Abstract
This paper explains that Marin argues how society itself contributes to this marginalization due to the fear of breaking the status quo. The author points out that society itself is the primary factor that serves as the catalyst for homeless people to be displaced and labeled as a nuisance. The paper relates that Marin wrote the essay in response to a Santa Barbara court?s decision to ban homeless people from sleeping in public places in the town at night.
From the Paper
"Whatever social attention the homeless people receive from the society is certainly a negative feedback about these ?nuisance and vagrants?: ?Hundreds of them turned out for the meeting? and castigate them? It was the power and depth of the emotion revealed: the mindlessness of the fear, the vengefulness of the fury? the actual homeless men and women, might not have existed at all.? Utter rejection and negligence in the part of the society to solve the problem of homelessness is one of the main reasons why the perception that the homeless are dangerous prevailed in Marin?s society, and continues to prevail until today."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Basilica of Saint Peter in Rome reflects the acts of Saint Peter, serves as a model for all the great Churches in Italy and provides a deep historical and religious framework for Christianity. The author points out that Saint Peter is one of the most significant icons of the New Testament. The paper notes that the first Basilica of Saint Peter, finalized in 324 and which was designed in the form of a cross, became worn through the ages and reconstruction was inevitable. The author explains that reconstruction of the new Saint Peter's Basilica, begun in 1503, involved Donato Bramante, who implemented a Greek style cross design, followed by Antonio da Sangallo, who added the Baroque features to the interior, Michelangelo, who contributed his awesome dome, and Bernini, who designed in 1667 the square directly outside the Basilica.

From the Paper
"Jesus christened Peter with the name, Cephas. In translation, Cephas means 'The Rock'. The inference of this name clearly describes the role that Saint Peter played as a primary leader during Jesus' life. As a disciple, Peter witnessed a great deal of miracles and promoted the salvation of Christianity through example. Along with apostles James and John, Saint Peter remained close to Jesus and advised him on many issues. Peter was present for many of Jesus' trials and miracles, documented as the main apostle at Jesus' transfiguration, the revival of Jairus's daughter from the dead and the Agony of the Garden of Gathsemane."

Abstract
This paper deals with hate crimes in America , the nation?s response to the concept of the hate crime, and what measures are taken to prevent them. The author includes explicit historical references in the paper regarding anti-Semitic, racial and homosexual prejudices, etc.
From the Paper
"Prejudice is an omnipresent force, evident in civilizations throughout history. People naturally fear that which is different and unusual. Prejudice manifests itself in many forms, an innocent assumption, vulgar graffiti, offensive language, and even assault. It is when a crime becomes motivated by prejudice that it becomes a hate crime. Over the past few years, the nation has experienced an alarming number of disturbing and sometimes deadly hate crimes. The dragging death of Africa-American James Byrd, Jr., in Jasper, Texas; the deadly attack on Matthew Sheppard, a gay student in Laramie, Wyoming; the shooting rampage targeting minority citizens in Chicago; and the shootings of children at a Jewish community center in Los Angeles, California, followed by the murder of Joseph Santos Ileto, a Filipino-American mail worker. All of these events have left a trail of dead or wounded victims and traumatized, horrified communities."

Peter the Great, 2002.
This paper discusses the achievements of Peter the Great (Peter I).

»

Abstract
This paper discusses the life of Peter the Great especially his role in building the Russian navy. The author starts by describing the strength of the Swedish navy and how Peter I conquered them. The author believes that the building of the Russian military, especially the navy, was testament to the will of this one man, Peter I, who with his genius, foresight, courage and charisma dragged the Russian world into the Age of Enlightenment.
From the Paper
"In a concentrated effort no less fantastic than the U.S. response to Pearl Harbor in World War II, the Russians under Peter's dynamic leadership created a navy in every sense of the word. Not only did they build a fierce contingent of warships and galleys over the next several years; but also they developed the strategy and the strategists that would make best use of the new Russian naval instrument. By the 1720's, the Russians, not the Swedes, would have control of the Baltic. They would keep control of it for the better part of the next two centuries."

Abstract
A review of public policy issues surrounding homelessness, including history, Internet research and interviews with homeless people in a shelter in Cambridge, MA. It also discusses the lessons that can be learned from the moderately successful Massachusetts programs of the early eighties, and the lack of public interest in this issue, especially elite public interest.
From the Paper
"Homelessness was first addressed in the early 1980?s in reaction to the visibly increased homeless population, but interest has steadily decreased since government action was initially taken over a decade ago. In reevaluating public policy options, it is important to examine the causes of the problem and delegate authority to those best suited to solving it. Lessons can be learned from the moderately successful Massachusetts programs of the early eighties, but in order for that pluralistic model to work, public interest must be created by an elite source."

Should Hate Be Outlawed?, 2005.
This paper argues in favor of outlawing hate, due to the reason that it leads to hate crimes.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 3 sources, $ 26.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that since hate is an undesirable quality in human beings, it has been questioned by some whether or not it should be outlawed. The writer points out that such hate can lead to hate crimes. This paper discusses whether or not hate should be outlawed, taking the position that it should be outlawed because hate leads to hate crimes.
From the Paper
"Since hate is an undesirable quality in human beings, it has been suggested by some that it should be outlawed. A more legitimate reason for outlawing hate is because it leads to hate crimes. As a result, more and more hate crime legislation has been enacted throughout the country recently. In his book, 'Criminal Law', Peter W. Low writes that, "One of the interesting questions to play with...is what it is that makes criminal law unique". The unique thing about hate crimes is that they are so vile. Indeed, they should occupy their own niche in the area of criminal law in which a 'hate crime' would be a charge is levied in and of itself, in addition to the parallel crime.

Abstract
This paper discusses the legal debate surrounding the issue of free speech and hate speech and how the First Amendment's implications regarding this topic lack clarity and, therefore, are subject to numerous interpretations. The paper also looks at how college campuses have attempted to handle the problem of hate speech, examines some Supreme Court rulings on hate speech and hate symbols, and includes an overview of arguments for and against the use of hate speech laws and codes.
Constitutionality of Hate-Speech Laws and Legislation
College Campus Hate-Speech Codes
Fighting Words; Hate Symbols
State Interest in Regulating Hate-Speech
Arguments for and Against Such Laws and Codes
First Amendment Protection of Unpopular or Offensive Speech
Sentence Enhancement for Bias Motivated Crimes
Supreme Court Handling of Hate-Speech and Hate Crime Issues
From the Paper
"Interpretations of the First Amendment are at the center of the legal debates about free speech and hate speech. Like many articles in the Constitution, the exact meaning of the first amendment and the implications it had for the founding fathers are unclear. It provides a general orientation for federal action, but just how it is to be made operational is open to discussion. The conclusion reached will depend on the overall interpretive framework one uses. These frameworks, in turn, will merge into one's political and social philosophy. For example, at the time of its adoption, many thoughtful people believed that government should not prohibit the publication of one's views but could and should punish some writers for the harmful effects of such publication. This view, while plausible, is not the dominant interpretation at the present time."

"HATE SPEECH/HATE CRIMES
This research paper reviews and analyzes the constitutionality and other public policy aspects of efforts by governmental authorities and universities to deal with hate crimes and hate speech directed at ethnic, racial and other minority groups in the United States. Laws, ordinances and university codes enacted to counter hate crimes and hate speech involve fundamental questions of public order, free speech and equal protection under the law. In almost every instance in which the constitutionality of such measures have been tested in the courts, they have been found to be in violation of the free speech clause of the First Amendment. Only very narrowly drafted laws and codes stand much chance of surviving constitutional challenges to their validity. Such measures are evidence of a.."

Abstract
This paper describes the various hate crimes that take place throughout the U.S. on a regular basis, focusing particularly on the state of New Jersey. The paper also describes some of the legislation that has been enacted in an effort to fight hate crimes and discusses the need for even harsher laws for curtailing such crimes. The paper further explains that the present hate laws are ineffective as a deterrent and, therefore, are not helpful towards solving the problem of hate crimes. Finally, the paper outlines a plan for curtailing hate crimes that would include proper training for members of law enforcement in how to recognize and respond to hate crimes, the creation of a multi-agency task force on hate crimes, and sufficient state and federal funds for fighting hate crimes.
From the Paper
"Cross burning is one of the hate crimes that occur in the state of New Jersey on the regular basis. Cross burning can, in fact be traced back in history right up to the time of the infamous 'Ku Klux Clan', which was a group of people who were dedicated totally to the perpetration of hate and bias related crimes on minorities, mostly African-Americans living peacefully in that state. According to an eyewitness of the cross burning carried out outside an African-American's house in new Jersey, "Few things can chill free expression and association to the bone like night-riders outside the door, and a fiery cross in the yard". (O Say! Can you see: Free expression by the light of fiery Crosses) An African-American couple, Russ and Laura Jones, started to experience trouble with so called 'skinheads', as soon as they had shifted their place of residence to St.Paul, in Minnesota. They were, in fact, the only Blacks living in that all-white neighborhood, and this was indeed a neighborhood that was known for its racist culture and its hatred of blacks."

Along with the general history, specific Marines who made an impact in the Marine Corps history are also discussed as well as why their contributions were of significance.
From the Paper
"The Mexican-American War was fought between 1846 and 1848 in a dispute over the modern day central plains/ west coast region. The annexation of Texas was seen as an act of war by the Mexican government and hostilities began. Marines fought on both the Pacific and Gulf coasts seizing Mexican seaports and halting trade to diminish their economy and prevent them from re-supply. General Scott and the U.S. Marines came to Chapultepec Castle where the last stand took place. Scott and the Marines bombarded the fort for two straight days and charged in on the third. The occupation of this Mexican stronghold signified the end of the Mexican-American War. The historic value of the war comes from the Marines raid with General Winfield Scott on their attack into the "Halls of Montezuma", also known as Chapultepec Castle, which has been immortalized in the opening line of the Marines hymn.

From the Paper
"We constantly see and hear about homelessness, even in our own communities. Homelessness is a growing problem throughout the world, but many of us do not understand how huge the issue is. Homelessness is defined as a condition of people who lack regular legal access to adequate housing (MSN Encarta). In 1999 there was up to 100 million homeless people in the world and in 2000 there was about 3.5 million homeless people in the United States (How Many People Experience Homelessness?, 2002). At least 600 million people live in shelters in developing world cities that are life threatening or health threatening (100 Million Homeless in World). About 50,000 people die everyday as a result of poor shelter, polluted water and inadequate sanitation. The things that cause homelessness throughout the world help bring it into our own communities."

Homelessness in Toronto, 2007.
This paper examines homelessness in Toronto within the context of the different definitions for the term "community" and proposes ways to reduce homelessness in this city.
1,725 words (approx. 6.9 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 55.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the homeless community can be seen as a community because they are people trapped in a common cycle from which they would like to escape, with common interests in finding shelter and adequate food, which often compels them to act in unison performing petty crime as a means of survival. The author points out that, if the burgeoning homeless problem in Toronto is not addressed, then the community of Toronto will start to see an increase in crime and movement out of the areas populated by homeless people thus creating impoverished pockets within the city. The paper recommends that funds, which have been earmarked for homeless shelters and other programs should be spent rather than be languishing somewhere because of bureaucratic red-tape. The author suggest that this money should be invested in re-training programs and the conversion of brown fields areas into affordable housing condominiums for the working poor.
From the Paper
"Toronto's homeless situation can also be looked at by looking at Marxist definitions of what a community is - or, more precisely, what it is not. For instance, those academics who subscribe to Marxist theory maintain that communities are manifestations of the class dialectic; in other words, communities are organized in such a way as to ensure the exploitation of some by others at the same time as they reveal the inequalities present in a capitalist society. While this assessment of the community can be dismissed as unduly cynical and extreme, there is little doubt that Toronto is a city of extremes."

"The findings of research in an Iowa study states that of those who are homeless in the State of Iowa 60% of those are children. While this is enough to suggest critical research needs, state as well are findings that in areas of the state that are rural, non-metropolitan areas, the group of homeless are comprised of larger percentages than in metropolitan areas homeless population. Obviously, this area of research has been overlooked by researchers in this field and that is the research with its' primary focus the homeless children of rural and non-metropolitan areas of the United States."
