Abstract
Rising sea levels, resulting from global warming, may have a potentially important impact on human culture. Recent evidence supports the contention that increases in greenhouse gases are linked to rising sea levels. This paper shows that one important impact of climate change and rising sea levels is increased rates of extinction across the globe. Further, changes in sea level will have a significant impact on outlying coastal areas, both in terms of physical changes and in terms of events such as storm surges. The paper shows that rising sea levels in the United States and across the world will have significant economic and cultural impacts and may influence human health and the environment through the flooding of toxic waste disposal sites.
From the Paper
"The human impact of increasing sea levels will also be felt in socioeconomic terms, in addition to physical and environmental changes (Warrick, 1993). If sea level rises at what is an estimated to be a 50 to 200 cm in the next century, the financial impact on the United States could be significant. In total, the cost for a one meter rise in sea level during that time would run 270 to 475 billion dollars. This would include the cost of protecting emotion resort communities by raising barrier islands and pumping sand onto beaches, the cost of using dikes and bulkheads to protect developed areas along sheltered waters, and the loss of undeveloped lowlands and coastal wetlands (Titus et al., 1991)."

Background and Overview
Implications of the Easter Rising on Irish Independence from Great Britain
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The actual uprising was short-lived but its impact on Irish nationalism continues to be felt today. According to Kautt, "The Rising began on Easter Monday, 24 April 1916, a bank holiday throughout Great Britain. By Saturday the 29th, it was over. During that week the course of Irish history changed, or the destiny of the Irish people was realized, depending on one's outlook." Although the rebels had surrendered after the rising, the British authorities could not allow such unbridled temerity to go unpunished and set out to make an example of the perpetrators. As a result of their actions, Pearse and the other leaders of the rebellion were subsequently court-martialed and executed by the British authorities in the following weeks; although the insurrection was not particularly well received by the majority of the Irish people at the time, the executions of the rebel leaders transformed them into martyrs and served as the catalyst for future efforts to oust the British from Ireland. During the 6 years that followed, there was no Irish government per se and the British governed the nation until the creation of the Irish Free State on December 6, 1921. According to these historians, "The Easter Rising heralded the end of British power in Ireland. Eamon De Valera, because he was the senior survivor of the rising, dated much of his personal popularity with the Irish people from the time of that event.""

The Easter Rising, 2002.
A look at events leading up to the Irish Easter Rising in 1916.

Abstract
The Easter Rising of 1916 became the catalyst in Irish history that would lead to the establishment of an independent Irish state.
The paper shows that the events leading up to the Easter Rising stem from many years of turmoil and frustration suffered by the island of Ireland. The paper explains how Ireland?s struggle with Britain for independence has been one that has lingered over centuries. The struggle has been increasingly difficult due to the simple fact of proximity, further complicated by the issue that Ireland itself was divided by Protestant and Catholic lines. Such inner turmoil has made any revolution almost impossible. The paper shows that the history of Ireland, however, is much more complicated than that. By encapsulating past events is to do an injustice to the Irish cause. The paper therefore takes a deeper look into the issues surrounding the Easter Rising and helps bring understanding to a complicated issue.
From the Paper
"The Irish Republican Army was, at the very best, a bit uneasy about this treaty. Led by DeValera, the IRA objected to the treaty because it divided Ireland ?and was not sufficiently humiliating enough for Great Britain? (Wells 945). DeValera incited his followers to revolt against the Free State and a civil war between the Republicans and the Free State began. 945 This split the Irish Republican Army members into the pro-treaty and anti-treaty members. Collins had many followers, acknowledging that the treaty paved the way to freedom. These loyalists were transformed into the Free State Army and the anti-treaty forces became known as the Irregulars."

Abstract
This study examines the extent to which rising medical malpractice premiums have affected the quality of care provided by physicians to their patients. The study also looks at the causes and consequences of the rising premiums and examines proposed solutions to the potential health care crisis the rising costs are creating.
Chapter One: Introduction and Problem Statement
Chapter Two: Review of the Literature
Chapter Three: Methodology
Chapter Four: Results
Chapter Five: Conclusion and Further Research
From the Paper
"Medical malpractice premiums have increased exponentially during the last decade, resulting in a decreased pool of qualified physicians available to consumers seeking quality care. As a consequence, consumers are left with fewer and fewer options when seeking out quality medical care. In some circumstances, consumers are left with no convenient available options. In addition, physicians are faced with the ever looming prospect of discontinuing many services formerly offered patients. Physicians are dropping many practices as a result of an inability to cover the premiums associated with insuring such services. Many physicians have been forced out of practice as a result of rising medical malpractice premiums. Patients have found themselves faced with the crisis of finding qualified professionals in an ever shrinking market. A majority of smaller physician practices find themselves at a crossroads; desiring to provide patients with the utmost in quality care, but unable to do so because of exorbitant premiums."

The Rising Costs of Health Care, 2005.
A look at the issues concerning the rising costs of health care in the U.S.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 3 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of rising health care costs in the United States, and relates the issue to the government, business, and health care industries. The paper further looks into these organization's roles in halting rising health care costs, and discusses professional opinions in relation to the matter. The addition of technology and its affects on health care are also discussed.
From the Paper
"In the United States there are many poor, aging, and young who have traditionally been without health insurance due to the rising costs associated with care. When society considers those entities that should play a significant role in reducing health care costs the organizational elements of government, industry, and health care providers them selves are logical considerations. Yet, while the United States patiently waits for some type of health care cost relief there does not appear to be any notable action being taken to reduce these costs. During the December 2002 online discussion posted on NewsHour, with Jim Lehrer, the issue of health care costs was discussed in relation to insurance providers, hospitals, and health care workers. Lehrer spoke with many professionals in these organizations, and discovered that there are primary causes for the rise in health care costs in the United States. "

Verner W. Crane's "Benjamin Franklin and a Rising People", 2007.
This paper reviews Verner W. Crane's "Benjamin Franklin and a Rising People", which outlines Benjamin Franklin's contributions to the formation of the United States.

Abstract
This paper explains that Verner W. Crane's thesis in his book "Benjamin Franklin and a Rising People" is that, as Franklin rose to affluence with his inquisitive, questioning mind, his extensive research, writing and inventing, at the same time, his fellow citizens, the 'rising people', also began to question the conventions of the British government, which led to the American Revolution. The author points out that Crane examines Franklin's contributions by working chronologically through his life. The paper relates that, throughout the book, Crane uses excerpts from various letters, newspapers and writing pieces of Franklin's to show exactly the kind of man Franklin was. The author concludes that Franklin was definitely a one-of-a-kind person, who was crucial to the beginning stages of this country.
From the Paper
"Crane explains that Franklin was a very talented writer but James did not allow him to display his abilities enough for Benjamin's liking. To counter his brother's stubbornness, Benjamin began writing letters that were published in the paper under the name Silence Dogood. This habit of using a ghost-name stuck with Franklin as he used it several other times throughout his life. Nonetheless, James eventually found out about Benjamin's ghostwriting ways and expressed his displeasure."

Yeats, "Easter Rising" and Irish Independence, 2008.
A review of the poem "Easter Rising 1916" by William Butler Yeats.

Abstract
This paper examines the poem "Easter Rising 1916" by William Butler Yeats and explains that the struggle for Irish independence is the central theme of the poem. The paper looks at how we can conclude from reading Yeats' poem that Yeats considered the efforts towards independence prior to the Easter Rising was too politicized and did not have enough social relevance. The paper points out that Yeats cites the apathy displayed by the public due to years of complacency as an issue that was not addressed effectively. The paper further points out that for Yeats, although the leaders of the rebellion may have had noble intentions, their actions lacked foresight which resulted to violence and the loss of lives including their own. The paper concludes that, for Yeats, independence can only be realized if there is a full understanding of its cost and when society is willing to practice libertarian ideas and not just talk about it.
From the Paper
"Yeats counts himself among the people in society that practice the exchange of "Polite meaningless words" without having any real interests in other people in Ireland, as suggested by the line "lived where motley is worn" (Yeats line 8, 14). This view of society reflects Yeats' view that the Irish people have become used to their society and have become apathetic and uninterested with the concerns of their countrymen. He illustrates that social exchanges have become ritualized that neither affords the discussion of real issues whose sole purpose is for entertainment, to "please a companion", or to impress others (line 11)."

The Irish Rising of 1916, 2002.

Abstract
An historical analysis of the rebellions that took place in Ireland on Easter Monday of 1916. This paper argues that without this particular rising, though there were many before and after, the independence of Ireland would not have occured. The influence of the Irish Rising created the momentum needed to pursue political and social change in Ireland.
From the Paper
"Every revolution is the consequence of one revolution and the beginning of another" (Evans, 588). The Easter Rising of 1916 in Ireland was no exception. Tensions had been building between the Irish and British for nearly 350 years. The rebellions of 1584, 1595, 1641, 1689, 1798, 1803, 1848, and 1867 furthered the conflict between the two states, and resulted in the rebellion of 1916 (Dangerfield, 202). The conflict was centred on the quest for an Irish state, independent of the British Empire. The rising of 1916 brought about a social revolution seeking political change, and began the attempts at a military coup that would last nearly an entire century. This was accomplished through the proclamation of the Republic, the growing political power of Sinn Fein, and the fighting itself."

Abstract
A look at the writings of William Butler Yeats and Sean O?Casey, contemporaries of the Easter Rising leaders in Ireland and literary figures. The author analyzes the two writers perspectives of the event.
From the Paper
?After the rising, nothing in Ireland was ever the same. Easter week became the central point of modern Irish history, and events were dated according to whether they had happened before or after that event,? says Michael Costigan in A History of Modern Ireland (Costigan 333). Two of Ireland?s most significant literary figures, William Butler Yeats and Sean O?Casey who were both contemporaries of the Easter Rising?s leaders, treat the subject differently in their writings both before and after the event, but there is no doubt they were both powerfully affected by it."

"The Sun Rising", 2003.
A review of John Donne's poem "The Sun Rising".

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines John Donne's "The Sun Rising," an aubade poem in which the speaker berates the sun for rousing him and his lover after a night of sexual bliss. It looks at how his relationship with his mistress becomes the axis around which both the poem and his life revolve and how in his mind, the vast outer limits of the universe contract to the small space that he occupies with his lover, the only space of any importance to him: his bed. It analyzes the diction of the speaker, the external structure of the poem and the transformation of cosmic symbols and celestial imagery throughout the poem. It discusses how the use of the poem's setting as a microcosm of the world illuminates the poem's central theme of the paradoxical nature of true love.
From the Paper
"The speaker?s interpretation of the sun?s functions evolves throughout the poem, mirroring the fluctuations of his own passions. Initially, he belittles the sun by associating it with the distasteful tasks of rousing ?late schoolboys and sour prentices? (6) and calling mindless automatons, or ?country ants? (8) to work. In the second stanza, he further extends his arrogant deprecation of the sun?s faculties by asserting both that he could shut out its rays by merely closing his eyes and that his mistress? eyes shine so brightly that they could eclipse its light. Such hyperbolic declarations mark the culmination of his condescending remarks and the climax of his reckless passion, for in the third stanza he tempers his bold assertions by finally recognizing the sun?s true duty ?[t]o warm the world? (28)."

Rising Health-Care Premiums, 2002.
The paper analyzes the factors contributing to rising health-care premiums and the resulting difficulties faced by employers in providing healthcare coverage to employees.
779 words (approx. 3.1 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 27.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper notes the reasons causing higher premiums, such as high inflation, greater demand and use of prescription drugs and increasing reliance on health care as disease treatment rather than prevention.
The paper also examines the way employers are likely to reduce rising costs by shifting some of the premium burden to employees, or offering more restrictive health-care programs.
From the Paper
"In a recent article published by the Los Angeles Times in December of 2002, reporter Ronald White noted that in 2003 premiums were likely to jump as much as 15%. Nationally, in 2003 employer costs are expected to rise between 14 and 15%, which is the largest increase in over a decade (White, 2002). Some solutions Los Angeles companies have developed include higher deductibles, higher co-pays, and more restricted formularies for prescription use, which tends to limit prescription costs for employers and employees (White, 2002). Some small companies have eliminated health care coverage all together. In 2002, companies employing fewer than 50 workers dropped health care coverage by as much as 62% in 2002 (White, 2002)"

Abstract
The conquest of California as portrayed by Walker was little more than an uncontrolled land grab. In vivid detail, Walker recounts both the martial exploits and the political controversies of John Charles Fremont, Commodore Robert Field Stockton, and General Stephen Watts Kearney. Fremont, however, cannot have created California on his own. Stockton came to California to earn a military win over Castro - the last remaining resistance of any real force in California to Fremont's desired ends.

Global Warming and Rising Ocean Levels, 2005.
A combined research and ethics paper that examines the negative effects of global warming and their contribution to the rising ocean levels.
1,167 words (approx. 4.7 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 40.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents facts about global warming and the effect it has, and will have, on the oceans and the delicate marine life and habitat. The discussion involves the melting of polar caps and the effects resulting from such devastation. The paper examines how warmer temperatures will destroy marine life and concentrates on the delicate coral reef system which is already feeling the effects of the warmer ocean temperatures. The temperature rise and ocean rise are discussed, along with ideas on halting the progression of dangerous toxins contributing to higher climate temperatures.
From the Paper
"As the coral reefs die, so do many other species of fish, crab and several other species. Large increases in the volumes of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are already apparent. At current rates of change, carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere will double by the end of the next century (2100 AD). Calculations indicate that this rate of change in carbon dioxide alone will may result in a warming of between 1.5 and 4.5?C. The most likely effect of sustained global warming will be a melting of the polar ice caps, and a rise in sea level, while on land the deserts will expand."

Abstract
This paper discusses how a tight labor market has affected U.S. manufacturers. It then goes on to suggest measures that U.S. manufacturers can take to anticipate changes in the labor market. The paper discusses the different factors affecting the rising cost of production. It concludes by suggesting that successful corporations have been able to anticipate rising labor costs of production and have also been able to enjoy record profits by passing on the burden of increased costs of production to their consumers.
From the Paper
"Corporate America is finding it difficult to maintain its lofty profit margins because higher wages are squeezing corporate profits. More concrete data now confirms this trend. In this paper, I discuss how a tight labor market has affected U.S. manufacturers and measures U.S. manufacturers can take to anticipate changes in the labor market."
