Abstract
A description of how the doctrine of containment expanded from a solely European initiative to include the entire world. This paper discusses the Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, Korean War and the Chinese civil war.
From the paper:
"In February 1946, a sixteen- page cable, sent from Moscow to Washington by a staff officer in the American embassy, first introduced the idea of containment. George Kennan?s ?long telegram? and subsequent ?Mr. X.? article in Foreign Affairs in July 1947, concluded that the Soviet Union, left unchecked, would expand into the power vacuum created in Europe after World War II. To prevent all of Europe from coming under the reign of this militaristic dictatorship, Soviet influence needed to be ?contained? within its current boundaries."

"By bringing together both literary studies and cultural studies, as well as political economics, political science, feminist theory, sociology, and the chasm that is taking place between low income inner city areas and large metropolitan business centers Sassen is able to show many things about the global economy and its importance. Many of the common misconceptions regarding globalization are taken on in these essays which are not all original but have a great deal of insight. It provides a very provocative look at the global society and how it is increasing."

Abstract
David Rees examines the Cold War in the 1945-1965 period. He therefore especially focuses on the Korean War, which represented the main symbol of the containment doctrine. Rees explains why the United States created the policy of containment and what motivated the government to apply this policy to Korea. In 1950, the United States applied containment in Korea in order to repulse the North Korean military offensive across the 38th parallel. Rees goes into depth explaining why the United States decided to alter its objective from the containment of North Korea to its liberation from Communist rule. Overall, Rees gives a sympathetic portrayal of U.S. policy in the Cold War, arguing that the containment doctrine was justified.

Abstract
This paper explains that medicine is thought to be a profession that has lost its way, a system in which economics is now the bottom line governing treatment decisions and not the traditional value of beneficence. The author states that the research methodology will be a self-administered questionnaire to 50 recipients of health care and 50 health care providers to gather feedback relating to the effects of cost containment and opinions regarding the current system of health care spending. The paper relates that the research also will contain a survey of the health care practices in five countries, including the United States, Japan, Canada, Germany, and Britain.

"When done right, cost containment will actually improve the quality of health care. Scientific justification can be utilized to ensure that people needing treatments get them. Accessibility to quality care services for everyone will be broadened. Universal coverage will also ensure that insurance agencies don?t avoid providing insurance to individuals with higher needs or greater risks, and ensure that cost shifting and risk avoidance are minimized."

Abstract
This paper describes the U.S. policy of containment and follows it from its inception just after the Second World War to the end of the Cold War with the fall of the Soviet Union. It looks at the different policies that in themselves helped to make up the policy of containment, such as the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan. Also, all of the major conflicts in which this policy was employed are examined along with the ramifications of its employment. The paper spans seven presidencies and examines how the policy changed and adapted to the changing domestic attitudes of the time and the outlook of the president at the time.
From the Paper
"With a change in the administration came a change in how the Cold War was fought and how the policy of containment was adapted to the contemporary political environment. The Kennedy/Johnson years of 1961-69 were characterised by a 'flexible response strategy' and Kennedy's 'New Frontier' strategy focused on two things, MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) and the battle for hearts and minds and the capabilities of the Third World. The highpoint of the Kennedy administration and of containment under his administration was the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, where the fate of the world was balanced on a knife edge during the heated confrontations and negotiations between Kennedy and Soviet premier Khrushchev.

Abstract
This essay examines the policy of containment of communism its context and evolution during the Truman administration in the late 1940s, as well as policy alternatives that were presented to this strategic doctrine both inside and outside the US administration. The paper argues that the eventual form of the Truman containment policy owes as much, if not more, to the complex political struggles within the United States as to any grand strategy of international relations or to the actual actions or policies of the Soviet Union.
From the Paper
"The Policy of Containment 1946-1949: Its Context, Evolution and Policy Alternatives Both Within and Outside the Truman Administration Introduction In the wake of the Second World War a new form of warfare made its appearance in global international relations: Cold War. While there exists wide disagreement among scholars regarding the ultimate origins of the Cold War, the so-called "Truman doctrine" of containment represented a critical contribution to the elevation of hostilities between the one-time Second World War allies, the Soviet Union and the United States."

From the Paper
"The doctrine of containment of the Soviet Union, first set forth in detail in a celebrated article by George Kennan in the late 1940s, was the essential strategy of the United States during the Cold War era. In its most essential terms, containment as a doctrine argued that an ultimate confrontation with the Soviet Union was neither inevitable nor necessary; that if the United States and its allies could hold their ground and buy time, that would in the end be sufficient.
Events, indeed, have borne out Kennan's argument. Well into the 1980s, the Cold War still appeared as though it might persist indefinitely. But from 1985 on, the Soviet system collapsed from its own internal tensions, nearly bloodlessly and indeed all but effortlessly. A final confrontation did indeed prove unnecessary; containment succeed in its objectives, albeit after.."

From the Paper
"Henry Kissinger (1994), in his book, Diplomacy described President Harry Truman's policy toward NATO and the Warsaw Pact as "Containment" (424). Truman favored American membership in a European Coalition to be called NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) in order to stop the spread of Russian Communism into western Europe under the Warsaw Pact (formed in 1955). His policy was a radical departure from Franklin Delano Roosevelt's concept of "Four Policemen" which would have monitored relations in Europe (Kissinger, 1994, 424). Peter Duignan and L.H. Gann (1994) also sing the praises of the Truman Doctrine in their book, The United States and the New Europe: 1945.1993. Like Kissinger, these authors believe the Truman Doctrine was a magnificent, visionary, foreign policy initiative which utilized a minimum of military resources, coupled with massive economic aid, to resist the spread of .."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the critical problem facing healthcare facilities and organizations of providing quality care and services while at the same time maintaining very limited budgets. The paper points out that cost control and management can only be accomplished through innovative cost containment methods and effective data analysis related to facilities expenditures, operating expenses, and overhead expenses, and then makes recommendations for achieving these ends.
From the Paper
"One challenge that healthcare facilities face is the wide diversity of services provided by various facilities. No two healthcare providers is alike, and expenditures vary greatly from one facility to the next, based on the type of services offered to patients, equipment utilized and cost containment mechanisms in place within a facility. A blanket solution to cost containment is not therefore, possible within the world of healthcare because facilities vary so greatly in the services they provide. Thus each situation must be examined uniquely and separate from other competitors, in order to develop solutions that meet the need of a particular venture."

From the Paper
"American foreign policy from the end of the Second World War until the collapse of the Soviet Union consisted of two related aspects. The first of these was a basically military one, and the second, derived from the first was economic in nature. The economic aspect was to establish a cooperative integrated world order with the United States as its leader. In order to achieve this the Americans used the military aspect that was a policy of containment. The physical prevention of the spread of Communism throughout the world by military action as stated in the Truman Doctrine of 1947, and first seen in Greece immediately after the end of the war."

Abstract
After bank failures during the Great Depression, and following the several "panics" that occurred in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the American government has taken an active role in regulating the thrift industry.
From the Paper
"After bank failures during the Great Depression, and following the several "panics" that occurred in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the American government has taken an active role in regulating the thrift industry. Reckless?s model is then compared to other ?control? models of crime and these control models are then compared to a set of related but differing rational actor and social learning models of crime. Finally, both control theories and social learning theories are placed within the broader psychological literature on human cognitive development. The purpose of this discussion is to bring to light the underlying assumptions of a model as well as to assess the usefulness of different established models to current criminological theory.
Reckless?s ?containment? theory of crime falls loosely into the ..."

Abstract
In 1996, the United States Department of Education mandated laws that required school districts to create inclusive programs to integrate students with various disabilities into the general school population. However, a study conducted by the National Council on Disabilities in 2000 showed that most school districts have not transitioned into full mainstream classes. Instead, an estimated 20 percent of children with disabilities continue to spend their schooldays in self-contained classrooms, apart from the general school population. This paper shows that proponents of the self-contained classroom, however, believe that such settings can be advantageous, particularly for students with hearing impairments, mental retardation. and those with physical or learning disabilities. The paper examines how students in total or semi-self-contained classrooms can benefit from instruction in art, music, and physical education. It looks at the challenges of teaching such classes and how educators have adapted techniques from existing programs and created their own class material. In the conclusion, this paper makes recommendations on how educators can successfully design and implement music, art, and physical education programs that address the unique developmental needs of their students.
From the Paper
"As an example, Shapiro and Sayers discuss the case of Rachel, a seven-year-old girl whose impaired motor skills cause low cardiovascular endurance, lower muscular strength and difficulty in manipulative control skills. During her physical education programs, Rachel was taught to use assistive devises such as weigh machines to help develop her posture. An occupational therapist used various blocks and toys of different textures to help Rachel develop a better ability to grasp, reach and release things (Shapiro and Sayers)."
