"Licensing Standards for Television and Radio
Who has the right to be seen on television? Who determines what we listen to in the car radio today, or watch at home tonight? If we feel unrepresented by the broadcasts available on these media, is it possible to participate in the creation or standards of those broadcasts? These questions may have seemed academic or pretentious in the early days of radio and television, when newness made the media exciting.
They become significant concerns in the 1990's, not only because mainstream media seems overwhelmed with advertisements and mundane programming, but because public consciousness is increasingly enmeshed with media images, and the pursuit of more media input. Consumer trends show one-time luxuries--high resolution tv's, and one or more VCR units--becoming commonplace..."

Abstract
This paper describes the differences between the standards and requirements of professional licenses and those of certification programs. The paper points out that state-required licenses are much more stringent in terms of educational and professional standards than certifications offered by certification programs not regulated by the state and that, often, these certifications programs are offered by organizations that exist simply to collect revenue in the form of examination fees and membership dues.
From the Paper
"Under the laws of every state in the United States, certain professions require practitioners to obtain a license issued pursuant to state licensing guidelines. Accountants, attorneys, engineers and physicians, in particular, must satisfy stringent requirements and attain a satisfactory score on professional licensing exams that individual states have established to qualify professionals intending to practice, which vary widely from state to state, in addition to satisfying any necessary educational degree requirements as a prerequisite to register for any licensing exam."

"The fact is that within that new health care system we are still impacted by issues of nursing migration, nursing retirement and globalization that will not cease to affect the process of nursing or the delivery of care without policies that are intended to provide positive results. One such policy is Senate Bill 2529 that gives us the opportunity at this time to mold our nursing professionals through education and not only ensure that they have the ability of universally achieving goals in health care delivery, but that they are the most knowledgeable and skilled nurses throughout the world."

From the Paper
"Over the years, it has become a general belief that biodiversity will pave the way for a solution to almost all the diseases that exist today and continue to negatively influence our lives. This belief has led scientists to take further steps in the Research and development (R&D) of biotechnology. These steps comprise of various compounds, compounds that are biologically active, compounds that are natural resources, for example microbes, insects, fungi, marine organisms, and plants. However, laboratories are not capable of producing these complex biologically active and complex compounds. This is because the key places of genetic biodiversity are situated in the tropical and the subtropical regions of the world (Tara, 1994). Therefore, it is imperative for biotech scientists to go into the tropical forests with the purpose of locating these biologically active compounds."

Abstract
An argumentative essay that deals with the problem of child abuse and proposes a solution that involves requiring parents to obtain a license.
From the Paper
"Katherine Covell, a psychology professor, and her husband Brian Howe, a political science professor, believe that family life and parental freedoms are already regulated by the government. They maintain that the trouble is that the government only deals with the problems after they have already surfaced. They are also the directors of the Children?s Rights Center at the University College of Cape Breton(Toronto). Child protective services was enacted in order to help and protect children who are being abused. I think that CPS Is a powerful and scary organization. They can take your children from you if they suspect abuse and keep them until you prove you are innocent.(other) I do not understand how it is possible that we as a society of intelligent people can let an organization like that exist without setting up some kind of system to educate future parents. There is no law that says who can and who cannot have children, and there probably never will be. But what about a law that says that all first time parents must attend a parenting class before their due date. Did you know that more children under the age of 4 die from child abuse and neglect than from anything else?(HHS)."

Licensing and Accreditation: Adventist Care Center, 2006.
A review of the Adventist Care Center in Orange County, Florida.

Abstract
This paper examines the licensing and accreditation of a health care facility, specifically a nursing home, in the state of Florida. In particular the paper looks at Adventist Care Center in Orange County, Florida and explores which local state and federal agencies regulate it and ensure that it is upholding its solemn responsibility to provide top flight healthcare for elderly residents.
From the Paper
"The reason for the choice of Adventist Care Center is that Adventist appears to have a number of nursing homes throughout Florida and therefore it is interesting to see how the state and local counties treat a large and apparently growing nursing home franchise in a part of the country that is aging rapidly and already features a high median age. In any case, the paucity of available information is startling in some respects, but every effort will be made to track down those agencies at the local level which ultimately determine which facilities are appropriate for their vital task - and which ones are not."

"PROBABLE ECONOMIC EFFECTS ON HEALTH CARE SERVICES OF THE ELIMINATION OF CLINICAL LICENSURE
Abstract
This research examined the likely effects on health care services of the elimination of clinical licensure for health care providers. Strong arguments exist on each side of the issue of clinical licensure. Certainly, health providers are in a conflict of interest situation in an environment characterized by clinical licensure, as provider self-interests cannot help but influence the decisions of licensing authorities. Conversely, while the argument that consumers should assume greater responsibility for their own health is valid, the sad fact is that a large proportion of consumers would fall prey to quacks and other frauds in a health care services environment ..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that there are more than 2.2 undocumented illegal immigrant drivers in California. The writer points out that they rallied with law enforcers, insurance companies and the religious sector in support of Senate Bill 1160 or the Immigrant Responsibility and Security Act. The writer explains that signed into law, this bill would allow undocumented immigrants to apply for a driver's license. The bill, authored by Senator Gil Cedillo, would allow illegal immigrants to secure a license by presenting a valid passport or identification issued by the consulate of the immigrant's country of origin. The writer discusses the arguments for and against such a bill. The writer mentions the belief that the bill would increase public safety, enhance a sense of responsibility and citizenship, and intensify homeland security by requiring applicants to undergo a criminal background check by the FBI against the terrorism watch list. The writer also explains that, according to surveys, 66% of non-Hispanic whites opposed the bill. This group believed that the bill would condone and encourage the violation of federal immigration law and induce and facilitate the commission of more crimes.

From the Paper
"Cedillo claimed that he had an agreement with the Governor that the latter would help pass a new law with additional security features, but that there would be no identifying markers for illegal immigrants. The Governor denied making any agreement with Cedillo. Instead, he maintained that markers were necessary for homeland security and to prevent terrorists from using a license to open a back account or enroll in flight schools. The license bill supporters argued that banks and airlines already accept consular identification cards. Many law enforcement leaders also claimed that a driver's license would enable them to track down illegal immigrants and that this would tend to result in fewer uninsured drivers and hit-and-run accidents. Conservative Republicans, however, countered that illegal immigrants had violated the law and must, therefore, be punished for it, not rewarded. They had begun taking steps towards a constitutional amendment, which would prohibit the grant of driver's licenses to illegal residents. They also worked for support for this initiative from voters in the March 2006 elections. Likewise, they accused the Governor of double dealing by requiring a marker but trying to keep the sympathy of Latinos."

Driver?s Licenses for Immigrants, 2004.
This paper discusses the pros and cons of laws to grant driver?s licenses to all immigrants, regardless of their immigration status.

Abstract
This paper explains that the current licensing procedures are compromised by loopholes and fraud, placing the public at a security risk. The author points out that law enforcement officers express a strong need to ensure safety on public roads by licensing all drivers, regardless of the legality of their residence. The paper concludes that, given the reality that a license is now much more than a license to drive, both the Driver?s License Integrity Act and the Visa and License Integrity Act would best serve the need of lawful aliens and temporary visitors, while guarding against abuse from potential wrongdoers.

Arguments against Licensing
From the Paper
"Rep. Jeff Flake of Arizona has also sponsored the Visa and License Integrity Act. This bill will prevent federal government agencies from accepting licenses as identification documents issued by states that do not tie license expiration to the expiration of an alien's visa. Flake believes that these bills are "common sense, cost-effective ways to address this problem without placing additional burdens on U.S. citizens. Both bills are currently being debated in their appropriate committees."

Abstract
This paper describes the professional requirements for substance abuse counselors, their responsibilities and the standards they must uphold. These guidelines are based on the American Counseling Association Code of Ethics, which is presented in the paper. The writer points out that substance abuse counseling is a serious and responsible task, and that the counselor must never attempt to misuse his position and take advantage of the situation in order to seek gains for himself. He must follow the American Counseling Association Code of Ethics with the utmost sincerity and caution.
From the Paper
"Counselors must also make sure that they utilize the profession of counseling, and also practice it in such a manner that dignity and respect for the human race is kept in mind at all times, and is therefore, promoted. It must be noted that the Code of Ethics starts with a small introductory passage, in which the issue of what counselors must do in order to maintain discipline and behavior in their profession is discussed. If further goes on to state that when counselors are faced with certain ethical dilemmas that they may find difficult to resolve at that particular time, then they must perforce engage in a "carefully considered decision making process", so that they may be able to find an appropriate solution to the problem at hand. Since it is a fact that everyone has different opinions about one topic, and that there may as many different opinions as here are counselors, there is no specific decision making model that can be deemed the best or the most effective; counselors, according to the American Counselors Association are therefore expected to familiarize themselves with a credible model of decision making that would be able to stand on its own while under public scrutiny.

Abstract
According to the California American Automobile Association (2002), only 4% of the state?s licensed drivers are teens, but they are involved in 10% of accidents that cause injury. This paper investigates systems in California and New Jersey whereby teenagers are issued driving licenses in stages with certain restrictions placed on each stage, gradually decreasing in restrictions with age and proof of good driving skills. The paper looks at the advantages and disadvantages of such systems.
From the Paper
"In New Jersey, there is one set of rules for sixteen year olds getting their license for the first time, and one for seventeen year olds. New Jersey requires the teen to use a learner?s permit, which allows the teen to drive under supervision by someone 25 or older, for at least six months. This learning period is not shortened until the student driver is age twenty-one, and then the period is shortened to three months. (NJ DMV, 2002) In addition, sixteen year olds must be enrolled in an approved driver education program."

Driving Licenses: Raising the Age, 2008.
An argument against raising the legal age for obtaining a driver's license in Illinois.
722 words (approx. 2.9 pages), 3 sources, MLA, £ 17.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer argues that there are sufficient existing rules and regulations involving obtaining a driver's license in Illinois. The writer argues further, that raising the legal age would only cause more difficulty for an age group that is, everyday, being tasked with more community responsibilities in terms of work, education and extra-curricular activities.
From the Paper
"There is currently a debate occurring in Illinois and several other states regarding the legal age for obtaining a fully privileged driver's license. The targeted ages are shifting the current minimum age for obtaining a legal driver's license from 16 to 18 years of age following a series of mandated courses, tests, and experience behind the wheel. Some of the primary arguments for doing so revolve around driver and public safety while the arguments for keeping the legal age at its current 16 years of age center on drivers' rights and the increasing demands within society placed upon teenagers."

Illegal Immigrants and Driver's License, 2006.
Discusses the issue of whether illegal immigrants should be provided with driver's licenses or not.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
One of the most controversial issues surrounding illegal immigrants over the last few years has been whether or not to give them U.S. driver's licenses. This issue, which has been pushed by various immigrants' rights groups, has been sold as a way of keeping track of illegal immigrants. This paper argues, however, that it will actually accomplish the legitimization of illegal aliens living in the United States. Furthermore, it will provide a security loophole for nefarious foreigners at a time when we should be trying to close such loopholes.
From the Paper
"For example, immigrant advocates have pushed this issue by putting out stories of law abiding undocumented immigrants who are forced to spend countless hours on public transportation because they are currently not able to get a driver's license. What is forgotten in these stories is that these people have no legal right to be in this country to begin with. Stories about people having to endure hardships may be heart wrenching, but that should only enforce the notion of going through proper channels to get citizenship. By giving people a pass and allowing them to forego proper procedures, the government would remove any incentive for people who are in these situations to do the right thing."

On Shakespeare and Artistic License, 2002.
A discussion of the historical accuracy of the plays of William Shakespeare.
3,420 words (approx. 13.7 pages), 9 sources, MLA, £ 66.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how there are many points of contention between historians and artists when it comes to the subject of artistic liberties versus historical fact. Through a review of "Macbeth" and some of his other plays, it attempts to determine some of these historical inaccuracies and analyze why they occurred. It focuses on the question of whether or not Shakespeare was even concerned with being historically accurate or whether he intentionally took ?liberties? with his plays.
From the Paper
"Many of Shakespeare?s primary sources are now available in their entirety on the Internet. Facsimiles of Holinshed?s history is available, Reginald Scot?s Discoverie of Witchcraft and King James I Daemonologie are available in their entirety. Seneca?s plays are available in their original Latin, as well as some excellent translations. Many others have written on the historical inaccuracies of Shakespeare?s plays long before it was so easily to look at his primary sources and compare them to the play. These authors only focused on whether Shakespeare?s plays were historically accurate, and the consensus of the pool of authors was a unanimous consensus that Shakespeare?s did contain historical inaccuracies. This fact has been reiterated and restated many times, by many authors. There is no reason to restate what is now considered historical fact, as it is now considered common knowledge that Shakespeare?s plays are historically inaccurate when compared to modern historical sources."
