Abstract
This paper explains that there is an extremely high incidence of addiction not only to cannabis but also to cigarette smoking, alcohol abuse, abuse of other substances, gambling and even to food resulting in significant obesity among the Maori youth population in Marewa City, New Zealand. The author points out that the Don't Do Drugs Trust believes that getting kids off drugs should not be the only end result of a program, but rather life skills and introduction to life's rewards should be integral to the program before, during and post-drug use including an innovative way to reach those who relapse. The paper relates in detail the program whose key constituencies are the Maori youth population itself, non-Maori youth, the representative governmental agencies, the local business community, the philanthropic community and the public at large: The program strives to begin to remove the stigma of dependency the public associates with today's Maori lifestyle and replace it with pride that extends beyond the boundaries of Maori culture.

Justification
From the Paper
"There is more than sufficient evidence to suggest that a bold and far-reaching program is needed to arrest the downward slide of the Maori youth population in Marewa City. Our recent survey of drug-prone central street city kids revealed that they were seeking "alternative occupations" to fill the time when they were no longer spending their days making deals and were busy "getting a life" instead. There is also evidence, however, that cannabis, in particular, is not alone in destroying the Maori youth; "social and spiritual poverty is. That's the unanimous message form Maori social, health and youth workers who argue cannabis abuse is just one indicator of a much more profound problem." "

Militarization and the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell Policy", 2005.
Argues that the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in the U.S. military is highly prejudiced and wrong, as well as ineffective.

Abstract
Examines the history and current state of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, which allows military officials to fire service members for revealing their homosexuality. The paper shows how the policy is ineffective and unjust by looking at personal accounts, spending policies of the military, and a wide array of research.
From the Paper
"The exclusion of openly homosexual individuals from military service reveals homophobic undercurrents to society, as well as raises questions about militarism being above the law. During the Clinton administration, President Bill Clinton attempted to overthrow the ban restricting gay and lesbian members from joining the army and allow them to serve openly. However, after "having promised in his campaign to extend this civil right to gays and lesbians, Clinton faced a difficult challenge when he attempted to fulfill his pledge, opposed as he was by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and prominent members of Congress" (Belkin 1). Instead, in 1993 Clinton passed the "National Defense Authorization Act" (Belkin 1), better known as the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Pursue" policy, which allows homosexual people to serve in the army as long as they do not reveal their queer sexual orientation or engage in so-called "homosexual conduct.""

Don't Ask Don't Tell, 2002.
This paper examines the policy adopted by the U.S. military regarding gays - that if they do not openly announce their sexual orientation, they can not be dismissed.
2,054 words (approx. 8.2 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 64.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues for the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy claiming that even though it may be considered an infringement on human rights and freedom of expression, it protects the rights of the rest of the military and opens a loophole for gay men to serve in the armed forces. It discusses how other countries have successfully integrated gay men into their militaries and compares the treatment of other "minority" groups in the military.
From the Paper
"Under the terms of the Don?t Ask, Don?t Tell policy, military personnel are not asked about their sexual orientation and are not discharged because they are gay. However, gays can be discharged if they either acknowledge their homosexuality by word or deed or if they engage in sexual conduct with a member of the same sex. Gay advocates believe that this policy fosters discrimination against gays in the military. While the policy is by no means an ideal, it does represent the best option for the military at this point in time. The military isn?t noted for facilitating rapid policy change, rather it takes place gradually over time. This coupled with strong anti-gay prejudices and the military?s lack of knowledge and resources for coping with the problem make the Don?t Ask, Don?t Tell policy a suitable foundation for facilitating further change in the future."

It Ain?t Standard So it Ain?t No Good, 2002.
A study of the deconstruction of standard English, and a debate on whether or not such a standard is effective.
1,000 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper debates the existence of a standard grammatically correct English language. It describes that English, like all languages, is continually and constantly changing. The author argues that language is constantly changing, because it is as alive and organic as the people speaking it. The paper does establish that written English has a more established set of rules that is taught in academic institutions than the spoken language.
From the Paper
"A debate rages across the worlds of lexicographers, authors, professors and creators of dictionaries alike: what is ?standard English?? The question is, of course, oversimplified. The standardization of any language involves ??a uniformity of orthographic, typographic, grammatical and lexical practices,? and so one might research the subject of language standardization for years to no conclusion specific or accepted enough to answer the posed question (Davis 69). Some have attempted ambiguous conclusions, including linguist Peter Trudgill who said, ?Standard English is that variety of English which is usually used in print, and which is normally taught in schools and to non-native speakers learning the language."

From the Paper
"Financial risk management is an important concept in the field of management. A person with an established business, occupation or source of income can suddenly take ill, resulting in the loss of that income which depended on him to generate. This can be a serious loss for him and others who depend on the income. There are two financial instruments which are available which can continue to provide to him or his dependents financial compensation or income based on his previous investments. For monetary investments which had been paid on regular intervals, there is the instrument of life insurance. For property owned, there is the instrument of trusteeship. [Trusts & trustees 2003]."

Anti-Trust Law, 2002.
An overview of anti-trust law and its application, with a case study of both AT&T and Microsoft.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper begins by describing anti-trust law as any law restricting business practices considered unfair or monopolistic. It provides a history of the law in America's judicial system, covering the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, the Clayton Act of 1914, and the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914. The paper then discusses two key historic anti-trust cases in which the companies have been charged with anti-trust violations, American Telephone and Telegraph (1982) and Microsoft Corporation (1994 and 1998).
From the Paper
"AT&T was a natural monopoly, which needed to be broken up in order to allow others into the market. It was the only service provider at the time and in order to help improve the economy, it was important that changes be made to the status quo. Microsoft on the other hand, may be the dominant player in the world of operating systems, but there are other providers out there. Systems such as Linux and Unix are available for consumers. They may not be as user friendly as the Windows operating system, but there is a choice for the consumer. The question that needs to be asked is this: how is the consumer treated as a result of services being bundled in one package? Is the average consumer getting his money?s worth? Are these services affordable? How efficient is this method of bundling? If the answers to all these questions benefit the customer, then Microsoft and any dominant player in a business, has done well."

Abstract
Although it has been practiced in industry for at least thirty years, drug screening or testing of applicants for jobs or current employees or both continues to raise both constitutional issues and issues of appropriateness in the workplace. The purpose of this paper is to explore the association between drug screening and workplace morale. It examines whether trust levels are affected and whether employees and prospective employees tend to seek alternative employment where drug screening is not performed. A critical literature review examines the opposing viewpoints on drug screening in the workplace. Tables and graphs are included

From the Paper
"Group morale is essentially equivalent to the common notion of "team spirit", or that which makes group members want the organization to succeed. It is reflected in the quality of interpersonal relationships on the job, desire to be present at work with the team, and desire to remain with that organization instead of leaving. In workplaces with low morale, we find workers in personality conflicts, unacceptably high levels of absenteeism, and excessive turnover. Acceptable rates of turnover can vary from company to company; sales organizations, for example, expect a certain amount of "revolving door" activity, as it is in the nature of commission salespeople to seek greener pastures!"

Abstract
The paper explains that trust is a key enabler of cooperative human actions. The writer shows that the intensified studies on trust in many relevant fields, in effect recognize the importance of cooperative behavior to the success of any human endeavor and, consequently, to the success or failure of an organization. The writer describes how it was found that trust leads two other basic mechanisms by which such cooperation can be achieved in human behavior, the other two being power and the market. In conclusion, the writer cites examples where trust of employees has brought about innovation and improved economic efficiency. The writer states that the lack of trust can have adverse consequences.

"When Hong Kong was scheduled to revert back to China on July 1, 1977 under an agreement signed between the British and the Chinese in 1984, there was great concern and fear among the populace of Hong Kong. The handover was announced to the world at least five years before. So during this entire period, the thought uppermost in people's mind was: What will it be like when the People's Liberation Army or the Red Guard, in whose hands the blood of the 1989 massacre in Tiananmen Square was still fresh, cross the border bridge at Lo Wu?"

Abstract
This paper is an illustration of the different aspects and concepts existing in context to the popular perspective on trust. The author looks at trust by analyzing two works by Martin Hollis, "Trust Within Reason" and "The Philosophy of Social Science: An Introduction". The writer investigates generalities and historic interest in the issue of the perspective on trust, trust in relativity to society, complexity and harsh realities in context to trust.
From the Paper
"One of the most wide and diverse scopes of study that the human race has ever set out upon is apparently that regarding the human brain, particularly in regard to the source within humans of emotion, of sentimentalities and feelings such as love, trust, fear and animosity, the reason for this diversity being that no one has, till today, come upon a concise and assertive theory as to the implications of these feelings.
That is to say that, although the feeling meant to be depicted via the emotion is clear but, however, what is not clear is the reason inherent to the implementation in the first place. There has been an increasing interest in the social sciences in recent years in explaining trust."

Personal Trust and Self-Confidence, 2008.
This paper describes a personal experience in which a person, Steve, whom the author trusted, has let him down and how this occurrence affected the author's sense of personal trust and self-confidence.

Abstract
This paper relates that, in terms of self-concept, the author of the paper learned from his altercation with Steve that his self-esteem was directly impacted by the loyalty of others, which he had never sensed before in other similar experiences. The author realizes that he too often makes sweeping generalizations about others, possibly caused by his desire to trust without hesitation, which has led to many instances of disappointment that affected his self-esteem. The paper relates that this epiphany has given him a great deal of personal strength. The author states that, instead of viewing the situation as a new generalization that no one can be trusted, he was able to see that he can always trust himself to get done what needs to be done. The author underscores that, in terms of Steve's behavior, while many people try to follow the social rules around them, some are unable to actually handle the relationships with others thus they inflate their own self-concepts.
From the Paper
"At this point, I had stopped searching for a used car. I had utmost confidence that Steve would come through, despite his recent lapses in communication. Another week passed, and I received no word of my car. I decided to call again. There was no answer. I began to realize that there never actually was an answer--only the answering service. I called and called. I became desperate. School was about to begin and I had no vehicle and no supplemental income. I had been waiting for Steve...but, who was Steve? In the end, Steve did call me back. It was over a month later that I received the call, only to be curtly chastised for my annoying requests."

Abstract
Trusts are viewed as competition destroyers which attempt to control the market for a product. Anti-trust laws arose out of the abuse of such trusts and these laws persevere to this day. This paper questions whether the government's enforcement is executed when the economic climate is right or whether the enforcement is occurring at regular intervals. It also questions whether certain corporations, like Microsoft, are unwitting targets of the government. The overall question in this paper is whether the enforcement of anti-trust laws harms American competition. The response lies in the history of anti-trust laws, the enforcement of such laws and the meaning of competition within economic understanding.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
The History of Anti-trust Laws
The Sherman Anti-Trust Act (1890)
The Clayton Anti-Trust Act (1914)
The Federal Trade Commission Act (1914)
Robinson-Patman Act (1936), Celler-Kefauver Act (1950) and The Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976
Competition
Enforcement
Has the Microsoft Anti-trust Case Helped or Hindered American Competition?
Has the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act Helped or Hindered American Competition?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In 1911, two decades after the Sherman Act was passed, the U.S. Supreme Court found that the Standard Oil Company and the American Tobacco Company exerted unlawful monopolistic authority. This was the first major court decision since the Act was passed. The two mentioned companies were forced to dissolve into smaller firms that would compete against each other. The courts have not been consistent when interpreting the meaning of monopoly power under the Sherman Act either."

Abstract
This paper explains that a trust may be created by (1) transferring property to an individual designated as trustee during the lifetime of the settlor or by will or other disposition to take effect upon the settlor's death, (2) by declaration by the owner of the property that the owner holds identifiable property as trustee or (3) by exercise of a power of appointment in favor of another person as trustee. The author points out that the trust shall act in accordance with the express terms of the trust instrument, act impartially, administer the truth property with reasonable care and skill, maintain complete accounts and records and perform taxpayer duties. The paper stresses that an individual wishing to form a trust should employ a trust attorney to guard that the trust is in the desired form.

Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Requirements for the creation of a trust are not uniform throughout all of the states however; the following elements can be understood to be 'typical' in terms of requirements for the creation of a trust: (a) Consideration: not required although in the absence of consideration there is a question relating to possible transfer of fraud of creditors; (b) Legality: the trust must be created for a lawful purpose; (c) Capacity: The settlor must have the mental capacity to create the trust however; the beneficiary's capacity is immaterial and many times is the primary reason for the creation of the trust; created because the beneficiary is lacking either in the legal or actual capacity needed to manage the property that is assigned to the trust.

Abstract
A critical analysis of the law of trusts relating to secret trusts in "Blackwell v. Blackwell" and the necessary formalities of intention, communication and acceptance and those requisites evident in the Law of Property Act [1929].
From the Paper
"Secret trusts are problematic because in order to prove existence of the trust, evidence that is not in the form, as required by s. 9 Wills Act [1937] must be admitted, but as these cannot be altered, they are clearly inconsistent with the Wills Act [1937]. Secret trusts directly conflict s.9 because a testator is able to make a testamentary disposition without encountering the required formalities at all. In fact, the testator can dispose of the property on death orally by informing the secret trustees. In avoidance of publicity of the will, testators fail to comply with the necessary requisite formalities that are stipulated in s. 9 of the Wills Act [1837].
