Abstract
A report on the growing crisis in the Middle East due to the lack of substantial water resources. This lack of the necessary fresh water for agriculture and everyday uses has been brought about by a number of factors, the most important of which is the fact that the region now has too great a population to be supported by the ecology of the region. The paper looks at how the water shortage is dealt with in each of the region's individual countries and includes facts and figures relating to water usage and needs in the area.
From the Paper
"Some Middle Eastern nations, like nations in other parts of the globe, are increasingly turning to the use of deep aquifers as a way to supply their people with water, but the long-term consequences of this may prove to be environmental perilous. Moreover, such use of aquifers often (rather than resolving regional and international water conflicts) actually makes them worse, as is the case with the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer, which lies under the national territories of Chad, Egypt, Libya and Sudan."

The General Situation
Turkey vs. Syria and Iraq
Israel vs. Lebanon
Conclusion
From the Paper
"A 1998 conflict over water nearly resulted in war. Syria was upset over a Turkish scheme to build a string of dams cross the Upper Euphrates as part of its South East Anatolia Project, which was depriving Syria of water on which its agriculture so heavily depends. The Syrians complained not only about the quantities released but also the quality. The series of dams built by Turkey upstream on the Euphrates means that the water reaching Syria had been used several times for irrigation, thus increasing salinity and harming crops, as well as causing erosion on the banks since it ran faster after being deprived of silt."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This research proposal examines and analyzes seat belt usage by examining demographic and geographic information to determine if seat belt usage has increased nationwide, and if so, what effect this has had on traffic accidents and fatalities. It explains that research is obtained from other studies that have collected data from observation and surveys. Fieldwork studies are included. Controlled studies have been conducted on a large-scale basis and would be hard to recreate. This paper relies on comprehensive studies that have been conducted nationwide. The primary objectives of the data gathering throughout the course of the study obtains information that can:
? Determine if seat belts indeed save lives
? If there are correlations in some of the demographic data as to seat belt usages
? How successful law enforcement has been in increasing seat belt usage
To date, these studies indicate that there has been an increase in seat belt usage. This paper reviews and summarizes current available data to determine if the hypotheses proposed by this paper have been proven.

From the Paper
"The purpose of this literature research and review is to investigate the work done by previous researchers on the issue of seat belt usage. My objective is to find current and relevant information on seat belt usage and determine if usage has increased; if enforcement efforts have had any effect and what are the results of increased usage. The research will attempt to support previous works that indicate that seat belt usage has contributed to saving lives in traffic accidents. Several large organizations have studied this problem and there is ample significant research to choose from. The majority of research information for this paper will come from the National Center for Statistics and Analysis Center (NCSAC), National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)."

Illegal Drugs Usage in the Military, 2006.
A discussion of the use of drugs in the U.S. military.

Abstract
This paper examines drug usage in the United States military and some of the steps the military is taking to combat drugs. The paper explains that drug usage in the military is beginning to rise again and the military is attempting to combat illegal drug usage in a variety of ways. The paper then points out that the military seems to be sending the wrong message by reducing waiting times for drug tests and may be adding to the problem with these new policies. The paper also looks at how the U.S. military continues to pursue illegal drug use among its members by testing before and after enlistment and making it clear that the military has a "zero-tolerance" stand on drug abuse. The paper suggests that many soldiers do not need zero-tolerance, they need help and understanding to break their addiction.
From the Paper
"Drug use in the military is not new. World War II veterans remember taking methamphetamines to stay awake during combat, and marijuana usage was quite common during the Vietnam War. However, today the U.S. military frowns on illegal drug use, and they have taken several steps to make sure that military personnel do not take illegal drugs. Before enlistment, recruits must pass a drug test, and there is random drug testing throughout the military after enlistment. In fact, "the military randomly tests about 10 percent of personnel each month" ("Drug Use"). Unfortunately, there is still an illegal drug problem in the military, and personnel who test positive for drugs can face discharge."

Abstract
This paper is a study of how students in elementary schools with widespread computer usage in the classroom exhibit improved motor skills, enhanced mathematical thinking, increased creativity and earn higher scores on tests that involve critical thinking skills and problem solving ability.
From the Paper
"Over the last few years, technology has advanced rapidly and there have been hundreds of published studies investigating its effect on education and indicating the benefit of a variety of technology-rich educational environments for learners. Some of the current literature supports the idea that a variety of technologies can be powerful components in accomplishing educational goals, particularly for elementary school students. Students are able to "develop a broad, deep, and creative understanding of community, culture, economics and international politics, past and present, and acquire the social skills to work across differences and distances" (Riel, 1993) by providing "an array of tools for acquiring information and for thinking and expression [allowing] more children more ways to enter the learning enterprise successfully.

Drug Usage, 2006.
A discussion regarding drug abuse, and its history.

Abstract
This paper takes an in-depth look at the history of the use and abuse of drugs to affect conscious states. According to the paper, drugs, whether alcohol or hallucinogenic drugs such as peyote and opiates, have a long history among human beings. The paper further discusses that although environmental factors certainly play an important role in an individual's vulnerability to drug usage and addiction, recent studies strongly suggest that genetic factors may play a more significant role.
From the Paper
"In 2003, a study involving approximately 20,000 participants found that particular genes can influence personality traits that are linked to unhealthy behavior. In an effort to link human behavior and inheritance, researchers at Oxford University researched data from 46 separate studies, focusing on genes that control chemicals used to transmit signals between brain cells (Von Radowitz 2003). Findings revealed that one version of the human serotonin transporter gene, 5HTT-LPR, was associated with anxious personalities, indicating that "individuals with this gene variant were the sort who find social interaction stressful and may take refuge in substance abuse" (Von Radowitz 2003). Researchers discovered a weaker link between the dopamine D4 receptor and extrovert personality traits, suggesting that such individuals are more likely to smoke tobacco or use drugs due to risk behavior, in other words, they are more inclined to gamble with their health (Von Radowitz 2003)."

Picasso's Color Usage, 2006.
This paper explores the color themes in the paintings "The Old Guitarist" and "Head" by Pablo Picasso.

Abstract
In this paper, the paintings "The Old Guitarist" and "Head' by Pablo Picasso are examined in this study of color usage in the painter's lifespan. The paper illustrates how the darker, more depressive colors of Picasso's blue period often reveal the monochromatic approach to painting, as the artist struggled with death and economic downturns. However, as the artist grew and matured, the artist began using a wider variety of often challenging color associations. The paper portrays how with the pinks, greens, whites and yellows interacting in "Head," one can see the female gender roles and relationship issues that plagued Picasso's latter life.
From the Paper
"This art study will examine the color thematic within two of Pablo Picasso's works: "Head" (1934) and "The Old Guitarist" (1903). By examining elements of Picasso's "blue period", one can realize how psychological factors represent a dominating color theme of blue in "The Old Guitarist." In contrast to this often dominating blue color value in his earlier works, Picasso evolves over a thirty year period to produce "Head," which has a wider variety of brighter colors used in his latter color themes. In this manner, Picasso's color thematic has a wide range across the color spectrum, which invariably relates to the differing psychological periods of his life. The painting "The Old Guitarist"--painted in 1903--is part of a dark period in the life of Pablo Picasso."

Usage of Animals in Old English Writing, 2000.
A look at the use and treatment of animals in old English Literature.

Abstract
A discussion of the parallel between the strength of the Christian influence and the treatment of animals in Old English literature, including examples from Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" and Marie de France?s "Lanval and Fables".
From the Paper
"Though the selection of Old English material that has been covered in this course is but a small sample of what is available, the works we have covered are some of the most famous and influential from history, and one can make inferences about all Old English works from this sample. Therefore, judging by these works, taken from the Seventh Edition of the Norton Anthology of English Literature, Volume One, it appears that the more Christianized a work of Old English literature it is, the less reverence or respect is given to animals, when animals are mentioned at all. In fact, the works can be divided into three categories, each of which treats animals in a different manner. The first category is the oldest of this literature, the truly Germanic tales where the Christian God is rarely mentioned and may have actually been added in by the translator. Unfortunately we have only one representative of this group, Beowulf. The second category is made up of works that were not written for a distinctly religious purpose but certainly have Christian undertones. These include Marie de France?s Lanval and Fables, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Chaucer?s The Canterbury Tales. The third category consists of works that were written specifically for religious purposes or by religious people, such as monks or priests. Those referred to here are An Ecclesiastical History of the English People by the Venerable Bede, The Dream of the Rood, and The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle."

Abstract
This paper questions whether it is ethical to use business perks in a personal situation. In particular, the paper discusses a case in which the Speaker of the House of Commons, Michael Martin, utilized for personal use, business orientated air miles. The paper highlights that, in Martin's case, there were specific codes ad rules condemning such use, which made using business air miles for personal use unethical. After much discussion on the issue, the paper concludes that this is a direct case where using air miles for personal use is completely unethical. The paper also highlights that there are many cases, however, in which use of company air miles may be ethical such as in cases where people were not directly told not to do so by their companies.
From the Paper
"However, in the case of the Speaker of the House of Commons, Michael Martin, there were several key factors which his case much different than those previously mentioned. In February 2008, a scandal broke out in regards to his own personal use of business accumulated air miles. According to the article "Pressure Mounts on Speaker Amid Complaints over His Expenses," written by Nicholas Watt, Martin flew his wife and family in business class, using his air miles, knowing that this was condemned by the very organization which financed his initial trips. Particular rules, as outlined by the Members Estimate Committee, state that these air miles should be reinvested into future business travel expenses. This was well known by Martin at the time of his personal use, for he actually sits as chair of this very organization. Along with these allegations, Martin is also being accused of spending around 4,000 pounds to cart around his wife in a private car at the business expense."

Abstract
This paper refers to an article by Wayne Heiser's on the threat that appears to individuals and business interests by way of cyber-technology, in our inability to control access to the Internet with democratic laws. The very important idea is that of privacy which Heiser explains is quite a new privilege and worry, not a basic right. At the same time, anonymous or pseudonymous use of the Internet should continue. It is one of a very few private rights that can be carried over into a new age that is bringing to the 'front' our ideas of free will, privacy, expression and access to information.
