Abstract
This paper studies the issues related to smoking in public places. The paper argues that smoking should be restricted in public places for three main reasons. First, secondhand smoke is a known danger to health. Second, smoking impedes many social activities. Finally, it looks at the economic effects of smoking, from the economic costs of lost working hours to taxpayer dollars in Medicare.
From the Paper
"The health dangers are even more pronounced for children. Health experts have attributed the rising rates of lower respiratory tract infection among babies and infants to secondhand smoke exposure. Every year, the EPA estimates that between 150,000 to 300,000 respiratory infections among infants below 18 months are directly attributable to secondhand smoke. In addition, at least one million children with asthma stand to be adversely affected by any exposure to cigarette smoke."

Abstract
This paper looks at the incidences of fires that have occurred in public places and reviews the social, economic and political impact each has had on our society. In particular, the paper surveys those fires that have caused significant loss of life, namely the Cocoanut Grove Lounge fire in Boston, Massachusetts, the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire in Southgate, Kentucky, and the Happy Land Fire in Bronx, New York. It examines their impact on social and governmental action details and the advancement of our knowledge of fire prevention and safety which often comes at the cost of great loss of life through these fire tragedies.
From the Paper
"The Supper Club fire also has a significant impact on the way personal injury claims are litigated for injuries to large numbers of people while in a place of assembly. While attorney Stan Chesley's approach to the case has been criticized for years, there is little doubt that it changed the way major lawsuits are litigated in America (Fisher, 1997a). Chesley became involved after a man who was injured in the blaze came to him for help. However, instead of lining up behind the hundreds of other personal injury lawyers hoping for a small piece of a settlement, Chesley filed the first lawsuit in the case and promptly tried to consolidate the case with the other plaintiffs. Chesley's theory was to share the costs and the risks with the other plaintiffs in the hope that together they could win a much bigger settlement (Horn, 1999)."

Abstract
Analysis of Humphreys' book on the sociology of deviance. Book centers on a study of men from mainstream society (most married) who engaged in impersonal sex with other men in public bathrooms. Subculture. Risks involved (exposure, police) and reward (sexual satisfaction). Faults author's controversial research strategy (posing as a deviant to obtain information) & his methodology as violations of the freedom & privacy rights of his subjects, and as lacking depth. Praises book for its enlightening perspective.
From the Paper
"In Tearoom Trade: Impersonal Sex in Public Places, Laud Humphreys redefined the sociology of deviance by showing that men from mainstream society were the main participants of a highly deviant activity?impersonal sex in restrooms dubbed the tearoom (Rainwater in Humphreys, 1975, p. xiii). Unlike prevalent conceptions of deviant acts as belonging solely to a deviant subculture, such as the gay culture, tearoom sex involves men who are married and live with their wives (Humphreys, 1975, p. 105).
Depending on how far their deviant behavior deviated from the rest of their lives, these men faced different risks by participating in tearoom sex. Therefore, Humphreys (1975) discovered that married men with a respectable position in mainstream society compensated for their deviant behavior by..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the claim that smoking should not be allowed in public places. The problem of second-hand smoking as a result of smoking in public, is raised. The hazards of second-hand smoke are presented in the paper. The issue is addressed from a legislative point of view as well as from the business/company perspective. The paper provides a number of reasons why a company should endeavor to prevent smoking within its boundaries. The media's influence on public awareness of smoking and passive smoking hazards is examined.
From the Paper
"Smoking should not be allowed in public places. This is based primarily on the fact that second-hand smoke is a health hazard, but it can also be argued that allowing people to smoke in public only perpetuates the habit and encourages others to take it up, thus adding to the health hazard in the long run. The private sector is already addressing the issue on a case-by-case basis, banning smoking in the workplace in many companies. Those who believe there is a problem may create a smoke-free area for customers or workers, or workers can demand that their place of business be entirely smoke free. Still, the government should take further action to protect the public where companies do not, including in shopping areas, workplaces, theaters, restaurants, and anywhere the public gathers. Allowing smoking on the street in fact encourages smoking, and discouraging smoking should be a primary effort for the public and private sectors to reduce the health costs paid by both."

Abstract
An analysis of Robert Frost's poem "Desert Places" according to X. J. Kennedy's analytic categories concentrating on imagery, but also demonstrating how Frost weaves poetic elements into an artistic whole merging rhythm, rhyme, and symbol with imagery.
From the Paper
"Robert Frost?s poem ?Desert Places? provides an excellent example of how a poem may be analyzed according to analytic categories devised by X. J. Kennedy. This discussion will primarily concentrate on the imagery of Frost?s poem, but will also show how a poetic genius weaves together the various elements of poetry, as defined in Kennedy?s analytic categories, to form an artistic whole. What happens in this poem is that other categories such as rhythm, rhyme, and symbol merge with the imagery to create a unique entity -- sixteen lines of lyric verse capable of traveling from the heart and mind of one man to the innermost depths of millions of humans far distant in time and place."

Smoking in Public Places, 2002.
An argument about why smoking should not be allowed in public places.

Abstract
The following paper discusses the reasons why smoking should not be allowed in public places. The writer expresses his strong views against smoking and proposes that laws be passed to protect non-smokers from smokers.
From the Paper
"Smoking vs. nonsmoking in a public area; should people be allowed a choice? I think smoking in public places should not be allowed. Imagine sitting in a public place, unable to enjoy the air you are breathing due to the cloud of smoke coming from the person sitting near you. The fact that smoking is allowed has put the smoker and the nonsmoker in an uncomfortable situation. Being uncomfortable for the smoker is by choice, but the nonsmoker has no choice and this is why it shouldn't be allowed. We weren't made for smoking and neither was our environment."

Fitzpatrick and LaGory's "Unhealthy Places", 2005.
This paper reviews "Kevin Fitzpatrick and Mark LaGory's "Unhealthy Places", which explores inner city areas in American cities.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, in Kevin Fitzpatrick and Mark LaGory's "Unhealthy Places, American inner city areas are described as sites of very poor health. The author points out that a spatial model of identity is explained in terms of territorial behavior, which keeps people living in areas that they know are unhealthy and that authorities do little to improve. The paper relates that child mortality doubled through the 1980s, life expectancy is now much lower and residents face pollution, hazardous wastes, increasing violence plus usual problems of poverty."
From the Paper
"The orientation of this volume is strongly American, and much of it revolves around the Village Creek area of Birmingham, Alabama. Nevertheless, its general subject and its theoretical focus can serve as a helpful starting place for readers who are interested in environmentalism and ecology, in relation to the authors' strong emphasis on urban and medical sociology. As this book argues, throughout, being poor in the United States involves subjecting oneself to significant environmental and health risks. The approaches of medical sociology help to give a dimension to this book that separates it from ever so many works to argue that 'poverty is bad', or 'the environment should be cleaner'."

Abstract
This paper provides a brief review of life during the Vietnam war as experienced by a young girl. It explains how the book focuses on the influences that came together to cause the war, the fact that there are no enemies, just sides and positions, and the personal tragedies and emotional struggles that she and many others experienced. Hayslip is a wonderful humanitarian today. She utilizes former GIs to go back and deliver humanitarian aid to previously war-torn parts of Vietnam.
From the Paper
"Le Ly Hayslip has always been in-between. She was partly influenced by the south and north, east and west, peace and war, and Vietnam and America. It has been her life and fate to be in-between Heaven and Earth. When Heaven and Earth Changed Places recounts her experiences from a small village in Vietnam called Ky La. Hayslip is another victim of the Vietnam War. The brutality of the war created separation in her family, the destruction of an individual, and distrust among formerly friendly neighbors. She was born the youngest of six children in a close-knit Buddhist family. Throughout her childhood, the peace breaks into pieces due to the war. Le Ly, as a little girl, serves the Viet Cong fighters, and she is honored for courageously surviving tortures in prison when captured by the government."

From the Paper
"Christopher Robin Milne died on April 20, 1996. He was the original Christopher Robin who owned the stuffed bear called Winnie-the-Pooh and his father A. A. Milne wrote some of the world's most famous children's books about his son and his toy animals. The obituaries for Christopher Milne stressed the fact that the "attention this brought him from Pooh fans didn't always sit well with the real Christopher Robin" ("Transition" 87). But in his autobiography, The Enchanted Places, which deals mainly with his childhood, Milne did not express any dislike for the books. The main problem that he had with his fame was that it was never really his own fame. The question that bothered him the most about the books was whether they had really been written for him, as his father sometimes claimed, or whether he was just the source of an idea that his father could use for his own purposes. In the book Milne tries to understand why it always seemed to him that his father had only pretended to write the books for him."

Abstract
Ernest Hemingway was just as adept at describing places and experiences he had never been involved in personally as he was at illustrating his direct encounters. This 3,000 word essay gets into detail about his histories as a child, his war experiences (real and imagined) and his involvement with Agnes Von Kurowsky who he met in WWI after being injured. Most importantly, it attempts to discover what ?places? he?s been to that enabled him to write so heroically.
