Abstract
This paper examines how in many ways, the creation of a global cultural community has had a positive affect upon the intellectual and social lives of all Washington D.C. residents between the ages of twelve and twenty. It also looks at how they are the best-educated generation on new information technologies and how they benefit from economic growth. The paper then discusses the negative effects of a global cultural community such as the the lack of certain skills of poor urban youth or their early exposure to various elements of modernity and industrialization. The paper also looks at how this leads to difficulties later on, especially when it comes to competing with more affluent peers.
From the Paper
"Globalization also means that jobs that once provided part-time income for students have now been exported abroad. "New technologies have replaced manual labor, mainly affecting low skilled jobs in the service sector," and many traditional low-skilled occupations that could provide the underprivileged a first foot on the job ladder have been exported overseas through outsourcing. Also: "many youth in developing countries, as well as marginalized youth in the industrialized world, are unable to fulfill their raised expectations of material well-being," that they gain from observing the lives of their richer same-age compatriots on television.

Abstract
The paper shows Colin Powell's military career through his rise to the position of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, America's highest military position. The paper focuses on Powell's influence on the wars in Nicaragua and the first Gulf War in Iraq. Powell is described as the "reluctant warrior". The writer shows how Powell believed in settling conflicts without war when possible. In conclusion, the paper explains how Powell's centrist positions in politics are an echo back to his moderation as a military commander and a Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staffs.
From the Paper
"Once returned from the war, Powell began to involve himself in the political arena. In 1972 - a year after finishing his MBA at George Washington University - he served in the White House's Office of Management and Budget under the directorship of Caspar Weinberger. He continued working in the government, holding various positions in the Department of Defense under the Carter Administration. Powell also continued his military leadership, graduation from the National War College in 1976 and rising to the position of Commander of the 2nd Brigade in the 101st Airborne Division, which was an air assault team. A year later he was offered the position of Senior Military Assistant to the Deputy Secretary of Defense, and he continued in this position until 1981. In that year he took over the post of Assistant Division Commander for Operations and Training in the mechanized 4th Infantry Division."

From the Paper
"Robert Mills' (1781-1859) Treasury Building, in Washington, D. C., is a prime example of the neoclassical architecture that the politicians, planners, and architects of the nineteenth century felt was appropriate for the American capitol. The building is located on the west side of Fifteenth Street, between Pennsylvania and New York Avenues. It was constructed in the years 1836-42. An analysis of its setting, scale, technique, and function demonstrates how the rationality and grandeur of this style were used by Mills to give suitable form to official Washington.
President Andrew Jackson appointed Mills Surveyor of Public Buildings in 1836. Mills was also responsible for the Patent Office (1836-40, now the National Portrait Gallery), the Old Post Office (1839-42, now the International Trade Commission), and the ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of the C and C++ programming languages. Specifically, it discusses some common applications of the language. C, and its derivative, C++, two of the most commonly-used programming languages in the world. They are versatile, easy to work with, and help the programmer create complicated yet functional programs for the end-user.
From the Paper
"The C programming language was developed for large-scale applications, and it is still used extensively in the UNIX environment. It is also heavily utilized in computer games. Initially, C was developed to program and organize the UNIX operating system in the 1970s. As the language evolved, it was used (and still is used) extensively to program personal computers (PCs), and develop programs for them. Originally, C was developed for use in applications that had little space for memory. C uses very little memory, and so it was perfect for these applications. As one expert writes about the language, "Yet it was designed to allow programmers to do heavy-duty 'systems' programming, working on such basic software plumbing as operating systems, compilers, and the like" (Lohr 79). Many experts have compared C to FORTRAN, because it opened up a whole wealth of applications in higher-level languages. FORTRAN gave the programmer the opportunity to program larger machines with bigger programs, especially in engineering and scientific applications."

Abstract
This essay compares the Christian religion prior to and after the rise of Constantine from A.D. 50 to A.D. 100. The author examines the influence Constantine had on Christianity in forming a single unified Orthodox Roman Church.
From the Paper
"When Constantine the Great took the throne in A.D. 306, Christianity began to be more clearly adopted as the religion of the Roman imperial government. While a struggle for spiritual authority had been going on since the time of Jesus, it was from this official embrace of Constantine that the idea of forming a single, unified and orthodox Roman church began to develop."

Abstract
"The American Presidency" is an exhibit at the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. This paper discusses the exhibit and shows its importance at conveying information of the presidency in American life, in American history and in the development of a new form of government with the Constitution. The author explains that the exhibit is a chance to see pictures of all 42 presidents, get a sense of their time, a sense of their place in history and an idea of some of their accomplishments. The exhibit conveys this as information, but through the various objects in the exhibit which came from the presidency of each man, the visitor can feel closer to these men as human beings by being in the presence of objects they may have touched and used. The paper also quotes from the booklet which accompanies the exhibition.
From the Paper
"The exhibit says much about the nature of that job--the problems faced, the responsibilities heeded, the legacy created, and the relationship of each man to the history of his time. Some of the objects in the exhibit take the visitor directly to the human being who held office, such as Abraham Lincoln's ink stand (most certainly not different from thousands of ink stands of the period, but with a different aura because of who used it), the military uniform worn by Eisenhower (which gives a good sense of the stature of the man in real terms), or President Grant's carriage. The first thing that strikes the visitor about these different objects is their normal size, for the image we have of these men and their actions is larger than life, while the objects they used are quite normal and remind us that they were only human beings after all."

Abstract
This paper explains that Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech was delivered before 250,000 people, black and white, who came to Washington, D.C. to protest how black citizens were treated and to promote the passage of laws that would help black people get equal treatment. The author points out that King's strategies were (1) to justify and encourage his black followers, (2) to reassure moderate whites that blacks only wanted their rights as American citizens and did not intend to be violent and (3) to warn the opposition (southern white racists) that blacks would not give up until they were given equal rights and legal protections. The paper relates that the pathos of the speech was delivered in poetic terms, often using Biblical language, repetition and references to famous American phrases such as "... all men are created equal".
From the Paper
"In the audience at the Lincoln Memorial were both black people (about 80%) who wanted equality, jobs, and freedom and white people (about 20%) who sympathized and wanted to help. King said black members of that audience had come "out of great trials and tribulations." They were people who had endured terrible persecutions, including lynching and police brutality. He called it "creative suffering." He implied that God would reward them because "unearned suffering is redemptive." Many of the people were from the South--Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, and ..."

Abstract
The paper takes an in-depth look into the cultural structure of Washington D.C. and the Maryland area. The writer shows how despite the apparent racial diversity and cultural richness of these two areas, there is still a large element of racial tension and conflict. The paper details the prevalence of African-Americans in the local government, and how even though the community is represented, there is still discrimination against them by the law enforcement agencies and other organizations.
From the Paper
"In 1974, Walter Washington became the first African American elected mayor of the District, followed by another African American, Marion Barry in 1978, who was arrested for illegal drug use in an Federal Bureau of Investigation sting operation in 1990 and served six month in jail (Washington). His successor was Sharon Pratt Kelly, the first African American woman to lead a city of this size and importance in the United States (Washington)."

Abstract
This paper examines how virtually all police departments have some kind of formal ?Code of Ethics?, or guidelines, that tell the members of the police force what is and is not acceptable behavior. It looks at how the police in any community have tremendous power and how it?s important that the officers to whom the public entrust their safety act in honorable and ethical ways. It explores how, because of the Internet, it is possible for concerned citizens and anyone else to view the codes of ethics for many police departments across the country. It compares and contrasts the Code of Conduct for Washington, D.C. and Denver and Detroit, which have nearly identical codes, word for word.
From the Paper
"Grundstein-Amado (2001) argues that codes of ethics should serve three purposes: to inform the public about the goals of the organization; to encourage an ethical climate within the organization; and provide a structure for resolving ethical questions. However, it could also be reasonably stated that informing the public about the goals of the organization might be better done with a mission statement and that no code of conduct could be detailed enough to provide a plan for resolving ethical questions, which could range from charges of decision-making based on race to taking bribes to unwarranted violence against arrestees."

Capital Punishment, 2002.
The paper analyzes the topic of capital punishment, focusing specifically on the Washington D.C. sniper case, to argue why the death penalty is a necessary form of punishment for violent crimes, and should not be abolished.

Abstract
The paper looks at the pros and cons of capital punishment and then examines the issue of jurisdiction in the case of the Washington D.C. sniper, since only certain states carry the death penalty. The paper also discusses a new anti-terrorism law enacted after September 11th 2001, that says a murderer can receive the death penalty if they shoot more than one person within three years. The paper argues that the death penalty is the only real deterrent to violent crime and therefore should not be abolished.
From the Paper
"Capital punishment is not a simple issue; it has long been debated and has always been divisive and emotional for both sides, both pro and anti death penalty. In the United States, the debated over capital punishment began soon after American achieved independence from England. Some Americans wondered if any person or government really had the right to take a human life (Vila and Morris xxv), and the dispute has raged ever since. Obviously, capital punishment is necessary, or so many inmates would not have been put to death in the United States. Between 1977 and 2000, 683 inmates have been put to death under their state's death penalty laws. The states use several different methods to carry out the death penalty. 519 were by lethal injection, 149 were by electrocution, 11 were by lethal gas, 2 were by firing squad, and 3 were by hanging (Editors 347).
