Abstract
This paper explains that the Oregon Supreme Court lately endorsed a disciplinary damage verdict for trespass stemming from an ecological remonstration. The author points out that, even though the law, at present, authorizes disciplinary indemnity for trespass, this memorandum makes a case that an instruction, which permits the adjudicators to reflect on reasons and viewpoints in measuring disciplinary damages for civil disobedience, breaches both the United States and Oregon Constitutions. The paper concludes that a jury instruction, which permits defendants' motivations to be a factor in measuring disciplinary damages for civil disobedience, is impermissible under both constitutional necessities; furthermore, the First Amendment is suppose to be interpreted to offer respite for civil disobedience and disciplinary damages and ought not to be allowed in this area.

From the Paper
"The defendants did not dispute the criminal guilty verdict, and they accepted legal responsibility for compensatory damages in the civil suit. On the other hand, they made a case that awarding disciplinary damages would infringe their right to free expression as assured by the Oregon Constitution, as well as, the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. Defendants made a case that all of their behaviors were expressive, and citing Wheeler v. Green, claimed that the Oregon Constitution restricts recovery for torts reasoned by ?misuse of speech? to compensatory damages, as well as, prevent any verdict of disciplinary damages. For the reason that the defendants considered all of their behavior as expressive and consequently protected from disciplinary damages, they did not demand a jury instruction to bound the evaluation of disciplinary damages to the non-expressive feature of the conduct. The jury instruction actually given was founded on Oregon Uniform Civil Jury Instruction (UCJI) 35.01. The court ordered the adjudicators that they could verdict disciplinary damages if defendants' behavior was motiveless and reasoned damage to petitioner, consecutively not only to penalize defendants but also to discourage parallel behavior by them and others in the future."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the issue of logging in national forests. It outlines the topics raised by the conservationists that logging should be banned, and by the loggers that logging is essential to the forests and to the economy.
From the Paper
"One of the most debated issues of recent years is the right of logging companies to harvest timber for profit in the national forests. Conservationists have years of data to support their position pertaining to the harmful effects of deforestation in these parks, many of which contain some of the oldest forest in existence today. Aside from environmental issues, there are other issues as well. If they are public forests, conservationists maintain that the priority should remain on the preservation of them for the enjoyment of all. Logging companies use this same argument that if they are public, then the resources should be available to everyone, including to themselves, for profit. Another issue in this debate is the use of public tax money by privately owned big business for their own profit. Conservationists easily win the support for the general public with their emphasis on the loss of natural habitat and scenic beauty, but recently it seems that the large amount of lobbying dollars presented to the President have won the battle, at least for now. This issue has two opposing sides, but many underlying issues. This paper will examine the main arguments presented by both sides."

Forest Logging, 2005.
Uses a case study to examine the effects of forest logging on the environment.

Abstract
In many cases, we tend to take for granted the relationship of forestland and the animals that reside in this natural habitat. This essay describes a case study involving forestland and the brink of extinction of the Northern Spotted Owl. The essay relates how humans, animals, and the environment must conspire for the survival of all. This essay also elaborates on both the positive and negative impacts of tree logging and the perspectives given from various viewpoints.
From the Paper
"The forest industry stands accused of some very serious crimes against the environment. It is charged with the extinction of tens of thousands of species, the deforestation of vast areas of the Earth, and the total and irreversible destruction of the ecosystem. (EPIC, 2005) Forests are home to the majority of living species, not the oceans, nor the grasslands, nor the alpine areas, but ecosystems that are dominated by trees. There is a fairly simple reason for this. The living bodies of the trees themselves create a new environment that would not be there in their absence."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that development is threatening the ancient forests and that timber companies would like to log the few remaining 1,000 year old, 300 foot trees in the Pacific Northwest. The writer explains that the destruction of the forests destroys vital ecosystems, contributes to global warming and helps create climate changes. The paper explains the effects of timber operations and discusses the forest health in the Pacific Northwest. The paper explains that the United States Forest Service is the steward of America's national forests. It explains that this agency has received much criticism and explains why. The writer states that the national forest timber sales program operated at a net loss to taxpayers and details the reasons for this. In conclusion, the writer argues that government dumping of cheap timber makes the market unpredictable for private sector commodity suppliers. The writer feels that the United States Forest Service should abandon its role as a producer of commodities as commodity production is best left to the private sector.

From the Paper
"The revised Plan fails to protect wildlife, recommends no new wilderness areas, overestimates allowable logging levels, fails to analyze grazing impacts, and largely ignores public comments. Although the Plan refers to "late succession landscapes" (i.e., mature and old growth forests) as "an important feature of a healthy forest ecosystem," only 9% of the entire forest would be restored to this condition under the new Plan -- a retreat from a projected 21% under the 1983 Plan. While the Black Hills are home to the Black Elk Wilderness, one of the most popular wild areas in the region, the new Plan calls for no more designated wilderness areas than the one percent in the old Plan. The new Plan allows grazing on all eight of the Black Hill's biologically rich "Special Botanical Areas," with no analysis of whether they are suitable for grazing. And, although the Plan praises the "scenic beauty" of the Black Hills, less than 1% of the forest is to be managed for "very high" scenic integrity. Only 12.1 percent is slated for "high" and a whopping 44.4 percent for "low."
"This is not the stewardship the American people expect. The Forest Service received 997 letters from the public in favor of preserving biological diversity in the Black Hills -- but dismissed them in less than one page of response.
"The Forest Service's shameful handling of these forests illustrates the enormity of the problem. The incentives, financing, and culture of the agency continue to be stacked against our National Forest's non-timber values."

Logging Industry and Environmentalism, 1994.
An examination of the role of the U.S. Forest Service and Clinton Administration in balancing economy and ecology, including types of logging, restrictions, leadership and the spotted owl.

From the Paper
"Balancing economic concerns with environmental ones is a complex task. The U.S. Forest Service, founded under Theodore Roosevelt, has been proud of its professional, utilitarian brand of conservatism. Along with controlling the forests for varied recreational purposes, its main mission has been to manage timber in 120 national forests.. Many now question this mission. Indeed, according to the Clinton Administration, the central issue regarding this agency is whether it has become so tied to the mission of harvesting wood that it is, in effect, a federal subsidiary of the timber industry, and if this is true, how far it should go in balancing timber with other interests..
Environmentalists and the timber industry, in a continuing war over logging on millions of acres of ancient forests on federal land, have joined the debate about the agency's future."

Saving the Trees and the Logging Industry, 2004.
Examines the environmental conflict over the ancient redwoods on the Californian coastline.

Abstract
Ancient redwoods grow on land that is owned by Pacific Lumber Company, which was a reputable, responsible lumber company for decades until it changed hands in the 1980?s. The paper explains that Texas financier, Charles Hurwitz, purchased the company and, to pay off his debts, ordered the acceleration of logging in the Headwaters Forest, an area along the Northern California coast of over 6,000 pristine acres of ancient redwoods. These trees are some of the oldest in existence and are the home of many endangered species. This paper discusses the outrage expressed by environmental activists from around the country and many loggers over the rate of deforestation. The paper argues that Pacific Lumber Company has an obligation to retain these ancient trees.
From the Paper
"There is no doubt in my mind that the trees need immediate protection. According to the article, if we wait for some rosy future when we will have responsible business practices and an enlightened people and dedicated public agencies, we will no longer have the redwoods. On the other hand, logging is necessary to build our houses and supply us with wood practices. Taking both sides of the story into consideration is important when determining if the trees and the industry can be saved."

Abstract
In 2002, the Bush administration announced the "Healthy Forests Initiative," a plan to reduce the risk of forest fires through logging. This paper critically examines the initiative, its advantages and disadvantages, and the effects it may have on the environment.
From the Paper
"Our environment and related issues have been of importance throughout recorded history. On a grand scale, countless wars have been fought over environmental concerns, most prominently resources. We depend on our environment for survival; if we destroy it, we have destroyed ourselves. Something so important is of course a matter of great concern to a government that is responsible for its people. Unfortunately, the United States government also has economic concerns. Often these two issues bear significance to each other, but it is rare that the two are reconciled or balanced. More often, one triumphs at the expense of the other."

Abstract
In this article, the writer conducts a mixed methods research in order to measure the effect of the utilization of a computer-assisted instruction (CAI) program. The writer explores the web-based Study Island program on the student's reference competency test mathematical scores. In addition, the research focuses on how the students involved in the study related to the interactive program. The writer concludes that CAI, when combined with traditional instruction, has been shown to significantly increase standardized test scores for students in mathematics testing. Further the writer points out that research has indicated that the use of computers in schools both supports learning and is useful in the development of higher order skills such as critical thinking and scientific inquiry, because the students are engaged in complex tasks in a collaborative learning environment.

"The Study Island program was designed for the purpose of assisting students in their mastery of the content of the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards for Mathematics. The interface of this program is user-friendly allowing students to go through the program by steps. This program can be used by students at any location with Internet access. Further, this program is inclusive of questions that are styled just as the New Jersey GEPA providing an accurate assessment of student progress as the school year progresses. Students are able to learn at their own pace using this program and the student is able to choose from several different formats of learning. The beauty of this program is that statistics are kept in the program which can be viewed by educators throughout the year which allows assessment of individual student's learning and the program itself as the year progresses."

Race in Faulkner & Wright, 2007.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses racism and oppression, using two literary works by Richard Wright and William Faulkner. The writer shows that Dave's longing for a gun pervades Richard Wright's short story "The Man Who was Almost a Man." The writer points out that in this intense and tense coming-of-age story, Wright employs rich symbolism, most notably the emblem of a gun as a representation of the phallic power of manhood as well as the social power manhood entails. The writer notes that William Faulkner also demonstrates sensitivity to issues of class, race, and sexuality in his short story "That Evening Sun Go Down". Further, the writer maintains that although Faulkner wrote as a white man in the South, his story reveals chilling social and economic realities just as Wright's does.
From the Paper
"Both Wright and Faulkner imply that machismo serves a destructive purpose in society. In Faulkner's story, however, the direct consequences of sexism are more apparent because Nancy, an African-American servant girl, is a key character in the story. Her husband Jubah remains faceless, and serves more as a symbol of evil than an actual character. Fear of Jubah becomes not only Nancy's fear but young Quentin's too. Quentin's love of Nancy brings out his subsequent awareness of male-female relations as well as white-black relations in Southern culture."
"Jubah's African-American heritage is, however, relevant to the story and to Faulkner's central message of social control and oppression. The fact that he is black in no way detracts from Faulkner's message about racism and social control. For example, Faulkner hints that Nancy may have been raped by a white man; her skin color renders her subhuman in the eyes of many white southerners."

Wright's - "A Short History of Progress", 2005.
A discussion of the book "A Short History of Progress" by Ronald Wright.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the book "A Short History of Progress" written by Ronald Wright. Wright argues that progress, as an ideology, is merely a myth. The paper describes how humans see their own progress and advancement in the rapid transition from an industrial economy to information based one, while the reality is that the food technology of the late Stone Age is the only one we cannot live without. The writer explains that the crops of about a dozen ancient people feed the 6 billion people of the world today.
From the Paper
"Ronald Wright is a British historian and the author of "A Short History of Progress", an interesting and challenging read. The book is small in appearance, but packs a big punch in terms of jamming the pages with historical facts and antidotes that are informative and intriguing. In his book, he examines the progress and downfall of ancient civilizations. Wright's purpose for writing the book is to warn people of the potential loom and doom facing contemporary society if no attempt is made to avoid the same disasters of civilizations past."
