Abstract
The paper compares Yasmina Khadra's "The Swallows of Kabul" with Khaled Hosseini's "The Kite Runner." The writer explores both novels and relates that Hosseini provides more of a metaphoric picture of the situation while Khadra presents a more literal view of life under the Taliban. The paper portrays, however, how both novels paint a picture of the agony and mindset of widespread depression that the Taliban created for those who endured its rule.
From the Paper
"Throughout history, authors of literature have used their work to make a point, illuminate situations or try to get readers to understand things outside their realm of life. Some of those authors go on to become classics in history because of their ability to portray something so clearly that the reader understands it as if he or she were living it. Such is the case with two recently acclaimed novels, one by Yasmina Khadra called The Swallows of Kabul and Khaled Hossenni called The Kite Runner. The authors use their writing talent to provide a full picture for the rest of the world about what life is like for those who live under an oppressive atmosphere."

"Afghani Women Under The Taliban
Long before September 11, 2001, the world community was aware that under the rule of the Taliban government in Afghanistan, the situation of women was at best dire and at worst intolerable. Deborah Ellis (10) reported in March 2001 in a series of interviews she conducted with women living under the oppressive and brutal Taliban regime, that what was revealed was a story so horrifying and so terrible that it is difficult to understand why the civilized world allowed the Taliban to remain in power. This report will examine the conditions imposed upon women by the Taliban during their tenure - thankfully ended - and will argue that the distorted version of Islam practiced by this group was focused in many ways upon the containment and abuse of women, who were victims of what Noy Thrupkaew (18) calls "gender ..."

Abstract
Both the Rule of St. Francis and the Rule of St. Benedict pertain to how to live a life in chastity and how to live a life with God. The major rules of both focus on the foundations of a life in being a God?s servant, particularly the apostolic way of life and that of belonging in a monastery. This paper explores these two rules and compares their major points.
From the Paper
"Though both rules focuses on the same principles of putting God in everything and that everything must be subservient to God, they however generally differ in the characteristics that they were implemented. St. Francis?s rules were highly set in terms of practice. Their implementation were more of severity in character especially on matters regarding appropriating temporal things to one?s self."

?The plight of women in Afghanistan has received much media attention since the start of the United States war on terrorism. This war has focused on Afghanistan because the Taliban government allowed their country to be used as a safe haven by terrorists. While the women of Afghanistan have lived under restrictions unfamiliar to many women living in Western countries, since the Taliban took control of the majority of Afghanistan in 1996, they have been subjected to a series of rules and punishments unprecedented in any other country of the world.?

Abstract
This paper studies an article that protests the fact that Afghan women were not allowed to go to school under Taliban rule. It describes the hardships that women of all ages underwent during this time and how this has affected their education for life. It details the progress that has been made since then in Afghanistan concerning this matter. Finally, it details the present situation where girls do go to school but still study separately from boys.
From the Paper
"When the Taliban took control of most of Afghanistan five years ago, some of their most Draconian rules were about what the female half of the population could and couldn?t do. They could not go out on the streets without a male relative; they often had no access to medical care, and as this article shows, it was illegal to educate them. In the United States by comparison we have not seen such tight restrictions since slavery, when it was against the law to teach slaves to read and write.
Fortunately for the women of Afghanistan, the Taliban no longer rule, but it only took five years for them to have a devastating impact on the education of an entire generation. Schools have been rapidly formed to begin teaching female children again, but both the teachers and the students are working under very trying conditions. The students must sit on the floor, and few have pencils and papers. They cannot take notes. There are few if any textbooks. So the teacher must tell the students and hope that they will remember it. But after five years with no education, the students have a hard time remembering the information being given."

A debate on legal rules in case rulings.

Abstract
This paper argues that issues other than legal rules often determine how cases are decided. It offers advance arguments to support this thesis. Counter arguments will be considered such as the formalist point of view of Roscoe Pound. However it will be shown that in fact issues such as whether the country is at war, or what race the defendant is, or what best serves the need to protect society are very likely to be more important than the rules in determining how cases are decided.
From the Paper
"The American Legal Realism perspective stipulates that issues other than legal rules often determine how cases are decided. This paper will argue that this is true, and will advance arguments to support this thesis. Counter-arguments will be considered, such as the formalist point of view of Roscoe Pound. However, it will be shown that in fact issues such as whether the country is at war, or what race the defendant is, or what best serves the need to protect society, are very likely to be more important than the rules in determining how cases are decided.

Abstract
This paper will discuss the various movements that seek to hold control of the Afghanistan government when the Taliban are ousted from power. The many faction seek to on territories in the region after the general fighting is over, but this may seem a long shot due to the many warlords that want complete power over the other neighboring ethnic groups. The thesis will be that none of these powers will be able to hold a democratic government with a UN power (The United States) over seeing the process.

The Exclusionary Rule, 2004.
This paper examines the evolution and evaluation of the exclusionary rule from its origins in the 1789 Virginia Bill of Rights to the modern landmark case of Mapp v. Ohio.
3,760 words (approx. 15.0 pages), 13 sources, MLA, £ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the exclusionary rule falls under the province of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, which protects citizens against unreasonable searches and seizures from agents of the state; and upon which the Supreme Court ruled in 1914 that any evidence obtained in unlawfully or illegally was inadmissible as evidence during a trial. The author reviews important cases that have shaped the scope and spirit of the exclusionary rule, such as Leon v. United States and Vernonia v. Acton. The paper studies criticisms against the exclusionary rule, including arguments that by letting criminals get their cases dismissed on technicalities, the exclusionary rule subverts the justice system.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"One of Madison?s proposals was based on the Virginia law against general search warrants. Thus, the proposed Bill of Rights included a provision to guarantee citizens protection against unreasonable searchers and seizures, a provision that eventually formed the foundation for the Fourth Amendment. Furthermore, Madison also pushed for a clause protecting people from becoming witnesses against themselves. Madison and his supporters were concerned over previous practices in Church tribunals, where confessions extracted through torture were then used against a defendant in Court. This clause in turn formed the basis of the modern Constitution?s Fifth Amendment."

Abstract
This paper contends that Peter Marsden successfully brings several muddled issues into focus in his book, "The Taliban: War, Religion and the New World Order in Afghanistan". The paper claims that the author neither demonizes nor glorifies the Taliban in his constructive and scholarly overview of the movement. The paper discusses the book and considers it a useful starting point for a fruitful investigation of the Taliban, in particular, and radical Islam in general. The theme and tone of Marsden's book are diplomatic, and thus the book also allows students of international relations to grasp the objective and unbiased perspectives necessary to approach complex global issues. The Taliban, in fact, provide a prime example of the difficulties in forging dialogue between divergent cultures.
From the Paper
"One of the main strengths of Marsden's book is his dedication to framing the Taliban within a broader historical, cultural, and religious framework. In addition to offering the background historical information in the early chapters of the book, describing how the Taliban eventually were able to take power in Kabul, the author also includes an outline of early and convergent Islamic movements in Chapter Six. Marsden compares and contrasts these movements, taking care to respect the specific ethnic and cultural traditions that support them. While Marsden does not treat Islam as a homogenous religious force, he does note the inevitable similarities between Islamic movements, especially as they draw upon religious scripture as the source for political policy. Indeed, one of the main difficulties in forming dialogue with radical Islamic movements is that those movements are informed directly by religion, whereas in European and North American secular societies, religion and politics inhabit separate spheres. Great difficulties arise when the religiously-grounded politics of the Taliban conflict with the secular morals and ethics of other cultures around the world."

The Miranda Rule, 2004.
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of the Miranda Rule's effectiveness in America today.

Abstract
This paper discusses why the Miranda Rule is well-tailored to guard against constitutional violations and presents an argument for the Miranda Rule. The Miranda Rule, first adopted in 1966, is still a contentious ruling in today's criminal justice system. The paper explains that, while some critics of the rule feel it is not a deterrent to coercion of information from a suspect, most experts believe the Miranda Rule was created with a solid foundation to help ensure a suspect's rights are not violated, and the information from any suspect is admissible in court. It argues that the Miranda Rule guards the criminal justice system just as well as it guards against rights violations and, because of this, it is vital to the quick and efficient trying of cases.
From the Paper
"The Miranda Rule was created in 1966 as a result of the Supreme Court case "Miranda vs. Arizona." The court required law enforcement officers and agencies making an arrest to inform a victim of his rights, in accord with the Fifth Amendment, which guarantees freedom from self-incrimination. The Miranda statement (often simply referred to as "Miranda") is usually a version something like this, read to detainees before they are questioned: "You have the right to remain silent. If you give up the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you desire an attorney and cannot afford one, an attorney will be obtained for you before police questioning" (FindLaw). Miranda has become common knowledge to most Americans because of its' constant use on most police and detective television shows. Just about everyone knows about Miranda, but not everyone knows why it is such and effective tool for law enforcement agencies and the criminal justice system."

From the Paper
"Starting with the First Peace Conference at Hague, signed July 29, 1899, a maritime agreement was entered into force on September 4, 1900. This treaty provides for general rules of conduct for carrying Merchant Shipping throughout the world. However, the convention realized at the outset it was an incomplete and unrefined document with flaws that could be worked out through negotiations at later conferences to be held in the future.
Thus the Second Peace Conference at Hague, signed October 18, 1907 and entered into force January 26, 1910 further refined the Merchant Shipping Provisions."
