The writer also refers to the play by the same name. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

6 pages in length. Environmental degradation comes in all forms, is emitted by myriad sources, and continues to worsen with every passing year.

18 pages in length. The mental health center has come to the conclusion that simply providing low-cost care is not enough when that care has no quality attached to it because of stringent economic and staffing limitations. People have become extremely intolerant of slipshod medical attention, duplicate procedures and inaccurate diagnoses merely because the system is overloaded and completely unorganized. With the inclusion of computerization, there is now great opportunity for the Center to offer quality care within a low-cost environment. Now, on top of high caseloads and low budgets, the Center is forced to relocate its facility due to the myopic perspective of the main Clinic, a move that will bring about little if any benefit to the already financially ailing Center.

15 pages in length. The Emergency can be seen as a milestone of continuing negotiation between 'traditional' Indian ideas/institutions and the modern progressive ideals embraced by the Congress Party that remain alien to most of the Indian population. Analyzing the fundamental basis behind the Emergency, one finds that modernity in India has always been laid on society from the top, with all power solely residing with the Congress and the Nehru family. However, no matter how much power is concentrated within the central government with all their Nehruian ideals, the fact remains how real power lies between that at the center and the extraordinary stratification throughout the rest of the country, which functioned upon an entirely different basis. Under Indira Gandhi, as well as that of her father, the central government's point of view has always maintained a sense of a nation being jeopardized by its various constituents; as such, the nation-state must be defended. Clearly, there exists the entrenched idea of how the Nehru family has long upheld a lock upon the progressive change in India and, thus, must play an essential role in the defense of this nation-state.
