Abstract
One key reason that the Civil War was fought was to preserve the union of states, as the southern states, one by one, seceded from the United States in order to form the Confederate States of America. This secession, which threatened to destroy the new nation before it had time to fully blossom, began with South Carolina's exit from the union of the United States in 1860. This paper discusses why South Carolina seceded, the effect that this action had on the rest of the southern states, and the role that South Carolina's action played in sparking the Civil War.

From the Paper
"South Carolina's intense desire for freedom from the constraints of the U.S. culminated in the conflict at Fort Sumter, Charleston, on April 12, 1861. Based on previously unsuccessful efforts for South Carolina to gain control of this fort, still under U.S. military control, South Carolina formed a huge army of its own and attacked Fort Sumter, gaining control of it and killing U.S. soldiers in the process. This act of rebellion constituted treason against the U.S., and in response, Abraham Lincoln called up 75,000 troops to squash the confederacy."

Abstract
This paper discusses whether the relatively high level of unemployment in South Carolina is related to the relatively low levels of educational attainment in that state. It analyzes what kind of education South Carolina employers see as important when making hiring decisions. It also looks at whether, from the perspective of the unemployed person, their unemployed status is related to their level of education.

Final Research Report
From the Paper
"This is a very significant study, in that unemployment and associated poverty levels cause human suffering throughout the USA. The National Centre for Children in Poverty reports that nationwide, 17% of American children live in poverty. This represents some 12 million children who will not get a good start in life, in terms of important formative factors such as nutrition and access to resources. This is unacceptable in a country that is as advanced and affluent as the USA. Further, it is self-evident that poverty is frequently linked to unemployment. Thus, any efforts to reduce unemployment can be expected to ultimately lead to the reduction of the number of people living in poverty in the USA. It is proposed that this study is one such effort, as the key to reducing unemployment is to discover its causes, so that they can be effectively addressed."

Abstract
This paper discusses how domestic violence is a problem due to its magnitude and because of its enduring implications. It examines how abuse does not stop with a single generation and how, sometimes, it rises to what must be seen as almost epidemic levels in a community, such as it has in South Carolina in the past few years. It looks at the definition of domestic violence and provides an overview of some of the key statistics involving domestic violence against women, as well as potential solutions to the problem.

Implementation and Evaluation of Results
From the Paper
"Clearly something must be done to improve the chances of women avoiding domestic violence and surviving its potentially lethal affects. Perhaps the most important step that can be taken is to provide more shelters for women seeking to escape violent relationships. One of the hallmarks of violent domestic relationships is that they have become isolated (intentionally by their partners) from their families and friends and even when they decide to make a break from the relationship they often cannot do so because they have no practical means of escape."

Capital Punishment in South Carolina, 2008.

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of the capital punishment statute in South Carolina from 1912. It discusses the debate over the laws and the current situation. The paper also compares the capital punishment laws between the different states and how they have been applied. In addition, the paper examines the arguments against the death penalty and suggests that the death penalty will slowly deteriorate into nothing.
From the Paper
"Basically, there are some people who believe that the death penalty should continue especially if they were victims or relatives of the victims. If the death penalty happens in one or two states only and people see that the murder rate declines when trials are set in those places, the boundaries would definitely change. In other words, if a murder happened in Columbia, South Carolina and the trial was set in Texas since the death penalty exist and all evidence pointed that way and was convicted, sentence to die, and executed; other states may join in to decrease murder rates."

From the Paper
"Any school district would be a place for nurses to begin pushing for a similar program. The reasoning is that if a safer choice attitude was developed just when individuals begin to be sexually active, that would continue in later years and help protect older age groups as well. Included in the lessons was information on the use of condoms. A number of studies have shown that using condoms can prevent other forms of community health risk that result from unprotected sex, including, possibly, genital warts, cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer."

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the problems caused by the high incidence of obesity in the State of South Carolina. The paper describes the health consequences, the ethnic group that suffers most from obesity, the psychological consequences of obesity, and strategies to combat the problem.
From the Paper
"Being overweight isn?t just a cosmetic and lifestyle problem; it is a life and death problem. According to a report by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, reporting on their own weight status by South Carolinians put the state at the top of the national list for population obesity, 10th highest. To achieve that ranking meant that more than half of all South Carolinians are either overweight or obese. While there is no doubt from media reports that this is a national problem, certainly its effects are felt in South Carolina; logically, a state that is more overweight than 40 others will have more economic and medical impact than those 40 others."

Gambling in South Carolina, 2006.
A debate on the legalization of gambling in South Carolina.
2,025 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 5 sources, $ 80.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the nature of the gambling issue in South Carolina by discussing the arguments both for and against legalization. Of course, as will become evident, the arguments against legalization are much more prevalent and vocal than those for it. It mentions powerful religious groups in the state, who use their influence to affect political decisions on the matter.
From the Paper
"Few contemporary social issues in South Carolina are as heatedly debated as whether or not gambling should be legalized in the state. The divide between those who are in favor of it and those who oppose it often revolves around the economic benefits and the morality of the issue. Given the relative economic depression of South Carolina, it may seem surprising to some that the residents of the state wouldn't embrace gambling initiatives that would bring more development and jobs to the area. And yet, the history of gambling in South Carolina has been less than savory for so long that the public cries of immorality carry significant weight in the state. The purpose of this essay is to examine the nature of the gambling issue in South Carolina by discussing the arguments both for and against legalization. Of course, as will become evident, the arguments ..."

Abstract
This paper, using Pennsylvania as a model, demonstrates the differences between state budgeting policies and federal budgeting policies. It shows how the budgeting techniques in the federal government have some major differences, when compared to those in the Pennsylvania State government; these differences include a lack of a separate capital budget, different budget cycles and timelines, and budgetary policy differences.
From the Paper
"The federal government uses only one budget to lay out its financial obligations, whereas Pennsylvania uses two separate budgets. The single operating budget used by the federal government is required to outline federal expenditures from purchases to service contracts. Pennsylvania, however, has one budget that outlines services, entitlements and education expenses, and a different budget to make new purchases on capital improvements. The former is called the General Fund, and the latter is the Capital budget. Pennsylvania uses two budgets because the General Fund is used for purchases and contracts that will take place within that fiscal year, and the Capital budget is used to forecast capital purchases in the next five years. In this manner, Pennsylvania can keep better track of its assets and have a tighter grip on where its money is spent. The biggest advantage to having a separate budget for capital improvements is it allows the possibility of change. When funding is appropriated on the federal level, the department gets its money all at once and builds whatever it needs. For a state, though, a program may be feasible at the time of its announcement, but may have to be restricted due to extenuating circumstances (i.e. September 11th and the economic downfall.) "

Abstract
This paper discusses how the Reagan Administration managed to pass tax cuts in order to cover some of the country's deficit during the 1980's. It looks at the origins of "stagflation" and what Reagan's agenda was. The paper examines the statistics of reduction in government spending and how this was governed by the Administration's policies.
From the Paper
"In the 1970s the economy hit the followers of complacency economics with a severe blow. The 70s began in the middle of a recession and the Vietnam war, and it inherited all of the problems created in the proceeding decade as well as a quasi-war economy. (Sahu, Ronald 1991) Just as the war ended OPEC?s Arab member states declared a kind of economic war on the already inflation plagued U.S. economy by withholding their oil exports. This, coupled with other supply side problems in the U.S. economy ended up creating stagflation, the coupling of economic growth being stagnant while U.S. prices continued to rise. Stagflation made a trade-off between price stability and unemployment seem obsolete. The 1970s ended with the threat of another recession, this was forecasted in 1978 and 1979 but did not actually arrive until 1980, the year Ronald Reagan was elected President."

Analysis of Bush Tax Cuts, 2004.
Analyzes a current article regarding the Bush tax cuts.

Abstract
This paper analyzes a 2003 article regarding the Bush tax cuts and argues that the cuts are in accordance with the principles of John Maynard Keynes. The paper discusses the theory that tax cuts can result in federal deficits that can lead to increased interest rates.
From the Paper
"Monetary and fiscal policy are the two primary mechanisms used to stimulate and slow the economy. Monetary policy uses the availability of money-interest rates for example-to control how much money is available for investment and spending in the market. Fiscal policy on the other hand uses taxation and government spending to accelerate or decelerate the economy. While there can be many different goals for controlling capitalist economies, the overriding goal is to keep a balance between inflation-rising prices-and deflation. Inflation is sometimes described ..."

The Bush Tax Cuts, 2004.
An overview of the Bush tax cuts and their effect on the American economy.

Abstract
This paper introduces and analyzes the topic of the Bush tax cuts. Specifically, it examines the potential effect of the Bush tax cuts on the economy over the next three years. It looks at how the cuts are a controversial measure to boost the nation's economy during a time of economic stagnation and crisis and how, although they began in 2001 and have continued with revisions through 2003, much of their economic effect on the nation's monetary situation will continue for the next three years and beyond.
From the Paper
"While not all of the state and local governments' woes can be blamed on the Bush Tax Cuts, the tax cuts did add to the financial difficulties of the states. They have affected state and local taxpayers with higher taxes on a variety of services, from education to health care and corrections. These higher taxes are often move than any tax cuts received from the Federal Government, and so, the Federal Tax Cuts are negated by the higher state and local taxes. In addition, most states will not see light at the end of the tunnel anytime soon. In fact, states are grappling with many issues in the tax cuts, including the loss of estate tax revenues that will affect states for the next three years, and far beyond."

Abstract
This paper describes and analyzes the characters, plot, themes, and style of writing in select stories from Raymond Carver's "Short Cuts". The paper also describes director Robert Altman's adaptation of the stories in his film version, "Short Cuts," and explains Altman's interpretation of Carver's message is brought to its logical conclusion.
From the Paper
"The stories from the Raymond Carver collection Short Cuts frequently deal with the most elemental problems in human relationships. He chooses to examine people at their most personal and intimate moments. Oftentimes his stories expose the mental and emotional rifts that occur between people that should be able to communicate freely and openly, usually married couples. Many characters in Carver's work live in a state of isolation, despite the fact that they are physically in the presence of family and friends. They live their lives in mental and emotional seclusion; unable to articulate their thoughts and feelings to the people they are supposed to be closest to. His work reflects the isolation and longing for understanding that people everywhere feel intermittently throughout their lives."

Democrats and Tax Cuts, 2002.
A brief essay discussing how the Democrats can tackle Bush's tax cuts and win.
984 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 34.95
»

Abstract
This paper discusses the political dilemma the Democrats are in due to President Bush's tax cuts. It explains that if Democrats are against the tax cuts, it looks bad. If they are for them, they risk, not only the huge deficits, but also a lack of money to fund any of the programs Democrats have historically favored, such as expanding services to the elderly.
From the Paper
"The bad news is not over yet?and it lies in facts Altman didn?t even dump into his frightening, but all too likely, scenario. People are living longer every year, and medical breakthroughs are hardly likely to stop. Olian provides the chilling information that ?life expectancy continues it upward trend from 68 years in 1950, to almost 77 in 2000.? So in addition to paying for the elderly, more substantially than any generation has in the past, the next two generations?current college students and their parents?are likely to pay for the elderly longer than ever before."
