Abstract
This paper discusses international terrorism. It looks at the various types of terrorism which differ in the aims and scope of the issues that they target. The paper specifically focuses on the differences that exist between groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, the Islamic Jihad and the PKK. It briefly describes each group's background and the means they use to deliver their messages.
From the Paper
"Overall, it can be said that terrorism has become a vital point of discussion among the political leaders because it affects the societies targeted by the actions it encompasses, as well as the conduct of foreign policy which must be drafted in the context of an invisible war against terror. However, Islamic groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the Islamic Jihad, along with the PKK maintain their relatively nation related activities. On the other hand, Al Qaeda has become a global phenomenon. Therefore, peace cannot be reached until such perpetrators are punished. In the Palestinian conflict nonetheless, the conditions on the site would suggest a contrary attitude, one leaned towards diplomacy and cultural acceptance and cohabitation."

Abstract
This paper discusses international terrorism and the fact that it is difficult to define. The paper suggests that despite the lack of a clear image, terrorism has been discussed and analyzed from various perspectives, political and scholarly alike. The paper looks at some of the conclusions from the literature and discusses how these could point to a more coherent identification of terrorism and a future course of action.
From the Paper
"In today's world, there are certain elements that have influenced modern terrorist movements and the moral support of leaders from abroad is of great importance as a source of inspiration for the terrorist groups. Thus, Leninist extremists have been seen to promote different socialist visions that have been kept from the early beginnings of the centuries; similarly, the influence of the addresses made by certain leaders such as Osama bin Laden via the network cable or the Internet are essential for maintaining the ideological identification of the group with its leader which, in case of fanatics, embodies the essence of the cause they fight for. In such situations, there is little that can actually be done. The war against terrorism has been waged for years now, without a definite result or a prospect for a final outcome. However, the only alternative would be to deny ourselves every possibility of eventually catching leaders such as Osama bin Laden. Inaction or a stop in the quest against terrorist perpetrators would transmit precisely a message of surrender and capitulation in the face of terror."

Abstract
The paper explores how international terrorism is related to and often dependent on modern communications technology and the connectivity in our social, economic and personal environment. The paper looks at cyber-terrorism and shows how the spread of terrorism is an almost unavoidable result of the proliferation of electronic media and technology.
Outline:
Introduction
Extremist Groups and Technology
Divergent Groups and Communication
Varieties of Cyber-Terrorism
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The growth of terrorism in our contemporary world is a fact that is without doubt one of the greatest threats to peace and civilization today. The question that may be asked is why has terrorism become such a global and international threat to the world? Terrorism as a style of protest and even warfare, characterized by the aim of instilling fear and terror in certain countries or people is not something new in history. Terrorism in some form or another is evident, even from a brief glance at human history. However, in our age, terrorism is international and is often coordinated between different countries and regions of the world."

Alternative Fuels, 2008.
An argument that alternative fuels are key to the future of our planet.
885 words (approx. 3.5 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 31.95
»

Abstract
The paper considers the greenhouse effect and global warming and discusses the development of hydrogen and electricity as alternative fuels. The paper author of the paper strongly believes that we must begin to use alternative fuels, otherwise we will continue on the downward path toward the complete destruction of the earth and its natural habitats.
From the Paper
"Over the past ten years or so, the American government and the public have increased their awareness of the problems associated with global warming, caused by what some call the "greenhouse effect" in which carbon dioxide, the byproduct of burning fossil fuels like coal and oil, prevents the earth from cooling down as it naturally would if not for the presence of CO2 in the atmosphere. Within recent times, many scientists have concluded that this "greenhouse effect" is warming up the planet to the point where ice caps and glaciers in Antarctica and the North Pole are melting at unprecedented rates, thus making it feasible that coastlines along all major continents will be inundated by melting water sometime in the future, causing huge numbers of people to seek higher ground."

Abstract
This paper discusses Turkish immigration to the US, focusing on three major waves of their immigration. The paper also explores whether the immigration was voluntary or involuntary and what the motivating factors were. The paper also explores what the immigrants faced upon their arrival to the United States and where the immigrants largely settled. The paper then looks at the skills they possessed and how those skills influenced the kind of jobs they were able to procure.
From the Paper
"According to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, more than 450,000 immigrants from Turkey have come to the United States since 1820. The rate of immigration has increased since World War II. Between 1930 and 1950 only about 100 immigrants entered the U.S. per year. Today, the rate is closer to 4,000 per year (Kaya 425). Immigrants from Turkey have settled in all fifty states, but the largest concentration of this immigrant group is in New York State, with the greatest concentrations in the New York City metropolitan area."

Abstract
This paper discusses the article, "Abortion and The Sexual Agenda," written by Sidney Callahan, in which she argues that the pro-choice movement has actually been harmful to the cause of feminism, pushing women toward a male-oriented version of sexuality and allowing them to become associated with the mass killing of unborn babies. The paper discusses her arguments.
Table of Contents:
The Callahan Argument
The Moral Right to Control One's Body
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Callahan (1986) claims that, because there is no moral justification for abortion, pro-choice feminists have aligned themselves with an immoral practice that hurts the cause of feminism. But Callahan's contention that there is no moral right to control one's own body when it is keeping another being alive is undermined by society's treatment of undeveloped and under-developed conjoined twins. In these cases, society clearly recognizes a moral right to control one's body, even at the expense of another being that Callahan would define as living and human. The moral right that Callahan claims does not exist, is, in fact, very present. And if there is a moral argument that can be extended to abortion, then Callahan's contention that pro-choice feminists have aligned themselves with an immoral practice can not be fully defended."

Withdraw From Iraq!, 2008.
A paper arguing that the U.S. must end the military occupation in Iraq.
2,396 words (approx. 9.6 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 73.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper contends that the U.S. occupation of Iraq has contributed to a deeper sense of insecurity at home on the part of Americans and has not helped reduce the magnitude of worldwide terrorism. The paper examines the main arguments in favor of military withdrawal from Iraq and shows how the American intervention in Iraq has profoundly influenced the level of hatred for the United States around the world.
From the Paper
"The war in Iraq is an ongoing conflict which started with the American and British allied forces' invasion of Iraq in March, 2003. The invasion was launched by a coalition of army forces from the United States, United Kingdom and Spain, at the command of President George W. Bush, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar. Their common reason behind the invasion of Iraq was that Iraq was actively developing weapons of mass destruction, and they invoked the Iraqi refusal to surrender these weapons and to cease all activities in this field."

Genetically Modified Foods, 2008.
An exploration of the stakeholders of genetically modified foods and their concerns.
1,654 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 10 sources, APA, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the range of stakeholders regarding genetically modified foods and examines the strategies used to address their concerns. The paper also explores the role of international organizations such as the World Trade Organization (WTO). The paper concludes that although technologies for genetically modified foods offer dramatic promise for meeting some of the greatest challenges of the 21st century, levels of decision-making and legislation often serve as a deterrent to their implementation.
Outline:
Introduction
Stakeholders at the National, International and Local Levels (Government & Non-Government)
Strategies and Levels of Decision Making
Examples of Legislation Related to Genetically Modified Foods
Areas in which Stakeholders Agree and Disagree
The Role of International Organizations
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The world's population is predicted to double in the next 50 years and ensuring an adequate food supply for this booming population is already a challenge. Scientists hope to meet that challenge through the production of genetically modified food plants that can help in warding off starvation as the world's population grows. As a result, in the past few years genetically modified (GM) foods have become the target of intense controversy, as competition among different stakeholders increase."

Illegal Aliens and California's Healthcare System, 2008.
Presents a research proposal to find a method of addressing the rising needs of healthcare for illegal aliens in the State of California.

Abstract
This paper reports that the impact of illegal alien immigrants on the California health care system is astronomical especially because illegal immigrants bring infectious disease into California and the United States. Many of these diseases have never been known in the United States while others were long ago eradicated from the U.S. The author stresses that California physicians must develop an initiative to address preventative health care and disease detection and treatment for this population. The paper recommends a qualitative methodology using focus groups of California private practitioners to formulate a plan through which private practitioners may provide medical care for illegal immigrant aliens.

From the Paper
"FAIR further reports: "Immigrants are often uninsured and underinsured. Forty-three percent of noncitizens under 65 have no health insurance. That means there are 9.4 million uninsured immigrants, a majority of whom are in the country illegally, constituting 15 percent of the total uninsured in the nation in the mid-1990s. The cost of the medical care of these uninsured immigrants is passed onto the taxpayer, and strains the financial stability of the health care community. Another problem is immigrants' use of hospital and emergency services rather than preventative medical care."

Religious Fundamentalism, 2008.
This paper refers to the works of Karen Armstrong, Mark Juergensmeyer and Malise Ruthven on the issue of holy wars and crusades.

Abstract
The paper examines Karen Armstrong's "Holy War", Mark Juergensmeyer's "Terror in the Mind of God" and Malise Ruthven's "Fundamentalism: The Search for Meaning". The paper discusses Armstrong's theory that fundamentalist religion is essentially a response to and a product of modern culture, Juergensmeyer's belief that cultures of violence, and not the religion itself, cause terrorism within fundamental believers and Ruthven's explanation of fundamentalism. The paper shows how the three authors each offer important insight into understanding both the history and current status of religious fundamentalism.
From the Paper
"In Holy War: Armstrong argues that it was the historic crusades against the Byzantine empire overrun by Muslim Turks by the Christian warriors summoned by Pope Urban II. During this period, the Christian fundamentalist took up the cross and the sword against the Turks with the sole purpose of recovering the holy city of Jerusalem from Islam. It is this initial battle that is still today raging, as the sides of Christians, Jews and Muslims continue to fight against the modern holder of the holy lands, whether the ownership be actual or theoretical."
