Abstract
This paper explains that, in the 1993 film "Malice", although everything appears to be normal, the audience soon finds that not far beneath the superficially polite exterior of all the main characters there exists an unconscious and barely controlled subsurface of jealousy, anxiety, sexual insecurity and narcissistic greed, all common plot elements of the generic suspense thriller. The author points out that the thriller genre deals quite blatantly, with what Freud referred to as the resurgence of the repressed id, over and against the demands of society in the form of the externally imposed superego. The paper relates that, when the ego of repressed characters such as Andy, becomes threatened by loss of control, especially in the sexual sphere, it utilizes what Freud called defense mechanisms in an increasingly desperate effort to protect itself from the ever-increasing demands of the id.
From the Paper
'The two main male characters do not escape censure in the film, however. About midway in the film, Dr. Hill is described by another character as possessing a "God complex," which is not a psychoanalytic term in itself but which, in this context, implies someone possessed with an exceedingly strong form of narcissism, an individual trapped to some extent in an infantile phase of development and thus subject of his own libidinal impulses. In the film, this complex is narratively depicted as being not only self-destructive, but destructive of the other characters around Dr. Hill."

From the Paper
"In the film Absence of Malice (Sydney Pollack, 1981), a number of ethical issues related to the actions of the American press and to the abuse of police and investigative powers on the part of the government are raised, along with certain personal ethical issues involving personal relations among the characters. While the primary focus of the film seems to be on press abuses, overzealous government prosecutors are given considerable attention as well.
Cynicism is the mark of both journalists and government agencies in this film, and actions are guided by this attitude. Each of these groups has the underlying attitude that it is on the side of the angels and that whatever it has to do to control crime and report the facts is acceptable. Legality and ethical behavior are confused in the thinking of many in this film. The ..."

The 1993 Health Care Plan, 2002.

Abstract
This paper will take a detailed look at the 1993 health plan and concentrate on the effects it had on the insurance industry. The prevailing sentiment among insurance companies was that the 1993 was unequivocally 'bad' for their business. After six years of lobbying and the application of economic pressure, insurance companies feel that the 1999 reforms are a step in the right direction after the botch-job launched in 1993. In brief, the paper will show what happened in 1993, how health care changed as a result of the 1993 plan, how insurance companies reacted to the plan, whether or not insurance companies acted rationally (i.e., is there economic support for their negative reaction?), and how the present situation meshes with the insurance companies' recommendations for change. .

Relation to terrorist attack of 9/11. Details the various investigation activities of the FBI, and ATF. Charges against Muslim fundamentalists. Compares legal response of 1993 to 2001.
From the Paper
"On February 26, 1993, a bomb planted into the parking garage of the World Trade Center shattered the foundation of the towers, killing five people and injuring 1,042 others (Wallace, 1993, p. 42). The specter of terrorism was resurrected eight years later with the irreversible destruction of the twin towers on September 11 this year. Both terrorist attacks are the work of Islamic fundamentalists who were resentful of U.S. ascendancy and its role in the Middle East.
The purpose of this paper is to delve into the U.S. federal response against the terrorists in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The investigation of the crime, the prosecution of the defendants and the results of the trial will be discussed. In addition, the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center will also be considered in the light of the September 11 attack."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the Great Mississippi River Flood of 1993, also known as the Great Flood of 1993, is considered unparalleled in magnitude, extent and impact and was possibly the costliest and most devastating flood to ever impact the U.S. The paper reveals that fifty deaths were reported and the total damage cost was estimated at $20 billion. The paper looks closely at the damage sustained by the land, plants, birds and animals.
From the Paper
"This record flooding occurred from May to September 1993 across North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin and Illinois (Larson 1996). Its magnitude and severity were so overwhelming that the Flood ranks as one of the greatest natural disasters to hit the US. Around 600 river forecast points in the Midwest were above the flood stage all at the same time. It affected almost 150 major rivers and tributaries. Fifty flood deaths were reported (Larson). Causes or factors of the Great Flood were attributed the saturation of soils and increased stream levels in the fall of 1992, the snowpack in the central US, heavy rainfall in late March, the saturation of the northern ends of the Missouri River and an unusually persistent weather pattern from June to early August (Larson)."

Abstract
This paper introduces the topic, provides a review and discussion of the events that preceded and followed the actual terrorism event in 1993. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"People in the United States have enjoyed the isolation which the Atlantic and Pacific oceans provide them. Even during the height of World War II, the closest that the Axis powers came to bringing the war to American shores were some ineffective rice-paper balloon bombs, carried by the Trade Winds, which did little or no actual damage. Ever since the Civil War, wars have been fought somewhere else, on someone else's homeland. That is why Americans were so shocked when the World Trade Center became the target of terrorist attacks in 1993. What was not known at the time, however, was the actual intent of the terrorists to bring down both of the primary World Trade Center buildings in a cloud of cyanide gas which was designed to kill thousands of people. The fact that "only" six people died has nevertheless caused many Americans to firmly link Middle Easterners with terrorism, and the effects of the 1993 bombing continue to influence U.S. foreign policy today.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) was designed to help those individuals who need to care for either a close family member with a serious medical disorder or to assist employees when a serious medical condition arrives without notice.

The paperalso relates the process by which an employee can use FMLA leave. The paper concludes that the success of this legislation has led many states to pass similar acts.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Leave Entitlement
Maintenance of Health Benefits
Job and Benefits Protection/Restoration
Notice and Certification
Illegal Acts
FMLA Case Examples
Conclusion
From the Paper
"As is the case with many federally-backed laws, the FMLA includes a number of items that are required by both parties. First, an employer is not allowed to "interfere with, or deny the existence of any right provided" by the FMLA. In addition, an employer is not allowed to "discharge or discriminate against any individual for opposing any practice or because of involvement in any proceeding related to FMLA," meaning that employers must adhere to all anti-discrimination laws within the United States."

From the Paper
"The conflict between Kampuchea, or Cambodia, and Vietnam dates back to the late 1970s, though tensions between the two regions date back centuries to earlier wars and incursions on both sides. The present conflict came about in 1978 when Hanoi launched an offensive with twelve to fourteen divisions and three Khmer regiments, a total invasion force of 100,000 people. The Vietnamese units crossed the Cambodian frontier in five spearheads, initially directed into northeastern Cambodia. It is believed that in concentrating its forces in this way, Vietnam may have had several objectives. One may have been to capture as quickly as possible substantial expanses of Cambodian territory which had earlier been a spawning ground for the Khmer Rouge in the late 1960s. An early occupation would also have preempted ... "

From the Paper
"Since the breakup of the Soviet Union into individual nations, the region's economies have undergone severe changes. Centralized planning and state ownership of nearly all factors of production has given way to increased privatization. The region has witnessed some individuals who have made sizable profits as a result of the new policies, while other individuals have seen their standards of living decrease. The result is that the various nations are scrambling to establish monetary and fiscal policies that can help the various nations emerge from the 70 years of socialism and centralized planning into a new era. In the early years of the 1990s, the region witnessed high levels of inflation, economic disruption and upheaval, and increased scrutiny by outside economic forces, including the International ... "

Dystopian Films, 2008.
A discussion of the political ramifications of technology's depiction in dystopian cinema.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines dystopian cinema, which tends toward the political disposition that the empty indulgence and selfish wastefulness of capitalism are contributing to a lifestyle and eventuality in which these excesses instigate a breakdown of civil order. The squalid and ecologically devastated landscape of the dystopian future is not necessarily the product of Armageddon, but rather the result of a more eventual descent into self-destruction. According to the paper, technology and human mechanization give visual manifestation of our worst qualities, such as our callousness, hubris and malice, with the reflection in technology ultimately not functioning as a critique of science but of man. In the dystopian view, technology is an unwieldy man-made monster, a product of our inclination to subvert nature in service of our collective ego. The paper concludes that the terrifying vision of the dystopian school of cinema is of such political importance because it utilizes science fiction to de-mythologize the fantasies of our technological ambitions, instead representing a hyper-real future where our progress cannot undo our destruction.
From the Paper
"Ultimately, though, the technology that is so horrifying in the dystopian portrayal of the future is only the device through which suffering is delivered. It is not the cause of the human condition as a cursory interpretation would suggest. Where the dystopian impulse takes its initiative is not in the collective advancement of technological prowess or even in an overindulgence in the conceits of mechanized and automated convenience. It is instead the far larger set of vices with which we currently engage our world that such philosophical perspectives derive their vision of a post-apocalyptic 'desert of the real.' Technology is a vehicle to our undoing, to be certain. But it shares space with violence, over-consumption and a blur between the lines of morality and reality as paths to the unraveling of civility."

A majority of American employers have been complaining for years that any type of family and medical leave bill would send them reeling into bankruptcy. With the enactment of this law, many employers are now complaining more loudly about the Act may portend for the future--such a mandatory paid leave and paid daycare--that about problems that may be ...
