From the Paper
"In the writing itself, a common problem that eliminates some grants from consideration is a poorly focused and poorly written research plan. Although they have extensive education, the investigators writing up this information for the grant writer, or being interviewed about it by the grant writer, may be unaware that precise language is necessary; otherwise, there might be miscommunication that will eliminate the proposal from consideration. One case in which a grant was not obtained involved a researcher in a medical subject who wrote that ?lightly anesthetized animals? would be used in the study. Some reviewers misread the intentions and thought that the animals would be inadequately anesthetized and would therefore suffer mistreatment. That application was rejected on ethical considerations without even being reviewed."

Grant and the Civil War, 2004.
Examines the character and military career of American Civil War general, Ulysses Grant.
3,490 words (approx. 14.0 pages), 12 sources, APA, $ 98.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The American Civil War had amazing leaders. General Robert E. Lee, for the Confederates, was a gentleman?s gentleman, brilliant tactician, and wonderful human being. On the other hand, General Ulysses Grant, the leader of the Union Army, won decisive battle after battle and made the overall outcome of the War possible. The paper shows that General Grant, who rode his popularity in winning the war to the White House, remains to this day, a much maligned figure. It is true that his presidency, while not plumbing the depths of the presidencies of Warren Harding, William Harrison, or Andrew Johnson, did not set any standards for leadership. The paper shows that what remains hidden and often distorted is the fact that Ulysses Grant left behind a spectacular legacy of martial generalship. This work explores Grant?s role and personality against the backdrop of the Civil War with his achievements and shortcomings.
From the Paper
"Historically however, Grant has been portrayed more as a caricature than his vast accomplishments merit. Revised history is slowly beginning however, to turn the tide in favor of Grant?s numerous qualities. One of the biggest faults brought up against him were that of drinking, with the allusions that his drunkenness were somehow related to the injudiciousness that he displayed on the battle field, especially with the soldiers. Statistically, battles that Grant was involved in resulted in the loss of more Union soldiers in very short periods of time. This earned him the unfair moniker of ?Butcher.? It is true that the Union army's casualties at Shiloh were appalling, but so were Confederate losses. (Wakefield, 1999)"

Abstract
This paper discusses why the war on drugs is a failure - from a financial standpoint, prison overcrowding standpoint and a drug education and prevention standpoint. The writer explores solutions to these problems that could save money, solve the prison overcrowding problem and discusses new education techniques.
From the Paper
"The unofficial war on drugs began roughly in 1972, when Richard Nixon was president. Since then, the war on drugs has grown drastically. It was militarized during the Presidency of Ronald Reagan (roughly 1984), and the budget for the war then began to soar. Government agencies formed for other purposes became involved in the war on drugs, which of course, raised the budget for the war on drugs even further. At last count, the United States' Government budget for the war on drugs reached the 17 billion dollar mark (Office of National Drug Control Policy, 1999). When spending reached 17 billion dollars in 1999 on the failing war on drugs, it had ?Democrats [including IL Rep. Jan Schakowsky] question[ing] whether more dollars. . .[was] the answer to the U.S. drug scourge. ?Is [this] the first in a series of blank checks in a war that has no. . . end game??? (Lytle, 1999 ). High spending on a war that has only claimed to have confiscated three percent of all incoming drug shipments last year on an already high budget (16 billion last year), does not need more money (Check, 5). It is time to think about re-structuring the war on drugs and taking a different viewpoint. Forget pouring money into the only aspect of the war that we can never win, and re-direct our efforts at the aspects of the war that we can win. The current strategies in dealing with the war on drugs simply do not work; thus, the failure of the war on drugs is evident on many levels. In terms of a financial standpoint, the war on drugs has cost more than we can afford. Also, prisons have become overcrowded and because of this, sentences are often reduced in order to make room for new incoming drug offenders. Many drug education programs have experienced mass failure."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the domestic and international drug and terror war reform. he paper attempts to illustrate the link between the war on drugs and the war on terror, explaining that these are becoming a unified, global dilemma. The paper presents a policy proposal that will improve investigation and prevention techniques used internationally and domestically, with the goal of decreasing drug trafficking in countries also known to be high terrorist breeding grounds.
From the Paper
"Throughout the years numerous policy attempts have been made to subdue the threat of terror as well as the global drug problem; however combined efforts have fallen short of achieving their goals. This, in part has to do with the accompanying factors to global problems such as; current events, the media and constituent's beliefs. These all weigh heavily and influence the agenda of policy makers and administrations. After September 11, 2001, the democratic world was shaken and the true threat of terrorism was unmistakably evident. This created a global demand for justice against Afghanistan's Taliban regime, claimed to be protecting Al-Qaeda, the organization responsible for the terrorist acts. Now, there are new actors in the realm of mass terror, and this includes Columbia."

Bibliography
From the Paper
"Because drugs are illegal, their cost is astronomical, providing enormous profits to those engaged in the business of importing, exporting and selling drugs. There is no question that legalization of drugs would put an immediate stop to this rich source of economic gain. Legal drugs could be sold at a reasonable price to those who choose to use them, and the illegal drug community would not be able to compete."

Abstract
Gives a critical analysis of "the war on drugs". Through examination of the history and present motivations of drug laws, this paper argues that the reasons behind drug criminalization are invalid. The paper also shows that the current law enforcement approaches are ineffective in dealing with the drug problem.
From the Paper
"The illicit drug problem is seen as a paramount concern within all western communities and is clearly the source of some of society's most major public health issues. The so-called "War on Drugs" is given unprecedented resources in the area of law enforcement and often headlines our major media outlets. The reasons for our community seeking to criminalize drug use will be explored in the following essay by tracing drugs laws to the original sources of public concern and exploring how community concern has evolved since. It will be shown that the original notions that are the basis of drug criminalization have been flawed from their inception. Furthermore it will be illustrated how current and past drug laws have been completely ineffective in achieving the aims that society has sought to achieve through drug criminalization."

Abstract
This paper argues that much of the hatred for narcotics stems
from media horror stories and alleged scientific research which paints drug usage as the culprit in issues ranging from crime to poverty to deteriorating mental and physical health. Now, the latest attack stems from government officials who are working to establish a sinister link between drug trafficking and terrorism. The paper presents a research design to assess the similarities between the American government's two declared "wars" and whether the results of both wars have justified the costs.

From the Paper
"For my second objective, I will examine the long-speculated connection between the illegal drug trade and terrorist organizations. I will determine whether the evidence suggesting such a connection is credible. If the evidence is deemed as flimsy, what justifications might the government have for promoting such a connection? Money, fear, and intimidation are suggested factors for endorsing a connection between drugs and terrorism. I will assess these accusations and develop a theory about their justification."

From the Paper
"Scheduling occurs according to certain criteria that are applied to drugs according to their medicinal value, harmfulness, and potential abuse or addiction to the drug. There are five schedules, of which Schedule I is assigned to the most dangerous drugs with the least medicinal value, with Schedule II-V being applied to drugs with decreasing danger and increasing medicinal value. Schedule V would then include the least dangerous of the drugs."
