Abstract
The paper analyzes the ancient texts; the "Art of War" and "The Wisdom of the Desert" in terms of their underlying philosophies and concludes that it is evident that they share a number of philosophical similarities. The paper offers the example that they are both manuals on the conduct of warfare which focus on the spiritual, psychological and intellectual aspects of human conflict. The paper explains that although the "Art of War" pertains to physical warfare as well, it is founded upon higher Chinese moral philosophy and personal introspection which makes it applicable to many non-belligerent activities, including moral choices and daily-life situations.

Abstract
In this article the writer first discusses the term 'conflict' and looks at how it can be defined. The writer then describes that when an Islamic militant and terrorist took it upon himself to resolve a conflict as he saw it, he launched terror attacks on the people of the United States of America, and the result was large scale devastation and destruction and panic and adverse impacts on the economic and political and social system of the United States. Further, the writer studies the impact and attempts at resolution of the conflict. The writer concludes that perhaps, in the long run, Bush's ideals would create more conflict around the globe, than resolve them in any way. One can only wait and see what will happen eventually, and find out whether it is possible to resolve conflicts of high order with any amount of success.
From the Paper
"However, at the same time, it must be remembered that there were other losses that were not covered by private insurance, or were not qualified under the charitable contributions, or even by the emergency relief funds, and these were the really huge losses that occurred due to the September 11 terrorist attacks. Several different agencies undertook the study of the economic losses that were caused by the September 11 debacle, and according to the New York City Partnership, the attacks on the two World Trade Center Buildings must have cost the state, at the very least, $ 83 billion, as per the value in the year 2001, and this included the costs of total losses, that is, both the direct and the indirect costs. Out of this estimate, only about $ 67 billion of the losses would be completely covered by insurance and other contributions. In a more recent study, according to an Officer of the New York City Comptroller's Office, as of April 2002, the total costs of the clean up of the World Trade Center has been much quicker and also much less costly than the initial estimates had indicated."

Abstract
In an attempt to influence the behaviour of other states, while avoiding the consequences of military conflict, many states or coalitions of states employ economic sanctions. Proponents of these types of measures argue that they can and do influence the actions of sanctioned states. Their critics argue that they carry little diplomatic weight and impose undue suffering on innocent individuals within the sanctioned state. This case examines the application of sanctions against Iraq in the past decades and concludes that they have had few positive consequences and profoundly negative and immoral impacts.

Abstract
This paper is a detailed discussion of Islamic criminal law, its sources, its application, and its conflict with international law and human rights. The author examines both primary and secondary sources of Islamic law, and describes Hudud, Tazir and Qesas crime and punishment. The paper also focuses on the historical background of Muslim law.
From the paper:
?Islam means ?submission? or ?surrender? to the will of Allah. For the more than one billion Muslims of the world, this means submission to a comprehensive code of law governing every arena of life: social, political, economic, and religious. In Islam there is no separation of church and state, no distinction between religion and politics; Government, law, and religion are unified. Some would argue that Islamic law is not fully practiced in any part of the Islamic world. While this may be true, twenty-three nations have either declared Islam to be the state religion or declared the religious writings of Islam to be the principal source of law.?

Human Cloning: Ethical Issues, 2006.
An analysis of the religious and medical ethical issues concerning human cloning.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 5 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This ethical study analyzes the current issues that involve both religion and medical science in relation to developments in human cloning. This medical issue is pertinent to ethics, since it involves a great deal of scientific questions as to how science is "playing God." This religious perspective is analyzed through Roman Catholic arguments against human cloning to better understand how this conflict is developing between both factions. In essence, this paper analyzes the two sides of the "playing God" issue in relation to the medical scientific advancements of human cloning. The first issue surrounding a social threat to human order in cloning is how cloning threatens a 'natural' order of birth in the human condition.

Human Embryos and Stem Cell Research, 2005.
A discussion on the ethical problems and their possible solutions for using different sources of human embryos for stem cell research.
5,141 words (approx. 20.6 pages), 33 sources, MLA, $ 128.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how using different sources of human embryonic stem cells for research raises different ethical problems and how experimenting on embryos created for in vitro fertilization but left unused, or embryos, created specially for research raise ethical questions. It provides a literature review to present the main arguments for and against using different sources of human embryonic stem cells and to learn about possible alternatives to human embryo research.
Outline
Introduction
Does Using "Spare" Human Embryos For Research Mean a Lack of Respect for the Embryos?
Is Using Embryos Created for Research Purposes Morally Worse Than Using Existing "Spare" Embryos for Research?
What Are the Ethical Problems Related to Therapeutic Cloning?
What Could Be the Alternatives to Embryo Research in Order to Avoid or Minimize Ethical Conflicts?
Conclusions
References
From the Paper
"The other two sources of embryos raise serious ethical questions, namely, whether using "spare" human embryos for research means a lack of respect for the embryos and whether using embryos created for research purposes is morally worse than using existing "spare" embryos for research. The application of the technique of the somatic cell nuclear transfer, in its turn, raises a question on what ethical problems relate to creating human embryos by means of this technique. For example, the polls in the United States show that there is quite a big public controversy over human embryonic stem cell research and therapeutic cloning. The polls also show that the public remains in the dark about the scientific issues related to embryonic stem cell research. "

"The benefits to an organisation that can be gained through effective team working are numerous. Through successful team working the company will see increased levels of communication, which will enable its employees to become more effective at completing their tasks. This will increase the level of job satisfaction among the staff while also reducing the personal stress levels. Employees that are satisfied with their working lives are more willing to accommodate fellow work colleagues. Therefore the organisation benefits from employees that have job satisfaction."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the medical issue of human cloning, noting that it is pertinent to ethics, since it involves a great deal of scientific questions as to how science is "playing God." The religious perspective is analyzed through Roman Catholic arguments against human cloning to better understand how this conflict is developing between both factions. In essence, this paper analyzes the two sides of the "playing God" issue in relation to the medical scientific advancements of human cloning.
From the Paper
"The Catholic point of view on procreation is an act that occurs from the union of two people, those married under God's union and vows. Cloning is direct violation of the act of two people, and socially makes for an unethical third party (scientists) to be involved in this sacred union between two people. This perspective often brings forth the changing element of a society that is steadily becoming less dependent on religious doctrines, which invariably must give way to the empiricism of modern science. In essence, Catholic Bishops oppose cloning of new human lives because mankind does not have the right to play God."

"Are Human Rights Universal?", 2005.
A review of the article by Shashi Tharoor "Are Human Rights Universal?".

Abstract
This paper reviews the article "Are Human Rights Universal?", by Shashi Tharoor. The paper discusses the concepts raised by Tharoor, that the Western World takes basic human rights, such as access to clean water and the right to avoid torture in times of conflict, for granted. The paper then goes on to discuss if the West is able to preserve human rights against threats.
From the Paper
"Review of the Article "Are Human Rights Universal?" In Shashi Tharoor's article "Are Human Rights Universal?" the author raises a series of difficult and unpleasant topics on the concept of human rights. The author begins the piece in pointing out the truism that the majority of those residing in the West tend to consider human rights to be a basic aspect of life; all human beings are accorded basic principles that ensure their personal welfare and well-being, such as access to clean water and the right to avoid undue circumstances in times of conflict, such as torture. However, Tharoor points out that the very concept that there is such a thing as basic human rights is embedded within the Western lifestyle; the peoples of the world do not tend to have the philosophical perspective necessary to consider the possibility of basic human rights for all, let along the mechanisms through which to preserve them against threats."

Ancient Cultures and Human Life, 2008.
This paper looks at ancient cultures and discusses the purpose of human life.

Abstract
In this paper, the writer notes that in ancient cultures human life was the center of interest for everything. The writer maintains that the entire construction of civilization was based on the human as the main preoccupation and the most important element in the world. The writer points out that modern concerns about the environment, animals and other conflicts that place humans on an equal position with the rest of the planet were weak or nonexistent many centuries back, when the sole interest that captured the attention of common people was to understand how their own society worked. The writer discusses that in every culture, from the very beginning of the civilized world, humans have tried to achieve control over their lives, to understand how it functions and to dominate it. The writer concludes that the concept of human life has changed dramatically during the past centuries and society has started to develop based on practical progress, material achievements and palpable ideas that appear from the same curiosity that inspired the ancient societies to develop.
From the Paper
"The human was the main subject for all the forms of expression in ancient societies, from art forms like poetry and theatre, to practical activities like politics. Their humanist vision left messages about their way of living and thinking, their spirit and preoccupations, ideas and feelings. The human life itself is the very subject they reflect in all of their artistic and intellectual expression.
"Roman and Greek society had almost the same vision about human life and manifested their ideas almost in parallel ways, due to the great influence that the Greek society had over the Roman world. They valued their leisure and commodities in a way that modern civilization would never understand. For them time was relaxed and positive feelings cultivated. In the ancient conception human life was created to enjoy and grow spiritually, not to constrain and suffer as it was conceived in later centuries. They worshipped leisure and inner peace in the same way that modern society worships hard work and effort."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the social turbulence, political instability and human rights violations that are a part of life in the country of Sri Lanka. The paper presents a brief history of the country, some background information on human rights violations there and then takes a look at how minority grievances, claims and rights are central to the human rights situation in Sri Lanka. The paper proposes that though the Tigers are the minority, and have been oppressed in significant ways for many years, both sides in the ongoing conflict in Sri Lanka have committed - and continue to commit - egregious human rights violations; as long as this continues, so will the suffering and killing of all ethnicities.

Abstract
Human resource management at any firm requires the negotiating between different personalities. However, because of the daily nature of real estate as a profession and the need to forestall personality conflicts between employees and sellers, this becomes particularly critical in the real estate profession. This paper examines the role of human resources in real estate firms. It also provides recommendations for a real estate firm when setting up an HR department.
From the Paper
"Furthermore, as individuals become more tempted to sell homes themselves, either as independent agents or by using the internet, real estate firms must work particularly hard in today?s climate to make a case for the need for their profession, and the need for an agent as a crucial middleperson in negotiating a fair and equitable sale, as well as informing prospective sellers and buyers of any particular property of the value of said purchase. In fact, the internet has proved helpful in some respects to the industry, as ?advances in telecommunications and the ability to retrieve data on properties over the Internet allows many real estate brokers and sales agents to work out of their homes, instead of real estate offices.? (U.S. Department of Labor, ?Real Estate,? 2004)"

Human Resource Management, 2007.
An examination of the new functions of the human resource department, specifically recruitment.
1,365 words (approx. 5.5 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how, in the realm of human resources (HR), there are numerous issues that the HR department must address when hiring a new employee. The paper examines how a successful recruiting program needs to serve many, and sometimes conflicting, goals. The paper further examines how, in order for the organization to improve its performance and create competitive advantage, human resources must focus its attention on a new set of priorities. These priorities are more business-issue oriented, and less oriented to the traditional functional HR specialties such as compensation, benefits, staffing, and appraisal.
From the Paper
"In developmental organizations, human resource planning, recruiting, and selection determine the quantity and quality of human resources needed to foster organizational renewal and enhance competitive readiness. Thus, human resource professionals and organizational leaders engage in a series of related steps to guarantee that appropriate human resources are identified, recruited, selected, and developed."
