From the Paper
"The Mongol Invasion and Popular Memory in Ukraine. Introduction For four centuries, Ukraine suffered under Mongol rule. In the first half of the 13th century, Kievan Rus succumbed to an oppressive invader that was culturally dissimilar in an occupation that could never be fully assimilated. In the mid-17th century, the Ukrainian Cossack leader, Hetman Bohdan Khmelnitsky, threw off Mongol rule, towards a different Ukrainian future. Indeed, a substantial portion of this paper refers to the Cossacks' role in the entire region affected by Tatar influence, and their central role in the production of a distinct Ukrainian identity. "

Abstract
To understand a present-day culture one must look to its past, its formation and foundation. In the case of modern day Russia, the author contends that the domination and repression imposed by the Mongol Horde forever changed the course of the Slavic people. Specifically, he believes that there was a great impact upon the cultural makeup, the arts and architecture, and the development of science and technology. An examination of Proto-Rus and its evolution is essential in understanding the formation of modern Russia.
From the Paper
"From 862 -1237 AD, the first proto-Russian political entity was founded by Rurik in the vicinity of Novgorod in 862 AD, when the Varangians had controlled many of the trade routes leading from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea by way of lakes and river. All Russian leaders for the next 700 years would descend from Rurik. In 880-882 AD, another Varangian named Oleg assumed rule of Kiev, which quickly became the political center of the territory known as Kievan Rus (Lawrence 1993). The city of Kiev rose in importance in an era known as "the Golden Age of Kiev" until the 13th century, when Kiev's stature as the political center of the Russian Empire declined rapidly owing to variety of factors, such as familial infighting and the Mongol invasion. The lasting achievements of the Kievan Rus era were the Christianization of Russia following the Eastern Orthodox faith and the formulation and acceptance of the Cyrillic alphabet (Ragsdale 1996)."

Abstract
This paper analyzes and discusses the Bay of Pigs invasion, implemented and designed by President John F. Kennedy, and the impact this failed maneuver had on American foreign policy and on American-Soviet, as well as American-Cuban relations. The paper describes the attempted invasion, the Cuban response to the invasion, the events leading up to the invasion and why it represents one of the worst political disasters in recent U.S. history. The paper further discusses the political repercussions that followed the attempted invasion and its long-lasting impact on American-Cuban relations.
From the Paper
"On the morning of the invasion, it was reported that the exile forces, together with the CIA, had literally destroyed numerous locations, had landed in several provinces within Cuba, had freed thousands of political prisoners and had driven inland, practically dividing the whole country into two separate parts, not to mention placing the Cuban Navy in revolt. In reality, however, none of these claims were true, for the exile forces in the Bay of Pigs encountered immediate difficulties. For example, the location for the first assault was suppose to have been an isolated area, a good place for a surprise attack, yet the forces discovered a militia patrol which destroyed the element of surprise; the beachhead was suppose to be sandy and free of obstacles, yet many reefs were encountered which sank some of the boats. Worst of all, Castro's men were lying in wait just north of the original landing point. Much gunfire then erupted and the exile forces found themselves pinned down; to make matters worse, reports soon came in the Russian tanks were moving closer with every passing minute."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the U.S. led invasion of Iraq has invited a lot of controversy about the justification, legality and ethics of a ?pre-emptive? strike against a foreign government. It examines how although the U.S. government has justified it on several grounds, most countries in the rest of the world, notably France remain unconvinced. It looks at how the U.S. (and its coalition partners) justify the invasion of Iraq and compare it to the French position. It also analyzes the impact of the invasion on future international affairs.
Outline
U.S. Justification for the Invasion of Iraq
The Opposing (French) View Point
Analysis of the Two Positions
Tactless Diplomacy and Fear of American Power
The Real Agendas?
Impact of the Invasion on Future International Affairs
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Even after the end of the War in Iraq, the controversy about whether the invasion was justified continues unabated both inside and outside the United States. The reasons for the continuing debate are not hard to find. In the days before the war there had been unprecedented demonstrations all over the world by peace activists against the war. During debate at the United Nations, the French government had threatened to use its veto to defeat a resolution that sanctioned an invasion of Iraq. Most other European countries, except the UK, and including Russia had supported the French position. Gerhard Schroder even won the recent German elections on the basis of his opposition to the Iraq war. Perhaps the only countries of significance that supported the war were Britain and Israel, and even in Britain there was significant opposition to the war among the public."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931 in order to defend its national and economic interests in the area. The paper examines the events that led up to the invasion and then explores the incident itself in detail. America's reaction to the invasion is analyzed.
From the Paper
"According to Ronald E. Dolan, when Japan joined fourteen other nations in 1928 in signing the Kellogg-Briand Act which "denounced recourse to war for the solution of international controversies," it was a foregone conclusion that Japan would inevitably invade Manchuria in order to "defend its national and economic interests" in the area. 1 In response to this invasion in 1931, the League of Nations, set up after World War I through President Woodrow Wilson and the Treaty of Versailles, "issued a report condemning Japanese aggression" which prompted Japan to withdraw "from the League, thereby further heightening world tensions." 2 Not surprisingly, America's response to the invasion of Manchuria was typical of the time, for many American citizens and government officials were highly concerned that American interests in the area would lead to all-out war between Japan and the Western powers, not to mention the prevailing attitude among some Americans for an isolationist policy, i.e. complete separation from other nations in the context of disputes and military actions."

Abstract
This paper discusses an individual's right to privacy and the results of an invasion of that right. It specifically discusses a tort with regards to invasion of privacy. The paper analyzes the two basic elements that occur with invasion of privacy - the fact that the individual's right to privacy is invaded and the resulting damage that occurs as a result.
From the Paper
"The right of privacy in the private sector has taken on a whole new dimension since the times of Justice Brandies with the advent of the internet, email, YouTube and the myriad of personal blogs raise the specter of anyone becoming a world-wide celebrity. If you doubt the power of the internet to create celebrities out of the ordinary person, recall the "numa numa" phenomenon, the portly college lip syncing into his computer became an overnight celebrity via viral video. This was voluntarily placed on the internet, the repercussions of instant involuntary notoriety where unimagined in the late 19th century when the right of privacy was first put forward by Justice Brandies. There are many personal issues that individuals wish to keep private, and the vast amount of case law regarding all four aspects of invasion of privacy needs to be kept in context of the modern era of the internet, AIDS and the 24 hour cable news station."

Abstract
The U.S.-led invasion of Iraq has invited a lot of controversy about the justification, legality, and ethics of a ?preemptive? strike against a foreign government. Although the U.S. government has justified it on several grounds, most countries in the rest of the world remain unconvinced. In this paper, the writer examines how the U.S. and its coalition partners justify the invasion of Iraq and compares it to the French position. It also discusses the impact of this invasion on future international affairs.
From the Paper
"The main reasons given by the US government (and its main ally, Britain) are that Iraq and its regime under Saddam Hussain possessed weapons of mass destruction; that it has failed to co-operate fully with UN inspectors as called for by UN Security Council resolutions; that the regime has links to terrorist groups including Al-Qaeda, and that Saddam Hussain?s regime posed ?a clear and present danger? to the United States and the rest of the world if left unchallenged. It was implied that the regime was likely to provide weapons of mass destruction (including biological weapons) to terrorist organizations with devastating effect. The US government, therefore, felt justified in leading a ?pre-emptive? strike on Iraq to find and destroy the weapons of mass destruction and to effect ?a regime change.? "

Invasion and Colonialism in Science Fiction, 2008.
A discussion of invasion and colonialism themes in science fiction.
1,565 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 10 sources, MLA, £ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the theme of invasion in science fiction and how it is, in fact, a colonial topic. The paper also takes a look at related themes such as infestation and infection. It draws upon famous film examples such as "Robocop", "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", and "Alien" to illustrate the symbolic significance of the invader's appearance and what it represents. To conclude, the paper asserts that battles against slick and slimy science-fiction monsters and bad guys reflect the West's battle against outside religious extremists.
From the Paper
"Invasions taking over the mind or body, in an offensively intimate way, are all part of the colonial horror. We are beguiled by a slick oppressor. Memorable science fiction films hone in on this theme of the intruder's allure. A storm trooper is as glossy as a Nazi soldier's boots. There is a brutal anonymity to their sheen, which makes viewers feel dishevelled yet intrigued with what lies beneath. On the other hand, the monster in Alien is covered in slick ooze (Pickover 99). The monster resembles a malignant organ. Ridley Scott's monster is like the lost part of our civilized psyche's missing mojo, and we almost want to stuff it back in, though the monster's only goal is to destroy (Mulhall 47). It is like an AIDS virus: death within temptation. In my opinion, this connection between bodily fascination and death has helped keep the Alien franchise lucrative."

Invasion of Privacy, 2002.
Based on a survey, this paper shows that governmental invasion of privacy is a major concern among Americans.

Abstract
This paper seeks to determine how Americans (as opposed to popular culture and the media) feel about governmental invasion of privacy, and to sort responses in terms of gender, political affiliation and age. Done through a survey of 1800 respondents in three age groups (18-34, 35-64, 65+), the answers are tabulated and compared. The results show that younger people are more concerned than older people, women more concerned than men, and Democrats more concerned than Republicans. In all, 75% of Americans are very concerned with the invasion of their privacy. This indicates a serious lack of communication and responsiveness between the government?s behavior and the people?s concerns.
From the Paper
"Before the September 11th terrorist attacks, those among the American people who were concerned about governmental invasion of privacy were relatively soft spoken, and tended towards extremist edges. Certainly, no one was fond of the degree to which the IRS kept an eye on their business, and especially among lower-class and minority factions, there was a deal of foment concerning unwarranted search-and-seizure on suspicion of drug charges and various other matters. However, in general, most Americans didn?t notice the degree to which their lives were supervised. After September 11th, the supervision took a much harder edge. The Patriot Act was passed allowing the government supposedly unprecedented powers to conduct searches, wiretaps, random background checks, and other security procedures against common civilians. (As a matter of historical accuracy, similar wartime measures have been undertaken on occasion in American history, though not within the memory of the current generation) Concern for the privacy of individuals became of much greater concern in the publications of fringe groups, such as ultra-liberal ?Mother Jones? and ultra-conservative ?The World.? However, the concern over individual privacy appears very seldom in mainstream non-fictional media (no one can seriously consider such shows as X-files to represent the general media consensus on government activity)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how tumor invasion and metastasis of cancer is one of the most deadly processes in the world today. Once the cancer has metastasized to other organs, the chances of successful recovery are greatly reduced. It looks at the importance for a patient with a prior history of cancer to have regular checkups and to understand which cancers commonly metastasize to certain organs, thus increasing the chances of survival of this dangerous killer.
Outline
Introduction
Tumor Invasion
Metastasis
ATX
Metastasis Messages
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Metastasis is controlled in part ?by messages embedded in the organs to which cancer spreads. Elements of the signals stimulating metastasis may come ?not from the tumor cells themselves but from the microenvironment (Couzin, 2003).? Cancer cells are able to identify the location of the new tumor and thrive. Specific cancers have been found to favor specific site, as seen in ?breast cancer which prefers the lungs and bone, and colon cancer which favors the liver (Couzin, 2003).? Stephen Paget, a British surgeon in 1889 developed the ?seed and soil? theory, which ?argues that metastasis depends on matching certain types of ?seeds,? or cancer cells, with ?soils? in which they are likely to grow (Couzin, 2003).?
