Abstract
In this article, the writer examines why the trait and behavioral approaches to leadership turned out to be of only limited usefulness. The writer discusses how much more successful current views are regarding what makes a good leader. The writer maintains that the trait and behavioral approaches to leadership failed to prove useful for multiple reasons including their lack of understanding or acknowledgement of the dynamic rather than static status in which a leader must operate. This paper explains why these forms of leadership proved marginally useful, and then addresses whether current views about what makes a good leader are valid.
Outline:
Introduction
Contemporary Perspectives
How Much More Successful Are Today's Leaders
Conclusions
From the Paper
"There are many reasons the trait and behavioral approaches to leadership did not succeed. While the ideas and concepts behind them seem strong, these approaches were singular in nature. They suggest that a single concept, trait or behavioral style resulted in successful leadership. Little empirical data however suggests that leaders using either the trait based or behavioral based modal succeed. For example, one of the traits one my associate with successful leaders is good decision making skills or problem solving. There are many individuals that are great thinkers, capable of solving multitudinous problems. However, there is ample evidence suggesting people with great problem solving skills would not make great leaders."

Abstract
In this article, the writer addresses the topic of what causes global warming and reviews the issues involved in the continuing advancement of climate change. The writer also looks at the process of persuading readers that climate change is real, no matter what some members of the media say. Further, the writer discusses how climate change has gathered so much momentum in the past ten or more years. In addition, the writer examines why so many powerful members of the media attack the science that offers empirical proof that climate change threatens the planet and its inhabitants. The writer concludes that intelligent students and others who care should take climate change seriously, and do something about their own lives to lessen their carbon imprint.
Outline:
Introduction
The Conservative Attacks on Science
What is the Most Recent Science about Climate Change?
What Evidence is there that Humans Cause Global Warming?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The conservative media and conservative politicians have been teaming up to cast doubt on the scientists and others who believe that global warming is not only man-made, but that it is one of the most dangerous environmental threats in the history of the planet.
"Media members like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, and others, along with Bush Administration spokespersons, have powerful voices that reach millions of listeners. By continuing to call those who believe in global warming "far left environmental crazies" and ridiculing the media members who accurately report serious climate change, the conservative media and Bush Administration members are doing a disservice to America and the world.
"Recently, for example, on his radio program, Limbaugh ridiculed testimony given by an 18-year old Eskimo woman who spoke to the Congress about how climate change is negatively affecting her village in Alaska. Charlee Lockwood told the Congress that moose have moved north of her village now, seeking colder climates; berry patches give less fruit than before; and the fishing isn't as good since the water in the ocean got slightly warmer.

The European Common Market, 2008.
This paper looks at the benefits of joining the common market in Europe.
1,436 words (approx. 5.7 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the European Union was created initially in 1993 as a means of uniting countries of Europe into a single market. Since then the EU has grown substantially, now encompassing 25 different European countries. The writer points out that despite the massive growth of the common market, there remain some countries which, to this date, have elected not to participate. The reason for this is that they feel that it would not be beneficial for them to do so at the present time. The writer evaluates the benefits which the common market does in fact hold for different types of countries, both rich and poor. The writer argues that there are greater benefits to joining the common market for poor countries than for rich companies, due to the way in which the common market acts to reduce the poverty gap between countries.
Outline:
Introduction
Defining the Benefits
Working in Different Countries
Consumer Goods
Companies
Conclusions
From the Paper
"When considering the different backgrounds from which the different countries of Europe have emerged it is clear that there are differences in the initial levels of these elements. For example the richer countries of Europe, such as the UK and France have enjoyed high levels of every one of these elements in recent centuries. While the joining of the common market may help to ensure that this will continue into the future, it is unlikely to bring immediate differences in the levels of any of these elements. In comparison, many of the poorer countries which have recently joined or are looking to join, the common market, have low levels of several of these elements. The poorer countries joining the European Union come from Central and Eastern Europe, and many of these countries were previously members of the Soviet bloc. It is the lack of each of these elements which characterizes many of these Eastern countries. The joining of the EU for these countries signifies not only greater long term stability, but relatively immediate effects in terms of increasing prosperity and wealth. For this reason, it can be argued that these poor countries have far more to gain from joining the common market than richer countries such as those in Scandinavia."

Abstract
The paper highlights the insurgence of terrorism and the resultant fears expressed by peoples throughout the world. The paper discusses the characteristics of the leading terrorist organizations and the background of its leaders in an attempt to explain the thinking behind the terrorist psychology.
Outline:
Hamas
Hizballah
Al Quaida
LTTE
Hizb ul-Mujahideen
Terrorists Profile
Usama Bin Laden
Velupillai Prabhakaran
Shoko Asahara
Mullah Mohammed Omar
Ahmed Ramzi Yousef
From the Paper
"Terrorism has expanded into every nook and corner of the world today. A terrorist today, does not appear with a distinctive personality but rather blends with the society leaving security experts with little clue. While organized crimes are mostly economically motivated, terrorism is on an entirely different footing. Religious and cultural fanatism are the main motivational factors for terrorist outfits. [Frank Bovenkerk] Terror networks are in operation with the groups globalized and operating from diverse bases. Because of this, it is not possible for law enforcement officers to operate with existing tools for local crimes. Terrorism management wings need international cooperation and a transparent relationship with their counterparts from other nations."

Voting Republican, 2008.
This paper discusses why voters should vote Republican in the next election.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 31.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that when President George W. Bush leaves office after the 2008 U.S. Presidential Elections, he would be leaving behind a legacy to the American nation not only of his own but his father and the Republican Party's as well. The writer argues that, despite negative publicity, the legacy of the Bushes and the Republican Party served to strengthen the nation. The writer also maintains that it is a pity that we have a Democrat- run congress at present. But in a democracy such as ours, it is a good thing because having a Republican-sitting President and a Democrat-led congress serve as check-and-balance to each other. The writer argues that in the next election, we have to maintain this status quo. The writer concludes that it is important to elect a Republican to hold the highest seat of the land to maintain this check-and-balance so America will always be the America we all love and cherish - America, the good, the just and the free.
From the Paper
"We should instead let people keep more of their earnings and spend it to boost the economy through consumer spending, but let us also remind our citizens that savings and insurance is part of the American way and also helps boost economic growth. We are a party that believes in spending only what we can and avoid deficit spending. As such, by voting another Republican president we can ensure that our dream of attaining a balance budget will not be kept a dream but made into reality. Just like our founding fathers, God was a major factor in the creation of this nation. We will not take away this belief in a Supreme Being but rather strengthen it in our institutions and those with different convictions, teach them tolerance and respect."

'The Jungle', 2008.
This paper explains how Upton Sinclair's book 'The Jungle' describes conflict theory in the context of early American immigration.
833 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 29.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that Upton Sinclair's 1908 novel 'The Jungle' reflects the burgeoning interest in Marxism and socialism in the US that took root during the Industrial Revolution. Moreover, the writer points out that the novel testifies to the disillusionment with the American Dream experienced by scores of immigrants like the Lithuanian family in Sinclair's novel. The writer discusses that, in the novel, Jurgis Rudkus's transition from idealistic young immigrant to a convict also exemplifies conflict theory. The corruption in business and city politics are the source of Jurgis' deviant behaviors: his heavy drinking and his repeated criminal assaults. The writer maintains that the class conflicts that Sinclair describes in 'The Jungle' are irreconcilable without wholesale changes to the structures and institutions that govern social norms in America.
From the Paper
"As immigrants, Rudkus and his family also created a Lithuanian subculture in Chicago. Language was one way the family remained cohesive. The Lithuanian immigrants attempted to preserve their social customs such as marriage rituals. Yet all the family members were constrained by sheer survival: the need to earn a living. Lithuanian wedding guests could not afford to uphold wedding customs from the old country. They were losing social cohesion because of financial strain, and that lack of social cohesion weakened the immigrant community. Immigrant communities became less cohesive and more focused on individualistic survival, leading to a breakdown in mores, values, and norms. Almost all the family members worked in deplorable conditions and for corrupt labor bosses including the women. The urban migrations that occurred around the turn of the century led to anomie, Durkheim's theory explaining the dissolution of values and social norms. "

The Ideal Leader, 2008.
This paper contrasts Plato and Machiavelli's beliefs of leaders and leadership.
1,127 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses Plato's views on leadership who argues in favor of individual virtue as the guiding principle of the ethical leader who places the needs of his followers ahead of his own. The paper then contrasts this to Machiavelli who had a much less idealistic view of leadership. The paper explains Machiavelli's stance that a leader should maximize his own power at all times, even acting unethically, in order to ensure the leader's specific goals will be achieved.
From the Paper
"The qualities of an ideal leader are not as clear as we might immediately think. In fact, if it really were all that easy to determine out the characteristics of the ideal leader, then there probably wouldn't be so many books published each year on the subject. Understanding the best qualities of a leader, and what makes them so, is not an easy task. How we define the best types of leadership is indicative of the kind of society and world in which we want to live, as well as the degree to which we are willing to accept the realities of human nature and human society."

'The Pianist', 2008.
This paper studies and analyzes the film 'The Pianist' directed by Roman Polanski.
4,254 words (approx. 17.0 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 113.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that Roman Polanski's film, "The Pianist" is somewhat atypical of his work to date in its presentation. Whereas the filmmaker had at the time provided the public with films that turn and twist reality to unbearable proportions, "The Pianist" instead shows the audience the horrors that realism can depict. To achieve this,the writer points out that Polanski uses the Holocaust and the suffering of the Jews during this time as his subject matter. However, true to the filmmaker's style, he does not make this presentation in only one dimension. Indeed, the film depicts a variety of dimensions not only for the events in the film, but also the characters responsible for these events. Revenge, selfless love, hatred and even joy often manifest themselves in a single person fighting for survival in an environment of extreme social upheaval. The writer discusses that as such, Polanski demonstrates Jew and Nazi alike as primarily human, and bases the main message of his film upon this.
From the Paper
"It is against this background that both the book and the treated film version survive to inspire Polanski for his work years later. According to Portuges, Polanski only discovered the book when it was republished in 1998, under its new title, The Pianist, and found himself inspired. The reason for this is not only the subject matter, presentation of events, and prose style, but also the fact that Polanski had found an author and topic that he could deeply identify with. Although disagreeing on many other aspects of the film, critics are unanimous in their assessment of this film as one of Polanski's most personal and most important works .
"Polanski himself was victimized by the events during the Holocaust. Polanski's Polish Jewish parents were deported to Auschwitz. Here his mother died, while he escaped from Cracow as a young child and relied on the kindness of Polish families."

Abstract
The paper discusses how hospitals are faced with a revenue crisis, because programs such as Medicare and Medicaid are running out of money and the number of patients supported by these programs is steadily increasing. The paper considers the high volume of Medicare and Medicaid fraud and new government anti-fraud regulations that are predicted to have a positive impact for revenue streams for hospitals in the future. The paper concludes that without some necessary reforms, the financial state of the medical profession still remains threatened.
Outline:
The Effect of Medicare Trends on Healthcare Providers
Protection of Revenue Streams for Hospitals
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the past few decades, new medical advancements and technological progress have led to improvements in human health, causing a rise in the average age of the population. The national government insurance program that covers nearly 41 million seniors and disabled citizens, Medicare, has raised many substantial concerns concerning its' state of financial crisis. In just 10 years, one of the program's two trust funds will be paying out more than it takes in (National Center for Policy Analysis, 2004)."

Abstract
This paper discusses international terrorism. It looks at the various types of terrorism which differ in the aims and scope of the issues that they target. The paper specifically focuses on the differences that exist between groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, the Islamic Jihad and the PKK. It briefly describes each group's background and the means they use to deliver their messages.
From the Paper
"Overall, it can be said that terrorism has become a vital point of discussion among the political leaders because it affects the societies targeted by the actions it encompasses, as well as the conduct of foreign policy which must be drafted in the context of an invisible war against terror. However, Islamic groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the Islamic Jihad, along with the PKK maintain their relatively nation related activities. On the other hand, Al Qaeda has become a global phenomenon. Therefore, peace cannot be reached until such perpetrators are punished. In the Palestinian conflict nonetheless, the conditions on the site would suggest a contrary attitude, one leaned towards diplomacy and cultural acceptance and cohabitation."

Abstract
The paper explores how international terrorism is related to and often dependent on modern communications technology and the connectivity in our social, economic and personal environment. The paper looks at cyber-terrorism and shows how the spread of terrorism is an almost unavoidable result of the proliferation of electronic media and technology.
Outline:
Introduction
Extremist Groups and Technology
Divergent Groups and Communication
Varieties of Cyber-Terrorism
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The growth of terrorism in our contemporary world is a fact that is without doubt one of the greatest threats to peace and civilization today. The question that may be asked is why has terrorism become such a global and international threat to the world? Terrorism as a style of protest and even warfare, characterized by the aim of instilling fear and terror in certain countries or people is not something new in history. Terrorism in some form or another is evident, even from a brief glance at human history. However, in our age, terrorism is international and is often coordinated between different countries and regions of the world."

Marx: Capitalism and Class, 2008.
An examination of Karl Marx's views on capitalism and the influence of the ruling class on the economy.
4,439 words (approx. 17.8 pages), 18 sources, APA, $ 116.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses Karl Marx's development of communism or socialism in response to what he saw as the evils of capitalism. The author describes the industrial revolution, which brought about the social changes and conditions that Marx saw as unjust to the working class majority. He believed that capitalism and mass production destroyed the cohesion of fellow human beings and made self-interest more important than shared values and goals, thereby dehumanizing the worker. The author provides a brief overview of American society before the industrial revolution and explains how industrialization led to the exploitation of African Americans, immigrants and women as cheap labor. The author explains the concept of market socialism, a modern theoretical cure for both the ills of capitalism and the weakness of traditional communism, and discusses why Marxism failed. The author concludes by suggesting that what is most needed might be a blending of the two systems, in which capitalism and socialism could each counteract the evils of the other.
Outline:
Labor as a Commodity
History of Values and Attitudes
Strengths and Weaknesses in Marxism
Failures of Marxism
From the Paper
"In an effort to explain the philosophical differences between capitalism and Marxism, it is helpful to ponder how philosophical values and ideas are shaped. According to Kolakowski (2005), the history of philosophy has two opposing viewpoints--materialism and idealism. Idealists theorize that spirit existed before nature, and materialists theorize that spirit materialized after nature. There have been countless creeds in the history of philosophy that have tried, unsuccessfully, to find a balance between the two main viewpoints."

Industrial Revolution and Standard of Living, 2008.
This paper looks at the issue of international standards of living following the industrial revolution.
2,485 words (approx. 9.9 pages), 38 sources, MLA, $ 75.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that one of the most significant changes that resulted from the industrial revolution involves standards of living all over the world. This work discusses emerging standards of living, first through a brief historical timeline and by assessing the level of urbanization that has occurred. The paper then takes a look at class emergence in the wake of the industrial revolution and assesses the wage economy. Next, the paper analyzex the nature and structure of the family economy, and lastly, it looks at the movement of the means of production as it applies to standard of living. The writer maintains that clearly, the manner in which people work, the place they live, the wages they earn, the way they receive goods and services and the changes that all these things create in the family are indicative of standards of living. The industrial revolution created massive changes in all these things for a great many people.
From the Paper
"In the early years of industrialization the switch was evident in every member of the family, including the wage earning of women and children. To some degree it is debatable as to whether the release of control of the means of production is an increase or a decrease in standard of living. This depends almost entirely on mitigating factors, such as work conditions, hours of work, real wage earned, and amenities offered by employer and living conditions that a family is willing and able to provide for itself, but there is no question that the switch from control of the means of production to wage earning is a substantial one.
"One issue that is particularly important, on determining the impact of such changes is health. Some historians and economists see nutritional health, and the outcomes of it are essential to a complete understanding of the separation of families and individuals from the means of production."

"The Heart of Darkness", 2008.
This paper discusses and analyzes the work "The Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer introduces and analyzes the novel "The Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad. Specifically, the writer identifies one possible theme in the novel and explains how Conrad nurtures and presents this theme in the text. The writer discusses that Conrad's novel is a scathing critique on European imperialism in Africa and the evils of this corrupt and abusive practice. The writer concludes that the reader of "The Heart of Darkness" understands just what a horrible practice imperialism was, and how it changed the face of entire continents, seemingly overnight, all in the name of greed, avarice, and political power.
From the Paper
"Kurtz is driven to madness by the imperialistic attitudes of those around him, and his own greed for money via the ivory trade. He spends his life in the jungle, searching for ivory and coming to know the natives, who think he is a white God. He represents the very worst of imperialism, because he comes to know and understand the natives, and still he takes advantage of them. He loves their hero worship, and he trades for ivory with them, but he is still using them and leaving them with little or nothing in return, just as the Belgians leave the Congo when they have taken all they can get from the country and the people."

Due Process, 2008.
This paper discusses due process, truth and the US criminal justice system.
750 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at due process, which is one of the most important founding principles underlying the U.S. criminal justice system. The writer explains that due process derives from the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, which applies to federal government action and has traditionally been applied identically to state actions by the identical provision contained in the Fourteenth Amendment. The writer discusses that due process also requires grand jury indictment, and prohibits double jeopardy and compelled self-incrimination, and therefore, is one of the most influential concepts defining criminal procedure in the enforcement of penal laws in the U.S.
Outline:
Introduction
Striking a Balance between Two Important Principles
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Law enforcement always requires the balancing of two competing social concerns: on one hand, is the government's interest in protecting its citizens and prosecuting criminal conduct; on the other hand, is the right of innocent citizens to be free from unrestricted searches and seizures and compelled confessions. Under British rule before the Revolution that established a sovereign United States, citizens were subject to unwarranted searches of their property and seizure of their persons for suspicion of criminal conduct without the need for justification on the part of government agents. This experience under British rule was incorporated into the U.S. Constitution and its subsequent amendments, including the Bill of Rights, precisely to provide the protection of citizens against unrestricted governmental police powers.
"Unrestricted police powers might, in principle, allow for the highest level of crime prevention and prosecution, but at a very steep cost, because virtually any police action would be permissible, including searches and apprehension, detention, and imprisonment without any justification, based solely on the suspicions, or even the whims, of government agents. Excessive protections of individual rights would prohibit the investigatory, arrest, and prosecutorial functions necessary to enforce the laws of society.
"The goal of modern constitutional criminal procedure is to define principles of law enforcement that protect citizens from government intrusions that are unreasonable in their effect on personal liberties, while simultaneously facilitating the reasonable enforcement of law and protection of society by prosecuting and punishing criminal conduct."

Criminal Threats in Turkey, 2008.
This paper examines Turkey's struggle against the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) terrorist group.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the most important criminal threat facing Turkish society and government; the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). The paper discusses the financial, social and military measures the authorities use to protect the Turkish population from the violent manifestations of the rebels against the local population. The writer includes his personal view that the PKK threat could be dealt with through dialogue between the two parties and through an improvement in the quality of life in Kurdish regions.
From the Paper
"Turkey has been an interesting case study for international relations for decades now. It is neither a Muslim, nor a European country, yet its foreign policy prospects include the affirmation of an increasingly important role in both regions. However, such an ambitious plan requires the resolution of internal crises that press on the society. It can be said that the Turkish state faces serious challenges in insuring a proper human security environment and up to this point there is little improvement in this sense, rather an escalation of the threats facing the society."

Withdraw From Iraq!, 2008.
A paper arguing that the U.S. must end the military occupation in Iraq.
2,396 words (approx. 9.6 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 73.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper contends that the U.S. occupation of Iraq has contributed to a deeper sense of insecurity at home on the part of Americans and has not helped reduce the magnitude of worldwide terrorism. The paper examines the main arguments in favor of military withdrawal from Iraq and shows how the American intervention in Iraq has profoundly influenced the level of hatred for the United States around the world.
From the Paper
"The war in Iraq is an ongoing conflict which started with the American and British allied forces' invasion of Iraq in March, 2003. The invasion was launched by a coalition of army forces from the United States, United Kingdom and Spain, at the command of President George W. Bush, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar. Their common reason behind the invasion of Iraq was that Iraq was actively developing weapons of mass destruction, and they invoked the Iraqi refusal to surrender these weapons and to cease all activities in this field."

Unemployment: The Real Story, 2008.
This paper shows how the issue of unemployment in America is complete with rhetoric and stereotypes.
903 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 32.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper attempts to uncover the myths about unemployment in America. The paper looks at data that shows that, contrary to what some would have you believe, the vast majority of Americans are not spending years on unemployment and are not making limited or no efforts to find jobs. The paper also considers regional unemployment statistics that prove that local economic conditions have more to do with people being out of work than some sort of inherent laziness. The paper concludes that much of the rhetoric that often accompanies the unemployment debate is simply inaccurate.
Outline:
Data Shows Unemployment Not a Long-Term Crutch
Regional Variations Show Economic Impact
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Unemployment in America is a hot-button political issue that is complete with rhetoric and stereotypes. While Americans are bombarded with news of labor shortages, and how service industries in particular can not find enough workers, they often have difficulty understanding how people can remain unemployed (Stark, 2004). As a result, a variety of myths about the unemployed develop. Many have speculated that the unemployed are lazy, not looking for a job, and sometimes are having children simply to collect larger social assistance benefits."
