Abstract
This paper examines Romans 5:12-17, a biblical text attributed to Paul. The paper asserts that the reason Paul wrote Romans, according to the book's opening and closing chapters, was to share some spiritual gift with the Romans, remind them of things they should already know, and announce his plan to visit them. Part of Romans deals with the differing Jewish and Gentile theologies that were present in Rome. The paper points out that Paul addresses different directives to both groups in order to make them understand that neither is superior. The paper claims that Romans is Paul's attempt to show the Jews and the Gentiles God's plan for them and to unify the groups. The paper concludes that the main point of this passage is to show that people are one of two kinds, either belonging to Adam (sinners) or to Jesus Christ (saved).

From the Paper
"The book of Romans was written by Saul of Tarsus, a man who prior to his conversion did everything he could to make life difficult for Christians. Growing up in a port city as a Roman citizen, he had access to good education. Paul was also Jewish, a member of the prestigious group of Pharisees. There is even some indication that because of his claims of being able to cast votes to condemn Christians to death prior to his conversion, he was a member of the Sanhedrin. Paul was probably nearing the end of his third missionary journey when he wrote Romans, which means it is safe to assume that Corinth is the best candidate for the place from which he may have been writing. The letter was also likely written within a year or two of AD 57."

Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that people's choice of a news source predominantly depends on their need to make functional decisions in real time. In order to expand a person's ability to solve basic societal problems in a shorter time frame, people have developed a reliance on journalists, among other skilled professionals, to sift through their extensive information ecology and process it for them. The writer notes that the transition from newspaper to television and the future transition from television to the Internet, depends entirely on the success in sifting through the consumer's information ecology. The writer maintains that in its most successful form, the Internet solves many of the issues both television and newspapers have confronted as popular media systems. The writer concludes that by maintaining the textual and visual aspects available in previous media systems, while affording the consumer a higher level of control over the news, the Internet will replace television and newspaper as the popular media system.
From the Paper
"Danielewski would argue that to understand where Internet news is going, we simply need to look at how television is reinventing itself. Television today is becoming more personalized, just as it influenced theater. News is now available on multiple channels, each with very specific audiences. A diverse and more complete presentation of reality is presented, through photos, streaming text and diagrams. Additionally, the newly popular recordable video feature available through several cable companies makes news timeless. A viewer is able to not only come back and watch or re-watch an event, but they are also able to fast forward through parts they don't want to see."

Threat Assessment Definition and Purpose
Planning and Assessment
From the Paper
"Threat assessment has made immense advances in the past 20 years; assessments of targeted violence resume posing a sizeable challenge to law enforcement, mental health, and other professionals. This explicit and critical assessment calls for an innovative approach. The effective assessment and management of people acknowledged as being at risk for violence continues to be a significant worry in the criminal justice and mental health communities. In the case of Principal Dauber who is an outspoken supremacist, he is in danger of his life due to his lifestyle and beliefs."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that in today's society, organizations need to have a plan in place in event of an attack or failure to recover data that is lost, stolen, or destroyed. In this essay, the writer presents a step-by-step plan of how to recover such data and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of any methodologies or technologies designed to protect the data in information systems. The writer concludes that although no plan provides 100% protection, a company has to be ready to protect what it has and react to information system threats as they take place.
From the Paper
" Backup is reacting to what to do to repair the situation after it happened. Processing will continue either at the main data center or at the selected hot site, depending on the outcomes of the assessment of damage to equipment. However, if the damaged area entails a longer time of reconstruction, then the second stage of back up begins. If the database is misplaced, examining the last system checkpoint does not recover it. The system log can tell what modifications have taken placed, but without the original database itself, recovery can be impossible. The organization should backup message queues, online changes, and make new backup copies at regular intervals. The more current the backup copies, the smaller amount of log change records to be processed during recovery, and as a result the time needed for recovery is decreased."

Importance of Forensic to Policing
From the Paper
"Forensic science is a science made use of for the intentions of the law, and offers unbiased scientific evidence for use in the in a criminal investigation, courts of law, and a trial. Forensic science is a range of topics, illustrating mainly from chemistry and biology, but also psychology, social science, geology, and physics.

Abstract
This paper examines the history of the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution and how it has evolved inside the judicial system into the right to preventive healthcare within the prison setting. The author studies diseases such as viral hepatitis and how the justice system has dealt with this disease. This paper discusses human papillomavirus (HPV) and how it can be compared to viral hepatitis types B and C. The author concludes that the standard of deliberate indifference to health care needs in women's prisons requires the United State's justice system to immunize women prisoners to prevent the spread of HPV and cervical cancer. The paper argues that it is now the obligation of the Federal Bureau of Prisons to add to the "Clinical Practice Guidelines" a requirement for mandatory testing for HPV and for immunization with Gardasil for those who are at high risk of HPV.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In "Ruiz v. Johnson", a group of inmates had sued the Director of the Texas Department of Corrections. The plaintiffs alleged that conditions in the correctional facilities violated Eight Amendment protections. Conditions were so extreme that the United States joined in as a plaintiff, against the defendant's resistance. The case includes commentary from Dr. Robertson, an expert in the trial. He stated that he saw two cases of "potentially preventable" cancers where the patients received delay in diagnosis and treatment, causing a negative prognosis. The defendants argued that the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) accredited them and therefore their practices were constitutional."

Magic Realism In Photography, 2008.
An analysis of how magic realism can be applied to the medium of photography.
2,127 words (approx. 8.5 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 66.95

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of the definitions of magic realism. It specifically focuses on magic realism within photography and if the term can be applied to specific forms of photography. The paper discusses the medium of photography and how the writer uses this medium. It also looks briefly at digital photography, as well as black and white photography.
From the Paper
" It is very difficult to apply the term magic realism to photography of any kind; perhaps because it seems that every kind of photography may be capable of being magic realism. Since the meaning of the term has come to encompass so many definitions, there is an argument for many kinds of photographs to be considered as magic realist photographs. In my photography, I truly want to infuse the logical even "normal" world with something as illogical as a state of mind, an imagination. By still using a representational language to do so, I believe my photographs can fit into the Roh and Hartlaub description of magic realism as well as the Carpentier and Uslar-Pietri description. It is possible to use objectifiable or representational art rather than abstract art to express a part of human reality. It may seem that the objective world is "crystallized" by a photograph, but the crystalline structure of a real external situation is easily fractured by the tiniest suggestion of an internal or psychological reality; the latter is in fact strengthened by the cold and certain detail of the former."

Clementina Hawarden and Julia Margaret Cameron, 2008.
An analysis of the photography of Clementina Hawarden and Julia Margaret Cameron.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how, through technical style and the happenstance of amateur discovery, two Victorian women, Clementina Hawarden and Julia Margaret Cameron, placed their own expression into the portraits and tableaux of women. The paper specifically discusses how Cameron and Hawarden were equally, if unknowingly, seeking a release through photography and how, in projecting part of themselves, part of a fantastic desire onto reality, they found an outlet to express themselves.
From the Paper
"In Hawarden's photographic studies it is less clear what part of herself the artist has put into her images, what inner urge is being projected; there are no hints given by titles as the images are uncaptioned. There is a sparsity of surviving writings from her own hand; unlike Cameron, she did not make even a fragmentary autobiography. In an obituary for Hawarden, Oscar Rejlander commented that she "worked honestly, in a good, comprehensible style...She also was in her manner and conversation- fair, straightforward, nay manly, with a feminine grace." While her style may have been perceived as comprehensible, the meaning of her images seems less so. There is a sense of an obscure erotic drama which utilizes "vaguely melancholic poses that hint at familiar but not quite identifiable narratives" (Armstrong)."

This paper looks at the global energy crisis and discusses the benefits of alternative energy.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that it seems as though the US is falling deeper and deeper into a global energy crisis. The writer discusses that several possible energy alternatives exist, though additional funding is still required for the research and development of such sources of clean, renewable energy. The writer argues that, due to America's rising demands for energy, and the negative impact this demand for energy has on the environment, the United States federal government should substantially increase alternative energy incentives. The writer notes that such initiatives in changing our way of life take a substantial amount of time and resources; however, the benefits of renewable energy are incredible. Through the utilization of clean, renewable energy, the negative effects of global climate change will be reduced. The writer concludes that in an effort to preserve the healthy and well-being of the population in the future, additional funding toward the use of alternative sources of energy must be initiated.
From the Paper
"This movement simply urges automobile manufacturers to improve fuel efficiency by the year 2020, while ignoring the possible crisis of a petroleum shortage. The federal government must become aware of the limited time to take action in an increasingly dominant issue, and introduce new strategies of energy production and conservation.
"Among the nationwide demand for energy, automobiles top the list, and are of great concern. Carbon emissions, produced in a large part due to the millions of cars on the road, forms the basis of the issue knows as global warming. To many, is seems evident that climate change greatly threatens the Earth's future well-being if changes are not made."

This paper clarifies the differences between conventional and alternative medicine. The paper first discusses why people in certain cultures opt to use alternative medicine rather then conventional, and then looks at the advantages of alternative medicine and what we can learn from it. Additionally, the paper looks at why a majority of practitioners are now utilizing what can be called contemporary medicine.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Literature Review
From the Paper
"The method used by Astin (1998) for testing were mail surveys that gathered information on use of alternative health care, perceived benefits and risks of these therapies, health beliefs and attitudes, views toward and experiences with conventional medicine, political beliefs, and worldview. The results were that relief of symptoms is the main benefit reported a central finding is that users of alternative health care are no more dissatisfied with or distrustful of conventional care than nonusers are (Astin, 1998). Second, the results can help identify and clarify prevailing cultural conceptions about and attitudes toward health and illness and examine the degree to which the growing interest in alternative medicine may represent a type of cultural paradigm shift regarding health beliefs and practices."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that reactions to Dixie Chicks anti-war sentiments is proof that American freedom and Constitution-protected free speech is being squandered and illustrates how government dissent is becoming criminal. The writer maintains however, that the blame for the nation's censorship cannot be solely placed on the public, but lies deeper in society, in fundamental liberty protectors, and in government. The writer notes that the constitutional protection of free speech, freedom of press, freedom from government seizures without cause, freedom of association - all basic rights that the nation's founding fathers view as non-negotiable necessities to fight the evils of a police state - are under attack. The writer points out that the feeling of nationwide fear coupled with oppressive government tactics, notably the Patriot Act, has divided our country into two opposing groups and suppressed the anti-war side.
From the Paper
"Now police and other law officials are allowed to investigate and arrest citizens without worrying about warrant. It allows police to act on their instinct and question anyone who they think may have connections to domestic terrorism without requiring a sanction from the courts. This is a huge disruption in the checks and balances system, where it eliminates the need for the court of law for authorization. This was a major blow to our civil liberties - depriving us of due process of law and freedom of speech among other freedoms.
"The biggest catalyst in political division is actually a secondary reactant, not directly from the government as the Patriot Act, but instead influenced by the government. It is the new patriotism spawned out of warped feelings of mandatory allegiance and national hysteria and fear following September 11th. The mindset has been established that those who are pro-America are good and those who are pro-Iraq are bad but those who are anti-war are bad as well. You cannot be in the middle you must take a side. Neutralism is the enemy."

Edite Cunha's "Talking in the New Land", 2008.
This paper reviews Edite Cunha's essay "Talking in the New Land" about her life experience, from the age of seven to the age of nine, of having English as a second language.

Abstract
This paper explains that Edite Cunha's "Talking in the New Land" demonstrates her great effort, living in a melting pot and trying to find her role in the family. The author points out that Cunha shows the struggle of being the interpreter for her family with great credibility, strong emotions and logic. The paper relates that Cunha gains credibility by using anecdotes of her younger self and by showing her emotions at each time. The author underscores that, when the young Edite is either forced to speak English or has to translate from English to Portuguese for her father, her feelings are always cold and fearful. The paper suggest that Cunha is trying to impress upon the readers that often with learning the public language the consequences are negative.
From the Paper
"In the beginning of the essay, when Edite is explaining her name, her words are filled with love, "in naming their daughters Maria, my people were expressing their love and reverence for their Lady of Fatima." But when in an English school she explains, "I never knew quite who I was" when her teacher changed her name to sound more American. Another example of intense emotion was when the young Edite and her father go to the Employment division and Edite reads the words on the doorway she recalls, "there was a growing coldness deep inside me.""

David Harvey's "A Brief History of Neoliberalsim", 2008.
This paper reviews David Harvey's "A Brief History of Neoliberalsim", which contends that the theory of neoliberalism and actual neoliberalism are extremely different.
1,565 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 0 sources, $ 51.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that David Harvey's "A Brief History of Neoliberalsim" states that neoliberalism is a means to restore power to the rich and make the poor poorer. The author points out that Harvey believes that, when neoliberal principles conflict with the need to restore power, then its principles are either abandoned or so warped as to become unrecognizable. The paper relates that Harvey believes that the main achievement of neoliberalism has been to redistribute wealth and income through the processes of privatization and commoditization, financialization, the management and manipulation of crises and state redistributions. The paper states that Harvey concludes that neo-conservatism is consistent with the neoliberal idea of elite governance, mistrust of democracy and the upholding of market freedoms; however, it differs in that neo-conservatism tries to create order in the chaos of individual interests and external and internal dangers.
From the Paper
"The manipulation of crises has advanced into the redistribution of wealth from the poor countries to the rich countries. For example, the U.S. loaned money to Mexico and then increased the interest rate so that Mexico had to declare bankruptcy. The U.S. then manipulated the situation so that they could offer to bail them out as long as Mexico took up neoliberal reforms or the liberalization of capital markets, such as privatization and the reorganization of the financial system so that it was more consistent with foreign interests. They also had to open their internal markets to foreign capital, lower their tariff barriers, and create a more flexible labor market."

Samuel Huntington's "The Clash of Civilizations", 2008.
This paper analyzes political scientist Samuel Huntington's "The Clash of Civilizations and the Making of the World Order" by comparing it with Edward Said's book "Orientalism".

Abstract
This paper explains that, in "The Clash of Civilizations and the Making of the World Order", Harvard political scientist Samuel Huntington believes that a clash of civilizations may arise in the not too far distant future because of the instability of the present international system, which he believes features a number of civilizations with incompatible political, social, cultural and religious values. The author points out that Huntington is especially critical of Islam, which he views as a civilization convinced of its cultural superiority yet obsessed with the inferiority of their power. The paper argues that, despite Edward Said's charges in his book "Orientalism", neither Huntington nor the theories in his book is orientalist. The author underscores argues that ill-conceived books, such as Said's , perpetuate myths about Zionism and Western misdeeds.
From the Paper
"In contrast to Huntington, who is very critical of Islam, Said is very critical of Zionism. Consequently, it is not surprising that he would consider Huntington an Orientalist. For example, in terms of Zionism and related perceived ideologies, Said insists upon blaming the West or Zionists for the poor image of Arab societies among so many people outside of the Middle East. He seems particularly intent upon attacking Jewish scholars and media organizations, and objects to any mention in the West of Arab treatment of groups such as the Kurds, the Christians, the Bahais, or Arab women who undergo genital mutilation in the name of "modesty"."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Constitutional Reform Act of 2005, which enshrines in law, for the first time, a duty on government ministers to uphold the independence of the judiciary. The paper describes the history and the scope of the law, as well as its purpose. In addition, the paper discusses the Constitutional Reform Act with relation to English constitutional law and its need for reform.
From the Paper
"The scope of judicial review today is almost unrecognisable compared to that of 25 years ago, and judges are more willing to intervene to ensure that the body in question acts in a procedurally correct manner, even when such a decision may impugn on the authority of the executive. For example in the case of Anisminic Ltd v Foreign Compensation Commission , where a statutory provision seemed to exclude the courts' supervisory jurisdiction, the court, according to Wade and Forsyth, acted in a way of "total disobedience to Parliament" by recognising a broad concept of jurisdiction. Further, in the Pergau Dam case, Lord Irvine argues that the court "took away from the executive a considerable degree of autonomy" in holding that the Secretary of State's decision was unlawful. He continues arguing "it is this type of judicial activism which begins to blur the boundary between appeal and review, thereby undermining the constitutional foundations on which the courts' supervisory jurisdiction rests"."
