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."

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."

The Affects of the Moving Assembly Line on American Society, 2006.
A look at how the moving assembly line used by the automotive industry had a significant impact on American society.

Click here to show/hide summary
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.

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."

Click here to show/hide summary
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."

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."

This paper discusses the proposed California Assembly Bill 1914, which tries to address the problem of reintegration into society of former prison inmates.

Abstract
This paper explains that the proposed California Assembly Bill 1914 attempts to establish ways and methods to educate properly inmates and increase their chances of successfully fulfilling the requirements of life outside prison. The author points out that the present California prison system is based solely on punishment, while rehabilitation and education play an insignificant role. The paper stresses that the purpose of a judicial system should be the active correction and reintegration into society of the inmates and not the simple, medieval, retributive reaction against the individual; nonetheless, state-funded education for the inmates can result in not only a reduction of recidivism, but also in economic growth through the increased labor volume provided by former inmates.
From the Paper
"The bill intends to create a committee to develop and implement a plan for providing educational services for inmates, including counseling and placement, to give the inmates the opportunity to obtain the equivalent of a high school-diploma or even to provide college-level academic programs, if the inmate shows the potential and is willing to pay for the program. The bill would also set forth goals and objectives for the committee, including ensuring that correctional education programs provide 9th grade literacy skills and marketable vocational skills, evaluating the effectiveness of the educational programs by developing a mechanism to test offenders for academic achievement and developing a five-year comprehensive plan for a unified correctional school system."

Minimum Wage Bill, 2007.
An analysis on bill H.R.5970, based on a USA Today article, "Senate Rejects GOP Estate Tax, Minimum Wage Bill."
958 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 34.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the Senate recently voted down a bill that would have raised minimum wage but would have also lowered estate taxes. The paper examines how, by linking two oppositional tax-related issues, the bill, H.R.5970, polarized the Senate along party lines. The paper explores how an estate tax cut favors the wealthiest Americans who own multi-million dollar estates, whereas the minimum wage hike would directly affect the working poor. The paper concludes that most of the Senate's Republicans favored the bill because of the estate tax cut implications, whereas most Democrats would have favored the bill only if it focused exclusively on raising the minimum wage.
From the Paper
"Democrats oppose an estate tax cut in part for the same reasons they favor a minimum wage increase. Estate tax revenues can potentially be huge: capital gains taxes currently run about 15%. Yet only the wealthiest Americans benefit from estate tax cuts and Americans who would qualify are in the vast minority. The vast majority of Americans, on the other hand, might benefit from an increase in minimum wages. Only the tiniest percentage of Americans own multi-million dollar estates while a substantial portion of Americans earn close to the minimum wage."

Arguments For and Against Patients' Bill of Rights
History of the Patients' Bill of Rights
Why the Patients' Bill of Rights has Failed
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Before exploring the more complex issues involved, it is necessary to understand the general intentions of the Patients' Bill of Rights. Numerous bills involving patients' rights have been presented to the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Discussed in this paper are the most pertinent bills specific to the Patients' Bill of Rights: the 1998 Patients' Bill of Rights, H.R. 3605 and S. 1890; the Bipartisan Patient Protection Act of 2001, S. 1052, S. 872, and H.R. 526; and the 2005 Patients' Bill of Rights, H.R. 2259, H.R. 2650, and S. 1012. In general, federal legislation that safeguards patients' rights is supported by both major political parties and the President, and also has considerable public appeal (Chavez, 2001, 606; Chaddock, 2001, 1)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the life of Bill Gates, founder and chairman of Microsoft. It details his young adult life and how he came to create a new computer operating system. Further, how he built the Microsoft empire and changed technology, business, and society. It also briefly examines a few of the legal cases against Microsoft.
From the paper:
"William or ?Bill? H. Gates III is chief executive and co-founder of the largest software company in the world, the Microsoft Corporation. Last year, Microsoft made a $953 million dollar profit on sales of $3.75 billion dollars. As Microsoft's largest stockholder, Bill Gates is worth nearly $6.1 billion, making him this country's second wealthiest man. He is at thirty-eight years old, America?s youngest self-made billionaire. Microsoft's $25 billion market value tops that of Ford, General Motors, 3M, Boeing, RJR Nabisco, General Mills, Anheuser-Busch or Eastman Kodak. (Resin ?The Bill Gates Interview?) This paper will attempt to analyze the character of Bill Gates, explain the nature of the corporation he created, and explicate some of the difficulties he and his corporation have faced economically and personally. It will suggest that although Gates has done many controversial things throughout his life as both a man and as chief executive of Microsoft, the overall effects he has had upon the country and upon the computer industry have been positive ones."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the U.S. Bill of Rights. According to the paper, the Bill of Rights defines procedural rights added to the Constitution. The paper discusses how, under the Fourth Amendment, individual's are protected against unreasonable search and seizures without probable cause. The paper goes on to say that the Fifth Amendment ensures due process, and prohibits self-incrimination and double jeopardy, fair compensation for private property taken by the government and indictment by grand jury. The paper also reviews the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Amendments.
Outline:
Introduction
Fourth Amendment
Fifth Amendment
Sixth Amendment
Seventh Amendment
Eighth Amendment
Modifying the Eighth Amendment
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Upon founding a new country, we would insist that this right be kept. It is necessary for there to be a system that embraces due process. A speedy and public trial will ensure that the accused doen not spend an unreasonable time in jail prior to trial. This could be considered torture, especially if the accused is innocent."
"The Sixth Amendment is a right that allows for all people to be considered equal under that law until proven otherwise. When determining whether to take a man or a woman's right to life and liberty, there has to be a strict standard that is followed to ensure that those rights are not taken away unnecessarily."
