Abstract
This paper describes the role of the National Association of Social Workers, a US membership organization for social work students and practicing social workers. The primary functions of this organization include promoting the professional development of its members, establishing and maintaining professional standards of practice, advancing sound social policies, and providing services that protect its members and enhance their professional status. This paper additionally explores the topics of social work job opportunities, professional development opportunities, and the social work 'Code of Ethics'.
From the Paper
"The social work Code of Ethics is a set of guidelines that social workers must adhere to. The Code of Ethics is broken
into two parts; ethical standards and ethical principles. Ethical standards pertain to different values that social workers must possess themselves in order to carry out the social work mission. The values include; service, social justice, dignity and worth of person, importance of human rights, integrity, and competence. Without these core values it would be impossible for a social worker to effectively help and empower his or her clients. Ethical principles refer to the rules that social workers must follow in regards to their relationship with clients, colleagues, and society, as well as, their responsibilities as a professional (NASW, Washington D. C. Chapter, 2007 Code of Ethics)."

Abstract
This paper argues that the present depiction of multiculturalism in the NASW's Code of Ethics, as a kind of social worker capability, is imprecise and can lead to the encouraging of unintentional stereotyping. The paper also asserts that it is uncertain whether or not licensing boards can correctly determine a social worker's ability in this subject. Instead, multiculturalism, as part of the social worker's code of ethics. has turned out to be more of a statement of belief to which social workers feel obliged to adhere than a body of knowledge that enlightens the practice of social work.
From the Paper
"The rational positioning of the idea is an ethical principle concerning righteous social work practice. The standard embraces the understanding of a customer?s manners, thoughts, as well as feelings in the complete background of the religious, sociocultural, ethnic, as well as economic life within which all of these take place (Comas-Diaz, 1996; Green, 1995). Respect, understanding, as well as appreciation for the customer are the eventual expressions of whatever may be proposed by the conception of multiculturalism."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in 1871, the National Rifle Association (NRA) was organized by two Union army officers, who were upset by the poor marksmanship of their troops during the Civil War, to provide civilians with firearms training and to encourage shooting sports. The author points out that the NRA established a Legislative Affairs Division in 1934 and, forty-one years later, the Institute for Legislative Action to lobby legislators actively. The paper relates that the organization's emphasis upon the utility of guns in protecting law-abiding citizens is a major reason for the NRA's success. The author concludes that, while NRA is often criticized sharply, it deserves credit for its political acumen, for spearheading gun education initiatives and for introducing the "other side" in the gun control debate.
From the Paper
"Not to be overlooked, the NRA is not afraid to play "hard-ball" as its punitive campaign against House Republican Peter P. Smith a number of years ago makes clear; in fact, the NRA - by as early as the late 1980s - was well-known on Capitol Hill for its ambitious mass-mailing programs and for its ability to mobilize its membership (and presumably sympathetic private citizens, as well) to "flood" representatives with letter and mailgrams. In addition to the tactics discussed above, the NRA has become well-known for distributing copies of videotape outlining its position on controversial issues ..."

Abstract
This paper presents a flattering profile of the National Rifle Association. The paper asserts that the NRA not only funds activities that support the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, but it also promotes safe and responsible gun ownership. The paper takes an historical look at the NRA and briefly reviews some of the controversy associated with the organization.
From the Paper
"The NRA was established by Colonel William C. Church and General George Wingate in 1871 in response to a ?lack of marksmanship shown by their troops? (NRA). Their dominant reason for establishing the NRA was to ?promote and encourage rifle shooting on a scientific basis? (NRA). In 1934, the association established the Legislative Affairs Division as a result of ?repeated attacks on the Second Amendment rights? (NRA). In 1975, the NRA established the Institute for Legislative Action, because it realized that the Second Amendment deserved to be protected."

Abstract
This paper examines how the National Rifle Association (NRA) was established in the United States over a hundred and thirty years ago for shooting pistols and rifles as sport. In particular, it looks at how the NRA has celebrated many successes over the years in its efforts to protect gun rights and freedom and how the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action has worked for more than a decade to reform the Gun Control Act of 1968.
From the Paper
"Although the grassroots lobbying organization receives some funding from National Rifle Association member dues, member contributions for the purpose of legislative activity is the group's main source of revenue. There are important regulations and restrictions that govern the NRA's political activities, particularly those relating to fund raising activities. Federal and many of the state election laws order that money used to support candidates for political office be raised separately from the member dues and contributions. They are able to support candidates legally by raising funds from generous NRA member contributions and putting it toward the NRA's political action committee- the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF)."

From the Paper
"The debate over gun control in America involves beliefs about the meaning of the Second Amendment, the precise meaning of "control," fears of gun confiscation, and other questions about gun ownership, the use of guns to commit crimes, the number of deaths attributable to guns each year, and so on. For those who propose or support gun control in some form, the issues may shift from time to time, with some groups seeing one aspect of the problem as more important and others emphasizing some other aspect. Opposition to gun control is often led by one organization, the National Rifle Association, and as a rule the issues never change for that group or its members. The NRA has a long record of absolute opposition to any form of gun control, a record broken only recently and only in order to prevent even greater gun control than was being proposed. The NRA has been..."

From the Paper
"The National Rifle Association (NRA) is in the midst of a disturbing transition from soft-core gun advocacy to hard-core radicalism. The organization's traditional programs such as hunting, marksmanship, and safety have taken a back seat in recent years as the NRA seeks to increase membership by broadening its appeal to the segment of society that perceives the federal government as a threat to its Second Amendment rights. Despite criticism that NRA rhetoric is contributing to the proliferation of paramilitary group violence in the United States, the gun lobby refuses to compromise its relentless opposition to gun control in any form.
The NRA, established in 1871, boasts an estimated 3.5 million members, its highest membership in history. The organization's early members were ex-military men, National ... "

From the Paper
"This paper will examine the National Rifle Association and its relationship with the Congress of the United States. The research will investigate how the National Rifle Association has attempted to influence Congress and what decisions Congress has made concerning the National Rifle Association's interests during the 1980s. A substantial part of the investigation will compare what is found in the research with what is asserted by Barbara Hinckley in her Stability and Change in Congress. Hinckley writes with regard to interest groups in general that they are most successful when they are comprised of individuals who are representative of voters in the home districts of Congressmen. That is, the "Washington Lobbyist" does not have the influence of the lobbyist who is truly in touch with voters back home vitally interested in the issue."

Abstract
This paper relates that there is a delicate and complex balance between the social worker's power and the right to self-determination of the client. The paper then discusses and examines this power imbalance and looks at how such power imbalance between the social work and client implies certain responsibilities on the part of the social worker. The paper also demonstrates that the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Ethical Standard 1.02, i.e. Self Determination, implies that the social worker has some responsibility to empower the client so that the client is able to achieve self-determination. In addition, this essay also discusses a situation in which the social worker may be relatively powerless, as well as situations in which it might be prudent for the social worker to restrict the client's right to self-determination.
From the Paper
"For example, the social worker should not try to dissuade a woman from becoming involved with a particular man on the basis that the social worker believes this man is not a good influence and should not be around the woman's children. In particular, if the social worker implies to the client that the social worker will withhold certain benefits from her if she does become involved with this man, this would constitute abuse of the social worker's power over the vulnerable client."

Abstract
This paper examines the author's view of the NRA, one of the biggest and most controversial interest groups in the United States, by stating the positive aspects of particular amendment. The writer also discusses a short history of the NRA including policies and its effect on government and society.
From the Paper
"The reason the NRA is one of the best interest groups in America is because it is true to its roots. Instead of branching off and attempting to affect other areas of our society, this interest group keeps to its core statement of purpose, which is to protect our right to bear arms as accorded to us by the second amendment. Since it has so much singularity of purpose, it has been able to dominate the political landscape. The NRA is one of the most effective lobbyist groups in Washington and across the United States. Its far reaching hands ensure that no anti gun legislation is passed without contest by the NRA itself. I support this organization first and foremost because I believe in the protection of our constitution right to bear arms, but that is not enough."

From the Paper
"On April 24, 1996, the National Basketball Association (NBA) approved the concept and formation of the Women?s National Basketball Association (WNBA), with play to begin in June of 1997. With only 15 months from the announcement of the league?s formation to its first tip-off, the officials who were to manage the new league had much to do: they needed to recruit and hire players, establish franchises in key markets, acquire broadcast partners and sponsors, and create a viable seasonal game schedule (WNBA, 2000). More significantly, perhaps, the founders of the league and its supporters (as well as its players) had to...
