Abstract
This paper discusses how a dental student who is treating patients after hours without a license and without direct faculty supervision violates the principles of patient autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, justice, and veracity. This paper first briefly reviews the salient points of the case in question. An analysis of the actions taken is compared to alternative options that may or may not have been considered at the time. A discussion of the ethical considerations in line with the perspectives of peers and the professional organization follows, as well as a discussion of the ethical perspective and the alternative actions that should have been taken.
Outline:
Case Review
Ethical Considerations
Alternative Actions
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Another salient point that must be considered is the backdrop within which these incidences occurred. The student has admitted and is documented as per student evaluation, that he has exhibited prior deficiencies in time management and substandard preparation for clinic sessions. It has not been documented sufficiently that the student sought specific opportunities through his mentors to more efficiently help correct the cause of these deficiencies, whether a deficit in clinical knowledge, proficiency or otherwise (ADA, 2006)."

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of IKEA's struggle with suppliers to prevent child labor. The first child labor accusations directed at IKEA came in 1994, however, although IKEA has designed a code of conduct, internal controls, and third-party audits as a way to abolish child labor in its supply chain, this paper states that IKEA's suppliers are still employing child workers. Specifically, the paper discusses Venkat Industries' recent failed audit in which it violated occupational safety measures, mandated overtime, and was using child labor. Furthermore, the paper asserts that Kaisa Mattson, the head of compliance in south Asia, is faced with the decision as to whether or not to terminate Venkat Industries. Either decision carries new issues for IKEA involving its profitability, reputation, and whether it should continue its efforts to manage child labor, which this paper also goes on to discuss.
Outline:
Economic Factors
Non Economic Factors
Alternatives
Recommendations
From the Paper
"IKEA also faces the dilemma that its code of conduct clearly states that child labor will not be tolerated. Other suppliers have been terminated for substantiated cases of child labor in the past, and being more lenient with Venkat shows that the IWAY Code of Conduct doesn't apply for every company. Terminating the working relationship with Venkat Industries gives a strong message to IKEA's other suppliers: if it will terminate a major supplier on grounds of child labor, no companies are safe.
"IKEA has an internal standard it must uphold to sustain its reputation with employees and suppliers. Job 9 and the IWAY have been clearly described to employees and suppliers. These are objectives the company with which needs to remain consistent. Still, the education of employees and the public is also needed to ensure they understand IKEA's strong hand in eliminating child labor. The IWAY has led IKEA towards its current involvement in the fight against child labor, which therefore puts IKEA in a position to terminate Venkat Industries."

Abstract
The paper discusses Princess Diana's background, her marriage to Prince Charles, her divorce and finally, the accident that led to her death. The paper depicts the enormous media coverage of her life for all to see and some to exploit. The paper highlights the irony that although the media was responsible for her public popularity, the media was also blamed for playing a part in her death and exploiting her subsequent funeral.
Outline:
Introduction
Diana's Life and the Accident that Lead to Her Death
News Coverage of the Accident and Funeral
Documentary Television Programs
Television Shows and News-magazines
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Princess Diana was born Diana Spencer on July 1, 1961, to a mother and father who were royal heirs. When she was born, they expressed disappointment as they had wished she had been a boy. They subsequently divorced, however, Diana's childhood was filled with royal playmates and expensive boarding schools, yet she never obtained a university education (Taylor, 2000, p. 45). Ultimately, this was not an important factor, because her contact with the royal family, specifically Prince Charles would determine her life's course."

Nursing Leadership Analysis, 2008.
An analysis of the nurse leader's role in the nursing profession.
1,496 words (approx. 6.0 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 49.95

Abstract
This paper examines how nurses, as leaders of their profession, are responsible for shaping the future of the nursing profession as a whole in accordance with societal needs and in conformity with law. The paper explains that as time passes and the professional identity of nursing and leaders becomes more prominent, especially in the face of sweeping health care changes, the issues pertaining to role development and goal-setting will eventually be addressed adequately. The paper then looks at how, in practice, it is the nurses who play a large part in formulating and implementing patient care plans, evaluating their outcomes and continuously improving the quality of care. The paper concludes that the nurse leader's expanded role as researcher, planner, policy-maker, educator, leader and collaborator testify to the greater ethical responsibilities nurses share towards patients, colleagues and the populations they affect through their decisions.
Outline:
Introduction
Impact of Formal and Informal Power within the Organization
Personal Leadership Style
Leadership Challenges
Leadership Analysis
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The impact of formal power within this organization is unique in that a military component is prominent. Informal power, on the other hand, is less prominent. As a formal power structure, the military hierarchy is prominent but not as rigid as in combat (line) settings in that seniority (i.e. rank) can override decisions irrespective of health profession affiliation. Nonetheless, the military hierarchy is still respected. While this is usually not the case with respect to clinical decisions (as expert power is still respected between disciplines), administrative decision making is different. Regardless of the assignment duration of senior ranking officers, their decisions are followed."

Dating and Nonverbal Communication, 2008.

Abstract
This paper reports that nonverbal communication is an important part of a dating relationship, in both nonsexual relationships and in the initiation of sexual behavior within relationships. The paper goes on to assert that, prior to escalating a relationship from a purely dating one, to one of a sexual nature, relationships must be assessed thoroughly, combining both verbal and nonverbal communication cues, for an optimum outcome.
From the Paper
"A positive sexual relationship between couples stems from successful communication regarding sexual and nonsexual preferences when intimate. In 1999, a study was conducted using men and women who were in dating relationships, but not dating each other. They were interviewed regarding sexual preferences and communication of their likes and dislikes. The research indicated that individuals are much more communicative about their sexual preferences when they are in a relationship in which communication was encouraged, not only about sex, but also about all aspects of the dating relationship. It was also determined that couples who have a nonverbal agreement and understanding about sex can be more effective and preferred over open discussion about sexual likes and dislikes."

Race and My Community: The Case of Brooklyn, New York, 2008.
A discussion on race relations in the Brooklyn suburb of New York.
1,560 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 51.95

Abstract
The paper investigates racism with specific reference to the Brooklyn suburb of New York and taking into account the population groups and the manner in which civic leaders react to the African-American race groups. The paper looks at how the media portrays this racial group and finally the writer sets forth suggestions as to how the situation can be improved.
From the Paper
"Naturally, any commentary on how African-Americans in Brooklyn are perceived leads inevitably to the question of how they portrayed by the local media. I was unable to find local statistics that revealed the number of African-Americans working in management or high-profile positions on local television, but I would have to concur with Kanye West's criticisms in the past that African-Americans are shown in a generally negative light by the media (Gold & Collins, 2005); specifically, there is a predisposition among many in the media to downplay white offenses (like stealing) while failing to do the same for African-Americans. For my part, I have often looked at the local news and puzzled over the fact that so many of the criminals shown on television are African-American - even though I know full-well that Caucasians and Asians are hardly uninvolved in criminal activity. It is this image of African-Americans - especially African-American men - as criminals that cause us to be ignored by local cabbies and passed over for job openings. "

Socialization of Immigrants, 2008.
This paper looks at personal and institutional responsibility for socialization with regards to immigration.
789 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 28.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that it is evident that history has forced most immigrants to the US to take on the responsibility of socialization individually, without support from social organizations. The writer further relates that, in the initial mass immigration that occurred during industrialization, this philosophy lead to the formation of cultural communities across the US that worked to support cultural members and the greater social order as well. The writer then points out that, as time has progressed, however, there have been millions of immigrants that have arrived in the nation, both legal and illegal, who have relied solely on these cultural communities for socialization. Ultimately this has created a separation between cultural communities and the larger social order because there has been a lack of organizational or institutional support for immigrants. The writer then asserts that it is therefore apparent that it is time for institutions and individuals to fulfill their social contract with society and assist immigrants in becoming socialized. The writer concludes that it is only through this dual effort that one society will function for the greater good, which includes fulfilling the needs of all cultural groups and prevents segregation of cultural groups from the greater social order.
From the Paper
"For example, millions of illegal immigrants are demanding that they be given their citizenship because of their extended stays within the country. This demand is supported by numerous groups within the Hispanic culture that believe that crossing the border into the United States and functioning in society without incident should be sufficient grounds for citizenship. Yet, the opposing viewpoint to this argument suggests that by offering citizenship to this population, the country is degrading the efforts of other immigrants that have followed legal pathways to becoming citizens. Clearly, the latter argument supports the intentions of society to conduct immigration through legal processes, while the initial argument supports a cultural desire that strays from the legal structure of the nation. Additionally, it should be noted that the first argument serves to separate the needs of one group from the needs of the greater society, while the second argument insists upon a universal format for immigration.
"Therefore, demanding that immigrants should be responsible for their own socialization process in which they create their own resources and opportunities is possible. However, without the support of social organizations that essentially allow for a universal understanding of American life and the American culture, individuals rely on cultural communities that support only a particular culture's way of life and not the nation."

Breyer's Active Liberty Approach, 2008.
A review of Justice Stephen Breyer's active liberty approach to interpreting the US Constitution.
1,577 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 51.95
»

Abstract
The paper discusses how US Justice Stephen Breyer takes issue with originalism as an approach to interpreting the US Constitution and advocates what he calls active liberty, which is a far more activist way of interpreting the Constitution. The paper also describes the intellectual profile of Justice Breyer in the context of his work, his life, his writing and his peers and argues that Justice Breyer's active liberty perspective is a useful one for dealing with the complex constitutional issues that arise in our dynamically evolving society.
From the Paper
"Many of the provisions of the Constitution are somewhat vague. Indeed, it is notoriously difficult to write legislation that is entirely unambiguous in all situations. This means that at times, a judge's task of interpreting and applying the law can seem more like an art than a science. Some judges favour textualism, which means that they try as hard as possible to stick to the letter of the laws as written. For example, Justice Antonin Scalia advocates "originalism," meaning that the courts should attempt to stick to the original meaning of constitutional texts (Ryan). However, other judges tend to be more activist, and have even been accused of using their position to pursue their own agenda, in effect legislating from the bench. "

Interaction between Organizational Structure and ISO 14000
Organizational Benefits of Implementing EMS
Internal Benefits Of Implementing ISO 14000
From the Paper
"Understanding and integrating the organizational structure with the company objectives concerning environmental issues is the key to effective management; the role of the EMS and the aims is the best example of how pivotal environmental issues and the operations of a firm are. This paper has tried to explore the idea behind ISO 14000, and how organizations can achieve it. The issues presented, highlight the fact an EMS has to be formally integrated within the strategic plans of the organization a culture that embraces these plans and finding innovative ways of motivating and communicating objectives to employees and other stakeholders which will not negate the appropriate organizational structure."

Abstract
This paper identifies the necessary economic model that explains and analyzes the U.S. automotive industry. The paper focuses on the long-run and short-run profit maximization point, elasticity measures and how changes in price affect total revenue. The paper then explains the demand equation within the US automotive industry. The paper points out that it is clear that the US automotive industry is expansive and economic theory can be applied to the market to understand, demand, supply, profit maximization, and elasticity of demand. In conclusion, the paper shows that after a comprehensive analysis of this industry, a very comprehensive understanding of the factors that affect demand within the automotive industry via a multivariate framework is seen.
Outline:
Market Structure for the US Automotive Industry
Demand Function: US Automotive Industry
Macroeconomic Variables And the US Automotive Industry
Understanding Price Elasticity in the US Automotive Industry
Profit Maximizing Output and Price within the US Automotive Industry
From the Paper
"The law of demand states that as price increases, the quantity demanded increases, and the converse holds true. Therefore as the price of Toyotas increase, there is the expectation that the quantity demanded for Toyotas will decrease, while as the price of Toyotas decrease, then the quantity demanded increases (same for the GM model). If this model was estimated, based on the law of demand, b1 should be negative."

Police Discretion Position, 2008.
A discussion of the appropriate use of discretion in police work.
1,692 words (approx. 6.8 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 54.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the controversy that has arisen over the use of police discretion and discusses several of the myths that have come to be connected with it. The paper also explains that, since full enforcement of all the laws is not possible, and since not every scenario is covered by the law, police discretion continues to be a necessity. The author concludes that a more open agency policy will foster a trustworthy relationship with the public which will enable police officers to use discretion without fear of reprisal, civil liability or corruption.
From the Paper
"Police work encompasses what other professions do not, in that there are few uncontroversial areas within its realm. Professionalism, thus, comes at a cost to police officers because the public seems unwilling to trust them informally; instead, the public seems to want strict, formal accountability mechanisms in place. Simply put, society at times, desires loose enforcement, at other times, strict enforcement. "

Criminal Liability and Defenses, 2008.
A discussion on criminal liability cases and the noted defenses to each.
3,098 words (approx. 12.4 pages), 20 sources, APA, $ 90.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper begins with an overview of how criminal liability is measured in terms of the degrees and principles surrounding liability. The crux of the paper, however, concentrates on aspects of the legal framework that provide defenses to criminal liability. This analysis is then supported with a theoretical framework and findings from the literature that are used to provide thorough analyses related to defenses to criminal liability.
Outline:
Introduction
Legal Framework of Criminal Liability
Strict Liability and the Defense
Justification of Criminal Conduct
Criminal Liability
Defense
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The criminal liability relationship highlighted within the paper and later presented with examples for defenses to criminal liability is affected by differences related to types of crimes; such as, criminal conduct and true crimes. That is, the degree of liability within the former does not require all of the principles to be upheld while with the latter it is necessary that the corpus delicti rule holds. As such the measures of criminal liability are different across categories and may not be easily quantified in the relationship outlined in the equation specified throughout the paper. An example of the former is a burglary while of the latter its homicide, the difference within these two crimes is a clear indication of why criminal liability is not a trivial issue and why it is not always a direct relationship and how defenses can be formulated within the legal context (Schellenger & Wittmer, 2003, p. 1).
In the general scenario, the degree of liability can be easily established via culpability, capacity, and responsibility along with the five principles highlighted, however the logical structure of criminal liability is not as simple as the formula above highlights but has different scenarios and principles that will affect how the law is quantified or how the degree of criminal liability is measured."
