Abstract
In this study on gun control, particularly in the United States, the writer explores both sides of the issue from a political as well as a moral standpoint. The writer works to present fair presentation for both sides and then draws it all together in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"As the world moves into the future it takes with it lessons of the past. Gun control is an issue that is not black and white. Those who oppose it do so for many reasons and those who support it claim to do so for the same. Gun control is not a one shot deal either. If gun control is enacted there are many options with which the bill can be written into law and fine-tuned for the individual needs or desires of that state. There will probably come a time in which the United States Supreme Court will have to decide what the constitutional authors meant when they penned the second amendment. Until then it is a stand still with both sides taking aim at the other."

From the Paper
"There has been a dramatic increase in violent crime among youth in recent years. Random, unprovoked attacks by adolescents, known as "wildings," have become increasingly common in large urban centers such as New York. In addition, there has been a rise in the number of young people who kill. According to FBI statistics, the arrests of murderers under the age of eighteen increased by more than 20 percent during the 1980's, even though the population of American teens decreased by 2 percent during the same period (Toufexis, 1989, p. 52). Killings by young people are often brutal and compassionless. In addition, the murders are often committed over trivial things, "like a pair of sneakers, a fancy shirt, or a bit of loose change" (Kramer, 1988, p. 7). Reported incidents have included such situations as drive-by shootings, shootings of friends, and..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the methods the CIA used to try to "get rid" of Fidel Castro and overthrow the communist Cuban government. This paper gives light to some of the many plots the CIA came up with to rid the world of history's longest ruling communist dictator.
From the Paper
"To say that the relationship between the United States and Cuba is complicated is a major understatement. Ever since 1959, when Fidel Castro came into power in Cuba, the two nations have had a strained relationship at best, and a highly adversarial relationship when things got worse. Now that the Cold War is over and Cuba is no longer receiving weapons and aid from the defunct Soviet Union, relations between the two countries are much more relaxed. However, during the height of the Cold War, during the Kennedy administration and even before that, the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States developed and planned several ways to bring down the communist Cuban government; the catalyst they kept going back to in order to bring down the government was the assassination of Fidel Castro."

Abstract
The paper discusses the April 20th, 1999 violence, when two young men went on a killing spree at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, killing twelve classmates and a teacher. The paper questions who and/or what is to blame for this out-of-control situation. The paper points to the influence of parents, the American attitude towards firearms, and the bullying that happens throughout schools in America. The paper relates that in this case, parenting is the most important cause, although the American desire to bear arms and the young people who enjoy humiliating and taunting others are also to blame.
From the Paper
"On April 20th, 1999 two young men went on a killing spree at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, killing twelve classmates and a teacher. In response to this horrific act, President Clinton hosted a White House conference on youth violence. When young people commit violent acts, such as the Columbine massacre, there are many elements that can be responsible for their actions. We can be sure that these actions don't depend on just one specific reason, but a collection of events that shape the character of the young men or women who get involved in acts of violence such as the Columbine shootings."

"To Kill a Mockingbird", 2007.

Abstract
The paper discusses Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird," a story about the senselessness of racism and prejudice and the carelessness of most people in their dealings with people who are different than they are. The paper compares the film based on this story to the original written novel and highlights the limitations of the film.
From the Paper
"The main limitation of film in telling this story was its inability to use the omnipotent first person inner narrative of the characters that was used in the book. The characters' inner monologues served to let the reader experience the actions occurring in the story from the point of view of the characters, and mainly Scout. The film had to achieve most of its character development through either direct dialogue between the characters or the characters' actions."

From the Paper
"Scout is an aggressive child and finds it difficult to get along with others at school- Atticus tells her a golden rule which he believes can help solve her problem: "If you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you see things from his point of view--- until you climb into his skin and walk around in it"." (Lee 30). This was indeed a sign of Atticus' humility and wisdom that he also wanted to instill in his children. He understood that the best way to deal with people was to view their problems, their issues, and their reaction from their position and that it when everything becomes clearer. "

Other mediums used in the past are phone orders and travel agents. Digital media such as the internet, traditional radio, satellite radio etc will also play a vital role in the marketing campaign. This would include search engine promotion of the Young Persons Railcard website, search engine optimization (SE0), article publication, banner ads, newsletters, email marketing, newsletters, radio ads, etc..

"A Time to Kill", 2002.
Examines the difference in the versions of John Grisham's novel and Joel Schumacher's movie "A Time to Kill".

Abstract
John Grisham's "A Time to Kill" is a powerful courtroom drama that examines the difference between social justice and moral justice in a small town in Mississippi. The paper explains that, given the legacy of segregation and racism in the south, it describes both the emotional and complex legal issues of fairness and equality in the eyes of the law. The story is about a young white lawyer, who successfully defends a black man, clearly guilty of killing the two white men who raped his ten year old daughter. This paper shows how both the novel and film version are riveting dramas, and compares and discusses their major differences which lie in the context of the two mediums.
From the Paper
"The basic difference between a novel and a screenplay is that the former can indulge in the luxury of full descriptive passages and the latter must adhere to a very specific structure. Novels give us the opportunity to meet the characters and create a relationship with them. The details of who they are can be developed. We learn about their past. We see them in the context of where they live. The events in a novel move in linear time and with a novel, we have all the time in the world."

?Young Goodman Brown?, 2002.
A review of Nathaniel Hawthorne?s novel, ?Young Goodman Brown?.
2,257 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Nathaniel Hawthorne?s ?Young Goodman Brown? details the temptation and eventual disillusionment of a young Puritan man, who, when confronted with the massive possible hypocrisy of the community in which he lives, is unable to adapt successfully to a portrait of the world that does not live up to his romantic ideals. It looks at how Hawthorne weaves enough structural ambiguity into the story to make it unclear for both the reader and for Brown just what the actual reality is and how, at its conclusion, we are left to a realm of unknowns and suspicion as much as he is. It shows how, ultimately, the story of "Young Goodman Brown" is the story of a young man who, once his romantic ideals about the world are tested, lapses instead into a cynicism and frustration that represents the completely opposite end of the spectrum.
From the Paper
"Nathaniel Hawthorne?s Story ?Young Goodman Brown? opens with a brief exchange between Young Goodman Brown and his wife, Faith, whose very name points to an obvious symbolic dimension of her character in the story. We discover quickly in their exchange of dialogue that they are newlyweds, very much in love. Indeed, the fact that they are newly married, as well as the title of ?young? that precedes Goodman Brown?s name all inform us that the are both new to the world of independent experience, that the still possess many romantic illusions about life, and that they are generally inexperienced. Yet, at their otherwise sweet parting, there is a strangeness. Faith asks her husband not to depart on his unspecified errand and suggests that she has had some sort of premonition, a premonition that Young Goodman Brown himself seems to share."

Factors that contribute to the development of these disorders, including relevant life changes, are also discussed. The last section looks at how effective therapy or counseling techniques can help young adults address these common psychological disorders in young adulthood. It also suggests how counseling techniques such as psychoanalysis and cognitive-behavior therapy can be modified in order to address the special needs and disorders associated with this period.

From the Paper
"In purely physical terms, young adulthood encompasses only minor physiological changes, compared to those that occur at puberty. People can experience additional modest gains in height and in muscle development from their late teens to their early twenties, but generally do not experience major physical changes until middle age. However, young adulthood is a period of profound psychosocial and cognitive developments. Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development builds on the work of Sigmund Freud. Like Freud, Erikson basis his theory on the idea that internal, biological factors largely determine one's personality. However, while Freud's theory stops at adolescence, Erikson's psychosocial stages continue into adulthood.
Erikson believed that a person's social and cultural surroundings had a strong influence on one's psycho-social development."

Abstract
This paper examines the masterpiece, "To Kill a Mocking Bird" by Harper Lee, about racial injustices and gender discrimination observed through the eyes of a young six-year old girl, as well as the movie version of the book produced by Robert Mulligan, and presents a comparison of the two. It shows how the movie was made black and white, in such a technologically revolutionary period, in order to capture the gloominess and the dullness of the Depression era and how the book paints a far more effective picture of that time period probably because it gave room to the author to get her personal experience into the play for she was a resident of the Southern town. The book symbolizes the theme of innocence and pureness through the use of mockingbird. However in the film version, the most fundamental theme of the novel has deviated slightly in terms of the plot by emphasizing more on the theme of racial prejudice than the theme of innocence. Both the movie and the book have been recipients of awards.
From the Paper
"The representation of the world where racial injustices and gender discrimination prevail are observed through the eyes of a young six-year old girl whose widowed father is not only a man of words but is also a man of deeds. Gregory Peck plays Atticus Finch, the tomboy?s father and a principled attorney (Marja: B06) who fights for the rights of a local black man wrongly charged with the rape of a white woman in their segregated town (Marja: B06). Gregory Peck has managed to do justice to his role and Robert Mulligan deserves equal credit for an aptly portrayal of the novel. However, since Lee wrote the novel keeping in mind her horrifying personal experiences as a child that gave birth to the protagonist of her novel, Stout, the novel turned out to be far more effective in its representation of the Depression-era Alabama than the movie version of it (Marja: B06)."

From the Paper
"In addition, a number of states do not have a daily physical education requirement, and even in those that do, many children in physical education classes are not meeting the desired physical fitness goals. Finally, an increasing number of American children are engaging in sedentary activities such as television viewing and web "surfing," trends that are increasingly occupying significant amounts of children's free time (Dietz, 1990). There are a wide range of approaches to help reduce sports-related injuries in young athletes such as coaching education, parent education, proper equipment; in addition, the establishment of fundamental fitness abilities, including preparatory muscle conditioning as a preventative health measure should not be overlooked. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, up to 50 percent of all injuries sustained by children while playing organized sports are likely preventable (Smith, Andrish, & Micheli, 1993)."

In this article, the writer firstly critically analyses the health and well being outcomes for young people leaving care; addressing the areas of mental health, physical and learning disabilities. Secondly a critical evaluation of both national and specific LAC focused health promotion strategies is discussed and the impact of these on the young person's journey through care is provided, with particular attention paid to young people affected by disability and mental health problems. Throughout the essay an awareness of oppressive and discriminatory practices is demonstrated.
From the Paper
"As mentioned earlier, mental health problems are very prominent in care leavers. Once a young person reaches 18 years of age, there are often problems with accessing adult services. Young people with mental health problems can find it very difficult when they become care leavers. Mental health issues are sometimes left undiagnosed in looked after young people as doctors and psychologists sometimes feel that they do not want to "label" young people. This could be because there is still a stigma attached to having a mental health issue. However, on the opposite side of this, if a mental health issue is not diagnosed then resources are not made available to the young people when they may need them in order to lead a full and health life. Another difficulty for care leavers who move on to adult services, is that they may forget appointments and no-one is there to remind them or take them to appointments, this means that the young person is not receiving the care and support they may need."
