Abstract
This paper provides a comparative analysis of the Academy Awards and MTV-MA as award-giving bodies. The paper posits that both award-giving bodies have similarities and differences that arise from the culture, audience, commercial value and socio-political relevance of the movies and processes that each award-giving body undergoes. The paper in general attributes specific segments of American culture as the primary driver that distinguishes the Oscars from the MTV-MA.
From the Paper
"These award-giving programs have their own niche and place at the spectrum of American entertainment. The Academy Awards' image differs radically from the MTV Movie Awards, though both programs enjoy popularity and renown not only in the entertainment business, but more specifically because of their influence in American culture. The Academy Awards' (referred to from now on as the Oscars) and MTV-MA's (MTV Movie Awards) importance is based, then, on their relevance to the entertainment business and the general public (as the audience and patrons of the entertainment business)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how perseverance is what motivates a person to keep trying after being defeated over and over again. It covers the stories of Winston Churchill, Barack Obama, and Dan Millman in demonstrating how perseverance enabled them to achieve their goals. The writer also includes his own personal experience with persevering and discusses what it means to him.
From the Paper
"People who have lived through events requiring perseverance can always voice their opinions or feelings on what it is and why it is important. Some of the most important historical figures in the 19th and 20th centuries have things to say which will be remembered for eternity. The historically famous American general Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Allied commander of the Pacific during World War II, said "Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul" (qtd. In ThinkExist.com). While the passing of time makes the human body weaker and frailer after a while, quitting something can destroy someone's soul and the will to go on. MacArthur most likely realized giving up was not an option in his battles against the Japanese. Winston Churchill, one of the most magnanimous and praised world leaders in history also felt what MacArthur experienced. "

"Giving Things Names", 2004.
A brief analysis of S.I. and Alan Hayakawa's book, "Giving Things Names."
858 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In "Giving Things Names", S.I. and Alan Hayakawa argue that the words that we use to classify things originate in our reactions to them, but that these classifications can also act to define our understanding. The paper explains how they carefully develop their thesis by using examples and move from the general to the specific in order to create a logical basis for their potentially controversial discussion of 'race', 'nationality', and classification.
From the Paper
"Hayakawa and Hayakawa take a number of carefully reasoned steps in order to develop their thesis. First, they use a relatively simple example to illustrate how things come to be named based upon what they mean to us. They give the example of a village where a number of animals live. These animals are either large or small, and have round or square heads, or curly or straight tails. One villager notices the small animals eat grain, and names these animals gogo. Another villager notes that the ones with square heads bite, and names these daba, while a third villager notes that the ones with curly tails kill snakes, and names these busa (paragraph 2). Here, each animal is named based on what it means to the person who named it."

Abstract
The paper discusses the closing of multinational companies in favour of China, India or another country where labour costs are low, setting a trend of eroding manufacturing across America. The paper explores whether the trend is to the ultimate benefit or detriment of the American economy. The paper looks at Lou Dobbs' opinions in his book "Exporting America: Why Corporate Greed is Shipping American Jobs Overseas" and discusses the movement against "exporting America". The paper concludes that American economists foresee the globalization trend as inevitable with the developing giants gaining at the expense of America.
From the Paper
"Many believe the globalization phenomenon is much more of a threat to America than a positive step. The most common example brought up to demonstrate this fact is the closing of multinational companies in favour of setting up shop in China, India, or another country where labour costs are stunningly low. Other critics cite the increasing number of imports from China to America, giving the giant nation a growing edge on the American economy. In fact, one must remember that although China is a developing country, it is the fourth largest economy in the world and is now also the world's fastest growing economy. India, too, traditionally a developing nation, is seeing a sudden surge in economic growth owing to the American trend of outsourcing jobs."

Giving Voice to the Oppressed of Society, 2008.

1,616 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 52.95

Abstract
This paper reviews five reasons why dispossessed and oppressed individuals should have a voice in society. Specifically, the paper looks at the social costs that attend failing to pay attention to the needs of these individuals and at the poor public policy that flows from ignoring the dispossessed. Finally, the paper explores the ethical and moral issues that come with overlooking the less-fortunate and considers the impact upon the reputation of a society if it fails to offer social justice in its own land while hectoring others abroad about their human rights record.
From the Paper
"At the level of the individual, the costs associated with not heeding the voices of the down-trodden can be very grim, indeed. For one thing, people who struggle with their sense of self and who lack a strong sense of self-empowerment are people who are much more susceptible to thoughts of suicide (Martin, 2006). At the same time, people who feel as though they cannot change their lives for the better - in no small measure because no one seems to care what they think - are people who are very much likely to fall prey to mental illness - such as depression (Laitinen et al, 2006). Thus, there are compelling reasons why, at the level of the individual, people need to be given a sense that they are not viewed as ciphers by others and that their needs will be accepted as genuine."

Malpractice Awards, 2004.
An argument as to why there should be no cap on medical malpractice awards.

Abstract
This paper presents an argument against capping medical malpractice awards. The paper discusses several reasons why capping awards should not be adopted as public policy, contending that capping limits injured patients' access to justice.
From the Paper
"Capping medical-malpractice awards should not be adopted as public policy. It would be grossly inappropriate for several reasons. The much-discussed crisis in medical care that doctors and insurers attribute to malpractice litigation is misdirected and can be traced to other causes. The idea that malpractice awards are out of control and are increasing all the time is simply wrong and cannot be sustained by the facts which suggests that attempts to cap award amounts for punitive damages are being made in bad

From the Paper
"This is the first of the three distinct groups. There are only a total of nine judges that oversee the entire process of administering the award. They must also help with the selecting examiners, review the scored applications, selecting the organizations to visit, and reviewing the results of the visit (Wadworth, p.109). Once that process is completed, they can select the organization to recommend for the Malcolm Baldrige Award. The judges are involved in the oversight of the entire process, but they do not actually get involved with the process until the many hours of work by the examiners are completed. Then it is left up to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to make the final decision for the award after further background evaluations of the recommended organizations have been completed."
