Abstract
The paper analyzes the documents "The First Day at the Battle of Gettysburg" and "The Third Day". These sources chronicle the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1-4, 1863, from the first-person experience of the two writers. The paper relates that the document "The First Day" covers the battle from the Union point of view and experience, and as a source for information on the battle, is a credible and genuine source. The paper shows how the second source that discusses the third day of battle at Gettysburg is also a genuine article created by an actual participant. The paper concludes that both articles are interesting to read and would contribute towards a better understanding of both sides during this pivotal battle.
From the Paper
"This document is significant for any number of reasons. First, it is a first person account of the actual first day of battle at Gettysburg, which proved to be a pivotal point in the Civil War. It is also significant for the amount of detail it contains, which can aid the historical researcher in any number of ways - from understanding the configuration of the battle and the participants, to giving a deeper comprehension of the significance of the battle to both North and South."
"The originality of the document is certainly without question. It is a first hand account of the battle, and while there are indeed similar documents, it stands on its own in its detail, complexity, and importance to historical research."

The Founding Documents, 2006.

Abstract
This paper explains that each founding document critical to the U.S. Constitution makes reference to the importance of man's free right to exercise his political will under a tolerant and open form of government. Furthermore, key concepts like the right to a fair trial and land and property ownership rights were underscored in these earlier founding documents. The author defines the founding documents as the "Magna Carta", the "Mayflower Compact", the "Virginia Declaration of Rights", the "Declaration of Independence", the "Articles of Confederation" and the "Federalist Papers". The paper relates that the concepts of "all men being created equal" and having the unalienable rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" as presented in the preamble of the U.S. Declaration of Independence are the fundamental concepts of freedom incorporated into the present-day constitution and powerful core principles upon which future democratic documents will be written.
From the Paper
"The Magna Carta of 1215 A.D. was the first of these documents, as an English liberty charter decreed by King John. This early document covered broad areas from property rights to rights of heirs, marriage laws, and criminal prosecution. Article 52 states "To any man whom we have deprived or dispossessed of lands, castles, liberties, or rights, without the lawful judgment of his equals, we will at once restore these," making note of civil liberties of men, although based on the notions of an English royal class system."

Abstract
The Biblical scholar and theologian Walter Kaiser offers an alternative thesis to the 'documentary hypothesis' commonly held amongst secular Biblical scholars in his book, "The Old Testament Documents: Are they Reliable and Relevant?" The paper shows how Kaiser suggests not only that the Old Testament documents are relevant, but also the Old Testament stories are actual historical accounts of real events that occurred in Israel's past.
From the Paper
"The Old Testament books may be relevant spiritually for the moral truths that they suggest in a metaphorical way. But that does not mean they are reliable as historical, eyewitness testimony and relevance in modern terms of historical data. Kaiser does include some supporting archeological evidence for his anti-documentary thesis, such as the possibility that Sodom and Gomorrah were actual, leveled cities - but this does not mean that the ancient Hebrews did not engage in mythmaking and putting a particular spin upon these enemy cities destruction from their own historical and religious perspective."

Abstract
Countries have become unsure of their security and about their relationships with the countries that surround them. Since September 11th, a large number of scholars, scientists and political thinkers have started to analyze and provide their own theories on the U.S. and Iraqi war and state relations. One of these groups of political thinkers is the U.S. Commission on National Security of the 21st Century. This Commission discusses and analyzes the problems in the world, specifically concerning the United States and the concerns of the changing world. The Commission has strove to provide critical theories and interpretations of what the United States should do in response to the changing world security environment. This essay addresses the Commission's response, as well as the response provided by President George W. Bush's administration of national security strategy by comparing both documents and noting the merits and criticisms of them. A final wrap-up summary is also provided.
From the Paper
"The three primary concerns of the introduction are: defence against enemies, cooperation with other nations in curtailing others from gaining dangerous technologies, and lastly, the encouragement of democracy and economic openness in all nations. It concludes by insisting that other nations should respond to terrorism and threats in the same offensive manner as the United States, calling for collective responsibility and "accountability." On the other hand, the CNS's introduction for Phase I suggests the same problems are facing the United States and the world, and calls for a similar approach as the NSS, emphasising "economic growth, regional integration, and global political cooperation." A key line for distinguishing the languages in each document is the CNS's suggestion that "active American engagement cannot prevent all problems," while the NSS is much more optimistic with regard to that idea."

Abstract
The writer looks at works considered to be very important in world civilization.They tell a reader a lot about the leadership style of a ruler. The official court historian was the one to leave his legacy for generations to come. Nowhere does attittude reflect leadership as much as it does in historical documents. In this paper three key documents are examined.
From the Paper
"A wise man once said that attitude reflects leadership. When examining the leaders that have helped to shape history, it is fundamental to examine the way in which their official reporters represented them to develop a deeper understanding of the type of rule carried out. The leadership of each ruler helped to shape the attitudes of the historians. Ssu-Ma Ch?ien of the Han Dynasty was very flattering of the public works carried out by the emperor. Suetonius developed a more critical approach to history but was still quite subtle in his critique. Procopius broke all barriers though when he released his derisive attack on Justinian?s rule. Each historian had some opinion on the ruler and it becomes apparent through their writings. Attitude may reflect leadership in many aspects of life, nowhere though is it so apparent than in the historical documents written during their lives or the lives of supportive predecessors."

From the Paper
" CONTEXT
The concept of natural rights and the idea of the social contract were paramount in the thinking of the colonists when they challenged the right of Europe to control their economic and political lives. The Declaration of Independence is a restatement of Locke and Rousseau, and the same concepts would be embodied in the Constitution. The French Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen would be influenced by the same sources and by the Declaration of Independence as well. The idea of the social contract infuses all of these documents, an idea honed by Locke and Rousseau, though the Declaration of Independence and the Declaration of the Rights of Man have somewhat different visions of individual rights and responsibilities as a comparison will show."

Abstract
Examines components of effective business writing, assessment criteria and the need for and techniques of teaching college students to write intelligently and effectively
From the Paper
"Introduction
In his discussion of written communication as it relates to business, Egan (1995) states:
Writing is the single most widespread activity in business today. The advent of computers, fax machines, e-mail, and all the other paraphernalia of the so-called paperless office has not reduced the need for effective business writing whatsoever. Modern professionals now spend more time than ever wordsmithing on their Powerbooks, PC laptops, and Pentium PCs - up to 70% of their day according to Fortune magazine. Writing is also one of the most expensive business activities. (p. 34)
The consequences of poorly written communications are ..."

Abstract
The following paper examines the way in which the Universal Decimal Classification introduces the idea of auxiliary connections and discusses the way in which this system works by dividing the whole field of knowledge into 10 main classes. The writer discusses the success of the Universal Decimal Classification which is based on it's use of decimal notation.
From the Paper
"The Universal Decimal Classification has a feature called the synthetic principle. This works by allocating a consistent notation to recurrent series of concepts that are arranged in consistent orders. For example in class 4 which is to do with philology the order of sub-classes and the notation representing them is the same for each language. For example 425 for English grammar, 435 for German grammar, etc.). The geographical location of countries is also consistent. For example British history could be 942, so German history would be 943; and 328.42 is British legislation, with German legislation being 328.43.
The synthetic principle allows for over 200 different languages to share the same in depth coverage that English usually exclusively enjoys. This principle also allows for great increases in the range of subdivision with no printing costs."

Documentation in Medical Practices, 2006.
This paper discusses the importance of documentation in emergency medical services.
2,248 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 7 sources, MLA, AU$ 112.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains how documentation is important when an emergency medical technician renders aid to a patient when he/she is ill, critically injured or hurt. Documentation would enable the hospital to keep a track of what type of treatment has been given to the patient, and how he/she responded to the treatment given. The paper illustrates how organizations have made lists of rules and regulations to help those people responsible for documentation while taking care of their patient. This ensures that they would be able to perform their duty efficiently, as well as provide the important documentation needed for the administration of the hospital.

Introduction
Conclusion
From the Paper
"An Emergency Medical Technician, who has been able to successfully establish an EMT-patient relationship by the mere fact that he was the individual who had begun emergency care for the patient that he is taking care of at the present time, has a responsibility and a duty to make sure that he take care of that patient until such time that help arrives in the form of a specialist or some other person who can relieve the emergency medical technician. It must be noted that this relief generally comes when the patient reaches the hospital, and the report made by the EMT is submitted to the attending staff. At times, when it so happens that the patient is not actually transported by the first arriving EMT but by another provider, then it is the duty of the first EMT to give a full report on the patient to the second arriving EMT, who would be taking over the care of the patient from that point of time onwards."

Abstract
In this article the writer aims to sort out the rhetoric from the fact regarding the Battle of Gettysburg. The writer notes that given its importance, it is not surprising that Gettysburg is the most studied battle in the history of America. The paper first provides an overview of the Battle of Gettysburg in general. This is then followed by an assessment of the role played by the 21st North Carolina and the Iron Brigade. A summary of the research and salient findings are provided in the conclusion. The writer concludes that perhaps it is difficult for people in the 21st century to fully understand what these events meant to the soldiers who were actually fighting the frequently hand-to-hand and always bloody battles of McPherson Woods, Cemetery and Culp's Hill, but it is clear from the research that the men of the 21st North Carolina and the Iron Brigade ardently believed in what they were fighting for, and were willing to die for their causes.

From the Paper
"Following the defeat of the Union forces of General Joseph Hooker at Chancellorsville, Virginia, in May, Confederate General Robert E. Lee made the decision to invade the North in an attempt to dissuade them from further incursions and with an eye to compelling European countries into recognizing the Confederacy, and Lee's invasion army totaled approximately 75,000 troops. Upon learning that the Union Army of the Potomac had a new commander, General George G. Meade, Lee ordered General R. S. Ewell to move to Cashtown or Gettysburg; however, the commander of Meade's advance cavalry, General John Buford, recognized the strategic importance of Gettysburg as a road center and was prepared to hold this site until reinforcements arrived."

Abstract
In this article the writer studies the character of Colonel Joshua Chamberlain as portrayed in the movie "Gettysburg". The writer describes Chamberlain as an unlikely, scholarly and militarily untrained college professor-turned-soldier, who exhibits strong traits of authoritative leadership. The writer maintains that Chamberlain possesses excellent traits of leadership in war and that as the movie "Gettysburg" depicts, Colonel Joshua Chamberlain's leadership style was an authoritative one. The writer concludes that Chamberlain's personality, as Jeff Daniels plays him in "Gettysburg", is both reflective and more contemplative than those of any of the other principal military figures depicted in the movie. Further the writer notes that Chamberlain is also a man of action when he has to be and a very brilliant and successful one.
From the Paper
"It was Colonel Joshua Chamberlain's particular leadership genius at Round Top, in fact that, historically speaking, as well as within in the movie Gettysburg, arguably turned not only the Battle of Gettysburg, but the Civil War itself into a victory for the North, rather than for the South as it probably otherwise would have been. Chamberlain's most remarkable instance of leadership, nerve, and heroism, in the Battle of Gettysburg, and as shown within the movie Gettysburg, took place at Little Round Top. Chamberlain and his men had been sent there, by Colonel Strong Vincent, to defend Little Round Top's southern slope. But from there, nothing at all went as planned, and Chamberlain had to thing fast, and with enormous resourcefulness."
