Abstract
This paper examines the events that led up to the end of the Korean War in 1953 and the impact it had on the United States. The paper states that one remarkable aspect of the ending of this war was the modest impact it had on America. It claims that this stemmed partly from the fact that Korea had not been a site of significant American interest before this war began, the war had bogged down into seemingly interminable negotiations, and the political situation was focused on other matters. The paper concludes that, when the armistice agreement was signed, there were no wild celebrations, perhaps because the country had finally ended a war it was truly tired of.

Outline:
Lack of a Historical Relationship/Lack of a Historical Korea
The Fall of China, the Rise of McCarthyism, and the Democratic Retreat
The Korean War: From the First Campaigns to the Fall of MacArthur
Armistice and Exhaustion

From the Paper
"At the end of World War Two, Korea remain of middling importance to the United States. American Secretary of State Dean Acheson did not define Korea as part of the American sphere of influence in the world, suggesting that the United States would not intervene militarily if North Korea attempted to take over South Korea,17 although apparently few in the American administration took this as a serious prospect. Thus, it was something of a shock when the United States intervened when the war broke out."

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between Korea and the United States in 1953. The paper notes that Americans were largely unconcerned with the Korean Conflict, discouraged by the endless negotiation and by the recalcitrance of the president of Korea, who tried to scuttle the The paper concludes that McCarthyism was a major distracting factor.

Abstract
This paper considers whether Canada may be too closely alligned with the United States, particularly from a military and economic point of view. The paper further points out that although it is tempting to view Canada as being in a dangerously dependent position relative to the United States of America, the simple reality is that Canada needs those close ties with America. These reasons are detailed.

From the Paper
"This paper looks at whether or not Canada may be properly considered as being far too close an ally of the United States - at least from a military and economic point of view. Although it is tempting to view Canada as being in a dangerously dependent position relative to the United States of America, the simple reality is that Canada needs those close ties with America. For one thing, although Canada is obviously a junior partner in NORAD and NATO, and although Canada appears to often engage in joint military exercises with US forces, the simple reality is that such military integration and alignment is necessary: at this paper is being..."

Abstract
This paper discusses an interview held with an immigrant to the United States, relating her story and tying it to various concepts in the literature, such as the melting pot concept.

From the Paper
"America has long been regarded as a melting pot, a term that signifies the amalgamation of diverse ethnicities into one. In Zangwill's pre-World War I play "The Melting Pot", one of his characters states; "America is God's Crucible, the great Melting Pot where all the races of Europe are melting and re-forming", as cited in Hirschman. The character sees fifty different ethnic groups standing at Ellis Island each with its own language history and rivalries and concludes, "But you...""

Abstract
Homelessness remains one of America's most complicated and important social issues and is a devastating experience for families. It disrupts virtually every aspect of family life, damaging the physical and emotional health of family members interfering with children's education and development and frequently resulting in the separation of family members. This paper provides an overview of causes and consequences of homelessness among three of the largest homeless population in the United States; families with children, the mentally ill and veterans.

From the Paper
"In the last 15 years, the United States has seen a tremendous growth in the percentage of the homeless population. One of the fastest growing segments of the homeless population is families with children. Families with children constitute approximately 40% of people who become homeless. A survey of 30 U.S. cities found that in 1998, children accounted for 25% of the homeless population. Families have become much more diverse than the conventional nuclear family. The make up of homeless people has also become more diverse and now includes a larger proportion of homeless families. Families have changed due to the decline in marriages, increased births outside marriage, lower birth rates, and higher rates of divorce and relationship breakdown. Homeless families include single parent families, headed mainly by women, couples with children and couples without children. The U.S. Census indicates that families, single mothers, and children make up the largest group of people who are homeless in rural areas."

Abstract
Canada and the United States are both democracies and federal states. A federal state is one which brings together a number of different political communities "with a common government for common purposes, and separate 'state' or 'provincial' or 'cantonal' governments for the particular purposes of each community" ("Canadian," 2008). Both the Canadian and American system of government stemmed from that of the British Parliamentary System. While the United States' system was reformed into one that solely revolves around serving the president rather than any other part of the government, the Canadian system still cleaves onto the parliamentary system, even retaining the parliamentary name for its Cabinet members, "Ministers".

Abstract
This paper explains that the fighting between South Korea, supported by U.S.A., and North Korea, supported by the Soviets, has created such a long-lasting impact on North Korea that it will never again be able to trust the U.S.A., which also has an effect on the relationship of South Korea and the United States. The author points out that the U.S.A., as the 'Super Power,' utilizes its diplomatic relations with other countries to bring about foreign policies that are beneficial to South Korea. The paper relates that the U.S.A. is the most important economic partner of South Korea, one of the leading investors in the South Korean market, and the second largest export market for the U.S.A.; however, there have been disagreements over the trade policies.

From the Paper
"There is a general opinion that the Pacific War had dragged on for far longer than was necessary, and the Japanese had been willing to surrender a long time before they actually did, if their terms that the Emperor would remain in his position had been accepted earlier. In fact, this was what led to the occupation of Manchuria as well as the division of Korea into two factions, the North and the South. With the occupation of North Korea by the Soviets, there grew tensions along the border, there was a virtual Cold War taking place between the two sides, and since the Koreans are a nation of proud people, they were naturally resentful of those who had caused this division, the United States. The Americans in the meanwhile took an easy way out, and appointed the Japanese as administrators of local affairs in South Korea."

Abstract
This paper discusses how both the United States and South Korea have issues with juvenile delinquency that can be observed from a sociological viewpoint, and how sociology and culture are major influences in the problem of juvenile delinquency in both East and West. Through an examination of the causes of juvenile delinquency in South Korea and the United States, characteristics integral to the problem of juvenile delinquency regardless of culture and geographic location can be isolated with implications for solutions worldwide. The paper concludes that although they are on separate sides of the world, the United States and South Korea face many of the same problems when it comes to juvenile delinquents and how, in both countries, the lack of a definite role for criminal justice personnel is among the contributing factors, as those who struggle to determine how juvenile offenders should be dealt with cannot propose affective solutions. The paper further concludes that it is societal factors--like school, family, and economics-- that play an important role in the forming of U.S. and South Korean juvenile delinquents.

From the Paper
"In South Korea, society has been drastically impacted by the clash of cultures that occurred when traditional Eastern religion and culture met with Western ideas during the 20th century. Criminal justice was no exception. Although the Korean people had traditionally used Chinese law as the basis for their legal culture, such as Confucian ideas, the early 1900s brought with them an influx of Western law, especially European traditions. Further, during Japanese occupation, many traditions of the Japanese criminal justice system infiltrated the Korean traditions, such as the Japanese guarantee of no form of rights. During the late 1900s, however, Western components of criminal justice began to become more characteristic of the Korean system. Civil rights such as legal searches and warrants, the right to counsel, and rules regarding types of evidence admitted to court proceedings. However, the Library of Congress (2009) writes that the culture makes refusing to abide by such rules acceptable (Library of Congress, 2009). With this unique balance of criminal justice ideas, the situation regarding the prosecution of juvenile delinquents in South Korea is precarious. "
