"The President as Commander.in.Chief
As long as there are war criminals running loose in Bosnia, whether they be Serbian, Croat, or Muslim, the United States can ill afford to withdraw troops. The Bosnian mission of US troops has successfully kept the peace in a land where these war criminals are still bent on destruction of their rivals. If the United States does pull out, it will appear that it abandoned European allies who share peacekeeping duties and will encourage these rival factions to renew the brutal civil war which killed hundreds of thousands of Bosnians.
If the United States and its allies are serious about a permanent peace in Bosnia as the right situation for withdrawing troops, there must be more pressure and actions to enforce the full compliance by all sides of the Dayton Accord. This includes ..."

Abstract
The president of the United States is known as the commander in chief, the chief of state, the chief administrator and the chief legislator. This paper explores how the presidents of the past and the present have carried out those duties, and what those duties mean. It also examines how the "chief" roles of the president have changed throughout history and how the presidency is much different now than it was in the past.
From the Paper
"The President of the United States is a Chief. He is the head of several governmental areas and is seen as the responsible party for these areas. He is the Chief of State, Chief Administrator, Chief Legislator and Chief of the United States armed forces. His leadership in these areas has, over time, changed. The Presidency has evolved to a point where the President of the United States has more power than any other person or office in the United States. This power has at times been bestowed upon the office of the President and it has, at times been usurped by the President in office. Each time that the Presidency has gained power in the past it has not given up its gains. In law, there is a principle known as stare decisis. It means that every decision that is made by a judge is predicated on the decisions of judges past. It is rare that a judge breaks from the legal precedent. The same goes for the Presidency. Over the past 220 years the office has gained power and the "Chief" has become more and more involved in all aspects of governance."

Abstract
The paper relates that the US President is the head of state of the United States, the chief executive of the federal government, as well as the commander in chief of the US armed forces. As such, the paper reveals that he is probably the most powerful person in the world. He wields considerable powers derived from the US constitution, the super-power status of the US and the influence and prestige of his office. The paper details the many roles the President plays in leading the country, such as his legislative and judicial role. The paper explains that the office of the US Presidency has evolved over the years and is no more the same as envisaged by the country's founding fathers.
From the Paper
"From the time of the first US President (George Washington) to the end of the 19th century, the presidency had a limited role restricted mainly to the execution of policies made by the Congress. As the US became a world and industrial power in the 20th century, a stronger presidency was required for managing the country's foreign policy and its growing domestic economy. The Great Depression of the 1930s and the Second World War saw a further expansion of the President's role--a role that persists to date. Apart from the force of circumstances--industrialization, war, depression, terrorist attacks etc., certain strong presidents, e.g., Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin Roosevelt helped to expand the powers of the office by the force of their personalities and decisive actions at appropriate times."

"Master and Commander", 2006.
A review of O'Brian's novel, "Master and Commander".
1,056 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores how O'Brian's novel exposes his successful writing technique. It discusses, through example from the text, the novel's historically successful representation of naval adventures, its accurate and authentic language and its realistic characters. This paper explains how O'Brian constructs "Master and Commander" into a successful novel using these methods.
From the Paper
"Master and Commander is also a successful novel because O'Brian takes the time to create realistic characters. At the beginning of the novel, we are presented with an image of Aubrey that prepares him (and us) for his adventure. We read that he knows men that are younger than him that were "lieutenants in command of brigs or cutters, or who had been promoted to master and commander" (9-10). His initial disappointment over the Sophie is quickly replaced by the connection he makes with Maturin and the others. Aubrey is in every sense what we would expect when we envision a British seaman. O'Brian also does an excellent job of describing Aubrey as he faces court-martial near the end of the novel."

An analysis of Patrick O'Brian's novel "Master and Commander".

Abstract
Patrick O'Brian's novel "Master and Commander", brings life at sea to life by focusing on strong characterization and themes that accentuate these characters. The paper explains how O'Brian introduces us to Jack and Stephen, two main characters that are strong, complimentary, and different enough from one another to provide a different take on life at sea. The paper shows that, in addition, O'Brian employs the theme of man versus man and man versus nature to build the plot and enhance the action of the novel. These elements operate together to create a novel that provides us a realistic sense of what life at sea was like during the nineteenth century.
From the Paper
"Another theme O'Brian uses is man versus nature. Because they are at sea, they are at the mercy of the elements. The crew endures the elements of the weather as they sail. For example, in one scene, the ship encounters a storm with intense rainfall as the "seas mounted higher and higher: they were not the height of the great Atlantic rollers, but they were steeper, and in a way more wicked; their heads tore off streaming in front of them so as to race through the Sophie's tops" (153). Here we see how the men at sea had to be courageous not only with other men but they also had to be strong when it came to withstanding the harsh elements of nature, over which they had no control."

Abstract
This paper uses the criteria established by Robert Dallek in his book "Hail to the Chief. The Making and Unmaking of American Presidents" to determine which presidents of the United States qualify as the top five. Citing Dallek's conclusion that the five characteristics found in the most effective presidents are vision, pragmatism, consensus, charisma and credibility, the paper assesses which presidents possess these qualities and concludes that Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush are the top five U.S. presidents ever.
From the Paper
"Dallek points out that the White House today is as removed from Washington's day as space travel is from the horse and buggy, and that the global responsibilities a president faces today actually dwarf those his counterpart encountered in the 1790's, as well as the president's impact on the economic and social life of the country. Because of nuclear weapons, electronic communications, and national and international responsibilities, presidents today are forced to think and act differently than earlier predecessors, however, the elements of compelling leadership have remained unchanged through the years."

" LINCOLN AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF IN THE EAST
This research paper discusses and assesses the impact of President Abraham Lincoln's military decisions in the East on the outcome of the Civil War. After a shaky beginning, Lincoln became an effective commander in chief and politico-military leader of the Union with respect to its campaigns in the East. Lincoln was handicapped during the first three years of the war in the East by a serious command problem which was not finally solved until 1864 with the appointment of Ulysses Grant to command all Union forces, including those in the East, but nevertheless his military decisions gradually moved into alignment with a more sensible military strategy and made a major contribution to the ultimate defeat of the Confederacy.

Abstract
This paper, using as a guide Bob Woodward?s book "The Commander?s", analyzes the actions of the President, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and several federal agencies responsible for managing National Security during the escalation towards hostilities in Panama and Southwest Asia. It includes an analysis of how effective the decision-makers were during the planning, execution and oversight periods of these operations and discusses whether they communicated visions, involved all available experts for consultation and whether they offered several options to aid in their critical decision making.
From the Paper
"Before any public statement or initiative by the President, General Colin Powell asked General Norman Schwarzkopf, the Commander of Central Command, to draft a two-tiered plan for possible U.S. responses to any Iraqi move against Kuwait. The first tier was what U.S Forces could do to immediately retaliate against Iraq; the second was what the United States might do defensively to stop any further Iraqi movement. Simultaneously, coordination at the JCS-CINC level had already began while CENTCOM initiated the formal Crisis Planning process. As the diplomatic chess game ensued, the practical aspects of what was needed began to surface presenting the leadership with several challenges and decisions to make. For example, General Schwarzkopf said it would take 17 weeks to get the full deterrence piece of Plan 90-1002- totaling some 200,000 to 250,000 Army, Navy, Airforce, and Marines-into the region."

From the Paper
"Pastors have to work on Sundays, therefore many of them choose to honor the Sabbath with regards to stopping work on another day of the week. Laymen can follow that pattern and choose a different day of the week in which to honor the Sabbath by stopping all work.
The fifth commandment tells the world to honor our parents. This commandment applies to today as well. We can all do things that honor our parents. The world is more open today than it was in the past about abuse, alcohol problems and separated families. Even given these problems however, there are still ways to honor parents by not attacking them and that is in keeping with the commandments.
Do not murder is self explanatory. It is obviously something that fits with today's society for the most part, however there are problems when it comes to capital punishment. Do we have the right to murder if it is a convicted murderer? No. The commandment tells us not to murder therefore it is not up to us to carry out the death penalty. People today point to the bible verses about an eye for an eye, but there is nothing that condones the taking of one of God's children's lives."

Roles of Police Chief, 2007.
This paper explores the many roles of the Chief of Police.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that in addition to there being differences between the ways in which the position of Chief of Police is handled from one jurisdiction to the next, and between cities and county areas, there are also consistent differences between the functional role of the Chief of Police in a "big city" versus a "small town." The writer points out for example, that in a small town, the Chief of Police may be the only real police officer. In this case, a paid Chief of Police would have a staff of volunteers to help with paperwork and other duties. The writer notes that in contrast, in a big city, the Chief of Police is the boss of many thousands of sworn police officers that serve on the force, as well as thousands of other paid civil employees that work for the police department. In this paper the writer looks at the various roles of the Chief of Police.
From the Paper
"According to Javert Wilkinson, a police officer that has served in both a Northern city and a Southern small town, there are very notable differences between the job roles of a Chief of Police in each environment. In a small town, the Chief of Police is like the captain of a larger police department, and he directly supervises the officers that are actually going out on the street. In a small town, the Chief of Police is also likely in charge of administrative decisions, such as what kinds of cars and guns to buy and in what quantity. The small town Chief of Police often also has to secure funding from the local government to run the police force. He would also probably have field supervisors report to him, but he would not spend much time out of the office or on the street, unless it was a very small town in which there very few or no other police officers. However, in a big city, the Chief of Police is more a politician than a street cop."

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of the Ten Commandments that the Jewish people received from God. It examines each commandment individually, discussing its importance. The author also discusses why the Jews, and no other people, were specifically chosen to receive these commandments.
From the Paper
"The Decalogue is designed for only the Jews. These ten laws that they have to abide by are written to ultimately free the Jews from sin. God targeted the Jews because this would be able to prove his power; by taking a nation that had nothing, and turning them into something great. The whole world would know Gods glory. The Decalogue are divine laws, they come straight from God himself and let his will be known. The Decalogue was designed to control external actions, but cannot control the inner thoughts and desires of the Israelites."

Abstract
The position of the traditional R & D director has evolved into that of the chief technology officer, which is much more broad and encompassing. The paper shows that the primary role of the chief technology officer is to deliver the total value of technology for the corporation, to ensure that the firm has the technologies that it needs to achieve its goals and to facilitate technology transfer across business units. The paper looks at various issues on the subject, including the evolution of this role in the business world, areas of responsibility for the C.T.O. and the future of this field.
From the Paper
"I believe that the chief technology officer is an important link between government laboratories and U.S. corporations, because one of the primary functions of the CTO is to assess the need to form partnerships with government institutions in order to exploit the total technology capacity of the organization. A government role is also vital in promoting technologies that are critical to economic growth, the creation of good jobs, and meeting the common needs of the nation, but that cannot attract adequate private investment?especially in the cases of high technical risks and long payback horizons.
Overall, it is clear that the CTO has a vital role in building a strong U.S. base of fundamental science, and developing a business environment that encourages innovation and investment."

Abstract
A look at the leadership skills required for naval command. The author discusses the characteristics necessary for successful naval command: resilience, toughness, ruthlessness, and examines how these apply in case study examples.
From the Paper
'Leadership and command are dependent on a complex mixture of several factors that make any attempt to quantify the qualities as a concept elusive. In any situation, which is of itself a huge variable, the opportunities presented and the individual personality and capacity must be analyzed in conjunction with, and often juxtaposed against, the context. Thus in many respects leadership and command can only really be studied on a case by case basis. In terms of naval command the problem is compounded by the medium itself, the sea. When the entropy of war is the background to which the particular scenario is set the problem of quantification would seem to be even more difficult.'
