Abstract
This paper asserts that, as indicated by the self-control theory, society believes parents are responsible for children possessing low self control. The author agrees that parents are responsible for teaching their children good values and for helping them to learn right from wrong; however, the author does not believe parents should be held accountable for the criminal actions of their children. The paper underscores that today parents, who cannot be with their children 24 hours a day, seven days a week, have much less contact with their children than in the 1950s and 60s. Many quotations are included in the paper to explain the self control theory and positions supporting and opposing it.

From the Paper
"Society believes parents are responsible for children possessing low self control. I believe single parents receive more criticism because he or she has to work multiple jobs to provide for their family, they do not have free time to spend with their children to provide positive influences like a family with two parents does. As parents we can do only do so much, ultimately the child is the one who should be held accountable for his or her actions not the parents. Our children are surrounded by role models who provide positive influences such as teachers, therefore when a child participates in criminal activities the only person to blame is the child."

The paper explains that effective pain control is always made up of two methods: pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions (RNAO, 2007). The paper also notes that the client's perspective on pain and its relief is very important..

Abstract
This essay explores the development of gun control policies. It discusses various aspects of gun control including policy making steps, policy models in the United States, and policy models in the United Kingdom. It also offers a gun control policy suggestion and evaluation of the policy, as well as suggestions for implementation. It finds that the United States needs a uniform gun control policy that includes background checks that would disqualify anyone with a criminal record and require all individuals to attend a gun safety class. Further, it holds that hot button items like gun control policy should go beyond symbolism and should be based on more substantive information.

"The Iron Triangle model is also identified as a policy whirlpool. It is described as three key players in the policy process who wield the most weight. These three key players are most often identified as executive bureaus, congressional committees, and interest groups. Executive bureaus are believed to deal with the issues the most on a constant basis. Congressional committees actually control the bills while interest groups have influence, time, money and resources."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in the early part of the 20th century, family planning on a more deliberate level began to appear in England due largely to the continued efforts of birth control advocate Marie Stopes (1880-1958). However, it was not until the second decade of the 20th century that birth control began to be seen as something important, realistic and necessary. The paper then relates the history in England of birth control and the life work of Stopes. The paper concludes that, although birth control is still seen by some people, such as some extremely devout Catholics, as being wrong; overall, there is no stigma in England to purchasing birth control methods even if a woman is unmarried, which is a marked difference from what took place during Stopes' lifetime.

From the Paper
"The idea of the importance of contraception actually began early on in the 19th century. At that time, much of the inspiration for that kind of movement came from a book called "An Essay on the Principle of Population" which was written in 1798 by a British political economist named Thomas Malthus. In his book, he argued that the population of the world would eventually grow to the point that the earth would not be able to actually support it. If this took place, famine, poverty, epidemics, and other significant and frightening problems would plague the human race."

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine if a higher internal locus of control would predict a higher level of life satisfaction for caretakers of Alzheimer's patients. The subjects in the present study are 50 male and female caretakers of Alzheimer's patients, who volunteered from a local treatment center. Subjects responded to two test instruments: the Belief in Personal Control Scale and the Satisfaction With Life Scale.
Results of the simple regression analysis used, statistically validate the hypothesis. The predictability index demonstrated that as levels of locus of control increased, levels of life satisfaction increased. Implications of this research are that since caretakers tend to be happier when they feel more in control, social workers and other health practitioners striving to increase this tendency, would provide greater assistance to this population.

"Caregiving responsibilities or perceived responsibilities result in stress. The caregiver's relationship to the patient has been a factor found to influence service utilization, and therefore stress levels. For example, caregiver's who are children, rather than spouses, tend to use institutional options more often. When institutions are not used, the constant vigilance necessary as well as the mounding fear, become a burden to the caretaker, which may further result in reactions of guilt and shame. Thus perceived responsibilities and perceived possible solutions are factors in caretaker's stress levels (Ganzer & england, 1994, pp. 174-180)."

Abstract
This paper explains that, given the paramount position of fertility reduction, people in China must use a birth control method unless they have justified reasons; they do have a choice among a specified range of contraceptives. The author points out that contraception falls totally on the woman, the majority practicing family planning or using IUDs, with little demand for contraceptives, particularly among rural families. The paper states that family planning programs are controlled by the Ministry of Health; local councils and other organizations enforce family planning but will not over ride the dictates of the state government. Includes a table contrasting differences between Chinese and the Western culture and values.

From the Paper
"China has changed the parameters of its health care system and is now focused more on patient safety and care. The center for policy and process is the Ministry of Health. In addition the National Institute for Control of Pharmaceutical and Biological Products plays a key role in enforcing regulations regarding drugs and biotech products.
The emphasis on economic efficiency also redefined the role of the Chinese government in the health care sector. There was a call for modernization and an increasing demand for urban health care services. However, even with modernization, strict controls remain in effect."

Abstract
This paper presents a research proposal that will be to evaluate whether or not use of birth control pills over the counter is considered as safe as prescription birth control, which is currently the only offering available in the United States. It explains that the study will attempt to compare the adverse affects of not having birth control available in addition to analyzing patient education differences between two groups: those self-medicating with pharmacists assistance and those receiving prescriptions from their doctor.

"The methods used for this study will include a quantitative evaluation that will examine the use patterns of women currently using birth control at family planning clinics in the United States. Study criteria will include women who are interested in receiving birth control over the counter who are willing to complete a survey to determine whether or not they feel provider evaluation and counseling prove beneficial. The subjects will be asked to rate whether or not they feel provider input with regard to birth control pill use has been beneficial or not in the past."
