A 10 page position paper discussing both the advisability and legality of challenging a California hospital's exemption from state and local property tax based on questions surrounding their nonprofit activities.

Australia/United States Free Trade Agreement
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. As with myriad other countries around the world, the United States has secured a trade agreement with Australia in order to fortify a number of economic interests on both sides. The extent to which the 2003 FTA would establish a "unique opportunity to advance the interests of Australia's exporters" (Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, 2003) is both grand and far-reaching, not the least of which represents forward moving economic growth and a boost to employment. Agriculture, in particular, reflects one of the highest priorities given to any sector of commerce that had heretofore been a "significant market access barrier" (Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, 2003) prior to implementation of the United States/Australia FTA. Additional markets in line for expansion include manufacturing, services, investment, intellectual property rights, electronic and telecommunications commerce, government procurement and movement of people.

Authoritarianism
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. authoritarianism is not but a passing tendency; rather, it influences a good portion of the population in differing capacities. No matter the level of authoritarianism, it is typically associated with undesirable personality syndrome in whatever measure it exists. The authoritarian personality is typically associated with a number of repulsive traits that often cause the person to be either cast out of society or embraced by fellow authoritarians. When examining this particular human behavior, it is critical to include the inherent association to political leadership in order to gain a more significant understanding behind the issue of authoritarianism. Russia, Iran and Afghanistan represent three of the most authoritarian governments across the globe. Their collective, as well as individual, approach to civil liberties, democracy and the pursuit of individual happiness is nonexistent; rather, their focus is upon suppressive rule where people are bestowed no natural rights or ability to pursue their desires. The student will readily note that there is little – if any – difference in the manner by which these three nations assert their authoritarianism. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
