Human Diversity in the Science of Psychology
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length.
Human diversity is a key issue in the science of Psychology.
There are many ways in which knowledge of human diversity
contributes to our understanding of behavior and mental
processes. For instance, in the case of different cultures, we
know that while what may be considered a normal activity in one
culture might be considered an anti-social act in others. It is
this knowledge that people in all aspects of life have different
cultural and personal social behaviors that makes the study of
Psychology one of a constantly changing and interesting field of
study. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Human Rights And The Use Of International Legal Institutions
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. The struggle to impose universal human rights through international legal institutions continues to be a difficult objective to obtain. While much of the global community extends the aspect of rights to incorporate all class, race and gender, others are not as socially or culturally evolved even now in the twenty-first century to have reached the point where everyone is afforded the same level of civil liberties that are inherent to no other prerequisite than simply being born. Islam is an example of how traditional cultural/religious beliefs have failed to progress with the growing understanding of - and subsequent change toward - a more equitable distribution of rights. Power and coercion are two very powerful elements within the subtext of gender inequality. Based upon a foundation of social subordination and social order, gender division has long been - and continues to be - a result of strategic construct that flies in the face of any attempts by international legal institutions to universalize human rights. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Human Trafficking – Women
[ send me this paper ]
A 48 page paper presenting a comprehensive overview of human trafficking, particularly of women for the purpose of sexual exploitation. The introduction provides a general overview and insight into the extent of this crime. Human trafficking is reported to be the third most profitable illegal business in the world. The second section of the paper offers a feminist perspective on trafficking of women and girls into prostitution. Data include numbers from many different regions in the world. Estimates run as high as 2 million women and girls trafficked every year. Data support the premise that human trafficking is a gendered business, a backlash against feminism, according to one well-known author. The impact of globalization on sex trafficking is then explored. Countries are categorized as origin points, transition points or destination points. The classifications of numerous countries are reported, some of which fit into all three categories. International and national laws and agreements regarding human trafficking and particularly sex trafficking are reported in the next section. Two case studies are then reported: Ukraine and the Philippines. A summary and conclusions end the essay. Bibliography lists 50 sources.

Human Values: Importance, Rank and Roles
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing different human values and their importance in terms of individuals’ roles. The importance of different human values differs a great deal depending on the role of an individual and the priority given to values in relation to that role. Richard Wallis has defined a set of “five stem values” of right conduct, peace, truth, love and non-violence. Within each of the five stem values are additional sub-values which are also considered depending upon the role of an individual. Most individuals are family members and citizens and must therefore realize that the responsible values for such roles depend on their right conduct in addition to the value of love within a family situation. Employees and students however may feel that different values are more important in these roles in which case right conduct, truth and non-violence will lead not only to a reliable and dedicated worker but one who is aware of the respect for others within their working and school environments. The role of a friend differs again in regards to the most important values. Like family members, friends value love but they also value right conduct, truth, peace and non-violence in addition to care, consideration and generosity. Clearly, the voluntary role of a friend is one of the most important with one of the most comprehensive aspects of human value.

Hunger In Philadelphia: Children And Related Health Issues
[ send me this paper ]
19 pages in length. Hunger is not a new social ill; rather, the quest for – and often short supply of – food has caused entire populations to perish, compelled otherwise upstanding citizens to steal and continues to be responsible for the suffering of untold numbers of people in contemporary society. While much of the Western world has socially, politically and economically progressed by way of industrialism and the technological revolution, a certain segment of the population has failed to reap any benefit from such evolution, still facing each day without the barest nutritional necessities to sustain its meager existence in an otherwise thriving society. Philadelphia mirrors much the same hunger issues as other American cities, however, the primary component of age sets this metropolitan area apart from its national counterparts and reflects the vicious cycle that perpetuates childhood hunger. Bibliography lists 16 sources.

Hypothetical Plan For Peace: Getting Back To Nature
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Universal peace is elusive at best and wholly impossible at worst given the member diversity of the global playing field. Political analysts have effectively addressed the idea of force as the primary element of global hostilities; 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. Then what are the components that will dissolve such hostile behavior, and why have they not been subdued by the twenty-first century? Re-establishing one's connection with nature and the environment is the foremost manner by which humans can redeem themselves of centuries' worth of violence toward each other. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Identity as an Aspect of Material Culture and Influences of the Dominant Culture and Subcultures with Contemporary North America
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing the issues of identity and material culture. In the determination of the idea of identity within the American culture it is important to realize that there are many different factors which must be included. This paper addresses the issue of how the dominant culture and subcultures within the American society are defined through fashions, trends, norms, and beliefs and how these subcultures can be influenced by advertising, fashions, definitions of beauty, and different issues in relation to acceptance or reaction against material culture. Urban and American identity is segregated based on subcultures that are defined by various aspects including ethnicity, race, religion, region, age, gender, class and education among many other variants. Individuals within society define their identity by either an acceptance or rejection of the norms within a certain subculture or within the dominant culture. By doing so new subcultures are formed within society as can be seen over the course of history in North America which is evident in the development of changes in the social, civil, political, and fashion trends over time.

Illegal Immigration from the South
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the effects of
increased illegal immigration from Mexico and its effects on the immigrants themselves and added
strain on public services. There is no "quick fix" in sight, particularly as long as employers choose
to look past obviously forged work permits and other immigration papers during the hiring
process. The issue will need to be addressed in a meaningful manner, however, and the optimum
time is now, before the heady "new economy" begins to level off in its growth. Then, job
pressures will add to those tensions that already exist. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Images of Deviance in the Media: A Comparison of Low and High Consensus Deviance Newspaper Articles
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper comparing two newspaper articles: one which reported low consensus deviance (smoking); and one which reported high consensus deviance (murder). Two articles were found published within the last two weeks in the Toronto Star which provided a good contrast in reporting styles, intended audience, and low and high consensus deviance. One article, the low consensus deviance article on Canadian youth smoking was written by a Toronto Star reporter and provided a fairly distant, highly statistical account of a recent survey taken. The second article, the high consensus deviance article reporting a murder in California by two brothers is considered more sensational in content and was mass distributed by the Associated Press. The reason why it would be of interest in Toronto may be because of the inclusion of the television show The Sopranos as an influence on the boys’ crime.
