Abstract
This article looks at the importance of the herring in the fish industry. The writer of the paper maintains that today's fishing industry has a responsibility to manage the available resources well, so that the entire industry will not be forced to collapse and that certain types of fish will not become extinct. The paper looks at different plans and research created in order to manage the herring supply. This has come about as the depletion of fish stocks all over the world has led to the inevitable result of a drastic reduction in catches and also a decrease in the number of employment opportunities. The writer explains that the herring is in danger and that some action is necessary to save the fish.
From the Paper
"It is a fact that for those people who are outside of the fishing industry, it will be indeed quite difficult to understand the various issues involved in the processes used by the industry, including fish production, the utilization of various resources, and also the entire marketing process that is used in the fishing industry. Perhaps one of the primary reasons for this is the fact that the fishing industry relies on the very latest technology in order to obtain food from the wild, like for example, robots, bio engineering techniques, satellites, and other types of electronic equipment. All this makes the entire industry extremely complex and what makes it even more difficult is the large number of fish species that is marketed today: in the US market alone, more than seven hundred different commercial varieties of fish can be found. (Past, present, and possible future of the fishery industry)"

Abstract
The paper introduces the book, "America's Longest War: United States and Vietnam 1950-1975", by George C. Herring. Specifically, it discusses three topics from Chapter 6 and then explains each according to what the author writes. It also looks at how the Vietnam War is being compared increasingly to the current war with Iraq and how, as this chapter clearly shows, there are many reasons for the comparison. It shows how President Johnson began fighting an uphill battle as public opinion about the war began to swing against it, just as President Bush is facing growing opposition to the war with Iraq.
From the Paper
""The President's Decisions." President Johnson, partly on advice from such advisers as Clifford, Westmoreland, and Bunker, decided in late 1967 that new forces should not be sent to South Vietnam, and the country should be more prepared to fight on its own. The author writes, "Johnson's advisers agreed that from a long-range standpoint the key to achieving American objectives was south Vietnam's ability to stand on its own" (Herring 239). By early 1968, the President had informed South Vietnam that we would continue to send assistance and equipment, but "limited manpower." During this time, President Johnson also agreed, heavily leaning on the advice of Dean Rusk, that bombing in Vietnam should be cut back, and peace talks should open again with the North Vietnamese. It seems that many of the President's decisions were based on guidance from his closest advisors, and somewhat on public opinion."

Administrative Ethics and Public Interest, 2003.

Abstract
This paper discusses how, although Herring, Mosher and Thompson would agree that there should be administrative ethics in place to keep administrators morally sound and in tune to the needs of the public, they would debate on employee consent of--and who was to blame for--administrative unethical conduct.
From the Paper
"Many theorists have looked to examine the relationship between ethics and public administration. E. Pendleton Herring (1937) and Frederick Mosher (1974) were just two theorists that have addressed the issue of ethical accountability and responsibility of public managers. In Herring's "Public Administration and Public Interest," he discussed critical roles of bureaucrats and interest groups in the formulation of public policy. In "Watergate: Implication for Responsible Government," Mosher provided an overview of merit systems and equity issues of public administration. Both of their works can be compared to that of Dennis Thompson's (1985) "The Possibility of Administrative Ethics." In it, he raised the question of whether there is such a thing as administrative ethics at all. These three writings are similar in content; however, there are some portions where the ideas of the authors contrast."

Fallacies, 2004.
A discussion of the significance of three logical fallacies: personal attack; 'two wrongs make a right'; and 'red herring'.
847 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 30.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how critical thinking is evident by the very fact that it plays a pivotal role in any process of enquiry that is undertaken to arrive at the truth, a sound argument, or an objective opinion. It discusses three fallacies that belong to the broader category of informal fallacies, which rely on ambiguity and emotional appeal instead of logic and reason and shows how important it is that critical thinkers develop the necessary skills to ensure that reasoning is based on verifiable facts and relevant premises and not on fallacies of logic.
From the Paper
"The red herring fallacy, which is also known as ignorance of refutation, shares a great deal of similarity with the two fallacies discussed earlier. This is because all three fallacies attempt to digress from the main argument. However, the red herring fallacy refers to an argument that is based on premises, which are logically irrelevant to its conclusion (Curtis, 2001-2004). For example, if a business that is accused of creating unacceptable levels of pollution argues that it is generating employment for thousands of people and that it pays millions of dollars in taxes, it is using premises that are irrelevant to the conclusion. As such, decisions in such cases must take place only after all such irrelevant reasons are weeded out."

"The Big Bow Mystery" - A Locked Room Puzzle., 2002.
An analysis of Israel Zangwill's mystery novel "The Big Bow Mystery".

Abstract
This paper dissects Israel Zangwill's mystery novel The Big Bow Mystery and analyzes it in terms of other mystery-novel standards: logical consistency, character evenness, and distraction (e.g. "red herrings"). It concludes that although the novel also functions as a critique of Victorian society, the novel itself has great worth as a mystery due to its supreme internal consistency, hard to achieve in the "locked room" subgenre.

Gender Inequality in Information Systems, 2008.
An analysis of the literature regarding gender inequality within information systems.
756 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes issues of gender inequality and the relevance of feminist epistemology in information systems. It reviews three articles, "Feminist Philosophy and Information Systems" by Alison Adam and Helen Richardson, "The Army and the Microworld: Computers and the Politics of Gender Identity" by Paul Edwards and "Slouching Toward the Ordinary: Current Trends in Computer Mediated Communication" by Susan Herring.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, these three articles on gender role allocations within CMC and IS provide a varied, yet informative view of the historical, social, and feminist ideology of patriarchal systems. However, it is the Adam and Richardson article that best defines the role of empiricism and objectivity in determining the epistemological problems of patriarchal constructs in computer communications. Although a historical analysis of the feminist movement and the current issues of generational decay may inherently be problematic in modern IS, the issue a feminist ideology that must define the reality of gender disparity is the more important premise of the research done by Adam and Richardson."

From the Paper
"The value of shipments in the fresh and frozen seafood processing industry grew from $6.85 billion in 1999 to $7.56 billion in 2002. While the number of establishments involved in processing decreased to less than 600, the number of employees in the industry continues to rise. In 1996, there were 32,400 production workers and by 2002, this number had reached more than 36,000. The growth of seafood processors continues to at a rapid pace also according to DataMonitor (1998) and other industry research services including Seafoodanalyst.com (2006), both of which are predicting that wholesale seafood processor growth will continue at a 6% rate throughout the coming ten years."

Critical Thinking, 2004.
An analysis of the significance of logical fallacies in critical thinking and decision making.
1,123 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses 'faulty analogy', 'slippery slope argument,' and 'red herring' and shows how these logical fallacies have had a detrimental effect on critical thinking and decision making. The paper also points out that critical thinking and decisions in the area of ethics seem to be particularly vulnerable to logical fallacies.
From the Paper
"Faulty analogies, such as the example cited above, are common since it is easy to become impressed by a connection or two and then see an analogy where there really isn?t one (O?Rourke, 2001, Ch.7, para 22). Surprisingly, even organizations often make business decisions based on faulty analogies. Take, for example, the mistakes made by Disney Parks and Resorts in France. Based on the successful replication of its U.S. theme parks in Japan, Disney assumed that the same business model would work in Paris as well. Euro Disney, however, proved to be a very different story in terms of operations. While there were some similarities in customer preferences, the differences proved to be far stronger. For instance, one of the biggest differences, which proved to be a costly error for Disney, was that Europeans treated theme parks as places for day excursions."

"A & P" by John Updike, 2002.
This paper is a detailed review of John Updike's classic story, "A & P", which the paper's author feels is a tribute to two Greek motifs, the heroic epiphany and the power of beauty.

Abstract
This paper describes the story: Sammy, the narrator, explains what possessed him so suddenly to quit his job at the local supermarket. The author thinks that there is an undercurrent of satire in this story as the noble characters of Paris and Venus are placed inside a brightly lit
A & P, and the events turn not on a mythical golden apple but rather on a jar of herring. The paper discusses that beauty spurs the hero to action, but unlike stories of old, Sammy is left with his principles and his confused desire but little else.
From the Paper
"While Sammy first eyes the girls as a teenage male, the poet inside him comes forth to justify his desire, especially for the one whom he names Queenie. She is the confident one and clearly the leader of the three by regard of her confidence and beauty. "She was the queen. She kind of led them, the other two peeking around and making their shoulders round. She didn't look around, not this queen, she just walked straight on slowly, on these long white prima-donna legs." But despite the lust in his own nineteen-year-old heart, Sammy is disgusted, by both the leering butcher and the manager who embarrasses the girl and her companions about their improper dress. For Sammy, insulting the girls, especially Queenie, is akin to calling Botticelli's work pornographic. It is with regard to this last insult, that Sammy takes his stand and quits his job on the spot, much the same as Paris renounced his family by choosing love above all else when he could have had wisdom or the whole world as offered by the other two goddesses."

Abstract
This paper examines President Bush's use of logical fallacies in his presidential debates with Democratic candidate John Kerry.

From the Paper
"Logical Fallacies are most basically defined as flaws in reasoning typically used in an argumentative chain of statements. Analyzing the set of assumptions that underlie a chain of argumentative statements is the bedrock of critical thinking. Fallacies are of ..."
