Abstract
This paper is an argumentative essay about the need for salary caps in Major league Baseball. The paper argues that salary caps are necessary in order survive as a profitable sport.
From the Paper
"There is obviously a problem in Major league Baseball and it needs to be fixed before the league goes belly up. While this sounds preposterous it is quite possible. In my mind the best solution would be a salary cap and revenue sharing. As a Padres fan I grow tired of seeing them place last or second to in the NL West. While I will still support them I won?t be attending as many games (especially while in Iowa). Because of this they will lose money in ticket sales, with the effects of that trickling all the way down to revenue for broadcasting, leaving them in a financially precarious position. This is in danger of happening to many teams. Fans are going are growing tired and vexed at seeing their teams go nowhere in the post-season. Three competitive teams are not enough to keep a profitable fan base and more importantly profitable revenue."

From the Paper
"Can the Cleveland Indians rise from their tradition of mediocrity, learn to play strong professional baseball, attract crowds to see the winning team and bring honor to themselves and to the city of Cleveland? This is the loaded question that the movie Major League seeks to answer, and it answers enthusiastically in the affirmative.
In the movie, the hapless Indians are inherited by an ex-show girl from her late husband. She wants to move the team to Miami and, in order to get out of the stadium lease, needs for attendance to drop below 800,000. As a result, the widow puts together a ragtag team of over-the-hill players, a pitcher who has a rapid fastball but no control, and a team which is overall comprised of movie stereotypes, with the result that the prospect of assembling a winning team seems next to impossible."

From the Paper
"The study by Eric Pick entitled "The Economic Effects of a Salary Cap on a Professional Sports League" is an attempt to develop and apply an econometric model to the subject at hand. The study is based on a model that is limited, so the most that could emerge from it is a potentially useful formula to be applied on a broader scale than the two team universe addressed by the author and that may or may not be applicable to a variety of different types of sports leagues. The same basic issues do apply to different types of sports leagues, and efforts to apply a salary cap have been part of major sports leagues for some time. In 1994, a threatened basketball strike led to an agreement that involved salary caps, among other provisions. In that case, as an end to the players' union was threatened, the players... "

Introduction
Review Of The Literature
Summary And Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to Fields (2001) many and often are the debates surrounding the issue of whether professional baseball players are actually worth the exorbitant salaries they are paid. Stated is: "A recent report from the Independent Members of the Commissioner's Blue Ribbon Panel on Baseball Economics concluded that from 1995-99 only three teams (Cleveland, Colorado, and New York Yankees) achieved profitability (Levin et al. 2000). These factors have resulted in arguments for revenue sharing, a tax on clubs with payrolls over a fixed threshold, and other measures to attempt to lower players' salaries.""

Salaries of CEOs, 2004.
A discussion of the outrageously high salaries paid to executive officers of certain companies.

Abstract
This paper discusses the outrageous salaries of chief executive officers, showing that most experts agree that the extreme salaries and bonus packages began during the boom years of the 1990s. The writer looks at the recent decrease in overall spending by companies, with the exception of of boardrooms across America regarding CEO benefits. On the other hand, the writer shows that some critics believe that, due to the fact that the United States is the leading participant in the new global economy, the right CEO in a company can make all the difference. The demand is huge, and the supply is small; therefore, companies are willing to pay for fear the CEOs will leave for another company.
From the Paper
"The high profile scandals or fraud and executive chicanery has tarnished corporate America. ?The sputtering economy and sagging corporate profits pounded stock for a third-consecutive year?But when it came to pain and suffering?most CEOs barely felt the downdraft last year? (Strauss, Hansen Pp). Based on an exclusive database analysis by USA Today and the Investor Responsibility Research Center, a corporate-governance watchdog, CEOs running 100 of the biggest companies in the United States pulled in median 2002 compensation of $33.4 million, essentially unchanged from 2001."

Abstract
This paper will discuss the notion of economic amongst the sport world of today. By understanding why many professionals in the sports world receive high salaries, we can learn why they seem to reach astronomical rates in this field. The elements of Adam Smith, and Marxist economics certainly play a part in this analysis, and can show us why the demand for good players is so high. By having the demand higher than the supply, the obvious idea of high salaries is not a shocking one, but helps us to realize the way that certain players of sports get these top notch wages.

Salaries of Professional Athletes, 2002.
This paper looks at the negative effects of the skyrocketing salaries of professional athletes today.

Abstract
This paper discusses the current salaries of professional athletes and their impact on the sports world. The author examines how the skyrocketing salaries have affected experiences and perceptions of fans and negatively impacted professional sports.
From the Paper
"If you are planning on taking your family to a ball game, be sure to come with your favorite team?s t-shirt, your camera and binoculars, and a fat wallet. That?s right, be prepared to fork over the cash, because it will cost you upwards of over $250. Athlete salaries have drastically increased over the past couple decades. As these wages continue to mushroom to unprecedented heights, the cost of attending sporting events elevates to new plateaus of its own. In addition to increased ticket prices, which hurt the ability of many fans to go to games, exploding salaries have resulted in greed of players and owners and a lower quality of play in some areas. All of this has left a bad taste in the mouths of even the most diehard sports fans. If current trends continue, professional sports might lose what remains of its integrity and become just another industry where victory is auctioned off to the highest bidder."

Abstract
The paper explains that the salaries of federal judges are dependent on the salaries of Congress. The paper relates that Congress has been unwilling to "award itself" standard salary increases over the past few decades because of public discontent with the government. The paper relates that Justices are resigning their positions since salaries for private sector lawyers are steadily increasing.
Outline:
Introduction
History
Justice Views
Federal Judge Resignations
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The judicial branch of the federal government has been concerned with issues related to the salaries of judges for a number of years. The salaries of federal judges are connected by law to the "salaries of members of Congress" ("Federal Judicial", 2001). However, Congress has been unwilling to "award itself" standard salary increases over the past few decades because of public discontent with government ("Federal Judicial", 2001). Although Chief Justice Rehnquist, and his successor, Chief Justice Roberts have attempted to bring the issue to the public, their voices have created no change in the salaries of the federal judiciary. Until Congress is prepared to either alter the laws attaching judicial salaries to its body, or vote in normal cost of living increases for itself there does not appear to be an answer to this issue in the near future."

Superstar Sports Salaries, 2005.
A discussion on the inflated salaries of NHL players.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The following paper examines the outrageous sums of money commanded by NHL players. To elaborate upon this point, the paper looks at the cost of NHL salaries vis-a-vis ordinary working-class families or skilled professionals. The paper also highlights the cost of a small family attending one game. As soon become evident, hockey players are not paid because of their value to society, but because there are so few of them to go around.
From the Paper
"Over the last three decades, professional sports have become big business - in some cases, multi-billion dollar business. Perhaps nowhere is this development more pronounced than in pro hockey, where salaries have climbed from the level of dentists and doctors to the level of corporate CEOs and Wall Street power-brokers. The following paper will examine hockey salaries and determine whether hockey players - like most entertainers - are entirely deserving of their massive salaries, or whether they are over-paid and over-praised (as many fans and non-fans argue). In any event, what should emerge from the following discussion is that the law of supply-and-demand, more so than any law of social utility, informs the rationale for the massive pay-outs to big-league hockey players."

A detailed discussion about Jules Verne's book "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea."

Abstract
In this analysis of "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" by Jules Verne, the writer of this paper takes the reader on an exploratory journey of the story itself and then works to compare the culture of the people on the submarine to actual cultures. The writer concludes with a discussion about the comparison.
From the Paper
"Many times in literature the author will use the story to portray or convey some truth in fiction about the culture he is writing about. This was the case with Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea. In this book the author takes painstaking efforts to convey many details with extreme accuracy relating to the culture of life at sea and the findings that occur. Other aspects of the culture are not as easily defined because of the various nations that the shipmates come from. However, the culture of sea life is a culture that crosses all barriers and Verne does an excellent job of painting a mental picture for the reader about the culture that his characters lived in the story and would have lived had they been real."

Abstract
This paper discusses the book, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", by Jules Verne. The paper introduces the book's narrator, a Frenchman named Professor Aronnax, his Belgian assistant, Conseil and Ned Land, a Canadian sailor. The paper describes how Verne represents in these personas, three different segments of French-speaking Europe?the Parisian intellectual, the smaller and helpful Belgian servant and the outdoorsy Canadian. The antagonist of the story, Captain Nemo, is examined in detail.
From the Paper
"The story begins when Professor Aronnax agrees to investigate a series of attacks by a mysterious sea monster. After joining the crew of the ship Abraham Lincoln and Ned Land, the men encounter what they first believe is the monster, but turns out to be a large, state-of-the-art submarine, the Nautilus. But in a way, they have encountered a monster, because Captain Nemo has become so cruel, embittered, and mad from his time away from humanity, that it is almost as though he is like the monsters he observes and is tracking himself."
