Abstract
This paper takes a look at the state of Rhode Island, with its great historical, economic and political past and its unique state constitution. This paper also takes a look at the success of Rhode Island over the past decade and how it is considered to be one of America's little gems.
From the Paper
"Historically, Rhode Island is quite unique as compared to other U.S. states for several reasons. First, as a colony, Rhode Island broke away from Great Britain on May 4, 1776, a full two months before the other colonies supported the Declaration of Independence. Following the Revolutionary War, Rhode Island refused to join the union, thus becoming the last colony to ratify the U.S. Constitution in 1790. This tendency for stubbornness continued well into the 20th century, for "when the rest of the states approved the Volstead Act which brought about Prohibition, Rhode Island was one of two states to reject it. This soon made it possible for the state to take up, although illegally, bootlegging on a large scale" (McLoughlin, 67)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the two most common debates on how governments should be elected. Eastern Europe has been and continues to go through major, turbulent changes on its way to democracy. It became clear very early on that ?simply? sitting down and thinking of a new way to govern was going to take a very long time. One of the earliest problems that needed to be solved, besides how to govern, was how to elect the new government. The two most common debates, then, were ?President vs. Parliament? and ?Proportional Representation vs. Majoritarian (or Pluralistic) Representation?. This piece explores the merits and pitfalls on each side of both coins.
From the Paper
"Both supporters of a presidential system and supporters of a parliamentary system agree on several elements of the governing systems. First, the more centralized the system, the quicker things get accomplished. It takes a lot more time for a verbal argument to be presented and debated in an assembly than for one man?s synapses to fire in the decision making process. Behind the flagship democratic movement, Solidarity, was a single man, Lech Wal_sa, pushing decisions through. It is argued that this non-democratic form of decision making was necessary to achieve the desired result - that the end justified the means. Regardless, decisions were made quickly in response to the daily problems of mass strikes and city hall demonstrations. As for parliamentary systems, most scholars agree that strong, well-defined political parties are needed (Zielonka, 97). The world of parliamentary decision making is one of compromise and coalition. Without effective parties that reduce the number of shouting voices from hundreds to several, sessions of parliament can easily turn into personal ?slugfests?. Parties are just beginning to truly define themselves in Eastern Europe, emerging from the obsolete umbrellas that united them against a common enemy, and have not had the time to fully develop."

Abstract
This paper describes The Breakers mansion in Newport, Rhode Island.

The first Vanderbilts in America were a family of Dutch farmers who migrated to America in the latter half of the century. They settled in New York originally known as New Netherland and not much is known about their early history."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper follows the course of a legendary myth: "The Feud Between Horus and Seth". The writer examines this myth and finds the parallels to Christianity. It points out that even those who do not practice as Christians are well aware of the Bible's teaching of Lucifer, commonly known as the Devil, and God, a perfect example of good versus evil. The paper begins by reliving the myth of Horus and Seth, followed by the Biblical tale of the fall of Lucifer and the casting to Hell. It then looks at the aspects of these stories and explores commonalities that have transcended time and place to depict this constant struggle for one's very soul.
From the Paper
"There is no rebuke that religion has played at the forefront of the Earth's Religions over time. These Religions or belief systems have ranged in iconology and practice but common threads are clear and concise. Most notably is the idea of "Dualism". Merriam Webster defines Dualism as a "doctrine that the universe is under the dominion of two opposing principles one of which is good and the other evil." With this definition we can further elaborate of the meaning of the concept as an intricate balance, here of good vs. evil. This theme may be as widespread as civilizations needed to classify their residents and at the same time teach them the difference between good and evil. Egyptians used Mythology to educate their society on behavior and religion. Myths are based on rivalry or struggle of the Myths characters."

The History of Coney Island, 2003.
A look into the role of the Coney Island area and attractions from its beginnings as a retreat for New Yorkers in the late 1800s to a thriving amusement park that peaked in the mid 1900s.

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of the Coney Island area historically and as a symbol of New York City. The first section deals with the rich history of Coney Island, beginning as a hotel resort for New Yorkers to visit during vacations. Coney Island landmarks, such as the Coney Island Elephant Hotel and The Iron Tower are discussed with their individual history given. The competition among New York businessmen to develop the area is also investigated, showing how rivals would fight each other viciously over the prime real estate. The paper then talks about the amusement park era and how Coney Island began to transform itself into a nationally recognized location. A section of the paper is also dedicated to the famous Coney Island Freak Show. Finally, the historical section of the paper ends with the lag in business that hit the area after World War II and how Coney Island exists in modernity as a throwback to past generations. The second section of the paper deals with how Coney Island has become a center of cultural pride for New Yorkers.
From the Paper
"Coney Island represented a shift from the old Victorian mentality that many New Yorkers felt during most of the 1800s and into a new outlook of association that contained all citizens of New York City, not just the rich. The privilege of enjoyment was no longer reserved for those with money, but the low prices and massive amount of commercialism that Coney Island would become famous for would aid in the evolution of the city into becoming the representation of all that is America. In light of this optimism, Coney Island also had a darker side. Despite the cultural diversity and economic success the amusement center produced, the achievements concealed the exploitation of certain groups and the corruption that went along with the construction of such a major center of entertainment."

Abstract
When one talks about the most beautiful, exotic, and diverse places on earth, the Galapagos Islands are bound to come up. This archipelago is home to countless species of animals that are totally unique to the islands. The paper shows that preservation and conservation of the Galapagos Islands is of world concern, and many groups are taking part, as well as the government that owns the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. Although these players are not perfect, they are trying to do the best they can in order to save this pristine environment for future generations to enjoy, study, and learn.
Paper Outline:
Brief History of the Islands
Brief History of Conservation Efforts
Efforts by the Ecuadorian Government
Why Should the Islands Be Conserved?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The conservation movement in the Gal?pagos Islands really began in earnest in 1936. It was at this time that various scientific expeditions at the beginning of this century sounded the alarm of the killing of the giant tortoises and of the danger of their eventual extinction. It was at this time that the government of Ecuador took measures for the conservation of the animals. In 1936, the islands were declared a National Reserve with stricter regulations. In 1954 a movement was started to protect the species of the Gal?pagos and to found a center for scientific investigation on the islands."

Charles W Moore & Klotz House, 1994.
Style, design & theory of postmodernist American architect in construction of a private Rhode Island home.

»

From the Paper
"This paper is a study of a house designed by one of the leading postmodernist architects in America, Charles W. Moore. Moore established his reputation with striking and fanciful designs that both blend his constructions into the landscape and separate them out in astonishing ways. His designs for the Sea Ranch condominium remain among the most interesting uses of space and structure, but his conception for a single-family dwelling best personifies Moore's contributions to the direction of American architecture in the latter half of the 20th century. With the Klotz House, designed and built between 1967 and 1970 in Westerley, Rhode Island, Moore offered his own distinctively arresting answers to some of modern architecture's most intriguing questions. The Klotz House stands as a fascinating example of late 1960s postmodernist architectural thinking, yet.."

The Channel Island Fox, 2006.
This paper discusses the conscious conservation efforts to save the Channel Island fox from extinction.
1,910 words (approx. 7.6 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 60.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the petite Channel Island fox, urocyon littoralis, endemic to the California Channel Islands, has become near extinction because of the invasion of non-native species, misguided conservation efforts and rampant canine distemper disease. The author points out that, in an effort to save the San Clemente Loggerhead Shrike, lanius ludovicianus mearnsi, one of the most endangered birds in the world, which is a prey of the Channel Island fox, careless conservation efforts reduced the San Clemente (one of the Channel Islands) fox so rapidly that its population then became endangered. The paper stresses that conservation is more complex than looking at a primary cause alone: For the Channel Island Fox, this means trapping and relocating golden eagles, reintroducing bald eagles, removing feral pigs, replacing exotic grasslands for native ones, and above all, monitoring the foxes. The paper is attractive with many photographs and captions.
Table of Contents:
Scorch and Sizzle
Plagued by an Epidemic
The Hitch with the Shrike
The Flying Catastrophe
Taking a Wider Glance
From the Paper
"The good news is that predator control is starting to work. Since 2004, there have been no golden eagles on the islands of San Miguel and Santa Cruz. San Miguel Island has also released ten island foxes from their captive breeding program to begin to repopulate the subspecies. In addition, all three islands now have a total of 25 resident bald eagles that have been relocated there in order to bring this native species back. The bald eagles kept the golden eagles away once before, so they may be able to do it again."

»

Abstract
Between the years 1892 and 1954 Ellis Island was the veritable headquarters of immigration and naturalization district in the U.S. The island itself was first settled by Dutch colonists and called Oyster Island, for self-evident reasons. This paper will take a brief look at the immigration process through Ellis Island. To develop a better understanding of the immigration process, some of the incentives immigrants faced when deciding to leave their home countries will be brought to light and some of the experiences faced by individuals and their families will also be included as vignettes. In the final analysis it will be clear that Ellis Island, reflecting as it does much of America's immigration at large, has a bittersweet history.

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at Sanibel Island, a popular tourist destination off the western coast of Florida, as a location for a beachfront hotel. This paper is written from a personal point of view as the writer discusses the process of developing a three-story beachfront hotel on Sanibel Island. The writer notes that this planned hotel has raised some concerns among island environmentalists. The writer explains that while the hotel will meet the island's three-story limit and will include a large nature preserve with raised boardwalks so guests do not disturb the environment, other facets of the project are more troubling. The writer concludes that this could end in a situation in which the environmentalists insist that the writer resolves the outstanding environmental issues in return for building just a three-story hotel.
Outline:
Situation and Facts
Issues and Objectives
Strategy plan
From the Paper
"Since a causeway was constructed linking Sanibel Island to mainland Florida, the tourism business has grown significantly and is currently a major contributor to the Sanibel Island economy. This has raised concerns among residents that the pristine environment and many of the islands key aesthetic features could be compromised. As a result, several restrictions have been placed on the development of hotels and tourist attractions on the island. For example, new buildings can not exceed three stories in height, although such restrictions do not exist on similar Gulf islands, because residents do not want to obstruct island views. Also, buildings often must be constructed on stilts or with open first floors to minimize the risks of property damage in case the island experiences flooding."

The Virgin Islands and Tourism, 2007.
This paper discusses the Virgin Islands and looks at the impact of tourism.
807 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 28.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article the writer discusses that tourism, especially in an ecologically sensitive area such as the Virgin Islands, brings with it both positive as well as negative influences and impacts. The writer notes that the central question that needs to be asked is whether the islands can withstand the increasing tide of tourism and the attrition of its ecological structure. The writer points out that the fact that the islands are economically dependent on tourism means that a balance has to be found between a vibrant tourist industry and ecological sustainability. The writer concludes that taking into account the sensitivity of the area one cannot be complacent about the impact of tourism on these islands.
From the Paper
"However, ecologists and other experts are emphatic in their view that there are also real and potential negative factors that impact on the ecological and environmental health of these islands. These include aspects such as over-crowding, environmental problems, destruction of the reefs as well as social and cultural problems that may result from alien influences brought from outside the islands."
"Furthermore, experts also warn of the potential chaos if tourism is left "unmanaged" and solely at the mercy of market forces. An example of what is meant by management is the control of the number of visitors in relation to the available infrastructure."

From the Paper
"His maturity really begins with the arrival of Billy Bones, the old captain Billy describes as having ?breath hanging like smoke in his wake as he strode off? (12). Billy seems a typical roughneck who frightens people but at the same time knows his match and backs down. When he tries to intimidate Dr. Livesey at first meeting, Billy is put in his place with, ?I have only one thing to say to you, sir,? replies the doctor, ?that if you keep on drinking rum, the world will soon be quit of a very dirty scoundrel? (10). This statement gives the reader important insight into not only Billy Bones? vulnerability against authority but also aptly describes Dr. Livesey character. He is an educated and knowledgeable man, well respected for his competence and loyalty. He always does what is reasonable and practical, unlike the impetuousness of the pirates and Jim."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant accident, the most serious nuclear power plant accident in North America. The paper explains that, although there were no direct casualties, the Three Mile Island accident brought about great public opposition to nuclear power and the tragedy at Chernobyl that took place several years later increased this opposition. The paper further points out that, although the Three Mile Island accident took place over 25 years ago, the full impact is still unknown and contradictory data on the impacts on human health exists.
From the Paper
"Three Mile Island Nuclear power has several advantages over fossil fuel. It does not contribute to the greenhouse effect and produces less atmospheric pollution. Unlike fossil fuels we are unlikely to run out of uranium for a while thus using nuclear energy means less reliance on foreign oil. Nuclear power plants do however generate nuclear waste, disposal of which is of great concern as high-level radioactive waste is highly toxic and "by 1995 about 28 000 tons of spent fuel were stored in the United States" (Henderson, 2000). According to some studies, nuclear power is also the cheapest source of energy. It is worth noting that..."
