Abstract
The paper presents several arguments that support the idea of John Brown being an unremorseful killer with early manifestations of terrorist activities. The paper shows how this contradicts the image many have of him as a saint and a martyr. The paper therefore illustrates how for the African-American community, he stood against inequality and social injustice, while for others he represented the ultimate symbol of violence and treason.

From the Paper
"History is most of the times a controversial issue, despite the fact that it relies on comprehensive information and verifiable data. In most situations important events in the culture of a nation are subject to various interpretations which give history its subjective character. Nonetheless, the controversies that arise in discussing a subject are often the ones that offer more insight into a certain issue and can therefore be considered to have the most important contribution to the historical analysis."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that when speaking about whether globalization weakens the state, there are several arguments that must be taken into consideration. This paper first deals with the question of whether globalization is beneficial or not, pointing out that this subject can be discussed in several manners depending on the example provided. The answer to the main question, of whether globalization weakens the state or not, is also highly dependent on the way the matter is treated. The writer presents both parts, arguing both that globalization brings prosperity and that it brings more economic power to a state and that globalization shifts power from the government to the private sector.The writer concludes that globalization seems to work only for already developed countries, even though all countries that agree to the global capital market agree to the rules of globalization.

From the Paper
"The best examples that globalization works and is benefic for the economic development of countries are those of East Asian countries that have adapted themselves to a capitalist market economy and took advantage of the free market in order to sell their products. In these countries, poverty was actually reduced and they have known an unprecedented economic growth. The lesson that these countries applied seems simple: they took advantage of the global market for their exports and they managed to close the technology gap between more developed countries and them. By doing this, they became actual competitors on the global market and this can be seen in the economic growth that followed. Prosperity in these countries came in different ways, as some countries developed after opening up to multinational corporations and others, such as Taiwan, created their own corporations. But most importantly, globalization turned up to be a beneficial experience for these countries because they each understood globalization in their own way and applied it as to be in the interest of the many. In these countries, globalization was made in an equalitarian way and so it benefited the many. Because the many benefit from globalization, we can say that these are positive examples that prove that globalization works. The negative examples are the ones in which the benefits of globalization were distributed among the few."

Sierra Leone, 2008.
A look at the causes behind the population increase in Sierra Leone today.
1,658 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 53.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper outlines the history of Sierra Leone and shows how for nearly two decades, Sierra Leone's population has been deprived due to war, poverty, poor education, corrupt political officials and rampant rebel forces. The paper then looks at recent times and discusses the assistance of world organizations, foreign investment and a more stable political structure that have caused the population of Sierra Leone to increase in number and in standard of living.

From the Paper
"First, it is important to examine the history of the country to comprehend the decimation of Sierra Leone's population in the past due to mortality and migration, and the reasons behind such a reduction. European slave traders in Sierra Leone were among the first in west Africa. By 1652, slaves were being shipped from the area to the United States in vast numbers . However, in 1787, the British assisted 400 freed slaves in resettling the Sierra Leone area in what they called the "Province of Freedom". The plan, however, was nearly destroyed as disease and hostility from the local inhabitants nearly eliminated the entire population. The area survived, however, and became known as "Freetown" by 1792."

Detroit and Urban Crisis, 2008.
This paper looks at the urban crisis in Detroit, while studying the works "Detroit Arcadia" by Rebecca Solnit and "The Origins of the Urban Crisis' by Thomas Sugrue.
846 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 30.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that as the industrial powerhouse that the United States was in the years of and immediately following World War II began to slow down in the 1960s, many of America's urban areas saw the economic base eroding with the disappearance of industry as well as the huge migration of Caucasians from the cities when the economies of the cities fell into decline. The writer discusses that the by-product of all of these occurrences was the fight to prevent racial integration of the suburban areas into which the Caucasians fled, and a swift decline of American cities. The writer looks at the city of Detroit that has been devastated over the years because of economic and racial issues. Such urban crises are the focus of this research. The research studies and cites the works of two pivotal writers on the topic in an effort to better understand the topic itself.

Outline:
Introduction
Historical Consequences of the Urban Crisis
Political Consequences of the Urban Crisis
Agreements/Disagreements
Conclusion

From the Paper
"A brief history lesson of the socioeconomic history of Detroit is the best way to begin to understand the historical consequences of the urban crisis as well as what the crisis is in and of itself. During and immediately after World War II, the machine shops and automobile plants of Detroit, and as a result the other supporting businesses, were flush with cash because of the need for implements of war, during the war years of course, and the need for consumer vehicles after the war, as men and women returning from battle settled back into a state of normalcy and went on a buying spree in unprecedented quantities. Because of the proliferation of available jobs, Caucasians and African-Americans alike were able to gain employment; true, the racial inequality was existent, but it was not as acute or damaging at this point as it would eventually become. With the passage of time, however, the gap between the races was intensified by the power of capitalism, and the African-Americans of Detroit, as well as elsewhere, soon saw the economic and social gap between them and their racial opposites increasing to their disadvantage."

Criminal Justice Organizations, 2008.
This paper determines the impact of occupational socialization and political power abuse on the criminal justice sector.
1,448 words (approx. 5.8 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 48.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper examines how the police force, courts and corrections are influenced by occupational socialization and their power and political behavior. The paper shows how the high level of occupational socialization tends to corrupt the police department while its affiliation with often indiscrete political officials results in corruption of the court system. The paper brings evidence from the events following the 9/11 attacks on the United States and maintains that more than loyalty and leadership will be needed to find an accurate balance between power, politics, loyalty and socialization within criminal justice systems.

From the Paper
"Occupational socialization refers to the extent to which professionals within a certain sector and/or workplace connect and socialize with each other. A high level of socialization may for example lead to a high level of loyalty within the organization, whereas a low level of socialization may lead to a higher level of individual creativity and contribution. Socialization is integrated not only with the type of organization in question, but also with the organizational culture involved. In terms of criminal justice, occupational socialization plays a particularly complex role in the police force."

Social Order and the Justice System, 2008.
This paper explores the maintenance of law, order and democracy within the justice system.
1,523 words (approx. 6.1 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 50.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper refers to the book "Why People Obey the Law" by Tom R. Tyler, which addresses the writings of various authorities who question the tie between law, democracy, government policy and behavior. The paper shows how the theories of government are crucial to the successful administration of public policies and the compliance of the people to the law. The paper discusses how the public tends to resist overly exercised deterrent measures but, if there is trust that the judges administer justice equally, the public adheres to the law willingly.

From the Paper
"Laws were designed to control public behavior. There are many theories of how compliance with the law can be achieved, but most use threats or the use of punishment. The idea of deterrence, Tyler points out, has been widely utilized since the 1980s and has remained the predominant way social order has been maintained into the twenty-first century. The values of the normal populace are based upon voluntary deference to authority, because doing so is part of their obligation to and respect for their leaders. However, the way that a local government manages social order among its residents does not apply to how nations might maintain social order among other nations in the world, which is something the U.S. has had to contend with this century."
Term Paper # 109099 SHOPPING CART DISABLED
The Patriot Act, 2008.
An analysis of the provisions of the Patriot Act and its effect on civil liberties.
1,213 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 41.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper relates that because the stipulations in the Patriot Act infringed upon civil liberties without a system of checks and balances, legislators were prompted to include a sunset clause that would automatically terminate some of the government's surveillance authority on or by a specific date. The paper explains how the Patriot Act amended a number of different statutes and briefly discusses the viewpoint of those in favor of and those against the Patriot Act.

From the Paper
"Many of the privacy issues driven by the "war against terror" can be directly linked to the Patriot Act. Title II of the Patriot Act, "Enhanced Surveillance Procedures," increased the government's authority to seize oral, wires, and electronic exchanges; to engage in pen register and trap and trace searches; to be granted access to certain business, library, and medical records; to use a single search warrant for nation-wide searches; to utilize subpoenas for electronic communications; to search records and not notify the owners; to limit the legal responsibility of persons who divulge private records to the government (a direct infringement of privacy laws); and to authorize information sharing between law enforcement and intelligence-gathering organizations (Baker, 2004)."
Term Paper # 109087 SHOPPING CART DISABLED
Rousseau's Doctrine of Natural Rights, 2008.
This paper discusses Jean-Jacques Rousseau's doctrine of natural rights in comparison to liberal, political, social and economic theory.
2,328 words (approx. 9.3 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 71.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the great philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau was one of the foremost proponents of the theory of the social contract and of ideas concerning the basic nature of human society. The writer discusses that according to Rousseau, human beings were born neither good nor evil; rather it was an individual's self-interest that determined his or her actions, actions that might be deemed either positive or negative in the eyes of others. As individuals acted naturally in their own interest, larger societies would be plagued by the conflicts that grew out of the conflicting demands of individual women and men. Rousseau proposed to solve this problem by a variant of the social contract - an ostensible agreement between the various members of society. The writer discusses that the ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau contrasted strongly with those of other thinkers, such as John Locke, Adam Smith and Immanuel Kant, all of whom viewed humanity in far-more individualized terms.

From the Paper
"Cohesion equals the application of force or compulsion. Since human beings are individuals they view any combination of individuals as merely a means to serve their own personal ends. Coercion must be used if these disparate individuals are to act for the benefit of other individuals, and for the group as a whole. What Rousseau discovered in the idea of the Social Contract was a means to preserving individual happiness within the context of the necessary group. In accepting the General Will, the individual woman or man accepts the benefits of mutual cooperation along with the restrictions that such cooperation must impose. One surrenders some privileges in exchange for the greater security provided by group action and cohesion. If people do not pool their resources in times of adversity a few may survive, or none may survive. But, if all work together, hopefully most will survive. The same goes in the event of an attack on a region."

'Economy of Grace', 2008.
This paper discusses the book 'Economy of Grace' by Kathryn Tanner, looking at the connection drawn between God and economics.
1,516 words (approx. 6.1 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 49.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that in 'Economy of Grace', Kathryn Tanner approaches the fiscal side of Christianity. The writer discusses that Tanner begins by asserting that there is a unique relationship between economics and Christianity, primarily because a Christian is compelled to incorporate faith into daily life. The writer looks at examples in the work used to demonstrate why God should be a part of economics. The writer then points out that Tanner explains that the economy is missing an essential element when God does not play a role in it. The writer concludes that although it seems unlikely that the world will ever wholly embrace a theological economy, there are some promising signs that indicate that capitalism has been influenced by the principals of a theological economy.

From the Paper
"In other words, a theological economy is a win-win economy, where none of the participants are expected to act to their own detriment, but where they are also expected to consider more than personal bottom-line when engaging in economic transactions. The result is an economy that is unlike capitalism, because it is non-competitive, but also unlike communism, because it allows for personal property ownership and permits monetary success as a religious goal.
"Next, Tanner compares and contrasts her idea of a theological economy with traditional capitalism. To do so, she acknowledges that her interpretations of Christianity and how those interpretations have shaped her concept of a theological economy are not the only interpretations of Christianity."

Lobbyists and White Collar Crime, 2008.
This paper discusses white collar crime, specifically in the case of lobbyists and their politician allies.
1,948 words (approx. 7.8 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 62.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper describes the white collar crimes of lobbyist, Jack Abramoff, former House of Representatives majority leader, Tom DeLay and California Congressman, Duke Cunningham. The paper paints a picture of how lobbyists act essentially as brokers between corrupt businesspeople and interest groups, and between the politicians who can make those persons still richer and more powerful. The paper therefore shows how lobbyists and their politician allies are true white collar criminals, bending the law in non-violent ways to serve their own selfish ends.

From the Paper
"Crime is not always violent or obvious; rather it often lurks beneath the surface of respectable activities and individuals. White Collar Crime is one of the most pressing problems in today's society, particularly within the realm of politics. Lobbyists and their allies frequently employ underhanded methods to gain influence and enrich themselves. American taxpayers are bilked out of millions of dollars and subjected to crooked policies, all at the behest of clever operatives who claim to work for the public good."

"Republique Francaise (French Republic) is the official designation of the French nation, whose history and culture is known the world over. France as most people know it is a country that produces excellent wines and cheeses, has a language that belongs to the romantic languages, and whose capital city - Paris - is known as the city of lights and have been written about as one of the most quixotic and passionate cities in the world. Although ultimately a victor in World Wars I and II, France suffered extensive losses in its empire, wealth, manpower, and rank as a dominant nation-state."

Unified Paternalism, 2008.
This article looks at the argument for unifying vice enforcement legislation with regards to alcohol, tobacco and marijuana.
1,351 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 45.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that government paternalism refers to the governmental exercise of legislative or regulatory authority over the individual for his benefit rather than for the benefit of others in society. The writer notes that in the United States, paternalistic legislation currently regulates certain aspects of the manufacture, sale, and distribution of alcoholic beverages, and completely prohibits recreational drug use. This writer discusses that a strictly paternalistic approach to regulating conduct would prohibit use, even in private, to protect the individual from the harms of his own vices. The writer then points out that a less paternalistic approach would permit the private indulgence of virtually any substance of choice, regulating only the resulting behavior that affects others. The writer concludes that either position is defensible for different reasons, provided that it is applied equally in a manner appropriate to the actual risks at issue.

From the Paper
"In the United States, paternalistic legislation currently regulates certain aspects of the manufacture, sale, and distribution of alcoholic beverages, and completely prohibits recreational drug use. To those opposed to paternalism in principle, private adult use of all three are not rightfully the subject of prohibition by law. However, even many of those who appreciate the need for some degree of paternalistic regulation object to the arbitrary nature of the legal status of certain equivalent conduct that permits some vices that do not affect others in society while imposing serious legal consequences on other conduct that is indistinguishable in degree of harm.

Religious Fundamentalism, 2008.
This paper refers to the works of Karen Armstrong, Mark Juergensmeyer and Malise Ruthven on the issue of holy wars and crusades.

Abstract
The paper examines Karen Armstrong's "Holy War", Mark Juergensmeyer's "Terror in the Mind of God" and Malise Ruthven's "Fundamentalism: The Search for Meaning". The paper discusses Armstrong's theory that fundamentalist religion is essentially a response to and a product of modern culture, Juergensmeyer's belief that cultures of violence, and not the religion itself, cause terrorism within fundamental believers and Ruthven's explanation of fundamentalism. The paper shows how the three authors each offer important insight into understanding both the history and current status of religious fundamentalism.

From the Paper
"In Holy War: Armstrong argues that it was the historic crusades against the Byzantine empire overrun by Muslim Turks by the Christian warriors summoned by Pope Urban II. During this period, the Christian fundamentalist took up the cross and the sword against the Turks with the sole purpose of recovering the holy city of Jerusalem from Islam. It is this initial battle that is still today raging, as the sides of Christians, Jews and Muslims continue to fight against the modern holder of the holy lands, whether the ownership be actual or theoretical."

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper explores the factors which led to the different developments of the two most important communist powers of the Cold War, China and the USSR. The paper looks at how the communist ideology came to be implemented in both states and shows how the role of the national identity of the people was clearly underestimated by the soviets, while the Chinese managed to cater to the nationalistic needs of its people. The paper also discusses the lack of a strong connection between the Soviet led bloc of states while the Chinese used Confucianism that allowed people to identify their nation and their leader with a perennial system of thought.

From the Paper
"The 20th century saw some of the most interesting political evolutions in the history of humanity. Throughout the one hundred years, the world lived the disastrous experience of the total war, it came to realize the power of the atomic bomb, but, most importantly it went through what came to be labeled as a "cold war", a political confrontation between two ideological systems, whose proponents, the US and the USSR never came in direct and face off contact. However, along these historical lines, the event that drew the most attention, due in part to its recent developments and its effects that are visible to this day was the unexpected yet imminent fall of communism in the USSR."

Abstract
In this article, the writer covers the background and development of the pharmaceutical industry in the United States. The writer discusses the social facts and institutions, political actors, economic forces and environmental realities of this issue. In addition, most importantly, the writer looks at the demographics and income levels which have driven pharmaceutical innovation in the United States. The writer maintains that the high regulatory pressures, price pressures and lack of future such blockbuster markets dictates that pharma companies will have to innovate a lot more in niches, more products, smaller markets. The writer concludes that large pharma companies which grew up in a time of plenty will therefore have to radically change how they do business, from increasing acquisition, cooperative agreements, exemptions from regulatory approval and other such measures.

From the Paper
"Since the US is largely a private-insurance country, there is a sort of free market for pharmaceuticals. Medicare sets prices through the CPT mechanism, but the prices for new drugs which are set by Medicare, and observed by other third-party players, are high as compared to other countries.
"Part of the reason that US prices are higher than elsewhere is that the government takes a much larger role in other major OECD countries, such as France, the UK, Canada and Germany. In those countries, the health ministry negotiates and publishes prices--generally much less than those in the United States. In developing countries, such as Mexico, a larger private-pay market and low incomes dictate that local branches of the pharma companies charge lower prices in order to stay in the market."

Government Agencies and Ethics, 2008.
This paper argues in favor of the statement "Any agency which works in secret can behave in a scandalous manner, and the CIA is no exception to this rule."

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer analyzes the following statement on two grounds: "Any agency which works in secret can behave in a scandalous manner, and the CIA is no exception to this rule". The writer first discusses whether it is true that agencies which act in secret behave in a scandalous manner and then if so, whether the CIA is an exception or a demonstration of this rule. The writer then makes the argument that all agencies, throughout history and in whatever country, region or empire, that act in secret are inherently prone to dishonesty and unethical acts. Next, the writer maintains that the CIA must act, to some degree, in secret with some of its operations. Finally, the paper argues that the CIA will always be prone to dishonesty and unethical actions, which requires more regular oversight.

Outline:
Introduction
First Hypothesis: There has been an ethical agency in history
Second Hypothesis: The creeping moves toward professionalism have reduced ethical inhibitions
Ethics, the CIA and Recent History
Politics by Innuendo: Contributing to Unethical Conduct?
Conclusion: Is the CIA Inherently Untrustworthy?

From the Paper
"All agencies throughout history and across nations are prone to act in a dishonest and unethical manner. The proof to this hypothesis is the null hypothesis: that is, if the author has been unable to find a government agency which acts in secret, which over time has not acted in an unethical manner. A second null hypothesis would be to find a spying operation which has operated in an ethical and honest manner over a long period of time, therefore disproving the above statement.
"One can argue that any government agency requires power in order to be effective. Power comes through the purse--ability to fund, through coercion--ability to force, or through persuasion--ability to convince. None of these methods is, in and of itself, inherently unethical. One can persuade, coerce or bankroll activities in an open and above-board way."

Jean-Jacques Rousseau's "The Social Contract", 2008.
An analysis of the views of Jean-Jacques Rousseau as defined in his "The Social Contract".
2,599 words (approx. 10.4 pages), 0 sources, MLA, $ 78.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper discusses how, in his book, "The Social Contract", Jean-Jacques Rousseau explains the relationship of the individual to society. The paper relates that Rousseau emphasizes the natural law of personal rights and sovereignty and argues that any government derives its legitimate power only from the collective choice of many individuals to allow government to act as a proxy for their personal exercise of those rights directly. The paper also examines how, for similar reasons, Rousseau opposed the concept of "rightful" ownership of slaves, especially those who did not choose to become slaves. Finally, the paper discusses how Rousseau questions the legitimacy of some forms of democratic.

Outline:
Introduction
Rousseau on the Origin of Legitimate Power
Rousseau on Political Representation, Democracy, Law, and the Need for Legislators
Conclusion

From the Paper
"According to Rousseau, legitimate governmental authority can only come from the voluntary will of many people, and those forms of governmental authority that derive their power elsewhere are fundamentally illegitimate. Rousseau acknowledges that allowing the collective will to establish rules that govern individual conduct might be a form of relinquishment of individual rights. He takes the position that this apparent contradiction is resolved by the fact that it is in the interest of every individual to give the power of social policy and rule enforcement to the government, because without some form of collective power, the individual cannot enforce any legitimate social concerns at all. Finally, Rousseau questions the legitimacy of some forms of democratic representation and suggests that affiliation or allegiance to sub-groups or representative political parties cancels out some of the main benefits of the principle of individual expression in political choice."

NATO Vs. United Nations, 2008.
An argument for the use of NATO and other alliances to counter international terrorism.
1,047 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 36.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper argues that because the United Nations has proven itself an ineffective peacekeeping force and has exercised zero ability to confront terrorism, NATO and other alliance forces should be charged with preventing and combating world terrorism. The paper points out that Europe and the United States must be prepared to seriously deal with global terrorism through NATO and only then will NATO take on a useful role in the modern world.

From the Paper
"The increased use of terrorism to attack foreign nations has increased during the last decade at an alarming rate and on an even more alarming scale of destruction. Following the September 11, 2001, attack on the United States by organized terrorists, and because the United States' response to that attack has since itself come under world scrutiny and criticism, the time has arrived for the world community to take decisive action in coming to agreement on how, and by whom, action should be taken to prevent and to respond to acts of terrorism."

Domestic Terrorism, 2008.
A discussion of the terrorist phenomenon that is inside the borders of the United States.
1,720 words (approx. 6.9 pages), 11 sources, APA, $ 55.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper looks at domestic terrorism as separate from international terrorism and identifies the different approaches to political violence of people such as Mao, Che Guevara, Carlos Marighella and Franz Fanon. The paper first discusses some forms of the early domestic terrorist activities and their similarities with events taking place today. The paper then considers right-wing and left-wing terrorism as well as interest-based terrorism, using Greenpeace and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) as examples. The paper concludes that domestic terrorism represents one of the most important threats facing national security, no matter the form of terrorism they promote.

From the Paper
"Domestic terrorism has been regarded in recent times to be one of the most important threats facing internal security in the US. In order to have a complex view on the terrorist phenomenon taking place inside the borders of the United States, it is important to take into account certain theoretical delimitations and examples that would support them. In this sense, domestic terrorism must be seen apart from international terrorism."
