These are important questions in the process of doing a labor analysis in this field. First, what is the main role of a secretary or administrative assistant? This is a difficult question because different secretaries and office administrators do different duties depending on the company."

From the Paper
"Colin Powell, first Black Secretary of State Former General and career soldier Colin L. Powell was appointed Secretary of State by President George W. Bush, and sworn into office on January 20, 2001, becoming the first black Secretary of State in the US.

" Herbert Hoover as Secretary of Commerce, 1921-29
Introduction
Herbert Hoover is remembered today primarily as the hapless predecessor of Franklin D. Roosevelt: the President who, at the time of the Great Crash of 1929 and the beginning ensuing Great Depression, failed to respond either with effective economic policies or dynamic leadership, and was accordingly swept aside in the 1932 election. His unsuccessful presidency in a time of crisis has almost completely overshadowed his prior career.
In the 1920s, however, Hoover was considered one of the.."

Kissinger's Diplomacy, 2006.
A discussion about why Henry Kissinger's diplomacy policy was very different than other American Secretaries of State.
1,541 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Henry Kissinger used a very unique policy of diplomacy when he was Secretary of State during President Nixon's term of office. It explains that Kissinger did not like being a team-player and preferred to make most of the decisions alone. During his term, he focused on the relationship with Europe and the paper discusses how this policy was different to his predecessors.
From the Paper
"In a recent article "History and Henry Kissinger" , Robert Beisner makes a very careful distinction between an American Secretary of State and his corps of diplomats and bureaucrats, and Kissinger, who renounced "diplomacy by consensus", in fact disliked the term "diplomat" and asserted the power of a Statesman in deciding the direction of American foreign policy. In this book, Kissinger's every move seems to have been constructed to overcome the democratic barriers of foreign policy. He did not want team-work. He often disregarded Nixon's memoranda. He wanted to be known for daring, for taking unusual chances, and for succeeding"

No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, 2008.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Secretary of the Department of Education (DOE) from 2001 through 2005, Rod Paige, is a controversial figure. The paper describes Secretary Paige's primary responsibility for the initial passage and implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), which has been the most sweeping educational reform legislation in a generation, intended to raise all schoolchildren in the United States to a uniform level of achievement by 2014. The paper then presents several important issues contributing to the failure of the DOE to fully come to terms with the complexities and enforced uniformities of NCLB. The paper concludes that Paige's own controversial stances and excessively strident political viewpoint may have reduced his potential effectiveness during his term.
From the Paper
"Paige went on to note that with over 15,000 individual school districts in the nation, with assessment and governance standards varying almost on a district-by-district level (and certainly on a state-by-state level), he made it a priority for his department to work closely with each state to institute appropriate assessment and accountability programs. He stated that this first goal was accomplished (in 2003) for all fifty states, in large part due to the cooperation of delegations from many states, which had been invited to meet with DOE leadership in Washington, D.C., to discuss their issues and concerns."

Rumsfeld's Role in Iraq, 2005.
A look at the role that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has played in guiding America's policy on the war in Iraq.
1,258 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how the media has labeled Secretary Rumsfeld as the prominent figure of importance in the shaping of US policy towards Iraq. He is being held solely responsible for its implementation and results. The paper explains how the success or failure of this policy will permanently be linked to him and thus affect how he will be perceived in history.
From the Paper
"The issue surrounding postwar Iraq is symptomatic of concerns regarding overall US counter terrorist measures. Political concerns deal with how well defined such measures are and how quickly and effectively they could be implemented. The war in Iraq, as an example of these broader measures, demonstrated the confusion regarding what the war on terror exactly entailed. Questions were raised after the war as to how it related to the overall war on terror, especially since none of the reasons justifying it were found to be true, such as the weapons of mass destruction claims and Saddam's supposed ties to Al-Qaeda."

Abstract
In 1992, at the invitation of the United Nations Security Council, Secretary-General Boutros Boutros Ghali brought out a wide- ranging, thoughtful and ambitious document which he called "An Agenda for Peace". This defined the United Nations' policies for preventive diplomacy, peacekeeping and peacemaking and made a deep impact on the world in the 1990s. The document was also criticized for some of the UN's failures in the 1990s. This paper reviews the background and contents of the document in point form. It attempts to evaluate the document and its impact and concludes with a review of the aftermath of the document.

From the Paper
"The policy of intervention in internal conflicts without waiting for an invitation or consent of the parties and without a clear mandate proved to be a mistake in subsequent years and resulted in failure of missions to Somalia, Rwanda and Bosnia- Herzegovinia. Some dubbed "An Agenda for Peace" as "An Agenda for Failure".
It did not advocate proceeding with caution for settlement of conflicts. By 1997, it became clear that UN had to exercise caution before plunging headlong into various conflicts.
The document was seen by many nations as undermining Sovereignty and aggrandizing the powers of the U.N. The interventionist provisions were combatted by many non- aligned countries. The Big Five in the Security Council were eager to protect their prerogatives and not allow a greater role to the Organisation. This was manifested in their resistance to arbitration by the ICJ."

Abstract
This paper discusses the public apology made by Kevin Gover, the Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs, to Native Americans for the harsh mistreatment they received at the hands of the U.S. Government. The paper looks at the many aspects of this mistreatment addressed by the apology, and suggests that, although late in coming, a public apology may open the door to reparations for American Indians.
From the Paper
"In his speech, Gover made note of the Dawes Severalty Act, passed in 1887. This act was just one in a long line of examples of the early settlers? inability to understand the ways of the Native Americans. The act was created by whites who believed they were helping weak Native Americans by turning them into farmers and land owners. While this act uprooted the Native Americans from their homes and placed them in reservations, the American government alleged that they were helping, rather than hurting the Native Americans simply because of their belief in the superiority of America and of its culture."

Abstract
This paper examines and discusses "Ex Mex: From Migrants to Immigrants," written by Jorge Castaneda, former Mexico secretary of foreign affairs. The paper briefly describes the history of Mexican migration and the US response to it. It describes the purpose of the book, according to the author and the views that he portrays in it.
From the Paper
"Mexico has to get into this game, as well, in developing a framework of an overall agreement that consists of legalization, expanded provisional labor programs, and border security and border development on both sides. Otherwise, it could be politically indefensible in Mexico. Whereas Mexico's nationalist leadership argues that the Mexican constitution does not allow a limit on freedom of movement, Castaneda replies that Mexico's Federal Population Law necessitates that people leave the country with correct papers from both Mexico and the country to which they are going, and through designated points of entrance/egress."

Abstract
This paper compares two different perspectives on the Holocaust, a secular and a religious one. Rabbi Ephraim Oshry and Avraham Tory's accounts of their experiences in the Kovno ghetto are compared on different levels. While Oshry describes more of the religious aspects of being Jewish and living in the Ghetto, Tory describes the day to day events as the secretary of the Jewish Council of the Kovno Ghetto.
From the Paper
"Rabbi Ephraim Oshry's account of the massacre of the Jews in the Kovno ghetto as told in his writing The Annihilation of Lithuanian Jewry, can be compared to Avraham Tory's account of the Kovno ghetto from his diary Surviving the Holocaust on different levels. On one level we can see how their roles in the community of the Kovno ghetto affected their accounts of the atrocities committed in the ghetto. Rabbi Ephraim Oshry served as a spiritual leader and man of God who instilled faith in the Jews in Lithuania when all seemed hopeless, as Avraham Tory was a more secularized Jew who was a secretary for the Jewish Council of the Kovno ghetto who assisted Dr. Elkes in working to better the conditions of the Jews in the Kovno ghetto. As a result the emphases in their accounts are different. On another level we can compare the two accounts through the different style of writing of each eyewitness. Rabbi Ephraim Oshry compiled his book on Lithuanian Jews after the war, and throughout the book he tells us the way the people in the ghetto perished and survived, which gives us a broader view of the ghetto. Avraham Tory's account is that of his daily diary that he kept during the ghetto in which we have a detailed chronological description of the destruction of the Lithuanian Jews and learn the daily struggles of the people of the ghetto, and especially the responsibilities the Jewish Council faced. Despite these differences in the way the accounts are presented, each account is very detailed in describing when and what happened during each major "Action" or roundup of Jews and is completely consistent with each other."

Albright and Warren's Foreign Policy, 2009.
A comparison of the style and accomplishments of US Secretary of States Madeline Albright and Warren Christopher.

Abstract
This paper compares US Secretary of States, Madeline Albright and Warren Christopher. The paper first relates that Madeline Albright's charming personality enabled her to open significant talks with foreign heads of state, but her agenda to promote United States as the leader of the world hindered her. The paper then compares Albright to Warren Christopher who was the opposite; he was more liked in terms of his work in the area of foreign policy, but he was colder in his diplomatic relations.
From the Paper
"After Albright's trip to Brussels that same year, the US position on the European defense identity was declared there as 'unacceptable, irresponsible and useless.' It was stated referring to the problems they faced that the 'Iron Lady' was diplomatic, but did not promise anything 'to defuse this potential bomb.' On the other hand, regarding Russia, it was noted that Albright's proposal was "attractive from a diplomatic viewpoint because, very obviously, it indirectly concedes to the Kremlin the privileges it demands in its dialogue with NATO. ("NATO-L")" Although she has been considered more diplomatic than former US Secretary of State Warren Christopher, Madeline Albright has been known to be more friendly than useful on the international scene. She can open talks and lead them well, but she has not been expected to help other countries as her main aim seems to be the accommodation of US power around the globe."

Land Mines, 2006.
This paper is a letter to Secretary of State Condolezza Rice to remove land mines.
840 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 29.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the author is concerned because the removal of land mines in foreign countries seems to have fallen from top priority in many areas around the globe. The author points out that the lives of 26,000 individuals will never be the same again, due to stepping on land mines leftover from long ago conflicts. The letter pleads that the administration ratify the 1999 Ottawa Treaty, a pact signed by 142 global states and ratified by over 120 counties that bans the use of land mines around the world in any conflict, but which the United States has so far chosen not to sign or ratify. The paper is written in the form of a letter.
From the Paper
"Perhaps the best solution, Madame Secretary, is not to employ land mines in the first place. As another author and historian notes, using land mines during global conflicts ensures these wars will continue long after peace talks end the battles. He writes, "These wars never really end, at least not for the civilians-- the agriculturalists, pastoralists, and peasants--who must live in the midst of these 'explosive remnants of war.'" Thus, leaving these mines behind ensures eternal conflict and violence in a country already ravaged by war."
