Abstract
This paper examines approaches to communication between parents and teenagers according to what is referred to as "Win-Win Negotiation", a term that connects to several bodies of research which gained great prevalence in various fields of the Applied social sciences through the 1980s. As a set of methods to be promoted within the family, the model represents a departure from past ideals of parent-teenager interaction, in a break from both the authoritarian approaches of old and their more lenient counterparts. The former has insisted that the teenager is a person negotiating the difficult years of adolescence and who therefore requires strong and externally-exerted direction from his or her parents; such movements as Tough-Love may be associated with the approach's general trend.

"In the first act, we meet Martin Vanderhof's family. The play talks about the different things they do that make them happy. Grandpa left his business 35 years ago, and began to collect snakes as he decided to relax and live life. For fun, he also attends commencement ceremonies at a local university. Penelope Sycamore, or Penny, is Alice's mother and Grandpa Vanderhof''s daughter. Penny writes plays, but she has also felt the creative bug as an artist. Her husband, Paul, is interested in rockets and spends quite some time puttering in the basement with a friend of the family, Mr. DePinna, who came to deliver ice one day eight years before, and became an adopted part of the family. Paul and Mr. DePinna make rockets for any occasion fireworks are wanted. Penny had worked on a painting of Mr. DePinna as a Roman discus thrower, possibly accepting a role, as Penny's model, was how he became part of the craziness of the family."

Abstract
The paper examines the article "Winning the "War on Terrorism"; The Need for a Fundamentally Different Strategy" that is a detailed analysis of the counterproductive nature of the current state of international counter-terrorism. The paper explains Cordesman's assertion that the struggle against terrorism is not military or secular, but is a war that must be fought from within Islam at an ideological level. The paper notes that this work is limited since it presents logical findings of just one expert on the subject.
From the Paper
"Cordesman's article is a detailed analysis of the counterproductive nature of the current state of international counterterrorism. The work stresses that the current aggressive actions of the West coupled with the inaction of the Middle East create a counterproductive strategy that intensifies terrorism, rather than reducing it. The first point made by Cordesman is that the West identifies terrorism as a global situation, while in reality there are several smaller regional situations, that have little international effect and that any kind of terrorism that can be correctly labeled as global, in its effect is that that is spurned on by Islamist extremism, which he even more specifically identifies as neo-Salafi Sunni Islamist extremism."

Abstract
This paper discusses and reviews Valerie Wiener's book, "Winning the War Against Gangs: A Guide for Teens, Families, and Communities." The paper discusses Wiener's points and the ways that she presents her points in the book. It discusses the positive and negative aspects of her arguments and the presentation of her points and concludes that the problem of gangs need a better guide.
From the Paper
"Gangs have serious drawbacks. Gangs often require brutal initiation rituals. They often involve young people in crime. They are pushing youngsters into violence. To a young person who feels that he (or she) has nothing and has no place in the world, however, a gang is often attractive compared to the alternative, nihilistic emptiness. Wiener does not yet have the compelling answers that she would like to provide. The teens, families, and communities seeking to deal with the problem of gangs need a better guide."

Winning the West: The Army in the Indian Wars, 1865-1890, 2001.
A look at the U.S. army's military tactics after the Civil War.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper covers the US Army's operations in the period following the Civil War. The writer shows that unlike previous struggles with the Indians, this time there was nowhere for the Indians to withdraw to and so battles took place for a period of 25 years between the white Army and the native Indians.
From the Paper
"The reading begins by giving detail of both the setting and the challenge. Background to the conflict is given, where we see that the Army forces are not great in number, "the military assets released from other tasks were lost through reductions in force instead of being diverted to frontier defense" (301). We see that this war was not considered as a war like the Civil War had been by both congress and the population. Overall, there is a feeling that everyone has had enough of war, with there also being support for settling the conflict with the Indians without military means. Even so, the Army were called in to war with the Indians, though at much lower numbers and also with "high rates of sickness and desertion" (301). The distances which the Army covered also meant that it was organized into geographical segments. "

Technology Wins Wars, 2007.
This paper asserts that it is technology that wins wars.
1,149 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 18 sources, APA, $ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that appropriate technology used properly wins wars. The writer uses different examples to show that, whether taken battle by battle or over the course of a campaign or an entire war, winners employed appropriate technology properly, and that made the difference. The writer points out that examples from World War II and the Vietnam War clearly show that the effective use of appropriate technology does win wars, while the reverse has the opposite effect. The writer also shows over all that the strategic use of superior technology is ultimately the deciding factor in winning wars. However, in the case of Vietnam, the wrong technology was used improperly and resulted in a mess from which the U.S. still bears the scars.
From the Paper
"World War II covered a huge geographical area, from Great Britain to the South Pacific, including Europe, Asia, parts of the Middle East, Africa and small portions of North America. Over the course of the war advances in military technology were employed as fast as they could be developed. Adolph Hitler had planned this war for a long time and, for some time, the German U-boats rules the seas and their fighters and bombers devastated their enemies from the air. This easily explains why the Germans started off a step ahead. America tried steadfastly to stay out of the conflict, having adopted an isolationist view, but were drawn in when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. This devastated the U.S. Navy, nearly destroying the Seventh Fleet, but the citizens pitched in and rebuilt faster than anyone imagined could be done."

"How to Win Friends and Influence People", 2002.
An analysis of Dale Carnegie's 1936 book "How to Win Friends and Influence People".

Abstract
The paper assesses Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" which was first published in 1936. The author of the paper shows that although it may be hard to imagine that a book written so many years ago is still relevant today, it's clear why this book has stood the test of time: The basic, down-to-earth techniques for dealing with people (for example, "Don't criticize, condemn or complain"; "Give honest and sincere appreciation") still work today. The paper shows how Carnegie shows he has a true understanding of human nature, how to make people like you, and how to deal with them so you can be an effective leader and that those types of skills are never outdated.
From the Paper
"In some parts of the book it's very obvious that it was written many years ago. Some of the stories Carnegie tells to illustrate his points seem a bit outdated, and I'm not sure the things he said would work today, although the basic idea is still valid. For instance, Chapter 6 is "How to Make People Like You Instantly." In this chapter he tells the story of going to the post office and wanting to say something to the postal clerk that will make the clerk like him. Because the clerk seems to have a very tedious job, as well as one that doesn't seem to require specialized skills, Carnegie chooses not to build up the clerk by commenting on how well he does his job. Instead, he tells the clerk, "I certainly wish I had your head of hair." In today's society, that sort of comment might be misconstrued and taken the wrong way. "

Abstract
This paper explains that education is a valuable thing, but not everyone is cut out for the academic world; these people tend to grind more than glide and need a little "greasing of the wheels" to allow their educational years to go more smoothly. The author points out that flattery is needed to win your "A" because everyone loves to hear how wonderful they are, and teachers are no exception. The paper recommends that students allow their imaginations to run freely to expand this guideline beyond flattery, bribery, and general over-the-top behavior to create their own perfect semester and educational experience.
From the Paper
"Step one to warming up a teacher begins, of course, on the first day of class. Do not make the classic mistake of showing up to class with an apple or any other form of fruit. This is a myth created by vindictive fifth-graders. Teachers do not want fruit. Teachers, as we all know, are grossly underpaid. Teachers want jewelry. Show up on the first day of class with a diamond necklace, a tennis bracelet, or a brooch. If your teacher happens to be male, no matter. A well-timed gift of expensive jewelry will surely get him out of the doghouse with his wife at some point, and he will be sure to remember you on his next anniversary."

Abstract
This undergraduate paper is an examination of the argument over regulation of the Internet. On one hand, there is the point of view that the Internet is a breeding ground for criminal and immoral behavior. On the other, there is the argument that controls would be the same as a limitation of free speech. The paper concludes that, ultimately, controls will be placed upon the Internet and that, hopefully, they will be rational and well thought out.

"Church Growth" ( Peter Wagner, Win Arn and Elmer Towns ), 1995.

From the Paper
"Among the leaders of the modern Church Growth Movement, the writings of C. Peter Wagner, Win Arn, and Elmer Towns exemplify the dynamic activity of the Holy Spirit as it empowers Christian churches of all denominations to broaden their horizons well beyond the status quo of merely maintaining a fixed quantity of members by replacing those who die, fall away, or move to other communities. While desperately needed in many churches across America today, the church growth movement espoused by these men (and many others) may offend a significant number of evangelical churches and ministers because it challenges them to move from their comfortable surroundings and pulpits and actively pursue strategies which are designed to make the church house burst at the seams with overflowing membership and attendance. A scary ..."

Abstract
This paper examines the strengths of Soviet organization, as well as the weakness of the Whites, who were backed by western intervention. The paper looks at measures taken, such as ?War Communism? used to supply food to the army and the ruthless structure of communist forces, which lead to the Bolshevik victory in the Russian Civil War.
From the Paper
"In 1917 Lenin and the Bolsheviks, known as the Communists or Reds, had seized control over Petrograd and Moscow quite easily. However, they controlled only part of Russia and many groups opposed them. Could they hang on to power? The Mensheviks, Social Revolutionaries and supporters of the Tsar said they had no right to rule. Collectively, these opponents became known as the Whites. The Whites were opposed to the Reds for two main reasons: they seized the land, property and factories of the well off and they attacked religious beliefs. By the end of 1918 civil war had broken out in Russia between the Whites and the Reds. The Whites were supported from abroad by the Allies; Britain, France, the USA and Japan. The Allies opposed Lenin in retaliation for his Brest-Litovsk peace treaty with Germany in March 1918. They had also lost capital and property as the Reds refused to repay loans which had been made to the Tsar's government, and had nationalised foreign owned businesses' in Russia without compensation. Yet, despite a large number of anti-Bolshevik groups within Russia, who were backed by the most powerful countries in the world, the Bolsheviks did eventually win the Russian Civil War. But why?"

From the Paper
"After twenty years and more than 3 million copies sold, Born to Win proves that Transactional Analysis theory holds wide appeal for the American public attempting to decode and improve their interpersonal skills. Born to Win offers an overview of Transactional Analysis (16), emphasizes that the human spirit thrives in the midst of nurturing and positive attention (44), and suggests that everyone can become a winner (1) if they first begin by embracing authenticity (2). Transactional Analysis establishes as its ultimate goal the achievement of autonomy (263). According to Berne and his followers, one can achieve mastery over one's self and others by learning to identify those parts of one's self which operate ineffectively by producing conflict inside and outside the self."

"American author John Steinbeck was born in Salinas, California, on February 27, 1902 and died on December 20, 1968. He was "known especially for realistic, compassionate novels of lowly people" (Bridgwater 1282). He was married three time and had two sons. In 1962, he was the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962.
Steinbeck graduated from Salinas High School in 1919, intermittently attended Stanford as an English major and left before achieving a degree. As a young man, he worked as a fruit picker and a ranch hand. Pursuing a writing career, he moved to New York City, and worked for the American newspaper. He was unable, however, to get his creative writing published, and returned to California. In 1929 his first work, Cup of Gold, was published but poorly received, as were his next two novels..."
