Abstract
This paper discusses how, although their numbers are still disappointingly small, military women now serve with distinction in every service. It examines how women are still prohibited from direct combat and how this factor, more than any other, leaves women at a distinct disadvantage in military service, particularly in the U.S. Marine Corps. It shows how hostility and backward attitudes toward pregnancy also impede the integration of women in the Marines. It evaluates how, as the requirement for physical strength and skills has lessened as technology has modernized combat, studies show that women with correct training could perform traditional male duties in the military. It also shows how discontinuance of segregationist policies in training and work might help reduce the degree of discrimination and sexual harassment to which women are currently subjected.
From the Paper
"The Marine Corps has the smallest percentage of women largely because a higher proportion of Marines than members of the other services are serving in combat roles. Presently, ninety-two percent of all military specialties in the armed forces are open to women. Positions closed to women are in areas of direct combat which is defined as a position well forward on the battlefield where there is a high probably of physical combat. Thus, women are excluded from the infantry and Special Forces, two areas that offer higher pay and the greatest opportunity for rapid advancement. In addition, there have been recent moves to ban women from the new reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition teams."

Abstract
The paper shows how the Marine Corps was formed as a compliment to the naval forces. While the navy fought at sea it still required some link to the land, which became essential for the naval operation success. Thus in 1798 the US Marine Corp was officially launched. The author of the paper analyzes the Marine Corps, provides a critique and concludes that finally the Navy saw a need to develop its own troops to extend to the ground level.
From the Paper
"Through an analysis of the historical military operations and the strategy employed through the focus on sea warfare there was an obvious centralization of control. The military operations were conducted either in the seas or on land. There was remote chance of the two coordinating in their maneuvers. With time this changed and the mission became more critical. The philosophy of war changed, as did its implementation. The heart of the naval capabilities in the operating environment saw a difficulty that could only be solved through innovation. The Marines were that very innovation arising through the ideology of being able to precisely engage the enemy."

Semiotics and the American Marine Corps, 2005.
An analysis of the marine motto "The Few, The Proud, The Marines".

Abstract
The following paper examines the semiotic messages being delivered by the American Marine Corps' "The Few, The Proud, The Marines". The paper argues that the Corps cleverly appeals to people's inward desire to be something more than themselves - and their equally potent desire to serve a great cause. More than that, the paper argues that the phrase appeals to notions of American exceptionalism.
From the Paper
"It is entirely possible that no government slogan is more freighted with meaning and connotation than the hallowed Marine slogan, "The Few, The Proud, The Marines". The following paper will examine what this slogan means and what it is saying about American culture by employing a semiotic analysis of the expression. Ultimately, what should emerge is an appreciation and understanding that the aforementioned expression taps into a popular deep-seated yearning to be one part of an elite unit readily distinguished from other groups in society; no less importantly, the popular slogan taps into equally popular notions of American exceptionalism. With that in mind, it is to a discussion of the American marines' inimitable slogan that this paper now turns. Simply put, semiotics is the study of signs - both individually and as they are grouped in "sign systems" - and how metaphorically-laden meaning is transmitted and understood through the use of signs."

From the Paper
"Steven Buechler presents a comprehensive analysis of the role of organizations in advancing the cause of the woman suffrage movement (1866 - 1920) and the modern women?s movement. While the early movement was primarily a struggle to gain the right to vote, the contemporary movement has focused on equal rights in every sphere of life. Although large and prominent women?s national organizations such as the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) in the suffrage movement and the National Organization for Women (NOW) in the contemporary women?s movement possessed the resources and the organization skills to lobby the government, they were often estranged from the daily needs of women from minority races and working class. In both cases, the women?s movements were boosted by the efforts of other smaller grassroots organizations that addressed the..."

Abstract
This paper asks if women in the United States military should be allowed to fight in combat, because they are equally as capable as men. The paper argues that allowing women in combat would increase the military?s soldier supply. It also examines the current Exclusion Laws which claim that it is financially beneficial to the military for women to be kept out of combat. Other arguments are that women are not physically equal to men; and integration of combat units would be distracting and dangerous. It explores what would be the social, political and economic effects if women were allow in combat units.

E. Policy Recommendation
F. Conclusion
From the Paper
"Since its victory in the American Revolution, in 1783, the United States of America has continued to fight in wars both domestic and abroad. While women were not legally considered soldiers until recently, American women have always been present on the battlefield. While many served in non-combat roles, many fought right in the trenches, even if it meant disguising themselves as men."

From the Paper
"The United States was once under British rule and in fact the American Revolution was fought for the purpose of removing the U.S. Colonies from the rule of the British. The American Revolution was fought and independence was won establishing America as an independent and separate nation from Great Britain but only after a grueling war. Great Britain was determined to keep the Colonies under British rule and after an attack on Charleston and lives having been lost the colonists stated their intentions in a document entitled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessities to Take up Arms" and the action to break away from what most considered to be their mother country began. It has been stated in history that most of the colonists identified with the British and that many of the colonists considered themselves to be Britons."

As the Internet grows more critical our daily communications and presents all new advantages, vendors and technology have been moving away from less advantageous in-house LAN-based hardware and software processes. Although the Local Area Network technology has been slowly been overshadowed by more robust and efficient web based networking technologies, the NMCI has been reluctant to move away from these existing hardware and software local Area Network technologies."

Abstract
This is an exhaustive paper examining the way that women mentor women in modern American professional society. Examines the history of the phenomenon, and gives information on how mentoring should be given and received.
From the Paper
"Women mentoring women in the workplace is a relatively new phenomenon. Woman-to-woman mentoring encompasses circumstances and rules that are specific to a female style and representative of a female culture. The workplace puts demands on our priorities and our energy that bring new factors into woman-to-woman relationships. Our identity as professional women with career responsibilities affects our interactions with other women who are also committed to improving their performance and achieving greater success. Women learning from women at work, women mentoring each other as career professionals with job and personal lives, is an emerging opportunity with enormous potential to change work and women's lives for the future (Duff, 1999, p. xv & xvi). Mentoring begins with an influence that someone has upon another person. It also can help to shape and develop a person's personality and thoughts. In research, it has been proven that women need role models that help them to pursue and conquer future endeavors in the workforce. Discovery into the differences between males and females might be a way to unlock strategies to aid in diversity counseling as well as provide positions in organizations that are solely devoted to mentorship."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the poetry of Muriel Ruckeyser, as found in her book ?The Book of the Dead?, and that of Adrienne Rich, using her work entitled "Twenty-one Love Poems". The paper gives a biographical background on each of the poets, stressing their importance to the contemporary women?s movement and to American poetry. Rich?s poems are explored for their ideas on the relationships between women, and Ruckeyser?s are studied in terms of their comparison to a documentary and in relation to her strong political view.
From the Paper
"To many, Poetry is the voice of women. It is the way in which women can express their inner thoughts and feelings, to write the things that they can not say. Poetry is more than words on paper but someone?s feelings and life poured into the readers mind. Poets let the readers climb inside their heads and taste what the poet feels, sees, and thinks.
Two major women poets that are in the inner ring of American feminist poets are Muriel Ruckeyser and Adrienne Rich. Though their poetry may be different in content, many of their messages are the same: we need to be heard. Ruckeyser?s ?The Book of the Dead? describes conditions and feelings of the Gauley Bridge tragedy through actual courtroom testimonies to words from actual citizens of the town. Adrienne Rich?s ?Twenty-one Love Poems? describes in many ways, her love of her companion as well as their struggles and times together."
