Abstract
The author contends that in the Iraqi situation, death and destruction have occurred needlessly. For this reason, the author invites listeners to an anti-war rally to bring the troops home from Iraq now and to protest further U.S. involvement in Iraq. The author's speech includes why he/she believes the war in Iraq is without merit and why it cannot possibly meet its stated objectives.
From the Paper
"In March 2003, George W. Bush, the president of the United States, and Tony Blair, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, demanded that Saddam Hussein and his family leave Iraq (Rourke 138). Also, Bush and Blair required Iraq to disarm its army (Rourke 138). Iraq denied these orders, and the coalition power including the U.S. and the U.K. declared war on Iraq. When declaring war, President Bush and Prime Minister Blair proclaimed that they had solid evidence that Iraq had been trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear weapons (Rourke 138)."

Abstract
The writer of this paper is of the opinion that the U.S. should not commit troops to Arab-Israeli conflict for the primary reason being that it is not their country, and while they can sympathize with the situation, they have no right to step in and solve it. This paper gives further reasons for U.S. troops not getting involved in the conflict as well as offering ways in which America could offer her services.
From the Paper
?The U.S. isn?t the only nation to have been humbled by this conflict. Most of Israel?s neighbors have fallen to it as well. Which is another reason to keep our troops at home. The Israeli military is more than capable of taking care of itself. In fact, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) is one of the most feared and respected military commands in the region, if not the world. Why would we want to pick an unnecessary fight with it? Because Israel?s Arab neighbors, having been repeated defeated by the IDF, want us to? That isn?t a good enough reason.Well-meaning people will say that we need to send troops in order to save lives.?

A look at the problem of addiction facing the returning troops from Vietnam.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss and analyze the topic of American troops returning from Vietnam. Specifically argues that troops returning from Vietnam were addicted to drugs and/or alcohol. During the 1960s and 1970s, America was in upheaval. The country was under an onslaught of drug addiction and rebellion among its youth, and there was little support for the young Americans fighting a war in Vietnam. When many of these young men returned, they were greeted with jeers and hatred, rather than cheers and gratitude. Many of them developed drug or alcohol addictions in Vietnam, or shortly after returning. This paper argues that these addictions were inevitable due to the time of the war, the availability of drugs, and the Vietnam veterans' desire to block out their experiences in Vietnam any way they could.
From the Paper
"What is the solution to stress disorder leading to addiction in America's fighting force? Perhaps a better understanding of just what these men and women face in combat and waiting for combat is necessary. However, that is not the only solution. Clearly, a better understanding and treatment of substance abuse is also required. Many veterans returning home from the War in Iraq note they find themselves alienated from friends and family, and have no support from the government they served. On a veteran's web site, one soldier noted the difficulties he faced when he returned home, including increased alcohol use, fights with his wife, and a growing sense of dissatisfaction with his life.

From the Paper
The purpose of this research is to examine the origin, purpose and demise of the Waffen SS.
Following the Battle of the Somme in 1914, all German divisions were expected to train and maintain at least one battalion of crack assault units, who were subjected to especially rigorous training and used only in the event of a major push. The name given to such a unit was "Stosstrupp," or "Shock Troop." Stosstrupp was also the name first given to what is known better as the Schutzstaffeln, or SS.
At least one commentator. has seen a parallel between the Shock Troops of World War I and the armed Schutzstaffeln, or Waffen SS, of World War II. Both were separated from the regular land army by virtue of their harder training and special privileges. There is no direct link between the two military ... "

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the book, "Bringing Out the Best in People: How to Enjoy Helping Others Excel," by motivational speaker and writer, Alan Loy McGinnis. Specifically, it discusses motivating employees to achieve their personal best. The rules for motivating people, presented by the author of the book, are outlined and discussed in this paper as well.
From the Paper
"This book could easily be applied to specific business environments and situations in a variety of ways. For example, a manager sees a certain employee is having difficulty remaining motivated and positive, and their work output has fallen off. Some managers might berate the employee, or "nag" them to get better, as McGinnis mentions (McGinnis 89). However, this is not effective managing, and may only further discourage the employee. A more effective way of dealing with the employee might be to first discover if something outside the workplace is affecting the employee, and then discussing ways to deal with the situation, while encouraging the employee to do their best. Perhaps a new task or project could bring them new satisfaction and change their perspective. Rule number two says to understand the other person's needs, and this is a classic example of the other person having some short term needs that need to be understood."

"Bringing Transnational Relations Back In", 2007.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the book "Bringing Transnational Relations Back In. Non-State Actors, Domestic Structure and International Institutions" by Thomas Risse-Kappen takes a fresh look at the impact of non-state actors on world politics and on the foreign policies of states. It also discusses how it revives the debate on transnational relations which started in the 1970s, and was at the time focused on state-centred approaches. It looks at how Risse-Kappen's new approach highlights the interactions of states and transnational actors, arguing that domestic structures of the state as well as international institutions mediate the policy influence of transnational actors.
From the Paper
"The fifth chapter is entitled "Transnational relations, domestic structures, and security policy in the USSR and Russia (1982 - 1994)". The author, Matthew Evangelista, aims to present a theoretical rationale understanding why the Soviet Union should have been open to the influence of transnational actors - in this case organisation of the Soviet and US scientists pursuing arms control initiatives - even in the high politics of security policy. This represents a break with the literature of the 1970s which assumed that transnational relations would predominate in issue areas outside the realm of 'high politics' and in countries where democratic politics would permit penetration of government policy making by transnational as well as domestic actors. Evangelista also seeks to evaluate an important implication of the generalization linking domestic structures and transnational activities. "

"Support / Strength. When the storms of life come there is need for a group of believers who will pray for us, encourage us, and be there when we need them. These groups often help with practical needs as well. ("Now all who believed were together and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need." Acts 2:44-45) ("Benefits of Belonging to a Cell Group," 2002, 5). Since we are dealing with people who bring a wide range of skills, talents, problems and issues to the small group environment, taking advantage of the positives while minimizing the negatives will require skillful and sometimes charismatic leadership."

Bringing Order to Chaos, 2002.
Discusses Chinese myth as a literary device, comparing it to Western literature.

Abstract
For the purposes of this analysis, this paper will focus on the workings of Chinese myth as a literary device and dwell on aesthetics and literary forms. This is best undertaken comparatively, for by drawing out the western myth-making conventions we can get a clearer understanding of the eastern literary aesthetics. Critics like Northrop Frye have isolated specific archetypal patterns in western mythology and have used these mythic archetypes to provide the main outlines and the circumference of the verbal universe which later occupied literature as well.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how, during World War II, Hollywood was part of the war effort and produced a number of works intended to stir up the troops, encourage those at home to help in the war effort, and demonize the enemy. The paper examines the different types of propaganda and shows how Disney used films and cartoons in their fight against Nazi Germany. The paper discusses how these films show a side of the war that many may not realize was so powerful.
From the Paper
"We tend to think of propaganda as a tool used by the enemy, but America uses propaganda as well. During World War II, Hollywood was part of the war effort and produced a number of works intended to stir up the troops and often to demonize the enemy as part of the process. The most obvious such films were the wartime war movies that celebrated Allied victories and killed off dozens of the enemy. Cartoons were also used in service of the war effort, often involving racially charged images that do not fit well with today's culture and so are often not seen any longer. A number of Popeye cartoons involved denigrating images of Japanese people. At Warner Bros., the Private Snafu series for the army included not only similar racist images but some swearing. Walt Disney Studios also enlisted in the war effort and produced a number of films intended to support the troops and demonize the enemy."

Abstract
This paper posits that the American government did not guide its troops properly in the Vietnam war by explaining the proper reasons for the war. The paper examines the decisions made to assist the South Vietnamese government economically and militarily, and provides a discussion of the American policy goals in Vietnam, and an assessment as to whether the United States was able to respond to important changes in the political and military strategies as the war dragged on. An analysis of the extent that the lack of public support played in the failure of the war's objectives is followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"In his book, America s Longest War (1979), Herring points to President Dwight D. Eisenhower's early ill-fated decision to use economic and military aid to support the corrupt regime of Ngo Dinh Diem in the newly created, Western-allied Republic of South Vietnam (43). This economic and military aid would translate into billions of dollars of America's treasure, but it also resulted in the deaths of almost 60,000 American troops and countless cases of emotional and physical damage to those who survived the experience. What could have made all of this sacrifice worth it? Was a military victory in Vietnam ever really possible from the outset?
Certainly, the world is a politically complex and potentially dangerous place in the 21st century, but the situation in the last half of the 20th century was equally challenging for American policymakers. Many of the decisions made during the Cold War turned out to be an expensive ---- but effective - response to the threat represented by the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. When the United States followed France's failed footsteps at Dien Bien Phu in 1954 into the rice paddies of Vietnam in the early 1960s, the decision was based on the complex geopolitical nature of the world at the time; however, the decision turned out to be both incredibly expensive yet wholly ineffective in achieving America's nebulous goals."

Abstract
This paper describes the war that existed in the Philippines after the Spain's defeat at the hands of the United States during the Spanish-American War. As a direct result of the war, the Philippines were given to the United States and the Filipino people who originally believed that they were fighting a war for freedom and independence against the Spanish begin to turn against American troops who they view as simply another occupying force. The first part of the paper gives a background to the Filipino insurgency and its main leader, General Emilio Aguinaldo. Aguinaldo's tactics of fighting a guerrilla war against American troops is examined, as well as the effectiveness of these attacks on shocking the American public back home. Feeling betrayed by America who promised the Filipino people freedom after the Spanish were defeated, Aguinaldo embarked on a series of deadly attacks on American soldiers in the Philippines. As a result, American troops responded with equal brutality in their reprisals with very little organized military command holding them back. Diaries are heavily cited in this section of the paper, giving primary sources that tell of how desperate the American soldiers were at the time and how they needed to racially dehumanize the enemy in order to commit such vicious acts of reprisal. The second part of the paper deals with how the American press responded to the war. Numerous newspaper articles and other criticisms of the war are given as examples, some written by the early 20th century's most prominent figures such as Mark Twain. The general point of this section is to show how deeply divided the American public was over the war in the Philippines and how many felt that it would lead to American involvement in other world affairs. A direct parallel is also drawn to the Iraq War in modernity. Finally, the paper ends with a detailed account of how individual soldiers from both sides viewed the conflict. The Filipinos clearly viewed the insurgency as a necessary action in order to preserve their promised independence, while many American soldiers were disgusted and frustrated with why they were in the country to begin with, and often responded violently towards the natives since they began to view them as subhuman. The psychology of warfare is briefly discussed, as soldiers often dehumanize the enemy as a means of justification of their own violent behavior. The end of the insurgency is also discussed, with American troops brutally putting down the rebellion and establishing a tight control over the entire area for decades.
From the Paper
"On April 11th, 1898, the President of the United States William McKinley went to Congress and asked the elected body to declare war on Spain for their role in oppression overseas and to accommodate public opinion that was strongly anti-Spanish due to the sinking of the United States battleship Maine only a few months earlier that was blamed on Spanish agents. Congress eventually sanctioned the war, and the Spanish-American war commenced with several battles over Spanish colonies such as Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. The war itself was over fairly quickly, as hostilities were ended only a few months after war was officially declared. The involvement in the former Spanish colonies clearly demonstrated that America had shifted to a strong imperialistic attitude when it came to the Western Hemisphere and indeed the world in general, and would be forced to endure all of the benefits and tribulations that came from being an imperialistic power."
