its implications for society. It then describes how the policy has been changed and the benefits that the government hoped to achieve by introducing new legislation. The paper also discusses the effects of parental involvement on the rate of abortion.
From the Paper
"With the above discussion, we have reached the conclusion that parental involvement can work as a serious deterrent to abortion. This deterrent is required in order to promote other means of birth control. A minor engaging in sexual activity should be educated about the use of contraceptives so abortion is not seen as an alternative. Some important recommendations have also been made which are adequate backed by court rulings such as prohibiting the use of federal funds, physicians' notification to parents and court permission. All these methods along with parental involvement laws can significantly reduced the chances of a minor using abortion as alternative birth control method."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Latino community in the United States. It describes the size and origin of the community and then discusses the educational level and employment of the immigrants. The paper also looks at language barriers and how this impacts on the immigrants' assimilation into American society. The paper finally recommends ways to improve the economic and cultural problems faced by Latinos in America.
From the Paper
"All cultures in the United States have a right to equal and quality education. The country has boasted that it is the land of free and open opportunity to all. This should be recognized by schools throughout the country and an effort should be made not only by the rich, but also by the Latino community to empower itself in terms of desegregation. The most important in this is a shift in thought paradigm from oppressed to empowered. Families are to be educated towards a level that will no longer make language a barrier to education."
"In this way the Latino community can take part in the rich resources offered by the United States and its opportunities. Surely this, together with the many Latino community members who have made a great success of their lives, can serve as a motivator for upliftment, education, opportunity and freedom for all."

Termination Process, 2007.
This paper looks at the debate regarding total parenteral nutrition treatments.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that when there are patients receiving treatments or interventions that keep them alive, one may face the decision of whether to discontinue treatment. The writer offers the example of an adult male patient at the HIV Treatment Center on dialysis for acute renal failure and mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure. The writer notes that in this case the total parenteral nutrition (TPN) treatments are no longer of benefit, even though the patient's family wants them continued. The writer maintains that if life expectancy can be prolonged with additional chemotherapy, it may be reasonable to give TPN to allow the patient to enjoy that benefit. However, the writer concludes that in the case where additional chemotherapy offers no substantial increase in quantity or quality of life, TPN could become another burden for the patient without any meaningful benefit, and ought to be withheld.

Transference and Counter transference
Futility Judgments
Debating Cardiopulmonary Arrest and Resuscitation
From the Paper
"Transference and countertransference are both normal phenomena that may arise during the course of the therapeutic relationship. Transference is the tendency on the part of the patient to "transfer" past feelings, conflicts, and attitudes into situations, circumstances and present relationships. According to psychoanalytic theory, transference evolves from unresolved or unsatisfactory childhood experiences in relationships with parents or other important figures. From a behavioral orientation, patients may have developed habit-forming patterns in how they relate and interact with others. These habits involve development of attitudes and ideas based on the learning and retention of information from past relationships. The habits learned from past relationships may create behavioral and thought patterns in subsequent relationships, even though the actions and attitudes may be inappropriate for the current relationship. As caregivers have frequent contact with patients, the potential for caregivers to be objects of transference is significant."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the United Nations and the success of the organization in maintaining world peace. According to the paper, the United Nations has failed miserably. This paper traces the long and regrettable history of the United Nations' failure in furthering world peace, explains the reasons for its failure ,and makes suggestions for improvement.
From the Paper
"Moreover, the very structure of the United Nations was such that it almost guaranteed paralysis. UN Security Council was the organ that was entrusted with the task of maintaining peace and security among nations. Its five permanent members --the US, USSR, Britain, France, China--were given veto powers, which enabled them to void any Security Council resolution irrespective of the extent of general support on any issue . Such powers, especially in the Cold War environment, meant that the two major adversarial powers for the first forty years of the United Nation's existence would never let a UN resolution pass, which was perceived to be against their respective strategic interest."

Abstract
The paper imagines a future presentation about the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq. The paper discusses the graphic and disturbing images taken of prisoner abuse in the Abu Ghraib detention center in Baghdad and contends that there should be no censorship of these photos. The paper describes the hideously cruel and inhumane treatment being administered to Iraqi prisoners and Bush's allowance of illegal torture in contravention of the Geneva Convention. The paper also examines Congress' legislation against torture that was thwarted by Bush. The paper emphasizes the public's right to know and concludes that at a future exhibit, the photos of prisoners being abused at Abu Ghraib will speak for themselves - if they are allowed to be shown.
Outline:

Point 3
Point 4
From the Paper
"One day not too many years from now there will likely be a high-visibility exhibition / exposition - featuring illustrations, graphs, charts, photography, audio and video clips along with timely printed information - about the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq. This presentation will cover the intelligence data and political arguments that were offered by the executive branch in order to justify the military venture. Under the scrutiny of post-invasion empirical analysis the exposition will reflect precisely how those previous justifications held up. And it will cover the military and political ramifications of the entire operation."

Abstract
The paper uses the well known Zelman vs Simmons-Harris case to discuss the ways this case changed the public school choice debate.
The paper discusses the separation of church and state and the severing of the link between religion and public education. The paper looks at public education alternatives, such as charter schools, magnet schools and home schools and the reasons behind the implementation of a school voucher program. The paper reveals that the nation viewed the Zelman vs. Simmons-Harris case as the test to try the legal boundary between church and state. The paper provides a literature review on the details and ruling of this case.
Outline:
Introduction
Literature Review
From the Paper
"For many years, public schools have abided by the separation of church and state that has been held as a measurement of truth in government since the public school system began. Generational changes have taken place with each passing lifetime that have continued to move schools away from any hint of religious belief or preference."
"Whereas years ago students were taught to read and write using bible verses, and their school singing lessons came in the form of church hymns, those elements of public school were systematically removed until the nation was left with the system it has today, which for all intents and purposes there is no link between religion and public education."

Capital Punishment, 2007.
A discussion on the advantages of capital punishment.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the topic of capital punishment. Specifically, it discuss both sides of the capital punishment debate and argues why capital punishment is an excellent deterrent to crime. It looks at how the benefits of capital punishment far outweigh the drawbacks and how statistics indicate that the American public supports the death penalty for a majority of violent crimes. Thus, capital punishment is effective, saves tax dollars, and helps contain the most violent of America's criminal population.
From the Paper
"Capital punishment has been controversial throughout America history. Also referred to as the death penalty, the practice has always been a contentious and emotional issue. In the United States, disagreement over capital punishment began as early as Colonial times after America gained independence from Great Britain. Some people began to wonder if taking a human life was really justified, even by the government (Vila and Morris xxv), and the debate has raged on ever since. In fact, since the Supreme Court reinstituted the practice in 1976, the debate about capital punishment has become even more heated."

This paper identifies and discusses the root causes of terrorism.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that since the events of September 11, 2001 the reality and threat of international terrorism has increased. This threat has also extended to the danger of domestic terrorism, with the subsequent increase of security concerns within the United States and around the globe. The writer points out that the study of terrorism and the cause or causes of terrorist actions have therefore assumed a high profile in many disciplines, including the important area of international relations. The writer discusses that among the cardinal reasons for terrorist activities are perceptions of inequality and discrimination on economic as well as political and ethnic levels. The writer maintains that this is by no means the only cause of terrorism but many of the other causes can be derived or related to this basic concern.
From the Paper
"While the focus has generally been on ways and methods of preventing and fighting terrorism, there has been an increasing focus on the necessity to determine the underlying causative facets that motivate and precipitate terrorist actions. There is a growing realization that only through a clear understanding of these primary and fundamental causes can the specter of terrorism be practically reduced."
"However, the question of the causative factors of terrorism cannot be easily answered in any simplistic or definitive way. There are many complex variables and aspects that have to be considered in order to come to a fundamental assessment of the causes of these extreme actions. The facets that underlie and act as fundamental " triggers" of terrorist actions are often interrelated, so that there are in most cases a number of factors that combine to create the environment and the sense of justification for terrorist actions. The following is only a partial list of various possible causes of terrorism."

One of the most prevalent problems associated with leadership today is the problem of government corruption at every level of the spectrum. Corruption is not a problem that is unique to any one government, but often times depending on the resources at stake, such as conflict diamonds, becomes indicative of the corruption and level of the corruption associated with the resource."

Abstract
This paper presents an argument against abortion. The writer explores the moral and medical issues surrounding abortion. It presents both sides of the debate for and against abortion. The paper concludes by arguing that abortion should not be legal as each person is unique and that destroying a fetus is equivalent to destroying a life.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
The Debate
Argument against Abortion
Religious Reasons
From the Paper
"Abortions have been legal in America for more than 30 years and at the time they were legalized, strong arguments were presented about the lack of proper birth control and the stigma of having children out of wedlock, which culminated in the Supreme Court decision to let a woman choose. Today, however, birth control is so accurate that accidental pregnancies really cannot be considered accidents, and children born out of wedlock are not stigmatized in any manner.
Abortions should not be legal until the field of medical science can determine definitively when fetuses feel pain, have heartbeats and react to stimuli. It is only then that the world will know if they are causing tremendous suffering, fear and pain when an abortion is performed. Until then it is morally wrong to conduct abortions. It shows a total disregard for human life and the wonder and awe of its development."

Outline:
Introduction
Impact of Global Warming
The media and the Construction of Perceptions
Actions Taken to Address Global Warming
New Products and Methods
Future Outlook Related to Global Warming
From the Paper
"The findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change or IPCC are stark and shocking and have already impacted on contemporary social consciousness. The important aspect that needs to be emphasized is that, unlike previous reports and assertions about climate change, the present report by modern scientists have achieved a sense of legitimacy and finality about the present situating. There seems to be, in effect, less possibility that these findings are speculative or questionable. "
"The findings are severe and rigorous in their view that the impact of climate change is potentially life - threatening and could result in the demise of human civilization if it is allowed to continue unchecked."

The Cost of Illegal Immigration, 2007.
This paper looks at the increasing waves of illegal immigration; their cost to the country and their quality of life.
1,725 words (approx. 6.9 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 55.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the positions of two authors, Michael Scott and Richard Raynor, who have conflicting ideas on the cost of illegal immigration. The paper points out the power of the media who often present information on this topic in a biased and unfair way. The paper maintains that the United States is not upholding the principals of equality and justice that immigrants and all citizens deserve.
From the Paper
"Author Scott (2002) insists that the borders must be sealed and those that hire illegal aliens must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. He claims that there should not be any more silliness and discussion "...about how difficult this might be" because it could actually be done relatively easily, and would not be the problem that many make it out to be. Scott also does not agree with the idea that "[guest workers are needed because] Americans won't do the work that illegals perform" (Scott, 2002). He does not believe that this is the case, and thinks instead that the wages will simply rise to make sure that Americans are compensated for the work that they do, which they would need if the illegal immigrants were not in this country working for the lower wages."

Foreign Policy towards the Middle East, 2007.
This paper explains what must be the goals of the U.S. administration's future Middle Eastern policy.
1,247 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that the the goals of future U.S. Middle Eastern policy should be peace, the promise of a new United States image in the region, and greater independence from the nations that would cause harm. The writer then argues that the three main goals of the next administration should and must be to begin to bring the current conflict in Iraq to a successful or at least manageable political and diplomatic solution rather than a military conclusion, to facilitate new negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians and finally to reduce U.S. dependence on Middle Eastern oil. The writer concludes that diplomacy and acting multilaterally must be the goal, both of the U.S. policy in its phased withdrawal from Iraq and also in continuing to strive to broker an effective peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
From the Paper
"At present, Iraq is a failed state and American military policy is a failed policy. The Iraqi government cannot protect its people, deliver services, collect revenues, or administer its laws. Renegade Iraqi militias are the real legal powers. Embedding more U.S. troops will simply result in further U.S. causalities. A diplomatic solution is the only hope."
"The goal of the next administration must be to create a representational Iraqi government over the next four years that is able to exert control over its oil reserves, force the militias to transfer military power to the state regime, and enforce minority rights. In exchange for turning over arms there will be amnesty for all combatants, to avoid diverting important resources into show trials that will only further divide the nation, as did the trial and execution of the former dictator Saddam Hussein."

Cyber-Terrorism, 2007.
This paper looks at Cyber-terrorism's role in terrorism.
1,237 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that the term cyber-terrorism has developed as a result of the role of modern technology in the furtherance of national and international terrorism. The writer notes that al Qaeda appears to love the Internet and that there is a growing realization of the way that computers and the Internet are being used as another tool in the terrorist's arsenal. The writer concludes that there is little doubt that with the growth of the Internet and modern digital communications systems the threat of cyber-terrorism is one that is set to increase.
From the Paper
"It is usually the case that cyber-terrorists have political aims that motivate their crimes. In the information age the information that a terrorist may need to plan an attack on, for example, a power station is contained on government or private computers somewhere. Therefore the art of hacking or illegally gaining entry to restricted data via the Internet and computers has become one of the ways that cyber-terrorists operate. A good example of this was during the Gulf War in 1991 the Pentagon computer was hacked or illegally entered and secret material about the Patriot missile was stolen."
