Abstract
This presents the causes of the Black Death and explains how it was able to spread so far and so quickly. It also discusses the immediate and long-term economic, social and cultural consequences of the Black Death, in late medieval England. The paper shows how the causes, spread and the various consequences of the Black Death were all related to new trends in population. The paper includes an annotated bibliography.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Causes
The Spread of the Black Death
Immediate Consequences of Black Death
Long-term Consequences of Black Death
Conclusion
From the Paper
"At the heart of the Black Death are changes in population trends. Those changing trends such as urbanization, emigration, and new trading structures caused the Black Death. The same trends also caused the conditions which produced many economic, social, and cultural changes. The greatest economic consequence of the Black Death was an improvement in the standard of living. However, villeinage was just as much strengthened. The greatest social consequence was the reduction in population. Out of the Black Death came a new secular culture that was focused on state building (Cohn 738). The entire social and economic history of late medieval England was determined by the Black Death."

From the Paper
"Green plants represent the primary food source for a large portion of the worlds living biota. Many plants reproduce sexually and require pollination agents to ensure genetic diversity and other adaptive advantages through cross-pollination. During the search for nectar, pollen, oil, or mates, pollinators transfer pollen from male anthers to female stigmas and hence perform pollination (Cane, 2001). Due to co-evolution among angiosperms and pollinators, many primary pollinator- plant relationships are highly specific. Therefore the health of ecosystems and agriculture worldwide depends on pollinating services performed by particular pollinators. In recent decades human activates have decimated biodiversity in many different species-rich groups, including invertebrates (Cane, 2001). Declines have been recorded in many groups of pollinators including: insects, bats, birds and mammals. This decline represents less frequent flower visitation, gradual decrease of seed and fruit production, and reproductive losses in additional taxa within the community and could eventually disrupt community function (Cane, 2001)."

War: No Justification for the Consequences, 2006.
A discussion regarding war and its consequences.

Abstract
This paper discusses how war has been waged for thousands of years, dating back to ancient civilizations like Greece, Macedonia, Hittites, China, the Three Kingdoms etc. The paper reports that through the years, warfare has evolved. With the invention of gunpowder by the Chinese around 300 - 650 AD, and the introduction of smokeless gunpowder in 1886 by Paul Vieille, war has quickly become a means for countries to extend their borders and influence friends and neighbors alike through strong arm tactics. The paper goes on to discuss how there is never any action without consequences but throughout history, leaders have always been more concerned with the outcome of the conflict than with the consequences of their actions.
Outline:
Introduction
CONGO: Africa's First World War
Middle East: War-A way of Life
Conclusion
From the Paper
"War and the Middle East have had an ongoing love affair for centuries now. Dating back from the Ottoman and Persian Empires to modern day Iraq and the Palestinian territories, conflicts on a grand scale have existed there. Today, the focus is on the Palestinian and Israeli conflict and the devastation caused by both sides. With the lack of a modern day military Palestinian militants have adopted a brand of guerilla warfare, with suicide bombers killing themselves, along with innocent Israeli civilians, in the name of Allah. On the other side you have the Israeli military, arguably the best trained military in the world, conducting military campaigns across the border in hopes of destroying the militant infrastructure. This conflict has been going on for years and there seems to be no end in sight. "

"The Economic Consequences of the Peace".
This paper reviews "The Economic Consequences of the Peace" by John Maynard Keynes, written in the immediate economic aftermath of World War I.

Abstract
This paper explains that "The Economic Consequences of the Peace" is an important text for understanding Keynesian philosophy as viewed in an international, as well as a national perspective and to understand Keynes from the point of view of his early development as a economist. The author points out that these proposals were unique and radical solutions to the conventional assumption that the loser of a war must be economically ravaged in reparation for its ills. The paper relates that Keynes believed that the existence of the "Great War" debts was a menace to financial and political stability everywhere; therefore, the debt must be forgiven, contrary to conventional economic wisdom at this time.
From the Paper
"Another key aspect of later Keynesian theory was the need for maintaining economic infrastructures, rather than breaking them in revenge, and that cash infusions in the short run reap dividends for all in the long run. Keynes always took a long term rather than a short-term view of economic policies. The current policies against Germany only satisfied short-term emotions, but could cause long-term economic destruction of a major power and thus injure the world."

Abstract
This is a paper discussing the consequences of rape. Included are the psychological problems after experiencing rape and jail terms for each of the different degrees of rape. It shows how awareness has changed as recognize that rape is not a sexual act but a criminal act of violence.
From the Paper
"By law, rape is ?the crime of sexual intercourse without the consent of the victim, often through force or threat of violence?(Rape pg). Statutory rape is the rape of a victim who is ?deemed legally incapable of consenting if she or he is known to be mentally incompetent, intoxicated, drugged or below the age of consent at the time of the rape? (Rape pg). Although, traditionally rape is a term applied to male sexual force upon a female, revisions have been made in many jurisdictions to include the possibility of a male victim. For years, issues concerning rape and the law have been debated in the United States. However, efforts by feminist groups have been successful in expanding victim?s rights, such as the removal of statutes that required rape victims to physically resist attackers (Rape pg). In the past, rape victims were required to show signs of injury in order to prove they had not consented to sexual relations. Another reform has been making marital rape a crime in many circumstances. In 1975, South Dakota was the first state to enact such law reforms. Since the 1980?s, date rape, the rape by an acquaintance, has become a very important issue, especially on college campuses, although, guilt is difficult to establish (Rape pg). Rape is a world wide problem and leaves profound psychological effects upon the victims."

Abstract
According to the writer, the basic cause of the war between Saddam Hussein's Iraq and the Allied Coalition led by the United States was Iraq's armed seizure of Kuwait in early August 1990. The paper traces the history of this occupation, then discusses the consequences which are explained in the paper as a military triumph by the United States and its allies and the removal of a serious threat to their vital interests.
From the Paper
"A more immediate reason for Iraq's invasion of Kuwait was Iraq's financial situation at the end of the Iran-Iraq war. Iraq had prevailed against Iran largely because of financial assistance from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the other Gulf emirates. According to Hiro, Iraq emerged from the war with foreign debts to non-Arab nations of about $50.5 billion (three times its GDP), plus Gulf loans and credits of another $45 to $55 billion, including a debt to Kuwait of $14 billion. Iraq's ability to repay these debts was hampered by the declining world price of oil. At a series of meetings among the leaders of Arab countries in early 1990, Saddam Hussein demanded relief from this debt burden in form of lower oil production by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait which had exceeded their OPEC production quotas and tens of billions of dollars in cash payments from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the other Gulf states. At the final meeting between Iraq and Kuwait on July 31, 1990, Friedman said he demanded "$10 billion plus some territory and drilling rights." According to Friedman, the August 2, 1990 invasion was the equivalent of "a debtor canceling his debt by robbing the bank.""

Abstract
This paper explains that Deborah Prothrow-Stith and Michaele Weissman?s in ?Deadly Consequences? find that most teenage violence derives from feelings of anger and aggression, which can end in violent death. The paper emphasizes the role of guns, gangs and adolescence itself. The author underscores the books proposal that a public health model similar to the one used to stop smoking be used to better control teenage violence.
From the Paper
"Adolescence is itself a difficult period in the life of a person, and it is filled with many threats and dangers which are only exacerbated in a violent society or social setting. The authors believe that there were numerous releases operating in the past that reduced the amount of anger felt by young people, and, of course, society itself was not so stressful or violent. The authors refer to one young man who found release in sports, though the authors ignore the more general effect sports in America may have on increasing aggression and so increasing violence. The authors note that the dangers in society are even greater for young black males, who consequently are a near-endangered species. The growth in the drug trade has to be cited as a major reason for much of the violence, both because the use of drugs reduces certain inhibitions and increases the possibility of violence and because those in the drug trade are ruthless in pursuing their business."

From the Paper
"The minimum-wage debate has become a continual topic in the 55 years since Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the law that put a floor under wages Business, backed by most economists, believe that raising the minimum wage destroys jobs by forcing employers to scale back hiring. Proponents of minimum-wage legislation point to people who have toiled in minimum-wage jobs, receiving the same hourly wage for the past 19 years despite inflation, and how difficult it is for these people make ends meet.
As the Clinton Administration prepares a new campaign to raise the minimum wage, the debate seems to be shifting to a point in the middle. While the Administration admits that a higher minimum wage could hurt employment growth temporarily, it ... "

Abstract
This paper gives a detailed explanation about how the European imperialism started and how it exploited the resources and people of both Asia and Africa. The paper also emphasizes on the outcome or after-effects of imperialism in Europe, Asia, and Africa.
From the Paper
"For four hundred years, the world has been quite aware of the European imperialism. Examples of European imperialism were found not only in Europe but also in other continents as a result of outward European expansion. The word Imperialism was basically invented during the mid-nineteen century when the age of autocracy was on the rise. Imperialism has led to multiple effects of globalization and multiculturalization in the modern day Europe."

From the Paper
"In his book, Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences, John Allen Paulos uses the term, "innumeracy" in the same way that the term illiteracy is used: to represent an unfamiliarity and ignorance in terms of numbers and mathematics. Besides being well written and entertaining, the book is also informative in explaining common instances of mathematics in everyday life.
Paulos does not confine his discussion only to one aspect of numbers and mathematics. His book is replete with examples of statistics, probability and mathematics. He suggests, for example, that we develop a "safety index" for certain activities or events which would provide the populace as a whole with a quantitative way to evaluate their activities. While such an idea may seem farfetched, it illustrates an idea which occurs .. "

Abstract
An analysis of the spiral motif in Vertigo, beginning with a close look at suspense and terror. Establishing suspense as the main source of fear in the film, this paper gives a detailed examination of how spirals create suspense through repetition of scenes, settings, and character obsessions, followed by a summary of other spiral effects in the film (Scottie's hallucinations and vertigo). A careful look at the characters, and the spiral nature of their identities, including a look at how the characters interact and force the action of the film towards destruction.
From the Paper
"Beginning at a single point and spinning outwards, the curve of a spiral never hits the same point twice, but the pattern that it follows is always identical. Spirals form the dominant image in Alfred Hitchcock?s Vertigo, beginning in the opening credits with the spirals appearing in the close-up of a woman?s eye. All of the slight details, from Carlotta Valdes? hair to the repetition of clothing, point towards the spiral as a major theme, and the physical spirals direct the viewer?s attention to the repetitions in plot and character. Alfred Hitchcock introduces a spiral motif that permeates all aspects of Vertigo and drives the action towards its inevitable conclusion, but suspense is created as all attempts to break the spiral are thwarted and all hope for happiness fades."
