Abstract
This research proposal examines and analyzes seat belt usage by examining demographic and geographic information to determine if seat belt usage has increased nationwide, and if so, what effect this has had on traffic accidents and fatalities. It explains that research is obtained from other studies that have collected data from observation and surveys. Fieldwork studies are included. Controlled studies have been conducted on a large-scale basis and would be hard to recreate. This paper relies on comprehensive studies that have been conducted nationwide. The primary objectives of the data gathering throughout the course of the study obtains information that can:
? Determine if seat belts indeed save lives
? If there are correlations in some of the demographic data as to seat belt usages
? How successful law enforcement has been in increasing seat belt usage
To date, these studies indicate that there has been an increase in seat belt usage. This paper reviews and summarizes current available data to determine if the hypotheses proposed by this paper have been proven.

"The purpose of this literature research and review is to investigate the work done by previous researchers on the issue of seat belt usage. My objective is to find current and relevant information on seat belt usage and determine if usage has increased; if enforcement efforts have had any effect and what are the results of increased usage. The research will attempt to support previous works that indicate that seat belt usage has contributed to saving lives in traffic accidents. Several large organizations have studied this problem and there is ample significant research to choose from. The majority of research information for this paper will come from the National Center for Statistics and Analysis Center (NCSAC), National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)."

From the Paper
"Seat belts have been around in some countries since the turn of the century, and they have been mandatory in U.S. automobiles since 1964. Seat belts have been proven to save lives in most cases, because they keep the person inside the car and stable. Many people are killed in car accidents because they are thrown from the vehicle, which is often a deadly situation. Two safety experts note, "Most studies suggest that, on balance, wearing seatbelts is a safety precaution for which the benefits to the average individual exceed the costs" (Hakes, and Viscusi). In addition, since traffic fatalities are the main cause of death in America, the use of seat belts can help save more lives quickly and effectively."

Abstract
The paper shows that the dispute over laws requiring seat belt use is not on the basis of safety. Almost everyone agrees that seat belts can prevent injury or death. Rather, opponents point to the issue of personal choice. The paper discusses that how people perceive mandatory seat belt laws also reflect ones attitude and value system that is shaped by their environment, knowledge and experience. This paper reveals how the acceptance of seat belt laws varies across racial, gender and age. Furthermore, this study analyzes how people respond to mandatory seat belts laws based on knowledge and experience. Additionally, of those who favor seat belt laws to what extent is their support.
From the Paper
"There were also some fundamental differences in the way women and men responded the questions. The results of the survey showed that the majority of women support seat belt laws (91%), which is 11% higher than the support indicated by men. The majority of women also favor fines for those who are caught without wearing a seat belt, as two-thirds of the women polled hold this belief. More females than males also believed that if they were stopped for not wearing at seat belt and ticketed, that the ticket would be adequate and well deserved. "

Abstract
This paper relates that, despite the encouraging increase in the use of seat belts, it is clear that many Americans are still choosing not to buckle up, endangering both their lives and the lives of their fellow passengers. The author points out that wearing a seat belt is not the only way to increase traffic safety; reducing speeding, aggressive driving, and stopping drunk-driving also are important factors. The paper explains that stricter laws regarding the use of seat belts have been shown to save lives, but recent attempts to make seat belt compliance a primary offence in some states have stalled.
From the Paper
"The human collision is what many people correctly associate with human damage that occurs during an automobile crash. This occurs when human occupants hit some part of the vehicle. Occupants who are not wearing a seatbelt continue to move at the speed of the car, and hit a part of the vehicle with this force. These "unbelted occupants will slam into the steering wheel, the windshield, or some other part of the vehicle interior".

" Seat Belts on School Buses
Introduction
The United States has an affirmative obligation to ensure the highest levels of education and protection for its children. Unfortunately, the administration's unwillingness to meet this obligation is evident in its consistent failure to make available the financial and other support necessary for schools to provide the education required to adequately prepare our children for the successful administration of the country in the future. Even more unfortunate, however, is the administration's failure to provide the financial and moral backing for a nationwide drive to install seat belts on school buses because this failure threatens the physical safety of our children. Sadly, this failure is merely symptomatic of the country's general failure to dedicate.."

Illegal Drugs Usage in the Military, 2006.
A discussion of the use of drugs in the U.S. military.

»

Abstract
This paper examines drug usage in the United States military and some of the steps the military is taking to combat drugs. The paper explains that drug usage in the military is beginning to rise again and the military is attempting to combat illegal drug usage in a variety of ways. The paper then points out that the military seems to be sending the wrong message by reducing waiting times for drug tests and may be adding to the problem with these new policies. The paper also looks at how the U.S. military continues to pursue illegal drug use among its members by testing before and after enlistment and making it clear that the military has a "zero-tolerance" stand on drug abuse. The paper suggests that many soldiers do not need zero-tolerance, they need help and understanding to break their addiction.
From the Paper
"Drug use in the military is not new. World War II veterans remember taking methamphetamines to stay awake during combat, and marijuana usage was quite common during the Vietnam War. However, today the U.S. military frowns on illegal drug use, and they have taken several steps to make sure that military personnel do not take illegal drugs. Before enlistment, recruits must pass a drug test, and there is random drug testing throughout the military after enlistment. In fact, "the military randomly tests about 10 percent of personnel each month" ("Drug Use"). Unfortunately, there is still an illegal drug problem in the military, and personnel who test positive for drugs can face discharge."

Picasso's Color Usage, 2006.
This paper explores the color themes in the paintings "The Old Guitarist" and "Head" by Pablo Picasso.

Abstract
In this paper, the paintings "The Old Guitarist" and "Head' by Pablo Picasso are examined in this study of color usage in the painter's lifespan. The paper illustrates how the darker, more depressive colors of Picasso's blue period often reveal the monochromatic approach to painting, as the artist struggled with death and economic downturns. However, as the artist grew and matured, the artist began using a wider variety of often challenging color associations. The paper portrays how with the pinks, greens, whites and yellows interacting in "Head," one can see the female gender roles and relationship issues that plagued Picasso's latter life.
From the Paper
"This art study will examine the color thematic within two of Pablo Picasso's works: "Head" (1934) and "The Old Guitarist" (1903). By examining elements of Picasso's "blue period", one can realize how psychological factors represent a dominating color theme of blue in "The Old Guitarist." In contrast to this often dominating blue color value in his earlier works, Picasso evolves over a thirty year period to produce "Head," which has a wider variety of brighter colors used in his latter color themes. In this manner, Picasso's color thematic has a wide range across the color spectrum, which invariably relates to the differing psychological periods of his life. The painting "The Old Guitarist"--painted in 1903--is part of a dark period in the life of Pablo Picasso."

Drug Usage, 2006.
A discussion regarding drug abuse, and its history.

Abstract
This paper takes an in-depth look at the history of the use and abuse of drugs to affect conscious states. According to the paper, drugs, whether alcohol or hallucinogenic drugs such as peyote and opiates, have a long history among human beings. The paper further discusses that although environmental factors certainly play an important role in an individual's vulnerability to drug usage and addiction, recent studies strongly suggest that genetic factors may play a more significant role.
From the Paper
"In 2003, a study involving approximately 20,000 participants found that particular genes can influence personality traits that are linked to unhealthy behavior. In an effort to link human behavior and inheritance, researchers at Oxford University researched data from 46 separate studies, focusing on genes that control chemicals used to transmit signals between brain cells (Von Radowitz 2003). Findings revealed that one version of the human serotonin transporter gene, 5HTT-LPR, was associated with anxious personalities, indicating that "individuals with this gene variant were the sort who find social interaction stressful and may take refuge in substance abuse" (Von Radowitz 2003). Researchers discovered a weaker link between the dopamine D4 receptor and extrovert personality traits, suggesting that such individuals are more likely to smoke tobacco or use drugs due to risk behavior, in other words, they are more inclined to gamble with their health (Von Radowitz 2003)."

Abstract
This paper is a study of how students in elementary schools with widespread computer usage in the classroom exhibit improved motor skills, enhanced mathematical thinking, increased creativity and earn higher scores on tests that involve critical thinking skills and problem solving ability.
From the Paper
"Over the last few years, technology has advanced rapidly and there have been hundreds of published studies investigating its effect on education and indicating the benefit of a variety of technology-rich educational environments for learners. Some of the current literature supports the idea that a variety of technologies can be powerful components in accomplishing educational goals, particularly for elementary school students. Students are able to "develop a broad, deep, and creative understanding of community, culture, economics and international politics, past and present, and acquire the social skills to work across differences and distances" (Riel, 1993) by providing "an array of tools for acquiring information and for thinking and expression [allowing] more children more ways to enter the learning enterprise successfully.

From the Paper
"The appropriation of land development in North Carolina is a regional issue, which is decidedly impacting the environmental balance in the city of Charlotte. One major issue involving this problem is how major corporations and land developers are involved in massive expansions that threaten the environmental sanctity of the area by building on lands vital for ecosystem integrity. These issues revolve around the issues of land usage, long-term economic budgetary allowances, and the need for green building initiatives in the regions of Mecklenburg County. Also, the problem of expansion threatens Charlotte, as it is one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas that are using land at an exponential rate to its environmental capacity."

Usage of Animals in Old English Writing, 2000.
A look at the use and treatment of animals in old English Literature.

Abstract
A discussion of the parallel between the strength of the Christian influence and the treatment of animals in Old English literature, including examples from Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" and Marie de France?s "Lanval and Fables".
From the Paper
"Though the selection of Old English material that has been covered in this course is but a small sample of what is available, the works we have covered are some of the most famous and influential from history, and one can make inferences about all Old English works from this sample. Therefore, judging by these works, taken from the Seventh Edition of the Norton Anthology of English Literature, Volume One, it appears that the more Christianized a work of Old English literature it is, the less reverence or respect is given to animals, when animals are mentioned at all. In fact, the works can be divided into three categories, each of which treats animals in a different manner. The first category is the oldest of this literature, the truly Germanic tales where the Christian God is rarely mentioned and may have actually been added in by the translator. Unfortunately we have only one representative of this group, Beowulf. The second category is made up of works that were not written for a distinctly religious purpose but certainly have Christian undertones. These include Marie de France?s Lanval and Fables, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Chaucer?s The Canterbury Tales. The third category consists of works that were written specifically for religious purposes or by religious people, such as monks or priests. Those referred to here are An Ecclesiastical History of the English People by the Venerable Bede, The Dream of the Rood, and The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle."
