The People who will be Saved - "Make known among the nations what He has done" (Isaiah 12:4)
Long term Vision: What Would it be Like if Everything God Desires for the People of Darfur were to Blossom in the Next Twenty-Five Years?
From the Paper
"The Christian Mission should develop many partnerships, to ensure that it can be truly effective in the long term in this area. Suggested partners would be the UN World Food Program, the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Doctors Without Borders, the U.S. Agency for International Development, Amnesty International, the International Crisis Group, and the World Health Organization. The Christian Mission can in fact learn from these partners, as many of them are already well aware of the extreme health and other problems in the area that need to be addressed. In addition, the Christian Mission should be aware of a rapidly growing movement advocating for humanitarian intervention in several countries. People and organizations that are part of this movement can be approached as sources of funding to help the Christian Mission achieve its goals in this region."

Abstract
This paper responds to several topics related to the war in the Darfur region of the Sudan, noting that the conflict in Darfur began in 2003 and involves an ongoing battle between a militant Arab group called the Janjaweed and the non-Arab peoples living in the region. The paper discusses how Sudanese government has been supporting the militants, though it pretends it is not. The conflict is described in the West as an example of "ethnic cleansing" or genocide.
From the Paper
"Many of the thousands of deaths have been caused by starvation and disease, however, and not as part of a policy of extermination. Almost two million people have been displaced from their homes and have become refugees, many fleeing to neighboring Chad. The American government sent Colin Powell to see the refugee camps in Darfur in 2004, and he testified to Congress that genocide was being practiced there."

Outline:
Introduction
New Missionaries
Not a Competition
A More Quiet Missionary
Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are those who have alleged that the Anglican Church has forgotten its missionary responsibility In fact, quite the opposite is true; the Anglican Church acknowledges more than ever the need for missionary work; it acknowledges, too, the new approach to missionary work in that that mission is accomplished better today through deeds than a high profile visibility that serves to agitate and instigate violence. "A globe hangs from the ceiling of the church's two story entrance. Beneath it there is a miniature lighthouse urging members to 'share the light.' "The Wheaton Bible Church hasn't forgotten its missionary work, it, like so many other missionary organizations reaching out to the world today, just goes about it differently."

Personal Rewards vs. Helping Humanity, 2000.
The following essay discusses whether one would take a job that promised personal rewards as well as helping the rest of humanity.

Abstract
This essay examines the dilemma in making a decision put before a hypothetical student at McGill University. If the ends always justify the means and personal ambition is a virtue, then one would most certainly take a job that promised one personal rewards and might also, as an added, but not necessary bonus, help the rest of humanity. However this paper looks at this decision from the perspective of the Mahayan Buddhist.
From the Paper
"While it is not moral to kill, the Buddhist also recognizes the fact that death is not the end, that in each life all sentient beings inhabit a mortal body that appears in the transient world and is lead through the cycle of death and rebirth to enlightenment. It may be that part of one's mission in a life is to help create medicines that will benefit many others."

"Helping and Hating the Homeless" by Peter Marin, 2004.
This paper discusses the perpetuating marginalization of the homeless in the United States as discussed in "Helping and Hating the Homeless" by Peter Marin.
1,020 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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
History of Mental Illness
The Problems of Homelessness
De-institutionalizing the Mentally Ill
A Study of Homelessness, Mental Illness, and Citizenship
From the Paper
"The solution according to the government is to deinstitutionalize those who have mental illness, but in reality many of these patients are released from the institutions and become homeless. The process of deinstitutionalization sounds easy and most professionals believe the mentally ill can adjust to the community (Zissi, 2006). Few people understand the problems of the mentally ill when it comes to social environment factors and living in the community. A major problem with the mentally ill adjusting to the community is the stigma of the labels they receive once they are diagnosed. "The stigma of mental illness remains a serious social problem and critical impediment to treatment seeking among diagnosed individuals" (Teachman, Wilson, and Komarovskaya, 2006, p. 75). People who have mental health problems have trouble adjusting to the community because it is not easy for them to make friends and even for family members to develop close relationships with them. Many homeless people who have mental health issues would rather return to the environment of being homeless because they have friends who are also homeless and they are not treated as abnormal."

Helping Deaf Students, 2007.
This paper explores the interpreter's role in deaf and hearing education.
1,028 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how deaf students face particular challenges in the classroom, challenges often met and addressed by interpreters. The paper examines the misconceptions that exist with respect to the interpreter's role. The paper explains that the primary role of the interpreter is as translator, providing objective and factual information to deaf students in a manner that doesn't interfere with the student's ability to participate actively in the classroom. The paper concludes that it is vital that teachers, hearing and deaf students understand the role of the interpreter to maximize deaf students' opportunities for shared communication and success in the mainstream classroom.
From the Paper
"Many assume the interpreter's role in the classroom is limited to providing interpretive services to deaf students. Realistically speaking however the interpreter's role in the classroom is much more complex and involved. Frasu (2003), an interpreter, notes that it is vital to educate hearing consumers regarding the interpreter's role in the classroom, but that this is also one of the more difficult aspects of an interpreter's position. Further as an interpreter the author notes that no matter one's skill level it is often difficult to interpret information for those that aren't knowledgeable of the role and significance of interpreting services (Frasu, 2003)."

Helping Youth and Adults Search for Meaning in Depression, 2002.
A suggested treatment for children and adults with depression.
2,005 words (approx. 8.0 pages), 13 sources, MLA, $ 63.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper addresses the resilient quality of making meaningful sense out of the problems in our lives; and how youth and adults with depression can be empowered to develop this quality. The author finds that one way of gaining a new perspective on depression is to focus on the resilient traits or qualities which have been shown to mitigate against the onset of psychopathology.
From the Paper
"Currently knowledge of resiliency is only in its infancy, the resilient traits that have been identified are only very general (Garmezy & Masten, 1986). Yet these general traits should provide a baseline from which further research can be done to determine which protect against specific mental health problems (Neiger, 1991). One of the protective traits that has been identified is the ability of many resilient individuals to make meaningful sense out of the chaotic and traumatic events that confront them (Neiger. 1991). Young-Eisendrath (1996) states that the capacity to be resilient, to respond to difficulty with development, is rooted in many diverse factors, but it consistently depends on one thing; the meaning you, the individual, make of where you are (p. 22). Taylor (1983) posits that following a negative experience, the search for a purpose or meaning in the experience is an important element in coping with the experience and moving on with life. According to Taylor (1983), people who were able to assign a positive meaning to a negative experience were shown to be better adjusted psychologically."

Debt Relief: Helping or Hindering?, 2007.
This paper explores the controversial issue of providing debt relief to developing countries.
3,015 words (approx. 12.1 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 88.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the policy of providing debt relief for poor countries, especially African countries. The paper explains how many believe that as wealthy countries hand out vast sums of foreign aid, they also put up enormous barriers to trade. Moreover, poor countries must take the lead in their own development and it is not beneficial for rich and powerful countries to control the environment in which poorer countries operate. The paper describes how finance ministers from the Group of Eight nations met to advance a G-8 debt relief initiative for poor countries. The paper maintains that the issue of aid and debt relief for the world's poorest nations will be on the G-8 agenda for years to come and will undoubtedly remain an issue of debate among politicians and economists.
From the Paper
"The total African debt, excluding South Africa, reached $285.5 billion more than a decade ago, in 1993 (Sonko). This total comprised $118.9 billion for North Africa and $166.5 billion for Sub-Saharan Africa, SSA, and these figures represented changes of 3 percent in the total regional debt, a decline of 0.5 percent in that of North Africa and a 6 percent increase in that of SSA, since 1990 (Sonko). The total debt in 1993 represented only 16 percent of total developing country debt (Sonko). However, the magnitude of what is generally recognized as the "African debt burden" becomes clearer from the ratios that express the debt in relation to certain key economic variables (Sonko). Thus, in 1993 the debt/GDP ratio, which measures the debt in relation to the total economic output of a nation, equaled 73.3 percent for North Africa and 123.1 percent for Sub-Saharan Africa (Sonko). This means, for example in the case of SSA, the debt owed far exceeds the total value of goods and services of the entire region (Sonko). Therefore, as Dr. Karamo Sonko reported in the October 01, 1994 issue of African Business, that the "entire economy of Africa can be correctly regarded as less than adequate collateral for current and future debt"."

Helping Hands, 2002.
This paper discusses voluntarism in America.

Abstract
This paper explores the past, present, and future role of voluntarism in America, as well as answer the questions of who volunteers and why.
From the Paper
"The subject of voluntarism in America has been a favorite of social scientists for almost as long as there has been an America. In the 1830's, following an extended visit to the newly formed country, Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville remarked: Americans of all ages, all conditions, and all dispositions constantly form associations. They have not only commercial and manufacturing companies, in which all take part, but associations of a thousand other kinds, religious, moral, serious, futile, general or restricted, enormous or diminutive. The Americans make associations to give entertainments, to found seminaries, to build inns, to construct churches, to diffuse books, to send missionaries to the antipodes; in this manner they found hospitals, prisons, and schools. If it is proposed to inculcate some truth or to foster some feeling by the encouragement of a great example, they form a society. Wherever at the head of some great undertaking you see the government in France, or man of rank in England, in the United States you will be sure to find an association (Hawks, 4).
Echoing Tocqueville's sentiments, James Bryce of Britain said in 1890:
Associations are created, extended, and worked in the United States more… effectively than in any other country (Skocpol, Ganz, & Munson, 528).
"Even today, voluntarism in America continues to be a major topic of study for sociologists. The body of research literature covers a variety of broad topics. Some researchers have chosen to focus on the macro-level, creating comparative studies of voluntarism worldwide. Other studies attempt to assess the impact of voluntarism at the local and national levels, focusing on the impact of voluntarism on community, democracy, and economics. Some research focuses on defining and analyzing the volunteers themselves: what defines the "prototypical volunteer", which spiritual and socioeconomic factors influence them, which personality traits are common to volunteers, and how voluntary services impacts their lives. These are all topics of major importance as the voluntary organizations' role in the community evolves over time. Originally created to meet the social needs that the government was not organized to provide, volunteer organizations today occupy the supporting role to the government's administration of welfare. Like most things, however, the pendulum is swinging back again. As more and more Americans decry "Big Government", "Big Government" is responding with such platitudes as "a thousand points of light" to encourage Americans to get back into the business of caring for one another. A call to voluntarism sounds like a good thing on the surface, but it raises more questions than answers for sociologists. This report will attempt to explore the past, present, and future role of voluntarism in America, as well as answer the questions of who volunteers and why."

How Schools are Helping Child Sufferers Combat the ADHD Disorder, 2002.
A paper which examines the steps schools are taking to help children who suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
1,755 words (approx. 7.0 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 56.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper describes Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD or ADD as it is commonly referred to, as a debilitating disorder that affects children and adults alike, however its effects on children appear to be more pronounced due to their need to concentrate and focus in their schooling to prepare them for adulthood. This paper explores what ADHD is, its symptoms and possible causes. Strategies by schools and teachers are also addressed, particularly in their methods of creating awareness of this disorder and including the sufferer in normal classes.
From the Paper
"Many of the strategies that special education educators adopt are fundamentally sound teaching methods. Informing child ADHD sufferers in advance of what they will be learning, like providing an agenda, giving visual aids, and writing out oral instructions contribute much to helping students with ADHD. It aids them in sustaining their focus on the lesson at hand, as well as helping them recall what they are supposed to learn. Teachers even encourage students with ADHD in observing and managing their own behavior and attention by educating them on certain techniques. These techniques encompass seeking instructions on the blackboard, raising their hand in the event of a question or problem as opposed to shouting for attention, test their own memory, or quietly ask a fellow student of they have a question or need clarification on something being taught."
