Abstract
The National Coalition on Health Care (NCHC) produced a paper in 2004 where it presented a collection of statistics regarding the fact that many Americans in the United States today are without health insurance. The organization also gathered statistics on the economic as well as medical effects of having many people without health care. This paper examines the findings of this paper and discusses the NCHC's conclusion that the personal and economic impact of having so many people without health care is so significant, that every American should have comprehensive health care and that participation in such programs should be mandatory.
From the Paper
"Treatment patterns for those without health insurance vary when compared to those with health insurance. As noted, those without health insurance tend to have conditions diagnosed and treated later than those with insurance, resulting in increased hospitalizations and unnecessary deaths. In addition, one-third of adults without insurance filled no prescriptions in the year 2003. One-third also skipped at least one recommended medical test. 20% of those uninsured report that they go to emergency rooms for all medical care. Very often they are required to pay for care ahead of time. If they cannot pay, they do not receive treatment."

Frank Capra, 2002.
A discussion of five films directed by Frank Capra as summarized by author Ray Carney in his book "American Vision: The Films of Frank Capra".

Abstract
The paper shows that with only one exception, most of director Frank Capra?s greatest movies take place during the depression, 1929-1941, or shortly after. His films are unique in that they are some of the first to display a faith in American opportunity and values in the context of institutional reform. This paper explores five Capra files in chronological order, "It Happened One Night"(1934), "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" (1936), "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" (1939), "Meet John Doe" (1941)and "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946) as summarized by author Ray Carney in his book "American Vision: The Films of Frank Capra". The paper shows how Carney illustrates these films' inclusion of characters that display the courage to act on their own conviction and to sway out of control groups to act in the interest of common good.
From the Paper
"MR. DEEDS GOES TO TOWN portrays Longfellow Deeds as a personification of small-town virtue. After inheriting $20 million from a distant relative, Deeds moves from Mandrake Falls, Vermont to a mansion in New York where he is victim not only to bureaucratic pressures and social scrutiny, but is actually threatened with being made over into someone else. Under attack by shyster lawyers with motives to steal his fortune, Deeds successfully defends himself in court so that he will be declared sane enough to distribute millions of dollars to destitute farmers. Carney?s interpretation of Capra?s motivation for this work is that given the fundamental state of affairs, the marginality, and alienation of individual in a society that he is unable imaginatively to leave, he must therefore shape some sort of public expressive performance."

Abstract
This paper examines B. Emmott's article in The Economist explaining how Japan is 'alive' and on the upswing. However, the writer mentions that Emmott minimized a number of important factors to do with foreign policy, regional relations, anti-Japanese sentiment, and sharp changes within Japan as it now features homelessness and poverty. Also, the writer notes that matters of Japan's militarization are minimized. The paper refers to various course materials and others to indicate the importance of what Emmott excluded. Further, this paper explains the soundness of The Economist's optimistic summary, in relation to weaknesses in the economy to be overcome.
From the Paper
"In the autumn of 2005, Bill Emmott, the editor of The Economist, asserted that Japan is back on course after a difficult decade following the 1990 crash in stock and property markets, a high debt load, plus different corruption scandals, government deficits and stagnant growth. Emmott continued that those who see Prime Minister Koizumi's reform as promising are over-powered by those who see large problems and little promise of full economic recovery."

Abstract
This study examines the relationship between Jungian psychotherapy, yoga, and alleviation of depression. Specific questions addressed include: 1. What is the overall incidence of depression in the United States today? 2. What are the factors that contribute to the onset of depressive episodes, and what can be done to mitigate or avoid such onset? 3. Are there cultural and gender considerations that serve to exacerbate depressive episodes? 4. What are the mainstream medical approaches to the treatment of depressive episodes?
From the Paper
"Depression is a serious condition which affects millions of people in the United States today. Further, the majority of people in America will experience some form of depression at some point in their lives. People who experience major depressive disorder episodes are more likely to experience future episodes as well. This aspect of depression management is important because the incidence of relapse has been clearly linked to the number of episodes of depression that have been already been experienced (Klerman, Weissmann, Rounsaville, & Chevron, 1999). Clinicians may be overlooking the importance of yoga as both an alternative as well as an adjunct to existing treatment modalities. It is the predicted outcome of this research project that yoga techniques will prove to be an efficacious treatment modality for patients either by themselves in or combination with various psychotherapeutic and pharmacotherapeutic approaches."

Jail and Prison Design, 2002.
Summarizes two articles on the construction and design of security prisons.
716 words (approx. 2.9 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 25.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The major concerns of jail and prison design and construction are the security issues. Two articles on the subject are summarized and discussed in terms of construction costs as well as design concepts "Accommodating the Unsavory Side of Society, Contemporary Jails and Prisons" (Tom Adams, 1998) deals with the problem of developing secure prisons, away from the general population and yet still keeping the costs low. "Deciding on a New Jail Design" (A.R. Beck, 1999) refers to the fact that staff safety and prisoner rights are issues that are pushed to the background when jails are designed.
From the Paper
"Architect Tom Adams writes that challenges of both jail and prison design include the creation of a secure building, safe for staff and detainee or inmate, that is a place to work and rehabilitate rather than become worse off, and to do all of this within the tightest budget possible. Design needs are different for the jail and the prison. The jail is a starting point for those entering the Criminal Justice System and must therefore handle all levels of security. Prisons are the place where everyone is held at least one year. New inmates usually enter at a medium security risk; maximum security accommodations must be supplied for those who acted out in jail. The prison attempts to offer education, training, and work opportunities and counseling (p. 3)."

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the discussions presented in three different articles regarding gastric bypass surgery. The articles summarized are "Medical Management of Obesity" by Ethan Berke, "Hope for the Morbidly Obese" by Michelle Bock-Lopez, and "Mechanisms to Stop the Epidemic of Obesity: Surgical Therapy for Obesity" by Harvey Sugarman. These articles include discussions on the benefits and risks of the surgery and demonstrate both the growing population and success of this surgery. The articles also review information regarding concerns about both the safety and efficacy of the approach. Two of the articles reviewed by this paper are appended.
From the Paper
"Multiple reports that more and more adults and even children have become morbidly obese in the United States have led to searches for effective interventions. One of the interventions beginning to receive widespread use is gastric bypass surgery, which limits the amount of food an individual can consume and thus helps prevent overeating that leads to or supports a state of obesity."

From the Paper
"Chapter Five Summary Key Concepts
Social inequality alludes to unequal distribution of goods and services among a portion of the population at a given time; social stratification refers to the permanent inequality, the permanent lack of equal distribution of goods and services ? a situation passed from generation to generation which has become the norm, or the value. The Davis-Moore functionalist approach is that social stratification is an inevitable result of the human condition; some will always have, some will always be among the ?have-nots.? In all societies, they argue, humans are best motivated to succeed when they are given the challenge of obtaining fame, fortune, and power; and the more vital the task, the smaller the number of people ? because only a few will have the ability to meet the challenge due to generations of stratification. Functionalism is like a ?natural superiority? kind of system ? the strong will stay strong, the weak will struggle."

From the Paper
"This research paper summarizes and compares the salient features of mediation and arbitration and comments on their relative utility in resolving American civil disputes.
Overview and comparison
When a civil dispute arises between different members of society, it may be resolved in a variety of ways. In negotiations, the parties resolve their dispute directly without the intervention of third parties. They may invoke the power of the state by initiating litigation in the civil courts. Since the 1970s, the use of various forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques, principally arbitration and mediation, has greatly expanded. This growth has been fueled by a broadly held consensus that adversarial litigation suffers from severe..."

Abstract
For this assignment, the writer chose to check the price of Michael Jackson?s "Invincible" CD, released in 2001, online at www.BestBuy.com and www.Ebay.com and at a local Wal-Mart store. The writer begins this paper by stating the price found for the product at each point of purchase. Then, it discusses the pricing rationale for each point of purchase location in turn in light of the price set for this product. Finally, the writer concludes this essay by summarizing the above noted information.
From the Paper
"I found the CD for $14.99 at www.BestBuy.com including free shipping. At www.Ebay.com I found the CD (used) at an in progress auction at www.Ebay.com for $0.99 with $2.90 for shipping / handling and insurance. Finally, at my local Wal-Mart the CD was available for $13.99, plus all the stores CD?s were 20% off for a holiday sale. At www.BestBuy.com the company is employing the premium pricing strategy (Kotler, 715). Because they are willing to include shipping for free the item is not any more expensive to the consumer than it would be if they simply went to the local store to purchase it outright or if they ordered it online and then went to a local store to pick it up."

The lights never turn out and the three characters have no hope of ever leaving this particular room, garnished with Second Empire furniture (Sartre 1960), What heightens the torment is their mutual hatred that will stay with them and punish one another without end."

Abstract
Jeremy Bentham, popular English jurist, philosopher and legal and social reformer, was born on February 15, 1748 to a wealthy Tory family. This paper summarizes the life and works of Jeremy Bentham, including his panopticon design for prisons, his theory of utilitarianism, "Writings of the Poor Laws" and his proposal of industry houses.
From the Paper
"There were three obligations that Bentham laid out to the British government to attain Utilitarianism. The first was to provide the poor with enough to survive. This included giving them food, providing clothing and providing security for their livestock and other belongings. The second obligation was to encourage abundance, both wealth and of population. Bentham knew that the larger the population the wealth per capita would drop, but he also knew that you needed a large population for defense. The third and final obligation was equality of means. Bentham wanted taxation to be distributed differently but it must be done carefully or it could possibly decrease the general abundance of the population."
