Abstract
While the United States and Australia are literally a world apart geographically, the two countries share much in common today, including the English language; a legacy of British influence, customs and traditions; a comparable constitution; and, more importantly for the purposes of this discussion, the common law. The research shows that the respective contract laws that evolved over time in these two countries share this heritage, but some important differences have emerged that can make the difference between a successful contract and a failed one. Given the importance of timely and equitable adjudication of contracts of all types today, though, it is therefore important to understand when these legally binding instruments can be set aside and for what reasons. To this end, this paper provides the relevant background and a discussion of how and why contracts can be set aside in Australia and the United States. This is followed by a summary of the research and salient findings in the conclusion.

From the Paper
"In fact, the legal system used in the United States and in most of the member states of the Commonwealth of Nations, including Australia, in based on this body of common law. As a result, common law is differentiated from formal rules that were developed by the separate acts of equity, to statute law (i.e., the acts of legislative bodies), and to the legal system derived from civil law that is now more popular in continental Europe and elsewhere (Kiralfy 2006)."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the history of professional police forces in Britain, the US, and Australia, starting in the 18th century. Includes an analysis of the how the general population regards police.
From the Paper
"The modern day police force is often taken for granted. People assume that the police will always be there whenever needed and probably always have been. A second thought is rarely ever entered into of the origins of the police force. But it was not until the nineteenth century that a police force remotely similar to what we have come to know in the present time emerged. In times of rapid social change and widespread disorder, a force of individuals became necessary to uphold and enforce the public law."

From the Paper
"Coal is one of the most commonly used fuels both commercially and by the consumer market. A combustible sedimentary rock, coal formed over many millions of years from the accumulation of plant material kept under pressure by the earth's surface. In addition to its direct use, coal by-products include ammonia, light oils and tar; these, in turn, yield benzene, drugs, fertilizer and insecticides.
Approximately one-half of the world's total coal output is consumed by power stations to generate electricity; an additional 25 percent is used in iron and steel manufacturing (Galuszka, 1986, p. 47). During 1986, Australia produced more than 170 million tons of coal, making it the world's ninth-largest producer of black coal. More than half of this amount was exported, primarily to Asia and specifically to Japan. New South..."

Abstract
This paper explains that after the September 11th attacks by terrorists in the United States, the federal government and the American people determined that national security should be the primary focus of the country. In response to this call to protect the United States against future terrorist activities, the President and Congress acted swiftly to develop a plan that would allow the government to attempt to meet this goal and receive terrorist information previous to another assault on the United States. The USA Patriot Act was the result of these efforts. The paper further explains that the Patriot Act gave the broadest possible allowances to the government in their quest to identify terrorists, but in the process of doing so, it became evident that the law also infringed upon the rights of American citizens. This paper discusses this issue in relation to how the Patriot Act conflicts with the code of ethics followed by the National Association of Social Workers.

Reasons for Signing the Treaty
From the Paper
"While there are many political reasons that the US may refuse to sign the treaty, one of the chief causes for concern might be the establishment of an International Criminal Court. Many UN delegates support the idea of an International Criminal Court but the United States has been steadfast in its refusal to agree. An international criminal court might begin the slippery slope of descent to the power of individual nations when it comes to many issues including the treaty.If the international criminal court gains favor and power in the future it is feasible that the court could be used to enforce the treaty."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the doctrine of multiculturalism. The writer offers an analysis of why such a doctrine is problematic. In order to examine the issue of multiculturalism, the writer uses examples from the public education systems in the U.S. and Great Britain to show the difficulties in treating all cultures as equal.
From the Paper
"Multiculturalism is defined by the Ayn Rand institute as the view that all cultures are equal. While this doctrine is often adopted in spirit if not in principle in the U.S. and Great Britain, multiculturalism is problematic as a term. For if all cultures are equal we cannot say that there is one superior way of being, one superior set of values or one superior method of educating individuals. However societies like America and Great Britain often adopt such methods values ... "

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to see how different countries handle police informants and face up to the problems associated with their use, especially those that lead to miscarriages of justice. Moreover, there have been only limited studies on police informants, most of which are greater than five years old. Since the use of police informants is widespread, and often vital in some police investigations, a thorough examination of how they are used is beneficial to understanding their unique role.

From the Paper
"All the informants are encouraged to expand their abilities, knowledge and suppleness through incessant learning. They give a wide variety of development opportunities to provide them for novel roles and to hold up the individual development plans that are an essential part of the evaluation system (Goldstein, 1987). On joining, all the informants enter a prearranged introduction program geared toward the work they are to take on. Informant officers pursue programs encompassing courses, work experience, as well as one-to-one mentoring. A number of expert staff arrives with the necessary experience and knowledge to take up assignments immediately, at the same time as others might undergo rigorous training (Goldstein, 1987)."

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses that the use of the Internet has increased the risk of a patient's health information being read by persons other than the intended receiver. The villains range from insurance companies attempting to determine if a patient has what they consider to be a pre-existing condition to a co-worker who is inquisitive about why their colleague was in the room down the hall. The writer notes that today, with the Internet, with a click of a button, anyone can, with the right information, have access to personal health information even if she is not providing care for the patient. In an attempt to nullify that access, confidentiality statements are used. The writer notes that the intent is to inform the recipient of their responsibility in handling the information and questions wether this is enough.

Confidentiality Statements
From the Paper
" Healthcare has become a field or service where it is important to recognize that the duty to warn or the duty to protect is not limited to provider and client. This responsibility extends to third parties as well. An example of this responsibility is the recent case of the Atlanta, GA attorney who was diagnosed with a rare form of contagious tuberculosis. The attorney traveled outside of the country to several other countries with his new wife, on their honeymoon. At the time of travel, he was considered by the Center for Disease Control, as highly contagious. The travel included airplanes, trains, buses and automobiles. As anyone who has traveled on any of these modes of transportation knows, the proximity between him and the other passengers was close. Although the attorney denies it, the CDC states that they warned him to avoid travel, especially travel outside of the country. "

Abstract
This paper discusses a case study concerning a patient infected with hepatitis B and her doctor's obligation to respect the patient's rights to confidentiality. The paper explains that, in this particular case, the patient's autonomy is not respected. The patient is not only competent but well-informed about the hepatitis B antigen, but the doctor insists on focusing on the patient's sex life when unprotected sex is only one of five possible causes of hepatitis B. The paper points out that the crucial point in this case is that the doctor makes an agreement with her over consent. The paper then argues that the doctor should maintain patient confidentiality.

From the Paper
"Following the end of quotas on textile imports from China as of 1 January 2005, both the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) have witnessed a massive influx of textile imports from China: "U.S. imports of Chinese clothing swelled in January, a rush of new products following the end of international quotas that for decades had limited global apparel trade" (Chinese, 2005, para.1). While increases have been across the board, three categories in particular have seen huge increases: cotton knit shirts, blouses and cotton trousers, and these have been targeted for renewed protectionist quotas by both the US and the EU (China, 2005, para.2).

From the Paper
"Also, a farmer who taught school as a young man called on Ms. X at the school and just happened to speak of his own days as a teacher and how one had to learn to maintain confidentiality regarding each and every student as one of the profession's challenges. Naturally, all of these events were known to us because we heard our parents and family friends discussing them, in the spirit of a decent approach to correcting an unthinking teacher, letting her know that the community expected her to respond to the boy who could be difficult, in awareness of his home life. In hindsight, it is obvious that Ms. X received the message kindly yet clearly that her remarks were intolerable, must never occur again, and that the community expected her to address the student and his classmates differently."
