Abstract
This paper supports decriminalization rather than legalization of marijuana and bases its rationale on the assumption that legalization is politically untenable. While the criminal elements of the marijuana industry are examined they are examined in the light that the marijuana industry would not generate the profit margins that the criminal industry usually demands if marijuana were decriminalized.
From the Paper
"The legality of marijuana in Canada seems to be more of a matter of legal semantics than any pragmatic change in legal practice. As one pundit notes, "Officially, possession of cannabis is a crime and first-time offenders face a maximum sentence of a $1,000 fine or six months in jail, or both...Unofficially, the law is in tatters...(Bergman, 2003, para.3). It is this tenuous status quo that receives the most criticism while the debate about legalizing/decriminalizing or toughening/enforcing marijuana statutes receives the most intellectual attention. The polarity on either side of the marijuana debate acknowledges that the policy as it currently exists, is unsustainable. The following research and argument is intended to support the decriminalization of marijuana as opposed to the legalizing of marijuana. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the Canadian airline industry. Some historical reference is used to support the research and particular emphasis is given to Air Canada. Air Canada is Canada's largest airline with approximately 70% of the market and as such has a considerable impact on the overall economy. Some mention is given to the national airport systems (NAS) and its relationship to the airline industry.
From the Paper
"The Canadian Airline industry is often overlooked in relation to the North American airline industry as a whole and in relation to the financial woes of the American airline industry. Yet, the Canadian airline industry suffered as much a devastating blow due to the events of September 11^th, 2001 (9/11) as the American airline industry. A general global spiral in the performance of air carriers internationally has not bypassed the Canadian airline industry either. "

High School Drug Testing, 2002.
Examining arguments for and against testing of high school students for drugs and alcohol. Focus is placed on athletes at sporting events.
2,514 words (approx. 10.1 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 76.95

Abstract
This paper presents and discusses each side of the drug testing argument, showing that each has its good and bad points. The argument to have no drug testing and the argument to have random drug testing are discussed only briefly, since the paper argues that there can be only one 'right' answer to the drug testing question. The writer claims that in a public high school setting it is the school's right to test for drugs in its athletes if the students have been notified and the date of testing is known.
From the Paper
"Recently, the debate over whether high school athletes could be tested for illegal drugs has gotten more heated. There are not two, but three sides to this tricky and complex argument. One side says that high school athletes should never be drug tested for any reason, one side says that high school athletes should be able to be drug tested at any time, based on the discretion of the teacher or coach, and one side says that scheduled drug testing of high school students should be acceptable but random testing should not be. Why the distinction between scheduled and random testing?"

Abstract
This paper relates that, as this Flying Geese pattern of development progresses, countries in the Asian region become more and more integrated and interdependent. The author states that the Flying Geese model describes how industry passes through five stages: Introduction, import substitution, export, mature and reverse-import stages. The paper concludes that the significance of Flying Geese model in East Asia?s economic development is declining in recent time as high technology is introduced and globalization takes place. Tables.
Table of Contents
Introduction
The Meaning of Flying Geese Model
Evidences of Flying Geese Pattern Development in East Asia.
Significance of Flying Geese Hypothesis in East Asia Economic Development.
High Inflows of FDI and Export Expansion
International Economic Development.
Inter-Industry and Intra-Industry Trade Pattern.
Regional Integration
Declining Significance of Flying Geese Model in Recent Time
Conclusion
From the Paper
"When reaching export stage, the growth of domestic demand will decline. Exports of the product have begun to increase and imports decline. The strong exports enable the country to import capital goods for continued expansion of production. Inward FDI becomes significant as the same industry in the advanced countries has lost its comparative advantage and has to relocate to developing countries. As the industry gets into its mature stage, production slows down due to increasing costs and intensified competition from late-starting countries."

A Study of Unidentified Flying Objects, 2005.
This paper examines the phenomena of unidentified flying objects.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that one of the more curious unexplained phenomena of our age is the continuous sightings of unidentified flying objects. The writer points out that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) have been sighted since ancient times and are still sighted each day. Some believe that the UFO phenomenon has something to do with everything from the pyramids to the beginning of life on this planet. Others insist that the entire idea is ludicrous and every sighting can be explained as either a hoax or as a result of "natural" causes. The writer discusses what actually classifies as a UFO and notes that one way of looking at this is to classify UFOs as anything that takes flight that is unidentifiable at the time. The writer maintains that the problem remains that numerous sightings do not fall into these categories and remain in the realm of the unexplained.
From the Paper
"Like many in the private sector, the government sightings are far from all being the same. On February 15th, 1965, a United States Air Force captain stared upward into the sky and, to his amazement, saw three enormous, oval-shaped objects. In 1953, while running the initial tests on a new tracking device, US Air Force operators were astonished to pick up a gigantic object orbiting near the equator. Some type of huge, unknown object was circling the Earth some six hundred miles out. Another, this sighting on May 5th, 1954, depicts a military that is not sure what they are dealing with ..."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer relates that Ojibway's concept of the cycle of life is demonstrated throughout Ignatia Broker's narrative, "Night Flying Woman". The writer points out that Broker highlights three major steps in the Ojibway's cycle of life and that she effectively illustrates the Ojibway's respect for this cycle. The author concludes that the narrative, 'Night Flying Woman' provides something for everyone to learn from, no matter what step of the cycle you are in.
From the Paper
"Birth and childhood of Ojibway children play an especially important role in the cycle of life for it is a time for the gaining of much knowledge, both for the present as well as the future. The birth of a child is imperative for the preservation of any group of people and is likely the reason Ojibway mothers usually have five children throughout their lives. Shortly after the birth of a child, the time for teaching of the tribe's ways can begin. Constant learning is encouraged at an early age when the children are made to watch the elders go about their lives, whether they be hard at work lacing strong birch-bark containers, winding string made from the bark of trees, or just talking amongst themselves and socializing with one another. This is made apparent when part of Oona's childhood is described early on in the narrative."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Hon-Ming Chen, a native of Taiwan, organized and promoted a fascinatingly bizarre, apocalyptic religious group, multi-labeled as God's Salvation Church, God Saves the Earth Flying Saucer Foundation, the True Way, or Chen Tao, in the United States in 1997. Chen believed that God would arrive on Earth in a flying saucer to save the elect from the impending nuclear and natural holocaust in 1999. The history of Chen and his group, their beliefs, and how they coped with the failed prophecy are discussed.
From the Paper
"For the most part, God?s Salvation Church grew from Hon-Ming Chen?s imagination rather than some experience of disenfranchisement, deprivation, disaster, or clash of cultures. This apocalyptic worldview of Chen played itself out mostly in Texas, where he and his followers tried to persuade the world, albeit through very limited means, while waiting for the end to come. After the destruction of the world prophecy fell through, most (about one hundred ten out of one hundred forty) followers returned home, the remaining staying loyal to their teacher."

"Night Flying Woman", 2007.

Abstract
This paper examines "Night Flying Woman" by Ignatia Broker and reflects on the different steps of the Ojibway cycle of life and their effect on Ojibway culture. The steps of the cycle mentioned in this essay are birth and childhood, learning of the Ojibway ways, the carrying out of these taught ways, making the great journey and the passing on of history, knowledge and tradition.
From the Paper
"Another key part of the cycle of life is when an Old One makes the great journey. While making the great journey is the end of a person's cycle of life, it is not the end of their influence on the tribe, or the end of the Ojibway cycle of life for that matter. The legends and stories of the Ojibway elders are passed on, and their words are honored. Oona describes the period following the passing on of Grandmother and Grandfather. "The mourning lasted a year. They would never be forgotten, for their names were whispered to the si-si-gwa-d." (Broker, 114) Grandmother and Grandfather were not remembered so much for their individuality, but for the contribution and their dedication to the Ojibway children. "

Abstract
Examines the debate over flying the Confederate Battle Flag over the Statehouse in Columbia, South Carolina. Past & recent history. Sentimental & historical meaning of the Confederate flag to Southerners. Issues of symbolism, partriotism, racism, slavery. South vs. North. Views of whites & African-Americans in South Carolina. Argues that the Confederate flag should remain. Gives reasons.
From the Paper
"?To strike freedom of the mind with the fist of patriotism is an old and ugly subtlety,? wrote Adlai Stevenson in a 1952 speech, and his words could well apply to the debate that has gone on for generations in the state of Georgia over the flying of the state?s flag, which since 1956 has had the Confederate emblem incorporated into it. Although recent protests over the Georgia flag have not been as those in South Carolina over the Confederate Battle Flag?s flying over the statehouse in Columbia ? a somewhat more egregious action ? it remains a contentious issue in the state that is considers itself both to be the heart of Dixie and also the heart of the new, enlightened, progressive South (Harrison A1).
Protests over the state?s flag, which is seen by some as a reminder of the state?s history of independence and by others as a..."

"The Cranes Are Flying", 2006.
An analysis of the movie "The Cranes Are Flying".
980 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 34.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper studies the themes of ascent and descent represented in the film "The Cranes Are Flying", directed by Mikhail Kalatozov. The author shows how straight, dramatic slopes of all kinds are seen throughout the film, as the main characters, Veronica and Boris, run past them, creep up them, step on and off them and experience literal and figurative death at their lowest points. The paper argues that these visual cues enable the film to be emotionally compelling. The paper concludes that the angular mise-en-scene provides symbolism to punctuate the film's emotional peaks and valleys.
From the Paper
"The film opens with Veronica and Boris running in the streets. They run on flat ground, but profiles of tremendous stairways loom behind them. The streets are wet and uninhabited, as if the couple is coasting along in a dream - a fantasy world that exists on a plane directly in front of reality. This scene gives the viewer an idea of the carefree love that the two characters share while allowing only subtle premonitions of things to come. At a later point, when Fyodor enters the kitchen after Veronica has left and begins to make negative comments to Boris regarding the relationship, he does so after ascending a staircase. He invades their plane."

Abstract
This paper considers the development and formation of simulation programs from their origins at MIT in the 1960's as well as their application to commercial airlines. Topics include how computer simulation is used to reconstruct airline accidents to help find the causes of these accidents and how the industry uses these to make air travel safer.
From the Paper
"The history of simulation programs started at MIT in the 1960's. In fact, MIT has one of the finest aeronautical engineering facilities of any in the United States. Known as the Wright Brothers Facility, MIT has been working with every part of simulation and aeronautical safety study that is known. As early as 1896 the Institute had wind tunnels that were used to simulate the amount of pressure that could be exerted on parts of the wings and body of the airplanes. Since that time prototypes of all sorts of simulation have evolved up to and including the most advanced of computer graphics simulators."

From the Paper
"This paper will provide an historical overview of the Flying Tigers. A Flying Tiger fighter plane could always be distinguished by the "razor-sharp shark teeth and sinister eyes painted on the nose" (Neely, 1991, p. 66). Formally known as the American Volunteer Group (AVG), the Flying Tigers flew in numerous aerial operations over China during the early period of the Second World War. The pilots of this group became legendary because of their success in fighting against the Japanese and also because of the many dramatic and colorful stories surrounding them. The pilots were volunteers from the U.S. armed services who were seeking excitement and adventure beyond their normal military duties. Because of the adventurous nature of these pilots, there were many discipline problems to be found among them. Their commanding officer, Claire Lee Chennault ..."

From the Paper
"In her notorious 1973 bestseller Fear of Flying, Erica Jong championed the idea of loveless, guilt-free sex for women, which she coined with the infamous "zipless" phrase (Jong, 11). Subsequently, Jong was viewed as a symbol of hedonism and Jong herself argued that Fear of Flying provided women with a sense of libidinal license (People Weekly [Sep 1994], 37). However, Jong also stated that "[m]y generation had Doris Day as a role model, then Gloria Steinem -- then Princess Diana. We are the most confused generation." Thus, she also argued that Fear of Flying was her attempt to define womanhood and femininity, even as it related to female sexuality. In particular, Jong stated that in writing Flying, she had a sense that she was "going to open the top of a woman's head and show what was going on inside." "
