Abstract
This paper, written in first person, relates the story of a young man who died of a drug overdose and the importance of the involvement in the family to prevent such occurrences.
From the Paper
"Dreams are in every person's mind. We all have dreams, especially when we are kids. Although some of our dreams come true, most of them just vanish through the passing of life. However, the best way to acquire them start from the strength of a united family, where the time to listen is given, where help is given when needed it and where advice is provided before making decisions. Without these basic fundamentals, not only the dreams may fade away but also lives can be devastated. One of the worse consequences of the lack of families' obligations is the use of drugs. Drugs have destroyed families and have even taken lives away."

Abstract
This paper discusses how a wrongful conviction is a miscarriage of justice and occurs when a person is convicted and punished for a crime he did not commit. The paper also looks at how most criminal justice systems have some means to overturn or rectify a wrongful conviction, but this is very difficult to achieve. Finally, the paper looks at the causes of some of these wrongful convictions and contends that when an innocent person is wrongfully convicted, it is definitely a serious miscarriage of justice.
Outline:
Introduction
The Causes of Wrongful Convictions
Case Examples
Suggestions to Eliminate Wrongful Convictions
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The most common reason for a wrongful conviction is because of a mistaken I.D. Studies have been done over the years to determine the error percentage. But from 1932 when the first study done by Borchard through 1996 conducted by Huff, Rattner, and Sagarin, the percentages range anywhere from 45% to 60%. The biggest reason for witness misidentification is because most police departments show victims pictures simultaneously rather than one at a time. Studies show fewer errors are made when pictures are shown one at a time. In addition, sometimes victims want to identify the offender so badly that he or she may identify anyone who even remotely looks like the person or persons who wronged them."

Abstract
This paper explains that Bruce in her book, ?The Death of Right and Wrong?, appears to have very few reservations as she analyzes the reasons why and how American culture is being corrupted in the name of tolerance and open-mindedness. The author points out that Bruce, who is a lesbian, maintains that it is the gay, feminist, black elite groups that are taking the American culture over the edge and are methodically corrupting the society by trying to make themselves more equal than others. The paper states that the author maintains a weird concept in that she states the main problem with the Leftist elite is that they believe people who accept should also embrace or else they are not being genuinely tolerant.
From the Paper
"Bruce writes in detail about NOW, the organization she was once proud to be associated with. She explains that despite the claims made by NOW about doing thing about issues, the truth is that such organizations are mainly political in nature and all they care about is making big hue and cry. Not much is ever done by such organizations about important issues. Bruce in particular talks about Andrea Yates case in which this woman killed her five children and blamed postpartum depression for this. NOW was most vocal on the case saying that such problems should be highlighted and that there wasn?t much being done about it."

From the Paper
"Although there is a concern for law suits, the quality of life of the patient and the trust between the community and the health care system in relation to wrong site surgeries, there must also be a concern for ethics (Kapp, 1998, p. 142). According to Kapp (1998), medical practitioners can create any number of excuses to justify why errors occur in the operating room, but it is the responsibility of all within the health care system to ensure that resolutions to the issue be discovered and implemented to ensure that mistakes are erased (p. 142). It is evident, therefore, that an effective solution must be developed that is ethically sound and that considers the needs of patients above all else."

Wrongful Convictions, 2008.

Abstract
This paper stresses that the criminal justice system is a form of theater in its subjective flourishes, which can very much alter what happens to the accused. The author points out that an innocent person can be falsely convicted and spend years in a correctional institution based on his looks and behaviors. The paper relates that Stephen Truscott's wrongful conviction demonstrates the absurdity of what can go wrong when an innocent man refuses to confess to a crime he did not commit. The author underscores that the issue of wrongful accusation and conviction points to possible errors by the police, the courts and the handling of evidence. The paper urges that this issue should be examined in the context of Canadian civil culture, which disdains the criminal, especially in cases where the accused is allegedly responsible for sexual offenses and homicides involving children.

The Wrongful Conviction of Guy Paul Morin
Implications
From the Paper
"In October of 1984, Morin was falsely accused of the still unsolved sex murder of 9 year-old Christine Jessop, his next-door neighbor" in Queensville, Ontario. Morin was then aged 25. When Jessop was reported missing, the Durham Regional Police responded and questioned members of the Morin family. It was observed that Guy Paul Morin showed no reaction, looking ahead, as was noted by police as suspicious. This reaction however is seen as one of several typical if unexpected reactions to police questioning, part of what Gudjonsson analyzed as part of the psychology of interrogations, of all kinds, as may produce extreme evasion or non-acceptance that a crime has taken place, as well as unwanted false confessions."

Why Lying is Wrong: An Ethical Perspective, 2008.
This paper discusses the morality of lying and attempts to determine the ethical explanation for the claim that lying is wrong.
739 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the morality and ethics behind lies. It bases its discussion on three different sources, which are attached in the appendix. The paper states that although there is nearly universal agreement in human societies that lying is wrong, most people instinctively know that they should not tell lies, but they do not really understand the ethics-based foundation of why lying is wrong. A close examination leads the paper to the conclusion that while lying is ethically and morally wrong in most conceivable cases, there do seem to be conditions and circumstances in which lying is not wrong.
From the Paper
"Ultimately, examining these different ethical perspectives on lying and taking into account various contributing factors indicates that while lying is ethically and morally wrong in most conceivable cases, there do seem to be conditions and circumstances in which lying is not wrong. Some philosophers have argued that it even appears to be the case that in relatively rare circumstances, not lying would be morally and ethically wrong. But these are exceptions to the prevailing ethical and moral standard that lying is wrong."

Right and Wrong within Cognitive Psychology, 2006.
A discussion of cognitive psychology's approach to understanding the ethics of what is right and what is wrong.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This study in cognitive psychology evaluates the ethics of knowing what is right and what is wrong within society. By evaluating the positive aspects of a reward system for doing the right choice in life, one can realize how psychology proves this to be the ethically correct way to behave for the greater good of society. In opposition to this, a lack of reward for wrong behaviors will ultimately project poor ethical choices. According to this paper, by understanding how societal values and psychology theory affect making right or wrong choices, making the right choice will involve greater success and prosperity in society. Society creates laws based on a solid ethical and moral basis, which helps us to see why good behavior is rewarded, and wrong behavior is punished.

From the Paper
"Organizations today are also increasingly using virtual project management teams. They are procuring expertise and materials from all corners of the world. Therefore, CPM and CCM process are even more complicated than in the past. These environments also create their own problems and bottleneck that have to be also considered when studying and process or situation. The need to increase profits and revenues has forced many establishments to try to optimize their resources. Every organization is created to serve and develop specific functions, procedures, and responsibilities. If these goals are achieved properly, the long-term stability of the organization is accomplished; and, in many cases, guaranteed. Increasing efficiency and productivity have always been key factors in implementing any change."

From the Paper
"In the case of Bill and Joe, Bill's action fulfills all the four elements required to prove a criminal threat. If Bill became successful with his threat, he could have killed or severely injured Joe with the bat. His words conveyed his intent to kill Joe. The intent was clear and complete from his utterance. The threat was fatal. Second, Bill's utterance expressed a specific intent to kill Joe and that he meant Joe to receive it as such. Bill may or may not have been able to carry his threat out, but his intent was clear and complete from his very statement. Third, the context and circumstances in which Bill made the threatening statement also convey the same fatal intent. Bill had been giving Joe a hard time about the latter's tardiness for several days. Bill could have taken suspected that Joe intentionally retaliated when Joe accidentally hit him with a ball. And fourth, the verbalized threat was unmistakably clear, unconditional, immediate and specific. The words were precise and to the point. They sounded immediate, as Bill already held the bat in his hand and charged at Joe. The threat of death or grave bodily hard was specific upon Joe. Bill's clear words and the act of charging Joe and with the bat in hand also presented the factor of immediacy. The weapon was present and visible and accompanied the verbal threat. Bill need or need not demonstrate the immediate ability to carry out his threat. But the words he used were of an immediately threatening nature and conveyed the immediate performance of the fatal or serious threat. Bill's verbal threat and act of charging Joe with a bat were enough to evoke sustained fear in Joe. The conditions were enough to prove a criminal threat against Bill."

"Meditation: The Path to Enlightenment?, 2004.
A response paper to Siddhartha Gautama, The Buddha's Work, "Meditation: The Path to Enlightenment"

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Many authorities on how to live today might be content to merely state that there are a number of advantages to one approach over another. However, according to "Meditation: The Path to Enlightenment," simply stating that there are "many virtues" is insufficient and the work proceeds to list the 28 benefits to be gained from secluded meditation. This paper provides a personal response to "Meditation: The Path to Enlightenment," followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.
From the Paper
""Secluded meditation has many virtues." The concise epigraph above contains the essence of this essay, and it turns out that there are precisely 28 advantages to be gained from secluded meditation. It is for these reasons that all of the Tathagatas [from the Sanskrit: "Thus gone one"; those who have attained Buddhahood] continued to practice meditation even after reaching a state of nirvana. "All the Tathagatas have won their all-knowledge in a state of secluded meditation, and, even after their enlightenment, they have continued to cultivate meditation in the recollection of the benefits it brought to them in the past" (649). For many Western observers who might not appreciate the profound differences embraced by this approach to life, meditation according to these precepts appears to represent a completely different avenue to self-awareness and insight."

Abstract
The paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the book "What Went Wrong: The Clash Between Islam and Modernity in the Middle East" by Bernard Lewis. The paper examines how Bernard Lewis, a respected author and expert historian who has written on a variety of historical topics, presents the argument that Islam has gone terribly wrong in modern times, and that after medieval times, the Islamic world began a decline in power, learning, the arts, and economy that the region has never been able to regain. The writer explains that Lewis shows the Middle East has almost always been torn by war and strife, and that the modern Middle East suffers from many ills that lead Muslims to anger, dissent, external and internal warfare, and economic despair.
From the Paper
"Throughout the text, he shows his understanding of the Arabic world and her peoples, even down to their lack of modern time and measurement technology - simply because it is not exceptionally necessary in their world. The author writes, "Apart from prayer, there were few other activities that required even approximate timing. This was a society in which there were no parliaments, councils, or municipalities, and the conduct of public business required no kind of schedule" (Lewis 122). This is just one example of how Western technology, so very desirable in the West, was often unnecessary in the East, and technology and advances began to pass the Muslim Middle East by."

Shining Path, 2002.
Discusses the 'Sendero Luminoso' (Shining Path) terrorist group of Peru.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The Shining Path terrorist group launched a series of attacks in Peru, terrorizing the country for decades before they were beaten back in a 1990?s crackdown. However, in March 2002, a car bomb attack near the United States embassy in Lima made Peruvian citizens recall their fears of terrorism. While the Shining Path has remained low-key for several years, the national and state government still recognize it as a terrorist organization. This paper takes a look at this group, including its history and leadership, structure and activities.
From the Paper
"The Shining Path was defeated for many reasons. For one, there was a lack of support among large sectors of the population as the group used authoritarian methods against peasants, workers, and other sectors of the population (Rueter?s, 1998). In addition, its brutal military repression all but guaranteed its lack of success, and the group was opposed by grass-roots organizations. Finally, the vertical nature of the party structure led to international isolation. The group was doomed."

Right and Wrong under Consequentialist Thinking, 2007.
Questions whether it can sometimes be 'right', under consequentialist thinking, to do the wrong thing.

Abstract
When considering a question ethically, one has to come up with the best solution possible. There are several methods of analyzing ethical questions that have been developed over the years. The two primary categories of methods are teleological, or consequentialist, and deontological. This paper considers whether or not it can sometimes be 'right' to do the 'wrong' thing, using consequentialist thinking. The paper uses the example of the question of whether or not it can sometimes be 'right' to reward offenders and punish victims of crimes, perhaps by letting offenders go scot-free, while dismissing the claims of victims for compensation.
Outline:
Introduction
Consequentialist Overview
Application of Consequentialist Thinking
Conclusion
References
From the Paper
"Although there are numerous positive outcomes with this scenario, to fully analyze the situation as a consequentialist, one must also consider the negative outcomes to see if the positive outweigh the negative. The negative consequences are more in line with traditional thinking when considering such a topic. Rewarding prisoners could possibly give incentive to criminals to commit crimes. Those who feel frustrated with their position in life may be more likely to commit a crime simply to receive the reward of education or job skills, in hopes of bettering their life circumstances."

Maoist Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path or SL), 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that the leftist Maoist Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path or SL) seeks to topple the existing Peruvian government at any expense and to then impose their own communist regime. The author points out that, at their worst, in the 1980s and 1990s, this group, along with the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, is said to be responsible for over 30,000 deaths as well as bombings, kidnapping, bank robberies and various brutal attacks The paper relates that the underlying frustration, which many of the impoverished Peruvians have felt for years, has resulted in a successful rate for gaining members because many of the unemployed and the alienated youth see them as a beacon for meaningful change.
From the Paper
"Because of the fact that many of the leaders of this group are now imprisoned and also there is a firm, no-nonsense Peruvian government in place which is actively seeking to bring these terrorists to justice, the one-year outlook for this group does not appear to be in their favor. While their membership is unknown, it is believed to be around 400 to 500 armed militants, which is a relatively low number compared to other world-wide terrorist groups. Although not the threat that it was, the group does remain in being, and could exploit further unrest or governmental weakness in Peru to continue its renewal."
