Educational Policy: A Functional Definition
Legal Issues in Education: Intelligent Design and Religion
From the Paper
"Intelligent design will continue to be a significant legal challenge for educators in the coming years in the United States, but also in other Western nations. Intelligent design is the latest attempt by religious institutions to blur the line between church and state in public institutions by wrapping religion in the cloak of science. Educators who are tempted by the possibility of bridging this divide would do well to remember that their primary responsibility is to the students in their care. It will only do them harm to teach them that religion has the explanatory power to supplant science--it is the historical equivalent of erasing the last five hundred years of scientific progress in favor of medieval religious dogma. Educators should collectively take a stand against intelligent design and commit themselves to providing the most accurate education possible to their students."

From the Paper
"This issue is important mostly due to the stakeholders that are involved in it. These include not only the healthcare organizations and managed care organizations, but also the research community, nurses, and patients, as well as the legal systems and those that provide insurance for hospitals and their workers (Peterson, 2001). Because there are so many different stakeholders that are involved with the issue of EBP, the policy is shaped in many ways from different directions. Because of the lack of information regarding managed care organizations, the rights of patients, and other issues that involve EBP, finding out a great deal about it is somewhat difficult (Taft, 2001). However, an effort will be made to clarify as much as possible what rights the patient has under managed care, what nurses are doing about patient rights, and how EBP fits into the issue."

"THE ABORTION DILEMMA
I. WHY WOULD A WOMAN CHOOSE ABORTION?
"Abortion is by all accounts the most difficult public-policy issue in contemporary America." (Callahan 1984 2) Perhaps not since the vituperative Civil Rights movement in the 1950s and '60s, when ideology turned ugly and caused deaths and injury, has any subject been as vehemently argued as the issue of Abortion. This issue is neither academic nor even, perhaps, objective. Yet, most people favor abortion in certain circumstances: "The Yankelovich et al poll of women over 18, commissioned by LIFE Magazine, showed that 67% of the total sample believed that abortion should be legal" (Callahan 1884 6). A woman faced with an unwanted pregnancy generally understands at some visceral level that there is human life ..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the issue of education in American schools is very crucial during this year's presidential campaigns between the republican presidential nominee Senator McCain and the democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama. The writer points out that both presidential candidates agree that the level of education standards is falling and that some kinds of reforms are needed in the education sector. However, each presidential candidate has his own views and plans on how best to improve education in America. This paper makes a comparative analysis of the education platform of both Senator McCain and Senator Obama. The writer outlines the main issues of education and looks at how the two candidate plan to handle the issues. The writer concludes that the position taken by the two presidential candidates differ in a number of aspects particularly on the No Child Left Behind Act.

Introduction
National Education Standards
Research and Development
Technology Application in Education
Federal Government Spending on Education
NCLB's Effects on Education
School Voucher System
Merit Pay
General Overviews of the Two Candidates
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The federal funding of education should be better and should be put on where they can be effectively be used such as in classroom, not on bureaucracy where the current spending seems to be based a lot. This is the viewpoint of senator McCain. On the other hand, Obama thinks that NCLB presently is not being financed well. But like McCain who specifies where to increase funding, Obama differs here, he suggests that the funding should be redefined so that funding is directed where it is required to ensure education is improved. For instance, ensuring that, every teacher has got high quality and training and that every student can access a high quality curriculum. "

Abstract
This paper presents a critical analysis of the American Bilingual Education policy from 1970 to the present.
From the Paper
"Without a doubt, the United States of America is a country where large numbers of immigrants come to pursue their goal, freedom, and better life. Based on that fact, it is very inevitable that immigrants would come with their kids or have American-born kids after the immigration. If a child was born outside of this country and came he would not be able to speak English as fluently as American-born kids. Such language barriers, not being able to speak English, prevent one from succeeding in the all English environment of a typical American classroom, because one has to struggle with obstacles generated by the limited English proficiency (LEP). The United States of America has been offering bilingual education nationwide to the ones with limited English proficiency since late sixties. In order to prevent any kind of misunderstanding and confusion in regard to the terminology, the definition of bilingual education is a program where students are taught in their native language instead of English. Its goal is assisting children with limited English proficiency within school system. However, bilingual education system is not helping children learn English and eventually succeed in the English society. It actually prevents them from learning English while taking the chance away to learn English from them as well as chance of getting used to new living environment they face outside school. Therefore, bilingual education system should not take place. "

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to underline the relationship between the elements of the state of Saudi Arabia and the reality these elements shape, with a focus on the educational system the Saudi state set in motion, especially in the second part of the 20th century. The focus of the paper is on a wide account of the education system in Saudi Arabia, with all its stages of evolution, values, and influences. The first part constitutes a brief historical background of the Saudi state. The second aspect dealt with in this paper involves the actual evolution of the education system in Saudi Arabia.
Outline:
Historical Background
The Evolution of the Educational System in Saudi Arabia
Current Issues in the Educational System in Saudi Arabia
Reformation of the Educational System in Saudi Arabia
Women and the Educational Reform
Conclusions
From the Paper
"Therefore the stand of the official executive branch represents a clear distinction between the need to develop and the spiritual needs of each Muslim. Despite the fact that first and foremost every Saudi thinks himself as a Muslim and then as a Saudi citizen, the recent priorities of the government tend to change focus and develop more initiatives that would eventually develop the country.
"The perspective offered by the reformist attempts that are underway in Saudi Arabia is relatively encouraging because it touches on serious yet sensitive issues dealing with the social and political structure of the state. At the same time it is a democratic exercise, from a double point of view. On the one hand, it promotes compromise among the political and religious forces, which is between the Saudi Family and the Wahhabis; on the other hand, it shows the population the state's desire to modernize and come into agreement with the rest of the democratic and prosperous countries.
"However, an important element most opinions seem not to agree upon is the situation of women in the society and in the educational system reform."

The paper focuses on the potential for the Patriot Act to erode constitutional rights.
Table of Contents:
Introduction - Background and History
Major Legal Issues
The Patriot Act in Use
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The problem is many of the provisions of the Patriot Act were actually drafted long before September 11, 2001, and had previously been rejected by Congress precisely because they violated established principles of constitutional law defining the limits of governmental surveillance of citizens for the purpose of law enforcement and prosecution. For example, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other components of the Department of Justice (DOJ) had previously sought certain types of "roving" wire taps in criminal investigations which were denied because they were considered too broad to satisfy constitutional protections (ACLU 2008). The Patriot Act authorizes those taps on the basis that terrorists often move too often to permit a effective surveillance of any specific location or telephone carrier."

"Direct Foreign Investment In Switzerland: Legal Issues
Introduction: Investment Climate
Switzerland, a fundamentally prosperous and stable modern
economy with a per capita GDP roughly 10% above that of the big West European economies, is experiencing short term difficulties. After recovering slowly in 1994 95 from recession, the Swiss economy remains weak, mainly because of the strong Swiss franc and weak growth in Swiss export market, especially in other European countries. Over the near term, growth may average barely 1%, with more than one half of this increase resulting from growth in inventories. Weak domestic consumer demand is the principal culprit; stagnation in real disposable income is combining with a reluctance to reduce saving rates in the face of ..."

Abstract
This paper reviews extant literature on youth violence, its extra-curricular motivations, its inappropriateness in a curricular setting, the role of television, gangs and drugs, and alcohol in creating a culture of youth violence that stems from unsupervised time, and the polemical argument between advocates and opponents of the zero-tolerance policy as it is presented as a way of reducing school violence in terms of both actual effect and perception.
Introduction
Literature Review
Areas for Further Research
Conclusion
From the Paper
"This policy is restricted by nature to within the walls of the institution, but unfortunately, the root of school violence may not be in the school setting itself. In fact, most students do not spend most of their time in the school setting: most students spend up to eight percent of their time away from school, with their school hours making up only a small minority of their total time. Therefore, although the root of school violence may lie in what students are doing during this unsupervised time, during their supervised time at school, a zero-tolerance policy can target behavior at its ends rather than its means and keep the time that students do spend at school safe, with the assumption being that students will be shocked into line by a set of policies that monitors their time at school strictly enough to deter them from even playacting or fantasizing along themes that suggest violent behavior within the school itself. The zero-tolerance policy differs from school to school, but predominantly, the policy seeks to cut down on a youth culture that
too often expresses itself anti-social activities such as gang violence and drugs instead of more productive, future-looking activities."
