Abstract
This paper uses five sources besides the movie to explain how "Saving Private Ryan," directed by Steven Spielberg, presents a false depiction of World War II. The paper argues that the movie is lying to the public about the realities of WWII and in fact glorified a horrifying time period in history.
From the Paper
"In the movie Saving Private Ryan, Steven Spielberg tries to recreate war as close as possible. At certain times in the movie you feel as if you are right there in the battle scene. However, the majority of the movie and the overall plot of the movie leave the lingering question in a historical mind, "Did that really happen?" or "I can't believe that really happened." The answers to these questions are not simple answers, but rather a system of comparing and contrasting accredited sources with the movie. By comparing actual footage of wars in current times and relating how the wars might have been different back then is a test people might use to determine how truthful the story is."

Abstract
In this article, the writer introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of film and reality. Specifically, the paper compares the film "Saving Private Ryan" to the real events that inspired the story. The writer notes that many people might not know that Stephen Spielberg's film "Saving Private Ryan" is based at least in part on a real occurrence during World War II. The writer points out that the actual man rescued was Sergeant Frederick "Fritz" Niland, a member of the 101st Airborne and one of four brothers fighting during World War II. The writer discusses that "Saving Private Ryan" is a consummate war film that graphically points out the horror and brutality that is war. The writer also notes that it is a loving tribute to family and how important family is to the fabric of America. In addition, the writer claims that it is a story of courage - courageous men who fight for what is right and the rights of others to keep the world free. The writer concludes that living to tell the story is a great gift, and perhaps the greatest gift Fritz Niland gave to the world after his story became public.
From the Paper
"The premise for the story is pure fairy tale, and yet the graphic depictions of war make it one of the most historically accurate and difficult war films to view without wincing. It shows the senseless slaughter and destruction, and is not a film any viewer can soon forget. Therefore, while most of the situations and the characters are all fiction, there is much in the film that is real, frightening, and memorable. Spielberg knows how to tell a story masterfully, and he knew a good story when he found one. The real story of Fritz might not be the stuff of films, so Spielberg took real events and wove his own version of events around them to create something important and meaningful."

Abstract
The comparison of two WWII movies and how they are both very important in teaching the history of what "The Greatest Generation" did for us and freedom.
From the Paper
"For my assignment, I have chosen to compare, contrast, and review two of my favorite war movies. As a historical preservationist, I enjoy watching movies relating to American and world history ? but I also have a bad habit of scrutinizing them for errors. Is the character wearing the correct uniform? Did that really take place or was it made up for the movie? I felt that these two movies, which both dealt with the time around June 6, 1944 (D-Day), would be a good pair to look at from the old Hollywood style and the new ?television age and beyond? movie style."

World War II Films, 2005.
A comparative analysis of the films "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Thin Red Line".
1,225 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 0 sources, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" is about the mission to find and retrieve one man Private James Ryan and how Terrence Malick's "The Thin Red Line" tells the story of the first Marine invasion of Guadalcanal, the small atoll of the Solomon Islands, on August 7, 1942. The author points out that some of the most remarkable similarities between the two films are the incredible production teams, excellent cinematography teams and brilliant composers.
From the Paper
"Still, one of the most obvious differences lies in the star appearances within the films. Specifically, in "The Thin Red Line", the miscast John Travolta and the misused George Clooney plague the film. Indeed, while these two leading actors are both tall, dark, handsome, thereby making them nearly indistinguishable, they are also merely star cameos. Moreover, they are annoying and they nearly undermine the credibility of the entire affair. Conversely, in "Saving Private Ryan", the actors are believable and strong. Tom Hanks is especially solid in his performance as a man on the verge of a breakdown who keeps it all together for the sake of his crew. Ultimately, he does not look like a glorified hero; instead, he looks like an ordinary man outside of his comfortable environs."

Americans Do Not Save
The Decreasing Dollar
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Our national policy does not encourage investing or saving, as the tendency for spending is in vogue in top government and the national debit climbs higher than it ever has. "The Brookings Institution warns that if we do nothing for the next 10 year, problems will get so bad that balancing the budget would require a 40 percent plus cut in benefits and spending, or offsetting tax increases. They acknowledge that politically nothing will be done until a crisis explodes." (cited in Farrell, 2006) The value of the dollar continues to decline on the world market and it does affect the average American."

Abstract
This paper presents a brief introduction to Egbede World Outreach for Saving the Kids, a benefaction of the Edo prince Nosa Okunbor and others, often of the Nigerian elite abroad. The paper shows that the organization is typical of those that emerge in response to particular, topical developments, in this case, the news that Nigerian anti-AIDS treatment was being extended to adult cases, ignoring the countries thousands HIV positive children.
From the Paper
"The mass media can give the idea that large and longstanding non-governmental organizations, or United Nations agencies, are the main source of relief or development work in poor societies. However, Nigeria's Egbede World Outreach for Saving the Kids provides a reminder of how important quite small, and privately financed projects can be. The charity's main sponsor has been Prince Nosa Okunbor, a member of a family much involved in different kinds of Christian and other Edo activism, alert to the need to invest in children in sub-Saharan Africa, as the only chance for the future."

Abstract
This paper spells out the extreme importance of making every effort to save the world's rainforests. Many people do not realize the importance of plants and trees to the human and animal populations. Oxygen, our most important resource, comes from the rainforests. Also, the rainforests have provided many cures for diseases and are home to many exotic and beautiful animals. The paper argues that the depletion of the rainforests will eventually result in the demise of the world.
From the Paper
"Global warming is causing a greenhouse effect on the earth. Since the 1930s the average temperature has risen at least ten degrees and even more in some places (Hartmann 53). Cutting down trees in the rainforest is making carbon dioxide in the atmosphere more abundant, because trees take in carbon dioxide. In The Last Hours of Sunlight: Waking Up to Personal and Global Transformation, Thom Hartmann address the problems of the greenhouse effect. ?It is exactly what it says; the world is becoming a greenhouse. We are holding in carbon dioxide because there are fewer trees to absorb what humans produce? (9). ?The way that humans are jumping on the opportunity the cut down tress it is like humans are trying to commit suicide by asphyxiation? (Bjorn 82). Oxygen is our most important resource and humans are not thinking of the consequences of their actions."

From the Paper
"Rainforests are some of the most valuable resources we have, yet they are being destroyed in massive proportions. Many medicines, foods, natural insecticides and oil producing trees are found in the rainforest. The rainforest also holds endless possibilities for useful, undiscovered resources such as cures for disease and new food crops. The rainforest is also a big producer of the world?s? oxygen supply. When we destroy the rainforest, we are destroying our own oxygen supply. Many organizations have been battling to save the rainforests. If the destruction is to stop, a greater effort must be made to understand the causes behind the destruction of the rainforests. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the need for intervention in the social security program. It explains that failure to address the issues surrounding the changes within the American society might result in the collapse of the retirement fund.

The writer also looks at policy makers who want to dismantle the program, and others who speculate that the program can be reformed without dismantling and remarks that a change is necessary.
Outline:
Introduction
The Social Security Crisis
Saving Social Security: Recommendations From Economists
Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to Carson et al, "social security is an ongoing intergenerational transfer mechanism" (page, 161), where the working age population is taxed to support retirees, that is, a pay-as-you-go system. However, America is facing a generational crisis that posits to the demise of the system. The American population is aging and life expectancy is increasing. It is projected that there will be a point where the aging post-employed population will have higher proportions in relation to the younger working population."

Abstract
Soil is an incredibly important resource and maintaining the fertility of our soils is a pressing issue at the forefront of environmental science as we try to feed an expanding global population. Queensland, Australia is one area of the world where soil is being depleted and degraded at an alarming rate. Through an examination of this specific resource management problem, this essay analyzes the concept of impact assessment to develop fair, efficient and effective solutions to this environmental problem.
From the Paper
?The preservation and conservation of the worlds soil is a serious resource management problem. The sustainable use of our soil will be a major challenge for the human species for many years to come. When assessing the impact of any resource management problem and developing feasible solutions to that problem certain factors must be taken into consideration. Examining the fairness, efficiency and effectiveness of a proposed solution is paramount to its potential success. A solution for soil loss that is completely unfair to farmers or ranchers will be rigorously opposed and impossible to implement.?

"The Right to Refuse Life-Saving Medical Treatment for Religious Reasons Under the Law of Australia, Canada, and the United States
This paper will discuss the refusal of life-saving or life-sustaining treatment in the common law countries of Australia, Canada, and the United States. The first part of the paper will briefly introduce some of the main issues in this topic. The second, third, and fourth parts of the paper will discuss these issues under the laws of Australia, Canada, and the United States, respectively. The paper will emphasize the refusal of such treatment based on religious beliefs; however, much of the paper will necessarily be devoted to discussing the more general aspects of this topic. The reason for this is that most of the development of the law in this area has taken place in cases which have not involved religious beliefs. In fact, the cases.."

Saving the Trees and the Logging Industry, 2004.
Examines the environmental conflict over the ancient redwoods on the Californian coastline.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Ancient redwoods grow on land that is owned by Pacific Lumber Company, which was a reputable, responsible lumber company for decades until it changed hands in the 1980?s. The paper explains that Texas financier, Charles Hurwitz, purchased the company and, to pay off his debts, ordered the acceleration of logging in the Headwaters Forest, an area along the Northern California coast of over 6,000 pristine acres of ancient redwoods. These trees are some of the oldest in existence and are the home of many endangered species. This paper discusses the outrage expressed by environmental activists from around the country and many loggers over the rate of deforestation. The paper argues that Pacific Lumber Company has an obligation to retain these ancient trees.
From the Paper
"There is no doubt in my mind that the trees need immediate protection. According to the article, if we wait for some rosy future when we will have responsible business practices and an enlightened people and dedicated public agencies, we will no longer have the redwoods. On the other hand, logging is necessary to build our houses and supply us with wood practices. Taking both sides of the story into consideration is important when determining if the trees and the industry can be saved."
