Abstract
This paper defines anger and discusses what happens when it gets out of control, when it can become very destructive. The author describes causes and effects of anger and explains that internalizing it can lead to massive releases of rage and even health problems when people finally allow it to surface. Different types of anger management methods are described, including relaxation techniques, cognitive restructuring and problem solving. The paper concludes with the suggestion that a valuable follow-up research project might be to compare anger between teenage or young adult male and female gang members to shed light on what causes people to join gangs, the difference between girls' and boys' gangs, and which is the angrier and has more potential for violence.
From the Paper
"What causes anger? Just about any stressful or negative situation can cause anger, and everyone feels anger throughout his or her lifetime. However, people react differently to anger, and to the situations that can make them angry, and that is often a product of people's temperament, how they saw others deal with anger, and how they learn about anger and managing anger. Some people are just angrier than others are, and they show it in different ways. Often, it is frustration that causes anger. This is called the "frustration-aggression hypothesis" and it shows that frustration can lead to aggression and anger in most people."

Abstract
This paper shows how mental health nurses talk extensively about the relationship between the nurse and the patient and the use of this relationship. It is suggested that this relationship is a therapeutic one and this term is often used in the patients? care planning. The paper quesions what exactly nurses want to achieve in this nurse-patient relationship. The author of the paper suggests that one of the primary goals of this relationship should be to move power and control to the patient. Perhaps this could be seen as the objective or end goal of the relationship. The writer also suggests that mental health nurses often inadvertently remove control and power from the patient through the inappropriate use of this relationship. Several power theories, put forth by experts in the field such as Barnett and Hildegard Peplau, are discussed in relation to the writer's developing philosophy of nursing and own practice as a psychiatric nurse.
From the Paper
"Taking the time to know the patient is part of enabling empowerment and this is shown in the nurse-patient relationship through Peplau?s (1997) theory of interpersonal relations. Peplau discusses the nurse-patient relationship as requiring three phases to achieve a therapeutic value. This involves an interpersonal knowing between the nurse and the patient. There are three phases to Peplau?s framework: orientation, working, and termination phases. This writer suggests that in order to move the relationship from the orientation phase to the working phase, the nurse must identify issues of power and control in the relationship. Forchuk et al (1998) cites the relationship as powerful when moving through this transition to the working phase. This involves the nurse being consistent, available and valuing trust in the relationship."

Controlling Urban Congestion, 2007.
This paper provides an analysis of data from London, Stockholm, and New York City in order to discuss variable pricing as a means for controlling urban congestion.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that roadway congestion is a significant problem for nations with an active motorist population, especially in urban areas. The writer points out that traditional efforts to combat congestion have typically focused on increasing capacity through increases in roadway infrastructure. The writer then claims that research has shown, however, that these methods are ultimately ineffective for controlling congestion and its associated ills. Economists have long seen the value in associating usage costs with roadways in order to control congestion and encourage more efficient resource use. The writer relates that with technology finally catching up to this ideal, roadway-pricing schemes are becoming more popular in cities throughout the world. The writer concludes that a consideration of the pros and cons of pricing strategies implemented in London and Stockholm, and proposed in New York City, reveals that while there is still significant political and public resistance, the strategies are effective at achieving their stated goals.
Outline:
Introduction
The Myriad Negative Effects of Persistent Congestion
Why Congestion Continues Despite Increased Expenditures on Highway Infrastructure
Variable Congestion Pricing as a Viable Solution
Schemes to Alleviate the Problem of Urban Congestion
London: a System at Work
Stockholm: a Seven-Month Experiment Ready for Implementation
New York City: Public and Political Resistance
Schemes for Controlling Roadway Congestion
Analysis of the Costs and Benefits
Conclusions
From the Paper
"Congestion, both in urban centers and on connecting highways, has become a major problem for the transportation networks of cities throughout the world. In the world's major metropolises, the issue has become particularly acute, with congestion having profound negative effects on air quality, travel time, the cost of goods and services, and the general livability of cities. Congestion problems are literally becoming a liability for these cities. As the pressure of congestion increases, the capacity of a given city to function effectively is greatly diminished, resulting in hidden and overt costs for individuals, businesses, and public resources. The net effect, then, of congestion has been consistently deleterious."

Reducing and Controlling Crime, 2005.
Examines strategies for reducing and controlling crime, using collective efficacy, social capital and community empowerment.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Collective efficacy, social capital and community empowerment have all been suggested to play a vital role in reducing and controlling crime in communities. Not surprisingly, many communities targeted for change are those that suffer disadvantage, being exposed to risk factors such as unemployment, family instability, low education levels and poverty. This paper addresses the challenges faced when implementing capacity building programs, and evaluates the evidence for the effectiveness of these approaches in reducing crime.
From the Paper
"Not only does this get the community helping themselves, but also bestows a sense of empowerment on them and makes them feel important and a valued member of society who can make a change in their community; this empowerment may have not been the initial aim of the program but filters through automatically due to the sense of accomplishment an individual feels. Empowerment can be the most important aim in any community development that takes place as it "provides people with the recourses, opportunities, knowledge and skills" to change their own future and to contribute to the entire community."

Novels about Hypothetical Controlling Governments, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that the governments in George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" have fed so many lies to the denizens that the commoners no longer know right from wrong, truth from fiction. The author points out that the government of "Nineteen Eighty-Four" goes so far as to change history as recent as the previous day to adulate the current state of the ever present all-knowing Party; the powers in "Fahrenheit 451" do not merely change written history, they ban it altogether. The paper stresses that these governments control the common people through the manipulation of language. Quotations.
From the Paper
"As in the novel "Animal Farm", there is a small spark of rebellion in "Nineteen Eighty-Four". The situation is the same as the one that exists in "Fahrenheit 451" -- the exile against the whole system. Orwell wrote this way because this is how he viewed present society. The point of view is exactly the same -- the hated [pigs, politicians] are in charge, while the dumb illiterate mass [animals, proles] goes on in very much the same in its own ways, protected by its very stupidity. "Nineteen Eighty-Four" is written in such a desperate tone because Orwell realized that on such a construction the exile had no possible chance of winning."

An examination of the balance between maintaining law and order and the controlling of terrorism.
2,301 words (approx. 9.2 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that, in order to create a balance between terrorism and law and order, we must put into place certain limits, jurisdictions, and blocks that will ensure that governments cannot react emotionally when under terrorist attack. It argues that the law enforcement agencies should be allowed to act under global legislation and must be held accountable under the same.
From the Paper
"A suicide bomber in Palestine, a bomb blast in Spain, a government sponsored assassination by Israel, a sniper in the US, illegal detention of civilians under suspicion, in Cuba, a chemical gas attack in Japan are all examples of violence and yet, some are deemed acts of terrorism while others acts to contain terrorism. This blending of the two has become so complete that the world no longer knows when to protest and when to remain silent."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that as advances in technology and science sprint into the 21st century, the goal is for law enforcement agencies and government bodies to embrace international teamwork in conjunction with new technology as a means of eradicating organized crime. This paper endeavors to highlight how such a laudable objective may be achieved. The writer maintains that in the pursuit of combating organized crime little use can be made of technological advances if agencies throughout the world do not collaborate with solidarity and function as a cohesive and unified group. The writer concludes that in order to combat organized criminal activity a joint endeavor from international law enforcement agencies, in conjunction with the employment of technology used for the management and analysis of information should be pursued with assertion while each nation endeavors to respect laws and customs of independent nations.

Conclusion
From the Paper
" Governments throughout the world have been fighting organized criminal organizations for generations. As the organized crime groups have joined forces to increase their ability to beat the government, government and law enforcement agencies throughout the world must endeavor to join forces in order to intercept, attack and finally defeat the ever changing and growing industry of organized crime. A desperate need for greater political commitment from the governments of the world exists today. Sharing information, intelligence, strategies and resources from one agency to another is a must for international and domestic governments. However, this collaboration between various agencies must also extend to the obliteration of corruption that exists within governments at all levels. Government and political solidarity that will target and decimate organized crime across the globe is tantamount for the success combating organized crime and will act as a foundation for generations to follow."

From the Paper
"The mere mention of organized crime sends a chill through our people, and is a sometimes overlooked word that is always associated with television and movie fantasy. So the question still remains. How do we control organized crime? That will be the main topic of our research, and with empirical data and research, supporting articles and documents, and statistical research, we will work a theory on how organized crime may somehow be controlled. We must look at the big picture and how organized crime affects our society. We look at the picture and break it down individually to the very root of it. This question is a question that will always be asked of not only of our nation, but also of the international community. Organized crime is not only a prevalent issue in our American society, but also that of many other countries."

Controlling Health Costs, 2008.
This paper explores how the U.S. government has attempted to control rising health care costs.

Abstract
The paper looks at the introduction of Medicare and Medicaid, managed care and cost controls that have been utilized to lower healthcare costs. The paper argues that in order to achieve improved performance, the US needs to implement more effective strategies to measure health outcomes, ensure a higher degree of price sensitivity among purchasers and correct its administrative efficiencies. The paper maintains that the focus of legislators needs to be upon health as a value and on health priorities rather than on fragmented strategies for controlling healthcare costs. The paper includes graphs of Medicare and Medicaid statistics.
From the Paper
"The central problem with the US healthcare system appears to be related to perspective. Efforts to control costs have predominated over the delivery of quality health care. The goal of limiting government and private expenditures for health care while improving health outcomes results in health care productivity being a significant policy issue not only in the United States but across the globe. Although productivity is only one aspect of the performance of any health care system, improvements in productivity can make it easier to achieve other health system goals, such as greater access to care and protection from the financial losses resulting from ill health. Ever since the mid-1970s, the US healthcare system has been troubled with three major concerns: quality, costs and access (Odom & Garcia, 2005)."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at how power relationships between men and women are as old as man and woman themselves. The paper discusses how throughout history the balance of power has sometimes subtly, sometimes dramatically, shifted in favor of one gender or the other.
Outline:
Introduction
Men Still Rule the Roost
Women in Control
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Despite the struggles of generations of women, in America and many other parts of the world, according to feminists, women are still the oppressed gender. According to Arslanian-Engoren, there are still biases that marginalize women, and in fact, these biases are so significant, they negatively impact women's healthcare, resulting in healthcare disparities between men and women. Power and knowledge are not the same thing, however they are mutually dependent on one another. Therefore without knowledge, power cannot be initiated. Feminists theorize that it is man that holds the key to knowledge in society today; therefore, power naturally follows. Arslanian-Engoren notes that only by acquiring new scientific knowledge, in this case specifically concerning women's healthcare, and reframing the parameters of women's healthcare, can women strive to achieve a more egalitarian and equitable balance in the power relationship."

Costs of Organized Crime on Law Enforcement Resources
Thesis
Controlling Organized Crime
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Agents are eligible to retire after only just serving for 20 years. Therefore, not only does it cost to train new agents, but the government still maintains the pension of the retired agent plus free medical care. The fight against organized crime is costly in other ways, not just financial payrolls. There is the cost of an agent going undercover or deep undercover. In an undercover role, most investigations are a minimum of a 6 month assignment in order to make a solid case. This can be an extreme burden amongst those agents who have families. The undercover assignment of FBI Special Agent Joe Pistone who is credited with being able to penetrate deeply into the Bonnano crime family lasted approximately 6 years. It almost cost him his family because of the nature of the undercover assignment. Pistone was only able to maintain minimal contact with his family during this time because of how deep his cover went. He had to lead the life of a mobster. Since he now has a bounty on his head from the Mafia, he lives his life in the witness protection program. This can be an additional burden on a family because of constant moving and being unable to maintain contact with other family members. Pistone and his family most likely will have to live in the program for the rest of their lives due to the nature of how his investigation went."

Abstract
This paper discusses the changes in mass media especially television from the superficial shows like ?I Love Lucy? to the risqu? music videos on MTV. The author points our that we no longer have one view of what is acceptable in our increasingly diverse society, so instead we have rating systems and parental controls for the cable box. The author believes that the best answer in a society, which so values individuality and personal freedoms, is to be allowed to make up our own minds about what we and our children watch.
From the Paper
"Now, it seems, we have gone much farther. The first shows that broke the rules were praised. "All in the Family"received awards for confronting difficult issues. We still had superficial shows, but people could choose. Inevitably, some shows started testing limits. The show "Laugh-In" tested boundaries for language as well as content. Little by little, stronger language and more risqu?? situations crept into the content."
