Abstract
This paper explores what the introduction of the internet can tell us about the relationship between the development of technology and society as a function of one another, in essence. It explores the Internet as a form of social technology and sees how it relates to all levels of society.
From the Paper
"Much like the old clich? about which came first, the chicken or the egg, there are two main theories about whether society is a result of technology or whether technology is the result of society. These two theories are known as Social Determinism and Technological Determinism. Both theories believe that one determines and shapes the other. The only question is which one is dependent upon the other and which one stands alone. These ideas are two extremes, but there are many that adhere to shades of these theories and do not believe that one or the other is absolute. Most theorists do not place much scientific value on them as a determining factor of society and technological advances. These theorists believe that the idea that one is completely dependent upon the other is too simplistic to be valid."

Abstract
Stars and their metaphorical relationship to fate is a major theme in "Romeo and Juliet" by Shakespeare. The paper shows that stars are mentioned throughout the play in various circumstances that are indicative of fate and the foreshadowing of events. It also looks at another theme present throughout the work, that of speed. The speed at which events happen and the fate controlling those events have an enormous impact on the lives of Romeo and Juliet.
From the Paper
"When Romeo meets Juliet at the Capulet's feast, he is only able to spend a very short amount of time with her before Benvolio rushes him away with, "Away, begone; the sport is at the best" (1.5.119). We see the same haste in the nurse's dealing with Juliet. The nurse realizes who Romeo is and discourages Juliet from speaking to him. She urges the girl away saying, "Anon, anon! / Come, let's away; the strangers all are gone" (1.5.143-144). So here the pressing issue of time is affecting the first encounter between Romeo and Juliet. All of their encounters with one another throughout the play will take place in the same rushed manner. This first meeting of the two foreshadows the rest of their time together."

Speed Limit Increase, 2004.
An opinion paper in favor of increasing the speed limit for safety concerns.
1,028 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that highway safety speed limit should be raised to 80 mph on the basis of safety issues alone, including the 85% rule, speed variance as a danger facto,r and the inability of police officers under the artificially low limits to deal with dangerously slow drivers. Additionally, it notes that the low speed limit ?criminalizes? good citizens needlessly
From the Paper
"There has been much debate in recent years over two highway safety issues, drunk driving and aggressive driving. While both of those certainly result in fatalities, there is another highway safety issue that seems to need dusting off; posted highway speed limits. In 1995, the National Maximum Speed Limit (NMSL) was repealed, meaning states were at liberty to set maximum highway speeds above the 55 mph limit that had been imposed, largely as a result of the 1970s gas crisis. Proponents of raising the limit cite real science to support their claim. Opponents of raising it argue that then people would still drive even faster. Unfortunately, the facts to not support the contentions of the opponents of raising the speed limit to 80 mph. It is clear, from the evidence, that the speed limit in many states, including California, should be raised to 80 mph, if for safety reasons alone."

Abstract
The writer notes that the objective of the laboratory describe in the paper is to observe mobile cells and their characteristics. Three distinct samples are viewed: plant cells from an Elodea leaf, a eukaryotic animal cell called Tetrahymena pyriformis, and myofibrils from a rabbit muscle. The writer points out that when movement is detected in the plant and animal cells, it can lead to calculations of speed. Both intracellular and inter-cellular movement is exemplified in the samples. The writer notes that cells are not only observed under natural conditions, but also after biochemical alterations. The effects of these biochemical changes are also noted. The addition of methyl cellulose enables more accurate observation of the animal cells, since it reduces their speed. The writer concludes that when the ATP was added, the decrease in size proved that the myofibrils are responsible for the muscular function and that the muscle is dependant on the myofibrils successfully working together. However, each cluster of myofibrils appeared to be structurally independent, meaning it was not connected to any other cluster.

From the Paper
"The Tetrahymena cells were all similar in size, and were either circular or elliptical in shape. Their nuclei and cytoplasms were clearly seen, but any other organelles were difficult to distinguish. Whether they moved horizontally, vertically or diagonally, linear motion was consistent in all the cells. It also seemed like they each one followed a unique path across the field of view. After adding methyl cellulose to these cells, their movement became significantly slower, and deceleration continued until the cells stopped moving altogether. However, their movement also became random, sporadic and generally unpredictable, since they did not seem to be following any particular path. As well, some cells began moving in a circular motion, as if around an axis, and many cells began to gather in large groups once they stopped moving."

Abstract
This paper deals with the reasons responsible for delay in disposal of cases in Indian courts. Suggestions are given to tackle these problems, and a framework has been suggested to speed up trials at Magistrate Courts.
Introduction
Why the Need for Speedy Disposal of Cases
How Law Has Proceeded to Tackle the Problem
Speedy Trial in Magistrate Courts
Court Management through Board Diary
Classification of Cases
Thanawise Distribution of Cases Amongst Magistrates
Framing of Charge on the Date of Filing of Challan
Conclusion
From the Paper
The problem of delay in the disposal of cases pending in law courts is not a recent phenomenon. It has been with us and has us since a long time. A number of Commissions and Committees have dealt with the problem and given their reports. Although the recommendations, when implemented, have had some effect, the problem has persisted; and of late, it has assumed gigantic proportions. This has subjected our judicial system, as it must, to severe strain. It has also shaken the confidence of the people in the capacity and capability of the courts to redress their grievances and grant adequate and timely relief.

From the Paper
"The Action Hero is a recent version of the Melodramatic Hero developed as an Americanized form of entertainment and based in part on elements derived from the Classical Hero. The Classical Hero is the basic heroic type, characterized by outlandish courage and daring exploits. This hero "larger than life" character who also stands as an archetype of symbolic good. The Classical Hero is also a mythic hero associated with legend. The Action Hero is more human and is involved in situations that are more natural. An example of the Classical Hero can be found in the title character of The Mark of Zorro (1920), while the Action Hero can be found in the main character in Speed (1994).
The two heros show a number of contrasts in their behavior and in their origins.Zorro is a mythic character in the pattern of Robin Hood..."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the mechanization of war, which began tentatively in the 19th century, has been its dominant feature in the 20th and how this mechanization is most obvious and most often thought of, in terms of weapons: machine-gun, aircraft, missiles. It evaluates three campaigns which trace the progress of their fluidity in 20th-century warfare. It looks at how the first, the Battle of France in 1940, tested the German fluid doctrine against the French static doctrine. The second, the Tet Offensive of 1968 in Vietnam, tested the American development of fluid warfare against a doctrine, designed for the special conditions of Vietnam, to move "below the radar" of the industrial warfare system. The third, the Persian Gulf War, tested against the industrial system a new, post-industrial development that accelerated movement to hyperspeed.
From the Paper
"In Hue, "the urban landscape denied the [US and South Vietnamese] their two greatest weapons -- mobility and firepower" (Arnold, p. 78). Attacking with complete tactical surprise, the VC/NVA captured the ancient citadel within two hours. An American (MACV, Military Assistance Command, Vietnam) compound across from the city managed to organize a scratch defense with only five minutes' warning after an initial rocket barrage, and narrowly held out. Once a relief force for the MACV compound arrived, two months of desperate street-by-street fighting followed before the ruined city was retaken (Arnold, pp. 69-84). If in Hue itself the "urban landscape" restricted the tactical mobility of American forces, on a strategic level the effects of mobility were both decisive and all but invisible. No account seems to mention this factor, doubtless because it is so taken for granted as not to be noticed. In the initial hours of the nationwide offensive, with almost every strong point (even Tan Son Nhut airbase), each had to look to its own defense. But once any given strong point had weathered the initial storm, it could dispatch mobile forces to the support of others harder-pressed."

Time Travel, 2005.
This essay discusses the theory of time travel, using references ranging from the science-fiction to the reality of particle acceleration and modern research.
1,425 words (approx. 5.7 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that going back in time to visit historical times in real life may sound like the work of an H.G. Wells novel, but physicists are getting surprisingly closer to actually being able to travel in time, as demonstrated by the theory of relativity, light speed, paradox theories, and the work of modern scientists as they search for the secrets to the 4th dimension. The author points out that Dr. Stephen Hawking's theory and the recent discovery of black holes show the potential for an area where the laws of relativity may not exist. The paper relates that Dr. Ronald Mallett at the University of Connecticut has developed an idea that present-day people can communicate with the past by sending electrical particles through a spiral series of laser beams to accelerate them to the speed of light.

From the Paper
"The Theory of Relativity states that fundamentally our ideas of space and time. We must accept that time if not completely separate from and independent of space, but is combined with it to form an object called space-time. Newton developed laws of motion that until Einstein were not contested. Einstein expanded this law in his special theory of relativity, which states that mass increases as speed approaches the speed of light. We must remember that the more mass we have the larger that mass will become as light speed is reached. The speed of light and time space is closely related. It has been said that light speed is the key to time travel. At this time the theory of relativity limits our ability to move mass at the speed of light, but as I will explain, there are current theories that will allow moving electrical energy in the form of data back in time."

Table of Contents:
Overview of the DICE Model
Business Process Reengineering
Exploring Lewin's Model
Exploring the Speed of Change Model
Theories E and O of Change
The Implications of GE Lightings' IT Strategies relating to Change Management
Success Factors in managing Change Management
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Change management defies platitudes on the one hand, and hard measures on the other. It is a social science at best. For change management to occur, leadership must get behind the goals and objectives, and not just give them lip-service but exemplify the new mentality based on the insights they have. The best practices in change management have more to do with describing and fulfilling a vision first and less about the quantification of the steps made, indeed the baby steps made by many companies in changing. The vision and passion of a strong leader will revolutionize their companies over and above any staid and measured strategy. A leaders' passion for change is critical."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the radar cameras and red light cameras on the road. The paper relates how since the 1990s these technological methods for catching motorists in the act of speeding or running red lights has been touted by advocates as a powerful weapon for improving the safety of the roads. The paper explains, however, that critics call the technology Orwellian and they claim that the cameras have been employed primarily to increase revenue both for individual cities as well as the vendors who provide this technology. This paper researches the general pros and cons of the issue, examining some pertinent legislation.

"The purpose of this paper is to examine the radar cameras and red light cameras. Since the 1990s these technological methods for catching motorists in the act of speeding or running red lights has been touted by advocates as a powerful weapon for improving the safety of the roads. However, critics call the technology Orwellian and claim that the cameras have been employed primarily to increase revenue both for individual cities as well as the vendors who provide this technology. This paper will research the general pros and cons of the issue, examining some pertinent legislation as well as the major claims of both sides of the matter. In the end, however, it is and will be my position that photo radar and red light cameras are effective only at lining the city coffers."

Distance Perception in Driving, 2004.
An analysis of distance perception of vehicle rear lights when driving in foggy conditions.
1,308 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper assesses drivers' depth-perception in vehicle-following circumstances and the connection with the reaction time for applying brakes and their ability to assess the actual distance of their vehicle from the leading vehicle. The paper describes an experiment wherein 50 participants are chosen, 25 male and 25 female. The paper explains that the experiment takes place in foggy weather on a 15 km section of a two-lane highway. The paper contends that it is expected that the drivers will maintain the minimum distance in relation to their speed and the speed of the leading vehicle. Additionally, the drivers are expected to maintain a minimum safe distance so that they can apply brakes in a timely manner. The paper identifies the necessary patterns and methods that can offer substantial information on the subject of depth perception.

"Depth Perception can be defined as "the visual ability to perceive the world in three dimensions. It is a trait common to many higher animals. Depth perception allows the beholder to accurately gauge the distance to an object (The American Heritage Dictionary, 2004)." The study of "Depth perception" has taken a major position in the research studies because majority of the road accidents occur due to inaccurate judgments about the distance of the vehicle in front. Majority of the research studies have utilized the following instruments to evaluate "depth perceptions:" Binocular vision, Motion parallax, Color vision, Perspective, Relative size, Distance fog, Occlusion, Depth from Focus (Cavallo V, Colomb M, Dore J, 2001; Johan W.A.M and Jan Theeuwes Alferdinck 1995 and Van Winsum and Heino 1996)."
