Abstract
Unprotected sexual relations can lead to a number of health problems for both men and women, including two life-threatening diseases, HIV/AIDs and Hepatitis A. The paper first looks at the statistics for the state of South Carolina, which show an increase in both these diseases over the years. It then looks the consequences for the community as a whole before discussing what the nursing community can do, as a matter of course during their daily routines, to help prevent the spread of these diseases.

From the Paper
"Any school district would be a place for nurses to begin pushing for a similar program. The reasoning is that if a safer choice attitude was developed just when individuals begin to be sexually active, that would continue in later years and help protect older age groups as well. Included in the lessons was information on the use of condoms. A number of studies have shown that using condoms can prevent other forms of community health risk that result from unprotected sex, including, possibly, genital warts, cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer."

Abstract
One key reason that the Civil War was fought was to preserve the union of states, as the southern states, one by one, seceded from the United States in order to form the Confederate States of America. This secession, which threatened to destroy the new nation before it had time to fully blossom, began with South Carolina's exit from the union of the United States in 1860. This paper discusses why South Carolina seceded, the effect that this action had on the rest of the southern states, and the role that South Carolina's action played in sparking the Civil War.

From the Paper
"South Carolina's intense desire for freedom from the constraints of the U.S. culminated in the conflict at Fort Sumter, Charleston, on April 12, 1861. Based on previously unsuccessful efforts for South Carolina to gain control of this fort, still under U.S. military control, South Carolina formed a huge army of its own and attacked Fort Sumter, gaining control of it and killing U.S. soldiers in the process. This act of rebellion constituted treason against the U.S., and in response, Abraham Lincoln called up 75,000 troops to squash the confederacy."

It analyzes what kind of education South Carolina employers see as important when making hiring decisions. It also looks at whether, from the perspective of the unemployed person, their unemployed status is related to their level of education.

Final Research Report
From the Paper
"This is a very significant study, in that unemployment and associated poverty levels cause human suffering throughout the USA. The National Centre for Children in Poverty reports that nationwide, 17% of American children live in poverty. This represents some 12 million children who will not get a good start in life, in terms of important formative factors such as nutrition and access to resources. This is unacceptable in a country that is as advanced and affluent as the USA. Further, it is self-evident that poverty is frequently linked to unemployment. Thus, any efforts to reduce unemployment can be expected to ultimately lead to the reduction of the number of people living in poverty in the USA. It is proposed that this study is one such effort, as the key to reducing unemployment is to discover its causes, so that they can be effectively addressed."

Obesity: Impact in South Carolina, 2004.
A look at the health problems caused by obesity, with a focus on South Carolina.

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the problems caused by the high incidence of obesity in the State of South Carolina. The paper describes the health consequences, the ethnic group that suffers most from obesity, the psychological consequences of obesity, and strategies to combat the problem.
From the Paper
"Being overweight isn?t just a cosmetic and lifestyle problem; it is a life and death problem. According to a report by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, reporting on their own weight status by South Carolinians put the state at the top of the national list for population obesity, 10th highest. To achieve that ranking meant that more than half of all South Carolinians are either overweight or obese. While there is no doubt from media reports that this is a national problem, certainly its effects are felt in South Carolina; logically, a state that is more overweight than 40 others will have more economic and medical impact than those 40 others."

Gambling in South Carolina, 2006.
A debate on the legalization of gambling in South Carolina.
2,025 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 5 sources, $ 80.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the nature of the gambling issue in South Carolina by discussing the arguments both for and against legalization. Of course, as will become evident, the arguments against legalization are much more prevalent and vocal than those for it. It mentions powerful religious groups in the state, who use their influence to affect political decisions on the matter.
From the Paper
"Few contemporary social issues in South Carolina are as heatedly debated as whether or not gambling should be legalized in the state. The divide between those who are in favor of it and those who oppose it often revolves around the economic benefits and the morality of the issue. Given the relative economic depression of South Carolina, it may seem surprising to some that the residents of the state wouldn't embrace gambling initiatives that would bring more development and jobs to the area. And yet, the history of gambling in South Carolina has been less than savory for so long that the public cries of immorality carry significant weight in the state. The purpose of this essay is to examine the nature of the gambling issue in South Carolina by discussing the arguments both for and against legalization. Of course, as will become evident, the arguments ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses how domestic violence is a problem due to its magnitude and because of its enduring implications. It examines how abuse does not stop with a single generation and how, sometimes, it rises to what must be seen as almost epidemic levels in a community, such as it has in South Carolina in the past few years. It looks at the definition of domestic violence and provides an overview of some of the key statistics involving domestic violence against women, as well as potential solutions to the problem.

Identification and Definition of the Problem
Possible Solutions
Most Cost-Beneficial Solution
Implementation and Evaluation of Results
From the Paper
"Clearly something must be done to improve the chances of women avoiding domestic violence and surviving its potentially lethal affects. Perhaps the most important step that can be taken is to provide more shelters for women seeking to escape violent relationships. One of the hallmarks of violent domestic relationships is that they have become isolated (intentionally by their partners) from their families and friends and even when they decide to make a break from the relationship they often cannot do so because they have no practical means of escape."

Capital Punishment in South Carolina, 2008.

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of the capital punishment statute in South Carolina from 1912. It discusses the debate over the laws and the current situation. The paper also compares the capital punishment laws between the different states and how they have been applied. In addition, the paper examines the arguments against the death penalty and suggests that the death penalty will slowly deteriorate into nothing.
From the Paper
"Basically, there are some people who believe that the death penalty should continue especially if they were victims or relatives of the victims. If the death penalty happens in one or two states only and people see that the murder rate declines when trials are set in those places, the boundaries would definitely change. In other words, if a murder happened in Columbia, South Carolina and the trial was set in Texas since the death penalty exist and all evidence pointed that way and was convicted, sentence to die, and executed; other states may join in to decrease murder rates."

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..."

"A Fabric of Defeat", 2002.
A review of Bryant Simon's "A Fabric of Defeat" which discusses South Carolina textile workers and their perception of the world.
1,025 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 1 source, $ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Bryant Simon examines the politics of South Carolina textile workers from the late 19th to the mid-20th century. He demonstrates how a group of southern laborers perceived the world, especially in the context of politics and public power. We see how these workers went through many transitions in their ideology, as their views of race and class changed throughout political developments, especially those that were brought on by the New Deal. The author examines the careers of Cole Blease and Olin Johnston to crystallize his themes. He analyzes the roots of the appeal of these popular South Carolina politicians to demonstrate his main arguments.

Sales Tax Versus Property Tax, 2005.
A comparison of the merits of South Carolina's sales tax versus the state's property tax.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 4 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper argues that South Carolina's property tax is more preferable and more indispensable than the state's sales tax. While the latter has certain things operating in its favor, at least one observer has accused it of being inefficient, and the paper suggests that, from the available literature, it does not serve the state's most important functions, chiefly education, as well as does the property tax.
From the Paper
"South Carolina's Sales Tax versus the State's Property Tax Taxation is a major concern in many jurisdictions, and South Carolina is no different. The following paper will examine the relative merits of South Carolina's sales tax versus its property tax. As should become clear, there are things to commend the state's sales tax as well as items that call it into question. Conversely, the state's property tax may not be welcomed by home-owners, but it does serve the vital function of strengthening South Carolina's education system. As well, it appears to be easier to enforce and to implement than a sales tax (at least at the present time) and property taxes in general are more efficiently administered because they are so much more difficult to evade."

From the Paper
"South Korea has been an important connotation for modern history and the adverse impact of the Cold War. Korean history as such is over four thousand years old however even after treacherous Japanese and Chinese rule over Korea over the course of its history it did have several decades of democracy only to be marred by other invasions. Immediately after the Second World War, America and U.S.S.R. decided arbitrarily to occupy and divide North and South Korea across the 38th Parallel and it was mutually agreed upon that over the next couple of decades the region would be reunited into one Korea. However the spill-over effects of the Cold War, rather Capitalism versus Communism created what can be termed as ??Cold? Korea ?War?? which has led to extensive wars between the North and the South and even after five decades of division both the North and the South have only vastly grown in differences, cultures and economic development. While the North has remained impoverished and dependent on Chinese handouts and maintains one of the largest militaries in the world, USA brought South Korea under its wing and has created one of the world?s largest economies. It is a sharp contrast to the North with very little similarity except a violent history that was marred by foreign rule. South Korea today is a vibrant economy and although it has faced its share of problems with dictatorial regimes over the last couple of decade?s democracy has been widespread and successful and has led to strong economic growth and recovery."
