From the Paper
"George Orwell is best remembered as the author of two great political novels, Animal Farm and 1984, and especially by a few memorable details in the novels. Even people who have never read Animal Farm are familiar with the cardinal rule in that novel, ?All animals are created equal, but some are more equal than others,? and of course the alarming figure of Big Brother in 1984 is even better known. These novels, however, were written very late in George Orwell?s literary career after he had developed his political thought and literary craft with a great many earlier works, including novels, autobiographical essays, journalism and explicitly political essays. Almost all of these earlier writings were based at least in part on the life and experiences of the less well-known Eric Blair."

From the Paper
"If a Title 1 school doesn't meet its AYP goal for two years in a row, all the children in the school have the right to attend a non-failing school in that district. However, sometimes all the schools in that district are failing, in this case the child can be sent to a school in another district. During the years of 2002-2003 many children were not allowed to transfer from the failing schools. The reason for this was some districts did not make agreements with other districts which prevented the parents from this option."

The Evolved Role of Governance in the United States, 2008.
An explanation of how the American people use their government.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper talks about how the American government has ruled the country since its founding fathers and how it has provided a solid, reliable anchor for its citizens. The paper concentrates on the three ways in which the people of the U.S.A. use their government: defense of its citizens, services for the citizens, and provisions for its needy citizens.
From the Paper
"'The role of government has remained relatively constant since the days of our founding fathers; however, the scope is now vastly increased. With the US at a peak of world domination, it is time to reconcile the difficulties and vast divides separating social classes in the United States. Only with a truly equal opportunity for everyone regardless of race, sexual orientation, or economic background, can we call ourselves the "land of the free." Otherwise, we will forever be slaves to circumstance."

Public Service Broadcasting in Australia, 2004.
This paper discusses what the role of Public Service Broadcasting in Australia should be.
1,384 words (approx. 5.5 pages), 13 sources, APA, $ 46.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the basic idea behind Public Service Broadcasting in Australia is to serve the public without aiming to make profit. The writer points out that public broadcasters acquire money from the government, which collects taxes, and use this money to make programs for the public. The writer explains that on the other hand, commercial broadcasting's main aim is to produce programs in order to make money. The writer then discusses that the scope of public broadcasting is to cover the area, which the commercial sector of broadcasting does not cover due to the profit concerns. Thus, the writer maintains that Public Service Broadcasting's interests are (or should be) the cultural and social values that can be and must be included into the production, meeting public's needs of broadcasting in terms of education, multicultural affairs and citizenship in a democratic society.
From the Paper
"In Australia, the ABC and SBS are Public Service Broadcasting channels. They have the advantage of being free of profit making concerns, so they should provide news and current affair programs through regionally specific services. Besides, a diverse range of people who have different tastes or specialized demands should be considered as a matter of concern by Public Service Broadcasting. These public channels are also expected to produce high-quality content, which contains arts and sciences. Therefore, society can benefit from different cultural insights, on the one hand. On the other, the public can be educated on citizenship values and an accurate understanding of democracy. Finally this leads to the creation and development of a national culture and consciousness of being Australian, which includes understanding of multiculturalism and integration of differences."

Abstract
This paper studies the way media and other special interest groups, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, affects public policy and political socialization. The author defines media, special interest groups, public policy and political socialization and concludes that though the media and special interest groups do indeed notably affect America's public policy and political socialization, the public should consider their source before believing information that is presented to them.

From the Paper
"Special interest groups are thought by many people to help shape public policy. Special interest groups are a major platform from which citizens can express their opinions to policymakers. Their participation in policymaking may improve decision-making processes; they do this by supporting policies that coincide with citizen preferences and blocking policies that solely reflect the interests or wishes of the politician or the governing elite. One example of how interest groups played a role in the policymaking process is through the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The interest groups effected the legislation passed by congress after September 11 attacks. On the other hand, due to the fact that some policies often impose costs on parts of the public, the policy-makers may be blinded and not implement the most efficient policies. This results from the intense pressures that special interest groups produce."

Abstract
This paper discusses the effects of media and special interest groups on shaping public policy and political socialization. The author agrees that media and interest groups do indeed play a contributing role in shaping public policy and forming people's political socialization. The paper studies the positive and negative impacts, as well as gives examples of this influence.
From the Paper
"On the other hand, there are many positive factors that media contributes to public policy and political socialization. Media is a well known, wide spread form of publishing recent news and events, such as who may be running for political positions or just simply covering local news events. Media is presented in many ways, including newspapers, television, radio, and internet sources. Media has a strong influence on the public opinion, and without the media, many people would not realize how crucial it is to be informed about America's public policy and current events."

America's Immigration System, 2006.
Analyzes the debate over the reorganization of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).

Abstract
This paper explains that the Homeland Security Act of 2002 separated the duties of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) into three new government agencies: the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The author assesses if the creation of these agencies have successfully overcome the problems plagued by their ineffective predecessor, the INS. The paper concludes that there are problems at the USCIS, ICE, and CBP; however, they have been able to deliver certain accomplishments. The paper also concludes that proper government reform could optimize the immigration and naturalization service and improve the image of the U.S.
Table of Contents:

An Assessment of the Arguments
Conclusion and Recommendations
From the Paper
"Critics also dispute the government's reasons for its placement of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service under the Department of Homeland Security, instead of a more fitting government agency. While USCIS sibling agencies tasks serve the anti-terrorism operation of the DHS; USCIS defeats its purpose by aiding immigrants in entering the country. DHS is able to gain access to information regarding immigrants living in the country through USCIS. In order for the USCIS to produce results the organization requires the willingness of clients releasing personal information."

From the Paper
"Michigan's budget problems are largely due to revenues not keeping up with the cost of maintaining programs and policies. Most of the budget goes towards organizations or individuals that provide services - a little over 80 percent supports K-12 education, community colleges and state universities, cities, counties, Medicaid, community mental health programs and corrections. Trying to reduce spending will mean cutting these programs. Since revenue growth has exceeded expenditures, the state budget demands structural change. Michigan used their reserves to maintain current programs and policies, such as, education, health and corrections - the economy has declined, but spending pressures continues to accelerate. Since Michigan's state sales tax rate is low, difficult to fund major projects and programs. Half of the school aid fund is covered by sales tax."

Environmental Policy & The American Democratic System, 2008.
An analysis of how the American democratic system affects its environmental policies.

Abstract
This paper discusses the inherent flaws found in the American democratic system in regards to the formation of effective environmental policy. It talks about the tragedy of the commons, race to the bottom theory, spillover, and economies of scale. It advocates for the formation of a centralized governmental policy in regards to the environment. This paper supports its argument through the use of examples ranging from the struggle between Maine and the Midwest in regards to acid rain, as well as mentioning several of Nixon's environmental initiatives and what is necessary to make effective environmental policy on the federal level with the current form of American democracy.
From the Paper
"The idea of a three branch system of government comes largely in part from the fear of factions. As do the two, four, and six year terms of service assigned to the senate, house, and presidency. These provisions help to keep a system of checks and balances in which no one group can gain too much power. However they do not only stave off factions, but make it hard for the federal government to come together and institute strong cohesive environmental policy. The constitution also dictates that any power not specifically given to the federal government goes to the states which is why the current system of decentralized environmental policy making is in place, however it is time for a change."

Abstract
This paper examines how the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed by Congress with a purpose of setting a national standard for privacy protection of health information. Even though the regulations include the improvement of access to affordable healthcare insurance coverage, the paper focuses on privacy and looks at how HIPAA regulations apply to medical records maintained by healthcare providers and health plans.

Description of Act
Positive Impacts
Negative Impacts
Cost and Quality
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The HIPAA regulations protect medical records and other individually identifiable information that is written, electronically stored or communicated orally. Under HIPAA, covered health plans, doctors and other healthcare providers must provide a notice to their patients how they may use personal medical information and their rights, which patients need to sign for acknowledgment (United States Department of Health and Human Services, 2003). HIPPA laws do not restrict the ability of healthcare providers to share information needed to treat patients, but personal health information cannot be used for purposes unrelated to healthcare. Individual patients must authorize the disclosure of their personal information for marketing purposes (United States Department of Health and Human Services, 2003). "

Hence sincere effort has to start somewhere."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the effectiveness of the Transportation Security Administration with respect to airport security from September 11, 2001 to 2007.

Political Feasibility and Implementation
From the Paper
"Prior to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, airport security efforts focused primarily on screening passengers and carry-on luggage with metal detectors and X-Ray machines. Following the tragedy, Congress ordered the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to screen all checked baggage for explosives and random searches were added to security lines. Other enhancements to airline security post-9/11 included allowing pilots to arm themselves and placing air marshals on commercial flights. The new security measures and extra precautions have conflicted sharply with traveler efficiency and convenience, and pressure has built from the public to reduce this friction between safety and expediency."

Abstract
This paper discusses the build up to Katrina, the hurricane that hit the United States very abruptly in August 2005, and reports how the federal, state, and local agencies were extremely unprepared for this horrific storm and that lack of communication added to some of the main problems with the entire situation. The paper provides a comprehensive time line of events leading up to the disaster and actions taken in the following days and sets out the recommendations made afterwards to help the government be better prepared in the future for any other challenges of this nature.
From the Paper
"On August 28, 2005 a category five storm on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale with winds estimated at one hundred and seventy-five mph was heading straight for New Orleans, Louisiana. "At 7:10 a.m. EDT on August 29, Hurricane Katrina made landfall in southern Plaquemines Parish Louisiana, just south of Buras, as a Category 3 hurricane. Maximum winds were estimated near 125 mph to the east of the center" (NOAA Public Affairs, 2007).
"Hurricane Katrina was one of the strongest storms to hit the coast of the United States within the last one hundred years. Katrina caused a great deal of devastation along the Gulf Coast of the United States. Many cities and towns were destroyed by Katrina (Lawrimore, 2005). More than eighteen hundred people were reported to have lost their lives and more then eight-one billion dollars in damages occurred as a result of Katrina (Hurricane Katrina, 2005)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the need to transform the US military in order to optimize its capabilities both for overseas warfare and domestic warfare. The paper explains that there are two challenges facing the military which require its transformation: it must become a more lethal force, which can be mobilized overseas, and must play a major role in homeland security. The paper then explains that the transformation of the U.S. military is basically a plan of modernization, which integrates new concepts, organizations and technology.The paper relates that, as the Army continues to fight in more non-traditional environments, including heavily urbanized terrain, the elements of the military need to be treated holistically as part of a system-of-systems

From the Paper
"The experience of military forces in both Afghanistan and Iraq has led the U.S. administration to believe that there should be a change in the U.S. army. Both the Army and the Marine Corps that were assigned in Iraq found out that there is a need for more protection. There became a particular need for what is now known as Medium-Armor Units composed of armored vehicles that are heavier than Humvees but are lighter than Abram or Bradley Tanks. It was noted that as the tanks were effective, they were too much and are often described as "overkill" to most cases."

Civilians in Military Operations, 2007.
Looks at the role of civilians employed by the military.
910 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 32.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that civilians no longer are excluded from military operations. The author describes two categories of civilians: employees who are directly employed by the U.S. military and the contractors who are not directly employed. The paper reports that the increasing number of civilians involved in military operations can be attributed to deep military budget cuts, the privatization of functions that can be done outside the military and a growing reliance on contractors to maintain sophisticated weapons.
From the Paper
"The civilian employees are directly employed by the U.S. Military and in this case, the military have control over the detailed physical performance of civilian employees. Civilian employees are under the command of a military commander which supervises, controls and disciplines these civilian employees. Civilian employees sometimes work in key areas of the military such as weapons and systems maintenance, logistics and intelligence and often form an integral part of the Department of Defense."

Community Care Services Users, 2006.
Reports on the financial implications of being a user of
community care services.
850 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the primary characterisation of community care, as outlined by the government white paper 'Caring for People', is people whose needs extend beyond health care to include social care and support, which they cannot arrange for themselves. The author points out that, given that statutory benefits are routinely claimed to be inadequate for the provision of disabled social care, increased pressure is placed upon the families of disabled people. The paper argues that direct funding from Westminster is inadequate to cope with increasing demands at the local level; whilst a case also could be made for asserting that local authority ineptitude is at fault for not using public money in the most effective way.
Table of Contents:
Welfare Benefits Available to Disabled People
The Potential Financial Implications of Having Social Care Needs
Charging Community Care Services Provision Policies and the Impact of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990
From the Paper
"A further group within society that suffers the financial implications of social care needs are the elderly. It is an inevitable result of a population living longer than ever, with better access to, and superior quality of health provision than ever before that there arises a serious question of how support and social care for elderly members of the community is paid for. Consecutive British governments have battled with this issue, however there appears to be little possibility of reversing the trend that has increasingly seen elderly people forced to use life savings and property assets to financially support their social care needs in their old age."

Abstract
This paper explains that the pure size of the American government requires a bureaucracy to keep order and to make it as efficient as it historically has been. The paper then describes the duties of public administrators by stressing that he or she must be knowledgeable in many areas in order for the bureaucracy to be successful. The paper also explains that the public administrator also must be willing to take advice from other people so that the ever changing and evolving bureaucratic system runs smoothly.
From the Paper
"Another limitation of public administration is how to effectively establish positive working relationships among the federal, state and local agencies. Furthermore, many of these agencies have the burden of carrying out policies based on broad, vague statutes with little guidance or framework to make it happen. Jun discusses how several common characteristics of public administration create limitations such as vertical governing, professional dominance, instrumental-technical rationality, reified bureaucracy, complexity and dualistic thinking."

Contempt of Court and Free Speech, 2008.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the mindset of the law-makers in the U.S. gave way to the making of the Constitution, and more importantly the inclusion of an entire chapter that would particularly safeguard the rights and interests of the people against all other authorities in the country. These were known as the Fundamental Rights, which would cater to the needs of the average man in the country, thereby providing him respite even in the face of the highest authority in the nation if his rights were to be violated in any instance. With regard to the topic of contempt of court and free speech, the writer looks at the debate between the will of a higher authority that is the judiciary and the most basic yet unavoidable right of the common man, i.e. the right to freedom of expression. Since the project topic seems to be a conflict between the two, the researcher first defines or throws light on what both of them hold. The researcher then discusses both the aspects of this issue, thereby trying to draw a conclusion with regard to what finally over-rules; authority or right.
Outline:
Introduction
Chapter 1- Contempt of Court: A Punishable Offence
Chapter 2- Freedom of Speech: A Fundamental Right
Chapter 3- Contempt of Court vs. Free Speech
Chapter 4- Position of the Indian as well as English law in the context of Contempt of Court
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The present case is one of critical analysis and amazement as to how irresponsible and callous the media can be, in the pretext of doing their job. The fact that such media persons do not understand the implication of their publications, attacking and impugning the very integrity and character of the judges, is indeed, a very disgraceful thing to happen in the context of freedom of speech and expression. Nevertheless, in all this process the publishers got what they wanted- intense publicity and profits at the expense of a panel of a few judges. And all the judiciary did in this respect was to let them off on the basis of a tendered apology. This does send negative signals to the mass at large, that might start thinking that they can say and do anything they want to in the exercise of their freedom of speech and expression, and can get away with the same by tendering false apologies to the Court, to escape punishment. In this way, not only did the reputation of the judiciary suffer a blow, it also did not succeed in meting out proper justice to the wrong-doers by simply letting them loose."

Abstract
This paper states that the methods, utilized by the U.S government to recruit military personnel, is a shameful process often specifically targeting certain groups of underprivileged students. Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC), the high school version of ROTC, targets poor, black and Latino children, who have limited life options. The author points out that the armed forces expends vast amounts of money for advertisements enticing young people, for schools visits and for free video games, which simulate actual training. The paper concludes that some of these children become trained killing machines committing terrible atrocities, which mark them for life. These children, who follow orders like a trained dogs, are faultless victims of war.
From the Paper
"The processes paramount recruitment tactic remains the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC), the high school version of ROTC that was established by an act of Congress in 1916. This program was created to develop citizenship and responsibility in young people. JROTC is currently experiencing the most rapid expansion in its history. Junior ROTC provides both citizenship and leadership experience for today's high school students. The program instructs students in public service, civic values and personal responsibility. Junior ROTC is not a military recruitment program but is based on proven motivational training and classroom teaching
methods."
