Abstract
This paper describes the current humanitarian crisis in Darfur. It explains that there are many reasons why the international community should become involved in this terrible situation. One is that we have a moral obligation to do so and another is that there is a need to set an example to the Khartoum government, that genocide is not acceptable. Finally, success in Darfur would gain the United States and other countries that came to Darfur's aid, a political reward of having another democratic nation as an ally. This paper explores all three of these reasons.
From the Paper
"This humanitarian crisis should not turn into a political pawn to be used by the Bush Administration, however. The U.S. has been known for many decades to promote peace in Sudan, so of course the Bush Administration wants the same credit. Peace is not being achieved right now, and the U.S. government needs to acknowledge this. Booker and Colgan write, "The Administration had hoped that such an agreement would allow it to lift sanctions on Sudan. This, in turn, would permit US oil companies to pursue a share of the country's recently developed oil wealth. Such interests, however, cannot be allowed to compromise a larger moral obligation." "

The paper discusses Hubert Sauper's film "Darwin's Nightmare" where we see a nightmarish way of life in Mwanza, on the banks of Lake Victoria in Central Africa. The paper portrays how it is comforting for Westerners to see this kind of terminal disaster as something that happens to other people and that has nothing at all to do with us. However, as the paper shows, the point is that it has everything to do with us.

Toyota's Recall Budgetary Nightmare, 2007.

Abstract
This paper addresses how financial managers manage an organization's need for cash investments. It explores the sources, advantages, disadvantages, and structuring of these investments. In particular, it identifies a need for Toyota to finance a massive recall for multiple models due to premature steering problems. Toyota needs approximately $925 million in order to take care of the full cost of this recall.
From the Paper
"In the wake of 2005's recalls, which outnumbered Toyota's sales in the U.S. by about 200,000 vehicles, the company installed some stricter quality mandates internally. Another company would have moved on, but Toyota reviewed its service plans, made a public apology and hired 8,000 new quality engineers. Still others believe that with a quality gap that is closing rapidly between the "Big Three" made products and Asian automakers, Toyota somehow manages to keep its image as the essence of quality."

Ebola: The Waking Nightmare, 2005.
An overview of the spread and effect of the deadly Ebola virus.
2,033 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 64.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the Ebola virus is quite possibly the most deadly virus known to man, how there is no known cure, and the origin has yet to be discovered. It provides information on what we do know about the killer out of Africa and what we can come to expect.
From the Paper
"The nature of viruses is to replicate and, like any parasite, in order to replicate they require a host. Due to this requirement, the virus's goal is not to kill its host. Ebola is like any other virus in this respect; its ultimate goal is not annihilation but replication. Nonetheless, due to its volatile nature, Ebola ravages any body that it comes in contact with and has evolved to jump quickly in order to avoid its own destruction (Ebola can only survive independently without being frozen or crystallized for ten days). Its protein structure is unlike any other that scientists have ever encountered. Like all viruses, it is made up of RNA strands wrapped in proteins."

"Martin and Malcolm In America: A Dream or a Nightmare" by James H Cone, 1994.

From the Paper
"James H. Cone, in Martin & Malcolm & America: A Dream Or A Nightmare, presents the thesis that Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, for all their perceived personal and political differences, were leaders whose vision of America and its racial problems were growing increasingly close to one another. This is not to say that if the two men had lived longer they would have advocated the same philosophies and policies, but it is to say that there were many areas where their visions were complementary rather than contradictory:
Integrationists and nationalists complemented each other. Both philosophies were needed if America was going to come to terms with the truth of the black experience. Either philosophy alone was a half-truth and thus a distortion of the black reality in America."

The People who will be Saved - "Make known among the nations what He has done" (Isaiah 12:4)
Long term Vision: What Would it be Like if Everything God Desires for the People of Darfur were to Blossom in the Next Twenty-Five Years?
From the Paper
"The Christian Mission should develop many partnerships, to ensure that it can be truly effective in the long term in this area. Suggested partners would be the UN World Food Program, the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Doctors Without Borders, the U.S. Agency for International Development, Amnesty International, the International Crisis Group, and the World Health Organization. The Christian Mission can in fact learn from these partners, as many of them are already well aware of the extreme health and other problems in the area that need to be addressed. In addition, the Christian Mission should be aware of a rapidly growing movement advocating for humanitarian intervention in several countries. People and organizations that are part of this movement can be approached as sources of funding to help the Christian Mission achieve its goals in this region."

From the Paper
"This paper will discuss nightmares as an abnormal behavior, using the guidelines provided in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental Disorders, third edition, revised (DSM-III-R). According to the classifications in DSM-III-R, there are three categories of "parasomnias," or abnormal behaviors during sleep. These are sleepwalking, sleep terror, and dream anxiety disorder (recurring nightmares). In dream anxiety disorder, the patient has frequent nightmares which generally present "threats to survival, security, or self-esteem". These nightmares usually occur toward the end of the sleep cycle, when the patient is engaged in rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep. An important feature of dream anxiety disorder is the fact that the patient usually becomes quickly oriented upon awakening and ... "

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the history of Darfur and the difficult situation faced by the people in Darfur. The writer relates that the country where Darfur is situated is in Sudan and this was ruled by the United Kingdom till 1956. The writer notes that the country has not been free from natural and man made plagues like a bankrupt economy, war-ravaged lands, violent Islamic militancy and existing conflicts due to differences in religion, and culture and natural calamities like droughts and famines. The writer concludes that peace comes to human groups only when there is a certain amount of satisfaction of their expectations and the expectations vary from area to area and groups to groups. This is a part of what one may call culture.

From the Paper
"The cheapest method of getting these items from those countries was to occupy them and "rule" them. The objective of the "rule" was not to look after the well-being of the people ruled, but to ensure the smooth availability of the goods in demand by the West. However, it became essential after the Second World War for United Kingdom to grant freedom to these countries, not because they felt generous, but due to their inability to control those countries. The battle over the Suez Canal in neighboring Egypt bears testimony to this contention. The new rulers of Sudan were not the most enlightened as those people had been systematically butchered by the previous rulers in their interest to rule, but were the people who were most loyal to the previous rulers as this was felt to be a safe option for them to retire.
Ultimately, some of the companies of the ruling country still had "assets" in the ruled country, though they generally consisted of old and outdated plant and machinery, or pieces of land in the country ruled, or stocks of money of the ruled land. They would not permit the ruling elite to withdraw till their pound of flesh was ensured. While all this was going on, the unity of the countries that were left could not be ensured. In some cases, the departing rulers themselves broke up the country like India into India, Pakistan and later, Bangladesh."

Darfur Crisis, 2008.
This paper looks at the causes and complications of the Darfur crisis.
1,213 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article the writer discusses that the Darfur crisis as it exists today is the result of a convergence of domestic political and cultural causes, within the context of regional political and environmental circumstances, all of which are being looked upon with good-intentioned neglect by the international community. This essay explores the Darfur crisis with a focus on discerning the root causes of the crisis from its more immediate direct causes. The thesis is argued, while its direct causes seem to lie in a botched counter-insurgency program launched by the Sudanese government which coincided with drought and regional environmental issues, its root causes lie in the structuring of the Sudanese state in the wake of colonialism. As is seen, the inability of the Sudanese government to address the complex needs of diverse groups within its state lies ultimately at the root of the Darfur crisis, with implications both for the Sudan and other post-colonial states.
From the Paper
"Prunier's observation is valuable in two respects: first, he cites the fact that the Sudan has been internationally recognized for another long-running civil conflict in its recent history, and secondly that the causes of the Darfur crisis are not immediately clear or easy to understand. The reference to the Sudan's history of internal civil conflict is particularly significant, as it suggests that there are systemic problems in the Sudanese state that extend beyond the confines of the Darfur crisis. It may be argued that these problems are the "root" causes of the Darfur crisis.
"The Sudan as it exists today is largely a legacy of the colonial era, when the British empire governed vast swathes of Africa. However, a defining characteristic of the Sudan from its colonial period has been the combination of enormous territory and diverse ethnic populations, with an overcentralized state."

Nightmares, 2003.
A discussion of the phenomenon of nightmares in small children.

Abstract
Nightmares are one of the most common sleep disturbances in young children. This paper compares the two forms: the more familiar nightmare, in which the child wakes up and remembers what the dream consisted of; and night terrors, in which the child often wakes up terrified and screaming, but does not remember the dream that triggered the terror.
From the Paper
"In a nightmare, the child is awakened by the bad dream and can tell the parent what happened in the dream. The themes typically center on the child being in danger or helpless. Often in the dream, the child has to escape from a wild animal or monster. Some experts also think that scary television programs or movies may contribute as well as separation anxiety."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Last is the issue of resources. With the discovery of oil in Sudan, many of the world's big players, like France and China, have then taken a keen interest of the issues confronting the country. The confirmation of substantial oil reserves in the contested south adds to the country's geopolitical importance. This is evidenced in the tangled US history in Sudan has veered back and forth between close support and active antagonism for decades, first according to the vagaries of regional Cold War alliances and later the exigencies of domestic American politics. Today, the dominant concerns are the "war on terrorism" - and oil. Also, the factor that China is one of the biggest investors in Khartoum and the fact that China gets its supply of oil to fuel its skyrocketing development from Sudan says a lot in its passive response to the atrocities in Darfur.
"This was seen in the role that it played in the delay in the sending of UN peacekeeping forces in Darfur. The immediate cause of the delay has been attributed is the refusal by Sudan's president, Omar Hassan al-Bashir, to agree to a UN force. He is able to get away with this largely because China, a permanent member of the Security Council, continues to protect him with the threat of using its veto. One reason Beijing stands behind Bashir is oil. China is trying to diversify its oil sources beyond the crisis- prone Middle East, and Africa is one obvious alternative. Already, 7 percent of China's imported oil comes from Sudan . Based on this, it is then quite clear that resources do matter in the politics of humanitarian intervention - an issue that is not given much importance in the neo-liberal perspective."

Darfur Refugees, 2007.
This paper discusses the issue of the Darfur refugees as a world problem.

Abstract
In this article, the writer reports that many refugees are leaving Darfur and moving to other places to attempt to escape the fighting. Further, the writer notes that this is a serious world problem and states that it is important here to understand not only the refugees, but the conflict that has made them flee, as well. The writer examines the history and statistics of the conflict in Darfur. The writer concludes that the only thing that can realistically take place is to stop the conflict in the Darfur region so that these individuals can return to their homes without fear of being raped, robbed, or killed, and without fear that these same atrocities may be committed on their children.
From the Paper
"As for the refugees that are leaving Darfur, the largest majority of them are Africans that are non-Arab, and they are running from the attacks of the Janjaweed Arabs. However, there have also been perpetrators of these attacks that are non-Arab as well as victims that are proclaimed Arabs. The individuals on both sides of the fighting are generally black, and the distinction that is seen in the news media between those that are Arab and those that are non-Arab in disputed by a great many people, as well as the Sudanese government. It is believed by these disputants that the Western world and the Western media do not really understand the difference, and therefore get the distinctions wrong quite often. The labeling of Arabs and non-Arabs has also been criticized due to the fact that it makes the conflict appear to be purely racial in motivation, and experts say that there are other important reasons for the conflict, such as the competition that is seen between the nomadic cattle-herders and the farmers, because they are both fighting for resources that are very scarce in the region."
