Abstract
This paper discusses how, as the 21st century moves forward in America, socioeconomic and demographic trends emerging in the nation pose their own unique challenges. The paper explains that America is faced with an aging population, increasing costs of national defense and social programs, and the ongoing effort to balance the federal budget. With this in mind, the paper reviews the question of whether or not Social Security will be around in thirty years.

From the Paper
"There is also a public welfare dynamic that supports the argument that Social Security will be around in thirty years. Having shown that the American population is aging and will continue to do so, if Social Security is phased out, the welfare of the individuals who rely upon this program for survival comes into question, and someone will have to take care of these deprived individuals (Olsen, 2002). It would be nonsensical to take away Social Security, as the program, for all of its flaws, gives the government the ability to tax wage earners in support of the program. If this tax revenue is stopped, and the government still has to provide for those in need as it surely will do without Social Security in place, an attempt to solve one problem will be replaced with a much larger crisis."

Abstract
This paper discusses why the Thirty Years War lasted as long as it did. It looks at the main themes that contributed to the length of the war, including the changing nature of the war from a religious into a political struggle, the increasing number of combatant nation states leading to 'Total War' in Europe, and the poor infrastructure and supply of resources in Early Modern Europe.
From the Paper
"A multitude of factors made The Thirty Years War lasted as long as it did. The most important aspect to extend the period of the war to the eventual thirty years was the war's altering nature. If it had remained singularly a religious struggle, largely fought in central Europe, it is probable that the Imperial forces would have overcome the Protestant forces quickly and would have successfully instituted the edict of Restitution. However, the intervention of Denmark, Sweden and France was not solely on a religious manifesto; the allure of economic and political growth was important factors in the survival of the Protestant union. Ironically, Protestantism may have only survived because of the self-seeking natures of the nation-states which fought Catholicism between 1618-1648 - extending the war because of economic grounds, the increased number of nations fighting, and the poor logistics and infrastructure in which it was fought."

The Social Security System, 2004.
This paper discusses that Social Security policies discriminate against youth.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that young people are paying more into the Social Security
system than they will probably receive as retirees. The author believes that, even though it is reported that the Social Security system is secure for the next thirty-five years, this may nothing more than ?hogwash?. The author supposes that progressive benefits can more than offset the difference in longevity, so that the claim of some conservatives that young people earn a negative return on their Social Security taxes is wrong.
From the Paper
"Conservatives have continued to criticize Social Security since its enactment in 1935, it, but its popularity has saved it from multi-front attacks. There since have been many attempts to reduce reinforcement among Social Security?s varied constituencies, including youth and minorities. Still others have tried to generate support for changes that will actually weaken the system but claim to strengthen it. One of these methods is the constant move toward privatizing the entire Social Security system. In essence, what many conservatives since the 1970?s, and now Mr. Bush, have tried to do, is to take all of the Social Security funds and put it into the stock market. This program could be disastrous for young people because the volatility of the market could deplete the system by the time the average thirty-year-old will collect his/her fair retirement share."

Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between globalization and security using the state and the individual as units of analysis. It argues that globalization has varying consequences on different actors. The paper challenges the assumption that globalization has a direct impact on state security. It shows that global processes challenge state security in an indirect manner but have direct effects on human security.

Appendix
From the Paper
"Globalization can be seen both as a historical project and as a process that affects social relations of peoples, groups and states.(Bello, 1998) It is conceived as a historical conjuncture of the modernist project (McMichael 1996) that promotes the ideological framework of neoliberalism (Kinvall 2002: 5-6). The principles of free market economics constitute the policy package called the Washington Consensus - trade liberalization, financial deregulation, privatization, and inflation and currency exchange stability policies - which became the cornerstone of structural adjustment policies (SAPs) implemented in many economies. While Latin America and Africa have severely suffered from neoliberal globalization, Asia stands as an exceptional case of successful integration in the global economy (Dittmer 2002). Asia Pacific projected itself to the world as the most dynamic region characterized by growth with equity: rapid and sustained economic growth, equitable distribution of incomes, and dramatic improvements in human welfare (Rigg 2003: Table 1.3: 10; World Bank 1993)."

Abstract
This paper discusses Harry Krashinsky's essay "How Would One Extra Year of High School Impact Academic Performance in University's Evidence from a Unique Policy Change in Ontario, Canada", in which Krashinksky was able to exploite a unique historical event - a double cohort of high school graduates in Ontario in 2003, some with four years of high school and others with five years of high school - to test whether the quantity of education courses enhanced the human capital of graduates or whether it was simply a signal of higher ability.

Database Security.
This paper discusses the goals of security and common security threats, including Microsoft SQL Server security techniques and web application security measures.
2,715 words (approx. 10.9 pages), 18 sources, APA, $ 81.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that database security is the protection of the database against unauthorized access, either intentional or accidental; security countermeasures should combat threats and the outcomes of such threats. The author points out that physical security means that a SQL Server system is running in a controlled-access environment in which only approved personnel have physical access to the system; whereas, appropriate physical security means that SQL Server should be isolated from web infrastructures and direct Internet access. The paper concludes that network and operating system security are not sufficient to defend against dynamic threats to a web application; therefore, database and web application server techniques are a necessity, but even with these extra layers of security in place, there's no such thing as a full-proof security system.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Access control prevents unauthorized persons from accessing a system to either obtain information or make changes. Like most databases, Microsoft SQL Server handles access control by allowing the creation of user accounts and passwords to control log-in. Additionally, Microsoft SQL Server supports the use of Windows NT Integrated Security where users are identified to the database by their Windows NT user accounts rather than user ID and password to access the database. Chapple states that this approach offers both the benefit of shifting the burden of account management to the network administration staff and it provides the ease of a single sign-on to the end user."

Business Security, 2007.
This paper discusses whether a single security director should control both traditional security and information technology security.

Abstract
The paper looks at the difference between physical security and digital/logical security. The paper explains the role of the traditional security director and the difficulties of setting up systems that are not tangible compared to setting up perimeter fences or deploying security guards across the facility. The paper examines arguments for and against a single security director. The paper concludes that the executive management is the sole determining group for whether security should be with two people or just one person. The paper is of the opinion that the current trend of having one person trained in both areas makes good business sense and will ensure a total security posture.
From the Paper
"In the days before the ubiquity of the computers and the Internet, security was confined to physical, personnel, communications and operations of a business enterprise or an infrastructure. The security director is the overall in charge of ensuring that barriers, locks and other mechanical devices are properly used to control access to the facility. Personnel are briefed and lectured on protecting themselves within the corporate premises and when they are out of the office. They are warned about corporate espionage, criminal elements and other nefarious individuals or organizations that can do harm to their persons or the company."

The Social Security System, 2005.
This paper discusses the elderly social security portion of the Social Security System (SSA) in the United States from 1985 to present.

Abstract
This paper demonstrates that the various programs administered by the Social Security Administration have played a vital role in helping the nation's economic well-being since their inception in 1935. The author points out that the fiscal problems being experienced by the Social Security Administration have become more serious because of a growing demand for benefits by a substantially larger proportion of Social Security recipients, who have paid taxes for this compensation, compared to the proportion of the economically active population. The paper stresses that these trends will be exacerbated as the existing "baby boomer" segment of the population begins retiring in the next few years. Many illustrations and tables.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed a committee to provide recommendations on an old-age pension systems and in 1935, Congress passed the Social Security Act that provided old-age benefits to be financed by a payroll tax on employers and employees (employees of railroads were already covered separately under the Railroad Retirement Act of 1934). Since that time, the Social Security Act has been periodically amended, expanding the types of coverage, bringing increasing numbers of workers into the system, and adjusting both taxes and benefits in an attempt to maintain pace with inflation rates. Today, Social Security policy directly affects more than 96 percent of the U.S. work force and their employers every pay period and more than twice as many workers are covered by Social Security as the number of individuals in the United States who own shares in mutual funds."

Egyptian Foreign and Security Paradigms, 2005.
Examines how Egyptian foreign and security policy has evolved in response to contemporary international and domestic pressures, shaped specifically by the events of the last 60 years.

Abstract
Egyptian foreign and security policies in the 21st century continue to fluctuate between the often paradigmatic dilemmas of assuring domestic security while maintaining international prestige and security as well. The paper shows that domestic threats to the perseverance of the current Mubarak regime relate specifically to the growing power of political Islam within Egypt, as well as to the increasing disillusionment of the youth due to economic stagnation. International security dilemmas result specifically from Egypt's relationship with the United States and its calls for democratic reform, and to the growing power of the European Union on the world scene. The paper shows that, in addition, the ever-present threat of Israel galvanizes the Egyptian state, still smarting from its loses in 1967 and 1973.
From the Paper
"Egypt's choice of foreign policy relationships has supported its emphasis upon national and international security through military and economic relationships with the United States and with its Arab neighbors. Ideological considerations of the Cold War period have receded leaving the elite of Egypt to focus upon their relationship with the United States and the Arab world, often to the benefit of a select few (Gad, 175). Egypt's strong relationship to the United States evolved out of an economic incentive to establish a peace treaty with the state of Israel. Although Egyptian-Israeli relations remain apprehensive and distrustful, Egypt has greatly benefited both economically and militarily from the resulting U.S. aid."

Security Costs For Airlines Post 9/11, 2002.
An analysis of the effects of extra security expenditure and security measures on airlines.

Abstract
This paper discusses the rising cost of security and how it is hurting airline business in the United States. The writer describes how the price tag attached with extra security measures is bringing down major airlines that were already facing a dearth of business passengers and rapid cuts in the number of flights after September 11.
From the Paper
"United States government is not only anticipating more terrorist attacks in future, it is also asking its people to pay a huge price for this fear. While the government rightly wants to beef up security in order to protect its people from terrorist activities in future, the people are unfortunately being made to pay for these governmental plans. The price tag attached with extra security measures is bringing down major airlines that were already facing a dearth of business passengers and rapid cuts in number of flights after September 11. It is important to understand that airlines industry along with the rest of travel industry has suffered immensely after September 11 but the reason why it has failed to make a decent recovery is because government is consistently levying security surcharges, which most United States airlines cannot afford.

From the Paper
"The areas in which e-commerce has the potential to grow most in future include the small businesses. According to an October 2002 report from the Small Business Administration, seventy percent of America?s small businesses (defined as those with less than 250 employees) do not have a Web presence. It is obvious that the use of the Internet promotes the growth of e-commerce. In the past, the U.S. led the way in Internet adoption. Present trends indicate that Internet use is now expanding internationally. Countries in Latin America and Asia are angling to compete for business internationally. Hence, future growth in e-commerce would not be confined to the US. American companies can increase the integration of their supply chains to benefit from the international increase of Internet use."

"Introduction
From personal computers in the home used to track checking accounts and keep household inventories in databases to large supercomputers that control space missions and run the world's largest companies, computers have become commonplace. The number of individuals who have access to the information on those computers has increased as the communications industry has undergone a revolution in recent years, and uncontrolled access to information presents a very real threat in most business and some government information. Because of the highly significant role that computers play in modern life, there is a need to keep information on machines secure from tampering, from unauthorized dissemination, and from unauthorized removal. This research examines various threats facing society from inadequate computer security, and the prospect.."
