Abstract
This nine page paper examines why global warming has become the primary threat facing polar bears. The writer looks at the Arctic polar bear population, which has been estimated to be approximately twenty-five thousand, of which about fifteen-thousand are in Canada, and has been impacted in a number of negative ways by climate change caused by air pollution. For example, the writer notes studies which have documented measurable effects in the body sizes and reproductive success of bears at Hudson's Bay and in other Arctic regions, and data that indicates that these changes are due to gradual climate change in the Arctic because of global warming.
From the Paper
"Based upon studies conducted over the last twenty years, many scientists have concluded that global warming has become the primary threat facing polar bears. The Arctic polar bear population, which has been estimated to be approximately twenty-five thousand, of which about fifteen-thousand are in Canada, has been impacted in a number of negative ways by climate change caused by air pollution. (Stirling 12) For example, studies have documented measurable effects in the body sizes and reproductive success of bears at Hudson's Bay and in other Arctic regions, and data indicates that these changes are due to gradual climate change in the Arctic because of global warming."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Protecting the polar bear from the direct and indirect threats posed by global warming is going to require a multi-national effort. First, the nations of the world, particularly those with a stake in protecting polar bears, must become more serious about global warming. For example, the United States can sign and adhere to the Kyoto Protocol, which calls for the reduction of harmful greenhouse gases, among other measures. A decade after this landmark agreement was first struck, the U.S. is still not a signatory, even though it only calls for a 5 percent reduction in emissions by industrialized nations (Hillman, et.al., 168). The U.S. is also the world's largest producer of carbon emissions, as the average American's carbon contribution is five time the world average (Hillman, et.al., 35)."

From the Paper
"Bears are animals that are found all over the world. No matter what the climate, you can find a species. Most bears have the same features; powerfully built bodies, long heads, short rounded ears, and small eyes (Grizmick?s Encyclopedia). Most bears also have five long toes with arched claws that are incredibly sharp. In this paper I have decided to discuss the three most predominant species. ? No other animal has made such a strong impression on the peoples of the Northern Hemisphere; as long as the lion was still unknown, the bear was considered to be the king of beasts. (Grizmick?s Encyclopedia).? "

Abstract
This paper takes the classic children's story of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" and puts an interesting spin on it. By interpreting the story through modern eyes, the author of the paper provides a humorous version of an all-time favorite.
From the Paper
"When reading the classic story of Goldilocks and the three bears, one often wonders what drove Goldilocks to do the dastardly things that she did. The overwhelming evidence would seem to indicate that Goldilocks was a vagrant who scoured the forest ,looking for people to take advantage of, or possibly steal from, because of her lack of parental units. She had no home or food; she was a drug addict, and an overall troublesome girl."

Abstract
This paper relates that Vanderhaeghe's own past is clearly an important factor in the themes that he explores as well as in the setting, plot and character elements of his stories. The paper discusses the character of Dieter, from "Dancing Bear", who is an old man that dreams of his younger self and the experiences he had with bears. The paper also shows how the social and literary contexts of the Canadian prairies in the second half of the twentieth century influenced Vanderhaeghe when he wrote "Dancing Bear".
From the Paper
"As someone who has lived in Saskatchewan for most of his life, Guy Vanderhaeghe is very adept at describing characters and scenes that evoke the Canadian prairies in the twentieth century. This knowledge of and pride in his home province is particularly evident in his short story, Dancing Bear. Vanderhaeghe's own past is clearly an important factor in his work, both in relation to the themes that he explores as well as in the setting, plot and character elements of these stories (Parker). Additionally, the social and literary contexts of the Canadian prairies in the second half of the 20th century have affected Dancing Bear specifically, and Vanderhaeghe's work in general."

The Right to Bear Arms, 2006.

3,790 words (approx. 15.2 pages), 20 sources, MLA, £ 65.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes an historical look at what the framers of the U.S. Constitution meant regarding the right to keep and bear arms and looks at some of the controversial issues associated with this right. The paper then uses this information to present arguments favoring the right to bear arms. The paper also contrasts American policy on the right to bear arms with that of other countries and uses this contrast to further support the argument that American citizens should and do have the right to keep and bear arms.
From the Paper
"When the Constitution went up for ratification, there was much debate in state conventions and two opposing forces emerged. One of the sides was the Antifederalists, who were against the government having the power to dispossess individuals of their rights such as the right to keep and bear arms. The other side was the Federalists, who were desperately trying to have the Constitution ratified and maintain a centralized standing army. The Federalists guaranteed that people would be armed so that they could stop a tyrannical standing army. The Anti-federalists were concerned that people could be overwhelmed by the established standing army without one explicitly written right preserving the individual to keep and bear arms."

The Right to Bear Arms, 2007.
This paper claims that the right to bear arms is a constitutionally protected right.

Abstract
The paper discusses the controversy surrounding the interpretation of the Second Amendment's provision regarding the right to keep and bear arms. The paper explains how some posit that this refers to the people's collective right as a members of a well-regulated state militia, while others claim it refers to each individual's rights. This paper argues that the Second Amendment was designed not only to protect the militias; it was also intended to protect an individual's right to own and bear arms.
Outline:
Introduction
Historical Background
Constitutional Interpretation
"The Right of the People"
"To Keep and Bear Arms"
"A Well Regulated Militia, being Necessary to the Security of a Free State"
Challenges to the Second Amendment
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Today, the interpretation of the Second Amendment has polarized the American people among two different views (Greenslade, 2004). Those opposed to private ownership of firearms argue that there is no individual right to keep and bear arms because the Second Amendment refers to the people's collective right as a members of a well-regulated State militia. In contrast, the individual rights view holds that individuals may bring claims or raise challenges based on a violation of their rights under the Second Amendment just as they do to vindicate individual rights secured by other provisions of the Bill of Rights. This view appears to be the most valid after placing the Second Amendment in appropriate historical and Constitutional context."

The Right to Bear Arms.
This paper discusses, based on the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, the "right to bear arms" issue.

Abstract
This paper explains that, today, the interpretation of the amendment has polarized the American people into two different views: (1) Those opposed to private ownership of firearms argue that there is no individual right to bear arms because the Second Amendment refers to the people's collective right as a members of a well-regulated State militia, and (2) those in favor hold that individuals may bring claims or raise challenges based on a violation of their rights under the Second Amendment. The author points out that the "rights of the people" means the rights of individuals; the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right, just as are all rights in the first ten amendments, the Bill of Rights. The paper relates that the phrase "keep arms" at the time of the writing of the United States Constitution usually indicated the private ownership and retention of arms by individuals as individuals, not the stockpiling of arms by a government or its soldiers.

"To Keep and Bear Arms"
"A Well Regulated Militia, Being Necessary to the Security of a Free State"
Conclusion
From the Paper
"When "right" is used together with "the people" the right must belong to individuals because people are not a State or the Militia. Evidence shows that the only truly "collective" use of the "the people" at the time of the Founding was to refer to the people as they existed apart from government or any service to it. For example, the Declaration of Independence refers to "one People" dissolving their political bonds with another and forming their own nation, and "We the people" created the Constitution in ratifying conventions chosen "by the People" of each State. Thus, when "the right of the people" appears in the Constitution, it indicates a personal right of individuals, whether that be a right to assemble and petition, to be secure in one's person and property, or to keep and bear arms."

Abstract
Often things that we experience as children impact the way we develop as adults. The paper shows that in Judith Minty's "Killing the Bear," a woman painfully comes to grips with a loss of security from her childhood. She combines the past and present, representing her great loss as a bear that she has come into contact with. The paper shows that in order for her to regain her security and power as an adult, she must defeat the bear, which is a symbol of her loss.
From the Paper
"Over time, the woman has developed an obsession with bears, both healthy and unhealthy. She gathers information about people honoring and worshiping the animal: the Gilyak tribe honors him, Ainus women suckle the cubs, in Lapland he was the King of Beasts. (91) Yet, she also collects stories which show the bear as a cold-blooded killer, and always with the use of its claws. In the travelogue about Alaska, "his claws stretched out like fingers" and "with the sweep of a paw, he split open the head of the other" (91)."

Abstract
The writer explains that, in simple terms, a bull market occurs when there is a steady upward trend in the stocks almost across the board and a bear market is declared when there is a steady decline in stock values that lasts longer than short term. The paper explores how these markets are determined throughout the stock market's history. The paper concludes that having an understanding of the bear and bull markets is an essential ingredient to entering the stock market with confidence.
Outline:
Introduction
The Problem
What to Buy in a Bull Market
What to buy in a Bear Market
Conclusion
From the Paper
"When it comes to the stock market many Americans are confused about what it involves, how it works and what the different markets mean. Even those that invest their hard earned money into the stock market often turn to their broker for advice and leave it to that broker to handle it for them. Whether one is a serious investor, a hobbyist or planning on becoming a stock broker it is important to understand certain terms and elements about the market. One of the more interesting debates when it comes to the stock market is in deciding whether a bull or bear market has occurred. Analysts around the nation gather in front of historic records, examine current trends and with their most serious face pronounce a bull or bear market depending on how they have interpreted those elements."

The Right to Bear Arms, 2009.
A strong argument for the right to bear arms in American society.

Abstract
The paper claims that guns have become a political scapegoat to avoid dealing directly with the core issues that prompt gun-related violence, deaths and massacres. The paper passionately argues for the preservation of the right to bear arms, asserting that it is a civil liberty guaranteed in the Constitution. The paper discusses the Brady anti-gun campaign's arguments and contends that gun control does little to curb criminal possession of firearms. The paper argues further that American citizens must have unrestricted access to the weapons that can protect them from being killed by criminals. The paper even believes that stripping citizens of the right to bear arms amounts to tyranny.
From the Paper
"Despite Constitutional protection of the "right of the people to keep and bear arms" embedded in the Second Amendment, gun control remains a hotly debated political issue. As if the Constitution did not clearly state that the right to bear arms is as fundamental as the right to free speech, gun control advocates continue to barrage the media with misleading messages about the damage weapons do to American society. The Second Amendment guarantees that the right of the people to keep and bear arms "shall not be infringed," meaning that gun control is a moot point: an issue that should not be debated in the first place. Gun violence is a problem; criminal behavior is a problem. However, guns are not the root cause of the problems endemic in American society."

Abstract
This paper examines the second amendment of the United States Bill of Rights, namely the right to bear arms. It explores Thomas Jefferson and the Continental Congress?s development of the American Constitution. The paper describes the current debate if the right to bear arms is being misused or misinterpreted.
From the Paper
"When the Thirteen Colonies declared their independence in 1776 they broke away from one of the most powerful nations in the world at the time, with the signing and ratification of the Bill of Right and the Constitution they brought forward a series of legal documents that were envisioned to provide for any instance and grievance they had felt under Great Britain. Moreover, the idea of removing themselves from any contact with Great Britain was to secure a free future from the tyranny of the Crown."
