From the Paper
"Motor safety is an essential component in securing transportation systems in countries throughout the world. Over the past 40 years, motor safety has become a chief concern for transportation departments around the globe. These transportation departments have instituted regulations that place safety at the forefront. These regulations include the installation of and mandatory wearing of seatbelts and certain restrictions on gas emissions. In recent years, transportation departments have began to focus on distractions that may hinder driver concentration. Such distractions such as Cell Phone Usage while driving a motor vehicle have been banned in some areas."

Abstract
This paper examines how, in May 1961, an interracial group called the Freedom Riders decided that it was time to test President Kennedy's promise to go through with his allegation to enforce the Supreme Court's decision. It looks at how the Freedom Riders were very influential in their fight for the civil rights of black citizens and how their journey by bus helps explain how the blacks were still being treated, their determination to gain equality, and how they finally achieved their purpose.

The Contributions of the Freedom Riders
From the Paper
"The cruelty that the Freedom Riders were subjected to that day is only the tip of the iceberg of how the blacks were treated. The Riders were only trying to exercise the rights to be able to travel without discrimination that was granted to them, and they were insulted beyond decency and hit with fists and pipes by men, women, and children. The blacks were supposed to be protected and have some equality, yet they were not treated anywhere close to how they should have been. After what happened in Birmingham, all bus drivers refused to drive them any further, and without any other choice, the Freedom Riders decided to fly to New Orleans and to safety."

Abstract
It appears to be quite certain that the concentration of financial wealth in Canada is leading to a concentration of political influence. One disturbing development in our democracy is that the political state is starting to be governed more by the market than by the sentiments of the voters - even though the market is supposed to be a representation of the peoples' preferences. But in the end, the state has become a symbolic representation of the vested economic interests of one small, but powerful constituency of society.

From the Paper
" Many prisoners eventually became what were known as Muselmanner. The Muselmanner are persons destroyed, devastated, shattered wrecks strung between life and death. They are the victims of a stepwise annihilation of human beings. The mere external appearance of the Muselmanner bespoke profound dehumanization. In a final stage of emaciation, their skeletons were enveloped by flaccid, parchmentlike sheaths of skin, edema had formed on their feet and thighs, their posterior muscles had collapsed. Their skulls seemed elongated; their noses dripped constantly, mucus running down their chins. Their eyeballs had sunk deep into their sockets; their gaze was glazed. Their limbs moved slowly, hesitantly, almost mechanically. They exuded a penetrating, acrid odor; sweat, urine, liquid feces trickled down their legs. The rags that covered their freezing frames were full of lice; their skin was covered with scabies. Most suffered from diarrhea. They ate anything they could lay their hands on--moldy bread, cheese wriggling with worms, raw bits of turnip, garbage fished from the bins. "

The Concentration Ratio, 2005.
This paper evaluates issues relating to concentration ratios in business practice.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 3 sources, £ 18.95
»

Abstract
This paper defines the concentration ratio as the "percentage of market share owned by the largest firms in an industry". The author points out that concentration ratios in business practice emphasize the importance of market competitiveness and the number of firms within a given industry. The paper relates that it is expected that firms will be affected by variables such as prices, brand recognition and product quality in their efforts to promote competition and market effectiveness.
From the Paper
"In a business environment that incorporates the use of concentration ratios, it is necessary to understand the meaning of this term and its application to modern business principles. The concentration ratio is defined as the "percentage of market share owned by the largest firms in an industry" (QuickMBA, 2004). In the example given, it is necessary to consider that a given industry segment with a particular number of firms is typically very competitive, or it is not as relevant in the overall marketing mix (QuickMBA, 2004). Therefore, the example provides a concentration ratio of 30% for the top 20 firms, or CR20. This type of ratio demonstrates that these firms own 30% of the total market share within this industry, and in an analytical sense, this is a relatively low level of competition amongst these firms."

Abstract
The paper discusses concentration camps built by Hitler's Germany in WWII for Jews as well as other prisoners. It provides a brief overview of the history of anti-semitism in Germany of the time, including Kristallnacht, and describes life as it was for prisoners in the camps.
From the Paper
"The living conditions in both camps could be classified as dismal at best. The poor living conditions caused contagious diseases to spread like wild fire throughout the camps. In Auschwitz I, the prisoners lived in brick barracks with hundreds of three leveled bunk beds. The barracks did not have heating or any sanitary components to them. The barracks were extremely overcrowded, had leaking roofs, and there were rats running all over the place.
"While in the camps, prisoners received three meager meals a day. If they were performing "light" labor they would be given 1,300 calories of food a day. If they were doing more demanding work they would be fed 1,700 calories a day. As a result of being fed a very small amount of food in relation to the amount of work they were doing, many prisoners suffered from malnutrition and a form of physical deterioration they referred to as the "Muzulman state"."

From the Paper
"Barriers to exit refer to the costs that would be incurred by a firm should that firm decide to stop participating in a given market. Thus, a market in which participating firms (1) are required to make a high cost investment in equipment and/or facilities, and (2) where such equipment and/or facilities may not (a) be easily transferable by a firm to use for other purposes, or (b) quickly sold without significant loss may be said to be characterized by barriers to exit. Market contestability is defined primarily in the context of ease of exit, and ease of exit is directly related to the barriers to exit character of a market. When a firm can leave an industry or market at little or no cost to the firm, the market is said to be contestable."

"Riders of the Purple Sage", 2008.
An analysis of Zane Gray's novel "Riders of the Purple Sage".
1,000 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 1 source, MLA, £ 24.95
»

Abstract
The paper analyzes how Zane Gray, in his novel "Riders of the Purple Sage", uses the conventions of the Wild West and the wide-open, lawless landscape of the Western territories, to tell a tale of how the religious conventions of the Church of Latter-Day Saints, the Mormons, clash with the desires of the central protagonists Bern Venters and Jane Withersteen.
From the Paper
"The beginning of the story shows an individual in conflict with society, and upholds individual rights above the rights of the community. What is so immediately striking about the novel is that a woman, Jane Withersteen, rather than a man, is at the center of the drama about land control and land ownership, and while the Mormons themselves were considered to be outsiders, even outlaws, by the federal government, because of the practice of polygamy, Withersteen's rejection of this practice, which she sees as an enslavement of a woman to male desires, makes her a pariah in the community. For Jane to tend her ranch, and to be able to care for her land only an outsider, Bern Venters will support her in her struggle."

Plasma Concentration of Calcium, 2003.
A discussion on how the plasma concentration of calcium in the body is controlled.
1,498 words (approx. 6.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, £ 34.95
»

Abstract
This paper examines how calcium is a crucial component of the function of the nervous, cardiac and musculoskeletal system and how there are often stresses on the calcium levels in the plasma as various systems require more calcium than normal. It focuses on the regulation of the total body calcium levels, the mechanisms and levels of complexity involved as well as touching on some of the clinical conditions that arise when this system does not function effectively.
From the Paper
"The importance of the PTH secretion is evident in deficient systems. In hypoparathyroidism, not enough PTH is present to respond adequately to the fall in Ca. This tends to cause hypocalcaemic problems, including tetany. This is also true for pseudohypoparathyroidism, where there is a defect bin the PTH receptors, preventing the PTH from having an effect. There are also problems associated with excess PTH causing hypercalcaemia. These conditions include hyperparathyroidism arising from tumours that secrete excess PTH. These patients not only have hypercalcaemia, but often have osteoporosis, urinary stones and sluggish CNS."

Geographic Concentration and Political Expression in Canada, 2002.
Discusses the conflicts between Canada's local governments due to the disagreement over the land-rights of the Anglophones, Francophones and Natives.

Abstract
Michael Ignatieff's 2000 Massey lecture highlighted Canada as a rights society. This is a consequence of the geographic concentration of the three founding peoples. The result has been conflicts between the federal and provincial governments and between natives and provincial governments. This discussion focuses on the assertion that 'land claims' are an avenue to settlement of these issues. It links establishment of a territorial base to political autonomy.

Abstract
This paper discusses Birmingham, AL Public Safety Commissioner Eugene "Bull" Connor in 1961 Birmingham, AL. It gives the report on his connections to the KKK and involvement in attacks on the Freedom Riders of 1961 in Birmingham. This paper also tells of segregation in Birmingham and has direct quotes from Connor as well as other authoritative figures in Birmingham during the Civil Rights Movement.
From the Paper
"During the year of 1961 one man managed to turn the universal police motto of ?To Protect and Serve? into a mockery. That is, a mockery for a group of African-American students and Civil Rights leaders who were part of an organization called CORE (Congress of Racial Equality) as well as an entire community. This paper will take a look at the CORE sponsored ?Freedom Rides? that challenged segregation in interstate travel facilities in Birmingham, Alabama and how then Commissioner of Public Safety Eugene ?Bull? Connor was running the police force to the advantage of his personal racial beliefs. That is, to his advantage in opposition to such challenges as those that the Freedom Riders made on segregation. This analysis will expose Connor?s ties to the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama when the Rides took place and will serve as an illustration of the kind of leadership that encouraged bigotry among the white citizens of Birmingham. It will also illustrate the kind of leadership that promoted love and harmony among the races through peaceful and non-violent protest of Connor?s policies. Through the following summation of historical facts gathered through evidence one can easily see what the harsh reality of segregation was like in Birmingham during 1961 and how it relates to the Civil Rights Movement as a whole as well as Birmingham?s history."

From the Paper
"This research paper recounts the role of the Freedom Riders in the civil rights movement in the 1960s and assesses its significance. The Freedom Riders were relatively small groups of young black and white activists, mostly college students, who took to the nation's highways in the early 1960's to storm the ramparts of white segregationist practices in the Deep South.
The initial Freedom Rides of 1961 were hastily improvised affairs which triggered violent reactions by white extremists. The Freedom Riders bore the brunt of this reaction with considerable dignity in part due to their training in the tactics of non-violent resistance. The Freedom Riders, together with other confrontations spearheaded by young activists, helped reinvigorate the civil rights movement and transform it into a..."

From the Paper
"The Nazi concentration camps of World War II were, intentionally or not, a social experiment in which human beings were subjected to extraordinary circumstances. The behavior of camp inmates may reveal something about human nature, or what happens when a conventional way of life, with its attendant social institutions and habits, is impossible. To determine whether the camps do in fact provide insight into human nature, three books will be discussed and compared: ?Survival in Auschwitz? by Primo Levi, ?This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen? by Tadeusz Borowski, and ?Facing the Extreme? by Tzvetan Todorov.
Primo Levi lived in Auschwitz for ten months during his youth; he recounts his personal experiences in the book ?Survival in Auschwitz.? Beyond the motivation of describing the atrocities he will"

Abstract
This paper explains that the basis for micro-marketing through website interaction and blogging help bring about a greater diversity in how advertising can be accomplished with media markets. The basis for a post-modern global community has been the driving force allowing for more community interaction and diversity. This form of advertising works within new modes of information that depend more on people and multi-cultural ways of communication, rather than the automaton of TV commercials and newspaper ads.
From the Paper
"By realizing the depth and scope of the American military industrial complex, links can be made to the news agencies that support this agenda in journalistic reporting. In many ways, the use of pro-war propaganda is used to help news agencies to work adjacently within the government in supporting a biased form norm in news reporting."
