U.N. and Other Actions to Date:
Aid to the Area
Helping to Bring Peace - the Role of the Christian Mission over the Next Five Years
Developing Partnerships to Ensure the Upliftment of the Oppressed People Groups in the Darfur Region
The People who will be Saved - "Make known among the nations what He has done" (Isaiah 12:4)
Long term Vision: What Would it be Like if Everything God Desires for the People of Darfur were to Blossom in the Next Twenty-Five Years?
From the Paper
"The Christian Mission should develop many partnerships, to ensure that it can be truly effective in the long term in this area. Suggested partners would be the UN World Food Program, the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Doctors Without Borders, the U.S. Agency for International Development, Amnesty International, the International Crisis Group, and the World Health Organization. The Christian Mission can in fact learn from these partners, as many of them are already well aware of the extreme health and other problems in the area that need to be addressed. In addition, the Christian Mission should be aware of a rapidly growing movement advocating for humanitarian intervention in several countries. People and organizations that are part of this movement can be approached as sources of funding to help the Christian Mission achieve its goals in this region."

Abstract
This paper responds to several topics related to the war in the Darfur region of the Sudan, noting that the conflict in Darfur began in 2003 and involves an ongoing battle between a militant Arab group called the Janjaweed and the non-Arab peoples living in the region. The paper discusses how Sudanese government has been supporting the militants, though it pretends it is not. The conflict is described in the West as an example of "ethnic cleansing" or genocide.
From the Paper
"Many of the thousands of deaths have been caused by starvation and disease, however, and not as part of a policy of extermination. Almost two million people have been displaced from their homes and have become refugees, many fleeing to neighboring Chad. The American government sent Colin Powell to see the refugee camps in Darfur in 2004, and he testified to Congress that genocide was being practiced there."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Christians and Christian missionaries have an obligation regarding basic human rights. The paper focuses on non-Christian regions, more specifically on the Darfur Region of Sudan.
The paper also discusses how the approach to spreading Christianity has evolved.
Outline:
Introduction
New Missionaries
Not a Competition
A More Quiet Missionary
Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are those who have alleged that the Anglican Church has forgotten its missionary responsibility In fact, quite the opposite is true; the Anglican Church acknowledges more than ever the need for missionary work; it acknowledges, too, the new approach to missionary work in that that mission is accomplished better today through deeds than a high profile visibility that serves to agitate and instigate violence. "A globe hangs from the ceiling of the church's two story entrance. Beneath it there is a miniature lighthouse urging members to 'share the light.' "The Wheaton Bible Church hasn't forgotten its missionary work, it, like so many other missionary organizations reaching out to the world today, just goes about it differently."

823 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 4 sources, APA, AU$ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how malaria is one of the major public health challenges in some of the poorest countries around the world. The paper looks at the work of global organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in combating this disease and shows how these efforts are hugely insufficient. The paper contends that because this misfortune is not seen and felt on a personal level, civilized society has chosen to ignore it. The paper appends a large amount of source material to the paper.
From the Paper
"Malaria is one of the major public health challenges in some of the poorest countries around the world. Malaria is a huge problem to underprivileged countries that cannot afford to maintain proper health care standards such as sanitary water, food, medicine and sanitation. Because of this, health care prevention suffers and inhabitants of these cultures are largely at risk for developing disease and dying because they do not have the appropriate resources to combat illness."

Personal Rewards vs. Helping Humanity, 2000.
The following essay discusses whether one would take a job that promised personal rewards as well as helping the rest of humanity.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay examines the dilemma in making a decision put before a hypothetical student at McGill University. If the ends always justify the means and personal ambition is a virtue, then one would most certainly take a job that promised one personal rewards and might also, as an added, but not necessary bonus, help the rest of humanity. However this paper looks at this decision from the perspective of the Mahayan Buddhist.
From the Paper
"While it is not moral to kill, the Buddhist also recognizes the fact that death is not the end, that in each life all sentient beings inhabit a mortal body that appears in the transient world and is lead through the cycle of death and rebirth to enlightenment. It may be that part of one's mission in a life is to help create medicines that will benefit many others."

?Helping and Hating the Homeless? by Peter Marin, 2004.
This paper discusses the perpetuating marginalization of the homeless in the United States as discussed in ?Helping and Hating the Homeless? by Peter Marin.
1,020 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 2 sources, APA, AU$ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Marin argues how society itself contributes to this marginalization due to the fear of breaking the status quo. The author points out that society itself is the primary factor that serves as the catalyst for homeless people to be displaced and labeled as a nuisance. The paper relates that Marin wrote the essay in response to a Santa Barbara court?s decision to ban homeless people from sleeping in public places in the town at night.
From the Paper
"Whatever social attention the homeless people receive from the society is certainly a negative feedback about these ?nuisance and vagrants?: ?Hundreds of them turned out for the meeting? and castigate them? It was the power and depth of the emotion revealed: the mindlessness of the fear, the vengefulness of the fury? the actual homeless men and women, might not have existed at all.? Utter rejection and negligence in the part of the society to solve the problem of homelessness is one of the main reasons why the perception that the homeless are dangerous prevailed in Marin?s society, and continues to prevail until today."

Table of Contents:
Abstract
History of Mental Illness
The Problems of Homelessness
De-institutionalizing the Mentally Ill
A Study of Homelessness, Mental Illness, and Citizenship
From the Paper
"The solution according to the government is to deinstitutionalize those who have mental illness, but in reality many of these patients are released from the institutions and become homeless. The process of deinstitutionalization sounds easy and most professionals believe the mentally ill can adjust to the community (Zissi, 2006). Few people understand the problems of the mentally ill when it comes to social environment factors and living in the community. A major problem with the mentally ill adjusting to the community is the stigma of the labels they receive once they are diagnosed. "The stigma of mental illness remains a serious social problem and critical impediment to treatment seeking among diagnosed individuals" (Teachman, Wilson, and Komarovskaya, 2006, p. 75). People who have mental health problems have trouble adjusting to the community because it is not easy for them to make friends and even for family members to develop close relationships with them. Many homeless people who have mental health issues would rather return to the environment of being homeless because they have friends who are also homeless and they are not treated as abnormal."

From the Paper
"The following interview was conducted with a university student. Jenny states that she is now older and much more mature than when she was hospitalized as a teenager for complications related to diabetes. "Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body does not make or properly use insulin, a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches, and other food into energy" (National Diabetes Education Program, 2005, p. 1). This former patient received a great deal of help as a result of her hospitalization. That help consisted of new learning and insights about her chronic condition. Jenny's needs at..."

The Wife of Bath: Hurting Rather than Helping Feminism, 2005.
This paper analyzes the Wife of Bath from Geoffrey Chaucer's classic novel "The Canterbury Tales" and argues against critics who call her an early feminist.
718 words (approx. 2.9 pages), 5 sources, MLA, AU$ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This brief but concise paper points out the many factors which identify the Wife of Bath, Alisoun, as an anti-feminist, including her viewpoint on: Violence within marriage, honesty, equality of the sexes and feminine roles in society. The writer of this paper succeeds in disproving many critics opinions that the Wife of Bath was one of the first feminists in literature.
From the Paper
"Alisoun also describes a fight between her fifth husband, Jankin, and herself. They strike each other repeatedly, and she goes even so far as to push him back into the fire. Violence is by no means a true aspect of feminism; "she seems to see nothing wrong with the most horrible things that can be done to a woman, such as battery and rape." Furthermore, she shows absolute disrespect for her own body by engaging in domestic violence, and by treating herself and her sexuality as something that can be sold to the highest bidder, "be he short or tall, dark or fair; I didn't care."

Abstract
The paper provides an examination of the book, "Hooked: Five Addicts Challenge Our Misguided Drug Rehab System", by Lonny Shavelson and explores the suggested changes to the treatment system for drug addicts. The paper discusses the major limitations of the treatment system as highlighted by Shavelson and explores the changes proposed. The paper shows the importance of positive changes and details the conclusions reached by the author of the book. The paper is of the opinion that the author's solutions and conclusions are well thought out and potentially beneficial.
Outline:
Major Limitations of the System and their Impact
Author's Conclusions and Recommendations
The Power of Positive Changes
From the Paper
"There are some major limitations of the treatment system, and after reading this book it is quite clear they affect the recovery and success of the addicts they are attempting to treat. First, counselors and professionals toss the addicts out of the program if they relapse into their abusive behavior. This seems like "cruel and unusual" punishment, because it seems if they relapse, that is when they need help the most. Relapse is a stressful time, and the addict feels hopeless and alone, yet, this is when the program is the most heartless. If addicts were able to control their behavior, they would not need treatment in the first place. Tossing them out of the program if they relapse ensures their failure and ensures they will feel like failures. In fact, studies show that addiction is a disease of the brain - not easily treated, which is why so many addicts face the problem of relapse."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the role of the Italian mafia as a business like any other, and its long history in the United States. The author discuses how the mafia's illegal and legal enterprises help propel our capitalist society, and how their ties with major labor unions enable them to dominate major industries. The paper also looks at how the Italian mafia works with other ethnic crime organizations, such as the Russian mafia, and Colombian drug cartels.
From the Paper
"The mafia is a loose term in our country, as we as Americans are fascinated by the mysteriousness of it. Movies, books, plays, and now even a television series have been made depicting different real life stories regarding the mafia. The television show The Sopranos gives a great rendition about life in New Jersey as a mobster. This show allows viewers to see both sides of the story when thinking about gangsters. One is able to see their ruthless side in some situations, and then also the way they conduct business. Much of the business they conduct is with people who know what situation they are in, and are willing to accept the terms, based on a mutual agreement. In recent years, there have been several cases where a mafia member would go against their former family in order to lighten their jail sentence, breaking their code of conduct known as Omerta. The United States is a capitalist and free market society. The mafia helps in the expansion and existence of this capitalist society by their influences in legal and illegal businesses, with the help of political parties and leaders that are best placed to help them."

Helping Deaf Students, 2007.
This paper explores the interpreter's role in deaf and hearing education.
1,028 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 4 sources, MLA, AU$ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how deaf students face particular challenges in the classroom, challenges often met and addressed by interpreters. The paper examines the misconceptions that exist with respect to the interpreter's role. The paper explains that the primary role of the interpreter is as translator, providing objective and factual information to deaf students in a manner that doesn't interfere with the student's ability to participate actively in the classroom. The paper concludes that it is vital that teachers, hearing and deaf students understand the role of the interpreter to maximize deaf students' opportunities for shared communication and success in the mainstream classroom.
From the Paper
"Many assume the interpreter's role in the classroom is limited to providing interpretive services to deaf students. Realistically speaking however the interpreter's role in the classroom is much more complex and involved. Frasu (2003), an interpreter, notes that it is vital to educate hearing consumers regarding the interpreter's role in the classroom, but that this is also one of the more difficult aspects of an interpreter's position. Further as an interpreter the author notes that no matter one's skill level it is often difficult to interpret information for those that aren't knowledgeable of the role and significance of interpreting services (Frasu, 2003)."

How Schools are Helping Child Sufferers Combat the ADHD Disorder, 2002.
A paper which examines the steps schools are taking to help children who suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
1,755 words (approx. 7.0 pages), 6 sources, MLA, AU$ 82.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper describes Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD or ADD as it is commonly referred to, as a debilitating disorder that affects children and adults alike, however its effects on children appear to be more pronounced due to their need to concentrate and focus in their schooling to prepare them for adulthood. This paper explores what ADHD is, its symptoms and possible causes. Strategies by schools and teachers are also addressed, particularly in their methods of creating awareness of this disorder and including the sufferer in normal classes.
From the Paper
"Many of the strategies that special education educators adopt are fundamentally sound teaching methods. Informing child ADHD sufferers in advance of what they will be learning, like providing an agenda, giving visual aids, and writing out oral instructions contribute much to helping students with ADHD. It aids them in sustaining their focus on the lesson at hand, as well as helping them recall what they are supposed to learn. Teachers even encourage students with ADHD in observing and managing their own behavior and attention by educating them on certain techniques. These techniques encompass seeking instructions on the blackboard, raising their hand in the event of a question or problem as opposed to shouting for attention, test their own memory, or quietly ask a fellow student of they have a question or need clarification on something being taught."

Hunters Helping the Environment, 2004.
A debate against closing wildlife management areas to sportsmen.
1,724 words (approx. 6.9 pages), 10 sources, MLA, AU$ 81.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that sportsmen are vital for the control of wild animal populations and contribute more to conservation of wild animals than anyone else. The writer brings evidence that because agencies, such as the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), and federal taxes, such as the Pittman-Robertson Act, endangered species are being protected, and sportsmen are preserving the environment for future generations.
Contents
Introduction
Hunting and Fishing are Positive Ways to Manage Wildlife Populations
Sportsmen Often Contribute More to Conservation than Non-sportsmen
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Due to the evolution of man and the wide availability of food to people in America, hunting is no longer a necessity for life. Man has also developed a sense of caring and compassion for creatures other than themselves. However, due to the expansion of human cities and towns, wild animals are being forced into smaller and smaller areas, which creates competition for food and for space. Thanks to the development of Wildlife Management Areas, or WMA?s, wild animals can roam free and not have to compete for space and food. WMA?s were created because people who didn?t regularly see much wildlife and people who really cared for the wildlife wanted a way to preserve some of the wilderness out of care for the animals and for the enjoyment of other people. Local and state governments usually control WMA?s although there are private plots of land usually owned and controlled by farmers that serve as Wildlife Management Areas as well. Many people argue that since WMA?s are intended to protect the animals, then hunting should not be allowed inside an area designated as a WMA. However, over the last 100 years, it has been proven that some hunting is necessary to maintain healthy populations within the WMA?s. The management areas, overall, are pretty small areas of land. Just like the way that we can only have so many people living in one area before things become competitive and the government has to step in, we must have a way to control the animal populations inside the WMA?s. The most humane way of doing so is by allowing hunters into the WMA?s to take a controlled number of specific animals."
