Abstract
This paper presents a project proposal which aims to study racial, ethnic and cultural intolerance in army nursing facilities in Canada. The writer discusses how he would go about conducting his research and discusses the type of questionnaire that he would use. It briefly looks at the reasons why this study is important and describes its budget and time-line. The writer concludes by discussing why he is the appropriate candidate to conduct the research.
From the Paper
"This writer is turning to the Social Sciences and Research Council of Canada because there will undoubtedly be significant travel expenses involved. Most notably, there are no military hospitals in the Greater Toronto Area and several of the nurses to whom I have already spoken indicated that they would be more comfortable with a "face-to-day" interview than with merely answering the queries via questionnaire. Additionally, the expenses incurred from distributing the questionnaire and from computing the results will have to borne by this writer alone. Because of the Council's commitment to academic excellence and to truth-seeking in all areas of Canadian society, I am turning to your organization for support in seeing to it that this important matter is investigated."

"America's Army" Video Game v. Army, 2006.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses similarities between the video game "America's Army" and the real army, such as simulation games and battle simulation episodes. The writer looks at methods of recruit and ways of advertising for the United States Army. The writer states that both the actual United States Army and "America's Army" rely on lures to gain new recruits. The writer continues that "America's Army" was designed to be both a way to lure young recruits and as a way to simulate battle experience. The writer shows that although "America's Army" and the United States Army share much in common, the video game remains a game and does not adequately capture the experience of serving in the armed forces.
From the Paper
"Both the America's Army video game and the United States Army use advertising, propaganda, and clever product placement in order to sell their ideas. In fact, America's Army is one of the propaganda and advertising tools that the United States Army uses as part of its arsenal of marketing tools. In addition to the video game, the United States army uses brochures, television ads, print ads and radio ads to sell the armed forces to young people. In the same way, America's Army is marketed through a series of advertisements in publications and on multimedia sources.
Both the America's Army video game and the United States Army use battle simulation games. In fact, the America's Army video game is almost entirely based on battle simulations. The United States Army employs more specific simulations games, such as those that are used to operate different types of mobile artillery. However, both the America's Army video and the United States Army need to hire software engineers that can craft intricate battle simulation episodes."

"A Respectable Army", 2008.
This paper dispels the myths of the colonial army's war against the British in "A Respectable Army" by James Kirby Martin and Mark Edward Lender.

Abstract
This paper explains that America likes to believe that the colonial army was different from the British and was based upon ordinary men volunteering their time out of ideology and a love of liberty rather than a desire for money. The paper looks at "A Respectable Army" by James Kirby Martin and Mark Edward Lender who suggest that the war was actually won by paid soldiers, not by volunteers. The paper also discusses the class tension in the army that contradicts the preached ideal that the new colonial army was democratic and egalitarian.
From the Paper
"Rather than a citizen-solder, Martin and Lender stress that for most of the war, the majority of the colonial army had a relatively small percentage of landed farmers. The vast majority of the army's core was made up of poor men with little hope of employment elsewhere, who sought land and hopefully money and perhaps some social respectability as a result of the suffering they endured under Washington's command. They did not enlist for ideology, or to preserve their lifestyle, like the volunteer citizens, more often than not, they enlisted out of desperation. This vast social gulf and differing views of the rightness and importance of the colonial cause and the rightness of the social structure of America thus created an equally profound divide within the army between those who did serve as part of a standing, paid army and volunteers."

Abstract
Canada, while not a major military power, has a long and proud military history, including a far from peaceful past. A brief history of the origins of Canada's military in the 16th, 17th, and early 18th centuries. It examines how these early developments helped form the type of army in existence today.
From the Paper
"Canada as such is not a nation possessed of a major military presence or historical traditions. the present day Canadian army officially traces its formal origins from those forces raised to replace the departing British garrisons after confederation in 1867 (1). Before this a formal Canadian Army as such did not exist, or did it? The purpose of this paper is to show that a formal regular military developed during the first decade of the nineteenth century. This force was in addition to the British Imperial garrisons and the militia, which had always existed. From the period just prior to the Conquest of New France in 170 up to the War of 1812, the military in Canada underwent a significant change both in quality and in resulting opinion of their American and European counterparts and superiors.

Gays in the Army, 2002.
A comparison of the restrictions of gays in the American army to the previous restriction of women in the army.
1,542 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the present restrictions that forbids gays from enlisting in the U.S. army. It compares this stance with the prohibition of women in combat units, which has subsequently been lifted. The writer shows how many now consider women to be an asset in the military. The author explains how the homosexual community hopes that this trend of acceptance will be extended to them as well.
From the Paper
"The question of whether gays should be allowed in the military involves complex arguments not just on the issue of fairness to gays and others in a democratic society but also on the role of the military and any special concerns that have to be considered when creating policy for the military. The issue has been much discussed in recent years and is similar in tone to the argument formerly raised for admitting women into the military, though there are significant differences as well. Some of the primary reasons given for keeping women out of the service have also been advanced in a modified form for keeping gays out of the military, so the experience the military has had with women is instructive."

Abstract
The paper explains why made Alexander the Great was one of the finest military commanders in history. The composition and organization of the army are analyzed and his tactics used in his four great battles.
From the Paper
"Alexander the Great ascended to the throne at a time when the Macedonian empire was at a crossroads, yet within ten years of coming to power in 336BC Alexander was within striking distance of the Indus valley after destroying the greatest empire the world had ever seen up to that point. The noted military tactician and historian J.F.C Fuller says of Alexander?s succession to the throne, ?When Philip was assassinated Alexander was barely twenty years of age and as yet so inexperienced and untried that it seemed to all Greece that the Macedonian empire was about to dissolve.? The description of Alexander by Arrian as ?always masterly? says a lot of his capability as a general, but Alexander had inherited numerous advantages from Philip II. This essay will seek to demonstrate whether or not Alexander was a tactical genius or not, on and off the battlefield. I will now go on to discuss the advantages that Alexander had inherited from Philip II."

Army Recruiting: An Ethical Dilemma, 2006.
A discussion regarding the ethics surrounding recruitment to the U.S. army.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 3 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the situation of ethical dilemmas in the U.S. army, and how it affects army recruiting. It explores how ethics typically involves the choice between an ethical and a non-ethical situation, and how the army has elected to not promote such ideals in army recruiting, as this may discourage the number of recruits. The paper illustrates this through current pertinent examples.
From the Paper
"With all of the current news focus on the war in Iraq, the converge between ethics and war actions has been made evident to the American public, especially with recent information regarding U.S. soldiers actions towards detainees at Guantanamo Bay. This raises questions regarding how much the army should consider situations containing ethical dilemmas. Ethical dilemmas involve considering a conflict between moral imperatives. Typically, this necessitates a choice between a moral or ethical response and a non-ethical alternative. In many cases, ethical dilemmas are highly difficult as the non-ethical conclusion is often paired with other incentives. If a nation's army does not consider such ethics, major atrocities, genocides, torture, among other results, may occur. "

The U.S. Army 1925-1945, 2007.
This paper discusses changes in the U.S. Army's discipline, training, duties and weapons from 1925 to 1945.

Abstract
The paper relates that during the period from 1925 - 1945, including World War II, combat consisted of close range fighting. The paper describes how economic turbulence and instability hounded the U.S. army until 1925. Then, during the thirties, the U.S. army fell to seventeenth among the world's armies. The paper relates that afterwards, however, the U.S. Army recovered and in time became recognized as a prominent powerful military force. The paper notes certain changes but stresses that the concepts embodied in training, duties, weapons and discipline remain constant as they contribute to the soul and heart of the U.S. Army.
From the Paper
"According to the Army Study Guide, "America's NCO corps and designated discipline details just didn't happen, but evolved over the years, tapping ideas and innovations from many different sources" (Army). Influence of Baron Von Steuben, America's first inspector general, powerfully shaped the structure of NCO corps and ensuing discipline strategies and techniques, not only in the Continental Army, but ultimately within the U.S. Army. Von Steuben introduced and officially established "the Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States, commonly called the 'Blue Book.'""

Army Reserves, 2007.
A look at the history of the formation of a national federal reserve for the U.S. Army.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the formation of a national federal reserve for the U.S. Army was a slow process and how it took many events and a few wars to establish and develop the U.S. Army reserves as we know it today. It discusses how, from a volunteer state run militias to a federally run federal reserve, America's Army has been shaped by war. It looks at how through the Spanish American War of 1898, which led to the Dick Act of 1903, and two World Wars, the Army reserve has been shaped and molded into an enduring legacy of military power.
From the Paper
"The Spanish-American War of 1898 pinpointed many deficiencies of the U.S. Army Reserve. Published after his death, The Military Policy of the United State, by Emory Upton argued for a stronger military force. By stronger he was referring to a professional one modeled off of the Prussians. The US Army subsequently embraced The Military Policy of the United States in its disputes with the militia advocates. Enamored by the German model, Upton wanted to achieve the same for the United States. However, like many raised in the Army way, Upton failed to grasp the interrelationship between politics and the military (Huntington). "

Abstract
This paper identifies functions of facilities management that lead to success and contribute to the efficiency and profitability of an organization. The paper focuses on processes of facilities management and discusses total quality management. It examines how different spheres of the business function because of facilities management and how careful monitoring of systems and equipment not only allows for efficiency, but also contributes to financial savings. The paper examines a specific example of a facilities management style taken from a case study of Nestle's Glendale, California headquarters. The case study focuses on the efficiency of telecommunications equipments for the team while also looking at the obstacles such technology creates when members of the team are resistant to change.
From the Paper
"As with all divisions of a company, a facilities team relies on clear policies and procedures to define the process by which they manage the day's work. Without defined processes the organization is in danger of destroying itself. All functions would stop and efficiency would be in the past. Many factors are important to the health, competitive edge and success for the organization, one of which is public image. Facilities management works to obtain and continue the appropriate public image. This image begins and ends with maintaining excellent client user service and beautiful care of the headquarters. In this way, a facilities team works to provide the best environment conducive to productivity possible. By providing such an environment where every little detail is taken care of, the facilities team creates an environment where the client user can be efficient and successful. By alleviating environmental issues, client users can maintain their daily tasks, even exceed expectations and contribute to the organization's success. "

Assisted-Living Facilities, 2005.
An analysis of current and future trends in assisted-living facilities in the United States.

Abstract
Assisted-living facilities offer a relatively new way to care for seniors who can't manage on their own. The facilities are typically a cross between an apartment building with services and a nursing home with various levels of personal assistance, which are all covered by a monthly rental fee. This paper examines literature on assisted-living facilities in the United States. It concludes with a summary of the research, which shows that, as the American population continues to grow older, increasing numbers of alternative and assisted-living arrangements are going to be required. Assisted-living facilities now represent the most rapidly growing type of residential care for elderly individuals in the United States.
From the Paper
"Unfortunately for many older people, a fundamental constraint remains in the face of these growing trends towards assisted living facilities: they are not cheap. "The people who express most interest in relocating to an assisted-living community are those least able to afford it, earning on average less than $20,000 a year" (Horvitz 1997, p. 40). A typical assisted-housing unit may easily cost more than $2,000 or $3,000 a month (or more, depending on the region the country); in fact, only 27 percent of those who expect they might need long-term care services say they could come up with the money to pay for them (Horvitz 1997). Although some states have begun to seek waivers to allow Medicaid to pay for assisted living, the government generally restricts coverage to stays in nursing homes--even though assisted living costs 40 percent less. "It's a cheaper option than nursing homes--daily rates are lower," says Redding. "You pay only for what you need, not for what your neighbor needs." Policymakers do have reason to be wary. If assisted living becomes covered by Medicaid, hundreds of thousands of elderly people might take advantage of it, thereby placing an ever greater demand on scarce government resources (Horvitz 1997)."
