Abstract
This paper explains that the atrocities associated with the once American controlled Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq have been represented visually through a series of oft repeated photographs taken by American guards at the prison. The author points out that these images are of frequently naked, hooded Iraqi prisoners being publicly shamed and tortured by America soldiers, often shown smiling and referring to the spectacle with what can only be described as glee. The paper states that these pictures have left a lasting mark on the face of the war and on the image of the United States all over the world.
From the Paper
"Another issue associated with these grave deeds and their photographic record is the obvious and frequent utilization of nudity as a manner to debase prisoners. The guards are shown fully uniformed (in a show of power over the prisoners) while prisoners, except for the covering of their faces are debased in scenes of immorality completely incongruent with their faith and their pride, yet interestingly congruent with the world view (as it applies to Islam) as it relates to hatred of western freedoms, including the manner in which the west freely depicts nudity and objectifies the body."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the United States' foreign aid policy and the issues of global poverty. It begins by describing the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) and their missions. It then looks at other forms of foreign aid and their contributions to relieving global poverty. The paper concludes that foreign aid policy is not a solution to global poverty.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
The World Trade Organization
The World Health Organization
Other forms of "Foreign Aid"
From the Paper
"Finally, more actions are necessary on the part of larger international institutions if the problem regarding global poverty is ever to be solved. A few of the ways in which this could be resolved is to implement better negotiations and enforcement procedures at the WTO and WHO. Both organizations could adhere to narrower realistic goals within each of their organization's missions. These goals could be reviewed every year, and updated accordingly. For example, individual policies could be reviewed regarding import and export tariffs for agricultural products in an attempt to better regulate the sector. The WHO could begin with measures that would reduce illnesses in poor populations, with the end goal of creating a healthier population. Foreign aid policy needs to be amended to not only support the foreign aid contributor, but also must be in alignment with the developing country that is receiving the aid. Perhaps developing countries need better representation in the WTO and the WHO in order to make sure that foreign aid actually helps them. As a result, these and other organizations could take several actions to reduce world poverty."

Immigration Policy, 2007.
An analysis of the United States' immigration policy with regards to border security and illegal immigration.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of border security in the United States. Specifically, it discusses whether efforts to restructure U.S. immigration policy should focus primarily on securing the nations borders or if the reformers' priority should be facilitating illegal immigrants' ability to obtain a work permit or attain U.S. citizenship.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, securing the borders is necessary for a number of compelling reasons. It will help keep the nation more secure from terrorists and other threats. It will also help stem the tide of illegal immigrants flowing across the border. These illegal immigrants cost the country billions in health care, education, and criminal justice costs, and stopping the flow will help the country both economically and socially. Americans must support the border fence and stronger measures for border security and the entire border must remain secured in the future. Immigration policy should see some reform, and it should be more friendly to immigrants attempting the enter the country through the preferred legal channels. However, the immigration policy must strongly address security of the nation's borders as well. America's safety and security depends on it."

Introduction
History and Analysis
Bibliography
From the Paper
"Regional Integration first started in Europe through the Maastricht Treaty on November 1993. This created the European Union (EU) whose aim was to prevent another war after World War II by joining the countries in economic and political cooperation. Right now, it has 25 member countries making use of a single constitution and a single currency system called the Euro. The EU is the largest and most powerful regional integration effort right now. It evolved from simple economic cooperation into a federation system. At the same time, it was able to maintain each member's sovereignty and national interest. As of 2004, it had the largest economy in the world having a GDP of 12,481,824 million dollars with significant trade surplus ("European Union" n.d.). The main advantages of the EU are: (1) a huge market of 400 million people where member economies can enter without restrictions; (2) freedom of EU citizens to move freely and get jobs within the member countries; and (3) a diverse choice of low-cost goods and services brought about by competition. The disadvantages, however are: (1) The EU has great power that it can dictate the policies and politics of an individual country; (2) the EU is undemocratic, and decisions are made by a single council; (3) too many rules and regulations that promote bureaucracy and unnecessary overhead ("International Organisations - The European Union" n.d)."

U.S Middle East Policy, 2007.
A look at the argument that U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East
is based primarily on securing the flow of affordable oil.
3,467 words (approx. 13.9 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 97.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper contends that American foreign policy towards the Middle East is dictated by oil and that weapons of mass destruction are used as an excuse to impose American will on those that disobey American oil interests. It argues that a continuation of such a policy will only result in making the threat of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East a reality and that countries that cannot counter the immediate and direct threat that America imposes on its regimes if they do not offer a pro-American oil policy have no choice but to develop weapons of mass destruction.
From the Paper
"A major argument for the United States going to war was that Iraq not only had the capabilities to build weapons of mass destruction, but that the program was well under way and that Iraq had connection to terrorist organizations that were capable of utilizing those weapons on American soil. This was a lie and this has been proven to be a lie. No weapons of mass destruction were found and there were no ties between the Iraqi Regime and Al Qaeda. But before we discuss the current war lets go back a few years and take a look at America's decisions or perhaps a lack of decisions to show that the current conflict in Iraq was not because of security risks inherent to the area, but because of American imperialist tendencies.

The Transformation of the Military, 2007.
A review of the transformation of the military from the 70s to current times.
956 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how the military has transformed over a 30-year period. The paper discusses various world issues that have had an impact on this change. The paper concludes by saying that the U.S. military establishment is still a viable and effective fighting force that serves varied missions and tasking, which do indeed make a difference in today's global environment.
From the Paper
"The fall of the Soviet Union gave rise to another call for reducing America's military strength to a supposedly reasonable post-Cold War level. Thus from 1989 to 1999, military end strength was cut from 2.1 million to 1.4 million (Donnelly et al., 2007). The 1990s to the 21st century saw the rise of the "all-volunteer" military force and compared to their brethren in the 70s, the modern day force got better perks and pay including family and social services support system. "When the military became an all-volunteer force, the U.S. undertook an implicit contract with those signing up for military service. In exchange for a young man's or woman's commitment to serve and fight for the nation, the country would provide him or her with decent pay and a chance to raise a family in an American middle-class lifestyle. (Donnelly et al., 2007)" Despite the change in pay and benefits, the amount and load of tasking differ from the two generations of soldier. In the 1970s when tasking get more, the government simply conscripts more soldiers to lend "more warm bodies to more jobs." Today's soldiers most of the time are expected to "do more with less." This results to multiple deployments per cycle and/or extended duties in-theater. Economies of scale simply cannot be put in place unlike in the 1970s where it was still cheap to maintain a soldier. Now with the modern soldier, dollar outputs in pay, training, kit outfitting and other necessities are more making deployment of additional soldiers more expensive especially in the light of numerous budgetary cuts."

Bush and Iraq, 2007.
A paper strongly arguing against the American presence in Iraq.
809 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 28.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper strongly argues that the Iraq War is wrong and that the American people have been misled into supporting it. The author cites Senator Robert Byrd and his anti-Iraq policy as supporting the paper's thesis. The author gives his own opinions why President Bush was so adamant regarding Saddam's capture and overthrow.
From the Paper
"I have said from the beginning of the war that we seem to have forgotten about Bin Laden and simply focused on Saddam. I believe that Bush used the events of 9-11 to gain public support to go after Bin Laden when in fact he really wanted to use our military to go after Saddam for taking a hit out on Bush's dad in the early 90's.
"The Administration assured the U.S. public and the world, over and over again, that an attack was necessary to protect our people and the world from terrorism. It assiduously worked to alarm the public and blur the faces of Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden until they virtually became one(Byrd, 2003)." "

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Marshall Plan played an instrumental role in the Cold War. The writer first describes NATO and the Marshall Plan. The writer notes that the research found that the Marshall Plan was developed in an effort to assist in the rebuilding of European nations following two World Wars. The research also found that NATO is an alliance that was created following the Marshall plan and that NATO was designed to ensure security and stability for the nations that are a part of the alliance. The writer concludes that the research indicates that the Marshall Plan and NATO created a strong alliance between the democratic superpowers led by the United States.

Introduction
NATO and the Marshall Plan
The Marshall Plan
The Connection between NATO and the Marshall Plan
NATO the Marshall Plan and how they affected the Cold War
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Marshall Plan was first brought to the attention of the world in 1947 through a speech presented at Harvard by Secretary of State George C. Marshall. The Marshall plan was formulated following World War II and the purpose of the plan was to assist Europe in rebuilding. According to the United States Department of State, the Marshall plan proposed that the United States give $20 billion to European Nations for relief. However, the monetary contribution was dependent upon the ability of European nations to work together to develop a plan concerning how the money was to be used."
"The Marshall marked the first time that Europe had to act as a unified economic unit. Initially the Marshall Plan offered aid to the Soviet Union and its allies; however, Stalin rejected the plan as a hoax and would not participate."

US "Open Door" Policy Toward China, 2007.
An examination of US foreign policy toward China from 1940-49, highlighting the "open door" policy.
1,219 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay examines whether the US open door policy toward China was consistent and dependable in dealing with the factions during the Chinese civil war in China during 1940-49. The paper analyzes the background and origins of the "open door" policy which date back to the mid 19th century. The paper examines the "open door" policy in light of American isolationism and as the US became a world power following World War II. This policy of limited involvement with China directed US policy until the Chinese Civil War.
From the Paper
" An important, though undeclared, corollary to the policy, however, was that the United States was not willing to risk war to enforce its open door policy and its main foreign policy interest lay in Europe rather than Asia. This resulted in a number of serious setbacks for the policy, particularly during the Sino-Japanese war as well as the Chinese Civil War in which the Nationalists and the Communists were engaged in a bitter civil war for power in the country. Since the US was unwilling to use force, the most it could do was to use diplomacy to enforce the "open door." Such a lukewarm approach in support of a policy could, at best, be only partially successful and when the 'open door' was pointedly ignored by the Japanese during its seizure of Manchuria in 1931 and the subsequent full-fledged Sino-Japanese war in 1937, the US could do little to prevent its violation."

Conflict Resolution and Diplomacy, 2007.
A discussion of the benefits of using diplomacy over military action to resolve international conflicts.
1,244 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores the pros and cons of war versus diplomacy. The author argues that skilled diplomacy could have avoided the US entry into World War II, as well as other major military conflicts. The paper further states that defeat of an opponent ought not to be the ultimate aim in a conflict. Achieving long-term goals in international relations are more important and possible through diplomacy rather than by violent means such as military action.
From the Paper
" The period between 1930 and 1956 was probably the most turbulent era in recent human history. It saw the start and end of the Great Depression that destroyed the economies of most of the industrial world at one time; witnessed the rise of expansionist fascist powers in Europe and the Far-East resulting in probably the bloodiest conflict in human history; the gradual change of the US foreign policy from isolationism to intervention in the Second World War; the victory of the Allies over the Axis powers; the emergence of the US and the USSR as the two major world powers and the start of almost half a century of a Cold War between them, besides the American involvement in the eventually stalemated Korean War."

The Burke Conciliation, 2007.
A discussion regarding Edmund Burke's 1775 speech on conciliation with America.
897 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 31.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the Edmund Burke's conciliation speech. According to the paper, Edmund Burke's speech urges Parliament to adopt a more sensible approach to the colonies to ensure not only peace but political and economic obeisance. The paper reports that Burke believed that conciliation with the colonies would help Britain prosper and continue their dominion on both sides of the Atlantic.
From the Paper
"Furthermore, Burke points out that disputes with the colonies are causing Britain to become "distracted" from its political and economic goals. Those goals not only include peace, order and "repose" but also imperial strength and integrity. Burke appeals to the British desire for colonial expansion, with all the political and economic benefits derived from it. His concern for the well-being of the colonies themselves is rooted solely in the view that the colonies were British by birth and should remain British in character and loyalty. The British colonies were pushing for greater liberty, manifest in self-governance and independence from the Crown. Burke argues that avowing colonial independence will lead to greater trust and further political cohesion between the New and Old Worlds. He criticizes "the labyrinth of intricate and endless negotiations" that Parliament had been engaging in with the colonies."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the different business practices and customs of Russia and of the USA. According to the paper, Russian - American business relations have been characterized by the 2001 agreement between President Bush and President Putin in which both countries decided their "determination to foster a new dynamic in American-Russian economic interaction".
From the Paper
"Russian - American business relations in recent years are characterized by the 2001 agreement between President Bush and President Putin in which both countries decided their "determination to foster a new dynamic in American-Russian economic interaction" (The White House, 2001). Both nations are now set on a course of increased trade with a group of elite business men attending a summit in Washington DC in 2005 as a major step in the constantly improving business relations between the United States and Russia (Russian Embassy, 2007). The United States and Russia are thus important business partners as American investment in Russia has increased to $6.3 billion in 2005 (Russian Embassy, 2007). Furthermore, Presidents of both countries have "expressed their support of the initiative by Russian and U.S. business communities to launch the Russian-American Business Dialogue as a permanent communication channel between the business circles and the government agencies of the two countries involved" (Russian Embassy, 2007)."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses Hezbollah, a militant-terrorist organization. According to the paper, Hezbollah is the driving force behind marches and organizing people in Lebanon and in Palestine in its never ending quest to make war on Israel. The paper further reports that the problem is that Hezbollah seems much better at social agendas than at political ones.
Outline:
Introduction
Social Agenda
Economically
The Murder of Rafik Hariri
2006 Showdown Between Hezbollah, Syria, Iran and Israel
From the Paper
"This could perhaps be perceived as Hezbollah's attempt to take a giant leap forward in its political representation of Lebanon, and to firmly establish itself in that country in a way that would be the precursor to installing a theocratic Islamic state. There is the possibility, too, that Tehran was running short of patience with the slow progress in that direction, and wanted immediately to create a recognized and forceful extension of itself in Lebanon, and thusly be well positioned geographically to confront the issues of Israel and the American presence in Iraq. This is speculation, since there is no way of knowing exactly what was said and done between Hezbollah and Tehran at that time. What is undeniably clear is the destruction and death that followed."

Josip Broz Tito, 2007.
A discussion of Josip Broz Tito's impact on Yugoslavia.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper gives an in-depth examination of Josip Broz Tito's impact on his native Yugoslavia, including the social and political changes he influenced. The author first explores Tito's family background and the socio-economic conditions in which he grew up. Tito's involvement with radical communism and his military service during World War I are also described. The paper emphasizes Tito's leadership skills, citing his ability to galvanize Yugoslavia's various ethnic minorities against the Nazis. The paper also highlights Tito's post-war political leadership as being somewhat independent of the Soviet model of communism. The author concludes that Tito was one of the most remarkable persons of the twentieth century.
From the Paper
"In order to understand the psyche of any person, it is important to examine his family background and the socio-economic conditions in which he grows up. Josip Broz was born into a family of peasants in the Croatian town of Kumrovec, when Croatia was still a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His parents were desperately poor, as were most of the other Croatian peasants. Moreover, Croatians suffered from cruel economic discrimination and forced "Magyarization" at the hands of the Hungarians. Prospects for a clever young man such as Josip Broz in such an environment were decidedly bleak. Forced to work at the age of 15, Josip was unable to keep a proper job for long and soon got involved in trade union activities, which were mainly inspired by the teachings of Karl Marx (Rezun, 1995, pp. 85-86)."

War in Iraq War on Terror, 2007.
A discussion of how the war in Iraq and war on terror became linked as election issues.
2,646 words (approx. 10.6 pages), 13 sources, MLA, $ 79.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this paper the author argues that the war in Iraq was utilized as a persuasive tool to win an election, in which the war was linked to the more global and less definable "war on terrorism." The author further contends that in the 2004 presidential elections the voters were seeking security, and therefore they linked the two issues. This paper demonstrates that the war on terror and the war in Iraq are not connected and in fact contraindicated for the long term safety of the US, specifically with regard to future acts of terrorism. Salient quotes from primary and secondary sources are used to support the author's thesis.
From the Paper
"The importance and reality of this link are now being questioned at every level. People, in both high and low places are questioning the validity of the connection and asking if this aggressive move, on the part of the US, even in the face of much international opposition was in fact appropriate to improve security in the US and her interests all over the world. The political positioning that has become increasingly obvious has undermined the faith of individuals in the nature and necessity of the War in Iraq, as people feel they were sold a bill of goods, rather than leveled with in regards to the strategic importance of the Iraq in the global war on terrorism in both the short and log term. In fact this work argues that the only connection between the war on terrorism and the War on Iraq is that the later has and will continue to serve to increase terrorist activities and actions against the US, no matter how the government spins it."

International Sweatshops, 2007.
An examination of the ethical aspects of international sweatshops.
1,779 words (approx. 7.1 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the issue of international sweatshops, particularly in China. It will also look at how to control or eliminate these sweatshops. The paper mentions some of the companies that use sweatshops and the actual conditions in which the employees must work. Also examined are the critics of the sweatshops and the attention they bring to the issue and the reforms they are attempting to institute. The author also considers the problems associated with establishing standards in the sweatshops, especially regarding wages and working conditions. The author concludes with suggestions for developing these standards.
From the Paper
"In China, the government suppresses any union activity, thereby ensuring these companies of workers who will make no demands of their employers (Maitland, DATE, p. 584). These companies are not only supporting poor working conditions for their workers and families, they are contributing to the economy of a government that suppresses and represses its people. However, Chinese workers are not the only workers who have to endure terrible conditions. Authors Arnold and Bowie continue about shops in El Salvador, "In the majority of companies, it is an obligation of the personnel to work overtime under the threat of firing or some other kind of reprisal" (Arnold and Bowie, DATE, 597). In Mexico, a 26-year-old worker notes, "I start out the shift okay, but after about three hours of work, I feel a lot of sharp pains in my fingers. It gets so bad that I can't hold the steering wheel correctly. But still the supervisors keep pressuring me to reach 100 percent of my production" (Arnold and Bowie, DATE, p. 597). Thus, workers face conditions that few American workers would stand for, but they have no rights and no recourse to change the situation."

Switzerland, 2007.
An examination of Switzerland's changing political environment.

»

Abstract
This paper examines the changing political outlooks of Switzerland, both domestic and international. The author gives a brief history of Swiss neutrality, describing the Swiss position during and following World War II. The author then illustrates how this is changing, especially in light of Switzerland joining the United Nations and the EU. The three levels of government within Switzerland are also discussed. The author concludes by praising Switzerland for its tolerance and not being involved in open warfare for the past 300 years.
From the Paper
"Overall, there are three levels of government in Switzerland--communal, cantonal and national. Of the 23 cantons, three of them, being Appenzell, Basel and Walden, are divided into halves to create the normal total of 26. The most recent canton is Jura which achieved its independence from Bern, the capital city, in 1979. This form of government is known as a bicameral system (i.e., based on two legislative chambers) with the Federal Assembly being responsible for national laws (Sigg, 214). In the U.S., there is only one legislative branch, made up of the Congress and the House of Representatives. The lower chamber is called the National Council with 200 members from the 26 cantons in proportion to population size, similar in nature to the U.S. House of Representatives. The upper chamber, known as the States Council, is composed of 46 members with two per canton, similar to the U.S. Congress with congressmen and women from all 50 states."

American Isolationist Policies, 2007.
This paper examines the effects of America becoming more isolationist in its economic and foreign policies.
3,025 words (approx. 12.1 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 88.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This analysis examines the current isolationist policies adopted by the United States with regards to its foreign policy agenda. The paper examines when the current American attitude towards isolationism began and the considerations that led to this trend. The paper provides a detailed cost and benefits analysis of these policies. The paper notes the economic, political, militaristic and social benefits of the current isolationist policy for the United States but reveals that they are all short lived. The paper contends that for the government to continue this policy at the cost of engendering international alienation and condemnation is unthinkable.
From the Paper
"The first and most obvious question to consider, is when the current American attitude towards isolationism began. After all, it was a strong consideration for world affairs and multilateral cooperatives that resulted in the Allies victory in World War II. Even in the decades after, American interest in containing the Communist bloc led to unprecedented creations of multilateral protectionism and aid agreements. No defining events seems obvious that would attribute the current state of isolationist policy to something tangible and concrete. Sanford Ungar noted in a research analysis in 1985 that "the United States is estranged from the world - separate, aloof more alone than even the most cynical of pessimistic observers might have predicted in the heyday of American postwar power" (Ungar, 120). Ungar's research indicates that as early as 1982, with Reaganomics still the foundation of economic recovery in America, the country's foreign policy approach turned decisively isolationist."

Operation Desert Storm, 2003.
A review of the Gulf War otherwise known as Operation Desert Storm, as a catalyst for Islamist opposition to the Saudi Arabian royal family.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the role of Saudi Arabia in Operation Desert Storm. According to the paper, the Saudi royal family was harshly criticized as being a traitor to Muslim countries and Muslim values, for the role it played in the Gulf War. The paper goes on to discuss how, due to the fact that Saudi Arabia is home to some of Islam's most sacred shrines, the royal family's acceptance of US military troops on Saudi territory was not regarded well by Islamic communities.
From the Paper
"Agreeing to become the ally of US and the coalition forces during the Gulf War was seen by extremist movements and Islamic opponents of the Saudi royal family as an act of betrayal of Islamic values. Perhaps if the terrorist cells that later terrorized the world were not belonging to Saudi Arabia and were not operating from its territory, Saudi involvement in the war wouldn't have been seen as an act of betrayal. But since this was not the case, the royal family was regarded as fraternizing with the enemy of these terrorist groups and so, the position against the royal family was strong and firm."
