From the Paper
"This study will present a critical analysis of "The Nazi Doctors", by Robert Jay Lifton. The sub-title of the book, "Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide," describes the author's viewpoint and intentions.
The main theme of the book is, indeed, the mind of the Nazi doctor, in general, who committed the most inhumane crimes against helpless victims in the name of "science" or "medicine." From documents available at conferences on the Holocaust, the author "began to realize the extraordinary importance of doctors in general for the Nazi killing project".
The author recognized that he was dealing not only with barely speakable horrors, but also that he was running the risk, with his psychological study, of giving the impression that such ghastly evil could somehow be "understood.""

Abstract
In the 1800s, the medical expert was recognized as an essential provider of support services. Even at the beginning of the 20th century, physicians were believed to act first for the needs of society. This paper shows that, over the past thirty years, the physician?s relationships with patients has been drastically altered. On a personal level, doctors are often blamed for being uncaring, abrupt, and hurried. On a ?presumed or real? medical expertise level, the number of lawsuits has skyrocketed, and physicians can barely afford to pay for their malpractice insurance. The paper shows that, once, people believed that medical decisions were grounded in good science and technically correct. Now, however, physicians? choices are based on experience and value judgments, such as preserving life, relieving suffering, maintaining health, promoting well-being, or even ethical considerations. Never before has technology been so advanced and good for health care, but never before have Americans wanted such a complete revamp of the medical field.
From the Paper
"It does not appear that the future of medical care and physician status will be significantly changed, especially in the short term. The problem is the structure of medical care. Nothing more can be expected from a system where an ever-growing medical establishment, faced with both a healthier and older population has to ?medicalize normal events like menopause, converting risks into diseases, and treating trivial complaints with fancy procedures (Porter, p. 718).? Doctors and consumers are framed inside a fantasy that everyone has something wrong and everyone and everything can be cured. With such high expectations, doctors cannot win. ?Medical consumerism?like all sorts of consumerism but more menacingly?is designed to be unsatisfying.?"

"Why Doctors Should Intervene", 2004.
Review of Terrance Ackerman's article about patient autonomy.

Abstract
This paper summarizes the main points presented in Terrence Ackerman's article on patient autonomy. The paper supports Ackerman's contention that there are times when patient autonomy and a policy of non-interference are not sufficiently broad enough to address the real needs of the patient. Under these conditions, it is argued, it is the duty of the attending physician to intervene and take control of the patient's medical treatment.
From the Paper
"Ackerman defines patient autonomy as a policy which has helped formulate a number of patient rights. The right to refuse treatment is one of the key choices which should lie in the patient?s control. Patient autonomy has given rise to the right to give informed consent to the doctor / medical staff prior to receiving treatment, and the right to receive competition medical care. These rights have been used to form a larger understanding of the policy of non-interference by the doctor and staff once a patient has made his or her decision. Once a patient has expressed his or her desires, the medical staff, in order to honor the patient?s autonomy, is required to take a step back, and allow the patient to have control over their own lives."

Abstract
An overview of medical experiments conducted on prisoners in the camps by Nazi doctors. The writer looks at the main 'doctors' who were responsible for these experiments and includes personal accounts by some people who were lucky enough to survive. The paper concentrates on the types of medical experiments performed and the reasons why these were made possible, due to the way the concentration camps functioned.
From the Paper
"World War II was a period in which millions of atrocities were committed and millions of people were killed. Under the eye of the war, Hitler was able to perpetuate the massive killing of millions of people; the majority of them were Jewish, some others were gypsies, prisoners of war, political prisoners, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses and more. The holocaust, as we called it today, was a massive genocide that changed the course of the world; the atrocity, and sadistic murders committed against innocent people marked forever the history of humankind. Hitler as the head of the Nazi Party was with no doubt the guiltiest person in this crime; however, camps were run by SS guards and SA guards, the perpetrators of the killing that were guilty as well. The concentration camps were indisputably, killing factories whether it was a death camp or not, where massive numbers of death and murders were occurring daily. The concentration camps were death factories due to the exploitation, starvation, the massive killing in gas chamber in some camps, and of course due to Medical Experiments."

Abstract
This paper looks at Nazi Germany's attempts at the economic recovery of the nation. Hitler's priorities concerning the economic recovery of Germany, programs initiated by Nazi Germany to stimulate the economy, and the principles of Hitler's four-year plan are discussed in this paper.
From the Paper
"In the early 1930?s, Germany was plagued by unemployment and stagnant growth despite efforts by the administration to alleviate the country?s economic difficulties. The economic liberalization of the banking system was one of few cautionary steps taken by administrations prior to Hitler to boost Germany?s failing industries. This all changed following the Nazi rise to power; two notable banking acts passed in 1934 and 1936 effectively converted the banking system into Hitler?s personal lender, allowing him to replace commercial borrowing with the various savings institutes that would allow him to re-build the German army. In this period, wages were frozen and the armaments business boomed, while individuals suffered as wages were frozen at their pre-Hitler-era rate. Meanwhile, the government was able to continue to borrow money from Germany?s savings banks to contribute to the building of the military."

"The American Romance with Robert Kennedy", 2006.
This paper reviews and examines author Ronald Steel's questionable portrayal of Robert Kennedy in his book "In Love With The Night: The American Romance With Robert Kennedy."

Abstract
This paper explores author Ronald Steel's flawed method of razing the myths of Robert Kennedy. This paper proves that while Steel's interpretations are at times plausible, at others they are completely contrived and argues that the author's depiction of Kennedy is flat, one-dimensional and sorely lacking in facts. This paper also contains a brief history of Robert Kennedy's political career.
From the Paper
"Steel reports that Robert's stand on the Vietnam war was not so different from Nixon's own position, but Robert admitted that he had been mistaken about Vietnam. There are no known reports that Nixon ever admitting that he was wrong about Vietnam. Steel could have taken a closer look at how Johnson and John Kennedy parted on the issues of Vietnam. He may have found that Johnson did state a greater doubt than had been known about the stability and rectitude of his policy, and while John Kennedy called the war immoral, he did not call an outright end to the war."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the report of research findings in a newsletter presentation of a study in NE Journal of Medicine regarding student/doctor misbehavior. The analysis here shows that the report of findings is a bad example of advocacy journalism and makes a poor presentation of the research and even, ironically its own position as supported in that research. In an effort to address the quality of research reporting, this brief paper considers the structure and content of the report found in Healthfacts, in relation to how well it represented the research findings. A brief summary of Healthfacts' presentation of research findings, statistical representations, and analysis and discussion are offered to determine the accuracy of the report.
From the Paper
"In an article in Healthfacts, a newsletter providing consumer healthcare information, a report summarizing research on the link between doctor misbehavior and medical student misbehavior is offered. The Healthfacts report summarizes findings of the research that was originally published in the New England Journal of Medicine, as well as the comments found in an accompanying editorial in that journal."

The Psychology Behind The Nazi Regime, 2003.
An investigation into the techniques and psychological elements that allowed Adolf Hitler and the Nazis to assume control over Germany in the 1930s.

Abstract
This paper discusses the psychological techniques that Hitler and the Nazis used during the 1930s to assume control in Germany and maintain order until their defeat in 1945. The paper breaks down several sociological and psychological concepts such as obedience, conformity, the power of iconic symbols, national pride, and the authority of a centralized ideal over the individual. The paper demonstrates that the Nazis were adept at creating an environment in which the wounded German psyche, crippled from harsh treatment from the Versailles Treaty and foreign oppression, was able to restore its strength under the symbol of the swastika. While many Germans understood that the Nazis were perhaps corrupt and performing cruel actions against their fellow man, particular psychological elements that the Nazis installed upon their rise to power in the 1930s prohibited any individual from opposing their rule. The last part of the paper discusses how many Germans felt that following the Nazis was a way for them to restore the pride they had lost, and Hitler capitalized on this feeling with great effectiveness. There is also a brief description of the tactics that Goebbels used in using his Propaganda Ministry to keep the German masses completely under the heel of Nazi brutality.
From the Paper
"The inclination of human beings within any society to design and accommodate a government that protects their rights as citizens normally is considered top priority for any culture or ethnic group. Throughout history, societies have been influenced by many sociological factors that dictate what system of government they install, or in some cases, governments that are installed for the public by an authoritarian ruler. Nowhere in the annals of human existence can this forced subjugation of the masses be seen more clearly then in Nazi Germany, beginning in 1933 and ending after the Allied victory at Berlin in 1945. This particular case is peculiar however, for not only were the majority of citizens in Germany at the time willing to comply with Hitler's tyrannical government, but many individuals actively participated in the horror that was the Nazi regime. The question behind the German populace's compliance has been explained from the political and economic perspectives countless times, but the most interesting aspect of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich is from a sociological point of view."

From the Paper
"The FBI watched Hanssen comprehensively and finally made an arrest at the conclusion of a time frame in which, they used some of the most strong surveillance techniques so as to build a case against him. According to the authorities, the FBI operation was made trickier since quite a few number of Hanssen's colleagues were engaged in the investigation. Also, Hanssen had a habit of checking FBI records in an ongoing attempt to see if his activities and communications were being watched by means of computer forensic analysis, substantial covert surveillance, court-authorized searches and other sensitive techniques (7).

The Nazi Medical Experiments, 2002.
A look at the medical experiments performed during the Nazi regime.

Abstract
This paper identifies and examines the problem that modern medicine faces when addressing the issue of medical experiments performed by the Nazis in World War Two. It explains that men of medicine are meant to heal our wounds and cure our disease all in the name of humanity and how this was the total opposite of what was done in Nazi Germany. The paper discusses some of the experiments as well as the "doctors" that performed them.
From the Paper
"That is why it was so troubling to discover the events behind the Nazi cloak throughout the second World War. For those German doctors who we hold such tremendous respect and trust in, traded our humanity for scientific gain. Throughout the concentration camps of Poland, thousands died in medical testing performed by the Third Reich. Their lives were forcefully given up in the name of science. In the quest for wisdom, the idea of ?above all do no harm? somehow got skewed. In the process, distinguished men of medicine exchanged their souls for knowledge. In one of the great ironies, the men who are there to heal brought misery and death to many."

"The case of Bobby Keller and Ed Maupin was especially interesting because of the further implications of their story. Ed and Bobby lived in a small town about 60 miles from the doctor's office in Johnson City. They came to him because they were afraid to be treated or tested in their own town. They had lived together for about 10 years, and both had been married before and fathered children. Both of them tried to deny their homosexuality by marrying, but both of them found they could not live a lie. Having practiced unsafe sex with multiple partners, they both had contracted HIV."

Abstract
This essay examines the success of Nazi propaganda and argues that this shocking reality can be explained by four factors that came together to make a deadly poisonous brew. First, the writer notes that the fact that the Germans were so defeated in every sense in the 1930s laid the foundation. Secondly, the writer points out that there was the modern technology for mass communication which the Nazis used to spread their propaganda. Third, there was the Nazi's unusually skillful use of this technology. Finally, the writer notes that there was the German peoples' philosophy or psyche, which made them vulnerable to the Nazis. The writer concludes that these four factors combined to make it possible for the Nazi party's propaganda machine to win over the Germans.
From the Paper
"The first thing to consider is the state of Germany at the time of the Nazi ascent, in the early 1930s. Germany had been the aggressor in the First World War, and after its defeat the victorious nations had punished it, and also attempted to subdue it, by bringing it to its knees militarily and financially. The harshly punitive terms of the Treaty of Versailles made German economic recovery impossible, and sowed the seeds of anger and resentment that would make the Germans a vulnerable target for Nazi propaganda. The economic woes of the Weimar republic were compounded by the effects of the Great Depression. This began in 1929 and affected many European nations, resulting in the rise of several totalitarian movements. Of these, the Nazi party had the easiest task in winning over converts, due to the vulnerability of the Germans. With their backs up against the wall, unable to make a living, many Germans were easy targets for a charismatic leader who promised to save them from their overwhelming woes."
