Summary and Conclusion

From the Paper
"Imagine, if you will, for a moment that a disaster occurred in a town very familiar, a community, whether urban or rural, where in past local occurrences each agency went about its appointed duty without interrupting one another, and this has traditionally been the case in the United States. Then suddenly a disaster such as Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans occurs and the new agencies developed by Homeland Security come into the area and communication channels get crossed with tasks being duplicated and others being left undone, neglected perhaps. Strategies that can be shared, integrated and coordination through use of technological tools offer the possibility for unprecedented coordination among law-enforcement, private security and public service providers in the event of such a catastrophe or disaster."

From the Paper
"Governor Wilson commented that the border, which separates Mexico and Southern California are contoured to let a steady supply of illegal immigrants into the US (Hanson 1994). That border is porous enough to make the passage easy and frequent, like every day. These illegal aliens come to the US mainland to work, to study or even to commit crimes. In reaction to Medi-Cal-connected frauds, Governor Wilson increased the number of investigators from 66 to 101. Many of those crossing the border had no birth certificate, no Social Security number or any other identification. This made the job of fraud investigators quite difficult. But what was really frustrating about the policy was that many of the services secured or given these undocumented aliens were not available to legal residents themselves. Yet these federal policies were sustained by taxpayers' money. There was indication of bipartisan support for the initiative in California."

Kim Jong-II, 2008.
This paper provides a book review of 'Kim Jong-II: North Korea's Dear Leader' by Michael Breen.
1,621 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 52.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the purpose and thesis of Michael Breen's biography of North Korea's leader Kim Jong II is neatly encapsulated in its deliberately ironic title: 'Kim Jong-II, North Korea's Dear Leader'. The writer points out that North Korea is considered a rogue state by most of the world. It is a dictatorship with a nuclear program that seeks to threaten the West. President Bush has identified Jong's nation as one of the members of an "Axis of Evil" that threatens freedom and democracy all over the world. The writer notes that it is the only non-Islamic nation that is a part of this so-called Axis. The writer discusses that Breen attempts to strike a balance between the inflated rhetoric by the current U.S. administration and the truth of North Korea's brutality, without endorsing blind hatred of North Korea or defending the dictator Jong's actions towards the North Korean people.

From the Paper
"The analogy with the way that the administration treated Saddam Hussein in its rhetoric and Kim Jong II seems inevitable, not in terms of the policy or culture of the two nations but in terms of the polarizing rhetoric that is used--like Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong II mistreats his citizens and uses his position for personal gain, rather than to benefit his state and he permits no dissent amongst his people. But simply calling a nation evil is not a portrait of the nation and does nothing, Breen argues, to facilitate understanding the nation or making the nation listen to the United States' demands or desires.
"But here, the value of this analogy with Korea and its fellow Axis of Evil nations ends, for unlike other nations, North Korea is unique in its insularity as a society, which makes some of Breen's research difficult and means that many of its citizens have never been exposed to the West."

The U.S. Patriot Act of 2001, 2008.
Examines the U.S. Patriot Act of 2001 and issues of privacy versus security.
2,645 words (approx. 10.6 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 79.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper explains that the U.S. Patriot Act of 2001, which was enacted on October 26, 2001, came to be regarded as an important source in the US' fight against terrorism. Rushed in to law in the wake of 9/11, the paper relates that the Patriot Act widens significantly the extent of government powers regarding confinement of non-citizens for an indefinite period and searches, arrests and scrutiny based on lower levels of reason and stages of judicial review. The paper points out that this wide ranging Act is being debated because it is perceived to interfere with constitutional privacy safeguards and yet this country must have the powers to protect itself against future terrorists attacks.

From the Paper
"There were several instances in which Muslims and those of foreign Asian origin were facing troubles in the name of security. Groups of federal agents on March 20-21, 2002, with the US Customer Services as their head combed Muslim houses, businesses, educational institutions, and establishments in Northern Virginia in a chain of raids entitled Operation Green Quest. The searches scared and enraged the Mohammedans as agents smashed doors, chained people, and made seizures of private property arraying from PCs to children's toys."

History Repeats Itself, 2008.
A persuasive paper that highlights the similarities between the Vietnam war and the Iraq war today.
1,629 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 53.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper draws a parallel between the public reaction at the various stages of the Vietnam and current Iraq wars, the economic interests of the American governments in both wars and the disregard for the local people and their culture then and now. The paper discusses the public's general lack of critical judgment with regard to the American government that was manifested in both wars. The paper calls for Americans to develop greater critical thinking skills and to learn to separate emotion from truth. The paper also asserts that the public remember the Constitution, that each citizen, regardless of heritage or religion, has rights and is innocent until proven guilty. The paper concludes that the ultimate impact of the Vietnam war, that all sides lost, is the most important lesson for the war in Iraq today.

From the Paper
""History repeats itself" is perhaps the saying that most accurately portrays human nature. It is the human tendency not to learn from mistakes, even if these have been repeated numerous times. This certainly appears to be true of the United States Government, regardless of who resides in the position of President. Indeed, the lack of an ability to learn from the past can be clearly demonstrated by highlighting some of the similarities between the Iraqi and Vietnam wars."

Health Care in California, 2008.
This paper discusses and examines the 'California Health Care Market Report 2006' by Allan Baumgarten.
763 words (approx. 3.1 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 27.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that according to the annual market study of California's health plans, hospital systems and physician organizations, as conducted by the California Health Care Fund, overall the market is experiencing less turmoil than it did in the first part of the century. The writer looks at the 'California Health Care Market Report 2006' written by Allan Baumgarten and notes that the purpose of the report is to present a comprehensive data resource on such important health care related factors as financial results, enrollment trends, measures of utilization, market share and effectiveness of care. The writer maintains that the conclusions of the study are valid as the reader can make the same determinations from the presented data.

From the Paper
"The study found several major trends. Among these are a shift away from HMOs, thus putting greater pressure on physician organizations; economic power shifting generally away from hospitals and instead back towards individual health plans; hospitals are spending a majority of their funds on physical construction and expansion programs; and continued challenges to the growing number of uninsured and underinsured.
"The study itself was generally successful in following the criteria of good research. Doing research in the healthcare field is becoming more and more difficult with new privacy protections such as the federal government's HIPPA legislation. However, despite this limitation, the annual study conducted by the California Healthcare Market Report did a good job of taking a broad approach of this abstract and large market in order to get a good understanding of its current state."

Chomsky's "911", 2008.
A review of Noam Chomsky's book, "911" and a discussion of its relevance to world terrorism years after 9/11.
2,684 words (approx. 10.7 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 80.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper discusses and reviews Noam Chomsky's book, "911." It provides a biography of the author and the lead up to his writing the book. The paper then summarizes "911" and discusses Chomsky's view of past, present and future impacts of American terrorism and other terrorism world-wide. It also discusses the relevance of Chomsky's views years after 9/11.

From the Paper
"Chomsky's underlying premise and arguments are arguably more difficult to convincingly refute today than in 2001 or even later. As the Iraq War drags on and everyday Americans continue to doubt what we are still being told about our nation's military and other intentions in Iraq and elsewhere, this may become more difficult still. Today, it is far easier to believe than in October 2001, that America's own acts of terrorism against other groups and nations, for reasons of economic world domination, actually led up to and caused 9-11. The result, instead of our having felt free as a nation, or in many cases even individually, to move on nationally (and in individual everyday life) from the awful day of the terrorist attacks (as a healthier, more confident and more secure society might have done) is that the specter of 9-11 hobble us still - psychically, culturally, and even physically (e.g., through intrusive surveillance; airport searches, etc.). Should American military and economic strategies and actions continue as they are, this will continue in the future."

"Texas Chainsaw Massacre", 2008.
A sociological analysis of the movie the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre".
1,242 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 42.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper discusses how Tobe Hooper's 1974 classic horror film entitled "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has greatly affected (and continues to affect) the development of American culture. The paper contends that what makes this horror movie unique and thus sets it apart from other is its underlying political message. It looks at how in the film, as in Marx's writings, the reason the bourgeoisie is successful is because they are the owners of the technology, or means of production. In the film, this is symbolized by Sally being saved by an automobile, which also kills a member of the lower class family. In other words, the lower class is left with their simple tools of a saw and a knife, which in the end is no match to the high technology of the ruling class.

From the Paper
"The movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre revolves around the general plot of a group of rich, young friends who go on a road trip to rural Texas. On the way, the group's van runs out of gas and they are forced to go to an old family friend's home for help. Here the group is attacked by a family of cannibalistic people, including the notorious chainsaw loving Leatherface. On their way the group picks up a hitchhiker who seems to be visibly sick from the heat and possibly crazy. However, the hitchhiker goes on to torment and violently threaten the group, so they leave him on the side of the road."

Abstract
The paper addresses the Native American population in the American West and compares it with the indigenous people of Brazil. The paper states that while many people may feel as though there are no commonalities between these two groups, there actually are many that can be addressed. The paper highlights the fact that both of these groups have been displaced from what was rightfully theirs by others for reasons beyond their control. The paper then discusses the reasons that this has happened to both groups of people and concludes by indicating that these problems come from too many people and not enough resources. The paper states that this is something that will continue to be an issue well into the future.

Outline:
Introduction
The Native Americans
Brazil's Indigenous People
Comparison and Conclusion

From the Paper
"Where the Native Americans and the Brazilian indigenous people were concerned it appears that there were both accidental and deliberate problems that were caused by the settlers. Accidental problems include many of the changes that the countries and the people went through when the settlers arrived. Even if the settlers tried to make peace with the indigenous people and become their friends there were still unforeseen issues that took place. The main one of these was the threat of disease. Both the European settlers that went to Brazil and the settlers that arrived in America brought diseases with them that the people in other lands were not used to. Because of this they had no natural immunity to these diseases and suffered from them, many times to the point of death."

Why They Were Double Agents, 2008.
This paper explores the psychological causes of FBI agents Aldrich Ames' and Robert Hanssen's betrayal of the United States.

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper uses two of the most famous breeches of United States intelligence agencies, those involving Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen, to show that the individual psychology of intelligence officers is often the source of leaks and betrayal. The paper looks at Ames' monetary desires and Hanssen's thirst for appreciation that encouraged them to become double agents. The paper highlights how in both cases the obvious symptoms of a mole were absent.

From the Paper
"In terms of national security, counterintelligence remains an essential component of maintaining a firm and secure hold upon potentially dangerous information. It is widely recognized that within a setting in which competing intelligence organizations are continually attempting to infiltrate the ranks of other intelligence agencies, deciding who is privy to what is often a dangerous gamble. Intelligence agencies must be conscious of the type of individuals they put in possession of delicate bits of information; this applies not merely to the background, past affiliations, and political views of these people; the individual psychology of intelligence officers is often the source of leaks and betrayal.

Airplane Industry Ethics, 2008.
This paper focuses on the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)'s conflicts of interest in investigating airplane crashes.
2,371 words (approx. 9.5 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 72.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper reveals that many families of the victims of airplane crashes believe the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to be incapable of adequately monitoring the airline industries. The paper explains that these families charge that the NTSB is biased since it has too close a relationship with the airlines, which causes an inevitable conflict of interest. The paper points out the reliance on the airlines' integrity to hand over evidence from plane crashes and uses the crash of United Airlines Flight 585 in 1991 as a case in point. The paper discusses the need for a fair investigation and proposes using independent experts during crash investigations to achieve these unbiased findings.

From the Paper
"A plane crash, "whether a large commercial airliner or a tiny home-built ultra light sets into motion a flurry of events" and always inevitably cumulates with a National Transportation Safety Board investigation (Hise 1991:1). "The men and women of the NTSB have a rare breed of government job," in that they are nonpartisan, non-official law enforcement authorities given the investigational power to find the cause, "often beginning with little more than a handful of crushed aluminum, of almost every aviation crash they investigate" and issue a report on airplane crashes (Hise 1999:1). These men and women are supposed to be noble fact-finders, neither interested in the airline industry's financial future, the bottom line of corporate America, or even the feelings of the families and the victims of the crash."

The Hamas Organization, 2008.
An overview of the history, origins, and goals of the Hamas organization, the most influential Islamic movement in the Palestinian territories.
2,325 words (approx. 9.3 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 71.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper explores the history and goals of Hamas, an acronym for Harakat al-Mugawima al-Islamiyya, also known as the Islamic Resistance Movement. The paper relates that the organization's goals are anti-Israeli, as it fights for destroying the state of Israel and creating a Palestinian Islamic state by using very violent terrorist aggression against Israeli civilians. The paper also relates that one of the most dangerous threats for regional security resides in the violent fights between Hamas and Fatah, which led to the separation of Palestine with Hamas controlling Gaza and Fatah, the West Bank.

From the Paper
'Despite the organization's social and religious activities, Hamas is primarily a military organization, well equipped, financed and organized. Its military wing is responsible for the acts of violence attributed to the organization. In achieving their goal of re-establishing Palestine on the territories that were known as hers before 1947, Hamas has used the term "jihad" (religious war), with the meaning that it will carry a war against any enemy of Islam, referring to Israel. Comparing to PLO, which has carried negotiations in the past with Israel and which seems more eager to find a solution for the dispute, Hamas remains radical in claiming all the territories they believe are rightfully Palestinian and accept no negotiation with Israel.'

Chemical and Biological Weapons, 2008.
This paper explores the possibility of terrorists using lethal chemical and biological (CB) agents against the United States.
1,165 words (approx. 4.7 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 40.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper reveals that, although lethal chemical and biological (CB) agents are not very difficult to obtain or produce, the dissemination of CB agents may be more difficult. The paper reveals further that experts believe that only a few CB agents have the ability to paralyze a large city or area of the U.S., causing high casualties, a major panic and massive disruption of commerce. The paper relates that the most probable diseases are anthrax, smallpox and the plague that can and have caused large outbreaks. The paper concludes that the U.S. public health systems must be prepared to detect, diagnose and respond appropriately to these weapons and also be ready to deal with the wide-scale human psychological terror this would cause.

From the Paper
"The bombings of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City and the World Trade Center in New York, as well as ongoing terrorist attacks as the car bombs just last month have made it very clear that it is necessary to prepare for the effects of terrorism. Similarly, the sarin gas attacks in Matsumoto and later at the Tokyo Metro in the 1990s by the Supreme Truth religious cult and the anthrax attacks in 2001 added another level to coping with terrorism. With many different biological and chemical weapons possible, it is necessary to somehow narrow down the viable options for preparedness. "

Dawn Blair's "America 2014: An Orwellian Tale", 2008.
Reviews Dawn Blair's "America 2014: An Orwellian Tale", which portrays a world that sequels the acclaimed novel by George Orwell "1984".
1,530 words (approx. 6.1 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 50.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper explains that Dawn Blair's "America 2014: An Orwellian Tale", along with George Orwell "1984", prophesies a world under the strict guidance of this totalitarian regime with a specific emphasis on the governing agents challenging American freedom. The author points out that these two writers present a real world understanding of how information control and the power of centralized governing authority can destroy our freedom and lead to totalitarianism. Using the Bush administration of the core example, the paper concludes that the most important lesson of these two books is that freedom cannot be confused with safety, and that the government's attempts to scare us into believing that they are one and the same must not succeed for if they do then we are in effect sacrificing our freedoms.

From the Paper
"The central method by which both of these books display subversion and control is through limitation of information and propaganda. In 1984, the information bureau controls all aspects of media and as a result, there is a mysterious war with another country that provokes citizens to fear and thus rely on the government. This is similar to the current strategy used by the Bush administration, where the War on Terror is used as the catalyst for media control. The central character of both novels works for the central bureau of propaganda and as a result, is exposed to the heart of this information and media control."

"The NET plan meant a decentralization of municipal services down to the neighborhood level in mini city halls, which in turn fostered a team approach to the identification and resolution of problems. The original staff of each NET Service Center included an NET Administrator, a Service Center Representative, a Neighborhood Resource Officer (NRO), and a Public Service Aide, along with code enforcement inspectors for sanitization, and public works. Also, six of the Service Centers were augmented with job counselors. Representatives from different city departments were assigned to each NET Service Center, but the NRO was considered the key element to the success of the program (NET Concept, 2007)."

Abstract
The paper discusses John Adams and states that he is regarded as one of the founding fathers of the United States, whose contribution to the reception and drafting of the Declaration of Independence was extremely significant. The paper continues by commenting that Adams was stubbornly independent of spirit and that his demanding conscience was truly his guide. The paper comments that his minor flaws were of little significance and history accepts that he played an invaluable part in the freedom and independence of America. In addition, the paper relates that John Adams should also be remembered because his contribution to the country went beyond the Declaration of Independence, as his dedication to his country never wavered. Lastly, the paper reminds us that Adams served with varying degrees of success as diplomat, ambassador, US Vice President, and US President.

From the Paper
"The historical situation and the circumstances that the colonists found themselves in, made Adams more determined that there should be full independence from Britain. He felt this was the only way that true freedom could be achieved. However there as strong opposition to any firm break with Britain among many of the colonists. From a political point of view, in terms of the war against England, Adams realized that, " No foreign nation would send them assistance or even trade with the rebellious colonies if the colonies themselves did not declare their existence as an independent nation" . (McCullough)
As a chosen as the Massachusetts delegate to the Continental Congress Adams was part of the Committee of Five appointed to draw up the declaration of independence, largely due to the fact that he was a "well known leader in the fight for liberty," and because of the respect that he had achieved in his political and legal career. (Leopold) The other creators of the Declaration were: Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston, Benjamin Franklin, and Jefferson. (Leopold) Adams was to sit on 90 committees, including an all-important war committee. He also served as the de facto secretary of war during the Revolution."

Abstract
The paper looks at how Michel Foucault's theories on power/knowledge might be used to scrutinize nations' abortion laws. The paper illustrates in detail how abortion law exemplifies power/knowledge/language relationships.

From the Paper
"French 20th century philosopher-cultural theorist Michel Foucault's theories focus on relationships of human power to knowledge and discourses, and on manifestations of these in real life based on various (and varied) power dynamics - between and/or among individuals; institutions; and other entities. In fact, Foucault considers "the question at the center of everything" to be "what is power?" ("Strategies of Power: Michel Foucault" 41). "

She Takes a Village, 2008.

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper discusses and reviews Alan Gottlieb's book, "She Took a Village", which took its title from Hillary Clinton's book, "It Takes a Village". The paper relates that Gottlieb's book was written during the time of speculation that Hillary Clinton would run for president at some point, and Gottlieb's book was largely an effort to forestall such an eventuality by raising all of the supposed scandals surrounding the Clintons, including a variety of unsubstantiated claims about criminal activity, fraud, drug-dealing, and even murder. The writer concludes that the basic details of Hillary Rodham Clinton's life may shape Gottlieb's book, but the reader learns little of fact about her or her husband and much more about the lengths to which conspiracy theorists will go to support their pet theories.

From the Paper
"Most of the hints at charges in this book are of the same stamp, from Whitewater to the death of Vincent Foster. Gottlieb is rehashing a lot of new accounts and similar data, and authorities with far more experience and far greater resources looked into these various issues and found no evidence of Clinton criminality at all. As with most conspiracy theorists, Gottlieb finds the absence of evidence to be evidence in itself. The focus of this book is supposed to be on Hillary Rodham Clinton, but for much of the book, the focus is on the Clintons and their supposed secret gang of operatives who carry out their every whim."

The Internet and Politics, 2008.
Investigates the impact of the Internet on politics, especially the Obama campaign.
1,225 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 41.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper relates that, as a result of the power of the 2004 election bloggers, most political campaigns today have an Internet strategy. The paper points out that the stratospheric rise of presidential candidate Barack Obama is a testimony to the power of the Internet and its ability to rally young people who do not belong to the formal party structures. The paper discusses the impact of the Internet on politics and political campaigns and suggests that that, because of the Internet, political power has shifted to the common hands of thousands of ordinary independent Americans bloggers.

From the Paper
"The Internet also provides a sense of control for those who feel powerless. Rather than merely consume political media, the Internet permits the individual to disseminate editorial material, unapproved of by the candidates, in an unedited form (unlike even a letter to the editor of a major newspaper). Yet this intense personalization, also suggests that one of the assumed positives about the political influence of the Internet, namely creating connections between like-minded people unrecognized by the system, might be doubtful."
