Downsizing's Effects on its Affected Households
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper. Even though two-income families can make the downsizing transition much easier than those without a significant second income, there are still substantial issues they will have to overcome. Some end up working in distant cities and conducting long-distance marriages; many more finally take jobs at an income far below their former one. Homes have been lost, retirement funds have been decimated to meet living expenses, and some have even taken to living on credit card cash advances for their immediate needs when they saw no alternative. Downsizing and layoffs all affect specific households, but not all those effects are "bad" ones. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Drug Testing
[ send me this paper ]
The essence of community is a trust among the citizens and a willingness to abide by the rules of governance. The issue of drug testing raises a myriad of questions concerning the right to privacy and autonomy by the individual in opposition to the good of the social order. This 5 page paper argues that the issue of drug testing goes beyond the consequences of a positive result: it undermines the very concept of community and the essence of the Constitution. The social ramifications, such as discriminatory policy, cost effectiveness, false results and, or, safety and health are minor compared with the philosophical ramifications.

Dual Citizenship
[ send me this paper ]

That attitude has been changing in the last half of the past century. Each side of the debate has been clearly stated without effecting changes.

Dual Identity: African and American in the Early Twentieth Century
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages. A critical analysis of the African American plight in the early twentieth century shows us of the duality of consciousness in which these people strove to make as one.

The American ideologies did not apply to these dual-identitied people and as such one might find that this has oftentimes proven to be the case even today. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
