Abstract
This paper explains that the thesis of this exegesis of "Hosea 11: 1-11" is that, when a nation goes deeply into sin and worships the gods of money and sex, then God sends a prophet to warn the people who are participating in this great sin. This prophet must arise from the people who are sinning and let those who would turn away from the evil in society know how to come back to God. The paer explains that the events in "Hosea" took place during the Assyrian period and then describes the three part structure of this portion. The text of 'Hosea' is included.

From the Paper
"In this passage, Hosea is strongly warning and rebuking the northern Kingdom of Israel for their turning to idol worship and away from God's Covenant with them. Their corruption in matters of their worship and their morals is terrible to behold. In his personal life and in his preaching, Hosea is actively pleading and warning his fellow Israelites to repent and turn back to Jehovah God, a God who has loved them and sheltered them and kept them in times of terrible turmoil. Hosea warns them that if they do not do this, a terrible fate awaits them, as they shall be utterly destroyed."

Abstract
This paper examines not only the data protection instruments but also encompasses various breaches, recognitions and provisions for the interests of national security that over-weighs/surpass dangers to individual privacy in information technology. Chapter 2 deals with the erosion of privacy rights due to Sept 11, and amounts to probably the most significant issue in recent history, as information privacy rights have been recognized for controlling the dissemination and use of data. Chapter 3 has a comprehensive analysis that everyone has the right to be protected under the law and no one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home, or correspondence. Chapter 4 studies means of private communications without the consent of the sender or receiver and deals with breaches of privacy. Chapter 5 reviews data protection instruments in EU and non-EU horizons. Chapter 6 elucidates shocking revelations against terror and a flurry of virus activity resulting in personal data of Arab males being made available to the police to protect data against the war on terrorism. Chapter 7 states the balance between privacy and security risks and suggests that privacy-invasive measures adopted have not been as effective in enhancing security as originally intended. Hence they should not be construed as rivals but rather two sides of the same coin. In Chapter 8, systematic surveillance of the citizen in both the physical and virtual worlds after September 11, 2001 is discussed in detail. In Chapter 9, the war on terrorism by the United States and its allies as well as the discussion and measures about the ways in which the world has changed is dealt with. Chapter 10 details the cooperation and mutual assistance in EU-US law enforcement, namely human trafficking, immigration, and refugees, visas, biometrics and passports, etc.
Chapter 11 addresses security concerns raised in the aftermath of the September 11 attack and interrelated issues involving the movement of people, security at the border and in the skies and various security models/gadgets as well. Chapter 12 gives details of how and why a fund was created for the compensation of victims of Sept 11. Chapter 13, last but not least, wraps up various issues discussed earlier and answers unanswered questions from the introduction.

From the Paper
"Privacy rights have always been something of a stepchild in the family of constitutional rights. Although interpreted by the courts to be one of our fundamental rights, it is not mentioned by name anywhere in the Constitution or its amendments because it is a passive right. Felt only when absent, it tends to get less attention. This is why it became the first constitutional right in the post-September 11 execution line. Whatever the case, we should all be concerned that what has happened to privacy can also happen to other rights. There is always tension in the system, but it was designed that way, and generally we do a good job of balancing the desires of the state with the liberties of the people."

Abstract
This essay is in the form of a letter from the Apostle Matthew to Paul. The letter cogently outlines Matthew's points of disagreement with Paul on issues of doctrine, practice and adherence to the laws according to the Old Testament.
From the Paper
"Dear Paul,
"I have come upon your letter written to the people of Galatia and I am appalled that you take the laws of the Torah so lightly. You claim that you received a revelation from Jesus Christ and are; therefore, an apostle of Jesus. How then could you have misunderstood the reason for his existence here on earth? You have stated, "A man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ" and that "by observing the law no one will be justified." You are preaching this to Gentile Christians, telling them they are not required to obey the Law of Moses. You do this because you believe Jesus came to abolish the Jewish laws, while the opposite is true."

From the Paper
"The word bankruptcy comes from Latin 'bancus ruptus' which means broken bench. The roman custom allowed the creditors to smash the trading counter of the debtors to vent their anger. In 17th century England the debt defaulters were treated as criminals and thrown in the dungeons or given a death sentence. The punishment under the modern laws is not so hard and both debtors and creditors have rights under the bankruptcy proceedings.
In United States bankruptcy is a federal subject. States are not allowed to regulate the bankruptcy although they can make rules for debtor-creditor relationship. Bankruptcy law is contained in 'Title 11 of the United States Code'. It allows a debtor in financial problems to equitably divide his assets among the creditors. The 'straight bankruptcies' or liquidations distribute available assets among the creditors and release the debtors of any further obligations, even if the debts are not paid in full."

Abstract
This paper examines the 9/11 Commission Report: "Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States". It explains all the problems and intelligence failures leading up to the attack. The writer discusses the Commission's recommendations on how to improve intelligence gathering and sharing so as to prevent a future attack. The writer also looks at the Commission's recommendations on how to improve the response of authorities so that if an attack did take place, damage could be minimized.
From the Paper
"The attacks on America on September 11, 2001 caused a major national trauma in addition to the deaths of thousands of people. Two major questions were raised immediately, the first how did this happen, and the second, how can it be prevented in the future? The two questions are related so that finding what went wrong the first time points to what needs to be corrected before any recurrence. To answer these questions, the 9-11 Commission was formed and charged with investigating the attack and making recommendations for the future. The Commission was bipartisan and made up of ten members who issued the required report, which has since been widely disseminated so that the public can judge the job done, can understand the problems found, and can weigh in on efforts made to correct those problems for the future."

From the Paper
"Nowadays, wireless LANs, also known as WLANs, are used widely as an alternative for the wired LANs. In Comparison with the traditional wired LANs, WLANs provide more flexibility and higher ROI (Return On Investment) for both providers and customers. Also in some cases (such as disaster discovery), it is impossible to set up a wired LAN. Since setting up a WLAN does not need a great starting investment (especially in the case of ad hoc operation), it is considered to be an ideal choice for any temporary network connectivity requirement in local scales. For these reasons, the WLAN's productivity has increased rapidly during recent years."

America's Post 9/11 Self-Image, 2005.
This paper discusses the effect the events of 9/11 and post 9/11 measures on America's view of itself in terms of its own might, its ability to secure its own citizens and to detect new kinds of enemies.

Abstract
This paper explains that, as much as America would like to believe that its own self-image has not changed as a result of the events of 9/11, Americans, who saw themselves as the supreme force in the world, are now forced to acknowledge that their might has significant limitations. The author points out that, in the aftermath of the destruction, the United States came to realize that it had prepared for the wrong war by having anticipated another conventional war in which enemies with uniforms from specific nations would square off against U.S. military personnel in armed combat. The paper contends that the manner in which the US attempted to garner support for the war in Iraq is evidence that America's vision of itself has been modified as suggested by President Bush's frequent inclusive of other countries and the U.N. and his moderate tones with international diplomacy.

From the Paper
"Prior to the bloody and vicious attacks against the United States on that bright September morning in 2001 the American self-view of superiority, might and some may even say invincibility, were as solid and as unshakable as the World Trade Towers themselves. Americans saw their own might in the context of previous victories during the prior century and in the light that that was naturally cast by the sole super power in the world. Hence, the Americans viewed their own status as nearly incapable of being challenged let alone defeated. Symptomatic of this self-aggrandizing view was the almost complete ignorance and utter lack of understanding regarding the hate that was directed at the West and in particular directed at the United States. Indeed, the sleeping giant seemed wholly unaware of the growing anger and resentment toward the country. However, with the destruction of the Twin Towers and the resulting actions that were taken after the terrible events of that day, it has been incumbent on the American people to compulsorily revaluate themselves and to make serious changes in the way the nation viewed its own levels of strength that had clearly been at least partially complicit in facilitating the terrorist attacks against the U.S."

Matthew?s Use of Isaiah as Prophecy, 2003.
Five of Matthew's "formulaic passages" are unique because they are taken directly from the book of Isaiah, in this paper, the writer analyzes 5 passages taken from Isaiah's pages.

Abstract
Matthew?s text contains around sixty allusions and citations to the words of the Old Testament within its pages, of which the writer examines ten in this paper. Ten of Matthew?s references to the Old Testament are enclosed in a category of their own; they are referred to as the ?formulaic passages.? The writer focuses on Matthew?s use of Isaiah (passages from Isaiah compose half of Matthew?s formulaic quotations and the writer focuses on five of them: 1:22-23; 3:3; 4:13-16; 8:17; and 12:17-21) as prophecy. It begins with a textual analysis of these passages and then provides an observation of Matthew?s theology of fulfillment through use of the Old Testament.
From the Paper
"Matthew 1:22-23 is the first of the formulaic quotations that I will introduce and is probably the quotation that offers the most debate. Here, Matthew quotes from Isaiah 7:14 to show how Jesus fulfills prophecy because he is born of a virgin and named Emmanuel. The passage reads: ?All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: ?Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,? which means, ?God is with us?? (Matt. 1:22-23). However, M. Eugene Boring in the New Interpreter?s Bible, points out that the context of Isaiah?s passage was God?s promise to Judah of salvation from the threat of the approaching Syrio-Ephriamitic War ?before the child of a young woman who was already pregnant would reach the age of moral discernment,? adding that as a symbol of hope, the child was to be given the name Emmanuel, ?God is with us? (Boring, 135). Boring makes the important argument that Matthew misunderstood the Hebrew translation of the word ?almah (correctly translated as young woman) as virgin (or referring to virginal conception) (135). Boring also notes the importance in the tense of Isaiah?s passage. The conception is not meant to be seen as an event in the future, instead it is directed towards Isaiah?s own time and context (135). Robert Horton Gundry in his book The Use of the Old Testament in St. Matthew?s Gospel, however, would disagree with Boring. Gundry believes that all commentators who fail to see the prediction of a ?miraculous birth of the Messiah in Is. 7:14 neglect to establish one of two things which must be established for those views to stand? (Gundry, 226). Gundry then proceeds to delve into his own argumentative literary analysis of the passage. He begins, ?First, if the ?almah is a virgin, she will lose her virginity, conceive, and bear? meaning that if the young woman is in fact a virgin, she will not be much longer. However, if the woman were married or marriage was contemplated before the conceiving and birth, the text would be expected to say ?ishah or wife (Gundry, 226). The text's tense also suggests that the pregnancy has already begun, so therefore the conception and birth of the child must take place before or without the young woman's becoming ?ishah (226-227). He continues, ?Second, if marriage is not contemplated, ?almah is used in the sense of a young married woman.? He concludes, ???Almah refers to a mature young woman of marriageable age, but unmarried and presumably virgin unless otherwise stated? (Gundry, 227). Gundry therefore disagrees with M. Eugene Boring and concludes that Matthew correctly interpreted Isaiah?s passage. Given Gundry and Boring?s separate arguments, are we to say that Matthew interpreted Isaiah correctly or incorrectly? And how would the answer to this question effect Matthew?s use of Isaiah as prophecy? This raises an interesting and likewise important question about the impact of Matthew?s correct and/or incorrect interpretations of the Old Testament (such as Isaiah) that will be addressed later."

Carl Jung and 9/11, 2006.

Abstract
In this article the author looks at the events of 9/11 and its aftermath through the eyes of Carl Jung. He examines how Jung would have reacted to the events of 9/11. He points out that Jung believed very strongly in coincidence. But, would he have thought that 9/11 was a coincidence, something hidden in the collective unconsciousness. Maybe the unconscious beliefs of government officials, the CIA and FBI who knew that there was something going to happen, but didn't know when or where or even how. The paper goes on to describe how Jung would have categorized the different reactions of the American people after 9/11 in his terms of introvert and extrovert personalities. The author examines the different archetypes that Jung proposed in terms of 9/11. The paper concludes with the statement that even Jung would have not have been able to explain the "why?" of the terrorist attacks and what they hoped to accomplish.
From the Paper
"Jung dreamt a great deal about the dead, the land of the dead, and the rising of the dead. These represented the unconscious itself -- not the "little" personal unconscious that Freud made such a big deal out of, but a new collective unconscious of humanity itself. It would be interesting to assume that the thousands who died at the World Trade Center, the Pennsylvania field and at the Pentagon were somehow part of a Jungian dream. But, while we might think of Freud and Jung as seeing psychosis in dreams, Jung was more realistic. "Jung felt that, if you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem" (Boeree 1)."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of terrorism. Specifically, it examines the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks (9/11) that destroyed the World Trade Center and caused thousands of deaths. The paper attempts to determine what we have learned from the attacks and what has been done since 9/11 to prevent future attacks.
From the Paper
"Few Americans will dispute that the nation, and even the world, has changed since the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Two researchers into terrorism wrote, "Since September 11, America has been on a war footing, with armed soldiers standing guard at our nation's airports, enhanced security at nuclear power plants and other vulnerable locations, and military jets flying combat air patrols in order to intercept and shoot down hijacked commercial aircraft" (Klinger & Grossman, 2002). Before the terrorist attacks many Americans felt that something as devastating as the 9/11 attacks could never occur here. They were wrong, and the attacks proved the country is indeed vulnerable and open to attack from afar. The country learned the hard way that there is much more that can be done to prevent terrorist attacks, and that sometimes personal freedom has to come second to national security. As the aftermath of the attacks overtook the country, American learned that many industries, such as the airline industry, were also vulnerable to lost business because of the attacks, and thousands of people lost their jobs as industries cut back to cut costs."

Abstract
The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 represented an event of such enormity that it demanded a full and timely investigation and the U.S. government's Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States ('Final Report') attempts to do just that. This paper provides the background of the events of September 11, 2001. The paper discusses what the significant impacts of the report are to the nation and what lessons have been learned from the report. An assessment of the Final Report's effectiveness in addressing the issues it identified is followed by an analysis of what role Homeland Security authorities should play in the future to prevent a recurrence of the barbaric attacks of 9/11. The author's personal views on the report and a summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks drastically changed attitudes about personal freedom in the United States; fears that a terrorist could strike at anytime, anyplace made individuals more willing to endure personal inconveniences, such as longer lines at airport security and baggage checks in subway stations. This fear also compelled the U.S. government to implement measures that it believed would help track down terrorists and prevent future attacks (Schaffer 2003). The 9-11 Commission's Final Report purports to provide a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks, including the level of preparedness for and the quality of the immediate response to the attacks; the report also includes recommendations designed to guard against future attacks (The 9-11 Commission Report 2004). The report states that authorities in the United States knew, or should have known, that Islamic fundamentalist terrorists would attack the U.S. at some point, and that the World Trade Centers represented a favorite target, having been attacked once before already.

After 9-11, 2008.
Looks at attitudes and events leading up to 9-11 and the changes in the U.S. after this terrorism.
3,220 words (approx. 12.9 pages), 11 sources, APA, $ 92.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper states that 9-11 should not have been such a surprise because the country really should have expected that something like this would happen especially given the World Trade Center attack in 1992. The paper relates several reasons for 9-11, including the U.S. support for Israel, the U.S. failure to understand Islam and the first Gulf War. The paper also identifies responses to 9-11, such as attacking the terrorists wherever they can be found, the Patriot Act and other powers that the Bush administration have taken. The paper then examines the Patriot Act as the primary legislation designed in part to correct perceived lapses in law enforcement, to fill holes in security, to stop terrorists from getting the funding they need, and to alter certain laws in order to make the job of law enforcement easier in terms of fighting terrorism.
From the Paper
"The attitude that McAlister (2001) identifies is orientalism, the image of the "Orient" expressed as an entire system of thought and scholarship and as seen in popular media during any given era. McAlister writes well and has shaped her argument in a logical and chronological fashion at one and the same time. In the popular media, such an attitude serves as a kind of shorthand that also has pernicious effects. The use of the Arab as a villain seems to have increased in recent years in a way that shows that Americans have an antipathy to Muslims, fueled, no doubt, by certain events on the international scene."

The Gospels of Matthew and Luke, 2005.
This paper discusses the literary and theological devices used to describe the death of Jesus, according to the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
2,040 words (approx. 8.2 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 64.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the description of Jesus as the merciful messiah is especially prevalent in the Gospel of Luke, as he emphasizes the power of forgiveness; whereas, Matthew, whose account is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, highlights the wisdom and justice of Jesus's teachings. The author points out that the question of the sources for the Gospels of Luke and Matthew has been debated often, with most scholars leaning towards the two-source hypothesis. A manuscript of Jesus's axioms and sayings, often referred to as the "Q" source, which would have served as a source for both Luke and Matthew or an earlier version of Mark's gospel. The paper relates that the story of the death of Jesus illustrates Jesus's failure to see that the connection between Jesus's and humanity's relationship with God leads to his persecution and subsequent death; however, in his death, mankind finds salvation and the opportunity to once again discover and enter into a covenant with God.
From the Paper
"Jesus as the suffering servant is an overarching theme that is especially characteristic of Matthew's account of the death of Jesus but also found within Luke's gospel. When the Roman soldiers deride Jesus as the "King of the Jews" and give him a mock robe, crown, and in Matthew's gospel a scepter, Jesus suffers just as the real King of the Jews in Psalm 22. The continued mockery by the crowd also fulfills Psalm 22 as it reflects the two charges against Jesus: the threat to destroy the temple and the claim to be the Son of God or Messiah. Even Jesus' last words continue to illustrate the theme of a righteous sufferer, as they are a direct quotation of Psalm 22:1. Furthermore, the rejection of Jesus, who is essentially God's prophet, is done by the entire leadership of Israel, a clear allusion to the prophets of the Old Testament who were similarly persecuted by their own people. Jesus' response to the charges by the Sanhedrin is also remarkably similar to Jeremiah's testimony when he was on trial."l

Chris Matthews' "Hardball", 2008.

Abstract
This paper explains that, unlike scholarly works of political science, Chris Matthews in his book "Hardball" employs a highly readable journalistic style and brevity of expression, which will ensure the book's status as a modern-day version of Machiavelli's "The Prince". The paper points out that Matthew's compendium of handy quotes and anecdotes, when applied to the rarefied sphere of politics, tend to carry a considerable amount of truth. The paper also explains that Matthew's book focuses on the highest levels of political power including many case studies of former presidents. The paper then offers of brief biography of US President Bush and applies three of the book's aphorisms to Bush's political career.
From the Paper
"Another defining aspect of the Bush presidency is the sanctified doctrine of "it's not who you know; it's who you get to know." In other words, personal relationships are as important - if not more important- than professional competence, diplomatic savvy, and political intelligence. This principle has guided George W. Bush since his days as a baseball league owner, and it continues to do so during these dying days of his presidency: "The lesson is obvious. If you want to do business with someone, don't forget the personal aspect.""

The Gospel of Matthew, 2007.
This paper discusses the Gospel of Matthew, which was one of four gospel accounts of the life of Jesus.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article the writer maintains that the Gospel of Matthew is considered by many as the inspired Word of God and contains an account of the life of Jesus. The writer also notes that it covers how Jesus fulfilled the Prophecy of his being the Messiah. The writer discusses that even though Matthew tried to make this writing a book of how Christians should act in the church, he also related the story of Jesus' life and the texts of his sermons. Further, the writer claims that when Matthew did this, future readers were able to hear Jesus' exact words on how to love each other and to treat each other with forgiveness and respect.
From the Paper
"In the Book of Matthew, the first two chapters cover the whole history of Jesus, from the listing of his generations and lineage, the story of Mary and Joseph's engagement through the birth and how they raised Jesus to be a man in their home.
The third chapter is about John the Baptist and how he baptized Jesus. Chapter Four begins Jesus' ministry, when he went into the desert to fast and pray, but was tempted by the devil. After that he began his preaching ministry. He gathered the disciples, Simon, Peter, Andrew, James and John, who were fishermen, and they followed him throughout Gallilee. The rest of the book of Matthew, from Chapter 5 through 26, tells the stories of his preaching and firing up the people. This section can be divided into the Sermon on the Mount, the mission Jesus gave his disciples, the Parables, the "Church Order" in which he talks about Christian relationships."
