Abstract
This paper examines Lebanese emigration from the perspective of the civil war?s effects on the nation?s population and discusses the nation and its populace in terms of cultural, political, and economic factors.
From the Paper
"National instability due to adverse conditions brought about by the presence of warring factions is often the cause of mass migration patterns that affect the demographic statistical information regarding the nation?s perceived economic and political stability. In the case of Lebanon, the nation had a governmental system in place before the 1960s that was lauded by international concerns for its stability and functionality in reference to the nation?s diverse population groups. This perspective is contrasted sharply with the years of civil war that wracked the region, particularly during and after the 1970s, when
extra-national interests became involved in domestic policy as both aggressors and supporters."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to provide a description and analysis of the civil war in Lebanon (1975-1976), including who was involved in the conflict, when and where the conflict occurred, the reasons for the conflict, and the results.
Lebanon's vulnerability to civil strife such as that experienced by the beleaguered nation in 1975-1976 is rooted in an ongoing social, religious and political struggle between Lebanese Christians and Muslims. Neither group is itself homogeneous in belief or background but instead is composed of individual sects. The largest Christian sect, the Maronites, are culturally and emotionally allied with the West, particularly France. The largest Muslim sect, the Sunnites belong to the dominant Islamic group in the Arab world. The Shi'ites, another Muslim sect dominant in southern Lebanon, claim an historical"

Habeas Corpus - Civil Liberty or Civil Right, 2008.

3,137 words (approx. 12.5 pages), 15 sources, APA, AU$ 132.95

Abstract
This paper explores the origins and history of habeas corpus, from its roots that predate the Magna Carta through to the present day, where it is being employed to the benefit of hundreds that wrongly languish in prison. The paper also explains the distinction between civil right and civil liberty and discusses which applies to habeas corpus. Lastly, the paper looks at the historic ups and downs of habeas corpus and discusses its unique place in the Constitution, separate from provisions contained in the Bill of Rights.
From the Paper
"Rights and liberties need to be at their strongest when public support is at its weakest. Civil rights are decreed by law, civil liberties are God given, and the actions of legislatures are inevitably governed by the politics of the time. Habeas corpus is a civil liberty included among the "self evident truths" of the Declaration of Independence, and alone one of the civil liberties that can be suspended by acts of the government during times of crisis. The president judged by history as one of the best, sought to suspend these liberties in time of extreme crisis in the nation's young history. It was circumvented to increase support during a world war, to intern "dangerous" citizens during another, and to grant due process rights to perpetrators of the war for the new millennium. It is now freeing hundred of wrongly convicted people of a crime. The future of habeas corpus is uncertain in the short term, but solid in the future as all inalienable rights bestowed upon the common man by his creator."

Abstract
This paper describes the conditions in Ireland that pushed people to leave for Canada, the pull factors that made British North America so attractive. The author states that the immigration was successful for both Ireland and British North America: Ireland reduced population and Canada received Irish immigration who provided the unskilled labor required to develop the country, a population to protect the colony under any further attacks from the United States and the political and economic influence of the Irish people. The paper states that there were problems such as an overwhelming flood of immigrants in the case of the exodus of 1847, cholera outbreak in Canada in the 1830s and poverty. Annotated bibliography.
From the Paper
"From 1815 to 1870 approximately 875,000 Irish embarked on ships heading to British North America. Usually immigration had a positive impact for both the homeland and the colonies; for owners of timber ships it solved the problem of sending empty ships westward across the Atlantic, and for Irish landlords it could be used to reduce unnecessary labor on their estates. For most emigrants the effects of moving from their homeland was also positive, because many found employment, land and wealth in Canada that they could not have obtained in Ireland. For the entire century various factors played a part in the experience of emigrating. The class, religion and wealth of the people themselves varied, with the highest classes and wealthiest leaving before the famine, and with the poorest fleeing around mid-century. The factors pushing emigrants from Ireland and pulling themselves towards British North America also changed as the century progressed. For most people the lack of opportunity in Ireland, and the plentiful employment, land, and the chance of improving ones position in society in Canada, were cited as being the main reasons for leaving."

No Man?s Land, Emigration, and ?Caramelo?, 2002.
A review of the novel, ?Caramelo?, by Sandra Cisneros.

Abstract
This paper examines the novel, "Caramelo", written by Sandra Cisneros, which portrays the life of Celaya ?Lala? Reyes, who, together with her family, travels from Chicago to Mexico City each summer. The book depicts the stories of Lala?s Mexican-American family of shawl makers. It discusses how the life of Lala is indicative of the life of many immigrants who come to America, especially those of years past, and how many feel as though they are caught ?between here and there?, traveling from their home in America to their native land and back again. It shows how, in the end, Lala, like most emigrants today, comes to terms with her dual existence and accepts the idea that some places, like America, belong to everyone and not to one particular ethnic tradition or identity.
From the Paper
"The novel also reveals the many conflicts of class and culture, and themes of emigration present for all people not native born in the United States. The scenes described by Lala are reminders of feelings and emotions many children face when entering a new country such as the United States, where it is much more difficult to associate with one cultural tradition or heritage. After emigrating, many children often feel trapped between two different cultures and languages. They face trying to counterbalance the traditions of their homeland with the lack of traditions and excitement in the United States."

Abstract
This paper discusses the political strife, civil wars and social and economic chaos that have been a part of Lebanon's history almost since the country achieved its independence in 1941. The paper also looks at past leaders of Lebanon who were assassinated, tensions between Lebanon and its neighbors, Syria and Israel, and the persistent problem created by radical Palestinians and Hezbollah members who reside with Lebanon.
From the Paper
"In 1975, an even worse civil war broke out, and it is estimated (Brunner 808) that some 40,000 Lebanese of all religious persuasions, were killed. Again, there was an uneasy truce, with a lot of political shuffling among the politicians who wanted to, or claimed, they had the power to rule. "Civil war erupted again in 1983. From 1987 to 1990, fighting was heavy and thousands died. The government could not operate normally or sponsor elections for parliament, which was last elected in 1972. Amin Gamayel became president after Bashir Gamayel was assassinated in 1982. He served until 1988, when General Michel Aoun took control of the government. Aoun, a Maronite, ordered parliament dissolved in 1989. However, parliament did not recognize his authority and elected Rene Moawad president. He was assassinated a few days later by Aoun loyalists. Elias Hrawi was then elected president of Lebanon. Aoun was dismissed, but he continued to battle rival Christian forces" (CultureGram 2006 2). Worse yet, Beirut, the capital was bitterly dfivided, and a "Green Line"was drawn up separating the city into East and West sides, who did not want to interact with one another."

Abstract
Compares Thoreau's notion of civil disobedience with the civil rights movement of the 1960s to gain equal rights for African Americans. Leadership of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his thinking. Moral reasons for disobeying unjust laws. Peaceful demonstrations and those of activists. Bus boycott & NAACP litigation approach. Sit-ins, Freedom Rides and voter registration efforts of SNCC.
From the Paper
"In his original formulation of the idea of civil disobedience Henry David Thoreau argued that when "gross inconsistency is tolerated" by the citizens of a democracy then "under the name of order and civil government, we are all made at last to pay homage to and support our own meanness" (Thoreau). In Thoreau's case he refused to pay taxes on the grounds that the government supported both an imperialist war against Mexico and the ownership of slaves. He held that a taxpayer in a democracy that engages in imperialist aggression and the expansion of slavery becomes, by way of his participation, an imperialist and a slave owner himself--no matter what private opinions he holds and no matter how he voted. To accept the order that allows these things was, in effect, not merely to accede to their existence but to become one with those who behaved in this..."

The Role of Civil Societies: Three Approaches, 2006.
A paper discussing what makes a society civil and what we think is the behavior of civilized people.

Abstract
This paper considers different views about what makes a civil society and civilzed behavior. In particular, the paper discusses what the role of a civil society is according to political thinkers John Locke, Alexis de Tocqueville and Karl Marx.
From the Paper
"Of his major concerns, Locke reasoned that men in their natural condition were "free, equal, and independent." It was not a matter of their thinking themselves independent, for property was a physical relationship to external nature, and it was within the limits provided by this physical relationship that each individual could equally find room or space to exercise his freedom independently of other men. By being masters of themselves and proprietors of their own actions and labor, men had in themselves a great foundation of property and independence. "Every man has property of his own person," Locke reasoned. "This nobody has any right to but himself. The labour of his body and the work of his hands are properly his. Whatsoever then he removes out of the State that Nature hath provided and left it in mixed his labour with, and joined to do it something that is his own, and thereby makes it his property." At the level of subject matter, civil societies consisted of individuals who acquired by their physical actions something as their own, which was distant and separate from what other individuals had."

From the Paper
"After the Civil War, the 13th Amendment to the Constitution was passed in 1865. The 13th Amendment outlawed slavery. In 1868, the 14th Amendment was passed. This amendment made anyone born in the United States a naturalized citizen and afforded them equal protection under the law. The amendment however although providing equal protection to all citizens, created what is known as the separate by equal doctrine or better known as segregation. In 1870, the 15th Amendment was passed which provided voting rights to all citizens regardless of race. But with the passing of this amendment it, it did not remove literacy tests to qualify voters. This test was particularly used to eliminate black voters. "

Abstract
This paper reviews some of the Civil War issues covered in McPherson's book about the pre-Civil War, Civil War, and post-Civil War periods.

From the Paper
"James McPherson?s book is deep and rich with more than just the facts, dates, names and battles of the pre-Civil War, Civil War, and post-Civil War periods. In fact, this book is so thorough and meticulous in its background coverage, it should be required reading for college students delving into American History. An instructor with good academic instincts could succinctly summarize each of the twenty-eight chapters, and provide illustrated interactive sessions with students to cover the entire book."

Abstract
This paper is a thorough examination of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States and the affect it had on the black community. It looks at the history of the movement beginning in the 1950s and covers all of the major events such as Brown v. Board of Education, the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964, Rosa Parks, and Dr. Martin Luther King. The positive affects of the movement on the black community and their position in American society from the 1970s through 1990s is detailed through the use of charts and graphs.
From the paper:
"The Civil Rights Movement was very successful in creating equal opportunities and civil rights towards the African Americans and minorities of the United States. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a prime example to show how the movement was indeed successful. Clearly this is a sensitive issue among blacks and whites alike. The Civil Rights Movement ultimately had a dramatic effect on the African American Culture of the United States. As a result of this movement, more African American people have become influential in the political and social aspects of the American society. More and more African Americans are beginning to emerge into the middle and even upper class of the United States. Just take a look at the three CEOs of AOL, American Express, and Merrill Lynch. These are all major players in the politics and economy of the United States."
