Abstract
This paper explains that, decades ago, erectile dysfunction was a condition only whispered about; today, however, it has become a household word due to public awareness campaigns and media advertisements of both prescription and over-the-counter drugs. It looks at the number of drugs available for treating erectile dysfunction, including Viagra, MUSE, Caverject, Edex, Yohimbine, Cialis, Uprima, and Levitra; several devices, such as vacuum erection devices and the Actis venous flow controller device; and mixtures of injectable medications, such as prostaglandin E1, papaverine, and phentolamine.
From the Paper
"Uprimal is a sublingual dopaminergic agonist that acts in the central nervous system within ten to twenty-five minutes with peak serum level of forty-four minutes and a serum half-life of approximately two and a half hours (Gaines 2003). The dosage is 2 to 4 mg in tablet form and can be repeated every eight hours (Gaines 2003). This drug was effective in clinical trials in men with moderate to severe ED, many of whom had multiple medical problems, and was generally tolerated, with mild nausea being the most common but infrequent side effect (Gaines 2003). Syncope was rarely reported and there have been no reports of cardiac death (Gaines 2003)."

Abstract
This paper describes the rights and power this legislation would grant to the government if officially made law and explains that, while intended as a security measure for protecting the country from internal threats, it will ultimately impede the constitutional rights of America citizens and threaten their civil liberties.
From the Paper
"Thomas Jefferson is often quoted as saying: ?The price of freedom is constant vigilance.? In a large nation dedicated to the individual freedom and liberty of all its citizens, when the nation learns that is has not been vigilant enough is often when a person, or group of persons take advantage of that freedom, and abuse the liberty of others in order to further their own destructive purposes. The tragedy of 9-11 is the most dramatic case of how a nation can take its freedom and liberty for granted. Our commitment to respect the rights liberties of others makes a doorway for those who don?t share our commitments to tear down that which has taken over 200 years to build, protect, and defend."

1,503 words (approx. 6.0 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 49.95
»

Abstract
The paper discusses the gang problem where the dynamics create a cycle of feeling alone, finding a "family" in the gang membership, committing acts of violence for the gang and becoming incarcerated. The paper discusses how the legislative action that is aimed at enhancing punishment packages will provide leverage for those who prosecute gang members, as well as incentives, for those who have not yet been caught, to change their lives. The paper reveals that statistics show that since the introduction of such packages, the gang problem has begun to taper off or stabilize.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The gang issue in America is not a new one. Gangs have been around for many years but in the past couple of years the violence and gang related crime has escalated significantly. Police departments across the nation have developed gang units in which the specific purpose is to target and curtail the area's gang criminal activity. There are many different gangs, with many different names however, they all have certain commonalities in that they are driven by criminal activity, they have involvement with the drug industry and they recruit members to keep their numbers strong."

Abstract
This paper discusses some of the numerous strategies and techniques that exist in which an investor may enhance his or her investment portfolio. It looks at simple and complex techniques. The paper focuses on international portfolio diversification and alternative investment vehicles as methods to use in order to reduce risk while maximizing a portfolio's performance.
Outline:
International Portfolio Diversification
Alternative Investment Vehicles
Convertible securities
Use of Derivative Securities
Conclusion
From the Paper
"International Portfolio Diversification is a viable strategy in terms of maximizing the performance of an investment portfolio. According to Bruno Solnik, "A well-diversified international portfolio can achieve the same risk-reduction benefits as a pure U.S. portfolio that is twice the size in terms of securities." (Solnik, 1974, pp. 48-54) The ability to minimize unsystematic risk with a much smaller portfolio certainly makes sense. Additionally, while many people view international investments as inherently risky, this risk may be diversified away just as easily as with U.S. securities."
"Another appealing fact when considering international portfolio diversification is that international securities may not be subject to some of the same systematic risks as securities in the United States. An unforeseen negative event in the local markets may have no effect on an international security; and may in fact have just the opposite effect. Granted, certain systematic risks may be common to multiple, or all, countries; however, by diversifying internationally, an investor is further hedging against risks that may be particular to a given country or region."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the impact human resource information systems(HRIS) have on organizational function within small and large enterprises alike. Specifically, the researcher analyzes data from various empirical and anecdotal studies reviewing the potential benefits and drawbacks of technology within organizations. Much of the information surveyed suggests that integrated technology applications including use of HRIS, particularly when used in combination with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, help facilitate greater knowledge sharing and streamlined business processes within the organization.

Abstract
Introduction
Critical Analysis
Conclusions
References
From the Paper
"The primary areas of support technological applications provide may include long term and short range planning, providing information about the labor force and training programs, work performance and attendance, compensation and salary forecasts, sales forecasts and contract negotiations as well as information regarding employee relations and key stakeholder information (Cathcart & Kovach, 1999; Ilii et al. 2003). Most organisations are investing in HRIS for the very purpose of supporting each of these areas. Ilii et al. (2003) support the notion that organisations are clamoring to get more information about HRIS systems and train employees and managers in their use, in an attempt to remain competitive in the global marketplace."

Abstract
This paper explores the various aspects of digital painting enhancement from ethical concerns to techniques.

The paper contends digital enhancement should be considered as just another tool for the artist to use.
From the Paper
"Every time technology moves ahead, invading the world of art, we are presented with exciting new opportunities along with difficult challenges. Such is the case with the advent of digitally enhanced painting. Digital enhancement allows us to push the envelope, invent new forms of expression, add rich dimension to old forms and step into the refreshing world of the unexplored. Although digital enhancement is resisted by some people for what are probably excellent reasons, it is embraced by others for reasons just as laudable..."

[1]In the United States alone, 1 million and more abortions could be prevented with more widespread use of emergency contraceptives."

Abstract
This paper examines how there are many different types of performance-enhancing substances available in a variety of markets, some legal and some illegal, some targeted toward athletes and some employed more often for recreational usage. It looks at how, despite the many questions that arise while examining issues relating to substance use in athletics, there is still a failure to examine the multitude and magnitude of negative consequences that can potentially follow any use of performance-enhancing substances, legal or otherwise.
Outline
Introduction
Who Uses Performance-Enhancing Substances
Different Types of Performance-Enhancing Substances
Preventative Measures Against Performance-Enhancing Substance Use
Monitoring Performance-Enhancing Substance Use
Interventions for Performance-Enhancing Substance Use
From the Paper
"Parents should be aware of possible signs that their children are using performance-enhancing substances. If they become worried about substance use, there are a number of interventions that can be utilized. However, performance-enhancing substance use is also monitored on an official level by organizations such as the NCAA. According to Copeland (2002), the testing program utilized by the NCAA was modeled after that in place for Olympic drug testing, with the exception that the International Olympic Committee does not issue sanctions on athletes for some infringements of drug policies.

Performance Enhancing Drugs, 2003.
This paper discusses performance enhancing drugs used by athletes and states that they should be made illegal.

Abstract
This paper explains that performance enhancing drugs can be extremely harmful to the body and can cause many health problems; they also can get an athlete into trouble. The author points out that most of the performance enhancing drugs used today can be detected by quick and easy-to-do testing. The paper relates that a complicating factor in drug detection is that many performance-enhancing drugs occur naturally in the body; therefore, sporting bodies usually set benchmarks, above which, the athlete is said to be guilty.
From the Paper
"The use of enhancement drugs while involved in athletics is not worth what a person can get out of the drugs. There is too much of a chance that one would get caught using drugs by a random drug test. Then not be eligible to compete in an athletic event. This is mostly true in high school and college. If a person gets tested and has performance drugs in his system he would be taken off the team. When this happens to a pro-athlete he would be fined and suspended for a couple of games. "As many as 7% of adolescent males and 4% of adolescent females are using anabolic steroids."

The Morning After Pill, 2007.
A discussion on the FDA's (Food and Drug Administration) decision to not approve the morning-after pill for over-the-counter sales.

Abstract
The writer argues that the morning-after pill is one more strategy for controlling reproduction. The paper examines how the pill offers women a second chance to avoid an unwanted pregnancy, a "Plan B" to go to if the first plan fails. The paper further examines how emergency contraception is safe and reliable and effective for nearly 90% of women. The writer concludes that taking a morning-after pill is far from irresponsible; it makes good sense.
From the Paper
"Emergency contraception is extremely safe. A combined dose of four 50-microgram pills is only about 1/3 of the estrogen contained in a month's supply of birth control pills. Women in the 1960s, when birth control pills first came out, took 50-micrograms every single day! Other medicines, which were once prescription-only, have become over the counter medicines with no problems--why not this needed product? Ferriman (1996) reports, "Nine out of ten women who have had abortions say they would have preferred to use emergency contraception if they had known about it." She also states that 70% of abortions could be prevented by emergency contraception."

The Morning-After Pill, 2006.
An debate on the moral legitimacy of the morning-after pill.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper proposes that birth control would prevent the 800,000 abortions performed annually in the United States. The writer describes how the availability of new emergency birth control, the morning-after pill, has caused the anti-abortion forces to swing into full gear with cries of "immoral" and "irresponsible." The writer argues that for more than 60 million American women of childbearing age, more than half of whom wish to avoid pregnancy, the morning after pill is a product they need and want. The paper explores what the pill is and how it works, answers some of the objections to it, and explains why it is needed.
From the Paper
"Those opposed to the morning after pill say it is just another blow to families. Neff (1997), for example, complains that it was not manufacturers who wanted FDA approval for a morning after pill, but "the so-called women's groups--political advocates of a narcissistic individualism who want to sever sex and its pleasures from reproduction and its responsibilities" (p. 11). If this is so, if it was women themselves who called for emergency contraception, it shows that women want and demand control over their bodies and reproductive capacity."

The Abortion Pill, 2001.
This paper looks at the ethics debate over the abortion pill, RU-486.

Abstract
This paper examines the controversial topic of abortion in the U.S., particularly non-surgical abortion through the use of the pill RU-486. The author looks at the social, legal, political, and cultural issues surrounding the abortion pill.
From the Paper
"Into what is already one of the most intense and polarizing ethical and philosophical issues of the late 20th century in the United States ? the debate over induced abortion ?moves a new element, the medical (i.e. non-surgical) form of abortion that is produced by the use of the drug commonly known as RU-486, recently approved for use in this country by the Federal Drug Administration. Proponents of the drug believe that it will make abortion more accessible to American women as well as less traumatic, both because it can be performed earlier in a pregnancy than a surgical abortion and because the woman herself is more actively engaged in the process. And because RU-486 can be taken in any doctor?s office, women will not have to brace the nearly constant protests at abortion clinics, another factor that should alleviate the difficulty in obtaining abortions."

From the Paper
"Trout and Kazlauskas have noted that Sport plays a major role in the lives of many people, both for active participation and as entertainment. Sport is now a huge nationally and internationally based industry. The desire to win has led some athletes to resort to the use of performance enhancing drugs. With huge financial rewards now available in some sports, the pressure to excel has grown. Some have argued that drug use should be given free rein ... "
