Abstract
This manufacturing study will examine the evolution of the assembly line production used within the American automobile industry. By examining "Asphalt Nation" by Jane Holtz, one can realize how greater reliance on mass produced manufactured goods on the moving assembly greatly lowered demand for handcrafted items in specialized labor. In this manner, Holtz, defines the increasing reliance on automobile manufacturers to create cars through this process to give greater access for travel in the middle classes. The great industrial revolutions of England and those that occurred within America in the 19th century help one to realize how more customers could have access to certain products. In the case of the automobile, Henry Ford sought to make it possible to give every American a car.

Abstract
This movie explores the effects of globalization on the lives of both U.S. workers and the newly formed workforces in third world countries such as Mexico and the Philippines. It is compared to other movies which deal with unfair labor conditions - William Adler?s ?Mollie?s Job" and ?The Work of Nations?.
From the Paper
"The film illustrates the issues faced through stories of the destruction of a local community by a Barbie Doll factory in the Philippines; secret meetings of Filipino women trying to form a union; and a hunger strike by Mexican workers. The film pulls no punches and exposes the abuse of human and labor rights by showing military and police intervention used in situations where workers, in many different parts around the world, are organizing to fight the multinationals by attempting to unionize."

Global Assembly Line, 2002.
This paper explores the effects of globalization on the world focusing on the practice of First World companies outsourcing substantial amounts of labor to Third World workers.
2,965 words (approx. 11.9 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 87.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper defines the term "globalization" and shows why Third World workers are paid less than First World workers. The paper explains why globalization produces monopolies. It then describes how globalization and trade agreements reduce the rights of workers in poor countries and increase environmental degradation while at the same time raise the standard of living in the First World.
From the Paper
"Globalization has brought with it an ever-more-rapidly-increasing concentration of money (or capital) in the First World?s financial markets. This is the direct result of the fact that globalization has also brought with it increasing conglomeration of firms that were once separated by national barriers and that once competed with each other."

Plate Tectonics, Fault Lines and Fault Line Movement, 2006.
An analysis of how plate tectonics have and will affect the California coast.
2,275 words (approx. 9.1 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 70.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper studies how plate tectonics and fault line movement are impacting the shape of the California coastline. The paper begins with a discussion of how plate tectonics have changed the earth's surface, including through earthquakes. Then the paper turns to one of the most famous major fault lines, the San Andreas fault. The paper examines its historical, current and future influence on California, such as the major earthquakes of the 1800s and 1900s. The paper concludes with a discussion of other fault lines, including active and inactive ones.
From the Paper
"Plate tectonics is responsible for the building of mountain ranges, the separation of continents through creation of new crust when the seafloor spreads as new lithospheric material pushes out of rifts on the ocean floor, and for earthquakes and volcanic activity (including the creation of volcanic islands and mountain ranges). The regions where the action of plate tectonics is most discernible is where adjoining tectonic plates are most active: pressing into each other, sliding over or under each other, sliding past each other. This activity usually takes place at a geologic pace--that is, so slowly that it escapes the notice of short-lived creatures such as human beings. Humans are unlikely to see mountain ranges forming or continents drifting apart. When two great tectonic plates, such as the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, move relative to each other along the Pacific coast at an average rate of 2 inches a year, who would notice? But the these gigantic plates do not move only by drifting or creeping at such an imperceptible pace. As they mash into each other, portions of their adjoining edges get hung up or frozen in place for years at a time, even for centuries or thousands of years. The pressure on these junctures finally gives way as much larger movements which humans perceive (can hardly ignore!) as earthquakes."

Assembly Bill 2403, 2005.
A look at Assembly Bill 2403, introduced by Assembly Member Jackson, regarding the right to personal privacy.
1,647 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper, written as though it were a speech being delivered by the author, begins with a discussion of the notion of privacy and then takes a look at Assembly Bill 2403 and how it relates to an individual's right to privacy and the enforcement of that privacy. The paper explains how Assembly Bill 2403 differs from previous legislation that has come before it regarding an individual's right to privacy, and then looks at what the author perceives to be the inherent weaknesses of the bill, as well as some of its advantages.
From the Paper
"I have quoted almost this entire opening paragraph of the bill because I want to underline the fundamental difference between existing legislation in the privacy domain and this bill, with everything it brings new. As we can see, in order for an act to be considered a privacy invasion, the sexual intent OR the intent to invade one?s privacy needed to exist. In my opinion, both intents can only greatly limit the legislative area of applicability. Indeed, the intent to invade one?s privacy is rather ambiguous: in my opinion, this is rather hard to prove, because one can always say he had no intent to invade privacy. As for the sexual intent, this is also rather limiting, because it strictly mentions filming the body or the undergarments of another person. Thus, there are so many cases that will actually evade the law in question."

Psychological Affects of Domestic Violence on Children, 2002.
An examination of various studies which determine the possible psychological affects of domestic violence on children.
3,027 words (approx. 12.1 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 89.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper begins by providing statistics of how common domestic violence is in the home. In turn, the writer states that these high numbers expose an enormous number of children to affects of domestic violence. The paper discusses the various affects which range from developing violent tendencies themselves, low self-image, aggression in problem solving, behavioral problems and even suicide.
From the Paper
"In the area of psychological research there a thousands of pressing questions, yet among all those questions one rises to the top of the list. In the area of family psychology and family therapy the question of the psychological affects of domestic violence on children has been hotly debated and eternally researched, yet many questions remain unanswered. These questions are pressing as the institution of family in our culture evolves and emerges as an entirely different social dynamic than existed even twenty years ago. The psychological effects of violence, in the family upon children are vast and will probably always need further address. Many families garner a different definition as more and more family units are head primarily by one parent and many families combine to become families consisting of several members who are related only by law, rather than by genetics. These trends began many years ago but continue to change the face of the American family today and will no doubt continue to do so in the near and far future. In this proposed study the issues of the psychological effects of domestic violence upon children will be addressed through diligent research. The problem has been clearly assessed for at least the last ten years and possibly longer as more and more information about developmental psychology leads to clearer and clearer indications of causation between parental behavior and children?s behavior."

Lorain Assembly Plant, 2002.
A study of the Lorain assembly plant?s unique business relationship with the Ford Company.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the privately owned Lorain assembly plant's dependence on the Ford Company. It describes the changing auto industry and the need for the plant to produce a different Ford model. The paper discusses the financial loan options offered to the Lorain plant by Ford for reconstruction and start up of the new auto line.
From the Paper
"The Lorain Assembly Plant is privately owned. The Ford Motor Company owns 25% of is manufacturing facilities, the remainder are privately owned as is the case with the Loraine Assembly Plant (Ford.com, 2002). Because they are privately owned, it is not necessary to publish specific financial data for general public use. This information is considered company sensitive and was not available. Because the Lorain Assembly plant is a supplier for the Ford Company, accounting policies and practices must be consistent with those used by the Ford Motor Company. In addition, as a part of the contract with Lorain Assembly Plant, Ford Motor Company requires the right to audit the books at any time upon request. They are not, however, required to make the findings public, unless it affects the reported earnings of the Ford Motor Company. Publicly traded companies are required to file their financial statements with the SEC and must be audited by an independent auditor. These findings are required to be made public record."

Abstract
A problem/solution essay from the first person point of view dealing with the hardships of moving. It explains how one person is prepared to overcome the loneliness that is now a major part of their lives in order to regain a new sense of self.
From the Paper
"As red eyes continued to overflow with salty tears, so did the clouds continue to pour forth a ceaseless torrent of rain upon the ground, smashing straight as stair rods onto the soil, making it little more than a reflection of how I felt: damaged. Staring hopelessly out a small window, smudge marks not quite marring the depressing sight of dark forbidding clouds, I felt empty and alone. In order to relieve myself of boredom I had pulled my little address book off the shelf and started to read it. It contained the numbers and addresses of all the places and friends I had left behind when I had moved. Suddenly I realized that I would not be able to see my dear friends for a long time, and so clutching the tiny book tightly in my hands, firmly holding it against my chest, I wept. Having just moved, I knew no one but my family, and so I let tears flow at the dismal prospect of having to sit indoors alone, without a friend close by."

Abstract
This paper explains why Illinois General Assembly Bill HB0759 was proposed, who championed the bill and what changes have been made to this piece of legislation. The paper is of the opinion that this bill is an exemplary one insofar as it seeks to protect the most vulnerable members of Illinois society.
From the Paper
"Naturally enough, it is vital that any reader have a solid understanding of just what bill HB0759 entails. For one thing, the original bill, as introduced, amends the state Children and Family Services Act by providing that every eligible child with a diagnosis of a mental illness shall receive mental health services. More specifically, the bill calls for the state Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) to assess each mental health community network in the State to ascertain what needs to be done in order for each network to provide appropriate mental health services for vulnerable children. At the same time, the bill mandates that the Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) must submit a report detailing the department's assessment of the health community networks as well as a plan outlining the identified needs; this plan must be submitted to the Governor and to the General Assembly."

"Moving Violations", 2006.
An analysis and critique of John Hockenberry's memoir, "Moving Violations".

Abstract
This essay examines the memoir "Moving Violations," by John Hockenberry. The paper draws its critique from textual evidence, such as common themes and motifs in the book, in order to illuminate its premise that the book is a call for universalism. The paper calls the book, which chronicles the author's experiences as a paraplegic living in both America and the Middle East, an eye-opening tale of disability as a global issue. Arguing that Hockenberry's book is a statement of sameness, even in the face of difference, the paper maintains that Hockenberry wishes to convey through his own experiences that we all have much to learn from one another's differences. Ultimately, the paper concludes, Hockenberry's diverse life experiences have led him to advocate celebrating differences, providing equal opportunities and approaching limitations together as a community.
From the Paper
"We remember Hockenberry's view is that one is perceived to be weak in America if they are disabled. However, during the Palestinian uprising, one would take one glance at Radwan in his own country and just as people have many times assumed John Hockenberry was some kind of a war hero, one would assume the same of Radwan. In the Middle East, while it was considered weakness to be disabled in America, it was considered a kind of bravery and strength to be disabled in this region of the Middle East. It is evident in Hockenberry's account that many places in Israel are utterly inaccessible for wheelchairs. If the nation were all that mattered to people like Radwan, then it would not matter that his life is made to end in a single heroic act. But what about those to whom it does matter? Hockenberry states his belief that this is the wrong way to go about disability."

'Moving Chairs, and Why It's Cool' by Timothy J. King", 2006.
A review of timothy J. King's article 'Moving Chairs, and Why It's Cool'.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 1 source, $ 35.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this paper, King proposes healthy and communicative responses to management strata relationships that were successful within his own experiences. According to the paper, King's view is that the use of dialogues and meetings is a crucial for efficient production, which invariably offers a revolving leadership system through his is symbolic usage of moving chairs. However, more studies should be done to evaluate the real effectiveness of this form of leadership before one should confront the authority of middle and upper management.
From the Paper
J. Timothy King provides an article that is based upon the "moving chairs" of leadership within a small sized corporate atmosphere. The first premise of leadership is many things go unnoticed, especially when communicating a change in management policy. King is often portraying himself in the article as a subordinate that has to work with upper management through a review based initiative that is often erroneous. However, King brings the moving chair element into communicating with his superiors within the review process, which ultimately has him influencing how policy is made within the company. In this manner, King is subjectively redefining the hierarchical role of worker/manager by breaking down barriers through communication and regular meetings. "

Abstract
This paper explains that Australia is underpopulated as far as its size, but over two-thirds of the population resides in any one of the ten major cities on the coast, which makes Australia one of the most urbanized counties in the world. The author points out that, even though the national language in Australia is English, the accent, style of speaking, and parts of the traditional vocabulary greatly differ from American English and is slightly difficult to get a grasp of in the beginning. The paper lists many social customs: Hand shakes are a common way to greet someone, Australians are keen on answering their invitations at the first possible moment, and an invitation to a dinner, even by a friend or a peer, usually means separate checks.
