Abstract
This paper discusses how war has been waged for thousands of years, dating back to ancient civilizations like Greece, Macedonia, Hittites, China, the Three Kingdoms etc. The paper reports that through the years, warfare has evolved. With the invention of gunpowder by the Chinese around 300 - 650 AD, and the introduction of smokeless gunpowder in 1886 by Paul Vieille, war has quickly become a means for countries to extend their borders and influence friends and neighbors alike through strong arm tactics. The paper goes on to discuss how there is never any action without consequences but throughout history, leaders have always been more concerned with the outcome of the conflict than with the consequences of their actions.
Outline:
Introduction
CONGO: Africa's First World War
Middle East: War-A way of Life
Conclusion
From the Paper
"War and the Middle East have had an ongoing love affair for centuries now. Dating back from the Ottoman and Persian Empires to modern day Iraq and the Palestinian territories, conflicts on a grand scale have existed there. Today, the focus is on the Palestinian and Israeli conflict and the devastation caused by both sides. With the lack of a modern day military Palestinian militants have adopted a brand of guerilla warfare, with suicide bombers killing themselves, along with innocent Israeli civilians, in the name of Allah. On the other side you have the Israeli military, arguably the best trained military in the world, conducting military campaigns across the border in hopes of destroying the militant infrastructure. This conflict has been going on for years and there seems to be no end in sight. "

Abstract
The author believes that the war should have never been fought, since it was filled with misperceptions on both sides. Argentina was wrong to think that the British would not respond. The British, meanwhile, were naive in assuming that Argentina would not try to grab the Falklands. At the same time this escalating situation was filled with justification. The Argentines were justified in believing that the British would never go to war over the Falklands. The British, meanwhile, were justified in fighting for the territory. This paper examines these two positions.

Justification of the Iraq War, 2004.
An analysis of the justification of the war in Iraq.

Abstract
This paper confesses that so much has already been said about the war in Iraq and the grave error that the United States made by invading Iraq that it seems absurd to even suggest that this war was justified. The paper continues to claim that we must not ignore both sides of the coin. The paper presents a deeper look into some of the reasons Iraq was invaded in order to decide whether the government did the right thing or not.
From the Paper
"David Kay also confirmed that Saddam was a threat to the world because he had blantantly ignored UN regulations on several occasions. The Saddam regime had to be toppled because his dictatorship was becoming more of a liablity for the international community since Saddam simply refsued to abide by the international laws. He was consistently amassing dangerous knowledge about development of sophiticated weapons but refused to report his activities."

The Koran and the Justification for War, 2002.
This paper discusses the Koran, the holy book of the Muslims, that sets forth the basic requirements of Muslim life including spiritual, social and legal codes of conduct, especially those sections that justify war.

Abstract
This paper explains that there is a wide range of interpretation from the moderate Muslims who emphasize the peaceful character of the religion to those who use Islam to support violence. The Koran supports both types. This paper points out that the Koran contains several passages by which the Muslims have been exhorted to fight the unbelievers. The author points out that the Koran is the source of inspiration for the early Muslims, contributed to the remarkable series of Muslim conquests and continues to be the rallying cry of the present day Islamic militants.

The First Revelation
The Early Battles
The Spoils of War and the Hypocrites
Treaties with ?Pagans? and their Aftermath

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Jihad is an Arabic word that has become internationally known in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. To most people ?jihad? means a Muslim holy war that means killing of all non-Muslims, innocent women and children included. The broader meaning of the word ?jihad? is ?struggle.? To the moderate Muslims ?jihad? means the inner struggle that one endures in trying to practice Islam. This point of view by some Muslim scholars propagates that fighting in a war to defend their faith is also called ?jihad? because such a fight is also a ?struggle.? They contend that there are several forms of jihad (struggle) such as the struggle against self-desire, against a tyrant ruler, or even against temptations in life. On the other hand, others?the Islamic militants and opponents of Islam reject the point of view of the moderate Muslims?and believe that ?jihad? is an all-out, no-nonsense, aggressive war. Let us see what the Koran has to say about ?jihad?."

Abstract
This paper begins with a definition of justification, both from the author's point of view and from a scholarly point of view, and then goes on to take a look at the concept of justification as explained by the biblical character, Paul. The paper then describes how one achieves justification and the consequences of justification, as well as how it can be sustained and how it is an ongoing process.
Outline
Definition of Justification
The Basis of Justification
The Means of Justification
The Results of Justification
Permanency
Time Factors
From the Paper
"Some scholars have defined justified by means of translation from the original Hebrew and Greek languages, as the term occurs in the Bible (Agape Press). In Hebrew, "zakah" is translated as being clear, clean or pure. "Tsadeq" is to be just or righteous. In Greek, "dikaioo" is translated as showing a person to be righteous, or to declare righteous, while dikaioma is an ordinance or sentence of acquittal. "Dikaiosis" is a Greek work meaning the act of pronouncing righteous, or again an acquittal. It is interesting to note that none of these terms refer to the act of making a person righteous. Rather, justification as defined above is the act of declaring what is already righteous. Justification then refers to the consequence of Christ's death. Christ's righteousness is used as a substitute for sinful human nature (Romans 4:6-8)."

Abstract
This presents the causes of the Black Death and explains how it was able to spread so far and so quickly. It also discusses the immediate and long-term economic, social and cultural consequences of the Black Death, in late medieval England. The paper shows how the causes, spread and the various consequences of the Black Death were all related to new trends in population. The paper includes an annotated bibliography.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Causes
The Spread of the Black Death
Immediate Consequences of Black Death
Long-term Consequences of Black Death
Conclusion
From the Paper
"At the heart of the Black Death are changes in population trends. Those changing trends such as urbanization, emigration, and new trading structures caused the Black Death. The same trends also caused the conditions which produced many economic, social, and cultural changes. The greatest economic consequence of the Black Death was an improvement in the standard of living. However, villeinage was just as much strengthened. The greatest social consequence was the reduction in population. Out of the Black Death came a new secular culture that was focused on state building (Cohn 738). The entire social and economic history of late medieval England was determined by the Black Death."

From the Paper
"Green plants represent the primary food source for a large portion of the worlds living biota. Many plants reproduce sexually and require pollination agents to ensure genetic diversity and other adaptive advantages through cross-pollination. During the search for nectar, pollen, oil, or mates, pollinators transfer pollen from male anthers to female stigmas and hence perform pollination (Cane, 2001). Due to co-evolution among angiosperms and pollinators, many primary pollinator- plant relationships are highly specific. Therefore the health of ecosystems and agriculture worldwide depends on pollinating services performed by particular pollinators. In recent decades human activates have decimated biodiversity in many different species-rich groups, including invertebrates (Cane, 2001). Declines have been recorded in many groups of pollinators including: insects, bats, birds and mammals. This decline represents less frequent flower visitation, gradual decrease of seed and fruit production, and reproductive losses in additional taxa within the community and could eventually disrupt community function (Cane, 2001)."

Justification in the Christian Religion, 2007.
A comparison of the definition of justification by the Augsburg Confession and the Council of Trent.

Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of justification in the Christian religion. The paper presents a comparison of justification as defined by the Augsburg Confession and the Council of Trent. The paper also discusses the views of Martin Luther with regards to justification and the public opinion of his views. The paper concludes by suggesting that these views are possibly the result of very different worldviews and lie deeply embedded in different religious expectations and understandings.
From the Paper
"The above illustrates the Catholic belief and emphasis on the formal aspects of justification as well as the law and "works". As Canon 4 of the Trent document points out, for the Catholic faith justification must occur through the sacraments, especially the sacrament of baptism. This view is opposed by the spirit of the Augsburg Confession with its view that faith alone is sufficient for justification."

Abstract
The writer of this paper summarizes the book and then addresses a question to the author about the book?s premise. In addition the paper explains why the book is important and what bearing it has on today?s America.
From the paper:
?The author calls the book Blowback because it is a term meaning unintended consequences for some government action. He believes that we are headed for some blowback consequences that will arise from our recent militaristic movement around the world. The book is a challenge to America to rethink our world position and be sure we are sending the message that we want to send. He uses examples such as stationing 35,000 men in the gulf area following the Gulf War and reminds the reader that it caused immediate hatred by the Arabs including Bin Laden.?

Luther vs. Aquinas on Grace and Justification, 2005.
Considers the question of grace and justification, or salvation, in the church according to the theology of both the Catholic Church and Lutheran Protestants.
757 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 26.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper considers the concept of grace and how it leads to justification, or salvation, for Christians, with a focus on the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas in the "Summa Theologica". It then considers the Protestant response to the issue with the "39 Articles" and the "Westminster Confessions".
From the Paper
"The state of grace, for Aquinas, is completely intertwined with justification. He explains this concept by arguing that grace is the consequence of Divine love, from which the sins of man are remitted and he is made worthy of eternal life. It is clearly the position of Aquinas that, without grace, no person can merit eternal life. However, Aquinas takes a position where justification requires more than just the grace of God; it requires faith and a movement of free-will against sin. Specifically, he states that man must move his mind toward God , which in itself involves a shift in man's free will where he is moved away from sin and towards justice."

Justification, 2007.

Abstract
This essay describes Keith Lehrer and Thomas Paxson's understanding of justification as it relates to epistemic knowledge. The paper uses Lehrer and Paxon's article "Knowledge: Undefeated Justified True Belief," as a basis of the explanation. The paper also discusses and explains Laurence Bonjour's criticism of foundationalism.
From the Paper
"Bonjour makes two fundamental criticisms of foundationalism which work together to attack foundationalism. The first problem for foundationalism is a contradiction between accepting both (1) and (2) as a priori claims. Bonjour states that B is "ex hypothesi, and empirical belief, and it is hard to see how a particular empirical belief could be justified on a purely a purely a priori basis." This argument means that the foundationalists can have one of the two premises justified before the use of empirical evidence but not both. Therefore, the foundationalists must rely on empirical knowledge to justify basic beliefs therefore there are no truly basic beliefs."
"The second argument Bonjour makes is that in order for a belief to be justified the subject must have justification, not just in the abstract, but also have cognitive access to the justification employed in support of the belief. The reason for this claim is that a subject could not be held epistemically responsible for a belief if they did not have cognitive access to the justification for holding that belief, because without that access the subject has no reason for thinking said belief to be true."

Abstract
According to the writer, the basic cause of the war between Saddam Hussein's Iraq and the Allied Coalition led by the United States was Iraq's armed seizure of Kuwait in early August 1990. The paper traces the history of this occupation, then discusses the consequences which are explained in the paper as a military triumph by the United States and its allies and the removal of a serious threat to their vital interests.
From the Paper
"A more immediate reason for Iraq's invasion of Kuwait was Iraq's financial situation at the end of the Iran-Iraq war. Iraq had prevailed against Iran largely because of financial assistance from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the other Gulf emirates. According to Hiro, Iraq emerged from the war with foreign debts to non-Arab nations of about $50.5 billion (three times its GDP), plus Gulf loans and credits of another $45 to $55 billion, including a debt to Kuwait of $14 billion. Iraq's ability to repay these debts was hampered by the declining world price of oil. At a series of meetings among the leaders of Arab countries in early 1990, Saddam Hussein demanded relief from this debt burden in form of lower oil production by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait which had exceeded their OPEC production quotas and tens of billions of dollars in cash payments from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the other Gulf states. At the final meeting between Iraq and Kuwait on July 31, 1990, Friedman said he demanded "$10 billion plus some territory and drilling rights." According to Friedman, the August 2, 1990 invasion was the equivalent of "a debtor canceling his debt by robbing the bank.""

Abstract
This paper explains that Deborah Prothrow-Stith and Michaele Weissman?s in ?Deadly Consequences? find that most teenage violence derives from feelings of anger and aggression, which can end in violent death. The paper emphasizes the role of guns, gangs and adolescence itself. The author underscores the books proposal that a public health model similar to the one used to stop smoking be used to better control teenage violence.
From the Paper
"Adolescence is itself a difficult period in the life of a person, and it is filled with many threats and dangers which are only exacerbated in a violent society or social setting. The authors believe that there were numerous releases operating in the past that reduced the amount of anger felt by young people, and, of course, society itself was not so stressful or violent. The authors refer to one young man who found release in sports, though the authors ignore the more general effect sports in America may have on increasing aggression and so increasing violence. The authors note that the dangers in society are even greater for young black males, who consequently are a near-endangered species. The growth in the drug trade has to be cited as a major reason for much of the violence, both because the use of drugs reduces certain inhibitions and increases the possibility of violence and because those in the drug trade are ruthless in pursuing their business."

"The Economic Consequences of the Peace".
This paper reviews "The Economic Consequences of the Peace" by John Maynard Keynes, written in the immediate economic aftermath of World War I.
1,040 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 36.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that "The Economic Consequences of the Peace" is an important text for understanding Keynesian philosophy as viewed in an international, as well as a national perspective and to understand Keynes from the point of view of his early development as a economist. The author points out that these proposals were unique and radical solutions to the conventional assumption that the loser of a war must be economically ravaged in reparation for its ills. The paper relates that Keynes believed that the existence of the "Great War" debts was a menace to financial and political stability everywhere; therefore, the debt must be forgiven, contrary to conventional economic wisdom at this time.
From the Paper
"Another key aspect of later Keynesian theory was the need for maintaining economic infrastructures, rather than breaking them in revenge, and that cash infusions in the short run reap dividends for all in the long run. Keynes always took a long term rather than a short-term view of economic policies. The current policies against Germany only satisfied short-term emotions, but could cause long-term economic destruction of a major power and thus injure the world."
