Abstract
This paper explores whether societies in which guns are available to the general public are likely to have lower incidence of violent crimes than those where guns are not readily available. The paper provides particular reference to Joyce Lee Malcolm's "Guns and Violence: The English Experience." It concludes that Malcolm's analysis requires us to consider how a range of variables - from culture to crime statistics methodology -inform and, to a degree, transform the parameters of this debate.

From the Paper
"This being said, however, one critical factor distinguishes Hickock and Smith from the defendants in the My Lai case; a factor that is evident in Capote's choice of a title for his text: "In Cold Blood". While there are indications that Hickock and Smith may have been troubled to some extent by the brutality of their murders of the Clutter family, this unease did not prevent them from planning on similarly murdering and stealing while hitchhiking across the American south. Both men were not only free agents - to the extent that they were not under orders or a part of a larger organization engaged in an enterprise such as war - but neither were in fear of their lives from victims or those associated with their victims. Thus, self-defense cannot be said to enter into their crimes in any way, shape or form. Instead, and unlike the killings at My Lai, the sole purpose of the murders committed by Hickock and Smith were to further their lifestyle of gaining money through theft without work; the murders simply being a way of ensuring that there were no witnesses who could finger Smith and Hickock for the thefts."

Human Cloning, 2008.
An analysis of the current issues that involve both religion and medical science in relation to developments in human cloning.
1,315 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 44.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper analyzes the medical issue of human cloning, noting that it is pertinent to ethics, since it involves a great deal of scientific questions as to how science is "playing God." The religious perspective is analyzed through Roman Catholic arguments against human cloning to better understand how this conflict is developing between both factions. In essence, this paper analyzes the two sides of the "playing God" issue in relation to the medical scientific advancements of human cloning.

From the Paper
"The Catholic point of view on procreation is an act that occurs from the union of two people, those married under God's union and vows. Cloning is direct violation of the act of two people, and socially makes for an unethical third party (scientists) to be involved in this sacred union between two people. This perspective often brings forth the changing element of a society that is steadily becoming less dependent on religious doctrines, which invariably must give way to the empiricism of modern science. In essence, Catholic Bishops oppose cloning of new human lives because mankind does not have the right to play God."

Stem Cell Research, 2008.
An analysis of the uses of stem cells in the treatment of disease and the pressure that has been placed on legislators regarding stem cell research.
1,283 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 43.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper discusses stem cell research. It discusses the function of stem cells within the body and the ways that they can be manipulated to function in different parts of the body. The paper then looks at the current uses of stem cells in the treatment of various diseases. Finally, the paper discusses the pressure that has been placed on legislators regarding stem cell research.

From the Paper
"It is evident from the research that the issue of stem cell research continues to be a concern throughout society. With states now taking the initiative to ensure that funding exists for embryonic stem cell research, the likelihood that diseases that have caused reduced functioning and death of people will someday be a concern of the past exists. Diseases such as hear disease, Parkinson's disease and diabetes are all believed to have the possibility of being eliminated from the lives of sufferers and being treated effectively for those in the future that develop these life threatening illnesses. It is clear, therefore, that continued research will allow for a healthier future for all people if the research is supported throughout society."

Intersections Between Climate Science and Politics, 2008.
A discussion of the global warming debate between science and politics.
2,184 words (approx. 8.7 pages), 10 sources, APA, $ 68.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper examines the basic evidence of scientific consensus on the issue of climate change and reports on the science and facts behind that consensus. The paper explains that it is quite evident, after even a cursory examination of this information, that global warming is a real phenomenon with human beings as the primary causative factor. The paper looks at the politicization of the science of global warming in order to demonstrate how actors within politics and the media, especially in the United States, have consistently manipulated scientific data and language, and deceived the public into believing there is actually a scientific debate regarding global warming. The paper then points out that climate change is no longer being ignored in policy forums and debates, and a significant political shift in the United States is already occurring. In conclusion, the paper shows that today, the reality of global warming is becoming more accepted and the new question is what can be done about it, and this is a promising development for the future of intersections between climate science and politics.

From the Paper
"When it comes to the issue of climate change, the media and science aren't exactly on the best of terms. Climate change, especially in the United States, is a major political issue argued with fervor and passion from both sides of the apparent debate. What is so intriguing about this political furor is the fact that the scientific community has largely come to a resounding consensus that not only is global warming real, but also that it is largely anthropogenic in origin."

Kant and Capital Punishment, 2008.
This paper explores Kant's theory of deontology and his views on the death penalty.

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper provides an overview of Kant's deontology theory and its implications. The paper then argues that Kant's theory presents indisputable support for the death penalty in our society today.

Outline:
Kant's Deontology
Kant and the Death Penalty
Conclusion

From the Paper
"To start with: what is deontology? The word's most basic definition is etymological: the study of duty. Unlike utilitarian philosophy, which can be summed up in the rather trite and shopworn "the end justifies the means," deontology does not assign much importance to an action's consequences, focusing instead on its motives. Or, more concisely: deontology detects moral worth in motives, rather than in outcomes (McCormick 8d). The implications of this are monumental, as Kant is basically arguing that an action may lack moral worth even if its outcome is desirable and, conversely, that an action whose outcome is questionable may be considered "good." To understand these conclusions, it is important to elaborate further on Kant's ideas of categorical duty as opposed to contingent, or hypothetical, duty."

Race and Ethnicity Today, 2008.
This paper examines the impact of race and ethnicity on social and political life in the United States.
1,218 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 41.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper discusses how race and ethnicity significantly impact social and political life in the Unite States, from discrimination in the workplace to racial profiling in law enforcement. The paper discusses how, due to its its impact at every level of American society, racial discrimination generates political debate and has produced positive government responses such as affirmative action and negative responses such as racial profiling.

From the Paper
"In order to reduce the impact of racial discrimination, affirmative action policies have been created and implemented all across the United States. According to Truesdell (2001) these policies are designed to establish result-oriented programs in which employers and managers can commit their good faith efforts towards pursuing, attaining, and maintaining equal employment opportunities for their fellow managers, their employees, and for all people seeking employment with their company or organization, regardless of race, gender, or religion."

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
Terrorism has become embedded in almost everyone's vocabulary, it is one of those terms, that not everyone knows what it means, but it seems to be surrounded with negative connotations. However, it is not surprising that terrorism is sometimes abetted with state sponsorship and is supported by many governments whether intrinsically or extrinsically. As such international peace-keeping efforts have to change focus and address these internal dynamics. This paper explores some of the necessary mandates that are needed by personnel dealing with these issues.

Outline
Abstract
Introduction
Basic Communication, Conflict Resolution, & Negotiation
Communication: The Essential Element of a Successful Training Program in a Peace-Keeping Environment
Conflict Resolution & Negotiation in a Peace Keeping Environment
Techniques of Motivation in a Diverse Peace-Keeping Environment
Individual Decision-Making and Group Behavior
Leadership Training For Supervisors in these Organizations
Conclusion

From the Paper
"Conflict resolution and peace keeping has been an issue of controversy for many years. However, with the proper training mechanism and structure, then peace and humanitarian operations can be the champions of a successful organizational initiative. It is therefore imperative that there be a comprehensive discourse embedded in the training structure for these operations that can analyze elements of the foreign conflict resolution and negotiation strategies. The connection between an effective training program or structure with the overall success of conflict resolution and negotiations will depend primarily on how well the program identifies the necessary political, economic, and cultural realms that have been affected by the dimensions of the operations. Overall, it is clear that conflict resolution and negotiation policy training is reactive and preventative, since it would be devised to counter, and to prohibit actions that were seen as harmful to the peace initiatives."

The Right to Die, 2008.
This paper analyzes the ethical and legal right to die, as discussed in "Unplugged: Reclaiming Our Right to Die in America" by William Colby.
923 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 32.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper summarizes the Terri Schiavo case and explains William Colby's argument, as presented in his work "Unplugged: Reclaiming Our Right to Die in America", that the law should respect an individual's inherent right to die if the health circumstances are too severe. The paper then asserts that the Federal Justice Department did not have the right to prevent Oregon from allowing patient-assisted suicides. The paper also looks at the "Cruzan v. Director, Missouri Dept. of Health" landmark case that allowed persons the right to deny life-saving medical assistance. The paper is of the opinion that the chapter "My Living Will" of Colby's book is the most intriquiging, since it describes the personal and legal foundation for denying life support systems.

From the Paper
"The Terri Schiavo case represents a critical turning point for a patient's right to die, which helped to determine a legal framework under a caregiver's consent to terminate life support systems. With the Governor of Florida and the President of the United States creating legislation to prevent the death of Schiavo, the inherent right to life or death to a patient was denied after the lower court of Pinellas County decided that Schiavo would not want to live in a persistent vegetative state. However, the Supreme Courts of the United States and Florida decided correctly that the long-term state of Schiavo's suffering and lack of revival determined that her caregivers had a right to take away her feeding tube. This was the correct choice due to the fact that her long-term placement within hospital care had decidedly taken a course that would be deemed unconscionable to keep supporting Schiavo's lack of utility (to interact with other people) and to prevent a decent quality of life. The higher courts decided that her caregivers had the right to decide on Schiavo's assisted death due to the nature of her condition and the unethical medical authority that let her continue in such a condition."

The Bush Doctrine and Iraq, 2008.
This paper contends that the Bush Administration misled Congress and the American people in order to launch a preemptive war against Iraq.
2,137 words (approx. 8.5 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 66.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper discusses the Bush doctrine of preemptive war and its manifestation in the Iraq War. The paper provides evidence that the Bush Administration provided fraudulent justifications and employed a mass media disinformation campaign in order to gain support for the war in Iraq. The paper highlights the failure of this invasion and emphasizes that this was aggression disguised as self defense.

From the Paper
"Analyzing the Bush doctrine as it relates to the war in Iraq requires examining the covert motivations of the Bush Administration while applying a credibility test to the "evidence" it offered to justify military intervention in Iraq. As Pitt and Ritter (2002) warned, once this "evidence" is dissected and compared to actual conditions in Iraq before the invasion, it is clear that Bush Administration "evidence" was systematically exaggerated, contrived, and concocted, and then peddled through the mass media to build a fraudulent case for war against Iraq."

The Patriot Act and Private Security, 2008.
This paper considers how the implementation of the Patriot Act has altered the scope of private security within the United States and abroad.
1,942 words (approx. 7.8 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 61.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper discusses how the Patriot Act has supported the expansion of private security within the nation and globally. The paper relates that this growth has become a positive factor for the nation, its businesses and the government because of the expertise that private security officers can provide. The paper also explores, however, the negative outcomes that have been associated with private security agencies who have used the power awarded to them under the Patriot Act to function inappropriately and arbitrarily determine the fate of innocent people. The paper concludes that the continued success of these agencies will be dependent on their ability to apply the provisions of the Patriot Act in an ethical manner.

From the Paper
"The United States Patriot Act, or the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, was signed into law in October of 2001 following the terrorist attacks of September 11th. It was the intention of the act to provide for federal authority to gather information, provide for knowledge about terrorists prior to their ability to act against the United States and aggressively monitor suspected activities in order to prevent the events of 9/11 from reoccurring. While there did not appear to be initial significant changes in the private security industry following the 9/11 attacks related to procedure, as time has progressed the focus on terrorism has monumentally changed the core of private security functions for many personnel. This has created conflict for some agencies that have been forced to release information that is confidential to the support of businesses and the individuals that interact with those companies."

Radiological Dispersion Devices, 2008.
An analysis of the effects of radiological dispersion device (RDD) explosions and the danger that they pose to the United States.
933 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 33.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper discusses radiological dispersion devices (RDDs) and analyzes how easy they are to access and to construct. The paper then discusses which nations are likely to have access to RDDs. In addition, the paper analyzes the effects that can be expected for those who are exposed to an explosion of RDD and the damage that they cause in the form of gamma, beta and alpha emitters.

From the Paper
"One other nation that comes to mind is Iran. This country's harboring of terrorist organizations (just the sort of organizations that are most likely to utilize RDD weaponry) is commonly-known but what is arguably less-appreciated (at least by the general public) is its close historic relationship to the aforementioned Russia. To wit, Russia has historically made many contributions to Iran's nuclear weapons program and is generally perceived as a nation that enjoys a substantial diplomatic relationship with Iran (Orlov & Vinnikov, 2005). As a result, it is quite easy to see terrorist organizations residing within Iran - and looking for low-tech and cost-effective weapons to unleash upon the west - using Iranian contacts within Russia to secure RDDs. At the very least, radioactive material such as Strontium-90 can find its way within Iran's borders from Russia with troubling ease."

Immigration to Los Angeles, 2008.
An explanation of the theories regarding the positive and negative aspects of immigration to Los Angeles.
1,306 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 44.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper discusses the various theories and explanations put forward to discredit Los Angeles' burgeoning immigrant population. It looks at the negative and the positive aspects of immigration to a city and how the negative aspects can be overcome. The paper concludes by suggesting that the theories that show immigration in a negative light are simply foolish.

From the Paper
"The theory or the idea that illegal immigrants (or immigrants in general) strain the capacity of Los Angeles to provide adequately for all its citizens are clearly a little more complex than some would believe. However, it is wrong-headed to proceed from there to the conclusion that immigrants are not responsible to a very significant extent for many of the health problems now wracking Los Angeles; after all, as long ago as the middle 1990s, studies were showing that an appreciable percentage of tuberculosis cases in Los Angeles were from recent immigrants - especially Filipino and Mexican recent immigrants (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 703-707). Without question, uncontrolled immigration into any large urban center is extremely dangerous and has grim health implications."

September 11, 2001: Why Is America a Target?, 2008.
An analysis of the relationship between the Arab/Israeli conflict in the Middle East and terrorism in America.
2,019 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 63.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper questions why America was attacked on 9/11 and, in order to understand why America will continue to be a target of terrorism, the paper examines the broader issue of Israeli/Arab enmity in the Middle East. More specifically, the paper discusses the violence between Israelis and Muslims that has triggered the Arab/Israeli wars and how this affects the United States and their relationship to terrorism both on their shores and abroad.

From the Paper
"Neo-conservatives like Rumsfeld (2002) have argued that ultimately, the ideology of mindless hatred that motivates Muslims to blow up innocent people on buses and trains and fly airliners into buildings full of innocent people in the name of "justice" must be repeatedly denounced by every Western government and must be relentlessly discredited through whatever methods necessary. They believe that people who take part in or support such atrocities, or contend that they are legitimate and that their perpetrators are heroic defenders of Islam do not deserve to have their "grievances" addressed by the civilized world."
"American neo-conservatives insist that the military occupation of Iraq must continue indefinitely and that Iran and Syria must be attacked for being state sponsors of terrorism, but this approach has had nightmare consequences. The occupation of Iraq is a fiasco, the Middle East has become dangerously destabilized, and there has been an alarming increase in terrorism worldwide."

Terrorism Policy, 2008.
This paper looks at definitions of terrorism and their effects on terrorism policies.
944 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 33.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper discusses how a terrorism policy is contingent upon the definition of terrorism prevalent at a given time and looks at the terrorism policies of the past. The paper discusses the serious implications for how we define the word terrorism. The paper also explains that, used too broadly, the definition can limit the ability of legitimate guerrilla organizations to fight oppressive regimes, but used too restrictively, it can make a nation vulnerable to unforeseen attacks.

From the Paper
"The issue of global terrorism has become a major public concern in the past decade or so and particularly since the attacks of September 11, 2001. It is a natural response to terrorist attacks and activity that governments and lawmakers will attempt to formulate policies to deal with the problem. It seems logical to conclude that without clear and consistent sets of policies and procedures to deal with such a multi-faceted and complex problem, it will not be possible to effectively combat it or fight it on almost any coherent level."

Capital Punishment in South Carolina, 2008.
An analysis of the capital punishment laws in South Carolina compared to other states and a discussion over their future.

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of the capital punishment statute in South Carolina from 1912. It discusses the debate over the laws and the current situation. The paper also compares the capital punishment laws between the different states and how they have been applied. In addition, the paper examines the arguments against the death penalty and suggests that the death penalty will slowly deteriorate into nothing.

From the Paper
"Basically, there are some people who believe that the death penalty should continue especially if they were victims or relatives of the victims. If the death penalty happens in one or two states only and people see that the murder rate declines when trials are set in those places, the boundaries would definitely change. In other words, if a murder happened in Columbia, South Carolina and the trial was set in Texas since the death penalty exist and all evidence pointed that way and was convicted, sentence to die, and executed; other states may join in to decrease murder rates."

Cultural Relativism and Feminism, 2008.
This paper discusses human rights versus the right to cultural self-determination and group rights.
2,428 words (approx. 9.7 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 74.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that one of the key tensions in contemporary feminist theory is the tension between cultural rights on the one hand, and gender equality rights, that is, women's human rights, on the other hand. It is argued that cultural relativism cannot be allowed to supersede universal rights, and therefore that radical cultural relativism must be rejected. The writer maintains that at most, a partial cultural relativism may be accepted - but what is really needed is an ongoing debate to try and arrive at universal human rights that can be agreed on globally. Whatever these rights turn out to be, the key point that is argued is that claims of cultural relativism function to preserve male privilege, just as in the West, rhetoric about traditional family values has tried to hold the fort against the introduction of basic human rights, such as votes for women and marriage for same-sex couples. The appeal to culture or tradition does not automatically confer legitimacy on unjust customs.

From the Paper
"One solution is to try to reform these cultures from within. The problem is that within a paradigm of collective rights, this is often neither practical nor possible. It is argued that Nagengast (1997) has a better solution, when she proposes that what is really needed is continuing debate, with a view to arriving at a consensus as to what would constitute universal rights - and that while we are doing this, radical cultural relativity must be rejected.
"Coomaraswamy notes that Asian scholars have also suggested a way of reframing this debate, by couching it in terms of Asian values as specifically non-Western values. In this reframing, the key point that is argued is that Western values privilege individual rights over communal values .."

The Ethics of Advertising to Children, 2008.
A discussion of the ethics of advertising to children.
2,630 words (approx. 10.5 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 79.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper looks at that question of whether advertising directed at children is ethical. It points out that the amount of advertising targeting children continues to grow. Children view an estimated 360,0000 advertisements on television before graduating from high school. The paper also claims that, not until the early 1970s, was advertising directed at children seen as a problem in the United States. The paper argues that, although studies show that children under the age of seven cannot distinguish the difference between an advertisement and fact, there is little if any regulation of advertising directed at children within the United States. The paper compares the US to other countries, which have adopted the philosophy that advertising directed at children is immoral and have stepped in with varying levels of regulation. The paper concludes that, regarding television, it is unlikely there will be any restrictions placed on advertisers; however, with the proliferation of sites such as MySpace, YouTube, blogging, and other future technological advances to the Internet, there may eventually be a public outcry for more stringent regulations.

Notable Examples of Advertising to Children

From the Paper
"In the US, there are currently few policies or standards for food advertising and marketing aimed at children. The advertising industry maintains self-regulatory policies established by the Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU) of the National Council of Better Business Bureaus. CARU's guidelines apply to all forms of children's advertising, but it has no legal authority over advertisers and can only seek voluntary compliance. CARU has a group of about 20 advisors and 35 supporters, many of whom are from the food industry, such as Burger King, Frito-Lay, McDonald's, General Mills, Nabisco and Hershey. The CARU voluntary guidelines list seven basic principles, which address areas such as product presentation and claims, endorsement and promotion by program characters, sales pressures, disclosures and disclaimers and safety concerns."

Cloning of Human Beings, 2008.
This paper argues that the cloning of human beings should be outlawed worldwide.
750 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 26.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that cloning offers the prospect of scientists being able to create a new individual genetically identical to another person. The writer points out that the science to do this has almost been perfected. The writer notes that some people believe that cloning technology should be vigorously developed, as it offers an enormous potential to cure diseases and so reduce human suffering. However, this essay argues that this potential benefit is outweighed by the massive potential ethical problems. Therefore, it is argued that cloning of human beings should be outlawed worldwide.

From the Paper
"One compelling reason to ban cloning is with regard to the human rights of potential cloned beings. Things that are manufactured are usually, by definition, property, and so do not have human rights. Thus, if a company were to clone human beings, it could possibly have the power to use these people as "spare parts" for rich clients. This potential ethical minefield was explored in the recent film, The Island. In this film, rich people have clones made from their DNA, and "store" them in an underground facility. The clones have no idea they are clones - they think they are the survivors of a nuclear holocaust, kept confined for their own safety. When their "owners" become sick or are injured, the clones are simply killed to provide spare parts. The clones are even used for breeding purposes. In this way, a female customer of the clone company can "give birth" to her own genetic offspring without the inconvenience of being pregnant."

Ambiguity of Terrorism, 2008.
This paper looks at the concept of the term terrorism, noting its ambiguity and the implications of this ambiguity.
1,173 words (approx. 4.7 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 40.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that very few words in the English language are meant to be as intentionally ambiguous as terrorism. To some people it is simply a fighting tactic. To others it is associated with a type of person that is sneaky and underhanded. The writer points out that the term is associated with creating fear, but it also insinuates that the terrorist is immoral and illegitimate. The writer concludes that the United Nations is shortchanging the world by not having a concrete definition of the word terrorism. If they did, they would be able to identify countries that commit acts of terrorism and take the appropriate measures in response.

From the Paper
"The terrorist group, Al-Qaeda, have committed the most well known examples of terrorism. They engineered the 9/11 attacks on the United States. Their attacks are perceived as terrorism because they attacked the military and economic hubs of the United States. This attack was in response to the group's belief that Western civilization and culture were threatening their way of life.
"Their attacks had a profound impact on the psyche of the United States. It traumatized millions of Americans who either lived in one of the cities or had a connection to someone involved in the attacks. The terrorists instilled fear in Americans by making them realize just how vulnerable the country was. Airplane travel has gone from an ordinary experience to a hassle that is equal parts fear and inconvenience."
