Abstract
The original argument was that cigarettes caused Ms. McCabe's cancer because she was not aware of the health risks involved in smoking cigarettes. The appeal argument stated that the destruction of documents interfered with a fair trial. This paper explores in detail if the destruction of documents by the tobacco company, in order to hide information concerning the health risks of cigarette smoking interfered with a fair trial.
From the Paper
"The entire concept behind the documentation retention policy is the reason in question as why the documents were destroyed. The courts have decided that the tobacco company was in their legal right in destroying the documents. But although they have been destroyed lawfully, the intention behind the documents may have interfered with justice. Were the documents destroyed to create more space, to be more cost and time efficient; or were they destroyed because they contained valuable evidence that related cigarette smoking to lung cancer? "

From the Paper
"Tobacco is much in the news with the historic agreement between a group of 40 state attorneys-general and the major tobacco companies concerning a settlement over tobacco litigation. It might seem that tobacco has been so thoroughly demonized that tobacco stocks would be a sour investment, but in fact the agreement offers a number of reasons why tobacco stocks would be a good investment at this time.
The agreement will mean that the industry has to pay some $368.5 billion and will also be subjected to new rules to reduce the advertising possible for tobacco, to eliminate vending machines, and to tie the future of tobacco to a lowered rate for smoking by young people. The industry will also have to place blunter warnings on cigarette packages. The industry also must acknowledge the authority of government to regulate nicotine. The ..."

British Film Industry, 2008.
This paper provides a critique of the processes of British film in
respect to the influence of American film.

Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that the British film industry often frames itself in respect to its counterpart, the American film industry. The writer notes that movies made in the United States typically gross larger sums than British films, a point that has long motivated the British film industry to identify American movie-making as a more profitable model. The writer argues, however, that the emulation of American films by British studios has typically fallen short of projections: the British film-going audience, which hungrily devours American blockbusters, is surprisingly hesitant to engage in films that are made in Britain and utilize American-style plots, cinematography, acting, and special effects.
Outline:
Introduction
British Film Media
Issues of Consideration in British Film
British Film and American Film
Summary
From the Paper
"When this process occurs, the value of a film made by a British film studio is challenged. The outcome is problematic, as the film itself may contribute to the British film industry as a composition with significant artistic merit, but the lack of financial incentives indicates that there is a strong potential for the film to get "lost" in the cinematic archives. Films that have permanency within an audience are not necessarily those with the greatest intrinsic merit but are instead those that have had backing through a strong studio and have created a market identity through advertising, widespread distribution, and so on. A film that communicates a strong message or has profound artistic composition will not necessarily become a permanent achievement in the film industry, and for most investors and studios an obscure picture might as well have never been made."

Abstract
This paper explains that, as early as the 1800s, scientist began to recognize that nicotine was so poisonous that it could be used as an insecticide and that pure nicotine could kill humans. The author focuses on the dangers of secondhand smoke because she is appalled that, in the 21st century, there is still disbelief about its danger. The paper stresses that the taxes and laws that have come to fruition over the past 20 years are from nonsmokers speaking out. The author feels that, if the majority of smokers feel they have a right to be intolerant of nonsmokers who wish to live a healthier life, then they should have to pay for the privilege of smoking. The paper concludes that smoking, if not banded, should be taxed so high that it is unaffordable.

Again the supposed medicinal purposes of tobacco resulted in extreme popularity in Europe as it did in America. Thomas Harriet has the historical place in history as being the first to promote the smoking of tobacco as a way to get your recommended daily dose. It must be noted that Harriet died of nose cancer thought to be caused by exhaling the smoke from tobacco through his nose which was popular at the time."

Abstract
This essay details Australian colonization (beginning with the First Fleet in 1788) and settlement by the British through to the early 1900s. It examines the changing relationship between the two countries after WWII. Post WWII, the USA took over from Britain as the biggest investor in Australia and thereafter, Australia?s political allegiance changed to the US. The relationship between Britain and Australia is still extraordinarily strong, but it is not the same relationship that existed for so long during Australia?s early years under European settlement. The essay looks at the present-day economic, political and cultural ties between the two countries.
From the Paper
"What have been the most important historical features of the relationship between Australia and Britain? How important is the Australia-Britain relationship for Australia today? How important is the Australia-Britain relationship for Britain today? Colonization of Australia by Britain began in 1788, officially to set up a penal colony but also to establish a trading base in the Pacific. It started with the arrival of the First Fleet of about 250 marines and 730 convicts at Port Jackson, and the establishment of Sydney Town and the colony of New South Wales."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how although Australia is in essence a democratic society which subscribes to the democratic principle of government by the people for the people, there are some areas of Australia that can be improved to make Australia more democratic. It focuses on two of these areas: the whistle-blowing system and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation's ability to publicise scientific information or opinions on government policy issues. The paper argues that by altering the current state of these areas, Australia could become more democratic. It does this by explaining why these areas are important in the building or maintenance of democracy in Australia, how they are being threatened and what could be done to eliminate these threats and change these areas into their potential democratic base.
From the Paper
"It has recently been found that the Australian Government has been censoring the publication of scientific information. Specifically; scientific information related to policy-issues such as greenhouse gas emission targets and environmental refugees. These allegations were aired on ABCs television show 4 corners and claimed senior Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) scientists have been regularly gagged by the government from commenting on such issues. This information came from senior CSIRO scientists who have also explained that the threat of reduced funding was the strategy used in stopping them from speaking out. Scientific censorship of any sort by the government is a serious breach of democratic principles. "

Abstract
The paper discusses how there can never be an ethical dilemma, because one of the prima facie obligations always outweighs the others and becomes the absolute obligation. In this case, it is evident that the state government has many areas of consideration. The paper explains that there are those within society that have been adversely affected by the use of tobacco and tobacco products, there are the tobacco companies that have produced the products, the health care facilities that treat individuals with illness caused by these products, the tax payers that must pay for health care which the patients cannot afford and the states that must absorb the cost of the health care.

Outline:
Introduction
Current Regulations of the APRA/ Powers of the APRA
Explicit Deposit Insurance - Advantages
Explicit Deposit Insurance - Disadvantages
Disadvantages of Explicit Deposit Insurance
Does Australia Need the System Proposed by the CFR?
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to the government in Australia who has identified an issue that it states "would arise on closure of a distressed financial institution, it has also identified an issue which would arise on closure of a distressed financial institution. In these circumstances, there is currently no mechanism for providing depositors/policy holders with access to their funds on a timely basis. While the relevant legislation give depositors/policyholders first claim on the assets of a failed institution, it makes no provision for timely payments. Given the lengthy nature of the wind-up process, it could take many months, or even years, before funds are available for distribution." (Council of Financial Regulators - Failure and Crisis Management in the Australian Financial System 2006) This would be expected to results in financial hardship for many homes and businesses and place a great deal of pressure on the Government to "do something". (Council of Financial Regulators - Failure and Crisis Management in the Australian Financial System, 2006) The Council states that this "is an inappropriate outcome both for the more vulnerable members of society" (Ibid) as well as for the Government. The Council states that it is: "not attracted to the cumbersome pre-funded deposit insurance and financial system guarantee schemes found in other countries."

Abstract

From the Paper
""Of all drugs, legal and illegal, tobacco is the greatest killer" even though there are restrictions on tobacco products (Tobacco laws). Dating back to President Clinton, presidents and the Congress has passed laws on restricting tobacco sells and restricting tobacco advertisements. Yet, the statistics of people who smoke remain about the same. As the lives of children, teenagers, and adults are at stake from the danger of tobacco products, more restrictions need to be placed on selling tobacco products and restricting advertisement of tobacco products. "When President Bill Clinton announced in August his intention to implement Food and Drug Administration restrictions on the selling of cigarettes, he hastened to assure the nation's tobacco growers that he felt their pain" (Goldman 25)."

Ideological Assumptions of the British Welfare Regime -1945 to Present, 2003.
A discussion of how the British welfare regime has been profoundly shaped by ideological assumptions about family, work and nation in British society.
2,219 words (approx. 8.9 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 68.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how since the implementation of the modern British welfare state in 1945, the various regimes have been organised around an ideological triangle of family, work and nation. It looks at how this concept draws attention to the way in which welfare policies and practices are the product of a society characterised by normative representations of class, race and gender, which in turn determine the constitution of welfare citizenship. It shows how since 1945, ideological assumptions underpinning the social settlement have altered along with the changing political, economic and social landscape of Britain. It maps these changes, demonstrating the consequences for the development of successive welfare regimes. It also gives a chronological account of the way in which assumptions about class, race and gender influence welfare policy and practice.
From the Paper
"During the immediate post-war years there was a significant labour shortage and so the British government began a deliberate policy of encouraging immigration from Commonwealth countries. The British Nationality Act 1948 enshrined in law the right of Commonwealth citizens and their families to work and settle in Britain. However, many migrants found that despite Commonwealth citizenship, their immediate welfare needs were not being met (Clarke et al, 2001). For example, the eligibility criteria for provision of public housing, with regards to length of residence, served to exclude the newly arrived migrants."

Abstract
This paper discusses what life was like on the Tobacco Coast as opposed to New England in the 17th and 18th centuries. The paper describes the relation of these two places to Great Britain, as they had initially been colonies thereof. The British influence on all spheres of life on the Tobacco Coast is explored in the paper and explained as the direct result of the bay culture. The paper examines the total opposite phenomenon in New England, claiming that this was due to the fact that this colony had been founded because of a disagreement with the British Crown.
From the Paper
"The Tobacco Coast was dependent for its existence and the cadences of its life on the Great Chesapeake Bay. This is described as "a vast inland sea thrusting its deep estuaries and logn tidal reaches far into the wooded coastal plain" (Mason & Middleton, 1953, p. 30). It was first settled in 1607, and thereafter, the region flourished more luxuriantly than the Virginia Council dared hope in 1609 when it prayed God "so to nourish this graine of seed, that it may spread till all the people of the earth admire the greatnesse, and seek the shades and fruite thereof" (Quoted by Mason & Middleton, 953, p. 30). Its numerous rivers and creeks, spread out over a wide estuarine area, were compared by the early settlers to 'veins in humane Bodies' because they were so numerous and so intricately interconnected. One visitor predicted that the Chesapeake tidewater would eventually become "like the Netherlands, the richest place in all America" (Quoted by Mason & Middleton, 1953,p. 30)."

Tobacco, 2002.
This paper examines the addictive qualities of tobacco and argues in favor of outlawing its use in the United States.

Abstract
This paper presents presents a detailed discussion on why the use of tobacco should be made illegal. The writer takes the reader on an exploratory journey of the issue of tobacco and its addictive qualities. The writer details the health care issues associated with tobacco use, investigates the cost to taxpayers among other issues. The writer also discusses several proposals that may help to cut down or discourage tobacco use, including increased taxes, more coordinated governmental and international control over its distribution and the removal of legal protections for tobacco companies.
From the Paper
"The outlawing of tobacco products would seriously cut down on the use of tobacco. Those who are stringent about obeying the law would find ways to stop and those who had not started would refuse to take up the habit. In addition it would allow the collection of funds for the purpose of furthering the campaign against its use. (Bigger, 1993) In 1990 alone tobacco use contributed to 400,000 deaths in the United States. This made it the leading cause of death, even more so than from guns or AIDS. This is reason enough to outlaw its use. The discovery in recent decades of the tobacco industry?s purposeful addition of addictive chemicals to their product is enough to ban tobacco use in America. Tobacco use has no positive benefits at all."
