Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the United States claims equality and tolerance as part of its national policy. The writer points out that while this has been somewhat challenged since the 9/11 attacks, many Americans still feel that the country advocates the values of humanity over those of racial or ethnic segregation. It is therefore tragic when racial conflicts and hatred attacks occur, particularly among the young. The writer discusses that one example of racial conflict is the "Jena Six" controversy. The writer explains that the case involves six black high school students who were arrested on charges of allegedly trying to beat a white classmate to death. The writer also provides her personal opinion on the incident and how it was treated by the justice system.
From the Paper
"Being racial in nature, the case has also attracted the attention of civil rights activists, bloggers and black radio hosts. Many of these persons criticized the events leading to the court case and conviction, citing unequal justice as their opinion on the matter. Indeed, even the Rev. Jesse Jackson has been inspired to fight for justice until all the charges against the Jena 6 are dropped, and the American Civil Liberties Union is investigating the case for possible evidence of racial disparity. Kovach cites studies finding that African-Americans are incarcerated at nearly six times the rate of whites. Many reasons are cited for this, including the poverty level of certain ethnic groups, as well as the assumption of criminality that is associated not only with the poverty level, but also with the specific ethnic group."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that power and leadership are not exactly the same thing, of course, but they are inextricably interrelated for without power, effective leadership would not be possible and without leadership, power would be rendered useless. To help shed some light on these concepts from a modern perspective, this paper provides a review and analysis of three ancient texts, "Genesis", "Epic of Gilgamesh" and "Lysistrata" to better understand how they addressed the respective themes of leadership and power. A discussion concerning how leaders come to power, their responsibilities, real and symbolic, and what responsibilities citizens of a given society have in choosing leaders or in holding leaders accountable for their actions is followed by an analysis of the types of recourses available for citizens to use against tyranny and how these trends continue to impact the modern understanding of leadership. A summary of the research and salient findings are presented in the conclusion.
Outline:
Introduction
Review and Discussion
Background and Overview
How Leaders Come to Power
Real and Symbolic Responsibilities of Leaders
Responsibilities of the Citizenry in Choosing Leaders and Holding Them Accountable for Their Actions
Types of Recourses Available to Citizens to Use against Tyranny
Impact of These Trends on the Modern Understanding of Leadership
Conclusion
From the Paper
"States do today in Iraq by simply declaring victory and bringing the troops home. In this regard, the Greek men may have had the power to wage war, but Lysistrata and her like-minded female counterparts were able to clearly demonstrate who possessed the real power in Athenian society by exercising in a fashion that was for the good of all.
"Such positive outcomes are not always associated with leaders, of course, but it would be reasonable to posit that one of the real responsibilities of leaders is to ensure the welfare and safety of those they lead, and this assessment is borne out time and again in Genesis (as heavily influenced by the Epic of Gilgamesh). More symbolic responsibilities of these early leaders including providing a heroic role model and inspiring their followers to endure the hardships that always seem to go hand in hand with achieving great deeds."

Islam and Terrorism, 2008.
This paper explores the clash between Islamic and Western civilization.
873 words (approx. 3.5 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 31.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper attempts to trace the fundamental differences between Islamic and Western civilizations. The paper examines the roots of the feeling of resentment and inferiority shared by most Muslims and sheds light on Islamic religion and mentality. The paper looks at terrorism in the Middle East and explains that despair and religious extremism commonly go hand in hand.
From the Paper
"In order to understand the clash between the Islamic and the Western civilizations, it is important to trace the fundamental differences which separate these two cultures. The most pronounced discrepancy when trying to decode the ways of functioning of the two cultures results from the opposite perception of religion. The Islamic world is inclined toward more violent ways of manifesting their religious belief; nonetheless, this is linked to their feeling of being treated as inferior. The violent manifestation of belief is generated by a widespread perception that the Islamic religion is superior to any other religion, and must be treated as such. "

The Intrastate Conflict in Sudan, 2008.
A discussion on the political desire to achieve peace in the Sudan region with the establishment of a framework for an open dialogue path between the parties.

Abstract
The paper reminds us that the African continent is one of the most volatile regions in the world. Sudan is currently the focus of attention in the international community. From the perspective of the general peace process, the paper confirms that progress has been made in all areas. The United Nations played a significant part in moderating the talks through its UNMIS monitors and ensuring the implementation of the provisions agreed upon in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed in 2005. The paper notes that the government in Khartoum is forced by international donors and through economic sanctions to comply with the rules and decisions taken at the negotiation table in respect to the North South conflict. The paper underlines the major breakthroughs achieved since the 1993 establishment of the Intergovernmental Authority for Development.
Outline:
Introduction
Historical Background of the North South Conflict
Peace talks
Protocol.
Darfur
Conclusion
From the Paper
"This is due to the continuous struggles for reaching a positive agreement between the conflicting parties in the country, as well as the failure to establish a comprehensive means to respecting and implementing the already agreed upon ceasefires, protocols, and agreements. At the same time though, the lack of efficiency in the actions undergone is also the result of the complexity of the issues under discussion, taking into account the dimension of the conflicts present in Sudan. In this sense, on the one hand, there is the unsolved conflict between the North and the South of the country, and, on the other hand, there is the escalating humanitarian and security crisis in the Western part of the state, in Darfur. From this perspective, any possible peace agreement must take into account both levels of conflict and deal with them in terms of local solutions as well as a national one."

Review and Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"William J. Donovan was born on New Year's Day in 1883, and died seventy-six years later on February 8, 1959 (Troy 23). According to this biographer, Donovan's grandparents, both were Irish Catholics who had immigrated to the United States and settled in Buffalo, New York, in a predominantly Irish neighborhood of the First Ward near the waterfront (Troy 23). "His parents," a relative of the family wrote, "also Irish and Catholic, lived in the grandparents' big, high-stooped brick house at 74 Michigan Street" (William's brother, Rev. Vincent Donovan, quoted by Troy at 23). William was the couple's first child who added the name Joseph at his Confirmation (Troy 23)."

U.S. Foreign Policy, 2008.
An analysis of the role of the U.S. and Great Britain in the outbreak of the Cold War.
1,058 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the revisionist views of Walter LaFeber, Arnold Offner and John Gaddis with regards to the outbreak of the Cold War. It specifically focuses on their claim that the USA and Great Britain were also responsible for the outbreak of the Cold War, as their strategy of foreign policy was short-sighted and, in many respects, lacked responsibility for the future.
From the Paper
"Drawing a conclusion, it's important to note that the ideas of revisionist authors such as Walter LaFeber, Arnold Offner and John Gaddis are based on rationalism, yet evaluation of definite political issues is made from the perspective of people who are free of "western propaganda". The cold war was inevitable already, at the end of WWII, as both super powers revealed its potential, which was hidden and undervalued in pre-war years. The Marshall Plan, which in many respects accelerated the coming of the Cold War, was also inevitable, due to the popularity of communist and socialist ideas in France, Italy and Germany, especially in years of reconstruction, when European nations lacked economic stability and bearable conditions of living. The collapse of the colonial system with its unpredictable circumstances was also more a fault of former empires, than a fault of the USA, as none of the empires appeared able to control political and social processes in their former colonies."

U.S. Intelligence Revolution, 2008.
This paper looks at the changes that have taken place in the field of intelligence in the United States and discusses that further transformations are required.
1,840 words (approx. 7.4 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 59.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the transformations that occurred in the intelligence field after the Second World War and during the Cold War brought up what can be called an intelligence revolution because of the nature of these transformations. The writer points out that the United States experienced a rapid growth in military technique, but there was also an unprecedented international willingness to share intelligence. Considering these changes, the impact of the intelligence revolution on the evolution of the United States was considerable. The writer maintains that the technological developments in the intelligence field during the Cold War caused an intelligence revolution in the US which made it possible for the United States to have a great advantage over its enemies. The writer concludes that the supremacy of US intelligence has not been questioned until 2001, after the terrorist attacks. More and more voices now call for another intelligence revolution that would adapt the U.S. to the new circumstances.
From the Paper
"Before the Second World War the American intelligence was at a very low level, at least comparing to what followed. There was little valuable intelligence information related to the Soviet Union, Germany or Japan which was taken directly from the source, through field agents. American intelligence was mostly directed against internal threats represented by communist supporters and later, Nazi agents. However, this was the period when the transformations in the intelligence field began. US agents were making strides in code breaking and the organization of intelligence services began to function a little more complex.
"The message encoding represented the first step towards a more elaborate intelligence. This was most noticeable after the Pearl Harbour attacks and was focused especially on the Japanese. US efforts for cracking Japanese military messages intensified after the attacks and the leader in this effort was the Combat Intelligence Unit belonging to the US Navy. Due to the technical evolution, the US military was able to crack the Japanese code and intercept thousands of messages during the World War II."

Universal Human Rights, 2008.
Argues that the Bible cannot be used as a substitute for a declaration of universal human rights.
1,250 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that it is necessary to have a universal declaration of human rights to which all countries must refer because the Bible is not enough to enforce these rights. The paper relates that even if the Bible did teach about universal human rights, it would not be a persuasive document for many of the world's countries because there are very few purely religious states. Furthermore, the majority of the world's people are not Christian. In addition, the Bible itself is very murky on several human rights issues. Next, in order to establish why the Bible cannot substitute for a universal declaration of human rights, the paper provides an explanation of what such a universal declaration would actually mean. The paper explains that the tenets that would comprise the universal declaration of human rights are not necessarily espoused by the Bible.
From the Paper
"In addition, many human rights activists believe that the death penalty is a de facto violation of human rights, regardless of the guilt or innocence of the person to be executed and the nature of the crime committed by that person. However, the Bible clearly endorses the application of the death penalty. Moreover, the Bible endorses the use of the death penalty in areas where most of the modern world has determined its use to be inappropriate. Amaziah executed his father's assassins, and the Bible described him as doing "what was right in the eyes of the LORD.""

Abstract
This paper examines Jonathan Kozol's arguments in his article entitled, "Still Separate, Still Unequal," in which he criticizes the educational system practiced in the urban areas of the United States. The paper discusses the claims that Kozol makes against the educational system in these areas and discusses the problems that he highlights.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Discussion
From the Paper
"The author has criticized the educational department for restricting the 'opportunity for preschool education for no reason but the accident of birth and budgetary choices of the government, while children of the privileged are often given veritable feasts of rich developmental early education' (Kozol, 2005). The quality of the students and their performance has great demarcation on the basis of the financial capability of the families of the students. The rich parents are able to provide better education to their children at very young stage which is responsible for the development of 'social competence and rudimentary pedagogic skills' (Kozol, 2005). However such skills are lacked by the students who are the residents of deprived and poverty inflicted neighborhood. The economic spectrum has been responsible for the excessive differences between the students of the respective segments. The author has referred to the pre-schooling system of Milwaukee, where most of the students initiate their pre-school at the age of four, however in such urban areas the lower income families are denied opportunities to register their children for pre-school education."

Global Warming, 2008.
This paper discusses the causes of global warming and looks at actions to reduce the damage.
1,900 words (approx. 7.6 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 60.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that global warming occurs when the earth's average atmospheric temperature increases and leads to corresponding changes in climate. It may also be the consequence of a strong greenhouse effect. The writer points out that when the green house effect is strong, the earth's temperature becomes warmer than usual and creates problems for human beings, animals and plants. The writer maintains that the very real threat of global warming requires rising from the denial stage and assuming a genuine science-based approach to confront it. Minimizing political and economic damage is no longer the issue. The writer concludes that the survival of the species and the environment can no longer be denied or overlooked.
From the Paper
"Increased heat is only one of the dire consequences of global warming. When the amount of trapped heat reaches a certain level and becomes steady, heat waves may happen more frequently. Localized diseases may spill out into farther areas of the globe and for shorter periods each year. These diseases may also stay longer in those afflicted. Deadly gases and other airborne irritants will also soar as the atmospheric temperature rises. Lung diseases will also increase. Global warming is not only a portentous probability threatening to occur. Gleaned from its symptoms, it has already snuffed out thousands of life. Doctors and scientists have notice the rise in asthma and other respiratory cases among the young in inner cities with the increase of atmospheric temperature. The condition is believed to continue and get worse as carbon dioxide and the other gases become more concentrated in the air and the earth's climate gets warmer. Regions in Western Europe, which were stricken with heat waves, had longer and unusually warmer and dry weather. These regions included Switzerland, Italy and France."

Abstract
This paper explains that the safety, health and happiness of so many Nigerian citizens is depending on the administration of the new president, Umaru Yar'Adua. The paper points out the need for Nigeria to have true democratic elections instead of flawed elections and discusses other pressing issues facing Nigeria including environmental problems, the plight of the poor people in rural Nigeria and the AIDS/HIV epidemic. The writer concludes that she dreams of a country free of corruption, which provides a good education, dependable housing and police protection for all people.
From the Paper
"There are other issues I hope you can work on, as well, Mr. President. Shell Oil, as you know, has been allowing gas flares to burn and burn and burn. Many groups have protested against the burning of these gases, which are a product of the production of crude oil. This is a terrible abuse of our environment. For one thing it contributes to global warming, and for another, it hurts the air that our citizens breathe. Chevron, Texaco, and Mobil are also exploiting our people by polluting our air - and to top it off, money these American oil companies are making is not shared fairly with Nigerians."

Great Powers, 2008.
The writer examines the concept of a great power and discusses states in terms of major powers.
1,658 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 9 sources, APA, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how, in order to ascertain the degree to which states exercise their power, it is first necessary to properly analyze the components which define great powers - that is the political, military, and, most importantly, economic components. The writer then discusses several theories that quantify power in terms of these components, noting that there have been numerous examples of great powers that have exercised their political, military, and economic influence throughout the centuries. Next, the writer examines the current international scene and asserts that, at this time, the international scene is not dominated by a great power, nor should it be. The paper concludes that, while there have been numerous examples of great powers that have exercised their political, military, and economic influence throughout the centuries, at this time, and taking into account the current evolutions in international affairs in terms of security, financial supremacy and political diversity, it is hard to find a state that would fit the traditional definition of a great power.
From the Paper
"However, the range of their power cannot be compared to any subsequent definitions of the term great power due to the fact that at the time, the Hellenistic world was considered to be the only one available for states to claim. In this sense, one cannot look at the magnitude of their influence but from a military perspective. Nonetheless, in all confrontations that took place at the time victory resulted in the political domination of the adversary. The Macedonian empire under the rule of Alexander exercised complete political control over the territories it conquered. Even so, neither example can be certified as being but regional powers because of the limited amount of time they manifested their dominance."

The English System - Order out of Chaos, 2008.
An analysis of the theories of the English School of International Relations with regards to order versus chaos.
2,260 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the English School of International Relations' stress upon cooperation and order, rather than upon chaos, within the international system. It discusses their theories and their arguments and then specifically looks at why according to the English School of International Relations, there is such a high degree of order in the international system.
From the Paper
"Within these spheres of overlap there is also a possibility to cement as well as destabilize a nation and a world. An American of Jewish origin may support the existence of Israel, for example, and draw attention to the plight of the Middle East, stimulating interest in this region of the world within his or her own nation. An economic alliance between two corporations generates a community, and a mutual interest in regional stability, as well as an opportunity of human beings working in a foreign land to better understand another culture. The potential for community ties thus is just as great as the potential of non-state communities to strain the borders of nations and to influence national politics--and thus, the 'center' does 'hold.'"

The Rise of China, 2008.
Explores the possibility of peace, stability and prosperity of Southeast Asia, given the rise of China.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper states that China has recovered its larger economic, political and military stature in East Asia and is becoming a major power in the world. This ominous development is of supreme concern and interest to the United States. The author discusses China's complex relationship with Taiwan and its apprehension about Japan's agreement with the United States on a theater missile defense (TMD) system and on launching spy satellites. The paper explains the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the concern of China about the nuclearization of India, Pakistan and North Korea.
From the Paper
"Although almost all states in the world signed the NPT, the world remained insecure and at the brink of nuclear proliferation and disaster. Observers and critics believe that preventing this would require States with nuclear capabilities to reconsider their stand on a higher moral standpoint and discard their nuclear modernization programs. Israel, India, Pakistan and North Korea, for example, needed to terminate their respective programs and agendas, using nuclear weapons."

The Impact of Terrorism, 2008.
This paper explores the economic consequences of a terror attack in general and of 9/11 in particular.
4,208 words (approx. 16.8 pages), 17 sources, APA, $ 112.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that the economic results of terrorism can be broken down into short-term direct effects; medium-term confidence consequences and longer-term productivity impacts. The paper reveals that the impact of 9/11 was not as considerable as would have been expected, but emphasizes that industries and organizations must implement measures to prepare for another such attack. The paper asserts that it is not a question 'if' there will be another attack, it is a question of 'when'.
From the Paper
"When a terrorism attack hits a country, such as September 11, 2001, naturally the citizens of that nation are most affected. They are the ones who are immediately impacted by the injuries and deaths of peers, friends and loved ones, the shut down of production and services, and the psychological and physical long-term effects. However, such an attack also impacts the rest of the world economically, either through the way that the national organizations have difficulty fulfilling their international obligations or the way that other countries perceive that they, too, are being threatened by these same terrorists."

Living Wage, 2008.
An discussion on the idea of a living wage, which has been considered in a number of ordinances across the US.
1,663 words (approx. 6.7 pages), 11 sources, APA, $ 54.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper states that the movement for a living wage is gaining traction, though proponents still have a long way to go to make this a reality across most of the country. The paper comments that opponents still claim that such laws will destroy the economy, and they do so in spite of studies showing that the laws do no such thing and may even bring major benefits. The paper confirms that the issue is unsettled but also coming to the fore. The paper discusses the battle over living wage ordinances, which is currently being fought, one municipality at a time, though the time may come when a larger law is sought and passed to cover an entire state.
From the Paper
"The idea of a living wage has been embodied in a number of different types of ordinance across the country, sometimes directed at all retail establishments, sometimes at only one type of business. An ordinance in Baltimore is one of the most common type applying to contractors, and in Baltimore, any contractor providing services to the city must pay employees at least $7.90 an hour. In Detroit, the ordinance calls for a payment of $8.83 per hour and applies to city contractors and recipients of subsidies, including nonprofits. In Pittsburgh, the cost is $7.73 per hour with benefits, and the law applies to city employees, city contractors, recipients of subsidies, and businesses and contractors that receive tax breaks or other assistance from the city. Santa Monica in California is considering the most extensive such ordinance, this one calling for $9.45 per hour with benefits applying to all businesses with fifty or more employees in the city's tourist center and to all companies doing business with the city or receiving grants or subsidies from the city."

American Identity, 2008.
A discussion of how an American identity has developed from the essentials set forth in the Declaration of Independence.
1,211 words (approx. 4.8 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores how the two beliefs in the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal and that any government derives its power from the people form the essence of what it means to be an American. With this as basis, the American identity is not a single identity at all but a varied one applicable to people from different backgrounds, races, classes, and cultures. The writer explains that there is a belief system based on equality, fairness, optimism, the rule of law, and a sense of self-reliance that connects such diverse groups Southerners, Americans of the Northeast, and Americans of the Far West, and that freedom to make personal choices is the real key to the American identity.
From the Paper
"Certainly, much of American history tests the first premise, for to state it is one thing, while to live it is another. When the United States was formed, some were clearly more equal than others in spite of the rhetoric. Still, a belief in equality has been and remains a central belief in the American identity, even if the reality sometimes fails to match the ideal. As can be seen with reference to the second basic tenet, Americans from the first have also distrusted the power of government and do so even if they believe in that power to effect beneficial change. One can see distrust of government throughout the political spectrum in America."

"Who's Reading Over Your Shoulder?", 2008.
A critical analysis of Zara Gelsey's article "Who's Reading Over Your Shoulder?".
878 words (approx. 3.5 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 31.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Zara Gelsey carefully builds a clear link between watching over your shoulder activity and the Patriot Act in her article "Who's Reading Over Your Shoulder?" The paper discusses the Gelsey's dispassionate stance on the issue and how, although she has the same concerns as everyone else, she has presented them very objectively as to make the argument based more on logic than passion alone.
From the Paper
"Once the tone has been set, the author delves into the real purpose of the article. The Patriot Act is what the author wants to comment on. She carefully builds a clear link between watching over your shoulder activity and the Patriot Act. The reader is not asked to do the job of linking up since author has done that very well. But it is not exactly the Act itself that is the main issue; it is the activities that are undertaken due to this Act which seem to bother the author. And the main activity discussed in the article is FBI's access into a person's reading interests and activities."

Insurance and Hurricane Katrina, 2008.
This paper discusses the policies of the insurance industry in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
2,060 words (approx. 8.2 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 64.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how hurricane Katrina highlighted the inadequacy of insurance coverages offered. The paper also reveals the fraud of insurance agencies in depriving homeowners of rightful payments. The paper examines the various lawsuits and legal issues and discusses the campaign waged by the insurance industry to keep the courts from making insurance policies and to keep judges adhering to pro-business policies. The paper shows how many federal and state laws are both confusing and contradictory and largely shaped for the benefit of the insurance companies.
From the Paper
"The tragic circumstances surrounding the appearance of hurricane Katrina some two years ago highlighted a number of problems and issues facing not only the people of New Orleans and environs but all Americans. One such issue is often spotlighted after a disaster of this sort, and that issue is the inadequacy of much of the insurance coverage offered. In addition, as with hurricane Katrina, insurance agencies are accused of defrauding their policyholders by reporting falsified inspections of properties and so depriving those policyholders of rightful payments."
