Abstract
This paper focuses on the private lives of American women in the late 19th and early 20th centuries ? as daughters, wives, and mothers. It examines whether their lives meshed or clashed with their participation in the wider public world of education, work and politics. It explains that women in Victorian times and beyond were expected to conform to society's mores, which did not include rights for women. If a woman stepped outside the norm, she did not "fit" in polite society, and she was often ostracized and abandoned by those around her.
From the Paper
"Women in the Victorian age, which lasted from1880 to 1900, were placed on pedestals, as long as they managed to conform to society's dictates about how women should act and dress, took care of their family and their home, and did not make any waves, socially or politically. Women like Susan B. Anthony, who campaigned vocally for women's rights, especially the right to vote, and Ida B. Wells, who campaigned tirelessly for anti-lynching laws, were outside the norm, and suffered because of it. Society ostracized them because they had "masculine thoughts." Anthony was arrested for committing the "sin" of voting in an election, and Wells had to leave her native South and flee to the North to escape persecution and violence because of her stand on black rights. Even Elizabeth Cady Stanton, mentor and dear friend of Anthony, could not convince her own father of the worth of her work for women."

Employees? Private Lives and Employers? Rights, 2004.
A discussion about whether employers should have the right to look into their employees? private lives.
2,014 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 63.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper shows that, while employers have some very valid reasons for checking into the backgrounds and private lives of employees, there is a point where employers just get nosy. It is these kinds of inquisitions that most people object to. This paper hypothesizes that most employees or prospective employees will not object to having basic information about them checked out, but employers that actively spy on their employees during their off hours go too far.
From the Paper
"It was with this concern in mind that many employers began to take more of an interest in their employees? private lives. It was not so much an interest in them as people, but rather an interest in whether they were going to cause problems for the company at some later date because they had some habit or hang-up that many people would find morally objectionable. The interest in what employees did during their time away from the company became a subject of concern simply because employers became worried about getting into problems by being associated with a certain kind of person."

"Patience and Power: Women?s Lives in a Moroccan Village", 2002.
The paper provides a book review of Susan Schaefer Davis' 1985 work

Abstract
The paper examines how the authoress looks beyond traditional economic analysis and succeeds in showing how Moroccan women wield power in the informal economy and the private sphere. The paper discusses the woman's lack of identity and need to protect her honor, using examples from the book to clarify points. The paper also looks at the types of socially acceptable work Moroccan women were allowed to carry out.
From the Paper
"Like many societies, there were strict social rules in place regarding the status and roles of women in Sidi Embarek in the early 1980s. Women clearly did not enjoy as much freedom as men. The women could not hold public office and were expected to fulfill domestic and household chores. In many ways, the women in Sidi Embarek are akin to property. Their identities are always subsumed with the menfolk, making them someone?s wife or daughter. For example, sons were expected to care for their elderly parents. When married, a woman ?belongs? to her husband?s family and is expected to take care of her in-laws. For this reason, Davis says that sons were often valued over daughters."

From the Paper
" Biography is an art rather than a science, and it is influenced by the attitudes of the historian writing the biography, the limits of his or her knowledge of the subject, the evidence that has been amassed, and often by political considerations which might shape how a figure is depicted. Different pictures of a figure can emerge from different biographies for these and other reasons. Two biographies of Julius Caesar from the classical era show different views of the Roman leader, that of Plutarch in his Lives and of Suetonius in The Lives of the Twelve Caesars.
In the Roman era, much of Greek literature and culture was either adopted or held up as an example even though the Romans had a different worldview in many ways. The gods of Greece were carried over into the Roman pantheon, though the names and some.."

From the Paper
"Work and sweat produces conveniences so that men can do more, it is true. These conveniences do just as much good as they were intended to do. For example, helps men to feed their families. Farming does not always yield enough money for food so that all men can eat. Thus, these men must work in industrialized society so that they can have meals on their table. The fathers must work in the railroad so that their children can eat. No one can argue against that point. The conveniences also allow men to visit family and friends so that they may spend quality time with them. Instead of it taking years and years to have enough time to spend from the crops and household chores in order to make trips by foot or horse, man can visit as often as they wish because it takes less time to make such trips. Also, thanks to the train, entire families can go and can just as quickly return. Dangers associated with traveling across the wild and reckless land are almost removed. "

»

Abstract
Thich Nhat Hanh, author of the bestselling book, "Living Buddha, Living Christ", witnessed the persecution of Buddhists under the Catholic governments of South Vietnam and was also befriended by Christian leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Thomas Merton. This paper presents a report on his book in which he attempts to make clear the conjunction of beliefs between the religions of Christianity and Buddhism.
From the Paper
"Thich Nhat Hanh's ultimate message in this book is that true faith is living faith. If people do not practice their faith in their everyday lives, their faith is reduced to an inactive mental concept. The connections between Christianity and Buddhism are not as important as are the similar usages of things like the Holy Spirit and mindfulness. The idea Hanh puts forth is that both Buddhism and Christianity utilize concepts to reach the ultimate goal."

Abstract
Gender differences in interpersonal communication has been studied in the contexts of power and social roles. This essay considers the kinds of speech that take place in interpersonal communication where public and private conversations are compared. Two different research studies are examined for understanding how public and private speech can be studied in research settings and for establishing a difference in the experiences of public and private conversations. Gender and power play a substantial role in determining the experiences of interpersonal communication, where women are subordinated in both public and private contexts of speaking. The difference is in the awareness of the role being played in conversations, where women are less aware of their role in public speech and more aware of their role in private speech.

Abstract
This paper serves as a proposal for the study of research findings on questions relating to the overall quality of public schools and private schools in America. The author has devised a research study,which is to include the collection of data from a broad spectrum of relevant sources, such as current students of public and private schools, parents and guardians of students in public and private schools, teachers and administrators from public and private schools, graduates and alumni from public and private schools, and finally the general public. The questions the research study is to focus on are: (1) Which type of school is perceived as providing the highest quality education to students? (2) Which type of school is perceived as being the best value? (3) How should public and private schools co-exist and function within our society? and (4) Which subsets of the population (current students, former students, parents of students, school staff, and others) hold which opinions? This paper is divided into three chapters. The first chapter summarizes the purpose of the research study and defines public and private education. The second chapter is a literature review, detailing previous research and then suggesting that this body of work is insufficient to fully address the question of public vs. private education. The third chapter presents the methodology of the author's study, including how the population sample is to be chosen, what questions are to be asked of that sample population, and how the results of this survey are to be calculated.

From the Paper
"As this first chapter has demonstrated, there is a great deal of research that must be conducted in the area of school and education. The current educational system is divided into two major subsections: private schools and public schools. Public schools are funded by taxes and regulated by the government, while private schools are independently run and funded, with different laws and regulations for each of them in every school district and state. However, it is obvious that both of these types of schools are still experiencing difficulties and have not become ideal institutions as of yet. There are many social factors which are affecting and being affected by the state of the schools, and it is important for the future of youth and society as a whole that the educational system be properly evaluated so that improvements can be made. Public schools and private schools both demonstrate some positive traits as well as some negative. In order to get a complete image of the current state of public and private schools, the opinions, experiences, and suggestions of all related populations must be taken into consideration; current students of public and private schools, former students of public and private schools, parents of students of public and private schools, staff of public and private schools, and people who do not attend, work at, or have children in school all must have input into a complete survey of the school situation."

From the Paper
"Historically, private contractors and others provided transportation and engineering needs as early as the American Revolution. In 1798 Congress passed legislation that served as guidelines for procurements of the military and the contracts were won through a bidding process with restrictions. New technologies created a demand for the private military companies as time went on. Kidwell states that: "Two overarching themes currently characterize the military management field - the process of rationalization and cyclical patterns of readiness. Rationalization refers to centralized planning (generally at a high DOD level) and systematic application of business management techniques." (nd) Cyclical patterns of readiness, according to Kidwell, refers to "the tendency- first noted by Emory Upton in the 19th century - of the US to demobilize and deemphasize military expenditures and modernization until the next conflict begins and the demand for military power is immediate. Upton referred to this phenomenon as 'chronic unpreparedness although the process more closely resembles a continuing cycle." (nd) The PMCs offer a "full range of provider, consultant, and support functions in OIF and OEF." (Kidwell, nd) DynCorp is a service company operating in 15 different industries. "

Private Practice Lawyers, 2004.
A discussion of the importance of honest private practice lawyers.

Abstract
This paper contends that because of the few lawyers that have not lived up to their responsibilities, private practice lawyers are considered by many to be dishonest. It discusses the importance of private practice lawyers being able to bring justice to people who have been wrongly accused and whose constitutional rights have been violated.
From the Paper
"The first step to becoming a lawyer is receiving an education. Receiving a good education is a vital key to the success of lawyers. After receiving a Bachelors degree in a certain major, students must then go to law school which usually takes about 3 years of full time classes to complete. After graduating from law school and passing the American Bar Associations approved Bar exam, the student is free to practice law. The average salary for recent graduates who go into private practice ranges from $40,000 to about $120,000 per year (Thompson 67-73). But because recent grads must usually relocated to a different area, pay off student loans, and acquire a professional wardrobe; many of them struggle to make ends meet the first couple of years after graduating. Due to these expenses, many law students are drawn to private practice, because of the opportunity to make large amounts of money."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"As per the FDI Confidence Index Survey conducted by A.T. Kearney in the year 2004, corporate investors now see macroeconomic and political risks as less threatening and perceive greater profit opportunities and reduced risk in the world's leading emerging markets. A fundamental shift in the outlook and perception is underway. At the turn of the century, the world is caught in powerful crosscurrents and many of the predominant trends manifest themselves in seemingly contradictory ways. For example, never before in human history has so much wealth been created so fast. Never before in human history have so many had it so good in terms of housing, food, comfort or use of new technologies. Today even in low-income countries large number of people have access to television, running water, electricity, healthy nourishment, vaccines and are better off than the middle-class of a century ago. Wealth is increasing -but so is inequality. Economic growth is rapid but poverty is persistent and misery endemic."

This paper discusses the private security industry post 9/11.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the need for private security in critical infrastructure areas, such as nuclear power plants, water supplies, military bases and other areas essential to the nation's health and security, has increased. The author points out that private security has decrease for businesses because of the private guard's lack of authority, decrease concern post 9/11 and the economy slump after the attacks reduced the number of businesses. The paper concludes that the private security industry can never fully replace traditional policing because private security guards do not have the policing powers of traditional police persons and are not effective in many situations.
From the Paper
"The one area where security has grown after the terrorist attacks is in the number of airport screeners. However, since these screeners are no longer privatized but are government employees, they may have actually negatively impacted the growth of private security when the jobs were taken over by the government. Parfomak notes, "The TSA has subsequently reduced the screening work force to 44,000 workers, although this number of screeners is still 57% higher than in 2001.""

Abstract
In this article, the writer introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of film and reality. Specifically, the paper compares the film "Saving Private Ryan" to the real events that inspired the story. The writer notes that many people might not know that Stephen Spielberg's film "Saving Private Ryan" is based at least in part on a real occurrence during World War II. The writer points out that the actual man rescued was Sergeant Frederick "Fritz" Niland, a member of the 101st Airborne and one of four brothers fighting during World War II. The writer discusses that "Saving Private Ryan" is a consummate war film that graphically points out the horror and brutality that is war. The writer also notes that it is a loving tribute to family and how important family is to the fabric of America. In addition, the writer claims that it is a story of courage - courageous men who fight for what is right and the rights of others to keep the world free. The writer concludes that living to tell the story is a great gift, and perhaps the greatest gift Fritz Niland gave to the world after his story became public.
From the Paper
"The premise for the story is pure fairy tale, and yet the graphic depictions of war make it one of the most historically accurate and difficult war films to view without wincing. It shows the senseless slaughter and destruction, and is not a film any viewer can soon forget. Therefore, while most of the situations and the characters are all fiction, there is much in the film that is real, frightening, and memorable. Spielberg knows how to tell a story masterfully, and he knew a good story when he found one. The real story of Fritz might not be the stuff of films, so Spielberg took real events and wove his own version of events around them to create something important and meaningful."

Outline:
Objective
Aspects of Cybercrime Relating to Law Enforcement and Private Security
Integration Requires Standards
Immediate Purchase of Tech Tools Not Necessary
Various Technologies Exist
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Imagine, if you will, for a moment that a disaster occurred in a town very familiar, a community, whether urban or rural, where in past local occurrences each agency went about its appointed duty without interrupting one another, and this has traditionally been the case in the United States. Then suddenly a disaster such as Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans occurs and the new agencies developed by Homeland Security come into the area and communication channels get crossed with tasks being duplicated and others being left undone, neglected perhaps. Strategies that can be shared, integrated and coordination through use of technological tools offer the possibility for unprecedented coordination among law-enforcement, private security and public service providers in the event of such a catastrophe or disaster."
