11 pages in length. With all the deception and ridicule surrounding the American judicial system, it would seem a good idea to open up the courtrooms across the country to show in intricate detail just how the process is achieved. After all, both the public and the system itself stand to learn quite a bit from televised trials. From a taxpayer's point of view, people have every right to know what is happening inside the very courtrooms their tax dollars furnish. Supporters of cameras contend that each citizen should have the option of seeing just what their money is paying for, as well as be privy to every minute detail that may not otherwise make it into a reporter's account of the trial. However, the question that comes immediately to the minds of many critics when the issue of courtroom cameras is broached, is what actual purpose do they serve by being there?

A 10 page paper tracing the evolution of 3M’s customer service from fragmented, erroneous and inefficient to the development of one of the most enviable systems in existence today. 3M’s first step was to develop a vast data warehouse containing all customer, sales and product information, then to link that data warehouse to the company’s website so that customers also can access their own information as well as view every one of the more than 50,000 products that the $16 billion company sells in more than 200 countries. The result is greatly improved customer service that also serves the principles of retention marketing and strategic account management. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

6 pages in length. J.D. Salinger captures the pure essence of innocence and vulnerability in his classic The Catcher in the Rye by presenting a most detailed and intricate verbal account of Holden's quest for acceptance from a world that has otherwise betrayed him. By using only words, the author conjures up literary images of Holden's most desirable woman that are difficult to overlook in their inherent singularity and definitude. Indeed, this is a concept appreciated by adults and adolescents alike, in that such beautiful – yet sometimes-subtle impressions – represent the epitome of Holden's quest.

The UK , Ireland, Et Al – How Can Neighbors Be So Different? This in-depth12-page analytical essay explores the reasons why neighboring countries: [The UK, The Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales] can have markedly disparate political systems. In part, outside influences and each nation’s history account for how its form of government evolved. In addition, once these contributory historical events are made evident, it then becomes easier to fathom how these “neighbors” can have such different political ways of doing things.

5 pages in length. When examining Burton Raffel's Beowulf and the reflection is has upon the Anglo-Saxon dramatic society, one can readily detect a strong sense of New Historicism to its overall presence. When applying New Historicism to Raffel's Beowulf, it is easy to do so with regard to content and the overall prevailing genre of that time. The multi-faceted concepts of heroes, monsters, blood, victory and death all relate heavily to the one-sided notion that historical accounts have offered throughout the ages. Incorporating New Historicism into the aspects of Beowulf helps the reader to gain a better understanding of why such demonstrative action took place so readily, as well as reinforces the concepts of chivalry and honor.

A 9 page discussion of the contention that cognition, the process by which learning occurs, accounts for most, if not all, of human functioning. Indeed, most aspects of our lives involve an individual being cognizant of his or her environment and gaining knowledge from that environment. This involves both thinking and problem solving which in turn results in memory formation and learning. Even our own self concept is intimately tied to the process of cognition. When either the physiological or the psychological factors which shape one’s self concept is impeded so too is our self efficacy. Bibliography lists 19 sources.

6 pages in length. An issue of great concern to the counseling field is that of the patient/therapist relationship. Such issues as dual-relationships, sexual behavior and bartering for services are just a handful of considerations to make when examining the unethical behavior found in Irvin D. Yalom's "Every Day Gets A Little Closer," where two decidedly distinctive accounts of the same therapeutic process is provided – one by the therapist and the other by the patient. Indeed, the variance that exists between these two reports is enlightening enough on their own accord, however, when one delves deeper into the specific elements that ultimately comprised this experience, it becomes quite clear that ethics comes into question.

5 pages in length. Ever since man began telling tales, incredible accounts of freakish, monster-like animals have captivated and horrified entire communities. The basis for these extraordinary fabrications was the inability of early writers to distinguish between truth and fantasy. As the stories were passed down through generations, they eventually became accepted as the legends known today. However, Greek mythology goes just a bit further than conventional monsters, in that examples of mythical monsters like those found in Homer's The Iliad clearly speak to a preponderance of human imperfections to which the author attributes some of literature's most memorable beasts. Tracing Odysseus' evolution and fundamental importance through Homer's The Odyssey provides the student with a significantly better understanding of mortal limitations, truth, honesty and the desire to achieve and uphold one's righteousness, which are clearly illustrated through characterization of mythical monsters.

7 pages in length. The utilitarian system is an entity comprised of individual human beings who attest to provide protection for the masses. This may be true in theory but the truth of the matter is that a small percentage has gained far too much influence over people's lives in their ongoing quest for civil harmony. At issue is whether or not utilitarianism has a place in the framework of global civilization and if it does, to what extent is this association deemed beneficial or disadvantageous. The writer discusses how utilitarianism claims to work for the benefit of the greater good, however, it fails to take into account the consideration of the lesser numbers, who continue to represent yet another group whose interests are routinely ignored.

6 pages in length. According to Machiavelli, a successful and powerful government balances its strengths by offsetting differing interests, while always taking into account public good. Additionally, a president who is worth his salt makes exceptional use of the political climate, much like Harry Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower did during their presidencies. Equally important as the removal of morality from politics was the elimination of religion, as well. This theory, which is still valiantly fought for today, became a basic tenet of democracy epitomized in the U.S. Constitution. Eighteenth century enlightenment philosopher Voltaire also criticized the coupling of church and state, saying it was not supported by any means of logic. It can be argued that solely because of Machiavelli's efforts that the church was encouraged to loosen its power over society. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

5 pages in length. As we explore the impact of Ernest Hemingway's "Soldier's Home" upon the literary world, it is important to take into account the critical impressions associated with the story in order to gain a significantly better understanding of just how intricately related Harold Krebs' problems were truly associated with his ultimate return from war. Our initial impression is that he has been cheated out of the chance to revel in the glory of being a war veteran, inasmuch as he returns home months and months after the initial veterans without anything new to say that the others have not already talked about ad nauseum. This disinterested reaction he receives from the townspeople – his parents included – compels Krebs to fabricate nearly his entire existence in order to get through what he calls a life of complications. Written in first person. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

5 pages in length. Some have heralded the acceleration of Information Technology (IT) as a significant advancement in both business communication and overall commerce relations. With the advent of information systems projects and a whole host of other IT-related components, it has been suggested that a reinventing of government policy is in order -- at least to some extent -- on account of these technological advancements. Applying this logic to the reformation of the Internal Revenue Service, the student will want to discuss the ability for better and more effective communication, speedier service and the capacity to provide a friendlier approach to rectifying IRS concerns.

5 pages in length. Ted Bundy may truly have been the slickest of all killers. He taught FBI officials more about the inner workings of a serial killer than any other of his kind; Bundy would regularly counsel agents on the correct places to look for other murderers who followed his method of operation. Time and time again, he correctly predicted where the killers would resurface, which most often was one of the original crime scenes to relive the experience and look for token souvenirs. When the student examines the sociological aspects of Bundy's persona, it is with relative ease that his deviant behavior can be applied to the theory of differential association based upon Stephen G. Michaud's account in The Only Living Witness : The True Story of Serial Sex Killer Ted Bundy. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
