Vehicular Pursuits
INTRODUCTION
It is tempting to believe that a lot has changed since the Rodney
King case. In that highly televised case, police in Los Angeles stopped
Mr. King after a high-speed car chase on March 3, 1991. In that case, the
chase did not cause the problem; the actions of the officers, taped by a
citizen after they got King out of his car, caused the problem. Still, the
incident might be regarded as a poster child for the liability that can
accrue to police departments, in terms of civil and even criminal
liability, expense and community ill will when dramatic enforcement
maneuvers, such as a high speed chase, are involved in police work.
In the aftermath of the King case, G. Patrick Gallagher, director of
the Inst
| 2022 | Conflict Theory
In order to best explain conflict theory and functionalism in a
sociological context, I have chosen world trade as the topic, mainly the
way developing and poorer countries and developed economies evolve and act
in the world trade arena.
Conflict theory seems perhaps better suited to explain the
contradictions in world trade and, even more profound, the differences that
normally appear between developed and developing countries, especially in
World Trade Organizations Ministerial Conferences, but also in general
trade relations.
The tools and general trends that world trade operates with are
liberalization and protectionism (protective measures). High import taxes
and subsidies are among the most common protective measures and these have
the role of protecting national produ
| 1346 | Early Childhood Attachment and Later Life Development
Early childhood is the most critical time for forming bonds with
parents and caregivers. It is for this reason that the way a child is
treated early in life can affect the way that he or she develops later in
life. Many parents do not realize this when they send their children off
to daycare or make other arrangements for childcare, but it is so
significant that it must be considered. This paper will discuss this issue
of early childhood attachment and how it affects later life development,
and the researcher hypothesizes that children who spend more time bonding
with their parents when they are very young will grow up to have closer
attachments and better emotional stability in later life.
Children that had a close
| 1157 | Education: The Problems With Teaching Math
Why Johnny can't add-problems and solutions in both the American and Latin
American mathematics education systems
It might be assumed that mathematics education in El Salvador and in El
Paso would be similar, unlike language instruction or instruction in
history. After all, math is math, no matter if it is taught in English or
Spanish, correct, especially at the relatively rudimentary elementary
school level. Indeed, two professors who visited Latin America observed,
some of "the problems teaching mathematics" faced by elementary school
educators were "remarkably like our own," that is remarkably like the
problems faced by American educators. (Friesen, S. & Stone, M., 1996)
However, the systems used to teach mathematics in both nations were often
profoundly differe
| 1100 | The Male and Female Characters Explored in Kate Chopins At the Cadian Ball
Kate Chopin has always been known for her colorful and passionate
characters. Many of her stories revolve around men behaving foolishly in
the name of love and women behaving quite sensibly while in love. Such is
the case with the characters in the short story, "At the 'Cadian Ball."
While the men in this story are depicted as foolish in love and the women
are strong and independent when it comes to love, we get the impression
that these characteristics are not the ideal. This contrast allows Chopin
to illustrate perceptions of men and women of her time.
Calixta represents a sexual, independent woman in the story. For
Bobinot, she is also symbol of passion and danger. We are told, "There had
even been a breath of scanda
| 882 | Why was the Revolution of 1958 Inevitable
Cuba. This island is known everywhere in the world. Everybody knows
such names as Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. Also Cuba is associated with
Caribbean crisis, which had frightened both the U.S.A. and USSR. That's all
that common person knows about this land and nation famous for specific
culture and interesting history (especially of the 20th century). Cuba has
always been a region of American interests in the Caribbean Sea and its 45-
year resistance against capitalism (in fact - American politics) impresses
everyone, even person hostile to Cuban regime.
Cuban influence on worlds politics during the Cold War and nowadays is
important and worth paying attention to. Cuba is still one of the last
Communist countries of t
| 2790 | Camus The Stranger: Summary and Outlines Some of the Main Themes
Albert Camus' influential novel, The Stranger, a great work of
existentialism, examines the absurdity of life and indifference of the
world. This paper provides a summary of the novel, and outlines some of
the novel's main themes.
The novel's protagonist, Meursault, is a distanced and indifferent
young man. He does not believe in God, and lives his life with seemingly
sensuous abandon. After Meursault is caught up in the life of a local
pimp, he rather inexplicably murders a young man on the beach, and is put
on trial. In a ridiculous and seemingly arbitrary trial, he is essentially
tried and found guilty for failing to adhere to society's beliefs and
morals. It is during this trial that Meursault comes to terms with the
absurdity of life.
The Stranger begins with the news tha
| 1035 | Working With The Aging
Ladies and gentlemen, I stand here before you at a time in which the health
care of older Americans has become a critical issue. Or should I say
issues' We have more people needing more and more specialized care - this
is critical. We have fewer and fewer people being asked to do more and more
- that is critical. Current healthcare policy, especially for the aging,
seems inadequate to address the challenges of what lies ahead. The
situation seems very bleak at times. All signs seem to show that it will
get bleaker. Well, I am here to tell you that I am the weatherman. I have
weathered this storm with you. And I can tell you that the forecast looks
good, if we can just keep our eyes on what is important and understand
| 2463 | Analysis of Matthew Arnold's Dover Beach
The declining and fragile state of the world is the central focus of
"Dover Beach." The poem, written by Matthew Arnold, is from the Victorian
era. The poet focuses on the theme of man's declining condition during
this era by emphasizing the weakening state of religion and, as a result,
places hope in our love for one another.
The structure of the poem is central to its meaning. Man's declining
state is expressed through what appears to be with reality. Critic John
Fain states that the theme of the poem is the "terrible incompatibility
between illusion and reality" (Fain 41) and the poet's "visual imagery to
express illusion and auditory imagery to express reality" (41) supports
this theme. Fain observes that the poem be
| 898 | Elements of God
A number of elements of God can be seen in the three battles
mentioned. Most evident is the fact that, as the Israelites are fighting a
Holy War, God is the most important part of each battle. God is also shown
by the selected passages as both omnipotent and all-powerful, as the giver
and taker of victory and of life.
When choosing victory for his people, God expects their loyalty in
return. This loyalty is based upon displ
| 359 | Of Mice and Men: Reflects the Bond of Friendship Between George and Lennie
"Of Mice and Men" is an excellent short novel by John Steinbeck which
reflects the extraordinary bond of friendship that exists between George
and Lennie, two migrant workers and physically contrasting personalities.
This short novel gives a vivid account of the dangers that are in store for
an innocent man like Lennie. Lennie has mild mental derangement which makes
him vulnerable in the society and he depends on the constant guidance and
protection of George. As a truly committed friend, George takes care of
Lennie even though he feels life would have been much easier without this
burden. He lies to his boss that Lennie is his cousin and tries to shield
him as much as possible from the dangers of the world. Together they sha
| 763 | The Iraq War and Globalism
Several theories have been advanced by political commentators around
the world about the real reasons behind the United States' war with Iraq.
These include the Bush administration's "official" version[1] about
preventing the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" (WMDs) from falling into the
terrorists' hands, the supposed connection between Saddam and Al-Qaeda,
liberation of Iraq from the clutches of a cruel tyrant, and the neo-
conservative agenda of creating a "model democracy" in Iraq for the Arab
world to follow. Although some of these reasons may be valid to an extent,
the more plausible explanation for the US war in Iraq lies in the
imperatives of globalization. This is because economics have always been

| 1728 | Analysis in Computer Programming
The occupation of computer programmer reflects a number of
traditional components of society in the United States. Demographically,
the profession is largely made up of while males in their late thirties.
As such, the profession reflects stratification by race, class, and gender.
However, recent changes in the profession, such as outsourcing of
programming jobs to India, threaten this perception. At the same time, the
degree of publicity such outsourcing has received (when compared to
attention paid to job losses incurred by Black Americans) continues to
reflect the race stratification in American society.
A computer programmer, by definition, is an individual who creates
programs that allow computers to perform s

This report is an analysis of my organization's database structure and
includes the database applications we use. I have been employed in the
insurance industry for the past few years so I have seen how database
technology has greatly sped up the industry's ability to provide services

| 649 | Martin Luther's Life
Martin Luther is responsible for the birth of the Protestant
Reformation with the publication of his Ninety-Five Theses on October 31,
1517 in which he attacked the Church's sale of indulgences (Martin pp).
Luther advocated a theology that rested on God's gracious activity in Jesus
Christ, rather than in human works (Martin pp). The majority of all
Protestants trace their history beck to Martin Luther in one way or another
(Martin pp).
Luther once wrote:
"Who would ever have divined that I would become
a bachelor and then a master of arts, then lay aside
my brown student's cap and leave it to others in order
to become a monk, thereby of course earning for myself
| 2498 | Benjamin Franklins Success Model Life and Times in the Autobiography
Philosopher, scientist, and framer of the US Constitution: these are
just few of the occupations Benjamin Franklin had been involved with
throughout his life. In his memoir entitled, "Autobiography," Franklin
talks about his life successfully assuming positions and occupations that
had benefited American society. Interspersed with the narrative accounts
of his life, the great proponent of the Enlightenment period also infused
insightful thoughts about his philosophy of life and his optimistic view of
humanity's goodness and potential to achieve perfection.
One of the interesting points of "Autobiography" is his proposed
model for success in life, wherein he enumerated thirteen (13) virtues in
the life of man, which s

Metallica, a heavy metal band, was established in 1981 with original
members James Hetfield on vocals and guitar, Dave Mustaine on guitar, Lars
Ulrich on drums, and Cliff Burton on bass. Kirk Hammett replaced Dave
Mustaine in 1983 and Jason Newsted eventually replaced Burton. The band's
sound is described as a combination of the "new wave of British heavy metal
with the speed and raw sound of MotA¶rhead" (Walser). In the 1980s,
Metallica pioneered the "speed metal" (Walser) movement, which gained the
band popularity as an "alternative to more pop-oriented styles of metal"
(Walser). Their album, "Master of Puppets," released in 1986, earned them
the recognition of being one of the most influential hard-rock bands of
their tim

The Renaissance period marked important changes in humanist thinking
in Europe. Renaissance marked the transition of Western civilization from
medieval to modern times. During the 16th century, two important schools
of thought were established that greatly influenced many literary works
during this period. One of this is the skepticism, and the other, the rise

| 309 | Differences Between Leadership and Management
The differences between Management and Leaders are often
difficult to discern. People often possess both leadership and management
traits, as many people in everyday circumstances use management skills,
leadership skills, and a combination of both. However, there are subtle
differences through which we can differentiate between management and
leadership. At the same time, however, not all good managers are
necessarily good leaders and not all good leaders are good managers. The
qualities, skill sets and personalities that make a good leaders are often
little different for a manager. For example, leader should be able to lead
people, while managers must be detail oriented so that they can make good

| 1393 | Evaluation of Supply and Demand Consumers Use of Mobile Telephony
The article "Consumers' Use of Mobile Telephony' created in August of
2003 and published October 27 of 2003 discusses changes in the supply,
demand and pricing of cell phones within Europe, particularly the UK. Cell
phones or "mobile telephony" as the article and research study refers to
them, are becoming increasingly more demanded as technology changes and
enhances their capability and functioning. The patterns of supply and
demand for mobile telephones within the UK market has shifted slightly
however, as changes in supply have been realized over time.
The article provides an overview of the consumer behavior patterns
within the mobile cell phone market taken from a consumer survey conducted
in August of 2003. The results of this survey show that more than 73% of
homes use a mobile phone and at least 85% of households at minimum have a
mobile phone (Oftel, 2003). In addition the
| 881 | Stalinism A Continuation of Leninism
Vladimir Lenin was a Russian revolutionary leader and theorist, who ruled
the first government of Soviet Russia and then the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics (USSR) (Encarta, 2004). Lenin was the leader of the
radical socialist Bolshevik Party (later renamed the Communist Party),
which seized power in the October phase of the Russian Revolution of 1917.
After the revolution, Lenin created and led the new Soviet government that
formed in Russia. He became the leader of the USSR when it was created in
1922. He ruled with terror, and his actions included establishing the
secret police to root out opponents of the Bolsheviks. Lenin held the
highest post in the Soviet government until his death in 1924, when Joseph
Stalin gained pow
| 1756 | Exploring Hamlets Acting Abilities
Hamlet's encounter with the players gives us an indication of how
serious he is about the play. It is much more than a show for him. He
believes that drama can expose certain realities of life. In this case,
Hamlet is looking at Claudius for any hints of guilt for killing Hamlet's
father. He is hoping that by watching Claudius' reaction to the play, he
can finally know the truth one way or another. In addition, Hamlet also
thinks that drama reflects mankind. Earlier in the play, he tells the
player that the purpose of acting, "was and is to hold, as it 'twere, the
mirror up to nature, to show virtue her (own) feature, scorn her own image,
and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure"
| 580 | Legal Searches and the Fourth Amendment
As a response to the intrusive presence of the British forces of
occupation before the American Revolution, the framers of the United States
Constitution took care to be sure that any indigenous government would be
permanently enjoined from imposing itself in unwarranted ways on the
citizenry. "Using a Writ of Assistance, British customs officials were
able to enter any home and search the premises for evidence of customs
violations" (Robinson, 2004) in the years before the Revolution. The
protective amendment to the Constitution written by the colonists has been
a linchpin of the personal freedom Americans have enjoyed ever since. That
protection was embodied in the Fourth Amendment, commonly referred to as
the 'search a

A culture's belief about the beginning of the world is called a creation
myth, story or tale. An explanation of the origin of the universe is known
as a cosmogony. It is difficult to find any people throughout the world who
do not have some explanation for the source of life. One of the most
interesting aspects of creation mythology is the similarities that exist
among descriptions, whether they are from the Judeo/Christian Bible or from
African, Native American, South American, Greek, Japanese or Australian
cultures. Common themes are present in both the West and East. From the
earliest humans, who painted on the walls of their cave, there has been a
need to search for answers and explain the unknown. A number of researchers

| 1778 | Ruth The Evil Convert
The book of Ruth is relatively unique in the Bible, or so it appears,
because it alone of all the Old Testament books encourages racial harmony,
intermarriage, and the production of half-breed children. Of course, Ruth
is a convert to Judaism and is often among Jewish scholars presented as a
perfect example of a proselytized individual. Despite this, she is still
special among the Old Testament heros (or heroines) because she is
presented both as a foreigner and as a righteous woman. Even Rahab, that
famous prostitute from Jericho whose actions saved Joshua and allowed him
to lead his people to destroy her city (killing every man, woman, and
little child with the exception of her family), is not presented as being
truly admi
