From the Paper
"When it comes to the stock market many Americans are confused about what it involves, how it works and what the different markets mean. Even those that invest their hard earned money into the stock market often turn to their broker for advice and leave it to that broker to handle it for them. Whether one is a serious investor, a hobbyist or planning on becoming a stock broker it is important to understand certain terms and elements about the market. One of the more interesting debates when it comes to the stock market is in deciding whether a bull or bear market has occurred. Analysts around the nation gather in front of historic records, examine current trends and with their most serious face pronounce a bull or bear market depending on how they have interpreted those elements."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the differences between the American economy of 1970 and today, when it compares the two ?secular? rather than a ?cyclical? bear markets. It illustrates the structural changes in the economy, and the possibility that problems with the nature of government or industry will curtail investment until the problems are resolved.
From the Paper
"A recent advertisement for a mutual fund featured a picture of a tricycle. The caption read, ?In 1973, our mutual fund managers were riding out a bear market. What was your mutual fund riding?? The point was well made ? many features of the 1973-1975 bear market resemble the woes of the current stock market. Analysts, keen on every new opportunity to convince investors that the worst is over, do so in their own interest. A good understanding of the last long-term recession is instrumental in gaining insight into where we will find the end of the current one. As such, it is important to remember this era in American history when evaluating potential courses of action either as an investor or as a business leader. However, the many differences between the economy of the 1970?s and today?s economy should temper our perspective."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes an historical look at what the framers of the U.S. Constitution meant regarding the right to keep and bear arms and looks at some of the controversial issues associated with this right. The paper then uses this information to present arguments favoring the right to bear arms. The paper also contrasts American policy on the right to bear arms with that of other countries and uses this contrast to further support the argument that American citizens should and do have the right to keep and bear arms.
From the Paper
"When the Constitution went up for ratification, there was much debate in state conventions and two opposing forces emerged. One of the sides was the Antifederalists, who were against the government having the power to dispossess individuals of their rights such as the right to keep and bear arms. The other side was the Federalists, who were desperately trying to have the Constitution ratified and maintain a centralized standing army. The Federalists guaranteed that people would be armed so that they could stop a tyrannical standing army. The Anti-federalists were concerned that people could be overwhelmed by the established standing army without one explicitly written right preserving the individual to keep and bear arms."

Abstract
This paper relates that Vanderhaeghe's own past is clearly an important factor in the themes that he explores as well as in the setting, plot and character elements of his stories. The paper discusses the character of Dieter, from "Dancing Bear", who is an old man that dreams of his younger self and the experiences he had with bears. The paper also shows how the social and literary contexts of the Canadian prairies in the second half of the twentieth century influenced Vanderhaeghe when he wrote "Dancing Bear".
From the Paper
"As someone who has lived in Saskatchewan for most of his life, Guy Vanderhaeghe is very adept at describing characters and scenes that evoke the Canadian prairies in the twentieth century. This knowledge of and pride in his home province is particularly evident in his short story, Dancing Bear. Vanderhaeghe's own past is clearly an important factor in his work, both in relation to the themes that he explores as well as in the setting, plot and character elements of these stories (Parker). Additionally, the social and literary contexts of the Canadian prairies in the second half of the 20th century have affected Dancing Bear specifically, and Vanderhaeghe's work in general."

Abstract
Often things that we experience as children impact the way we develop as adults. The paper shows that in Judith Minty's "Killing the Bear," a woman painfully comes to grips with a loss of security from her childhood. She combines the past and present, representing her great loss as a bear that she has come into contact with. The paper shows that in order for her to regain her security and power as an adult, she must defeat the bear, which is a symbol of her loss.
From the Paper
"Over time, the woman has developed an obsession with bears, both healthy and unhealthy. She gathers information about people honoring and worshiping the animal: the Gilyak tribe honors him, Ainus women suckle the cubs, in Lapland he was the King of Beasts. (91) Yet, she also collects stories which show the bear as a cold-blooded killer, and always with the use of its claws. In the travelogue about Alaska, "his claws stretched out like fingers" and "with the sweep of a paw, he split open the head of the other" (91)."

The Right to Bear Arms, 2007.
This paper claims that the right to bear arms is a constitutionally protected right.

Abstract
The paper discusses the controversy surrounding the interpretation of the Second Amendment's provision regarding the right to keep and bear arms. The paper explains how some posit that this refers to the people's collective right as a members of a well-regulated state militia, while others claim it refers to each individual's rights. This paper argues that the Second Amendment was designed not only to protect the militias; it was also intended to protect an individual's right to own and bear arms.
Outline:
Introduction
Historical Background
Constitutional Interpretation
"The Right of the People"
"To Keep and Bear Arms"
"A Well Regulated Militia, being Necessary to the Security of a Free State"
Challenges to the Second Amendment
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Today, the interpretation of the Second Amendment has polarized the American people among two different views (Greenslade, 2004). Those opposed to private ownership of firearms argue that there is no individual right to keep and bear arms because the Second Amendment refers to the people's collective right as a members of a well-regulated State militia. In contrast, the individual rights view holds that individuals may bring claims or raise challenges based on a violation of their rights under the Second Amendment just as they do to vindicate individual rights secured by other provisions of the Bill of Rights. This view appears to be the most valid after placing the Second Amendment in appropriate historical and Constitutional context."

Abstract
This nine page paper examines why global warming has become the primary threat facing polar bears. The writer looks at the Arctic polar bear population, which has been estimated to be approximately twenty-five thousand, of which about fifteen-thousand are in Canada, and has been impacted in a number of negative ways by climate change caused by air pollution. For example, the writer notes studies which have documented measurable effects in the body sizes and reproductive success of bears at Hudson's Bay and in other Arctic regions, and data that indicates that these changes are due to gradual climate change in the Arctic because of global warming.
From the Paper
"Based upon studies conducted over the last twenty years, many scientists have concluded that global warming has become the primary threat facing polar bears. The Arctic polar bear population, which has been estimated to be approximately twenty-five thousand, of which about fifteen-thousand are in Canada, has been impacted in a number of negative ways by climate change caused by air pollution. (Stirling 12) For example, studies have documented measurable effects in the body sizes and reproductive success of bears at Hudson's Bay and in other Arctic regions, and data indicates that these changes are due to gradual climate change in the Arctic because of global warming."

The Right to Bear Arms.
This paper discusses, based on the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, the "right to bear arms" issue.

Abstract
This paper explains that, today, the interpretation of the amendment has polarized the American people into two different views: (1) Those opposed to private ownership of firearms argue that there is no individual right to bear arms because the Second Amendment refers to the people's collective right as a members of a well-regulated State militia, and (2) those in favor hold that individuals may bring claims or raise challenges based on a violation of their rights under the Second Amendment. The author points out that the "rights of the people" means the rights of individuals; the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right, just as are all rights in the first ten amendments, the Bill of Rights. The paper relates that the phrase "keep arms" at the time of the writing of the United States Constitution usually indicated the private ownership and retention of arms by individuals as individuals, not the stockpiling of arms by a government or its soldiers.

"To Keep and Bear Arms"
"A Well Regulated Militia, Being Necessary to the Security of a Free State"
Conclusion
From the Paper
"When "right" is used together with "the people" the right must belong to individuals because people are not a State or the Militia. Evidence shows that the only truly "collective" use of the "the people" at the time of the Founding was to refer to the people as they existed apart from government or any service to it. For example, the Declaration of Independence refers to "one People" dissolving their political bonds with another and forming their own nation, and "We the people" created the Constitution in ratifying conventions chosen "by the People" of each State. Thus, when "the right of the people" appears in the Constitution, it indicates a personal right of individuals, whether that be a right to assemble and petition, to be secure in one's person and property, or to keep and bear arms."

"When the Thirteen Colonies declared their independence in 1776 they broke away from one of the most powerful nations in the world at the time, with the signing and ratification of the Bill of Right and the Constitution they brought forward a series of legal documents that were envisioned to provide for any instance and grievance they had felt under Great Britain. Moreover, the idea of removing themselves from any contact with Great Britain was to secure a free future from the tyranny of the Crown."

"Bears are animals that are found all over the world. No matter what the climate, you can find a species. Most bears have the same features; powerfully built bodies, long heads, short rounded ears, and small eyes (Grizmick?s Encyclopedia). Most bears also have five long toes with arched claws that are incredibly sharp. In this paper I have decided to discuss the three most predominant species. ? No other animal has made such a strong impression on the peoples of the Northern Hemisphere; as long as the lion was still unknown, the bear was considered to be the king of beasts.

From the Paper
"With this growth and expansion, expenses and finances started to become an issue. Prior to 1994, during the times of double digit growth and sales increases, there was little to be concerned about, but when sales did not meet with projected growth, the time came for the need of professional management. In 1995 Sortino stepped down from the Chief Executive Officer position and relinquished it to R. Patrick Burns. After turning VTBC around and showing a profit in 1996, Burn's changed the company in many ways by changing the name, shifting away from Bear-Gram in favor of retail outlets, and downsizing."
