Abstract
This paper describes how on-line auctions are a form of peer-to-peer (P2P) networking in which the on-line auction serves as the transaction forum, but is not directly involved in the transaction. Consumers who use on-line auctions must place trust in the trade and trust in the trader. This requires that an on-line auction e-company must have solid policies and procedures to resolve disputes between buyers and sellers. The process of resolving disputes on on-line auction websites follow a series of steps, as outlined in this paper. A flow-chart diagram of the steps is included.
From the Paper
"The process for a seller to sell an item on an online auction is parallel to the buyer's process. The seller locates an item he or she would like to sell and researches similar items on eBay to find its potential value to bidders. The seller also decides which category the item best fits and then lists the item using eBay's "Sell Your Item" form. This takes the seller to a step-by-step process where the seller describes the item, posts pictures, and sets a starting price for the auction. When the auction ends and the item was won by a buyer, the buyer pays for the item and its shipping costs using a tool such as PayPal."

Abstract
This report presents an introduction to family mediation with an emphasis on resolving marriage disputes from the courts and practitioners' perspectives. It explains that the role of a mediator is to remain completely impartial and to assist the parties in their attempts to resolve their disputes. Mediation is solely based on cooperation instead of competition. The writer concludes therefore, that the modern family divorce mediation process can be considered as an attempt to negotiate common ground between two parties as opposed to those parties being subjected to the final decisions of a third party.
From the Paper
"Mediation offers a number of opportunities to resolve at least some of the large number of divorces in the United States without costly and time consuming aspects of litigation. Of course, not all divorce cases are ideal for mediation. "Mediation is inappropriate if there is a situation of continuing violence or if one party fears, as a result of experience in the relationship, that he or she will be browbeaten."(Mantle, 1996) Even when the parties are willing to utilize the mediation process, there are times external counsel should be consulted. "Whichever course a man or woman takes, he or she must ensure that the legal issues which may affect the outcome are identified. It is potentially disastrous if they are not. There are as many examples as there are failed marriages to illustrate the importance of correct identification of legal issues, and the dangers inherent in the absence of independent legal advice." (Mantle, 1996) "

Abstract
This paper attempts to understand the role of the WTO in dispute resolutions. It looks at the extent to which the verdicts of the WTO are put into effect, thereby justifying its existence. By reviewing an article published in The Economist, (03-04-2000) ?Trade: A tussle over tax.? Vol. 354, the paper determines the actual role of the WTO. It focuses on how the author of the article creates the view that the U.S. power does not allow the WTO to be as independent as it should be. This is illustrated through the case study of the complaint lodged by the EU against the U.S. tax laws.
From the Paper
"Disputes are common amongst the international communities as nations strive to create a society where their own citizens can live in the best manner possible. At times this need to strive for success creates a dispute as one nation or another does not define progress and success in the same manner as the other. In order to resolve these disputes no matter how petty we have organizations like the World Trade Organizations (WTO) that were created after the world saw and was aghast at the destruction of World War II. To avoid another widespread war these organizations negotiate, mediate and arbitrate between the various stakeholders and try to come to a peaceful solution. Yet, with the number of disputes rising people have begun to question the effectiveness of such organizations. Considering that the current international relations scenario is based on economics and trade and key words like Globalization are the basis of progress it would seem that the WTO would have an integral role to play. Yet, many fear that the effectiveness."

Abstract
Using a fictitious work dispute, as well as Stephen P. Robbins text entitled "Organizational Behavior", this paper discusses various theories which might be applied to work through the dispute and resolve it. The paper begins by describing the hypothetical workplace dispute - a disagreement over the terms of a new employment contract between a professional sports league?s owners and players. It then defines the term 'conflict', using both Robbins' definition of conflict from the text, as well as the author's own interpretation of conflict. The paper thereafter discusses the desired negotiation outcomes from the perspective of both the players as well as the owners concerning the dispute. It does this by discussing Robbins' distributive bargaining and integrative bargaining, as well as forms of negotiation. The paper then talks about several decision-making biases that hinder the dispute resolution effort, citing several scenarios that could result because of these different biases. Finally, the paper concludes by summarizing everything in a final paragraph.
From the Paper
"While it would be preferable for the players and management to seek an integrative solution to their workplace dispute that will result in positive benefits for all, they will have to overcome several decision making biases that may hinder their negotiations. The biggest problem they may run into is engaging into is an irrational escalation of commitment. Robbins defines this as a situation where people continue a previously selected course of action beyond what rational analysis would recommend, because of the time and money they have already invested in pursuing that action (Robbins 585). Because of the emotional highs on both sides and the public scrutiny that are placed on the negotiations, both sides may be reluctant to give any ground or demonstrate any weakness at the negotiation table. Thus, both sides might willingly jump off a cliff together and engage in a work stoppage that will be detrimental to both of their interests."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the workplace is a very common ground for workplace disputes due to its intensity. The writer presents a scenario of a specific dispute and then examines which conflict resolution technique would be most suitable for this situation.
From the Paper
"Dispute (or conflict) is one of the most common human emotions; hence it is a rare workplace or organization that is completely free from conflict. Disputes in a workplace may occur among any of the organization?s stakeholders, e.g., between employee and employee, employee-supervisor, company-vendor, company-customer, and company-competitor. Most conflicts in workplace , particularly in team or group situations cause significant distress among the people involved. If such disputes remain unresolved for some time, they are likely to take a heavy toll of employee morale and result in personal, social and economic costs including costly litigation."

The Brownfield Sites, 2005.
This paper discusses Brownfield sites in the U.K., a program for the reuse of property and for minimizing environmental damage.
3,170 words (approx. 12.7 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 91.95

Abstract
This paper explains that a Brownfield site is any land or premises which has been used previously as a building site and is not currently fully in use and can be used again as part of an environmental policy plan. The author points out that such land may be derelict land, which requires the removal of chemical waste, derelict infrastructure or instability problems, before the land can be redeveloped. The paper relates that the Brownfield system has been successful because it has opened the way for most investors while still maintaining sufficient control to force a cleanup and to assure that housing is placed where housing is needed and business property where business property is needed, according to some centralized plan rather than on an ad hoc basis as was more common in the past.

From the Paper
"One of the areas that have been redeveloped in this fashion is at Stoke-on-Trent, and analysts have examined this site and reported on the brownfield process. R.M. Ball writes specifically about recent policy pronouncements on the UK built environment so as to reinforce the importance of infrastructure, sustainable use, and brownfield
development, and he focuses directly on the issue of vacant industrial premises, or brown buildings, in the local industrial property market. Ball argues that property development is both an economic and a social process, and in both areas, Ball sees the process as an interaction between "actors" in the development process in relation to structural forces that both constrain and facilitate actors as they seek to express and realize their interests."

Supervised Injection Sites, 2008.
This paper explores the arguments for and against the drug policy of supervised injection sites (SIS).

Abstract
The paper discusses sanctioned supervised injection sites (SIS) in Canada where people may inject intravenous drugs under the supervision of trained medical staff, with clean syringes available for their use. The paper explores the reasoning behind this site and the ongoing arguments for and against its continuing operation. The paper supports the belief that drug use will continue and that at least users can be spared the harm inflicted by sharing non-sterile settings in a non-sanitary setting. The paper therefore concludes that the SIS is a sound, pragmatic drug policy that should be continued and developed further.
From the Paper
"In the case of SIS, the reasoning is that drug addicts are going to inject themselves with illegal drugs anyway, so why not make the actual process safer? Especially given that much of the health damage associated with intravenous drug use derives from factors other than the drugs. For example, non-sterile needles cause death through infection, and shared needles cause diseases and death by passing on Hepatitis C, AIDS, etc. As Ezard (2001) points out, the discovery that HIV transmission is linked to injectable drugs "arguably spearheaded the harm reduction movement for illicit drug use" (p. 208). Moreover, many drug deaths are due to overdoses, and those who accidentally overdose in a SIS will be given medical assistance more promptly, and are thus more likely to survive."

Abstract
This paper provides a brief discussion of Greek history and Cretan art. The paper examines the phenomenon of looters and theft from Greek archaeological sites. The on-going battle against looting and smuggling antiquities is described, including an overview of international laws.
From the Paper
"Looters can be dated as far back as 134 B.C. when the Romans originally stole from the Greeks. Only during the last century did countries such as Greece become concerned about their cultures, since the high prices of the artifacts have lead to more of their treasures being stolen. In the 1960?s, the popularity of marble statues encouraged thieves to loot the Aegean Islands for statues produced by the Cycladic culture during the Bronze Age. The looters destroyed over 12,000 graves in the course of their thefts. While many of these statues are in private collections, few have been recovered by archaeologists."

Argumentative Web Sites, 2002.
A review of two different websites that make different kinds of argumentative claims, one political, one commercial.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how a great deal of human communication is in the nature of argumentation and how in this day and age the ?speech? that is going on on Web sites is also in the nature of (rhetorical) argument. It examines two different websites that make argumentative claims that the author was inclined to reject to help to determine the strength and persuasiveness of those claims. The first site is the Jeb Bush gubernatorial re-elections site and it evaluates how election sites are in many ways the quintessence of argumentative speech because the stakes are so high and the second site is that of Pepsi site to see if the author could be swayed to drink Pepsi.
From the Paper
"In asking what would constitute a good web-based argument for this candidacy, the answer would be one that supplied enough substantive coverage of the governor in a sufficiently balanced way that I would want to vote for him if I lived in Florida. This means that while the rhetoric should be persuasive it should not seem forced ? or so positive that it seems false.
The rhetoric on this site lacks that sense of balance. For example: The homepage of the site has a number of different options, such as ?Women for Jeb?, ?Hispanics for Jeb?, ?Seniors for Jeb?. I find it hard to believe that people actually think of themselves in this way. The Web site?s categorization of people into convenient, poll-oriented demographics makes the campaign seem soulless and calculating, surely not the intention of the Bush advisors."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the Internet has opened innumerable doors for communication and educational enterprise and has also opened a much darker paradigm, giving students a new, often negative, avenue of expression. It cites examples of student violations and various court cases and examines how courts have begun to formulate limits to freedom of expression for students.
From the Paper
"Expression in schools and students First Amendment rights have been debated in courts throughout the past 35 years with the most famous case involved being Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (Tinker 1969). The Tinker case involved the legal limits on students? speech that came into discussion when a group of students decided to wear black armbands to show objection for the Vietnam War. These students were asked to remove the armbands and when some did not they were suspended. The students sued and the United States Supreme Court concluded the expression was protected."
