The paper portrays how it is comforting for Westerners to see this kind of terminal disaster as something that happens to other people and that has nothing at all to do with us. However, as the paper shows, the point is that it has everything to do with us.

Abstract
This paper describes the current humanitarian crisis in Darfur. It explains that there are many reasons why the international community should become involved in this terrible situation. One is that we have a moral obligation to do so and another is that there is a need to set an example to the Khartoum government, that genocide is not acceptable. Finally, success in Darfur would gain the United States and other countries that came to Darfur's aid, a political reward of having another democratic nation as an ally. This paper explores all three of these reasons.
From the Paper
"This humanitarian crisis should not turn into a political pawn to be used by the Bush Administration, however. The U.S. has been known for many decades to promote peace in Sudan, so of course the Bush Administration wants the same credit. Peace is not being achieved right now, and the U.S. government needs to acknowledge this. Booker and Colgan write, "The Administration had hoped that such an agreement would allow it to lift sanctions on Sudan. This, in turn, would permit US oil companies to pursue a share of the country's recently developed oil wealth. Such interests, however, cannot be allowed to compromise a larger moral obligation." "

From the Paper
"James H. Cone, in Martin & Malcolm & America: A Dream Or A Nightmare, presents the thesis that Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, for all their perceived personal and political differences, were leaders whose vision of America and its racial problems were growing increasingly close to one another. This is not to say that if the two men had lived longer they would have advocated the same philosophies and policies, but it is to say that there were many areas where their visions were complementary rather than contradictory:
Integrationists and nationalists complemented each other. Both philosophies were needed if America was going to come to terms with the truth of the black experience. Either philosophy alone was a half-truth and thus a distortion of the black reality in America."

Toyota's Recall Budgetary Nightmare, 2007.
A look at the financial issues concerning the Toyota company's need to recall cars due a technical problem.
948 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper addresses how financial managers manage an organization's need for cash investments. It explores the sources, advantages, disadvantages, and structuring of these investments. In particular, it identifies a need for Toyota to finance a massive recall for multiple models due to premature steering problems. Toyota needs approximately $925 million in order to take care of the full cost of this recall.
From the Paper
"In the wake of 2005's recalls, which outnumbered Toyota's sales in the U.S. by about 200,000 vehicles, the company installed some stricter quality mandates internally. Another company would have moved on, but Toyota reviewed its service plans, made a public apology and hired 8,000 new quality engineers. Still others believe that with a quality gap that is closing rapidly between the "Big Three" made products and Asian automakers, Toyota somehow manages to keep its image as the essence of quality."

Ebola: The Waking Nightmare, 2005.
An overview of the spread and effect of the deadly Ebola virus.
2,033 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 64.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the Ebola virus is quite possibly the most deadly virus known to man, how there is no known cure, and the origin has yet to be discovered. It provides information on what we do know about the killer out of Africa and what we can come to expect.
From the Paper
"The nature of viruses is to replicate and, like any parasite, in order to replicate they require a host. Due to this requirement, the virus's goal is not to kill its host. Ebola is like any other virus in this respect; its ultimate goal is not annihilation but replication. Nonetheless, due to its volatile nature, Ebola ravages any body that it comes in contact with and has evolved to jump quickly in order to avoid its own destruction (Ebola can only survive independently without being frozen or crystallized for ten days). Its protein structure is unlike any other that scientists have ever encountered. Like all viruses, it is made up of RNA strands wrapped in proteins."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the roots of modern anesthetics may be traced back to the 19th century, with the successful isolation of cocaine from coca leaves. The writer points out that one type of amino amide that is far less toxic than cocaine is bupivacaine, which was eventually synthesized in 1963. The writer maintains that the long-lasting anesthetic effects provided by bupivacaine have been shown to cause cardiovascular toxicity at relatively low serum levels that are approximately the same as levels that cause toxicity in the central nervous system. The writer then discusses issues related to toxicity caused by the bupivacaine including reactions, prevention and resuscitation techniques. The writer concludes that the research supports possible clinical interventions using lipid infusion in the treatment of cardiac toxicity due to exposure to bupivacaine.
Outline:
The Development and Use of Bupivacaine
Toxic Reactions Associated with Bupivacaine
Case Studies Detailing Toxicity Associated with Bupivacaine
The Prevention of Bupivacaine-induced Toxicity
Bupivacaine and Positive Cardiovascular Effects?
Resuscitation Techniques Following Bupivacaine Intoxication
Lipid Infusion as Resuscitation for Bupivacaine Toxicity
From the Paper
"Overall, bupivacaine is considered to be among anesthetic agents that are more likely to cause states of cardiotoxicity. In animal studies, bupivacaine was demonstrated to be four to sixteen times more likely to cause cadiovacular toxicity than lidocaine. However, bupivacaine will continue to remain as a primary local anesthetic agent used by clinicians, which indicates a need for knowledge and awareness as to how to most effectively treat toxicity when it arises."
"Clinicians must adhere to proper dosages of anesthetics and correct sites of administration in order to reduce chances of the occurrence of toxicity. More recently, research has yielded the development of anesthetic agents that have reduced toxicity in comparison to bupivacaine."

From the Paper
"This paper will discuss nightmares as an abnormal behavior, using the guidelines provided in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental Disorders, third edition, revised (DSM-III-R). According to the classifications in DSM-III-R, there are three categories of "parasomnias," or abnormal behaviors during sleep. These are sleepwalking, sleep terror, and dream anxiety disorder (recurring nightmares). In dream anxiety disorder, the patient has frequent nightmares which generally present "threats to survival, security, or self-esteem". These nightmares usually occur toward the end of the sleep cycle, when the patient is engaged in rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep. An important feature of dream anxiety disorder is the fact that the patient usually becomes quickly oriented upon awakening and ... "

Abstract
Nightmares are one of the most common sleep disturbances in young children. This paper compares the two forms: the more familiar nightmare, in which the child wakes up and remembers what the dream consisted of; and night terrors, in which the child often wakes up terrified and screaming, but does not remember the dream that triggered the terror.
From the Paper
"In a nightmare, the child is awakened by the bad dream and can tell the parent what happened in the dream. The themes typically center on the child being in danger or helpless. Often in the dream, the child has to escape from a wild animal or monster. Some experts also think that scary television programs or movies may contribute as well as separation anxiety."

Toxic Mold and Employee Health, 2006.
A review of the dangerous effects of toxic mold.
3,375 words (approx. 13.5 pages), 12 sources, $ 133.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how mold in the workplace, and in any business, is a serious concern that affects indoor air quality and possibly employee health. Toxic mold has been linked to numerous illnesses and ailments, including respiratory problems and neurobehavioral and pulmonary impairments. The paper further discusses that although many molds are not harmful, the presence of toxic mold, which emits mycotoxins into the air in an indoor environment, can be dangerous. This is especially true where individuals already have an allergy or sensitivity to them.
From the Paper
"Toxic mold is thought to contribute to Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), possibly causing symptoms in multiple users within one affected building. Employees in a "sick building" are more likely to develop SBS because of long-term or frequent exposure to toxic mold, creating problems for employees and employers alike. Prevention is the best way to avoid mold-related health concerns. "

Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive and scholarly overview of nightmares, how they affect our consciousness, and an assessment of whether they are affected by people?s inner psyche or by the society and culture in which they live. Includes an extensive summary.
From the Paper
"According to John F. Moffitt, the common meaning of nightmare (?a frightening dream?) is frequently evoked in the use of such dreams in 18thg century Gothic fiction where ?they are often prescient. [...] In its sense of a distressing or disturbingly prescient dream, the nightmare is a common device in Gothic fiction, where it also refers to a state between sleeping and waking, or indeed, death and life [and] nightmares have a particular place in what might be called the mythology of the Gothic imagination, for alongside the nightmares in the text, there are those which mark its beginnings? (2002:173)."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the dire issue of toxic pollutants and government intervention. According to this paper, world governments are not doing enough to combat this serious problem.
From the Paper
"A series of proposals had been made at the time, based on the moral demand that encompassed Agenda 21. Offering greater financial support for developing countries, building home institutions for greater national protection capacity and an appropriate legislation, increasing the role of the indigenous people, of women, and the young generation in order to ensure a wider range of action, these were just some of the guidelines for subsequent follow ups. The Commission for Sustainable Development was therefore created to ensure a better coordination of measures at global, regional and national level. The 2002 Summit generated the further statements of principles, along with reaffirmed efforts to "promote the integration of the three components of sustainable development -- economic development, social development and environmental protection -- as interdependent and mutually reinforcing pillars" (Johannesburg Plan of Implementation). Thus, actions should be followed in order to ensure poverty eradication, changing patters of consumption and production, protection of natural resources. The institutional framework is also outlined, including additional emphasis on the future role of "relevant United Nations agencies, programs and funds, the Global Environment Facility and international financial and trade institutions" (Johannesburg Plan of Implementation).
