Altemeyer/The Authoritarian Specter
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page book review that analyzes and summarizes Bob Altemeyer's The Authoritarian Specter (1996), which is a scholarly, highly-researched and very disturbing book that should be required reading for every American--or North American. Altemeyer's research--which is empirical in nature and detailed extensively in the text-- suggests that there is a tendency in human nature toward acceptance and endorsement of authoritarianism. The writer discusses how this tendency would affect legislative bodies, but also offers a general overview of this extremely important book, which is cautionary in regards to the rise of fascism within society. No additional sources cited.

Altering Medicare’s Effect on Health Care
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper discussing the history, economic effect, regulations and future of Medicare. There is intense and ongoing debate about the future of Medicare, the need for reform and the shape that such reform should take. As politicians haggle over private interests and noble ideals that no one can afford, Medicare’s influence on health care increasingly affects microeconomic choices of households and businesses, as well as the larger national economy. There is no question that Medicare must become more flexible. Its micro- and macroeconomic effect is detrimental to the health care industry, to the national economy and to individuals seeking health care services. The paper suggests that Medicare allow the private sector to drive reform of the system. Includes an outline. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Amending the Freedom of Information Act
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the
Ford-Firestone case and suggesting amendment to the Freedom of Information Act. A suitable
amendment to the FoIA would be one requiring companies to provide information more open to
categorization according to product type. All SEC records are fully accessible to the public, but
in today's merger-oriented world it is often difficult to determine what company produces what
product. Categorization of information may have returned Firestone's name on Ford Explorer
searches, leading regulatory agencies to Firestone's corporate door perhaps before there had been
any deaths. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

America The Melting Pot, France The Democratic Republic: How Have These Models Fared?
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The United States is often referred to as a country based upon an integrationist or melting pot model of incorporation and belonging, while France is
considered to be based upon a republican or assimilationist model. The manner by which these models compare and contrast brings to light how attitudes have changed throughout the twentieth century. One might readily surmise that these classifications were once based upon the notion
of equity for all; however, while the validity of these classification may have at one time held some modicum of social importance, both countries have ultimately deviated from their respective models in relation to policies toward immigrants and citizenship. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

was attacked by terrorists, resulting in the loss of thousands of
lives and untold millions of dollars in devastation. Hardest hit

who perpetrated such an attack on the United States, and what
were their reasons for doing so? The United States is in the
course of discovering the answers to these questions which this
paper will address. This paper also considers what actions
should be taken, if any, by the United States in light of these
horrific events, and what the citizens of the United States feel
should be done. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

America's Democratic History
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The scope of democracy reaches far and wide with regard to its interpretation; while the nation's founders set forth a clear and highly transparent definition, the democratic concept has undergone an ongoing revision of meaning wholly dependent upon the objectives of specific agendas. Reining in these misconstrued undertones is as simple as revisiting some of the most fundamental documents that illustrate the foundation of what democracy truly means: the Declaration of Independence, President Bush's second inaugural address and the Port Huron Statement of the Students for a Democratic Society. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Bibliography lists 5 sources.

America's Social Security System: President Bush And The Stock Market
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. It is difficult to ignore the tremendous financial trouble that plagues the United States Social Security system, with the primary problems being America's current number of retirees and the fact that the Social Security trust fund has not been properly invested in the past. If no such problems existed, President Bush would not be suggesting that part of social security payments go to the stock market as a means by which to help bail out the failing program. What are the issues for and against such a change? The potential benefits and the potential costs? Clearly, when one assesses these aspects of the president's plan, one must examine the long-term gains and losses of such a proposition. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

American Liberalism
[ send me this paper ]
25 pages in length. The origins and basics of traditional American liberalism gave direct rise to the ideals and concepts of individual political freedom and its intimate connection with economic freedom. However, this rebirth also led to a suffocating individualism that ultimately overshadowed the very reason liberalism had been embraced in the first place. The spirit of liberalism holds at its heart the development of individual freedom. The writer discusses that as the concepts of freedom change throughout history, so too do the concepts of liberalism. Bibliography lists 24 sources.

American Military Retaliation For Terrorism
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Political analysts have effectively addressed the idea of force as the primary element of war; inasmuch as force is the primary vehicle for political terrorists, it stands to reason that if the element of force did not exist, there would be no motivation for battle. With this in mind, it is relatively easy to apply this concept to the notion of terrorism and the manner by which the United States responds to such acts, since the ultimate goal of any terrorist is to obtain the desired commodity through drastic and often deadly means of force. This, then, justifies any and all retaliation that the United States may take in order to uphold national honor and global power. By understanding this obvious correlation, the student can effectively argue that President Clinton's decision to bomb Sudan and Afghanistan in 1998 was part and parcel to America's ongoing effort to quell the perpetuating terrorist activities. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
