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."

"THE ABORTION DILEMMA
I. WHY WOULD A WOMAN CHOOSE ABORTION?
"Abortion is by all accounts the most difficult public-policy issue in contemporary America." (Callahan 1984 2) Perhaps not since the vituperative Civil Rights movement in the 1950s and '60s, when ideology turned ugly and caused deaths and injury, has any subject been as vehemently argued as the issue of Abortion. This issue is neither academic nor even, perhaps, objective. Yet, most people favor abortion in certain circumstances: "The Yankelovich et al poll of women over 18, commissioned by LIFE Magazine, showed that 67% of the total sample believed that abortion should be legal" (Callahan 1884 6). A woman faced with an unwanted pregnancy generally understands at some visceral level that there is human life ..."

Abstract
This paper examines various aspects of abortion and abortion law such as social and ethical concerns as well as the law, and more specifically concerned to that of women's rights.
From the paper:
"While medical science is making abortion much safer for the woman, the debates and the legal battles continue unabated. In the United States, the battles rage in the courts, the Congress and state legislatures. There have even been violent confrontations in the clinics where abortions are performed. There are people in favor of giving the woman the right to abort, and people who are not prepared to allow abortion except when it puts the life of the mother in danger. In between these two extreme positions, we have people taking intermediate positions."

Public Interest or Public Best Interest, 2002.
A study of the topic of what is the 'best public interest' compared to 'public interest' and the role of the public administrator.
1,810 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 58.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper shows the difficulty the public administrator is faced with when deciding what is the ?public interest? or ?public best interest? and that sometimes the administrator has to make decisions based on the community ?best? interests or the ?objective control of administration?. Sections of the paper include: Pluralists and the Public Administrator, The Public as Consumers, The Public as Represented, The Public as Client and the Public as Citizen.
From the Paper
"Other examples can be commercials. If a child sees cereal with a toy in it, he/she will beg and cry until the mother buys the cereal. The mother may know this is not the ?best interest? of the child because it lacks important vitamins or may be full of sugar. The commercial has placed value on knowing children will see the commercial and will talk their parents into buying it. The interest of the children is met, but not the ?best? interest of the children."

The Shift from ?Old Public Administration? to ?New Public Management', 2002.
This in-depth paper seeks to clarify, thoroughly explain and critically debate the idea as to whether there is a shift from old styles of Public Administration to new styles under the name New Public Management (NPM).

Abstract
The main tenets of NPM are explored and their application to the U.S., New Zealand, and the U.K. is documented. The application of the NPM to developing countries of Africa, Latin America, South East Asia and the Anglophone Caribbean is also evaluated for their strengths and weaknesses.
From the Paper
"Like the Traditional bureaucracy, the New Public Management approach is yet another ?problem-solving tool? in the schema of public administration, that has emerged with a style of ordering the delivery of public goods and services, however, with a different method in mind. In discussing the so-called ?shift? from Old or Traditional forms of Public Administration, or as some such as Christopher Hood term it, Progressive Public Administration, quite a number of circumstances, situations, contexts as well as a variety of explanations should be proffered and assessed. One needs to critically examine the concept of a shift to New Public Management. The term ?shift?, if one is not careful, could indicate a sharp distinction in the change from Old to New styles of Public Management, or a leap from one paradigm to the other excluding essential features of the old, by replacing such features of the old with the new. This is certainly not the case. It should be noted tentatively, that New Public Management, as Hood, Patrick Dunleavy and others will later confirm, not only exists alongside other aspects of the traditional Model, but also that other features of other ?Intermediate Models? such as those of the Management, Comparative Development and the influences of earlier Market Models, still persist alongside NPM."

Public Space and the Public Individual, 2002.
A review of the book "Writing/Interviews" by the artist Richard Serra.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay is a review artist Richard Serra's (1994) book, "Writing/Interviews". At the heart of the book is a broad social question about the identity of the public, and the location of public space. This essay considers the political conflicts that emerge in relation to Serra's destroyed public installation, "Tilted Arc." This controversy works as a profound metaphor that concerns the relationship between the public and the institutions that design space for the public. It is a question of ownership and basic issues of freedom, and how these are woven into the social structures that organize public movement and perspective.

From the Paper
" The purpose of this research is to review the book by Nicholas Henry, entitled Public Administration and Public Affairs (1995). This review will analyze the central themes of the work and address its strengths and weaknesses.
Henry begins by explaining the role of public bureaucracy and public administration in democratic society. He notes that bureaucracy and democracy are in fact antithetical. Bureaucracy tends to be hierarchical in nature and elitist. Democracy, on the other hand, tends to be egalitarian in nature. But in order for a democratic society to function properly, the bureaucracy and democracy must be reconciled (p. 1). Bureaucracy represents the technological elite, the body of persons skilled in how to get things done. The democratic mass is charged with determining the direction of public policy, but it is the skilled.."

From the Paper
"INTRODUCTION
The debate over the need to reorganize government and how best to accomplish that has been raging in academic and public administration circles for some time, but the debate has become a national and very public issue first because of the considerable dissatisfaction expressed in recent years on the part of much of the public with their public institutions and leaders and second because of the present effort by the Clinton Administration to do something about it. With the announcement early in September of Vice-President Gore's analysis of the issue and his recommendations for change, the debate is likely to become more heated in the months to come. One complaint has been that government is inefficient, especially when compared with the ..."

The author describes her background and interest in languages and the translation process as well as her special interest in the translation of technical language. The author also explains why she is a qualified applicant for the university.
From the Paper
"The art and craft of translation is my passion, and how the multitudes of the languages I speak and seek to perfect can be merged into the communications field shall become the passion of my future. I have longed love the translation process involved in translating one foreign language into another. My native language is Italian, but I am also well versed in English and Spanish. My degree thesis was entitled "The Casebook of Forensic Detection," under the supervision of Professor Adriana Bisirri. It was a work of scientific translation, but I tried to make it one of literary merit as well as clinical accuracy, under the watchful eye of Professor Bisirri."

Abortion, 2008.
An analysis of federal policy issues and the public's impact on abortion laws.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the debate over abortion. It describes the arguments of the pro-life and pro-choice groups and then discusses the federal policy issues and the public's impact on abortion laws. The paper analyzes the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision in "Roe v. Wade" and discusses the impact of the decision for women's rights in terms of abortion.
From the Paper
"For them, the pro-choice argument that a fetus in a mother's womb is not really human until it develops consciousness and is physically capable of surviving on its own is valid on both logical and moral grounds. Despite their importance, it is not simply a matter of personal rights of freedom, it is a matter of reaching a rational conclusion based upon the evidence available from medical science. (Tribe 155-156)"
"But this logic is rejected by pro-life advocates in the federal government and the public, for they insist that life has to begin before birth. In their view, the development of fetuses past conception is evolutionary and is manifested by a gradual change, not by an ambiguous and indefinable instant in the second trimester when life is achieved. Because of this gradual development of a human fetus, life must be recognized as beginning upon conception, for this is a definable moment of massive and total change, when a sperm and an egg become a miniature, living human being. (Baird 195-197)"

Population Policy in China, 2006.
A look at China's policy on population control and various other Chinese government policies that impinge on human rights and therefore impede greater economic ties between China and the West.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses population policy in China over the last fifty years with an emphasis on the one child policy instituted in the 1970s that has greatly reduced the growth rate in the population. As China seeks more and more economic ties to the West the policy of reduced family size and at times forced abortions is a public relations problem, much like child labor, prison labor and similar centrally controlled policies that run afoul of human rights.
From the Paper
"Population policies in the People's Republic of China reflect a real concern about population growth and the huge size of the population but are, at the same time, bound with issues of ideology and social control. Certain highly restrictive policies began in the 1970s and were deemed successful at reducing the size of the population, and especially the rural population. As China seeks more and more economic ties to the West, the policy of reduced family size and at times forced abortions is a public relations problem, much like child labor, prison labor, and similar centrally-controlled policies that run afoul of human rights."

A Rational Consideration of the Permissibility of Abortion, 2008.
A discussion of the permissibility of abortion based on a comparative analysis of Dan Marquis' essay "An Argument that Abortion is Wrong" and Judith Thomson's essay "A Defense of Abortion".

Abstract
This paper analyzes two essays from Julian Cole's "Readings on the Ethics of Abortion" regarding the controversy over the permissibility of abortion. The first is Dan Marquis' "An Argument that Abortion is Wrong",
which attempts to make a unique argument against abortion which removes the prickly, and in many ways impossible to settle, contrast between those who view it as morally wrong and those who believe that it is a right protected by natural law. The second is Judith Thomson's "A Defense of Abortion", which, according to the paper, helps to discern the flaws in Marquis' approach while providing a justification for proliferation of abortion rights. Contrary to Marquis, Thomson attacks head-on the fundamental question at the heart of the debate, which is the definition of life. In both articles, there is a shared attempt to remove the difficult and prejudicial moral elements of the abortion controversy. To conclude, the paper maintains that, in more cases than not, a responsible societal administration of abortion rights must be seen as a permissible exercise of human rights.
From the Paper
"In his article, "An Argument that Abortion is Wrong," Dan Marquis crafts a case which he claims has no basis in religion. (Cole, 6) It is upon this claim that he attempts to make a unique argument against abortion which removes the prickly, and in many ways impossible to settle, contrast between those who view it as morally wrong and those who believe that it is a right protected by natural law. The reason for his claimed withdrawal from the traditionally religious notion of abortion as being a violation of the universal right to life is its inherently divisive nature. Here, we find that the pro-life advocate is seeking to enter the argument without falling prey to its usually impenetrable morass of subjective ideas."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Abortion has been an issue in China as in the West, and the way it has been viewed has changed over the years since the People's Republic of China first came into being in 1949. The leadership at first viewed a large population as an asset and indeed as a must, but such a large population involves many difficulties and liabilities which became apparent over the years, contributing to a shift to a policy including birth control and more liberalized abortion policies. The government became so committed to a policy of reduced population that it created a social policy of one child per family and has even been accused of enforcing this policy to the degree of forcing abortions on pregnant women in some regions. An analysis of the birth control and abortion policies in China will indicate..."
