Abstract
This paper explores what function women really play in the Israeli Defence Force (IDF). The paper examines how and why their limited role is slowly changing for the better. The paper explains that women fill many important positions in the IDF, such as technological, intelligence, operations and training positions. They can also be found servicing IDF computerized systems, working as computer programmers, smart weapons systems operators and electronics technicians. The paper discusses the increase in women in combat units, but contends that the IDF still needs to make cultural and gender perception advancements to eliminate discrimination.
From the Paper
"The Defense Service Law of 1959 requires all citizens and permanent residents of the State of Israel to perform military service. This includes all women between the ages of 18 and 26, who are physically fit, unmarried, have not borne children, and have not objected on religious grounds or grounds of conscience. Women currently perform compulsory military service in the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) for a period of one year and nine months. In contrast males are required to serve for three years. The disparity in service length requirements is the first clue that the Israel military views the roles of men and women in the military far differently."

"America's Army" Video Game v. Army, 2006.
This article compares the "America's Army" video game with the United States Army.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses similarities between the video game "America's Army" and the real army, such as simulation games and battle simulation episodes. The writer looks at methods of recruit and ways of advertising for the United States Army. The writer states that both the actual United States Army and "America's Army" rely on lures to gain new recruits. The writer continues that "America's Army" was designed to be both a way to lure young recruits and as a way to simulate battle experience. The writer shows that although "America's Army" and the United States Army share much in common, the video game remains a game and does not adequately capture the experience of serving in the armed forces.
From the Paper
"Both the America's Army video game and the United States Army use advertising, propaganda, and clever product placement in order to sell their ideas. In fact, America's Army is one of the propaganda and advertising tools that the United States Army uses as part of its arsenal of marketing tools. In addition to the video game, the United States army uses brochures, television ads, print ads and radio ads to sell the armed forces to young people. In the same way, America's Army is marketed through a series of advertisements in publications and on multimedia sources.
Both the America's Army video game and the United States Army use battle simulation games. In fact, the America's Army video game is almost entirely based on battle simulations. The United States Army employs more specific simulations games, such as those that are used to operate different types of mobile artillery. However, both the America's Army video and the United States Army need to hire software engineers that can craft intricate battle simulation episodes."

Public School Policy Making, 2007.
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate an understanding of the public school policy process, key policy terminology and policy concepts by examining the public school (K-12) policy for the state of New York.

Abstract
This paper explores various policy papers, which define public school policy ranging from illumination of the classroom to environmentally sensitive cleaning and maintenance to funding recommendations. The author points out that a systematic difference was found between the federal and the non-federal systems in policy performance including little indication that federal systems either equalize or redistribute the aggregate resources of society. The paper relates that the goals of the governor's 'Campaign for Fiscal Equity' are (1) a multi-year, massive infusion of school funding, (2) the creation of a clear cut system of accountability to drive funds to key educational strategies and (3) a fair and simple foundation formula to distribute school aid based on student need not politics.

Abstract
This paper examines the present restrictions that forbids gays from enlisting in the U.S. army. It compares this stance with the prohibition of women in combat units, which has subsequently been lifted. The writer shows how many now consider women to be an asset in the military. The author explains how the homosexual community hopes that this trend of acceptance will be extended to them as well.
From the Paper
"The question of whether gays should be allowed in the military involves complex arguments not just on the issue of fairness to gays and others in a democratic society but also on the role of the military and any special concerns that have to be considered when creating policy for the military. The issue has been much discussed in recent years and is similar in tone to the argument formerly raised for admitting women into the military, though there are significant differences as well. Some of the primary reasons given for keeping women out of the service have also been advanced in a modified form for keeping gays out of the military, so the experience the military has had with women is instructive."

Monetary, Fiscal and Exchange Rate Policy, 2002.
A study of the connection between monetary policy, fiscal policy, and the exchange rate policy.
1,250 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 28 sources, APA, AU$ 68.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains monetary, fiscal and exchange rate policies separately, with definitions by different economists to balance the arguments. It is then followed by a discussion of their connection to each other, involving issues such as GDP, government expenditure, and interest rates.
From the Paper
"McDonald states monetary policy is the government?s policy on setting the level of the money supply (1996: 149). It is the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA)?s attempt to change the quantity of money and interest rates so as to affect aggregate demand and, ultimately, equilibrium real GDP and the price level. Monetary policy, fiscal policy and the exchange rate policy are used by the RBA and by the Treasury to moderate fluctuations in a country?s economic growth rate and to maintain an appropriate trend growth rate. In today?s world of floating exchange rates, it can be demonstrated that monetary policy is more effective at controlling macroeconomic conditions than fiscal policy is."

Assessment of the Process Using the Thesis of Lindblom and Woodhouse
From the Paper
"Policy analysis is stated to have its limitations in the work of Lindblom and Woodhouse and the policy-makers are generally given too much advice or information which is incidentally extensive but does not offer a contrary or different point of view. Another limitation exists in the fact that while one group would hold that the correct action was taken yet another group would believe that the action was incorrect and this is based on individual reasoning. Stated is: "There runs a deep and wide river of information and opinion fed by many springs, from formal research projects to letters to the editor, some of which makes it way into the thinking of those with direct influence over policy." [p.15]"

From the Paper
"One of the main roles that the press plays in any democracy is that of a public watchdog that is vigilant over government activities on behalf of the people that government serves (Krimsky, 2000). The media is a fundamental tool in the decision-making of the democratic government in any country. A democracy requires the people of the state to make choices and decisions on a daily basis. This therefore needs to be aided by a media and media environment that allows for objectivity through its content and the journalists and staff of the forms of media themselves. The media needs to inform, without judging (Krimsky, 2000)."

This paper presents an application to the United States Army internship program with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. It describes the advantages for the writer of being admitted to the Master of Policy Management Program at Georgetown University and how this will help to further the writer's aims and ambitions. The paper also describes the writer's qualities and achievements up until this point.
From the Paper
"Lastly, and most importantly, I wish to underscore how obtaining the degree of Master of Policy Management at Georgetown University will contribute mightily to my personal and professional goals. Most obviously, as I think anyone who has attended Georgetown can attest, the program will bolster my ability to engage in economic analysis of public policy, will strengthen my decision-making abilities and will bless me with highly-developed integrative skills permitting simultaneous evaluation of the analytic, management and advocacy issues pertaining to a specific policy matter (Georgetown Public Policy Institute, "MPM Degree Requirements," general syllabus). By honing these skills to an elite level, I expect to see - from a strictly professional stand-point - my ability to move laterally as well as upwardly increased substantially; I also anticipate that the rigorous education I receive at Georgetown will give me the personal satisfaction that can only come through arduous study and constant self-reflection."

From the Paper
"In 1993 the Commission established the European Environment Agency (EEA) in Copenhagen, which succeeded the CORINE programme, an experimental data collection project, along with the European Environment Information and Observation Network. The EEA "is intended to provide the Community and the Member States with objective, reliable and comparable information at European level enabling them to take the requisite measures to protect the environment" (Dinan, 2000:171). As the EEA does not have an enforcement role of EU environmental legislation, it is hard to assess its direct impact on environmental protection."

Critical Issues in U.S. Latin American Policy, 2002.

Abstract
The author feels that major issues in U.S. Latin American policy are the economy and human rights. The paper explores these issues in detail and explains why they are critical. To protect the economic interests in this region, the author believes that policies should be created that would encourage Latin America?s financial independence.
From the Paper
"The economic conditions in Latin America are critical to U.S. interest in the region because the U.S. has provided billions of dollars, this includes military aid, to Latin America over the past ten years. Much of this has been provided because of the instability of the economies in that region. Ensuring that these economies gain some stability would benefit not only the U.S. economy but also the World economy."

Monetary Policy, 2002.
A discussion on various issues relating to monetary policy and how the United States' policy affects the rest of the world.
1,005 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 4 sources, APA, AU$ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how monetary policy is crucial to the economy and impacts all types of economic and financial decisions individuals make. It shows that since the United States is the largest economy in the world, its monetary policy also has significant economic and financial effects on foreign countries. The paper analyzes and examines various issues related to monetary policy. First, the state of the United States economy is discussed. Next, the issue of whether the Federal Reserve is more concerned about high inflation or the possibility of a recession is analyzed. Lastly, this paper outlines the direction of a recent monetary policy and examines the policy actions the Federal Reserve has taken to confirm that direction.
From the Paper
"While monetary policy cannot impact either output or employment in the long run, it may affect them in the short run. For example, when demand contracts and there is a recession, the Federal Reserve may stimulate the economy, temporarily, and help push it back toward its long-run level of output by lowering interest rates. While monetary policy cannot expand the economy beyond its potential growth path or reduce unemployment in the long run, it may stabilize prices in the long run. Price stability is basically low inflation, i.e., inflation that is so low that consumers do not worry about it when they make decisions about what to buy, whether to borrow or invest, etc."

Abstract
This paper analyses Joanne Van Selm's working paper "European Refugee Policy: is There Such a Thing?". It discusses how "illegal immigrant", "asylum seeker", "refugee", "economic refugee" are all phrases that tend to create confusion in the minds of E.U. citizens. It looks at how the 25 Member-States barely have a common immigration policy, though they do have a few guidelines for a harmonisation of asylum policy. It is in this context, that the question of the existence of a European Refugee policy is discussed.
Outline:
Introduction
What Has Been Achieved in the EU so Far (From the Schengen Agreement to Now) Does Not Always Take the Right Direction Towards A Common Refugee Policy.
Implementing Agreements on Immigration, Asylum and Refugees in the EU: A Common Approach or 25 Approaches?
The Lack of Political Will of Fortress Europe Does Not Help Shaping a Common Refugee Policy
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The very way refugee issues are dealt with within the EU is counterproductive, in terms of defence of human rights. VAN SELM explains that "there are [...] more national civil servants [than EU civil servants] dealing with asylum and refugee policy. They are all within the most sovereign control-oriented ministries too (Justice and Home Affairs) [...] Since where you stand is influenced by where you sit, it seems natural that these policy makers would be more likely to guard national interest and defend national policy than to consider the situations in countries and regions around the world, and the most appropriate policy Europe as a whole could pursue in the interest of maintaining stability by guaranteeing protection to refugees." Part of this safeguarding of the national interest would also be the lack of funds granted to refugee issues. If it is true that some EU Member States do "use part of their own overseas development aid to assist refugees in emergency and protracted situations around the world" (p.18), VAN SELM notes that "this is rarely done in a systemic way." Countries like Malta spent their ODA on detained asylum seekers, hence having anything but a refugee policy."
