Abstract
Anne Finger's memoir "Past Due: A Story of Disability, Pregnancy and Birth" represents a classic example of the feminist principle that "the personal is political". Her account of her life as a feminist, disability activist and campaigner for reproductive freedom and the story of her giving birth to a potentially disabled child, may be read on a superficial level as an exercise in autobiography. However, as this review will argue, it would be more accurate to read Finger's memoir as part of a feminist project to represent the convergence of the personal and political in contemporary feminism and thereby resist those forces that would label, categorize and dehumanize women, the disabled and the marginalized.

Abstract
This essay will argue that Finger's work is an attempt to reclaim the political and enter it into its real life, that of actual people who for good and bad struggle with their lives and the decisions that they make. In this context, Finger's work uses the literary in a striking and convincing manner, for she shows the reader a world where ever issue is interwoven in experience and struggle.

Abstract
This paper discusses how "Due Preparations for the Plague" by Janette Turner Hospital explores the life a young women, Samantha, who was orphaned at a young age by the hijacking and subsequent destruction of Air France Flight 64. In particular, the paper examines how Samantha was raised by her loving Aunt Lou but still was never able to let go of her parents' death, as she became obsessed with the possibility that American intelligence was involved in the planning of the attack. The paper then explains that once Samantha discovered some of the classified details behind the hijacking and was able to hear the last words of her parents and eight other hostages, she was able let go of the past and began to move forward into the present. The paper further explains that Samantha's ability to let go of her parents' death comes from an understanding that due preparation for death is living a life free from regret.
From the Paper
"Samantha does not immediately rid her self completely of her past but after a few months away, she is able to let go. When Samantha returns to New York after being gone on a fellowship in France, she is overwhelmed and runs into a cemetery where Lou comforts her. After talking about their pasts, Samantha "could feel a wave rising up within her, not happiness, she could not call it that, but something rich and mellow that she could call a state of being at peace."(401) This state of being at peace is Samantha no longer being haunted by the ghosts of her past. She has finally both consciously and unconsciously moved away from her parents' deaths and forward towards her own life. Samantha does not arrive at this feeling by chance but through the understanding that "the dead are always with us; they are close; but we must cling to the living."(401) "

Abstract
This paper discusses the autobiography of Anne Finger "Past Due: A Story of Disability, Pregnancy and Birth" which articulates an excellent example of a writer who is a disabled activist. The paper explains that the disabled woman offers forceful insight within the disability system in terms of a situated theory. The paper looks at how Ms. Finger shows extreme sarcasm in her words when explaining how she acquired polio. The paper also explores Ms. Finger's various attitudes towards abortion. In conclusion, the paper shows that Ms. Finger poses reproductive rights entangled by a myriad of social construct and these social constructs are categorized through personal experiences, feminism, selective abortion rights and aggressive politics. The paper also notes, however, that there is an uncertainty of obligation that is questioned by Ms. Finger throughout her memoir that lacks stability.
From the Paper
"There are several examples of opinions, which make Ms. Finger furious and/or hostile in regards to abortion, parental choice, disability, and of course politics. For example, Ms. Finger takes a reactive stand against anti-abortion. Yet, within her text, confusion seems to be set in place in terms of "the right to privacy" and "parental choice" (Finger, 25). If a woman chooses to abort a child for whatever reason, it would be considered a parental choice. In a similar sense, if a disabled woman chooses to abort a child for whatever reason knowing that the child would be disabled; isn't this considered a parental choice as well. Why would the disabled woman choice be different from the nondisabled woman?"

Technology: Impact Upon Education, Business and Social Communication, 2000.
A study on how education, business and social communication have been enhanced over the past decade due to the vastness of technological advancement.
2,050 words (approx. 8.2 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 64.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper shows that there can be no argument that new technology has taught society to appreciate and rethink old skills, technologies and values. It shows that as technology continues to improve educational options, business application and social communication, there will be less of a need to consider old skills or technologies, as they will no longer prove effective. The paper shows how technology has impacted business, education and social communication over the past decade.
From the Paper
"The ways in which this observation is true can fill volumes; however, one only needs to be familiar with but a few examples in order to understand the role technology has played in recent history. Inasmuch as technological diversification has allowed humanity to pursue goals and dreams once thought to be an impossibility, there seem to be fewer and fewer limits placed upon what mankind can ultimately accomplish. This may have its obvious advantageous aspects, yet there also exists a paradox of modern communication, in that society is becoming more isolated as it becomes more technologically advanced."

Due Diligence, 2005.
An overview of the process of due diligence with a focus on legal due diligence.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 2 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the due diligence process in detail with an emphasis on the legal due diligence process. An ethics component is included in the legal due diligence process as the presence of ethical issues may make further consideration a moot point. The legal due diligence process is examined in reference to a specific company: Visionscape. It is determined that Visionscape would be a strong investment based on the character of a projected legal due diligence effort.
From the Paper
"Most research does not address the ethical component of the legal due diligence process until the very last and usually as an after-thought. However, determining the ethical nature of a potential investment is probably the single-most important aspect of the legal due diligence process: "Eventually, many of a company's ethics abuses would come to light. Faulty or unsafe products would be discovered, and lawsuits could arise"(Harrison, 1999, para.5). If it's found that an investment target is unethical, there are likely issues in the other components of the due diligence process and the company would not be a good investment target. "

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses due process of the law, which is a term that has been used for many years. The writer notes that the general principle of this term is that everyone is entitled to a day in court when he or she has been accused or charged with a violation of the law. In addition, the due process of law mandates the belief that each person's case should be fully explored and heard before any judgment is rendered with regard to that case. The writer explains that the due process of law protects people from being deprived of their life, liberty or property as well as any rights that have been given to them by legislation or statute. The writer concludes that with illegal immigration being a hot topic throughout the nation it is important to understand how due process and equal protection of the law impacts those immigrants.
Outline:
Equal Protection of the Law
Conclusion
From the Paper
"This is interesting because for many years after the development of the constitution, African Americans were not treated equally. When they finally one the right to vote, their vote only counted as two thirds of a whole vote and they were allowed to be forced to sit at the back of the buses, and sent to Black only schools and other places that were designed specifically for that race. When it came to the law they were also discriminated against as they were treated differently in courts and jails and not afforded the same right to jury trials as their white counterparts were."
"Eventually this was challenged enough times that law makers made it clear all people meant all people, not just whites, or men or a certain economic group. It meant each and every person is to be afforded the same protection by the same laws."

"HISTORICAL EVOLUTION OF THE DUE PROCESS CLAUSE
This research paper outlines, summarizes and analyzes the historical evolution of the Due Process Clause(s) of the U.S. Constitution. The interpretations given by the American Supreme Court to these clauses in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments have served significantly to adapt the Constitution to changing conditions. During the first 100 years of the Republic, the Due Process Clause was interpreted narrowly as a procedural safeguard and contributed little to the resolution of the principal jurisprudential problem, the adjustment of the relations between the national and state governments. During the period 1890 to 1937, substantive due process largely in the service of private property and commercial interests and later as a tool for delineating the contours of the welfare state helped define the ..."

Abstract
This paper explains that venture capitalists make appropriate risk assessments, called due diligence, to find out if they are really and truly buying the company, an interest, or a product as presented in that infamous ?fine print?. The author points out that the checklist delineates a request for various kinds of documents from the company or the producers in question with whom the venture capitalists are dealing. The paper relates that the due diligence checklist includes a list of banks or other lenders with whom the future company might have a financial relationship, including credit agreements, debt instruments, and other agreements evidencing outstanding loans to which the company is a party or was a party within the past two years.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"This is a financially chancy and dicey time for technological investment. According to some of their independent analysts, the microchip to be developed by the aforementioned former members of ChipeX Company is a sure thing. This alone, however, should raise red flags. Even though the technical viability of the product has been sung in its praises by many technologically forward independent experts, in business, particularly the business of technology, experience and the dot.com bomb has taught us all that there is no sure thing."

Due Process, 2001.
This paper emphasizes the importance of the 14th and 5th amendment on "due process".
3,825 words (approx. 15.3 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 104.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper shows how the rights to due process is an inalienable human right. Various landmark cases are presented to reinforce the statement that "due process" is guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and the United States Constitution. Includes cases that date back to Barron vs. Baltimore of 1833 all the way to present day court cases.
From the Paper
"Due process is a major fabric in the quilt of the United States Constitution. It is an important right, which without it the United States would be similar to other countries that lack the Constitutional protections that we offer. The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is a major fabric that is of utmost importance because it places limitations on the government from taking our life, liberty and property without a trial or investigation. Protection of liberty is what the 14th and the 5th amendment is trying to protect based on the natural law traditions. Natural law is the tradition that humans have inalienable rights that cannot be taken by the government or any other entity, public or private. The historical traditions that go back to the days of the Hamurrabi codes have shown that there must be some type of timely manner and notification before the government can take any of your inalienable rights."

Crime Control Vs. Due Process, 2008.
The paper discusses how the crime control and due process points of view contribute valuable elements to systems of justice.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that a strict crime control focus in penal regulation could virtually ensure the complete elimination of crime in society as well as certain punishment for all violators. The paper explains further that to balance this, the due process perspective prohibits deprivation of the individual's property or liberty without established procedures or processes governing the proper exercise of police authority.
Outline:
Introduction
Balancing the Interests of Crime Control and Due Process
From the Paper
"In principle, crime control and due process are two opposite philosophical perspectives about crime prevention and punishment in society. However, in practical application, each point of view contributes valuable elements to any system of justice. Without fundamental aspects of crime control, effective policing and prosecution of penal violations would be all but impossible; but without due process protections, everyone in society - both criminals and non-criminals - would be subjected to intrusive state actions with little regard for personal privacy or even the sanctity of one's home.'

The Due Process Law, 2007.
An examination of the due process law that requires a thorough evidentiary hearing before a person can be deprived of benefits.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that the due process law, as stated in the 14th and 5th Amendments, requires a thorough evidentiary hearing before a person can be deprived of benefits. The paper describes the due process law as ensuring that when the government, whether federal or state, decides to terminates a person's entitlements, he/she will be given an opportunity to use his/her legal rights in the most suitable manner to defend his/her position. The paper examines evidentiary hearing and what the court's opinion has been on the deprivation of benefits. The paper also looks at the landmark Goldberg vs. Kelly case.
From the Paper
"While the Fourteenth Amendment expressively mentions states, the Fifth Amendment deals with due process law in federal context. Now that we know that a person cannot be deprived of benefits without due process of law, it is also important to mention here that an essential component of due process is evidentiary hearing. This was decided by the Court in the landmark case Goldberg v Kelly (1970). This allowed evidentiary hearing to become an important part of the rights granted to a citizen under due process law. The two important questions that are answered in evidentiary hearing are concerned with jurisdiction and presence of probable cause. Jurisdiction question can be settled easily while probable cause requires further explanation."

Abstract
This paper discusses the War on Terror and the number of issues that have been raised vis-a-vis how Americans should treat suspected terrorists. The paper provides an explanation of three different approaches to providing due process to these terrorists and suggests that a compromise approach should be followed. The paper describes each approach and describes the suggested compromise.
From the Paper
"As suggested above, a careful regard for the procedural rights of suspected terrorists - their "Due Process" rights - is vital inasmuch as it sends a message to critics both within and without America that the world's great superpower is committed to doing the "right thing" and not merely the expedient thing. Needless to say, projecting this image goes a long way towards solidifying international support for U.S. military operations abroad and it also goes a very long way towards ensuring that other nations will be more cooperative in "rooting out" terrorist elements within their own states - both developments which will necessarily bolster U.S. security. But more than that, America is in a position where it can protect the procedural rights of terrorist operatives without bequeathing to those individuals the sorts of privileges and prerogatives normally available to an American citizen accused of a criminal offense in the United States."
