Abstract
This paper discusses Turkish immigration to the US, focusing on three major waves of their immigration. The paper also explores whether the immigration was voluntary or involuntary and what the motivating factors were. The paper also explores what the immigrants faced upon their arrival to the United States and where the immigrants largely settled. The paper then looks at the skills they possessed and how those skills influenced the kind of jobs they were able to procure.
From the Paper
"According to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, more than 450,000 immigrants from Turkey have come to the United States since 1820. The rate of immigration has increased since World War II. Between 1930 and 1950 only about 100 immigrants entered the U.S. per year. Today, the rate is closer to 4,000 per year (Kaya 425). Immigrants from Turkey have settled in all fifty states, but the largest concentration of this immigrant group is in New York State, with the greatest concentrations in the New York City metropolitan area."

Abstract
This paper discusses the article, "Abortion and The Sexual Agenda," written by Sidney Callahan, in which she argues that the pro-choice movement has actually been harmful to the cause of feminism, pushing women toward a male-oriented version of sexuality and allowing them to become associated with the mass killing of unborn babies. The paper discusses her arguments.
Table of Contents:
The Callahan Argument
The Moral Right to Control One's Body
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Callahan (1986) claims that, because there is no moral justification for abortion, pro-choice feminists have aligned themselves with an immoral practice that hurts the cause of feminism. But Callahan's contention that there is no moral right to control one's own body when it is keeping another being alive is undermined by society's treatment of undeveloped and under-developed conjoined twins. In these cases, society clearly recognizes a moral right to control one's body, even at the expense of another being that Callahan would define as living and human. The moral right that Callahan claims does not exist, is, in fact, very present. And if there is a moral argument that can be extended to abortion, then Callahan's contention that pro-choice feminists have aligned themselves with an immoral practice can not be fully defended."

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, £ 52.95
»
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."

Genetically Modified Foods, 2008.
An exploration of the stakeholders of genetically modified foods and their concerns.
1,654 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 10 sources, APA, £ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the range of stakeholders regarding genetically modified foods and examines the strategies used to address their concerns. The paper also explores the role of international organizations such as the World Trade Organization (WTO). The paper concludes that although technologies for genetically modified foods offer dramatic promise for meeting some of the greatest challenges of the 21st century, levels of decision-making and legislation often serve as a deterrent to their implementation.
Outline:
Introduction
Stakeholders at the National, International and Local Levels (Government & Non-Government)
Strategies and Levels of Decision Making
Examples of Legislation Related to Genetically Modified Foods
Areas in which Stakeholders Agree and Disagree
The Role of International Organizations
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The world's population is predicted to double in the next 50 years and ensuring an adequate food supply for this booming population is already a challenge. Scientists hope to meet that challenge through the production of genetically modified food plants that can help in warding off starvation as the world's population grows. As a result, in the past few years genetically modified (GM) foods have become the target of intense controversy, as competition among different stakeholders increase."

Illegal Aliens and California's Healthcare System, 2008.
Presents a research proposal to find a method of addressing the rising needs of healthcare for illegal aliens in the State of California.
3,610 words (approx. 14.4 pages), 13 sources, APA, £ 71.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reports that the impact of illegal alien immigrants on the California health care system is astronomical especially because illegal immigrants bring infectious disease into California and the United States. Many of these diseases have never been known in the United States while others were long ago eradicated from the U.S. The author stresses that California physicians must develop an initiative to address preventative health care and disease detection and treatment for this population. The paper recommends a qualitative methodology using focus groups of California private practitioners to formulate a plan through which private practitioners may provide medical care for illegal immigrant aliens.

From the Paper
"FAIR further reports: "Immigrants are often uninsured and underinsured. Forty-three percent of noncitizens under 65 have no health insurance. That means there are 9.4 million uninsured immigrants, a majority of whom are in the country illegally, constituting 15 percent of the total uninsured in the nation in the mid-1990s. The cost of the medical care of these uninsured immigrants is passed onto the taxpayer, and strains the financial stability of the health care community. Another problem is immigrants' use of hospital and emergency services rather than preventative medical care."

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."

Abstract
The paper describes community interactions between and among species that affects their continued viability. The paper then discusses how human activity and population growth alters global resources and other fundamental ecological elements of the biosphere far beyond the ability of any other species. The paper paints a picture of how humans contribute to the depletion, destruction, erosion and other dramatic changes to the ecological environment that are detrimental to nonhuman species, as well as to future generations of human beings.
Outline:
Population Growth, the Environment, and Community Interactions
The Effects of Human Activity on the Environment
From the Paper
"In principle, the relationship between population size and the environment is very simple and equally direct. Living organisms consume natural resources to provide for their energy needs. The specific mechanism through which they accomplish this vary substantially: some organisms consume other living organisms; some consume only other organisms' waste products, or scavenge their left-over consumables; still others manufacture their energy by synthesizing energy from sunlight and elements occurring naturally in the gaseous atmosphere."

The Death Penalty, 2008.
This paper argues in favor of the death penalty, using the article "Should the Death Penalty Be Abolished?" "No." by Ernest van den Haag.

Abstract
In this article, the writer introduces and analyzes the topic of the death penalty in America. Specifically, the writer discusses why the death penalty should not be abolished, making use of the article "Should the Death Penalty Be Abolished?" "No." by Ernest van den Haag. The writer argues that the death penalty can help deter crime, and since it is used for the most heinous of crimes, it sends a clear message to criminals that murder will not be tolerated in society. The writer concludes that the death penalty should not be abolished because it is a valid form of punishment in an increasingly violent society.
From the Paper
"There are many societies that punish crime by a like punishment, for example, in many Arab countries a thief is punished by losing a hand. Some people compare this to the death penalty, and maintain it is cruel and unusual because it perpetuates that "eye for an eye" type of punishment. However, some crimes are simply so heinous and violent that no other type of punishment seems valid. A person who violently murders an entire family, or a child, or a pregnant mother deserves to pay the ultimate price for their crimes. They took a life, and they should pay with their life, because it seems to be the only way to truly punish them for their deeds. A good example is Timothy McVeigh, who was convicted of the Oklahoma City Federal Building bombing. He killed over 160 innocent adults and children, and received the death penalty for his crime. In addition, he did not fight or appeal the penalty, and was eventually executed for the crime."

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, £ 25.95
»
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."

Sustainable Development, 2008.
An argument against the predictions of the Club of Rome in 1972 and those of Thomas Malthus regarding sustainable development.
1,021 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 6 sources, MLA, £ 25.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that concerns about warming, resource depletion, global poverty and starvation are generally self-correcting and a natural part of progress. It suggests that the world is naturally stable, and there is little that we can do to enhance stability regardless of which policies we pursue. The paper discusses the earlier predictions of the Club of Rome in 1972 and those of Thomas Malthus (1766-1834). It also briefly looks at the economic thought of two economists, Karl Marx (1818-1883) and Milton Friedman (1912-2006).
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Malthusians and Marxists: Commonalities of Thought
Gaps in Malthus and Marxist Ideology
Modern Malthusians and Marxists: The Club of Rome
The Reality: Resources are Expanding
What about sustainability?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Simply put, the Club of Rome was wrong. Since 1972, population has indeed carried on rapid growth, but per-capita incomes have risen even faster. From 1972, when China and India could not feed their populations, both have become food exporters. The Club of Rome made the same mistake as their "limited world" predecessors, Malthus and Marx. They thought of people as reactive automatons, unable to change their behavior or their consumption. The Club of Rome should have known better. The "Green Revolution," which increased the world's production per acre of grains by a factor of five, had started in the 1960's. The Chinese peasant, allowed to farm 1/2 acre and sell his produce since 1965, had increased overall Chinese food production by 30% by 1972."

Abstract
The paper explains that the purpose of the article "Uninsured Working Immigrants: A View From California County" was to inform the design of State efforts to provide health insurance to uninsured working immigrants. The paper examines the study design, the literature review, what the study measured and its data collection methods. The paper then looks at the study's data analysis and the authors' discussion and conclusion.
Outline:
Introduction
Body of the Article: Study Design
Literature Review
Measurement
Data Collection Methods
Analysis
Discussion and Conclusions
From the Paper
"The Pew Hispanic Centre estimated in March 2005 that the illegal population in California had been 2.4 million people in 2004. This figure shows that there is huge potential in the impact which the immigrant population is likely to have on the health care businesses and systems in California. As a result there have been calls by many to reform these systems and protect the system (Passel, 2005).
"The study by Ponce and colleagues (2005) was designed to inform the official policy design in California which was about to be undertaken at that time regarding health insurance in the State. The authors of the article were all employed by health service deliverers within California, which gave them appropriate requisite knowledge to undertake the study."

Abstract
The paper describes how many search and rescue dogs with their handlers selflessly tried to save the many humans trapped in the debris and rubble of the September 11th terrorist attack on New York. The paper paints a picture of how these dogs climbed, crawled, jumped and sniffed for a full month, without a thought for their own safety. The paper relates several stories of these canines' heroism.
From the Paper
"September 11th, 2001 will go down in history as one of America's greatest tragedies. Yet, from the death and destruction, out of the rubble and debris, came the true spirit of humankind, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. There are so many stories of heroism on that fateful day that it fills the heart with hope. Those trained to respond, those found thrust into the situation with no preparation, and all of the support from millions of people around the globe showed that tragedy could bring out the hero in everyone. And this was not limited to just those of the human persuasion, but canines as well."

Abstract
The paper focuses on a Pentagon Report that was released to the world media in 2004 predicting that the north Atlantic current would stop in the near future, bringing global catastrophe. The paper explains how ocean currents work and describes the phenomenon of global warming. The paper concludes that the events put forth in the Pentagon Report are a plausible scenario, although many scientists contest the events as something which is not likely to happen in the near future.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"The Pentagon Report was released to the world media in 2004 predicting that the north Atlantic current would stop in the near future, bringing global catastrophe. It is known that in the past the ocean currents have been affected by changes in climate, although the lack of direct observations make it difficult for scientists to discover the exact nature of changes which are currently being observed. There have however been changes noted in currents in the Pacific and in the Atlantic Oceans related to climate change, suggesting that the events predicted in the Pentagon Report may occur at some stage in the future, although it is difficult to predict exactly when. If such changes in ocean current did occur, it is likely that the changes would impact on a global scale."

The Terrorist Threat, 2008.
This paper discusses the threat of terrorism and its impact for the United States.
3,622 words (approx. 14.5 pages), 3 sources, MLA, £ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explores the likelihood of terrorist organizations using weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) or chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) weapons. The paper then considers the potential impacts of these weapons and their value for a terrorist organization. Next, the paper looks at the current intelligence system and its strengths and weaknesses for dealing with terrorism and identifies the most notable threats of terrorism facing the United States. The paper also discusses the targets that could be used by terrorist organizations to achieve the maximum effect and then outlines how intelligence systems can adapt to today's networked forms of terrorist organizations.
From the Paper
"Scholars examining the scope and breadth of chemical weapons define these devices as "weapons using the toxic properties of chemical substances rather than their explosive properties to produce physical or physiological effects on an enemy" ("Weapons of"). Although these types of weapons have been used by both the US government and terrorist groups, research demonstrates that in order to produce mass causalities from chemical weapons, terrorists would need a significant amount of chemical agent. In addition, in order to effectively release the chemicals, the terrorists would need to consider how to prevent exposure to themselves. Because of the amounts needed to produce significant causalities and the potential impact of the chemicals on the terrorist, it is unlikely that this weapon would be used by a terrorist group ("Weapons of...")."
