Abstract
This paper discusses that a company can attain and maintain a high productivity level by ensuring their employees maintain a healthy work-life balance. The author points out that separating one?s personal life from one?s professional life has been the mantra of generations, but as the family has changed over the decades, this often has become unrealistic. The paper states that flexible work schedules, extended maternity leave, time management training, wellness programs, and telecommuting options may at first seem like more headache than they are worth, and yet, the happier, more motivated employees these types of policies produce more than pay for themselves.
From the Paper
"The benefits of work-life balance policies are numerous. Happier employees are more productive and more loyal. More productivity adds to a healthier bottom line. These policies can lead a company to attract and retain the best candidates for their open positions, increasing productivity even further. In general, work-life balance can help a company be more competitive in an increasingly competitive marketplace."

Abstract
This paper relates that a consistent level of stress in working environments that has pushed workers to be successful has been detrimental to businesses, as well as society. The paper explains that because of these instances of violence and unrest within the working class, such as in the United States Postal Service and the nursing profession, businesses have discovered that they must now find methods that will create a balance between work and life. The paper concludes that businesses must now plan for a restructuring that accommodates the worker in his or her professional and personal existence.
From the Paper
"The balance between work and an individual's life is significant in modern society because the concept suggests that the person has some form of control over his or her existence. At the beginning of industrialization Karl Marx noted that workers would ultimately have no control over their lives in a capitalistic society. Marx contended that there would be two classes in the social order - the wealthy and the laborers. In Marx' view, the wealthy would own all businesses and the laborer would depend on the business in order to survive in the social order. However, Marx also indicated that as time progressed the wealthy would manipulate the working man into believing that if he worked hard and long enough he would be capable of overcoming his hardships."

From the Paper
"Throughout history human beings have attempted to produce theories of knowledge and learning. Some of the most basic questions such theories have attempted to answer concern what knowledge is, where knowledge comes from and how we know what is true. Plato theorized that only things that do not change, that are immutable can be known. Limitations of the human senses and perception have always played into theories on knowing. So too has human capacity for ration and more..."

Human rights vs. Human Nature, 2006.
A discussion regarding the justification of war and the issue of human rights versus human nature.

Abstract
This paper reviews the question of justifying military intervention on the basis of protection of human rights, pointing out that such a question requires a prior assumption. The paper clarifies this assumption to be that countries are capable of benevolent, disinterested altruism. History refutes this assumption. The paper further discusses how individuals and groups within a country may very well have the best intentions to bring relief to the suffering citizens of a brutal dictatorship or civil war; but countless examples, from Vietnam, to Latin America, to Rwanda, to present day Iraq, show a road to hell paved with such good intentions. The political and military forces involved in such maneuvers, by their very nature, preclude truly altruistic actions.

From the Paper
"According to a separate report, "Migrant trafficking and smuggling has become a global business generating huge profits for traffickers and organized crime syndicates." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) In fact in a study conducted by IOM reports "...an estimated 15 to 30 million irregular migrants worldwide." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) Sadly a report of the U.S. Department of Justice states that an estimated "...700,000 women and children are trafficked yearly across borders." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) The reason stated that so many of these migrants go unreported is due to the inherent "...clandestine nature..." involved in so many of the lives and migration of these individuals."

Human Nature and Reason: A Shifting Balance, 2000.
An exploration of Shakespeare's "Othello".

»

Abstract
This essay uses Shakespeare's "Othello" to explore the concept that greed, lust, jealousy, and many other human emotions are natural and inevitable and that reason, sense, and ration are needed to counter such emotions.
From the Paper
"Humans are prey to their raging emotions and need reason and sense to balance their appetites such as greed and lust. In Shakespeare?s Othello, Iago uses his own reason and intelligence to take advantage of human nature?s tendency to be lustful and jealous, and yet sympathetic as well. He weaves a web of lies in order to unbalance Othello, separating him from reason and self-control, kind and leading him to distrust, to hate, and finally to violence. "

From the Paper
"Abstract
This paper is an investigation of the topic of aggression in both humans and non-human primates with an attempt to understand the causes of such aggression and what links exist between the aggressive behaviors of different primate species.
The literature on primate aggression is reviewed and a number of bases for aggressive behavior are put forth, including psychoanalytic, biological, evolutionary and learned. The validity of each of these explanatory paradigms is examined and the evolutionary and social learning perspectives are established as being the most useful bases on which to create theoretical models of primate aggressive behavior.
A substantial amount of attention is paid to possible evolutionary causes of aggression and evolutionarily based links between the aggressive tendencies..:

Abstract
This paper reviews the article, ?Verizon Communications, Inc.: Implementing a Human Resources Balanced Scorecard?, by Marc Epstein, and also reviews the process of balanced scorecard and how the concept works and can be applied in this highly competitive global economy. Verizon is the largest provider of wire-line and wireless communications in the United States, and it is a recognized exponent of the human resource balanced scorecard methodology. This report identifies and discusses key issues and problems that have been related to the combining of organization's existing business strategies and its newer human resource management strategies and practices.
From the Paper
"The article demonstrated how Human Resource leaders are now continually being placed under increased pressure to clarify and demonstrate through the use of hard data and what the value of their functions can or will deliver to the business as a whole. In other words, soft functions such as Human Resources can no longer simply represent a bottomless pit of costs. This report details how Human Resources Management is implementing new strategic management frameworks such as the Balanced Scorecard to develop and embed the value of the processes from Human Resources Management business-wide. And finally, the report will also attempt to elaborate on two of the HRM component areas that are included in the strategic HRM action plan developed in response to Q2."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Many organisations express concerns about the cost implications of introducing work-life balance practices. Work-life balance encompasses a broad range of different policies and practices, many of which do not have any actual cost implications but rely on a more imaginative approach to everyday working conditions. Flexible working arrangements are the most common, including such arrangements as flexible working hours, part-time/job share arrangements, unpaid leave, compressed and annualised hours. Special carer leave arrangements and childcare support and information are other important areas that can contribute to a greater work-life balance. Some organisations also provide additional employee support in the form of information and advice about work-life balance or counselling services."

Abstract
The universal declaration of human rights is dissected in this paper in order to challenge the notion of human rights and religion interacting cohesively. The three major religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam and their opinions on human rights are carefully examined in this paper, as well as their differences and similarities regarding this issue. Several examples of said human rights violations are described in respect to these religions. This paper tries to find a balance between human rights and respect for religious belief , which depends on the most important human right, the right to choose.
From the Paper
"Judaism, Christianity and Islam have much in common. All are, ?founded on the eternal command to love one God, oneself, and all neighbors. Each tradition recognizes a canonical text as its highest authority- the Bible, the Torah and the Qur?an.? The similarities continue in delegating authority to officials to propagate the faith, the embracing of an expanding body to interpret and enforce the religion?s decree, the presence of a refined legal structure (the canon law, Halakha and Shari?a) and the endeavor of each religion to imbue its religious, ethical and legal values into the daily lives of individuals and communities. Religious laws are not necessarily in breach of human rights so long as the freedom to choose religion or no religion is acknowledged. However, as has happened throughout history and even today, when religious laws are constructed by a state affecting all citizens, their option of a different or no religion becomes impossible."

Abstract
This paper defines key terms necessary for the paper ('human rights', 'civil rights' and 'civil liberties') and gives a brief history of the development of human rights (from Socrates through to the U.S. Bill of Rights and the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights). The main paper is split into two parts. Part one looks at alleged human rights violations from both an external, generally 'Western', perspective and an internal, Chinese (Asian-Islamic) perspective. It argues that human rights as an issue is being manipulated by both Western and Eastern governments for political purposes. Examples used in the paper include alleged oppression in Tibet, Xinjiang, and Tianenmen Square; as well as suspected torture based on religious, political and socio-cultural intolerance by the Chinese government. Part two looks at possible solutions to the human rights issue. It again uses both internal (Chinese) and external (U.S. and U.N.) perspectives and leads to the thought-provoking conclusion. The full text of the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights is included in the appendix.
From the Paper
"'Human rights' are rights that all humans are entitled to such as the right to live, the right to liberty, the right to freedom of expression and the right to equality within society. 'Civil rights' and 'civil liberties' refer to the guarantees that a state may make to its citizens and are offered in addition to one's basic human rights. Perhaps the best quantification of human rights (and the mostly widely accepted in the West) is the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Although the UN's Declaration is over half a century old and has been savagely criticized at times it still serves as a useful guide to general ideals of human rights."
