From the Paper
"Also, the UFO Museum of Research, along with many other sources, says a farmer named Mac Brazel was the first person to see evidence of the controversial UFO crash. He was riding out on his horse to round up some stray sheep when he noticed some metal debris scattered over a large area. As Brazel looked closer, he noticed a trench hundreds of feet long had been dug into the land. The first thing he did was drag a large piece of metal from the trench to a shed near his house. Brazel wanted to show the metal piece to his neighbors. The neighbors had no idea what it was, so they immediately notified the police. The police went straight to the Central Intelligence Agency, where Major Jesse Marcel and his troops cleaned the debris from the site of the wreck. The cleanup alone took about three days (Roswell, n.p.)."

Abstract
This paper discusses UFO theories and research which support the theory that, while UFOs have not been proven, they do in fact exist. The paper bases its position upon individual experience, historical evidence and the actions of scientists who, like the majority of the population, realize that it is more possible for life to exist "out there" than for the opposite to be true.

Abstract
The writer of this well-researched paper compares the events of 1987 to those which occurred in 1926, which brought about the Great Depression. This paper examines the causes and consequences of the 1987 crash, while also discussing the policy responses to the event and its future implications. This paper analyzes the status of the stock market 5 years prior to the crash. From 1982-1987 the Dow Industrial Average had risen from 776 points in August 1982 to a record high of 2,722 points in August 1987. This paper delves into the warning signs that were evident, prior to the crash, yet were largely ignored, including a weakening U.S. dollar, a rising trade deficit, inflation and the first short term interest raise in 3 years by the Federal Reserve. The writer discusses how the crash not only affected the U.S. stock market, but markets around the world as well. This paper looks at the U.S. trade and budget deficits that rose steadily during the 1980s, which have also been blamed for the crash. This paper delves into how the Federal Reserve responded to the crash, while also examining the reform measures taken to prevent a similar disaster in the future.

From the Paper
"In the wake of the crash of 87 many analysts, including a presidential task force, laid the blame for the decline squarely on portfolio insurance. As evidence, they quoted the fact that portfolio insurance alone accounted for 12% of the selling in stock and index futures markets on October 19, 1987. According to the "blame portfolio insurance" theory, portfolio insurers came to the Monday's opening armed with an overhang of unexecuted sell orders from the accelerating decline of the previous week and placed large sell orders to initiate the decline in the market. From then onwards, as the market declined further during the day, the sell orders by the portfolio insurers kept on increasing to cater for their back log. To make matters worse, other investors who were not familiar with portfolio insurance, saw the declining prices and assumed that the selling was based on fundamentals and joined the queue of sellers; thus perpetuating the vicious circle."

Abstract
This paper shows how in his book "The Great Crash 1929", John Kenneth Galbraith, a leading economist, examines the meaning of the stock market crash of 1929 which has become a persistent fear for Wall Street ever since. It looks at the events leading up to the crash and details the aftermath. It compares recent downturns in the market today to the Great Crash and discusses how a crash such as the one that occurred in 1929 is simply impossible given the current structure of the market and of governmental and other controls. It analyzes how Galbraith finds that what happened in 1929 was not an isolated action and that earlier in history there had been other speculative splurges, beginning in 1637 when Dutch speculators invested in tulip bulbs.
From the Paper
"There were events prior to the Great Crash showing that the market might draw back. Galbraith cites one such in June of 1928 when in fact the death of the bull market was predicted, but this prediction was premature. Herbert Hoover would be elected President in 1929, and he had been concerned about the rising tide of speculation for some time. When he was Secretary of Commerce, he had tried to get the market under control. His attitude was kept secret, however, so his election did not cause the panic it would have otherwise. Ownership of property was rewarded by this time only in terms of an early rise in price. All other uses were irrelevant. Speculation in the market provided early returns and less responsibility, and people were buying stocks on margin so they could have the increase in price without the costs of ownership."

Abstract
This paper is an examination and analysis of the facts presented by both the American and Canadian investigators regarding the crash of the Arrow Airs DC-8 in December 1985. The paper begins with a recap of the crash and the possible causes that were put forth by both countries which have held to their position that it was caused by ice on the wings of the plane. The author presents evidence that this crash was caused by an explosive device, planted by terrorists and goes into great detail as to the why this theory has been so carefully guarded by both governments. This paper raises several issues about the circumstances surrounding the crash including speculation that this was a deliberate act of terrorism and presents different reports about the events leading up to the plane's departure from Egypt. It also discusses the findings of aeronautical engineers who investigated the findings at the crash site and presents testimony from the government hearings held in both Canada and the United States.
From the Paper
"The 101st division was one of four divisions that made up the Multinational Force and Observers. The purpose of MFO was to operate checkpoints and conduct reconnaissance patrols along the international boundary lines. Every six months the troops were rotated. This was a massive undertaking and involved the cooperation of the Egyptians to insure that the utmost security precautions were taken (Sandford pg). However, from the moment the troops from the 101st were to depart from the Sinai, a sequence of events occurred that were far from normal procedure. Ras Nasrani airport had always been used as the airport of departure for the troops. But at the last minute Army officials were notified that Ras Nastrani airport could not accommodate large planes due to construction being conducted on the main runway. Therefore, the troops were flown by Egypt Air Boeing 737s to the Cairo International Airport."

From the Paper
"The stock-market crash of 1929 was the single most dramatic event in the economic history of the United States, perhaps of the world. In a few days, not only did the New York Stock Exchange suffer a crash not to be matched for nearly six decades, but an era of economic expansion and prosperity came to an end, as the American and world economy slid slowly but steadily into the Great Depression. John Kenneth Galbraith, the dean of American liberal economists, originally wrote The Great Crash in 1955, less than halfway between the time of the crash itself and the present day. A classic narrative account of the process that led to the Crash, and of the events of the Crash itself, it was re-issued in 1988, almost unchanged in its text save for a new introduction by the author, in which he relates his account of 1929 to the events surrounding the stock crash of October, 1987."

From the Paper
" The purpose of this paper is to compare the causes and economic effects of the U.S. stock market crashes in 1929 and 1987.
On October 26, 1987, the U.S. stock market experienced the second "Black Monday" in its history. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 508 points, the most severe decline ever recorded. The 22.6 percent loss raised the specter of the crash of 1929, which precipitated the Great Depression of the 1930s. As analysts were quick to point out, the losses in the 1987 crash were twice as severe as the 12.8 percent losses in '29 that prompted many Wall Street investors to jump out of windows. (Fortunately, as several cynical wags pointed out, most windows in today's skyscrapers can't be opened.) While people weren't taking quick exits out their windows following the '87 crash,(...)"

From the Paper
"Monetary policy became ambiguous between February 1930 and 1932. Government security purchases in the open market continued to decline until 1932. This reduced liquidity by lowering non-borrowed reserves. Although the interest rate was reduced between March 1930 and September 1931, it was raised twice in late 1931. This made loans more expensive and deterred people and corporations from borrowing. (1929...)"

Abstract
This paper studies the possible reasons for the stock market crash in 1929. It examines John Kenneth Galbraith's book 'The Great Crash: 1929' which claims that the reason for the Great Crash was the over-zealousness and miscalculations of financial analysts and brokers at the time. It discusses how the basis economic theories were suddenly irrelevant afterwards. Finally, it blames the stock market crash on investors that did not want to see the reality.
From the Paper
"John Kenneth Galbraith's book "The Great Crash: 1929 claims that the depression of 1929 was a direct result of the miscalculations of the financial analysts and the other brokers which caused the crash of the stocks. He states that these actors of the economic field had a direct involvement in the stock market and had become too greedy to actually see what was happening to the market around them---too greedy to actually fear the recuperation?s of what was easily predictable as the downfall."

Abstract
Very few films attempt to tackle tough issues that we as human beings face. This paper shows that the movie, "Crash" is a thought-provoking look at racial stereotypes in America. Written and directed by Paul Haggis, "Crash" is set in Los Angeles, a city in which strangers never come into contact unless they crash into one another - literally. The paper shows that the makers of the film had the guts to face racism in a way that is tasteful and yet entertaining. Racism and its depiction through film are discussed first. A plot overview is outlined, followed by the conclusion which ties the two together.
From the Paper
"This night, Jack crosses the line when he sexually assaults a woman whose car he pulled over, in full view of Thomas and her terrified husband. Terrence Howard plays black TV director Cameron Thayer, whose wife, Christine (Thandie Newton), endures this humiliation. The incident, combined with his treatment at work, pushes Cameron over the edge. The movie then climaxes with a turn of events that makes Los Angeles look like Redding itself with a bunch of coincidences that would never happen in a big city. All of these people's lives come to one big intersection for the grand finale, which leaves the viewer with subject material for plenty of discussions about racism and how it affects American life."

Abstract
The work by Professor Emeritus Charles P. Kindleberger, "Manias, Panics and Crashes" is an influential piece of economic literature examining the many financial crashes that have occurred in the modern banking world since the 18th century. In his work Kindleberger looks for a basic pattern behind financial crashes and examines the framework in its historical context. This paper examines Kindleberger's book and evaluates the concepts he presents in the work. The paper also presents the writer's conclusions regarding the validity of the theories and concepts propounded by Kindleberger.
From the Paper
"Much the same situation occurred in the housing bubble. Minsky's idea that bubbles are largely created by an expansion of credit is significant in that event. Housing prices were already subject to increases, and this brought an increasing amount of buyers into the market. Supply was constrained by availability of land in key locations, and by the time and labor required to build more homes. As Minsky/Kindleberger propose, this in and of itself would have not resulted in a mania. Enter subprime mortgages. The model requires easy access to credit to work. Subprime represented that access, and this allowed new entrants to the market who would not otherwise be there. The model worked perfectly, and two key things happened. First, supply outstripped demand. Even with dirt cheap mortgages, housing prices in many markets skyrocketed to the point where legitimate purchasers were flushed out of the market. The reduction in demand, coupled with the continuous increase in speculative buying with cheap and easy credit, resulted in the financial distress."

Abstract
This paper uses Paul Haggis' film, "Crash", to examine two concepts from social psychology, individualism versus collectivism, and persuasion with regard to attitudinal change. In particular, it looks at "Crash" and how Paul Haggis addresses quite bluntly the everyday racism of Los Angeles as eight characters of diverse backgrounds happen to intersect over a couple of days, changed by one event or recognition or another. The paper attempts to show how the film is helpful in its depiction of persons 'safely' distanced from one another, who can no longer be so on account of random incidents over a day or two and how all characters, as they are been brought to their senses, see the need for expansion and positive sense of collectivism in a disturbed city.
Outline:
Introduction
Individualism vs. Collectivism
Persuasion
Concluding Discussion
From the Paper
"Haggis's entire film is an exercise in persuasion as much as characters each undergo experiences to reveal their previous attitudes for what they were, redemption possible in putting aside the non-interaction of before, the recognition profound that all with whom they have dealt in the two days in Los Angeles have proven about like themselves. Within this concept, Alcock Et Al referred to a protection motivation model of human defense mechanisms centered on a belief in a serious threat, a person to feel vulnerable in some way, a person able to perform a recommended action, and belief that this action will be successful. (2005: 130-131) Chaudhuri Et Al noted the tendency towards cooperation in social dilemmas, as in unexpected disasters inducing sudden trust and reciprocity. (2002) If one does not sustain a crisis or another transforming experience, then one continues in the luxury of assumption, avoidance and exclusion. "
