From the Paper
"The American Psychiatric Association see DSM IV defines anxiety disorders as a group of diagnosable disorders with certain shared features and certain clinical distinctions. The anxiety disorders are typically classified according to the severity and duration of their symptoms and specific behavioral characteristics.

Abstract
This paper begins by defining what panic attacks are and attemps to explain how and why certain people get these attacks. It provides an hypothesis that there has been a rise in panic attacks in recent decades due to the higher stress factor in our personal and professional lives. The paper examines this hypothesis, its limitations and reviews literature which relates to this theory.
From the Paper
"A panic attack is a most uncomfortable but irrational feeling of impending doom and helplessness that suddenly happens in a particular place or situation. The heart pounds, breathing becomes difficult, the person trembles, feels dizzy or nauseated and feels that he is going crazy. It has been observed to occur during tense life transitions like a change of job, marriage or the birth of the first child, most often in adolescents and young adults. Because of its unpredictable nature and the fact of more and more pressure situations in today?s living, it becomes a matter of concern to learn more about panic attacks."

To Attack or Not to Attack?, 2002.
A critical analysis of the U. S. attack against Iraq.
1,305 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 4 sources, MLA, £ 27.95

Abstract
This paper discusses and answers the question whether the US attack on Iraq is justifiable or not, and by supporting this stance with details, facts and information regarding issue. It presents arguments such as the freeing the Iraqi people of a dictator and providing them with freedom of rule. It also looks at the real threat of weapons of mass destruction and questions whether the U.S. has the right to launch such an attack.
From the Paper
"It is important that to understand the political issue of war against Iraq, a discussion of the US government?s reasons for planning the attack against Iraq is needed. In the research that the author of this paper had conducted, there are three (3) main reasons why the US is motivated to declare war against Iraq. The first aim of the US government for planning the attack on Iraq is that it wants to prevent, and eradicate the threat that Iraq poses on the safety and security of the US nation. Secondly, the threat of Iraq?s use of deadly weapons against the US (and possibly, on other nations) also poses another serious and more deadly threat, possibly threatening the security and stability of all nations in the world: the success of Iraq?s attack against US (if Iraq will be successful in destroying the freedom, stability, and security of the nation) will lead to the eventual spread of Saddam Hussein?s (leader-dictator of Iraq) power not only over Iraq, but also possibly in the whole of the Middle Eastern region. Thus, if US will not attack Iraq first, there is the possibility that Iraq will continuously terrorize US through its terrorist activities, and this is a truly dangerous possibility for people who value freedom and equality. Lastly, and perhaps the reason that most concerns the Iraqis, the US attack on Iraq will eventually result to a free Iraq, with no Saddam Hussein to dictate, abuse, and corrupt its people, ending years of helplessness and suffering of the civilians, the Iraqis, from Hussein?s ?iron fist? dictatorship, and constant abuse and violence that he subjects to all people whop fail to subordinate himself to Hussein. The following texts will discuss and support in detail the following reasons, answering the question of the necessity for the US to stage an attack against Iraq."

Abstract
The paper highlights the entwined American reactions to the September 11 attacks and the Pearl Harbor attacks. The paper illustrates the similarities in which the over-prevailing backgrounds of each event created reactions to the devastating measures that promptly gave escalation to the wars that have been fought. The paper also looks at the integration of the memory of Pearl Harbor in American reactions to September 11 attacks. Subsequently, the paper reflects on the similarities in repercussions of the attacks on the Pearl Harbor, as well as the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The attack by Japan on Pearl Harbor and the attacks by Al Qaeda on September 11 had many similarities. Some of these similarities have been presented in this paper. However, several more situations of contrasts are likely amid the attack on Pearl Harbor and the attack on September 11. In the Second World War, at Pearl Harbor, the American military under President Roosevelt had blocked approximately 8 percent of the Japanese force from either fulfilling its vicious objectives or retreating back to Japan. During the attacks on the September 11, airplane travelers prevented 25 percent of the Al Qaeda force from fulfilling its evil designs, avoiding an American icon from stern harm or complete obliteration. American intelligence agencies gave out a warning for war prior to the attack on the Pearl Harbor in the Second World War, and the American military had been able to counter the opponent. However, on September 11, intelligence agencies did report of likely terrorization attempts by Al Qaeda terrorist but these reports had not been converted into a forceful caution under President Bush, and the American military had been unsuccessful in getting in the way of the suicidal operation of Al Qaeda."

The U.S. Anthrax Mail Attacks, 2005.
An examination of the terrorist attacks involving anthrax on the U.S. Postal Service and why and how the U.S. Postal Service was not prepared to deal with such an attack.

Abstract
This dissertation provides an examination of the anthrax mailings to determine how the U.S. Postal Service responded and what organizational structures were in place to facilitate or impede that response. The role and importance of the U.S. Postal Service is discussed and its history and evolution is described. The examination is presented over the course of six chapters and concludes that there were significant failures on the part of the postal service to provide adequate protections for its workers while the investigation was being conducted, largely as a result of an organizational culture that placed productivity above safety considerations.
Introduction
The History and Development of the U.S. Postal Service
Modern Postal Bureaucracy
Anthrax in the Mail: Attack and Response
Values in Conflict
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have resulted in vastly increased scrutiny of many aspects of government functioning, as major wars and national cataclysms have done in the past. In this new environment, it is important to understand what conflicting bureaucratic values may represent the opposing perspectives of providing open access to the postal system versus protecting the system and its workers from terrorist attacks in the future? "Few aspects, perhaps," Wise says, "have received more attention than the question of whether government in general, and the federal government in particular, has the right organizational structure to meet the requirements for homeland security." Immediately following the attacks, the president made a determination that there was a glaring need for improvements in security organization; in response, he established the Office of Homeland Security by executive order on October 8, 2001, less than one month following the terrorist attacks."

The 9/11 Terrorist Attacks, 2004.

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of terrorism. Specifically, it examines the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks (9/11) that destroyed the World Trade Center and caused thousands of deaths. The paper attempts to determine what we have learned from the attacks and what has been done since 9/11 to prevent future attacks.
From the Paper
"Few Americans will dispute that the nation, and even the world, has changed since the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Two researchers into terrorism wrote, "Since September 11, America has been on a war footing, with armed soldiers standing guard at our nation's airports, enhanced security at nuclear power plants and other vulnerable locations, and military jets flying combat air patrols in order to intercept and shoot down hijacked commercial aircraft" (Klinger & Grossman, 2002). Before the terrorist attacks many Americans felt that something as devastating as the 9/11 attacks could never occur here. They were wrong, and the attacks proved the country is indeed vulnerable and open to attack from afar. The country learned the hard way that there is much more that can be done to prevent terrorist attacks, and that sometimes personal freedom has to come second to national security. As the aftermath of the attacks overtook the country, American learned that many industries, such as the airline industry, were also vulnerable to lost business because of the attacks, and thousands of people lost their jobs as industries cut back to cut costs."

Abstract
This paper covers the idea that America was not crippled by the attacks of September 11, 2001, and that such attacks will never accomplish the intended goals. It discusses America's propensity to bounce back after 9/11, from the average citizen up to presidential levels, and the response that ensued. Discredits the claim that such attacks have harmed America or the economy.
From the Paper
"Cowardly acts of terrorism will never be enough to destroy the American way of life. As President George W. Bush told the country after the September 11 attacks, "Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America." In fact, if anything, these acts and others have only served to strengthen and reinforce American ideals, thus bringing the country closer together rather than tearing us apart. Americans should not fear that terrorism will cripple the country or destroy the way of life we enjoy."

From the Paper
"Backups and CDs where the confidential files are saved have become one of the favorite attacking and breeding grounds for crackers because if these backups are updated on the deletions but include all the latest versions being used, then the hacking or access to these backups could be more fatal. A factor leading this trend is the increased security in the server database (Committee on Computing and Communications, 2005). Another important thing to note is that tangible backups kept by a company are far more easier to reach and thus at risk to being stolen by crackers in order to get hold of the sensitive data; which is why their security is as important as software and data stored on the computer. In addition, eavesdropping, i.e. interfering and interpreting encrypting data during its transfer, and its decoding, is emerging as another highly utilized hacking application. Another most common hacking application used currently is to construct a decoy website for an evidently "account information" renewal, a.k.a. as "Phishing" that can easily turn out to be a trap a hole to get into the system and acquire data (Committee on Computing and Communications, 2005).

From the Paper
"A team at Carnegie Mellon University conducted a study immediately following September 11 to assess the public reaction and to assess the role that the media played in this reaction (Thomas, 2002). The sample consisted of 1,000 American men, women, and teens aged 13-88. This was a groundbreaking study that assessed the role that the media played in influencing public opinion and support for the war. This study revealed four conclusions. They are that people who experience anger are more optimistic about the future than are those who experience fear. They are less likely to take precautionary actions and more likely to favor aggressive policy responses. Men were more likely to experience fear than women."

Abstract
This paper begins with a brief statement describing the September 11th terrorist attacks on the U.S. The paper then looks into distinct views that the media has put forth regarding the similar historic as well as tragic event. Furthermore, the paper applies the social theory of suicide by one of the most eminent social theorists, Emile Durkheim to the terrorist attacks of September 11. Hence sociological as well as theoretical analysis of the event under consideration provide a deeper insight into the much-neglected perspective on the issue.
From the Paper
"With skyscrapers falling apart, media could not help but make headlines as well as big bucks. However, it did a great job in presenting various viewpoints thereby uncovering the possible motives behind such ruthless act of violence. Many believed and shared the similar notion with the media saying that all of it happened as a result of the rat race for the ?viral power? (Arthur & Kroker). However, most of the people be it experts, scholars, social scientists as well as politicians considered these attacks a form of religious fanaticism. Some of the experts from the medical line of profession and many psychologists as well as psychiatrists thought the reason why some of the people could go to such a length to accomplish their vested interested and get motivated so much so as to take away their own precious lives can be the psychological illnesses as well as the obsessive commitment to one?s religion."

Abstract
This paper examines the issue of distributed denial of service attacks and how to use predictive analysis to detect such attacks on computer networks.
From the Paper
"Denial of service attacks receive considerable media attention because they have the ability to shut down the Net or at least portions of it. Businesses and individuals alike have come to depend on the World Wide Web for commerce, entertainment and information and the realization that the Web is vulnerable to attack causes concern. Defending against denial of service attacks is an important part of an organization's security plan but can be difficult to accomplish because of ..."

Abstract
This paper briefly looks at heart attacks, which occur when the blood supply to part of the heart muscle is severely reduced or stopped, and one or more of the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle is blocked. It examines how there are many causes of heart disease, some are controllable, and some are not, and how uncontrollable risk factors include male gender, older age, family history of heart disease, post-menopausal stages, and race. It also look at how risk factors that can be controlled include smoking and inappropriate cholesterol levels. It discusses what the symptoms of an attack are, how a diagnosis is made, and methods of treatment and prevention.
From the Paper
"A heart attack is a medical emergency that must be quickly addressed to prevent permanent heart damage or death. CPR should be administered if a person suffering a heart attack goes into cardiac arrest. If possible, it is recommended that the victim chew an aspirin because this drug is an effective inhibitor of blood clots and reduces the risk of death from a heart attack by twenty-five percent. Once at this hospital, a physician suspecting a heart attack will order a ECG or EKG to detect and locate the heart attack by measuring the electrical activity within the heart as well as blood tests to help diagnose a heart attack and to detect any ongoing heart damage. Often treatment is started at this time."

Abstract
The writer of this paper asserts that the increased demand for oil in the West escalated the mafia-like tactics from Britain, Israel, U.S. and France which resulted in reprisal from Arab nations that culminated in the 9/11 terror attacks. This paper details historic incidents over the last 100 years, from the four nation coalition, that brought about mistreatment and prejudices towards Islamic nations in the Middle East. This paper also delves into the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian crisis. This paper contains two illustrative graphs that back the writer's claims. Topics covered in this report include: Introduction The Creation of the BUFI Mafia Loan Sharking Using Violence or Threats of Violence to Bully and Steal The Ability to Murder and Get Away With it An Unwillingness to Compete Without Monopoly-like Tactics Options Terrorist Responses Sayyid Qutb Escalation of Oil Consumption/Terrorist Activities 1968-2001 War on Terror Conclusion Sources Cited
From the Paper
"Arab countries like Egypt, Iran and Iraq were on the receiving end of loans from the British Government with dire consequence for each. In the late 1800's Egypt had borrowed millions from both Britain and France, and, unable to pay it back, was transformed into a mandate of both Britain and France. Known as the Public Debt Commission, representatives from Britain and France took over Egypt's finances, and when King Isma'il tried to oust them, he himself was ousted and replaced with someone more friendly to this takeover. This helped Britain gain control of the Suez Canal, one of the most important waterways in the Middle East. Both Iran and Iraq sold Britain oil concessions in order to help stabilize their economies."
