Abstract
This paper will examine why Aesop succeeded so well when he should have failed. It will also examine why writers will lose popularity if the relationship between predator and prey is too realistic. The relationship between predator and prey in "Aesop's Fables" is actually the same as in Brecht's story, but is presented in a different way.

From the Paper
"Bolen (2003) argues that abuse prevalence has not decreased through the course of implementing prevention programs. Prevention programs, instead, are deemed to be more effective ways to target potential offenders. Programs to promote healthy relationship patterns may be successful for the identical reason current prevention programs do not seem to succeed at reducing abuse. These programs target reducing offending behavior instead of reducing victimization. One of the primary causal factors for the current child sexual abuse epidemic and the prevalence of male offenders - the social definition of the male sex role are targeted. To begin to reduce child sexual abuse, targeting one of the vital causes of child sexual abuse; as well as, providing healthy behavioral alternatives are needed."

From the Paper
"Probably the most compelling reason child sexual predators are so dangerous is the number of children they victimize. According to Anna Salter Ph.D. (2003), the average child molester victimizes between 50 and 150 children before he is arrested. Furthermore, based on data from a study of 232 child sexual offenders where victims were fourteen years of age and younger, concluded that the average number per offender was 75.8 (Salter Ph.D., 2003). However, according to a 1994 National Institute of Health Survey of 453 pedophiles conducted by Dr. Gene Abel, showed these criminals were collectively responsible for the molestation of over 67,000 children, and average of 148 children per individual pedophile (Bader, 2003). Despite which study is the most accurate, the lowest numbers are incredible amounts of victimized children. "

From the Paper
"Sex offenders report regularly to probation officers, who ensure they follow the rules; to social workers who provide psychological support and services; and to polygraph examiners who can assess an offender's truthfulness about contacts with children or possession of pornography (Waters, 2004). "The more structure that is given to a sex offender, the fewer sexual re-offenses occur", says Charles Onley, researcher associate with the Center for Sex Offender Management (Waters, 2004)."

Child Predators, 2006.
This paper describes how child predators use the Internet to exploit their victims.

Abstract
This paper examines how the Internet can introduce new dangers for children. The author describes how accessing the Internet creates a link with millions of people. Today, many children use the internet. With so many children online, child predators can easily find and exploit them. The paper concludes with a list to be used if one suspects their child is being exploited on the Internet.
From the Paper
"Children have at all times been susceptible to oppression. Their gullible natures and innocence make them faultless targets for perpetratorsaE"both people they know and those they don't. As children grow into adolescents, they remain vulnerable to victimization. Youth are time and again curious and eager to try new things. Many youth struggle with issues of rebellion and independence and seek attention and affection from people outside the home, often by using computers. Today, an estimated 10 million children are using the Internet. By 2005, just about 77 million kids will be online. With so many children online, today's predators can easily find and exploit them. For predators, the Internet is a new, effective, and more anonymous way to seek out and groom children for criminal purposes such as producing and distributing child pornography, contacting and stalking children for the purpose of engaging in sexual acts, and exploiting children for sexual tourism for personal and commercial purposes. The temperament of Internet crimes presents complex new challenges for law enforcement agencies and victim service providers with regard to investigating crimes, collecting evidence, identifying and apprehending offenders, and assisting child victims and their families. For instance, victims and perpetrators are often separated geographically, which may hamper investigation efforts. Also, victims are often ashamed and reluctant to come forward, which makes identifying offenders difficult. These challenges are being addressed by federal and local law enforcement agencies, but there is still much to learn about preventing, identifying, and investigating Internet-based crimes against children.

William Shakespeare's "Othello, the Moor of Venice", 2006.
This paper discusses the use of animal imagery in William Shakespeare's "Othello, the Moor of Venice".

Abstract
This paper explain that the use of animal imagery in William Shakespeare's "Othello, the Moor of Venice" reflects the base instincts, which bring about the tragedy of the main character and his innocent wife. The author points out that negatively characterizing Othello as an animal might imply that he is as base and beastly as Iago, but his honor and nobility throughout the rest of Act I makes the reader doubt that Othello is the animal. The paper concludes that comparing the characters to animals suggests that the play is not about race, politics or social convention but rather about the predator and the prey, which is something deeper and more innate than the trappings of society. The paper includes several quotations.
From the Paper
"The innocent and good Cassio is deceived into believing himself a beast because of the machinations of Iago. Knowing that Cassio cannot tolerate alcohol, Iago encourages him to get drunk and orchestrates a fight in which Cassio appears the violent aggressor. Such behavior, especially because it interrupts the marriage bed of Othello and Desdemona, is perceived negatively by Othello who dismisses Cassio from his service. Cassio then likens himself to an animal, disparaging the effect of alcohol that "put an enemy in their mouths ....transform ourselves into beasts!""

Weather Effects on Animals, 2001.
A look at the link between weather, seasons and animal behavior.
1,000 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 0 sources, AU$ 51.95

Abstract
This paper is mostly about seasonal weather effects on humans. It discusses the correlation between long dark winters and suicide rates, seasonal affective disorder, the lowering of immunity from infections in cold weather and the spread of disease in hot weather. Also mentioned are the effects on animals of El Nino and how weather changes bring certain predators and prey closer together.
From the paper;
"Weather is the No. 1 talked about topic among people. Just for small talk and conversation?s sake, the state of the weather is always brought up. Weather has a deeper effect on animals than determining what to wear for the day or providing a topic of conversation. During the winter, people claim to have cabin fever. When spring arrives, they catch spring fever. While these two terms have taken on meaning as figures of speech, there is scientific research showing that weather effects humans and animals on a physiological and psychological level. Weather changes alter mood, behavior, and general well being. In certain climates, people tend to be healthier than others."

"Blood Rites", 2005.
This paper reviews writer Barbara Ehrenreich's "Blood Rites:The Origins and History of the Passions of War", an account of war from its beginnings to today, with an emphasis on its emotional aspects.

Abstract
This paper explains that Barbara Ehrenreich in her book, "Blood Rites: The Origins and History of the Passions of War" traces war's origins back to Paleolithic man's struggle against predators on the African savanna. According to the book, war soon required a symmetrical form that resembled sacrificial rites, which gradually developed into a merger of religion with militarism that transformed battle into a religious rite. The author points out, in the closing chapter, that Ehrenreich pointedly cites the horrifying figure that there have been 160 wars since World War II, which took the lives of 22 million people. The paper contends that mankind is prey, who, through its own efforts, has become a predator; thereby, society continues to prey upon itself, not for sport, but from a residue of insecurity and blood lust that no society yet has managed to suppress.
From the Paper
"The following chapters address the notion of the warrior elite. The author uses the example of General MacArthur's evocation of the long, gray line of West Pointers and Hitler's fantasy of a "race of Aryan god-men." However, the warrior elite has disappeared with the modern army, because when everyone has a gun, everyone is equal on the battlefield. The elite doesn't start wars anymore, since anyone can access the massive international arms market. Wars are free to everyone now. One example is the Russian war in Chechnya that was fought by special-forces soldiers."

From the Paper
"Bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix)
The bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix) has a notorious reputation. Various authors have called the fish ferocious and bloodthirsty. While the predator may have a ravenous appetite, it is also the leading sports fish in the United States.
The Linnaean system of taxonomic classification places bluefish in Phylum Chordata, Class Actinopterygii, Order Perciformes, and Family Pomatomidae. Members of Chordata have a notochord; whereas class Actinopterygii consists of the ray-finned fishes (Nelson 76). The order Perciformes is the largest order of vertebral animals, and the most diversified of all the fish orders. Indeed, the Perciformes dominate vertebrate ocean life. The family Pomatomidae is represented by two genera, Pomatomus and Scombrops, and three species (Nelson 350-351). "

Abstract
This paper discusses Book 22 of Homer's "The Iliad". Specifically, the paper discusses the final duel in which the prince of Troy, Hector, is killed by the greatest warrior of the Greek army, Achilles. The paper describes the imagery, particularly the symbolism of prey and predator, destiny and sexuality that is expressed in "The Iliad" and the way that these concepts are portrayed in Book 22.
From the Paper
"However, when Zeus weighs the destiny of both Achilles and Hector on the golden scale, it is shown that Hector's fate is to die, and Apollo leaves his side, (Book 22, Lines 180-200) When Hector realizes that Achilles will indeed prevail in their battle, he proclaims that his time to die has come as it was decided it would long ago by the gods. (Book 22, Lines 295-310) After Hector dies, Achilles responds to the Trojan's last words of how he will be cursed by welcoming his own destiny as the gods will make it. (Book 22, Lines 355-365) The gods are seen to play an integral role in the fulfillment of destiny. The gods interfere with the happenings of the mortals, for example Apollo taunting Achilles and aiding Hector in fleeing, or Athena tricking Hector into standing his ground in battle. Even the gods, however, are subject to the destiny that is determined by the golden scales, and even Apollo backed off and allowed Hector to die when it was shown this was his fate."

Abstract
This paper examines the North America toad, Bufo Alvarius, with respect to its natural defense mechanisms. Background information on the toad is given, as well as a discussion of prior research of and known reactions to the potent chemical, 5-MEO-DMT, secreted by the toad in response to predation. Last, this paper proposes an experimental project designed to establish the toxic blood and/or serum levels of this chemical, as well as characterize the reaction of predators to the chemical.
From the Paper
"With each increasing dose, the effects should be amplified, and may prove to be lethal. At this point, the experiment should be terminated, and the lethal dose should be noted. It is true that the doses administered here are much greater than what would be encountered by any predator or human, but there should be a direct correlation between the effects of the venom in raccoons and in other predators or organisms. I expect that the doses will prove to be fatal before the final dose is administered, while lower concentrations may lead to numbness, blurred vision, and paralysis or catatonic states, in addition to the aforementioned effects."

Abstract
This paper presents a rhetorical analysis of Sandra Hughes' CBS news item, "MySpace: Your Kids' Danger? Popular Social Networking Site Can Be Grounds For Sexual Predators." It aims to move beyond the implicit and relatively superficial review of the text to a fuller understanding of how the text creates meaning, how it helps the reader to construct knowledge and how it sways us to take action. The paper specifically looks at how the language of this article works.
From the Paper
"Visually, the story is arranged as a headline, a smaller-font secondary headline, and then twenty-two paragraphs, this for a story containing not quite 650 words. Immediately below the headlines, half of the reading column is taken up by a graphical image showing a computer in silhouette with transparencies of several young children, mostly girls, and several of them using cellphones. Below the graphic is a quote, suggesting the danger the article warns of. The effect of the graphic, the quote, and the headlines is to draw readers to the story that follows, a story that opens with three suggestive vignettes about children being approached in a sexually explicit manner on the Internet. Two of the three teenage girls described in the opening vignettes were murdered."

Methodology
From the Paper
"General document review will be used for the purposes of this dissertation. Document review is a qualitative method that involves the analysis of existing records (Overview of Qualitative Methods and Analytic Techniques). This method is often used when insights related to a specific subject cannot be obtained using other methods (Overview of Qualitative Methods and Analytic Techniques). As it relates to this particular method the documents used are defined as any recorded or written material that was not created for the purposes of the analysis (Overview of Qualitative Methods and Analytic Techniques). Generally these documents are placed into two categories: public records and personal documents (Overview of Qualitative Methods and Analytic Techniques)."

Population Size in Lynx Canadensis, 2008.

Abstract
This paper discusses the factors that regulate the population size of the lynx canadensis, the Canadian lynx that is common to boreal forests in nearly all of Canada, Alaska and the northern contiguous United States. It specifically looks at environmental, predation, competition and food availability factors. The paper includes graphs in its explanations.
From the Paper
"When the hare population begins to increase, the Lynx population follows the trend, as there is more prey available to feed on. Once the point where there are more hares being killed than are being born is reached, the prey population begins to fall. Due to the decreasing food supply, the Lynx population begins to suffer and declines as well. This is crucial in understanding why the lynx species does not grow out of control or suffer extinction (King & Schaffer 2001). During the low cycle of the hare population, the Lynx switches to hunting red squirrels; this shows the adaptive capabilities of the lynx that prevent the species from going completely extinct. However, as the hare population begins to rebound, the Lynx return to the hare as its primary source of prey and the cycle begins again (O'Donoghue et. al. 1998). The Lynx shows clear functional responses to changes in the densities of hares. Kill rates of the lynx varied from 0.3 to 1.2 hares per day, with the highest kill rate being one year after the peak in hare density (King & Schaffer 2001). This cyclic concept is illustrated in Figure 2."
