Abstract
The paper discusses the issue of curfew, its practice around the U.S. and whether New York City should implement a youth curfew. The paper's final analysis endorses the idea of a curfew as one step in preventing an increase in juvenile crime.
From the Paper
"Curfew Laws for New York City: Argument in Favor of a Curfew Law in New York City. Curfew laws are regulations which specify the hours that certain age groups must remain off public sidewalks and streets or in other public spaces. Most, but not all American cities, have some type of curfew laws in place. Such laws are generally intended to keep juveniles off the streets during certain hours, generally late evening and early morning, for their own protection and to prevent or retard juvenile crime."

Abstract
This paper examines how current juvenile curfew programs have shown success but not enough to be accepted as statistically significant on a national level. It looks at how studies have shown that there is a correlation regarding the implementation of juvenile curfew measures although current studies have not been able to establish their relationship with juvenile crime and victimization directly. It argues that though the success of curfews has limited statistical support, it should not be dismissed either as an option and how, if implemented correctly, they can contribute well not only to the prevention of crime but also in the development of values among minors.
Outline
Introduction
Hirschi's Social Control Theory
Implementation of Curfews
Issues Raised
Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to Lundman, the enforcement of curfews is in line with the deterrence theory that states that "certain, swift, and severe punishments" will cause juveniles to rationally weigh consequences and commit fewer criminal acts (1993, p.150). The objective is to protect children from being exposed or to engage in crime and delinquencies. Juveniles are viewed as being both susceptible and vulnerable to these offenses and may lack the maturity and experience to successfully deal with the situations (Hemmens & Bennett, 1999). The objective of curfews is not to restrict minors but rather to regulate their activities so that their lifestyles follow the model of behavior for their age (Ruefle & Reynolds, 1995)."

Comparative Worth, 2007.
An analysis of the pros and cons associated with the practice of comparative worth in the workplace.

Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of comparative worth between males and females in the workplace. It suggests that comparative worth is a good starting point for understanding how to create gender equality in the work place. The writer of the paper presents his opinion that there are many different factors that go into the wage decision calculus and that relying upon comparative worth alone is flawed. The paper discusses these assertions.
From the Paper
"In the final analysis, comparative worth is an idealistic strategy to gender equality in application to wages within the workplace. However, the actual implementation of such a system requires not only a strong criteria for judging comparative worth, but also a complete shift within the organizational and financial planning of a company. As a result, it is extremely difficult to implement on a widespread basis. Creating a clear standard by which to understand and frame comparative worth is the first essential step for HR managers to attempt to implement such a policy on a large organization wide level."

Abstract
The paper offers reasons for supporting juvenile curfew laws. The paper explains the two purposes of these laws and presents arguments for and against them. The paper concludes that the curfew laws are important because of the message they send.
From the Paper
"An Argument in Favor of Juvenile Curfew Laws. Juvenile curfew laws laws that establish a time of day or night when juveniles are forbidden to be on the streets unaccompanied by an adult and subject to arrest if found by authorities, are designed for two purposes. First, as Lee F O'Brien noted, these laws are meant to reduce the possibility that juveniles will commit crimes or victimize others, secondly, these laws are meant to protect juveniles from victimization."

Teenage Driving Curfew Laws, 2008.
A persuasive essay on the benefits of the teen curfew laws in the state of Virginia.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the teenage driving curfew laws in Virginia that were enacted to help save lives and keep teens off the road at the most dangerous times for drunk driving. The paper believes the curfew is a good idea because it helps save lives and makes people more aware about driving under the influence, along with making parents more aware of their children's activities. The paper brings evidence that supports this assertion and contends that the laws should be expanded to combat the still prevalent number of auto accidents that account for teen deaths in Virginia.
From the Paper
"Studies indicate that teenage driving curfews, such as the one in Virginia, help save lives. A national Web site geared to teen driving notes, "Each year, motor vehicle crashes claim almost 42,000 lives, cause millions of injuries, and cost more than $150 billion in damages. Motor vehicle crashes are not accidents. They are the result of bad decisions and risky behaviors" ("Virginia Licensing Laws"). These laws may seem domineering and controlling, but studies have shown that teen driving curfews do work, and that they can reduce teen deaths after they are implemented. Virginia, along with a few other states, have some of the toughest teen driving laws in the country, and a study by the Insurance Institute shows that "fatal accidents among 15- to 17-year-old drivers dropped 19 percent between 1992 and 2002" (Mussenden) in these states."

Article: Karen Gugliemo's 'Is Offshore Outsourcing Worth the Loss of Jobs?', 2008.
An analysis of the failing economics of international technology job markets in "Is Offshore Outsourcing Worth the Loss of Its Jobs?" by Karen Gugliemo in 2007"Tech Target--CIO".

Abstract
This paper explains that the basis of Gugliemo's article 'Is Offshore Outsourcing Worth the Loss of Its Jobs?' reflects the growing economic disparity that is occurring at the domestic level in the United States and in Canada. The author points out that her research indicates the growing exponential rate of American and Canadian jobs that are being exported over to third world countries have greatly lowered wage rates, threatening the middle class in North America. The paper relates that another factor is the policy making-leverage that America wields over most third world countries supplying technology job markets in the global market. The author underscores that, since many of these jobs are being provided to economically impoverished countries, there is a marked disadvantage not only to the workers being exploited in these countries but also to the workers on the North American continent. This paper includes long quotations.

Summary
Discussion
Analysis and Critique
From the Paper
"In Gugliemo's article, the issue of a vanishing middle class is a dangerous idea for native North American technology workers. When companies continually find that they can outsource jobs without government regulation, the country will find itself in a crisis. While the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, where does the middle class go? Certainly, they would find themselves in the majority of the poor, which can constitute a real danger of stability in the country. Throughout history when the middle class is a missing link between the rich and the poor, civil strife will most likely ensue."

Abstract
The paper reviews and analyzes "What's Worth Knowing" by Wendy Lustbader, a geriatric social worker who met many people of the older generation and wrote a book based on the experience they gleaned in their eighty or so years of living. The paper shows how the book uses ordinary individuals to make up stirring recollections.
From the Paper
"The book captures the pulse and flavor of the individual contributors; every one of the single-paged accounts reverberates with a spirit of great generosity and sincerity. A short, stirring biographical note and sometimes a photo accompanies each story. In her book Lustbader asks, what factors make life superior? Moreover, how do we live it? What do we know now that we wish we had known when we were young(er)? What advice would we give a young(er) person just starting out in life? Has anyone in our life taught us a valuable lesson? What was that lesson? If we could live our life over again, what would we do differently? What would we keep the same?"

Abstract
This paper reviews "How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth" which gives the layman an introduction to evangelical Christian Biblical hermeneutics. In their discussion of the Bible, authors Gordon D. Fee and Douglas Stuart give special stress to the literary qualities of different sections of the Bible and the uniqueness of different Biblical genres. The authors attempt to provide clarity to debates whether the Bible should be taken literally within the evangelical community, stressing that genre is key to understanding how literally certain passages should be understood. The paper concludes by stating that this book is a good introduction for ordinary believers who wish to learn more about the original context of the Bible.
Outline:
Introduction: Summary
Summary: Issues Addressed
Summary: Major Themes
Analysis: Point of View, Ideological and Implicit and Explicit Perspective
What Kind of Evidence do they bring to Support their Viewpoint? Is it Adequate?
Analysis How Clear is the Argument? Does it Flow Logically? Are there Gaps, Inconsistencies, or Contradictions in the Discussion or Argument?
Conclusion: Of what Value is Book? What Does it Add to the Discourse?
From the Paper
"The book combines Biblical criticism with modern theology, but with a stress upon using the background of the Bible for today's spiritual community with an understanding of how the Bible applied to its original context. The book also includes advice on choosing a translation, acknowledging that most persons are not fluent in the original, now dead languages, of the original texts. When offering suggestions about selecting a translation, the authors prefer such works as Today's New International Version of the Bible, which includes gender-neutral language when referring to human beings. They believe this most appropriate for Christian communities today, given the social changes that have occurred in the world since the document's original authorship to an ancient audience. "

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, 2002.
A study of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) of the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport with an emphasis on security issues.

Abstract
This paper performs a SWOT analysis on Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and evaluates the results. The author finds that since the September 11 2001 attacks, airport security now costs four times what it did previously. With these rising costs, he finds that it is more important than ever for operations managers to stay abreast of their market positioning. They must constantly try to increase their revenues by attracting more passengers and increasing the number of flights. In order to do this, they must perform these SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats ) analyses to make better decisions based on solid facts.
From the Paper
"Successful airport management depends on several factors to remain competitive. First, the cost of supplies is on a continuous rise, as well as items such as fuel, utilities, and the cost of maintaining the planes. Airports are subject to several market risks as well, such as general economic conditions, events, which drop the number of passengers, and environmental factors that may cancel or delay flights. Airports are subject to increasing risk from ever-tightening EPA regulations and stiffer FAA regulations. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, airports were under incredible strain due to shaken consumer confidence in flying."

From the Paper
"Schuler reports that the statistics addressing the levels at which women and minorities are paid clearly demonstrate inequity. That is, female- and minority worker-occupations tend to garner wages and salaries that are consistently lower than in those occupations that are dominated by "White" male workers. Moreover, for those women and minorities that do somehow gain entrance to those occupations dominated by "White" males, there is the tendency to earn less on the average than their "White" male counterparts At issue here, as the topic of this research effort, is whether true worth can be established for jobs by workers who perform comparable duties; that is, can comparable worth become ingrained in public sector personnel ...

Bio Ethanol Fuel: Not Worth The Cost, 2009.
An argument that the costs of using bio ethanol fuel far outweigh the gains.
1,818 words (approx. 7.3 pages), 13 sources, MLA, $ 58.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that the large-scale diversion of food-crops towards bio-fuels is an ill-advised move that could have catastrophic consequences against little gain. The paper reveals that the large-scale diversion of food crops such as corn for producing ethanol has resulted in sky-rocketing food prices around the world. The paper also discusses the indirect effects of producing ethanol that arguably results in greater emission of carbon-dioxide as large forested areas, particularly in the Amazon, are cleared for growing crops. The paper argues further that corn-based ethanol is an unviable proposition, mainly because the ethanol would anyway only fulfill a minuscule amount of the total gasoline requirement in the country. The paper therefore concludes that producing corn-based ethanol is simply not worth the human suffering and environmental damage it can cause.
Outline:
Rising Grain and Food Prices
Effect on the Amazon
Corn-based Ethanol is Unviable
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Barely a couple of years ago bio ethanol fuel was the undisputed 'darling' of environmentalists and government policy makers alike. It was being touted as a clean and renewable alternative to fossil fuels that would tame the galloping oil prices, cure the United State's 'addiction' to imported oil, and control the on-going global warming threatening the world's environment. The overenthusiastic proponents of bio-fuels had obviously not catered for the unintended consequences of an untried policy. The large-scale diversion of food crops such as corn for producing ethanol has resulted in sky-rocketing food prices around the world, and precipitated the worst food crisis in decades."

Abstract
In the early 1990s, many American cities used youth curfews to combat juvenile crime, and at the time, civil liberties groups opposed the measures as indiscriminate restrictions on the free movement of innocent and guilty alike ("Young Criminals: Early to Bed").
From the Paper
"In the early 1990s, many American cities used youth curfews to combat juvenile crime, and at the time, civil liberties groups opposed the measures as indiscriminate restrictions on the free movement of innocent and guilty alike ("Young Criminals: Early to Bed"). Curfews have been instituted even more widely since then, with varying results. Curfews are also used to combat specific kinds of problem, as when cities use curfews to address a local gang problem or the prevalence of young drug dealers on streetcorners. Curfew restrictions are popular in some areas and unpopular in others, popular with the older generation and unpopular with the younger. They have been effective in some situations and not in others. An analysis of the issue suggests reasons for the disparity.
Curfew restrictions extend back many years, and one of the ..."

It looks specifically at merit based pay, standardized testing, and school safety as three of the primary forces shaping American education today. It concludes that the trends in each are leading to a stifled education system that is responsive to the 'bottom line' rather than to the individual student's needs.

Is Homeland Security Worth Our Civil Rights?, 2002.
Are we really safer or is it just an illusion?

Abstract
In this paper, the author addresses questions that are being asked everyday by American citizens about homeland security. It asks whether the new policies developed in the wake of the 9-11 attacks are really making the country safer or whether they are just measures taken by the security forces to make the population feel safer.
From the Paper
"Homeland Security was created as national effort to prevent terrorist attacks with the United States. It is used to reduce America?s vulnerability to terrorism, while maintaining hope of minimizing the damage and recover from attacks that do occur. But according to a recent poll conducted by Gallup Organization ?Only 13 percent of Americans say they have confidence that the new department will make the nation ?a lot? safer. Nearly 4 out of 10 Americans expect that the new department will not make the country any safer. "

School Uniforms: Are they Worth the Fight?, 2006.
A review of the debate regarding school uniforms.
1,379 words (approx. 5.5 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 46.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes a look at the issue of school uniforms. The paper reviews the pros and cons of wearing uniforms and discusses various opinions. The paper concludes that school uniforms are not the answers to the problems with public school systems.
From the Paper
"Some people feel that school uniforms give a sense of equality. This may partially be true, but it is also giving students the idea that "since we can not get along when we are different, we are going to make you all the same". Life is not uniformed. This may make children not be as ridiculed in school, it may blur the lines between economic and social class, but it will only be temporary. Students need to realize that they are expected to get along with everyone regardless of whom they are or where they came from. When a student who has had uniforms all through elementary and middle school get to high school or college and then out in the real world, they are going to be in for a rude awakening. Not everyone is the same. We are all equal under the law, but we are not all equal in economic class, social class, and history. We do not need to pretend that life is fair and everyone gets the same things and the same treatment. Sadly enough life is not like that. "
