Abstract
According to Isaiah Friedman's article, the dominant theme to the discussion between McMahon and Hussein, although he notes, not clearly defined, is Arab independence (Friedman, 84). However, set-up in the initial letter and response, the correspondence between Henry McMahon and Serif Hussein of Mecca during the First World War set the boundaries of a yet-to-be defined relationship, and set the stage for future conflict. From a review of various analyses, it appears that the central issue of descent between these two was not who would control Palestine, but that it was addressed at all during that negotiation.

Abstract
This paper examines how traditional classrooms and correspondence courses are similar in offering different types of learning styles. It also looks at how they are different in that students taking correspondence courses must be actively involved in their learning and motivated, they must communicate with their instructor outside the normal environment such as through e-mail, they must learn to be flexible with different types of technology, and be dedicated in their desire to get their degree.
From the Paper
"While many people may question getting their education through correspondence courses, research shows that correspondence courses have been an educational option for many years. "The earliest form of distance learning took place through correspondence courses in Europe" (Sherry, 1996, p. 337). Correspondence programs continue to be an option for many people today. Actually, these schools and traditional schools and colleges have many similarities when it comes to learning. Correspondence schools and other distance learning programs have benefits that make it possible for some people to obtain their degrees. Traditional classrooms and correspondence courses are similar in offering different types of learning styles, yet they are different in that students taking correspondence courses must be actively involved in their learning and motivated, they must communicate with their instructor outside the normal environment such as through e-mail, they must learn to be flexible."

Correspondence Course versus Classroom Course, 2005.
This paper provides a comparison and contrast of the correspondence course and the classroom course in education.

Abstract
In this paper, the writer shows that the use of correspondence courses can cause a problem through cheating on tests. In this manner, there is no instructor available to make sure that information is being learned and is being tested from memory. The writer discusses that if an online university were to send a test, it would be tempting to find the answers from a text or from other online sources. A classroom course would not allow this kind of testing as the instructor would be present to insure that no cheating occurs when learning to retain subject matter.
From the Paper
"This essay seeks to compare and contrast a correspondence course and the classroom courses available within universities. By realizing the benefit of taking a correspondence course online from home, there is a convenience in learning that allows more people to attain degrees. In contrast to this kind of education, there is also the traditional classroom courses that require the student to show up to class and become involved in the learning process. In this manner, both courses offer clear guidelines that make learning possible, but vary in how they produce results for the modern student."

Abstract
This paper discusses not only who the tyrants were and their terrible deeds, but what the driving force was behind their cruelty. The author shows the extravagance and complexity of their lives and how their political actions led to global consequences and terror.
discusses plots, themes, characters and their importance. It discusses the central elements that drive the book, mystery, conflict, challenge. It also discusses what life lessons the author is trying to convey.
From the Paper
"Each of these men represents an age in history, beginning with the Roman days of Nero to the present day of Hussein. Under the first four reigns we know the consequences of the actions. In other words, we know how the story ends for Nero, Ivan, Stalin, and Hitler. History has shown us how these madmen of politics destroyed lives and countries by persuading their countrymen to follow into their dark bloody hells (Myerson 2000). Hussein?s era is not over, and the ending is yet to be written. However, if we follow history, we might well be able to write his ending today. Unfortunately, through the biographies of each man, one sees all too well that madmen will always exist, and some will have that extra charisma that causes people to turn their heads the other way (Myerson 200)."

Death Penalty - The Execution of Saddam Hussein, 2007.

Abstract
This paper examines the death penalty in the context of the execution on December 30th 2006 of Iraq's ex-president Saddam Hussein. It begins with a brief background of the death penalty (including its history and varying methods used globally) and a brief biography of Saddam Hussein (with an emphasis on his crimes). The pros of executing Hussein are then detailed with reference to how it may act as a deterrent and to how it may be seen as a form of retribution and punishment for his crimes. The paper also looks from the other side at Hussein's execution, paying attention to capital punishment cons such as its possible arbitrariness, wrongful convictions, cruelty and ineffectiveness. The paper tries to be original in that as well as covering all the usual perspectives and attitudes to the death penalty, Hussein's case is presented fairly without prejudice and with a range of varying political (conservative versus liberal), religious (Christian versus Islamic) and personal opinions (including the views of people from all over the world and the authors).
From the Paper
"The 'death penalty' is also known more formally as 'capital punishment' and is the execution of a person who has been convicted in a country's court of law, usually for offences deemed to be of the highest order (known as 'capital crimes' or 'capital offences'). It has probably been around since the apparatus of society needed for it to exist (citizens, the state and courts) has been around. Indeed, the first death penalty laws date back to the 18th century BC in the code of King Hammaurabi of Babylon, which codified the death penalty for twenty-five different crimes. Methods for execution included crucifixion, drowning, beating to death, burning alive and impalement. Historical records show that various primitive tribal communities likely used something similar to the death penalty too. Contrary to popular belief, there was not necessarily a greater rate of executions per capita in such times than at other times. Pre-medieval times were characterized by small communities and members of the community were often reluctant to put to death other members because it would weaken the community and the most heinous crimes such as murder were usually crimes of passion anyway. Financial compensation and isolating the perpetrator of the crime were usually considered sufficient punishment."

Abstract
This essay discusses capital punishment, particularly the hanging of Iraq's ex-president Saddam Hussein. It begins with a background of capital punishment and a biography of Saddam Hussein. It then explores, in detail, the pros and cons of hanging Hussein. The essay utilizes varying political, religious and personal opinions and tries to come to a conclusion as to whether capital punishment in general (and Hussein's hanging in particular) can ever be seen as valid.
From the Paper
"'Capital punishment' is the execution of a person who has been convicted in a country's court of law, usually for offences deemed to be of the highest order. The first death penalty laws date back to the 18th century BC in the code of King Hammaurabi of Babylon. The Middle Ages brought with them a peak in the rate of executions. In England, for example, it was possible to be put to death for any of 222 different reasons. The first recorded execution in the new colonies was that of Captain George Kendall in the Jamestown colony of Virginia in 1608. Capital punishment laws varied from colony to colony. The New York Colony instituted the Duke's Laws of 1665. Beccaria's On Crimes and Punishment theorized that there was no justification for the state taking one's life and gave abolitionists in America an authoritative voice and renewed energy. The death penalty was briefly abolished in the United States in 1972 by the Supreme Court but then reinstated in 1976. In modern times, the vast majority of democratic countries in Europe and Latin America have abolished capital punishment, but the United States, most democracies in Asia, and almost all totalitarian governments retain it."

Saddam Hussein, 2008.
A biography of Saddam Hussein.

Abstract
This paper explains that Saddam Hussein, born in 1937, grew up a poor orphan, forced to live with abusive relatives. The paper relates that Hussein became determined to overcome his difficult childhood at any cost and that, beginning in 1958 when he assassinated a supporter of Iraqi ruler Abdul-Karim Qassim, Hussein spent most of his life trying to control people and the world around him through violent and unthinkable behaviors. The paper then points out that, after becoming the official dictator of Iraq in 1979, he finally had the power to feed his evil nature by oppressing his people and starting wars with weaker countries such as Iran and Kuwait. Hussein was executed by hanging in front of gleeful spectators in 2006 after he was discovered living in a cave following the 2003 war lead by the U.S.and Britain.
From the Paper
"President Bush, father and son, both vowed to take Hussein down, but it was George W. Bush who finally got him captured. After being tortured in American prisons, Hussein was shipped back to Iraq to stand trial in his own country. There he was found guilty of causing over 140 deaths (although the number of casualties throughout his lifetime was definitely much higher). He was sentenced to death by hanging and people cheered in the streets when the execution finally took place on December 30, 2006."

Abstract
This paper provides a brief autobiographical overview of the life of Saddam Hussein, Iraqi dictator. It then focuses on Hussein's military and political career against the backdrop of the 1991 Gulf War and a potential war between the United States and Iraq in current times. The paper examines the way the Western world perceives Hussein, in comparison to how he is viewed by the Arab world, especially by his own people.
From the Paper
"The Untied States is vigorously opposed to Saddam Hussein and his position as ?absolute ruler of Iraq.? A reporter for the BBC news says, ?Saddam has the dubious distinction of being the world's best known and most hated Arab leader.? (Butt) The views expressed by the United States regarding the rule of Hussein are undeniable negative. He has been depicted as ?The Butcher of Baghdad?, a tyrannical, impulsive, despot, a thug and a masterful manipulator. (Stefoff)"

Saddam Hussein, 2006.
This paper presents a psychological profile of Saddam Hussein using B.F. Skinner's theories about behaviorism.

Abstract
This paper examines the personality of Saddam Hussein by considering that personality within the context of B.F. Skinner's theories and musings about behaviorism. The paper briefly outlines some of the salient points of Skinner's theory and then turns to a review of Saddam Hussein's life from his childhood to his blood-stained adulthood. The paper also notes how Saddam's childhood preoccupations with not being cast aside or mistreated fed a massive insecurity complex that made every reversal--however inconsequential--a potentially lethal thrust that needed to parried at any cost.
From the Paper
"There are few things as interesting as the human mind and there is possibly no discipline that is more difficult and potentially error-filled than psychology - precisely because it is the study of the human mind. The following paper will examine the psychological make-up of Saddam Hussein and analyze his actions according to the behaviorist theories of B.F. Skinner. Specifically, time will be set aside exploring what factors in Saddam's formative environment created the brutal dictator who destroyed hundreds of thousands of lives within his own land and threatened the lives of many more outside Iraq's borders. Suffice it to say, for any such discussion to have merit, it is necessary to look at the childhood, adolescence and early adulthood of the man who would, in a very real sense, become monster. In effect, to the extent that Saddam's story is also the story of Iraq..."

Abstract
This paper states, in President Bush s view, all the factors add up to the need for strong action to remove Saddam Hussein from the leadership of Iraq. The author thinks that the United Nations has tried to get Iraq to meet the requirements of the past resolutions, but that Iraq will not go along with the resolutions. The paper concludes that President Bush wants to have the support of many countries in the effort to replace Saddam.
From the Paper
"Saddam Hussein has violated sixteen of the United Nations Security Council resolutions passed to control Iraq s destructive tendencies. The resolutions were passed between November 29, 1990 (the time of Iraq s invasion of Kuwait) and December 17, 1999. The resolutions were not just violated one time, but were violated many times. After the Gulf War, Iraq was supposed to release prisoners, return Kuwaiti property and pay for damages to Kuwait. Iraq had to allow the destruction of chemical and biological weapons and all of its ability to make any more of these types of weapons."

Abstract
This paper discusses the topic of safety and security in two of Alfred Hitchcock's movies: "Foreign Correspondent" and "The Birds". Essentially, using these two films as a backdrop, the paper makes the argument that people feel secure when things are predictable. When things become unpredictable they are insecure.
From the Paper
"Films often offer a glimpse of the social, psychological and political conditions of their times. For example, in "Film Violence and the Institutionalization of the Cinema" J. David Slocum notes, Hollywood cinema has figured importantly in efforts to posit media as significant forces in the consolidation, extension, and continuation of the established social order (Slocum 649). What this means is that films say a lot about the social, psychological and political conditions of the time they were made in. This means that a movie from the 1940s will have significantly different social and political messages then a film made in the 1960s."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein's personality, using Gary Yukl?s "Leadership in Organizations" as a template for understanding his leadership style. The paper discusses Hussein's instrument of control, the Baath Party. It uses Yukl?s Multiple Linkage Model of Leader Effectiveness to assess Hussein?s pursuit of organizational goals. The paper also discusses Hussein's use of force and terror in his role of leader. Finally, the paper looks at Saddam Hussein's positive traits such as strong oral communication skills and his attempt at modernizing his country.
From the Paper
"According to Yukl, ?The use of force is usually discussed in the context of maintaining discipline.? (Yukl, pg. 56) However, he also claims that the potential for the effective use of force in organizations is quite limited, and gives the example of ineffectively run Nazi slave labor camps in World War 2, where universal surveillance was required to maintain the timely achievement of performance objectives. Whereas Yukl suggests that a manager provide sufficient warning before resorting to punishment, (pg. 57) Saddam used to take walks in public, and have anyone who approached him unsolicited beaten to death. He has since stopped because he doesn?t want people to see that he limps. Here he violated several of Yukl?s principles of effective discipline: he neither provided sufficient warning before resorting to punishment, nor did he stay calm and avoid appearing hostile. He also caused civilians to question whether or not he had what Yukl calls referent power or legitimate power: where the subordinate does something because he admires the leader or he is obliged."
