"MANDATORY SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION
Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to discuss mandatory sex offender registration, taking an ethical stand on this criminology/criminal justice issue. It must be noted here that the ethical position that is taken is formulated within the most current legal context of the issue, namely the context of Megan's law, stipulating that there not only be mandatory registration but also community notification. This law has wedded the two issues and to discuss one without the other would be to provide an incomplete assessment of the registration issue.
The discussion and formulation of an ethical stance on the selected issue is presented in five discrete categories. These are: (a) a historical overview of the issue; (b) a description of.."

The Presumption of Registrability, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that one of the main changes introduced by the new Trade Marks Act is the "presumption of registrability" prescribed by s 33, which prescribes that an application for registration must be accepted unless the Registrar is satisfied that there are grounds for rejecting it. Thereby, the onus is no longer on the applicant to establish registrability but instead is shifted to the Registrar. The author reviews various cases and discovers an inconsistency in the court's interpretation and application of s 33 insofar as examination practice is concerned. The paper concludes that case law appears to be slightly more inclined to an interpretation that a trade mark will be registered unless there is some specific objection to it.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In 'Kenman Kandy v Registrar of Trade Marks' (2002) 56 IPR 30, the millennium bug shape was rejected for being not inherently adapted to distinguish. On appeal to the federal court, however, it was explicitly stated that the impact upon the access of other traders to the use of insect like shapes as trade marks is speculative. That is, the likelihood that other traders in the course of their businesses, and without improper motives, would desire to use a shape such as the millennium bug, and in other words, the bug's inherent adaptability to distinguish, is speculative."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The initial requirement for a business startup in Virginia is to decide what type of business it will be prior to applying for licensure. There are several business structures that can be chosen for a new enterprise: 1) an incorporated entity, 2) limited liability partnerships, 3) sole proprietorships, 4) general partnership, and 5) limited liability companies (Guide, 2006). For the purposes of a credit counseling agency the structure that might be best suited for the enterprise is the fully incorporated business entity."

Gun Control, 1993.
An argument for the legislation requiring handgun registration and banning the sale of automatic weapons, against NRA opposition.

Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"Legislation requiring the registration of handguns and some control over the distribution and sale of handguns should be passed. Legislation banning the sale of any automatic weapon, including assault rifles, should be adopted. Such action should be taken at the federal level because guns, like the issue, cross state lines and make a mockery of the patchwork, state-by-state approach that presently exists. An examination of the issue shows that the arguments of the gun lobby are specious and that instituting controls on handguns in every state would reduce the number of guns in circulation and thus reduce the number of crimes committed with handguns.
BACKGROUND
In 1990 it was reported by the U.S. Department of Justice that some 680,000 Americans each year are confronted by..."

Abstract
This paper explains that novice nurses cannot come forth with any type of intuitive judgment without first having gained experience but the novice can bring to the clinical situation the years of experience gained in multiple clinical and life situations. The author proposes using a phenomenological interpretive methodology, which is based on the principle of hermeneutics and is of an interpretive qualitative nature. The paper discusses the procedure for using this focus group methodology with paired interviews of novice and expert nurses.

From the Paper
"Through use of this analysis, the competencies required as the individual moves from the stages of novice to expert are easily identified. Benner discovered through listening to expert nurse narratives that the key to their development of expertness was based in their ability to 'experience' nursing, and to integrate this experience into both existing and new knowledge. From this integration of experience and knowledge, new paradigms are developed and available in future 'like' situations."

Abstract
The paper discusses how a democracy should weigh each vote equally, make the electoral process accessible to everyone, ensure that the legislative assembly accurately represents the will of the people, have cost-effective elections with no electoral fraud and allow people to feel secure when they cast their ballot. The paper then examines Canada, Mexico and the United States and considers to what extent each country has elections that provide a safe, ethical, well-administered and equitable electoral system. The paper looks at the remedies which can be applied in each nation to improve the current situation for future generations. The paper shows how Mexico in particular must do a better job of entrenching the rule of law as a staple of its political culture.
From the Paper
"At this juncture, it is appropriate to offer a brief contextual overview of the three countries' political systems inasmuch as, to the extent they are all rather similar and democratic, there is no reason why they cannot each develop an equitable and fair system for Election Day proceedings; in other words, Mexico is more like Canada than some people might suppose. Most notably, beyond also having a federal bicameral structure like Canada (and the United States) Mexico has shown a willingness to become more accommodating to a diversity of views in its representative assemblies (Schedler, 20-30). Unfortunately, the historic terrain of Mexican politics has been rough when it comes to meaningful reform and to the long-term sustainability of that reform (Schedler, 10; for a litany of "false starts" vis-a-vis reforming the Mexican democratic process, please see "Popular Choice and Electoral Politics," 125-126) and, lacking a tradition of fair voting representation (and a tradition of opposing ballot box fraud and coercion) its future as a democracy is uncertain."

From the Paper
"Hispanics are generally regarded as having been the first settlers of the southwestern United States, with some communities dating back to the early 1500s. Nevertheless, Hispanic Americans have historically been excluded from the political process of the nation. Hispanic Americans, along with all racial minorities, were guaranteed a constitutional right to political participation during the years immediately following the Civil War. However, the rapid spread of white settlements throughout the United States in the late nineteenth century caused Hispanics to undergo conditions of "dispossession, subjugation, and economic exploitation". As a result of these conditions, Hispanics have been grossly underrepresented throughout the history of American politics. As noted by former federal ... "

Project Proposal for Class Assigned System, 2004.
A study proposal about the difficulties experienced by students and professors during registration of courses.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the problem of students and professors in scheduling courses. It explains that scheduling courses by themselves causes students and professors problems, such as a hard time to find the right course schedule, misinformation on the course schedule, and the inability of graduating students to get the most needed courses because of filled classes.
From the Paper
"Additionally, scheduling is also a current problem in the part of the professors. Drawing from these, we are proposing a design that will automate course assignments. The goal of this proposal is to eliminate the previously mentioned problems by giving attention on the following aspects: making sure that every course is offered at least once a year, making certain the right professors are assigned to the right courses, and making certain students most in need of courses to graduate get preference. Further, publishing the results of course assignments online is included in this proposal to eliminate course misinformation."

"Public Opinion, Controlled For Specific Characteristics, on Requirement For Permits For the Possession of Hand Guns and Some Rifles
Introduction
Controls on the possession of hand guns and some rifles and the opposition to such controls have created passionate debate in the United States since the Bill of Rights itself was debated before the first 10 amendments to the Constitution of the United States were ratified. This research samples public opinion on this issue with an objective of providing greater insights into perceptions on the part of individuals that may explain some of the most ardent, if not necessarily the most effective, opposition to proposal for legal restrictions on the possession of hand guns in the United States, as well as to..."

From the Paper
" The civil rights movement helped prepare America to become a multicultural society. Before the civil rights movement, Americans had believed in the doctrine of "separate but equal." In demanding full integration into society, blacks paved the way for the inclusion of women, disabled people, and other minorities in the American mainstream.
The Montgomery bus boycott of the 1950s was a watershed event in the fledgling civil rights movement. For years, the city bus system in Montgomery, Alabama had been segregated. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, a black domestic worker, refused to give up her seat to a white male passenger. Parks was arrested and charged for violating a municipal ordinance. The arrest of Parks, who was a member of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), enraged the black community.."

Election Reform, 5.
This paper discusses the history of election reform in the U.S..
3,245 words (approx. 13.0 pages), 12 sources, APA, $ 93.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the founding fathers, who wrote the Constitution, were extreme elitists, who gave (1) suffrage to all white men with property and (2) the power to elect the highest executive office, not to the people, but to the Electoral College or the House of Representatives. The author points out that, although the Constitution has been amended to permit people of color, women, 18 year-olds and residents of the District of Columbia to vote in both local and national elections; the U.S. Congress, unlike most other countries, still retains (1) the voting day as "the first Tuesday in November" instead of a weekend day and (2) indirect election of the President through the Electoral College. The paper relates that the bipartisan bill, HR 57, would establish a nonpartisan 12-member commission to examine the advisability and feasibility of proportional voting systems, instant runoff voting, voting system technology and and other issues such as the Electoral College and voter registration options including same-day registration and universal registration.

From the Paper
"Once African Americans were allowed to register to vote without paying a poll tax, local electors used strong-armed tactics by lawful and unlawful groups such as the local sheriff and the Klu Klux Klan, to dissuade any civic-minded individuals of color. Those people of color who were willing to face physical and financial coercion were further subjected to stringent intellectual requirements as a prerequisite to registering to vote. The black population had to quote chapter and verse of the State and U.S. Constitution and analyze it in order to qualify to vote. Men belonging to the white population in the South only had to prove they could read at the second grade level and write their names. Given that those in power were the ones to create electoral divisions in the various states, those in power artificially created voting blocks that were favorable to their own ends, not to that of the people. We still face that problem today."

Abstract
This paper examines the issue of racial gerrymandering in the U.S. The author provides examples of cases in which Democrats lost seats because of racial gerrymandering. Then, the author discusses the Voting Rights Act as amended by the Supreme Court.
From the paper:
"The Voting Rights Act allowed the U.S. attorney general (who was Nicholas Katzenbach at the time) to review voting practices and determine which states, counties, and political subdivisions were discriminating against nonwhite voters. Using rules set out in the act, the attorney general could identify those places that had a "test or device" (McWhirter, 1994) that limited voter registration as well as those places in which less than 50 percent of the voting-age residents were registered to vote in the 1964 presidential election. The act also allowed the attorney general to appoint voting examiners to go into these states, counties, or political subdivisions (which were mainly in the South) and register voters who met all requirements for registration other than the illegal test. The act also required that any changes in voting requirements in the areas that were affected by the act had to be approved by the attorney general. Chief Justice Warren found this to be within the power of Congress as well.
In 1970 the Voting Rights Act was amended. The Supreme Court reviewed the constitutionality of the act in the 1970 decision of Oregon v. Mitchell. As different sections of the act were being considered, the Court divided into different voting blocks. A unanimous Court ruled that Congress had the power to end literacy tests across the country. With a vote of eight to one, the Court accepted the idea that Congress could establish uniform standards for voter registration and absentee balloting. By a vote of five to four, the Court upheld the power of Congress to lower the voting age to 18 in all federal elections. By a vote of five to four, however, the Court ruled that Congress did not have the power under the Fifteenth Amendment to lower the voting age to 18 for state and local elections."

Megan's Law, 2006.
This paper argues for the necessity of Megan's Law.
1,235 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 42.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that "Megan's Law" requires all 50 states to enact laws that force sex offenders to register in their places of residence and requires law enforcement to notify schools, day care centers, and parents in the area of the presence of the sex offender. The author points out that major reasons for this law are that child sex offenders have an extremely high rate of recidivism or subsequent offenses against children, that most child sex offenders are known to their victims and that children are far less likely to report a sexual incident to an adult. The paper states that opponents of Megan's Law note that the system has serious flaws such as the numerous ways to get around the current registration and the sometimes disastrous effects of registration on the prior offender.
From the Paper
"However, there are numerous solutions to this problem. Current pending legislation would require re-registration every 90 days, and would require personal appearances to register. Further ideas are to incorporate GPS systems to track sex offenders. Both situations would allow law enforcement to better track these offenders. Furthermore, even if 100,000 are not tracked currently, this does not negate the system for the 400,000 sex offenders who are currently tracked."
