Abstract
This paper explains that a new issue regarding concealed weapons has been created by states, such as Missouri, passing new loaded and concealed weapon laws that allow the great majority of the state?s residents to carry a concealed weapon solely because they want to. The author stresses that, even though the law forbids a concealed weapon permit from being issued to anyone under a certain age, having a protective order out against them, having a history of drunk driving or of felonies or violent misdemeanors, it is impossible to keep loaded, concealed guns from people who should not have them. The paper relates that an opposing argument is that the Second Amendment justifies allowing most people to carry weapons. Argument outline included.
From the Paper
"There is a large population of people, however, who do not yet have any criminal history but who might want a weapon for all the wrong reasons. Many bank robbers wait until after their 23rd birthday (the minimum age in Missouri) to rob their first bank. Many men and women who eventually become abusive spouses have committed no violence or stalking toward the opposite sex that early in life. A spouse who intended to keep an obsessive hold on another might well now apply for a gun permit before the other person had any cause to get a restraining order."

Abstract
This paper begins with an overview of the current state of the laws in the United States pertaining to carrying a concealed weapon and how these differ from state to state. It then looks at a history of these licensing laws. The writer then presents a personal view relating to handgun licensing and discusses the argument that concealing handguns deters crime. The writer then looks into at the state laws regarding gun licensing and presents some views opposing the carrying of a concealed weapon.
From the Paper
"The right to carry concealed guns is an unresolved controversy in the United States. While 28 states, allow non-felons to carry licensed concealed handguns unconditionally, 14 states give limited licence to carry handguns on showing the need and about 7 states prohibits the citizens from carrying concealed handguns, whereas the state of Vermont permits its citizens to carry them even without licence. In 1987, when the State of Florida first issued the ?concealed-carry? law for carrying handguns, its was a blow to the age-old belief that allowing public to carry concealed firearms would only heighten crimes in the society, and that a gun in a neighbor?s hand meant fear of violence or even death. However, since 1987 many states have followed suit in granting law-abiding citizens the right to carry concealed handguns for self-defence, and much to the surprise of gun control proponents the crime rate were found to decrease in most of the states. Though the proponents of gun-ownership present statistically backed claim that increasing gun-ownership eventually reduces crime, this is countered by gun-control proponents saying that such a correlation between gun-ownership and crime rate is erratic."

Gaza Pullout through Editorials.
This paper is a comparative analysis of political editorials from ?The New York Times? and ?The Dallas Morning News? on the subject of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon?s Gaza pullout plan.
815 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 29.95

Abstract
This paper explains that both papers discuss the ramifications of the pullout news to the security of Israel, as well as the success towards the peace that both Israel and Palestine have been trying to broker for many years already. The author points out that the editorial of the "Dallas Morning News" expresses the same ?mixed emotions? as the "New York Times" editorial had expressed; however, the editorial primarily expressed a positive attitude of Sharon?s Gaza plan as the first step towards brokering peace in a ?peaceful manner? between Israel and Palestine. The paper relates that, while the "New York Times" editorial has applied the issue in the context of the current state of terrorism and U.S. intervention to foreign policy-making, the author of "Dallas Morning News" editorial focused on Sharon?s ?realistic? resolve to end the conflict between the two nation-states.
From the Paper
"The print media has become an effective means to discuss important issues in the society today, especially with the prevalence of newspapers that cater to various audiences or readers today. Political editorials, in particular, serve as the people?s daily reference in knowing what is the political stand or position that the newspaper assumes given a particular current issue to discuss. These editorials, however, do not dictate to their readers what position or stand to take on an issue; rather, they serve as another viewpoint at which readers are able to think about the issue. In effect, editorials serve as additional information that lets people understand all facets of a social issue being discussed."

Editorials, 2002.
This paper is an examination of some of the issues surrounding journalistic integrity and editorials.
970 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 34.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper uses a 1999 article by George F. Will, ?Judicial Silliness,? that appeared in the Washington Post to form the basis of a discussion about editorials and journalistic integrity. The writer presents the different points about the case that are raised in Will's article. These include a summarization of the Judge's ruling in the case and the methods used by Will to challenge this ruling. The four arguments that Will uses are first analyzed individually and then assigned truth-values in order to assess whether or not they are actually sound. Using this method, the author is able to illustrate where and when Will's personal views influenced the logic he used in the writing of the editorial.
From the Paper
"The overall conclusion of the Will?s editorial is two-fold. Firstly, Will concludes that the parents of students at Bedford Central were silly to attempt to resolve what they perceived as problematic state of affairs through litigation (in both the extent of what they viewed as problematic, and the route taken to resolve the state of affair). Secondly, Will concludes that the legal decision handed down by Judge Brieant was also silly in his adjudication of the matter (specifically, how he choose to define what constitutes religion with respect to the First Amendment, and what constitutes academic freedom). On Will?s view, it was these respective silly acts that led to an overall silly state of affairs."

From the Paper
"Negotiations are a common part of everyday life. In any negotiation, each party wants to achieve the best possible outcome for himself. Some negotiations, such as where to have dinner or how to spend an evening, are informal. Other negotiations, such as pricing a car, buying a house or forging a union contract, are formal in nature and subject to many rules, regulations and laws regarding how they are conducted. This research examines the role that concealment and disclosure plays in negotiation, and considers when concealment should, and should not, be used.
At the heart of any negotiation is the issue of knowledge. The more knowledge that one party has about the other party's position, the greater the advantage.. If a person (or group) can find out the exact nature of what the other party in the ..."

Is Governmental Transparency Vital to a Democracy?, 2008.

Abstract
This paper looks at a New York Times editorial called the "White House Shell Game," which stresses the importance of transparent government. Specifically, the paper discusses why governmental transparency is important to any democracy and whether or not the editorial presents a persuasive argument for a more open style of governance from the Bush Administration. The paper also briefly summarizes the thesis of the editorial, its analysis of the problem, and its aim. In the end, the author asserts that governmental transparency is important - but the editorial's argument would have been more compelling if it was not so clearly motivated by political calculations.
From the Paper
"Consequently, the New York Times is right to chastise the Bush Administration for trying to avoid the (potential) censure of the public by trying to limit, to the fullest extent possible, the scope of the Freedom of Information Act. The problem with the Times editorial, unfortunately, is that there is a disagreeable amount of political partisanship involved: after all, the Clinton White House was notoriously secretive as well - that Administration was wracked by fund-raising scandals, the specters of Whitewater and Travelgate and other problems that were kept tightly under wraps - and no one can recall the New York Times aggressively challenging the commitment of President Clinton's team to open and transparent government."

From the Paper
"INTRODUCTION
The music publishing business faces a number of new challenges in the developing Information Age, as does the music business as a whole. These challenges include both threats and opportunities, depending on how the various companies involved respond and on how the industry as a whole shapes future legislation, technology, and even the mind set of the consumer. Music publishing has a lengthy history, beginning before the advent of sound recording and adapting itself to each technological change--sound recording, radio, television, the LP, tape recording, and the compact disk. The music business as a whole adapted to each of these changes as well, and the music industry and the music publishing industry have had a symbiotic relationship as each feeds the needs of the other. This is more ..."

Edward Albee's "The Zoo Story", 1973.
This paper discusses Edward Albee's play "The Zoo Story" as a parable of concealed violence.

From the Paper
"The Zoo Story" is essentially a parable of poorly concealed violence. Literally, Jerry has just come from the zoo, where he has made the decision which will govern his actions during the rest of the play. Less simply, the title itself suggests the ideas of the thin veneer of civilization which covers the animalistic violence just beneath the surface of man. In addition to this there is the additional inference that the title itself is meant to connote the isolation of man.
Cohn and Dukore write, "One of Albee's impressive achievements in this play is his soldering of the realistic and the symbolic. Classical mythology is evoked by Jerry's reference to his landlady and her dog as 'the gatekeepers of my dwelling' and to the latter as 'a descendant of the puppy that guarded the gates of hell or some such resort.'". The biblical imagery is ... "

"HIGH TIMES MAGAZINE
High Times magazine began publishing in 1974, and this glossy monthly is still being published by Trans High corporation, 235 Park Avenue South in New York City. It is unusual among the dissident media in that all of the attitudes and many of its departments have remained consistent.
The advertising department at High Times stated in a telephone interview that the paid circulation of the magazine is 237,411 and its pass-along circulation (a figure determined by the projected number of readers who will read each copy of the magazine) of more than 2 million. With that figure, the magazine asks and receives $12,000 for a full page color ad (Weisman, 1998).
The $12,000 figure is significant (or ironic, perhaps) since ..."

"Odyssey", 2002.
A review of Homer?s "Odyssey" with an emphasis on the theme of concealment.
891 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 31.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how Homer?s "Odyssey" deals with many themes and how one of the most predominant of them is that of concealment. It looks at how Homer employs concealment in a number of different ways and for the most part, each instance is done to aid Odysseus in his struggle to return home. It evaluates how concealment is basically a product of wit or knowledge and, for the purposes of this paper, it argues that Homer uses concealment to emphasize the knowledge of Odysseus, Penelope and the Gods. It also argues that Homer is asserting knowledge as the most beneficial and desirable attribute for an individual.
From the Paper
"Homer gives Odysseus the benefit of disguise for a couple of reasons. Firstly, because Homer has placed such tremendous odds against Odysseus?s favor. There are nearly fifty suitors, and only Odysseus and Telemachus to contend against them. Homer knows that physical strength is not enough for his hero to win back his household, so he instills in Odysseus certain wittiness, or cleverness. The act of concealment is essentially a means of showing that Odysseus was smarter than his opponents. By doing this, Homer creates a better-rounded image of Odysseus. Not only his he mighty in strength and knowledge, but he is also clever. He can outfight and outwit any man, and this is why we see him fit to be a true hero."
