Conclusion
From the Paper
"The same features that have historically attracted new residents to Phoenix can be reasonably expected to remain important to the city's growth in the future. In fact, given the rapidly retiring Baby Boom generation, it may well be that Phoenix becomes one of the five largest cities in the United States over the next 10-20 years. This growth rate is assuming, of course, that the water problems looming large on the horizon for the city can be solved today, because tomorrow will be too late. According to Mack and Varady (1995), "When examining water management, particularly in an urban setting, key issues include quantity (water supply), sewerage (water and waste removal), and quality. All three subjects bear directly on human health, and all are closely interrelated" (8)."

From the Paper
"In the past few years, diabetes mellitus has emerged as a common endemic in the Phoenix, Arizona population. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, produces a hormone called insulin to help glucose, or sugar that human bodies use for energy, get into the body's cells. Diabetes is a disease that occurs when the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot use its own insulin as well as it should. Diabetes can cause serious health implications such as heart disease, blindness, kidney failure, and lower-extremity amputations. It is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States."

The Words of Nada, 2001.

Abstract
This paper examines the use of language in these two novels. It also shows how, in both novels, the authors take a look at how human beings try to find a place to find meaning or safety in their lives or at least to momentarily keep from feeling so empty and alone that they try to commit suicide.
From the Paper
"The dialogue in both these stories is short and simple. It comes from the mouths of characters with little hope. The words do not actually state their underlying meaning, but the artistry of the authors gets their point across. What it means to say Phoenix, Arizona is, not much, next to nothing, zip, nada. It?s only a place, something like a clean well lighted bar where one hides from fears of nothing only to find more of the same. "

Climate and Latitude: Honolulu & Phoenix, 2006.
A discussion regarding how latitude directly affects climate, focusing on the examples of Honolulu and Phoenix.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper talks about how latitude is arguably one of the most significant determinants of a region's climate. First, what is latitude? The paper explains that latitude is the angular measurement of a location's distance north or south of the equator. The equator is delineated as 0 degrees latitude. The poles are alternately 90 degrees north or south latitude ("Latitude" par. 1). All other locations fall somewhere in between these two extremes. Thus, when we know a location's latitude we implicitly know that location's distance north or south of the equator. For example, Honolulu, Hawaii is at 21 degrees north latitude. Honolulu, consequently, is much closer to the Earth's equator than Phoenix, Arizona with a latitude of 33 degrees north. This difference accounts for significant climatic variation.

Abstract
This paper discusses the case of Miranda v. Arizona. According to the paper, Miranda was arrested by police and taken to the police station. He was repeatedly asked questions about the crime he was to have committed and repeatedly asked for his attorney. The officers handling the case refused to summon Miranda's attorney, and although Miranda's attorney did come to the police station to represent him during the questioning, the attorney was denied access to Miranda for the duration of his stay at the police station. The paper further reports that when Miranda refused to answer questions he was handcuffed and forced to remain in the interrogation room in excess of four hours while the police continued to demand a confession. Miranda finally succumbed to the pressure and confessed to the crime. At no time before, during or after the interrogation process was Miranda informed of his constitutional rights.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Phoenix Program, known as Phung Hoang in Vietnam, was designed to combine the resources of existing Vietnamese intelligence operations under a single banner of CIA control to "neutralize" the Vietcong and South Vietnamese VC sympathizers and to assist the United States in winning the war by stemming the flood of communists seeping down from the north. The author points out that, in retrospect, Phoenix was a program, which gained a horrible reputation during and after the war for its alleged crimes against humanity; American officially stated that Phoenix was responsible for the death of 20,857 Vietcong members during the war. The paper states that the fundamental flaw of the program was America's inability to recognize the Vietcong as a revolutionary, anti-colonial force whose origins are nearly a hundred years old and whose purpose might have some legitimacy; rather the CIA argued that the VC were crippled victims of Communist terror practices.
From the Paper
"The creation of the CIO marked a sudden increase in the use of political warfare by the Americans in Vietnam. Their tactics were copied almost directly from their Communist partners. Vietcong propaganda teams would descend on a Southern village and call a general meeting for the dissemination of anti-American ideas and propaganda. The visits were repeated, and if the villagers were reluctant to join the Vietcong, then they practiced what is known as selective terror. They would arrest a member of the village for spying and then put the villager on trial before a dummy court. The villager was always convicted, and then brutally murdered in the center of the village."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The United States is undoubtedly one of the best-developed nations in the world. Equal is its strategic might with its military presence in innumerable countries across the world. Amidst all these achievements and high standard of life style that the nation enjoys, it seems ironic that the US also bears the dishonour of being the worst among developed nations when it comes to the number of children affected by poverty. Children are the future of any nation and hence their proper overall development is of utmost importance. Nationwide, Arizona alongside Louisiana and Mississippi continues to suffer from high child poverty rates with disturbing consequences for the youth."

From the Paper
"In Southern Arizona as well as the rest of the United States, drug addiction is a serious and widespread problem among adolescents and the problem is growing. Although the discussion of drug use in juveniles used to be reserved for high school students, as time has progressed, the users of drugs have gotten younger and younger so it is now time to focus on drug addiction, especially addiction of marijuana and cocaine, by southern Arizona middle school students. It seems that the drug problem in middles schools today has been increasing in recent years. According to the National Survey of American Attitudes in Substance Abuse X: Teens and Parents, "Since 2002, the number of students who attend schools where drugs are used, kept or sold has jumped 41 percent for high school students and 47 percent for middle school students"(National, 2005)."

Abstract
This paper examines the educational bill called Arizona Proposition 203, which prohibited education of bilingual students in their native language, even though such education had been proven to be more successful at teaching other subjects than English-language instruction. The paper describes the dramatic and negative impact of this bill on the education of thousands of Arizona students.
From the Paper
"The negative effects of such an immersion program are more than just speculation. Arizona implemented a similar program for almost half of the 20th century. The program, known as 1-C, "required English learners of all ages to be placed in separate classrooms for one year before they were placed in mainstream classrooms, restricted the use of their native language, and used teachers who were not bilingual and were not trained in the education of English learners." (Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, 1999). The results were that the graduation rates for Latinos were outrageously low. (Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, 1999). In fact, Arizona's bilingual language programs developed to correct the problems created by 1-C's English immersion program."

Abstract
This paper discusses the legal case regarding Miranda Rights. It asserts that few events have altered the course of American legal practice more than this infamous Supreme Court case of 1966 that deals with the rights of the accused. Miranda v. Arizona mainly encompasses one's Fifth Amendment right to not incriminate one's self. The paper also discusses how the Miranda decision was a departure from the established law in the area of police interrogation.
From the Paper
"The decision in the Miranda case was a 5-4 split. The five votes in favor of Miranda's argument can be explained relatively simply. The proponents of the decision felt that the right to not give evidence against one's self is a basic right of humans. Thus, those feeling this way voted for Miranda's argument. In contrast, Pre-Miranda view held that questioning a suspect was "indispensable" to law enforcement work.
"The privilege to not be a witness against oneself was not considered applicable to the states at that time. Moreover, the Pre-Miranda view held that a suspect is not being coerced to incriminate himself if there are no legal threats (meaning, that the accused is not threatened with perjury for testifying falsely or contempt for not testifying at all). Thus, the accused was not incriminating himself under this meaning. This accounts for the votes of the opponents of the final decision (Goldman, 1987, pp.704-709)."

Abstract
This paper is a self-assessment describing the writer's personal and learning experiences at the University of Phoenix. The essay is a reflection of the writer's attitude about independent self-directed learning, adult learning, his/her feelings about online learning, knowledge management and time management.
From the Paper
"I am a very creative person who was very active in my participation on the online adult program at the University of Phoenix. I do not consider myself a spectator, especially when it comes to my education. My Creative learning style opens many different areas, because creative people are usually always curious. Some of the downfalls of being a creative learner are constantly being misjudged as innocent or na?ve by other individuals. Adapting to the business ethics, and relating to professionals is sometimes difficult. Creative individuals usually attract a great deal of attention and recognition, which sometimes causes a great deal of conflict with co-workers who behave according to business standards."

Abstract
Product differentiation is defined as ?the modification of a product, usually in minor ways, to make it more attractive to the target market and to differentiate it from competitors' products" (Encyclopedia, 2004, par. 1). This paper discusses the concept of product differentiation, as well as how the University of Phoenix can use this concept to add value to its products or services.
From the Paper
"In addition to offering weekend and night courses, the University of Phoenix could also offer day courses. Although their competitors already offer mostly day courses, by having them, the University of Phoenix could not only capture night students but also day time students as well. In addition, the University of Phoenix could further diversify their courses to be location specific. For example, in areas where agriculture is prominent, the University of Phoenix could offer degrees that are agriculturally geared. A final example of how the University of Phoenix could differentiate their services from their competitors would be to offer degrees via correspondence courses.''

Abstract
The paper deals with a conflict in the Phoenix Metropolitan area in the past few years and one which is still a current watchful issue. However this paper also show how city and governments must address issues like this compared to that in a workplace environment.
From the Paper
"The fact that issues of debate occur in our society is not a new concept but how we handle these issues can often aid our development and our success in handling the impact of growth. Therefore with growth comes debate due to changes in our cities as a result of trying to handle the growth itself. For example in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area there has been an eruption in the amount of population, which exists in the city and its local areas. As a result of this not only has growth become an important factor but so have changes in the landscape as well. This is not uncommon but what specifically has changed in Phoenix is the development of the pedicab industry. A pedicab, is a large tricycle type, man powered machine, which aids in the transport of individuals all over the city of Phoenix."
