Abstract
The paper discusses concentration camps built by Hitler's Germany in WWII for Jews as well as other prisoners. It provides a brief overview of the history of anti-semitism in Germany of the time, including Kristallnacht, and describes life as it was for prisoners in the camps.
From the Paper
"The living conditions in both camps could be classified as dismal at best. The poor living conditions caused contagious diseases to spread like wild fire throughout the camps. In Auschwitz I, the prisoners lived in brick barracks with hundreds of three leveled bunk beds. The barracks did not have heating or any sanitary components to them. The barracks were extremely overcrowded, had leaking roofs, and there were rats running all over the place.
"While in the camps, prisoners received three meager meals a day. If they were performing "light" labor they would be given 1,300 calories of food a day. If they were doing more demanding work they would be fed 1,700 calories a day. As a result of being fed a very small amount of food in relation to the amount of work they were doing, many prisoners suffered from malnutrition and a form of physical deterioration they referred to as the "Muzulman state"."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the lives of those living in Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust. The purpose of this paper is to try and show the inhuman brutality of these concentration camps. The paper further discusses the extermination camps that were built in 1942 with the purpose of murdering Jews.
From the Paper
" Many prisoners eventually became what were known as Muselmanner. The Muselmanner are persons destroyed, devastated, shattered wrecks strung between life and death. They are the victims of a stepwise annihilation of human beings. The mere external appearance of the Muselmanner bespoke profound dehumanization. In a final stage of emaciation, their skeletons were enveloped by flaccid, parchmentlike sheaths of skin, edema had formed on their feet and thighs, their posterior muscles had collapsed. Their skulls seemed elongated; their noses dripped constantly, mucus running down their chins. Their eyeballs had sunk deep into their sockets; their gaze was glazed. Their limbs moved slowly, hesitantly, almost mechanically. They exuded a penetrating, acrid odor; sweat, urine, liquid feces trickled down their legs. The rags that covered their freezing frames were full of lice; their skin was covered with scabies. Most suffered from diarrhea. They ate anything they could lay their hands on--moldy bread, cheese wriggling with worms, raw bits of turnip, garbage fished from the bins. "

From the Paper
"The Nazi concentration camps of World War II were, intentionally or not, a social experiment in which human beings were subjected to extraordinary circumstances. The behavior of camp inmates may reveal something about human nature, or what happens when a conventional way of life, with its attendant social institutions and habits, is impossible. To determine whether the camps do in fact provide insight into human nature, three books will be discussed and compared: ?Survival in Auschwitz? by Primo Levi, ?This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen? by Tadeusz Borowski, and ?Facing the Extreme? by Tzvetan Todorov.
Primo Levi lived in Auschwitz for ten months during his youth; he recounts his personal experiences in the book ?Survival in Auschwitz.? Beyond the motivation of describing the atrocities he will"

Abstract
This paper presents a brief look at the beginnings and evolution of the Nazi concentration camps. The writer looks at the original purpose of these camps and at their evolution into death camps. The writer also argues that the Jewish people were not the only victims and the prisoners were not just Jews. The writer points out that righteous people, trying to stand up for the rights of their fellow man and people of many different ethnicities and religions were all victims of the Nazi campaign. The writer concludes that World War II and the Jewish Holocaust changed humanity.
From the Paper
"World War II and the Jewish Holocaust is remembered as the darkest moment of humanity in recent history. It is generally believed that the Nazi party, under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, was on a quest to rid the world of Jewish people. The pictures of starving men and women in German concentration camps are probably remembered most. Most people believe that those men and women are the poor Jews hated by all Germans. However, the persecution included people of many faiths and ethnicities. The truth of the matter is that the camps were not originally planned to be extermination plants, and actually for the first few years only a small percentage of prisoners were Jewish."

From the Paper
"If the average North American were to rely solely on the media for accurate information about youth crime, we would have a continent of misinformed people. The media would like us to believe that there is an epidemic of youth crime despite extensive evidence to the contrary. This media attention, however inaccurate, has led the public to demand the justice system deal more harshly with young offenders. The result of this public outcry was the establishment of boot camps for juvenile offenders."

Boot Camps and Troubled Teens, 2008.
A discussion of the benefits of correctional boot camps for
troubled teenagers.

Abstract
This paper examines the advantages of correctional boot camps for troubled teens. The paper explores how the goals and benefits of such a program are being realized. The paper explains that the key to producing new behaviors is discipline and that using discipline in these boot camps produces positive physical and mental effects on the young offender, making him alert and offering him insights into the value of discipline. The paper then looks at how the correctional boot camp (in contrast to the military format) is aimed at correcting behavior through educational and occupational training. The paper points out that the camps that received the most positive public response were those that stressed education. In conclusion, this paper shows that correctional boot camps can produce impressive benefits for the young offender. Whether those benefits actually are realized, however, depends on the design of the boot camp and the types and quality of programs it includes.
From the Paper
"The correctional boot camp originated in 1983 in Georgia and the idea was quickly adopted by other states. Boot camps had become widely popular during the late 1980s. At that time, "state and local agencies operated 30 juvenile boot camps, and larger counties operated 18 boot camps in local jails" (Ashcroft et al. 2). The rationale for the camps was that the same environment which prepares the soldier "is highly conducive to assisting in the correction of first-time, nonviolent offenders, and preparing for their reintroduction into the community" (Zachariah 71). Virtually all correctional boot camps are directed to young offenders with felony charges."

Abstract
Boot camps have been brought to the arena of intermediate sanctions in recent times. A boot camp is regarded as a correctional system in consonance with military style, in which the inmates are imparted with a highly organized and tough routine for training, along with vocational, educational and curative programs. This paper examines how boot camps were started and why they are so important. It examines the pros and cons of boot camps and concludes that while there are limitations to this form of punishment, they have their advantages both for inmates and society at large.
From the Paper
"They enter the boot camps with very little confidence with their abilities or necessity to establish relationships with adults. The camp fosters positive relationships between the boys, and at the minimum, their primary counselor. They attain a sense of their ability to generate and maintain such relationships that contributes to a developed sense of self-worth and the motivation to engage in other positive activities. (Kilgore; Mede, 64)"

Juvenile Boot Camps, 2005.
A look at whether juvenile boot camps are effective forms of justice and rehabilitation.
744 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper shows that juvenile boot camps, although specifically designed to keep youth from mainstream prison, actually increase a juvenile's chances of recidivism after release. While the paper notes the short-term effectiveness of boot camps, it emphasizes the negative long-term effects of the camps. The paper also examines after-care programs for their effectiveness.
From the Paper
"Boot Camps were introduced into the juvenile justice system in the early 1990's as an alternative to incarceration for less serious offenders. It was thought that a militaristic type setting would provide more structure than probation but less structure than incarceration for those offenders who fell in the middle ground of these two. The boot camps were designed to serve as cost effective alternatives to incarceration, promote discipline, instill morals and work ethic, promote academic achievement, reduce drug abuse, hold offenders accountable and produce respectable citizens. They were intended to have a militaristic feel including uniforms and military jargon and follow a rigorous daily routine including drills, discipline and physical conditioning. The amount of rehabilitative and educational programs incorporated depended heavily upon the individual program."

Concentration of Political Influence, 2002.
Examines how the concentration of wealth in Canada is contribution to political influence which governs the market.

Abstract
It appears to be quite certain that the concentration of financial wealth in Canada is leading to a concentration of political influence. One disturbing development in our democracy is that the political state is starting to be governed more by the market than by the sentiments of the voters - even though the market is supposed to be a representation of the peoples' preferences. But in the end, the state has become a symbolic representation of the vested economic interests of one small, but powerful constituency of society.

Abstract
This paper presents to the reader the importance of organized summer camps and programs in youth development. A special emphasis throughout the paper is placed on the influence of recreation on child development and personal growth. By defining the effect of the summer camp experience and presenting relevant statistics from reputable opinion leaders, this paper reveals that summer camp programs play a significant role in the youth development. There are three key development areas discussed in this paper, which include social skills, self-identity and physical/ health.
From the Paper
"Camps offer the opportunity for attendees to gain a wide exposure to different people in different walks of life. Campers come from diverse socio-economic classes, different backgrounds and different family structures. Therefore, the development of compassion and empathy for fellow human beings is a core social development area. Camps offer children opportunities to share stories around a campfire, to contribute their thoughts, ideas and suggestions. As children acknowledge the thoughts and feelings of other children, it is natural to develop compassion for each other. Learning to be understanding, to be civil and accepting of other individuals will aid campers in social situations as they grow older and particularly as they become adults."

The Concentration Ratio, 2005.
This paper evaluates issues relating to concentration ratios in business practice.

Abstract
This paper defines the concentration ratio as the "percentage of market share owned by the largest firms in an industry". The author points out that concentration ratios in business practice emphasize the importance of market competitiveness and the number of firms within a given industry. The paper relates that it is expected that firms will be affected by variables such as prices, brand recognition and product quality in their efforts to promote competition and market effectiveness.
From the Paper
"In a business environment that incorporates the use of concentration ratios, it is necessary to understand the meaning of this term and its application to modern business principles. The concentration ratio is defined as the "percentage of market share owned by the largest firms in an industry" (QuickMBA, 2004). In the example given, it is necessary to consider that a given industry segment with a particular number of firms is typically very competitive, or it is not as relevant in the overall marketing mix (QuickMBA, 2004). Therefore, the example provides a concentration ratio of 30% for the top 20 firms, or CR20. This type of ratio demonstrates that these firms own 30% of the total market share within this industry, and in an analytical sense, this is a relatively low level of competition amongst these firms."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that correctional boot camps for troubled teenagers are therapeutic in-prison and outside programs "that resemble military basic training. They emphasize vigorous physical activity, drill and ceremony, manual labor and other activities" (Ashcroft, Daniels & Hart 2). Every aspect of behavior is subject to strict rules. The paper also discusses the numerous potential benefits that can be produced by these programs such as character development, instilling a sense of responsibility, the promotion of positive self-image, and occasionally reduced recidivism rates to facilities for young offenders. Boot camps can produce attitudinal and behavior change as well as improved coping skills.

Abstract
This paper examines the merits of juvenile boot camps as a way to contain the problem of juvenile delinquency, showing what the camps do and and how effective they are.
From the Paper
"There are many ways to deal with juvenile delinquency: jail, rehabilitation, counseling our all common methods. I will examine juvenile boot camps as a new means of dealing with delinquency. Juvenile care facilities and juvenile detention centers have attempted to contain the problem of juvenile delinquency. These attempts have yielded mediocre results. Juvenile boot camps could turn out to be an effective way of combating the problem."
