Abstract
This paper argues that, solely based on its chemical effects and the potential for violence and crime which it can hold, PCP is the most dangerous drug available on the market for addicts and recreational users, alike. The effects of PCP are discussed, as are a couple of recent criminal cases that have been tied to the use (or misuse) of this illegal and unpredictable substance.
From the Paper
"Some might say that the most dangerous drug is crack cocaine. This could be argued as fact because of the awful effects it has had on America's inner cities and ghettos, how it has created addicts in nearly every metropolitan area and created thriving crime-related business for gangs and organized crime. Some might say that alcohol is the most dangerous drug, albeit a legal substance, as it probably leads to more deaths, from disease or accidents than any illegal drug. The same can be said for the legal drug nicotine, whose negative health effects are now widely known and warned against by medical authorities. Yet, this paper will argue that, solely based on its chemical effects and the potential for violence and crime which it can hold, PCP is the most dangerous drug available on the market for addicts and recreational users, alike."

Abstract
This paper discusses the mystery novel, "A Dangerous Thing" by Sarah Harrison and illustrates the central theme of how surface images are revealed to have a dark side. The story is outlined, including the academic setting and the tragic events which occur. The paper provides a brief history of the author and describes her writing style.
From the Paper
"The mystery novel "A Dangerous Thing" by Sarah Harrison is set in a university. This gives what could be a typical example of mystery genre fiction a kind of verisimilitude rare in such a work. The petty politicking amongst professors, the stultifying life of an academic, and the difficulties of reconciling an intellectual life and an emotional life, are detailed just as carefully as more typical hair-raising examples of ?who done it? plot devices."

The Single Worst, Most Dangerous Idea, 2008.
A review of the article "The Single Worst, Most Dangerous Idea" by Jonathan Kozol.

Abstract
The paper discusses Jonathan Kozol's article, "The Single Worst, Most Dangerous Idea", which is structured as a letter to a first-year teacher whereby Kozol tries to move the subject of the teacher's concern from standardized testing to the voucher discussion. The paper relates that the article discusses the issue of education vouchers in New York and notes that Kozol disagrees strongly with the idea of vouchers, because in his words, they give the incorrect impression that a voucher will enable parents in poor neighborhoods to send their children to the kinds of private schools attended by children of the affluent. The paper further notes that Kozol feels very strongly about this issue, and that something should be done to prevent segregation from prevailing in the public and private school system.
From the Paper
"The selection process will also lead to some segregation, he proposes just because of the nature of the process. Because a lottery process is used to narrow the list of applicants, the application process has become somewhat extensive and esoteric; that is, applicants typically only learn how to fill out an application based on referral from a family with a student currently enrolled in the institution or from a newspaper such as The New York Times, Kozol claims that it is inevitable that many parents from the South Bronx looking to use their vouchers for the education will never be informed of the proper application process, and thus the voucher system is flawed in that way (Kozol 57). The last main argument Kozol makes is that to disprove how voucher advocates say any segregation will cease to exist once the free-market of education takes over and schools compete to vie for the attention for the prospective students' applications. Kozol says that hoping this will happen places too much "blind faith" in the system, such that everyone involved will act responsibly and according to the public's best interest rather than their own (Kozol 58). Overall, Kozol systematically attempts to disprove his opposition's claims one by one, and in the process shows a very strong opinion against the implementation of a voucher system."

?Dangerous Liaisons?, 2002.
A comparison of the work "Dangerous Liaisons" in its book and movie versions.
1,470 words (approx. 5.9 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 48.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of the movie and novel. The work "Dangerous Liaisons" is compared through discussions of the movie and the book by Choderlos de Laclosto, to see where they are alike and in what ways they were different. The paper notes that the feminism aspect of each work is different because of the times that they were created but they each work to display the women as driven by sex and emotion. The movie allows the audience to see that the male character is not an innocent victim, whereas the book makes him out to be chivalrous.
From the Paper
"The underlying anger at females is evidenced but was based in the novel because the movie only differs from the movie in subtle ways. One of the things that is different is the attitude toward the man. The attitudes toward the man are subtle and one has to look carefully to determine what those differences are. Because the novel was written in 1782 the attitudes about men in general was one of admiration and blind acceptance. It is the thing Harlequin Romances are made of today. Because it was written in the 18th century it is unavoidable that the man is almost an innocent bystander, though he is given some evil traits. It is the woman who wants revenge who is portrayed in the worst light. This is not surprising because at the time the book was written a woman who would do the things she did would be viewed as crass, rude, and vengeful."

From the Paper
"The Most Dangerous Game, published in 1924, is a tale of adventure and suspense with a theme that quickly grew into a classic storyline of books and films that followed its publication (The Most Dangerous Game intro). A general analysis would explain that this classic motif is "about the hunter and the hunted" (The Most Dangerous Game By Richard Connell), but this exploration is too surface. Connell writes, "I think evil is a tangible thing--with wave lengths just as light and sound have." It is this tangible, let us call it "landscape," that really presents itself as the theme of the story. However, the landscape of The Most Dangerous Game is not one of evil per se but of fear. This will be explored in the following pages. "

Dumping of Dangerous Goods, 1992.
Examines the moral, legal and safety issues of the American export of dangerous and banned goods.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
""Dumping" is the practice of American firms exporting goods which have been declared dangerous or which have been banned altogether from domestic markets (Shaw, 34). The practice is typically undertaken by companies which have invested a considerable amount of their resources into the product, and who are trying to recover part of that investment. This research is concerned with the moral questions which arise from dumping, and considers whether dumping can be morally justified.
The Moral Implications of Dumping
Dumping can take many forms. Shaw cites the recall of pajamas containing the chemical Tris, which, according to study, caused kidney cancer in children (Shaw, 33, 34). In this instance, a number of small companies who manufactured clothing treat ..."

Dangerous Dogs, 2002.
Explores the myths about "dangerous dogs", focusing on pit bull terriers and aggressive behavior.
2,150 words (approx. 8.6 pages), 7 sources, $ 80.95
»

Abstract
With the increase of incidents involving pit bull attacks on people and other domestic pets, there is controversy regarding the predisposition of these dogs to aggression. Questions have arisen about whether they are genetically "aggressive" dogs or whether they are trained towards aggression by their owners. This essay confirms the increase in pit bull attacks, but in its analysis, indicates that this increase is reflective of an increase in social violence, not dog breeding. Pit bulls are representative of violence and, as such, are the dog-of-choice for violent people.

Abstract
Discusses Choderlos de Laclos' novel of 1782. Its form as an epistolary novel. Main theme of corruption of innonence and virtue, and the power of evil. Elegance of the book's language and finely structured plot. Character of Valmont; his personality traits; his parasitical relationships. His inability to form meaningful relationships.
From the Paper
"Choderlos de Laclos's Les liaisons dangereuses - translated sometimes as Dangerous Acquaintances but more accurately titled in English with the cognate Dangerous Liaisons is an epistolary novel (published in 1782) that takes as its main theme the corruption of innocence and virtue by the libertine Valmont and his mistress, the vicious and immoral Madame de Mertueil simply for their own amusement. The book's great virtues are the elegance of its language and its finely structured plot along with Laclos's ability to examine in such an unflinching way the fascination and power of evil. The battle of the sexes - which is also at the center of the book - is portrayed with deadly seriousness (the only real lack in the book is perhaps a touch of irony and humor). All frivolity and sentimentality have been banished from this book, which depicts a world that is deeply ..."

"Dangerous Society" by Carl Taylor, 1992.
A critical review of study of youth gangs in Detroit.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"This study will provide a review of Carl S. Taylor's Dangerous Society, an investigation into youth gangs in Detroit. Taylor is eminently qualified to conduct such an investigation, coming from a "disadvantaged background in Detroit" (p. xi) himself, and advancing later to win three degrees from Michigan State University. He achieved success in private business as well.
Taylor paints a dark portrait of gang reality in Detroit specifically, and in the United States in general. Despite the fact that the author offers a number of hopeful breakthroughs in the fight against gangs and their destructive consequences for individuals and society as a whole, the overall picture is not a hopeful one. Perhaps Taylor is aware of this when, in the final chapter, after offering a number of community-oriented methods..."

»

Abstract
This essays shows how the media can actually assist terrorists in their cause, and advocates regulations for the way that terrorist acts are portrayed in the media.
From the Paper
"?Terrorism is...the unlawful use or threat of violence against persons or property to further political or social objectives? (Szumski 16). Terrorism has disrupted the lives of millions in the United States and around the world. Fifty percent of all terrorist acts occur in the Middle East, and most of these events are connected to Israel, Iran, and Lebanon (Kronenwetter 38). Media has had a considerable impact on terrorism and its growth, both positively and negatively. Many believe that the media presents terrorism in way that informs and warns people of the danger, yet others believe that the news coverage helps the terrorists in their cause. The manner in which mass media presents terrorism to the public should be regulated in order to reduce the number of terrorist acts."

Dangerous Womanhood, 2005.
A feminist reading of William Shakespeare's play, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," using Margo Hendrick's article, "Obscured by Dreams: Race, Empire" as a reference.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that Margo Hendricks' argument that "A Midsummer Night's Dream" primarily touches on the issues of race, is inadequate if we consider the importance of the images of strong female characters such as Hippolyta and Titania and of the meaning of their ultimate defeat at the hands of patriarchal rulers Thesius and Oberon, respectively. The threat to patriarchal society that a mysterious community of women presents, identifies women as "other" in terms of gender, rather than race. The paper shows that Athens thus becomes a place where patriarchy is preserved, whereas the woods present the middle ground where connection between women is made but not fulfilled. India, however, remains a point of absolute freedom for women to create Amazon-like communities in which to thrive, with a constant need to defend their world from the devastating influence of male conquerors.
From the Paper
"Since the exotic world of Indian-Fairy women's connection is not subject to western European society's regulations, it is fully realized in a form of a changeling child. Contrasting this fantastic world of personal freedom of choice is the world of Athens; a patriarchal society upholding constrains on women's choices from which Helena and Hermia have to escape to form a semblance of a connection they long for. As Lysander states how he "...did meet thee (Hermia) once with Helena/To do observance to a morn of May" (1.1.168-170), the reader is introduced to the meaning that the forest outside of Athens had for the two girls, as Mayday is historically a time when young people unite with the person they love."
