Abstract
This paper evaluates both sides of the issue about the use of deadly force by law enforcement agents by using a formal logic format of two premises and a conclusion. This paper states that suing every cop who uses deadly force or disarming law enforcement altogether is not the answer to problems that attend the use of deadly force. The author concludes that there is compelling evidence that law enforcement organizations have been conscientious in recent years about developing an ethos of public protection and service and firearm safety. Annotated Bibliography.
From the Paper
"Such attitudes and trends help explain why police personnel are increasingly at risk. Police are put in the position of continually second-guessing themselves in the matter of use of deadly force. This means that law-enforcement effectiveness can suffer, which can further erode public safety and make respect for the law an irrelevant social proposition."

Literature Structure
Methodology
From the Paper
"State sponsored terrorism is two-tiered, many developed countries like the United States and United Kingdom, practice it for strategic reasons, that is, there is no religious affiliation, nor is there a general notion, that there is a need to have war in with certain states. However, there is a clear economic need, which then transfers into a need to have political allegiance with these states; hence without being physically present it is necessary to have alliances with groups that can promote the interests of the United States. Is this wrong? Should it even be called terrorism, or is it just a company take-over, where the country in question is the state? For example in the 1980's the United States was convicted of unlawful force due to their support of terrorist force in Nicaragua, this was a clear cut case of state sponsored terrorism, and highlights the dynamics of how intricate it can be."

Problems
Legal Issues
How Force Continuum Works
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Use of force continuums didn't exist prior to the 1960's. At that time law enforcement agencies across the nation used varying degrees of force in any given situation and the officers had to decide in the field what to do in an escalating situation.
While it was an accepted practice at the time it began to bring negative publicity to law enforcement agencies across the nation as problems began to crop up. Whether officers used to much force and the result was the death of someone who did not have to die, or they did not use enough force and the result was harm to the public, it seemed that they were under the gun in many debates when it came to the use of force(Petrowski, 2002).
It was a problem for all agencies but a particular problem for law enforcement agencies that had officers in the field. "

Police Use of Force, 2002.
A discussion of where the limits lie for police use of force to be considered excessive.
1,020 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 4 sources, MLA, AU$ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the use of force by police officers is a serious issue both for the police and for the community they serve and protect. It looks at how the Constitution's Fourth Amendment protects us from excessive force during an arrest, but since our police officers often have to deal with suspects willing to go to great lengths, including using deadly force, to evade arrest, it is inevitable that police will have to use force. It analyzes how it may be considered a balancing act: police are entitled to handcuff suspects to maintain control even if the person is later cleared. It looks at how the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1989 that use of force is central to law enforcement.
From the Paper
"The police have to walk a fine line, particularly in communities where excessive force or even police brutality have been an issue in the past. Particularly in sensitive communities, the perception of excessive force can be enough to trigger public outcries and demonstrations even when it is ultimately shown that the police officers acted with restraint given the circumstances they faced at the time. The Department of Justice has prepared a booklet for use by community police departments titled Police Use of Excessive Force: A conciliation Handbook for the Police and the Community. They make the point that communities must believe that justice will prevail if they are to have confidence in their police force (DOJ, 2002)."

Abstract
This paper explains that Deborah Prothrow-Stith and Michaele Weissman's in "Deadly Consequences" find that most teenage violence derives from feelings of anger and aggression, which can end in violent death. The paper emphasizes the role of guns, gangs and adolescence itself. The author underscores the books proposal that a public health model similar to the one used to stop smoking be used to better control teenage violence.
From the Paper
"Adolescence is itself a difficult period in the life of a person, and it is filled with many threats and dangers which are only exacerbated in a violent society or social setting. The authors believe that there were numerous releases operating in the past that reduced the amount of anger felt by young people, and, of course, society itself was not so stressful or violent. The authors refer to one young man who found release in sports, though the authors ignore the more general effect sports in America may have on increasing aggression and so increasing violence. The authors note that the dangers in society are even greater for young black males, who consequently are a near-endangered species. The growth in the drug trade has to be cited as a major reason for much of the violence, both because the use of drugs reduces certain inhibitions and increases the possibility of violence and because those in the drug trade are ruthless in pursuing their business."

The Three Deadly Sins, 1993.
A look at the representation of three deadly sins in the works of Christopher Marlowe and Edmund Spenser.
1,759 words (approx. 7.0 pages), 2 sources, APA, AU$ 60.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper compares and contrasts the representations of the deadly sins of pride, envy and gluttony made by Edmund Spenser in his poem "The Faerie Queene" and Christopher Marlowe in his play "Dr. Faustus". The paper examines how these sins are reflected through the actions of the protagonists in the texts.
From the Paper
"The very different portrayals of the Seven Deadly Sins in Marlowe's Dr. Faustus and Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene arises from the moral concerns of each of the two text in which they are presented. Marlowe, wishing to emphasize how people tend to view sin lightly and fail to realize its consequence, shows how Lucifer deliberately makes the Sins seem attractive and entertaining in order to mislead people. Spenser's concern lies with the way in which sin lures people by tempting them with the seeming reward of material gain. He fulfills these expectations in his personification of the Sins, showing them surrounded by ostentatious riches, but in such a way as to deride the shallowness and emptiness of ill-gotten wealth."

Deadly Cars: When Alcohol Meets Machine, 2004.
Looks at the deadly social problem of drunk driving.
1,278 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 7 sources, MLA, AU$ 46.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper begins by briefly tracing the history of alcohol and alcohol consumption and then looks at its transformation from a mildly annoying social phenomenon to a potentially hazardous and deadly phenomenon when combined with the automobile. The paper looks at the effects significant alcohol consumption can have on a driver's performance, the warning signs of drunk drivers, who is most likely to drive while drunk, and who is most likely to die as the result of a drunk driver.
From the Paper
"Alcohol is a legal drug, one of society's oldest and most popular behavioral modifiers. (NEFA) While teetotalers and social reformers of the last 200 years have done much to alienate people from alcohol and to cast it as a terrible social ill, they have often only succeeded in bastardizing its consumption without really making a dent in its wide acceptance. Alcohol and humankind have a long history together that is hardly going to be erased by a few laws, or a handful of sermons. Alcohol is found in the most primitive and the most advanced of cultures known to man. According to most ancient mythologies, it was a gift from the divine. Egyptian mythology says that Isis and Osiris taught the people how to make beer. Greek mythology speaks of the great gods of intoxication, such as Dionysus and Pan. In many cultures it has served as a way of purifying water, a natural painkiller and anesthetic, and a socially bonding experience for celebration. In our modern culture, however, it has taken on a far darker role."

Abstract
This paper examines the seven deadly sins of the Christian religion. The paper explains that they are seven "golden rules" to follow in being a decent person and a true Christian. The breakage of each of the "rules" will result in death and Hell. These seven capital sins make a definite borderline between what is good and what is bad. The Seven Deadly Sins represent the opposition to the seven major virtues, which each person should possess from the point of view of Christianity. They are Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Greed, and Sloth. They are accordingly opposed to the seven primary virtues of Humility, Love, Faith, Self-Control, Kindness, Generosity, and Zeal.
From the Paper
"Pride deals with overestimating one's value and achievements over the other people. Envy is connected with a strong drive to posses what other person has or to be like this person. Gluttony is an uncontrolled longing to food and other pleasures. Lust is a self-destructive desire fro sex, power and other bodies pleasures. Anger equals to irritation and fury, especially impatience towards the flaws of other people. Greed is a strong unwillingness to share the material good one has and Sloth is about not completing any spiritual or physical work. Each of these sins is the o being despised in the contemporary world and at the same time each of them is common and ordinary in this world. These seven sins have always caused a lot of arguments and a lot of works have been dedicated to this issue."

Deadly Sins in "The Canterbury Tales" & "Piers the Plowman", 2001.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews two medieval books " The Canterbury Tales" by Geoffrey Chaucer and "Piers the Plowman" by William Langland and examines how the "Deadly Sins" are presented in the texts. It discusses the portrayal by each author of each of the sins in turn and how both describe a pilgrimage and both try to make people better by depicting virtues and vices. Langland chose to use for this purpose abstract characters while Chaucer on the opposite side used very true to life characters with human faces.
From the Paper
"Pride is first to confess her "swaggering airs" and to admit that to take "a humble place" would be "something new" for her. Her confession is rather short, but this description of how pride is reflected in people's behavior helps to recognize those guilty of pride in General Prologue. Prioress is supposed to call herself humbly "a sister", "was cleped madame Eglentyne"(121), she sings the services "entuned in hir nose" trying to imitate French in order not to look as a nun but more as a noble lady. Friar is also proud, he prefers to socialize "with frankeleyns over-al in his contree,/ and eek with worthy wommen of the toun" and avoids poor and his fellow beggars."

The Greenhouse Effect
Global Warming and Agriculture
Global Warming and Human Health
Global Warming and Sea Level Rise
Conclusion: Zero Emissions?
From the Paper
"According to A Primer on Global Warming, life on earth is dependent on the so-called "greenhouse effect," which keeps the planet about 59 degrees F warmer than it would otherwise be. It was the French mathematician and physicist Jean Fourier who first described in 1827 how Earth's thin atmospheric blanket warms the earth. The atmosphere, Fourier suggested, possesses special greenhouse-like properties that permit solar energy to enter and strike the earth as visible light, but which then impeded the energy's return into space as infrared heat. These "properties" are in fact the so-called greenhouse gases, which permit solar energy as visible light to pass through the atmosphere, but which absorb and re-radiate a portion of the same energy as it leaves Earth's surface as infrared heat. The net effect is a warming of the atmosphere. The relative warmth of a cloudy versus a cloud-free night sky is an accentuated example of this effect, since the water vapor making up clouds is itself a greenhouse gas."

Abstract
The paper is a review of an article entitled "Cultural tourism, the State, and the Day of the Dead", which the writer find particularly relevant to him because of his plans to observe Day of the Dead celebrations during an upcoming visit to Mexico. The paper then relates the emotions of the writer prior to an intended visit to Mexico during the "Day of the Dead " celebrations, noting that there is a conflict between the authorities who welcome tourism on this holiday and the civilians who see tourism as intrusion into a sacred historical ritual and oppose it being promoted as a tourist attraction. The paper also explains that the community is divided on the subject, as many recognize the economic importance of tourism.
From the Paper
"These dynamics are evident in Mexico, particularly concerning how to mediate the conflict between the state and local residents over the tourist attraction that Day of the Dead festivities have become because of globalization. Cano and Mysyk have studied the problems which have arisen in the village of Huaquechula since 1988, when the one road leading into the village was paved for the benefit of tourists and the village became a part of the tourism circuit. In the process of studying the impact of these developments, Mysyk surveyed the villagers regarding their appreciation of the presence of tourists, their behavior, their feelings about tourists photographing or videotaping altars, and related issues."
