Abstract
The paper focuses on the Marxist theory, which is considered to be the explanatory context for the Cuban Revolution, and applies this theory to the events that took place in Cuba. The paper examines the Marxist views on the present situation in the country, taking into account the expected change of leadership in Havana.
Outline:
Introduction
Theoretical aspects of Marxism
The Cuban Revolution
Marxist views on Cuba
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Cuba can be seen as one of the most important countries in Latin America and an influential actor on the international scene. This is largely due to the fact that its political system as well as its geographical position has made it a crucial neighbor for the strongest country in the world, the United States. The role of the Cuban Republic in the region as well as in the world is often described and analyzed in comparison with the US and, consequently with the democratic system of government. From this perspective, Cuba is seen as a state with few democratic institutions and is somewhat opposition with the flow of the globalised world. This can be said to be the result of the way in which internal and foreign politics is conducted, as well as the stand often taken by the Cuban authorities in respect to the major issues of our world."

Military Tactics of Imperial Rome, 2008.
This paper discusses the military tactics of Rome during its reign in the Imperial Period.
1,220 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 41.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
There is a clear sense that Roman Imperialism was made possible to a large degree by the attainment of a high level of military knowledge and structure. Rome in the Imperial Period, roughly between 27 BC to 395 AD, was marked by a substantially large and well organized standing army. The Roman City State had developed and established sets of colonies, some of which created through collaboration and others through conquest, but delineated a sense of strategic protection and superiority regionally. According to this paper, it is the organization of the army which marks both Rome's success and its ability to utilize novel military tactics to defeat its enemy and gain imperial territory, which at its peak stretched through most of Europe, the Persian Gulf and North Africa.
From the Paper
"The ebb and flow of military tactics was to a large degree dependent upon the character, flexibility and acceptance of the emperor, who was more often than not the traveling and demonstrative leader of the empire or the future leader of the empire. Additionally, most successful imperial leaders of Rome beginning with Augustus, demonstrated a keen sense of the need to alter tactics to the size of the available troops, the known tactics of the enemy and the environment of the region, an issue that became paramount in very distant campaigns such as that of Britain, and especially North Britain. (Shotter 53) Roman military tactics are clearly marked as a standard for modern warfare of the time including issues such as defined logistics, military intelligence gathering and preliminary constructions of fortifications, both permanent and temporary as well as road building, which to a large degree was the lasting mark of Roman military success. (Goldsworthy 43-78) The building of Hadrian's wall in fact is argued to be the delineation of the length to which Rome was willing to go in its occupation of Britain, based on political but mostly environmental reasons. The organization of the northern occupied regions was markedly less and the infrastructure was much sparser, for the most part because few Roman citizens saw the wisdom in living in such an unfavorable and un-Roman region, with very limited regional gains to be had. (Shotter 9)"

Can the U.S. Remain a Superpower and Protect Its People from Terrorism while Reducing Its Military?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The quantitative aspects of the water supply have been widely studied as to specific regions of the world and it is possible to view these trends on a global level. According to Starr (1996), the next few decades are going to be characterized by conflicts - even wars - over increasingly scarce water resources. This author reports that, "Nature annually contributes in fresh water to the world's continents about ten times the world's water use for all purposes. On average, about 70 percent flows to the sea in seasonal floods."

Technology and Management Functions, 2008.
This paper looks at technology and management functions, concentrating on the United States military.
761 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 27.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that managing people and resources in today's world has become a complex undertaking due to the changing nature of the business environment. The world has truly become a smaller place with people's ability to travel faster from one end of the globe to another or talk amongst each other using modern and emerging technologies. As a result of all these, management nowadays cannot be confined to hands on style but rather managers need to understand how to use current technologies in order to achieve their company's strategic, tactical and operational goals. The writer discusses this matter as it relates to the United States military. The writer maintains that despite military management's reliance on technology, this is all done not only to improve operational capabilities but for the benefit of the soldiers in order for them to do their jobs to the best they can with the best technology there is. The writer concludes that while technology will be crucial to achieving greater operational agility and precision lethality, the human dimension will continue to be the critical element of war.
From the Paper
"Indeed, from the smallest to the largest unit of the military hierarchy, technology is used to improve the operational conditions. In the unit to which the writer belongs, management's use of technology is ubiquitous and no doubt without which, doing our jobs will be difficult. One of our unit's tasks is to process contracts for military personnel deploying to the Iraqi theatre of operations. Rather than travelling to and from different locations to consult or meet, we use video teleconferencing technology to do this. The system is connected via secure satellite link and fiber optic network. The thirty personnel in my unit also uses secure laptop PCs to do most of their work and this has been also an effective tool not only in terms of facilitation communications but getting all the necessary administrative and logistics work done. Using these types of technology also lessen our dependence on paper outputs since information are stored either on our laptops or available online from our servers."

The Tuskegee Experiment, 2008.
A discussion of the infamous U.S. Tuskegee syphilis experiment from an ethical and scientific point of view.
871 words (approx. 3.5 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the 1930 United States Public Health Service's (PHS) study on the long-term effects of untreated syphilis, known as the Tuskegee experiment. The paper reveals the shocking ethical and
human rights violations and compares them to the horrific experiments conducted by the Nazis on concentration camp prisoners in the Holocaust. The paper notes that this study was authorized,
administrated and perpetuated by the highest levels of U.S. government. The paper discusses how, ironically, this experiment was practically worthless scientifically.
Outline:
The Tuskegee Experiments
Scientific Value
Ethical Analysis
From the Paper
"In 1930, the United States Public Health Service (PHS) initiated a large study into the causes and treatments of syphilis and gonorrhea, which had to be substantially reduced in size and expense once the Great Depression took hold of the country shortly thereafter. Since insufficient funding was available for the original study, PHS officials scaled back the original study in 1932 and shifted its focus from treating the diseases to simply studying the long-term effects of untreated syphilis (Lehrer 1997)."

Public Safety and Privacy Analysis, 2008.
This paper provides an assessment of disaster planning and preparation post-9/11.
1,122 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that in the aftermath of 9/11, disaster planning and preparation was seen as increasingly critical for both public and private enterprises. The writer points out that since then, efforts by federal and state governments to deal with crisis management have spanned the sublime to the ridiculous. The writer discusses that while some reforms have had a positive impact, at other times state and local governments have had to learn from their mistakes at tremendous financial cost to their departments and tremendous cost to the citizens suffering the disasters.
From the Paper
"One might call this a large-scale, federally sanctioned version of Titanic-style planning where there were not enough 'lifeboats' to carry all of the lives of the potential passengers in case of a wreck.
"To remedy the flaws in the emergency response system post-Katrina, a new operations center was created to give streaming-video updates from first responders in FEMA disaster areas and factory outposts with FEMA supplies were stocked with enough food and water to sustain one million people for a week all over the country. Officials met with disaster-management representatives from all of the states and seventy-five of the largest urban areas to evaluate evacuation plans for before and after major storms. They also increased and improved drills in areas likely to be impacted by hurricanes."

The Exclusionary Rule, 2008.
This paper discusses the exclusionary rule and argues that it helps guarantee the respect and observance of constitutional protections.
2,131 words (approx. 8.5 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 66.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution guarantees Americans the right to freedom from unreasonable searches. The writer then points out that while the Constitution does guarantee the right to privacy, it does not provide a means to ensure and protect this right or suggest remedies for when that right has been violated; determining how to apply the Fourth Amendment has been left to the responsibility of legislatures, who have largely ignored the issues, and the courts. Over time, the Supreme Court has interpreted the Fourth Amendment to require the exclusion of material seized in violation of the Fourth Amendment. The resulting legal principle is called the exclusionary rule. The writer discusses that the exclusionary rule has been expanded to require the exclusion of evidence obtained in violation of the Fifth and Sixth Amendments, as well.
From the Paper
" The exclusionary rule is aimed at preventing violations of a person's constitutional rights, especially the rights guaranteed to people under the Fourth Amendment, and, to a lesser extent, under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments. Therefore, the exclusionary rule prohibits the admission of evidence collected in violation of a defendant's constitutional rights, in a criminal prosecution. However, it does not exclude this illegally obtained evidence in a subsequent civil procedure. The exclusionary rule applies to evidence seized as a direct result of an illegal search or seizure. In addition, the exclusionary rule sometimes bars the admission of evidence obtained in violation of any of a defendant's constitutional rights, not simply in violation of a defendant's Fourth Amendment rights. Furthermore, the exclusionary rule also applies to evidence that was discovered as a result of an illegal action, even if that evidence was discovered in a legal manner. That type of evidence is referred to as the fruit of the poisonous tree."

Chapter Four: Can the U.S. Remain a Superpower and Protect Its People from Terrorism while Reducing Its Military?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In recent years, many pundits have been heard lamenting the loss of the 'good old days of Communism,' when America's enemies were well demarked and neatly contained in known geographic areas. By sharp contrast, today, the terrorist threats arrayed against the United States and its interests at home and abroad are dramatically different than years past, and even the most enthusiastic weapons systems advocates would likely be reluctant to suggest that such innovations would prove effective against these increasingly nebulous threats to America's security. In spite of the growing need for more sophisticated weapons and communications systems on the battlefield, some analysts suggest that the Department of Defense has failed to continue the pace of modernization projects that was historically maintained during the Cold War. One author emphasizes that, "It would be wrong to say U.S. forces have reached the point where they are forced to use obsolete weapons and equipment. On the other hand, according to the department, the need to step up modernization funding is growing with each passing year" (Brasher, 2000, p. 203). This is not to say, of course, that the new types and levels of threats have been ignored, but rather that defense spending is not being used to its maximum advantage today, but the policymakers are trying."

Illegal Immigration In America, 2008.
A discussion of some arguments from those who are for and against illegal immigration.
865 words (approx. 3.5 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the blocking of illegal immigration in the USA. The paper explains that the last few decades have seen a rise in the illegal immigrant population of the United States, and the line has been drawn in the sand between those against and those for illegal immigration. The writer suggests that before any discussion is made on whether we need more laws to combat illegal immigration, the question perhaps should be that existing laws should and must be implemented. The writer then points out that despite the existence of illegal immigration laws, the divide amongst the pros and the cons are still heavy. From the legal point of view, curbing illegal immigration should be done because it simply is against the law, and the moral point of view is otherwise and goes against the ethical principle of helping humanity.
From the Paper
"The United States has always been seen by most outsiders as the "land of milk and honey." Couple this with what they see in Hollywood movies as the "American dream." Indeed, the United States can be a land where one could fulfill your dreams and hopes. But like anything else, there are limits to how far dreams could be reached or how many could avail of that opportunity."

Hurricane Katrina and Race, 2008.
An analysis of the evidence of white privilege and racism in the United States in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
6,439 words (approx. 25.8 pages), 23 sources, MLA, $ 149.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the phenomenon of white privilege in the United States. It describes how it was never more apparent than in the calamity of Hurricane Katrina. The paper discusses the effects of this privilege and racism and describes the ways that it became evident following the national disaster of Hurricane Katrina. The paper questions whether any changes will occur to rectify the problems.
From the Paper
"The effect of White Privilege is the creation of system justifications (Napier 61), and it was never more apparent than in the calamity of Katrina. The effect of this was the construction of victim blaming justifications by the authorities in charge when combating the disparity in response to the needs of those of color. The system appeared to come out smelling like roses; it was only certain individuals that could be blamed for any prejudicial treatment. And the victims were blamed for not being able to help themselves. Ludicrous in concept yet if repeated often enough it become reality to those involved. Katrina has certainly taught us that the systems of government, business and education need to recognize this invisible white privilege within and deal with the racial prejudiced involved with it. Will there be changes? Unfortunately we still seem to be waiting for that promised, "bold action." (Bush 1406)"

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the theoretical issues in physical planning and its role in upgrading traditional rural industries. The discussion focuses on several issues including the conceptual differences between physical, urban, regional and rural development planning. In addition, the research also examines the correlation between physical planning and economic development along with various issues related to core facilities and secondary facilities. The investigation then concentrates upon the role of physical planning in industrial development and several issues are examined.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Definition of Physical Planning
Brief Examination Conceptual Differences among Physical, Urban, Regional and Rural Development Planning
Physical Planning and Economic Development
Content and Objectives of Physical Planning
Core Facilities
Secondary Facilities
Physical Planning in Industrial Development
Role of Physical Planning in Industrial Development
Role of Physical in Upgrading Traditional Small Scale Industries
Issues in Physical Planning Designs, Constraints, Obstacles
Challenges to Implementation of Physical Planning Schemes
From the Paper
"Indeed, physical planning is vital to the economic and social growth of nations. When physical planning is absent the population of a nation or a region may suffer greatly as it relates to their quality of life. In addition, economic and social development can be stifled because the necessary infrastructure such s hospitals, schools and industry are not available. Without the needed infrastructure a nation or a region does not have the capacity to sustain itself socially or economically and is often dependent upon nations that have the type of infrastructure that allows them to proper socially and economically development. Now that we have provided a definition of physical planning, the next section of the discussion will focus on conceptual differences associated with physical, urban, regional and rural development planning."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the central bank, which is one of the most important institutions in a country and whose main responsibility is the national monetary policy. The writer notes that many countries can improve the efficiency of their foreign currency reserve by investing the money and generating a return. The writer also points out that, on a global level, the increased efficiency of a central bank's use of reserve would translate into a reduction of financial crises, which would allow institutions such as the International Monetary Fund to redirect its funds to countries that are not yet capable to reach financial stability as well as design policies for those countries targeting their future stability. The writer notes that these are usually third world countries or developing countries with endemic corruption and political instability.
Outline:
The Central Bank - Roles
Reserves Policy - Evidence from Developing Countries
Central Banks and Foreign Currency Reserve Policy Efficiency
From the Paper
"A healthy reserve policy can overcome financial crises, such as those related to the country's balance sheet. Korea stands as a good example in this direction with its 1997 crisis. Investment banks started to borrowed short maturity foreign currencies and invested them in Korean won assets after the market deregulation in 1990. The same banks invested in foreign securities Russian bonds and by the end of 1997 the value of these obligations exceeded Korea's foreign currency reserves. In the context of a general fall of Asian currencies, the investors started to sell the Korean won, which eventually devaluated the national currency and forced the authorities to resort to the International Monetary Fund. The problem was not that Korean wasn't solvent, but that it wasn't liquid and this crisis could have been avoided, if the authorities hadn't let the national liquidity deteriorate so much since the beginning of 1990s."

Women in Ancient Athens, 2008.
This paper considers the theories of Frederick Engels regarding the position of women in ancient Athens.
1,216 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the limited rights of women in archaic Athens regarding ownership of property. The paper looks at Frederick Engels belief that women's oppression was an unnatural consequence of property relations and was essential for the survival and the privileges of men. The paper therefore shows how Engels' theory on the oppression of women confirms the formal and legal position of women in archaic and classical Athens.
From the Paper
"Law in ancient Athens forbade a woman from engaging in business transactions with money value in excess of five or six days' food for her family (Thompson 2005). Buying anything beyond that required the approval of a male guardian. Ownership of property was likewise complicated and frustrating to her. She might have owned and used a slave, clothing, furniture and jewelry every day but she could not sell or give any of them. She might have claim over land but had no right either to use or sell it. Her rights over property did not mean or include ownership (Thompson)."

Management Responses to Change in OSHA Regulations, 2008.
A review of planning and controlling functions in management situations.
1,855 words (approx. 7.4 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 59.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how management in the private and public sectors respond when the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) changes its regulations. The paper looks at OSHA regulatory changes and offers an evaluation of management theories and strategies from both the planning and controlling functions of management.
.
From the Paper
"The Planning function that management is obliged to work through should begin with the notion that leaders are "proactive" and accept change - even create change - rather than reacting to it, according to the Management / Supervision unit in the Dallas County Community College District (DCCC). So, the point here is, whenever possible management should already anticipate changes in OSHA rules when possible; the future "...requires corporate leadership" that has the kind of skills "to integrate many unexpected and seemingly diverse events into its planning" strategies. That having been said, it is not likely that management can accurately anticipate what new rules and regulations OSHA is likely to put into place at any given moment. But through strategic planning - which includes analyzing a company's mission, its goals, its customer base and the allocation of its resources - management should be better prepared to anticipate what to do when changes in the OSHA legislation are handed down. Rather than using strategic planning only on an annual basis, the DCCCD supervision module asserts that strategic planning should be continuous process, to "permit quicker response to changing conditions" - precisely what happens when OSHA rules suddenly are amended or revised. Moreover, a strong management team - that has embraced strategic planning strategies regularly - should be able to see OSHA rule modifications coming when a workplace accident occurs in a corporation that produces items or products in a similar marketplace. If unsafe conditions resulted in injuries somewhere else, management in all other venues with similar workplace environments should begin making preparations in order to address and respond to upcoming changes in OSHA rules."

Abstract
This paper discusses public administration in the Republic of Lebanon,
noting that the system is widely known for its corruption scandals, its high level of inefficiency, as well as its weak ties with the people it serves. The paper then provides a description of the current situation of public administration there and discusses the issue in the framework of the "ethical problem-solving model".
Description of the Public Administration in Lebanon
Analysis
Decision
From the Paper
"According to a 2003 Report of Transparency International, the most important nongovernmental organization following up on the corruption related issues concerning the countries of the world, Lebanon was place on the 78th position out of 133 countries surveyed in relation to the corruption index (United Nations, 2004). The same source indicates that the "numerous corruption cases on the Lebanese and international public opinion, (...) red tape in the administration and the frequency of bribery, not resolving corruption cases, such as that in the ministry of agriculture, embezzlement in Al-Madina Bank, and accusations of mismanagement in the Electricite du Liban would negatively impact respondents perceptions of corruption in Lebanon" contending that the most important element affecting the perception of the individual, as well as the general perception of the international forces accessing the country is the corruption and the lack of efficiency of the Lebanese administration (2004)."

Abstract
The paper relates that in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, the level of acceptable risk changed and the public demanded action. The paper provides a review of some of the recent fire events that have sparked a public outcry and outlines what steps were taken in response to public demand. The paper shows how over time, public pressure tends to focus attention on the worst offenders in any type of disaster-related trends in an effort to raise the acceptable level of risk involved.
Outline:
Review and Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, many observers were heard to comment that, "Things would never be the same again," and in many ways they were right. One of the more pressing issues to emerge since September 11 has been the call for improved security and communications across the country to help first responders better cope with the mayhem and chaos that are natural concomitants of such events. Establishing an acceptable level of risk for fire hazards following the highly publicized collapse of the World Trade Center is a risk assessment responsibility, but it has been heavily influenced by the risk management demands of all of the stakeholders involved, which is to say the American public."

The Tamil Tigers, 2008.
An analysis of the terrorist group the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE, aka Tamil Tigers).

Abstract
This paper examines how the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), otherwise known as the Tamil Tigers, represents one of the most imbedded terrorist organizations in the world and how it is recognized as a terrorist organization by India, Malaysia, USA, Canada, UK and Australia. Protecting against the terrorist activities of the LTTE presents many challenges to the FBI and other organizations that are committed to protecting the interests of the United States. The paper examines the profile of the LTTE and supports the thesis that the Tamil Tigers are unlike a typical terrorist group, but rather an organized foreign government and how treating the LTTE as a government entity represents the most effective strategy for countering terrorist measures by this group.

Feasible Countermeasures
From the Paper
"The organization of the Tamil Tigers supports the thesis that this group is a foreign government, regardless of whether Sri Lanka recognizes it as such or not. The LTTE considers itself to be a separate government entity and its level of organization supports its claims. One of the key factors to strength and influence of this group is the organizational structure. The organizational structure of the LTTE differs from that of other terrorist organizations. Most terrorist organizations can be classified as either military or political. Political groups tend to have a strong sense of purpose, yet may lack the military structure to carry out their objectives. Military organizations may have an established hierarchical structure and central leadership. However, they may not be as clearly focused on the key objective. "

Overview and Background
Central Trends in Fire Services
Summation and Conclusion
From the Paper
"The events of the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001 have had a profound affect on all aspects of the security and emergency services in the United States. This is especially the case with regard to the fire services and departments in the country. Fire departments are often perceived as being in the forefront of any disaster or terrorist attack and as a result, there has been an "evolution" in this sector since 2001. This includes aspects such as the increased access to information and intelligence and the sharing of this information between various security organizations and institutions. The fire departments have also embarked on a new initiative to network and share information and expertise with other intuitions as well as increase training in aspects such as bioterrorism."
