Abstract
Particularly in the years immediately prior to the War of Independence, the Native people of the Americas had more political power and leverage with European settlers and the colonists than they were ever to have in subsequent years. The paper shows, however, that after America formally became a nation with a European-style government, the Indian nations and intertribal struggles were in conflict with the new government. The paper briefly examines the events, reasons, and causes leading to the removal of the Indians from the East and the Indian Removal Act.
From the Paper
"The history of racism is rife with euphemisms. ?Removal? became a polite legal euphemism for what is now called ?The Trail of Tears? of the Cherokee People and the other five native tribes whom were legally and systematically denied their rights to the land their people had occupied for as long as memory, by an act of the United States Congress. The Twenty-First Congress of the United States of America passed the Indian Removal Act of 1830 on May 26, 1830. It should be noted that the act?s passage did not come easily, and only transpired after four months of strong debate."

" INTRODUCTION
American Indian life has been based on endurance, on the ability to survive and adapt. At one time, the Native American population was much larger than it is today and ruled the entire continent. The coming of Europeans also meant the beginning of a policy of extermination, a genocidal war against a people because they had a different worldview, a different religion, and were in possession of vast tracts of land whose resources the Europeans wanted to exploit. There was a fundamental difference between the way Europeans viewed the world and its relationship to the human community and the way Native Americans viewed these issues. Europeans believed God had given them dominion over nature, while Native Americans believed that humanity had links to the chain of being of living nature and were part of it instead of.."

Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World., 2008.
A Critique of Jack Weatherford's "Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World."

Abstract
The paper discusses that the term 'Indian giver' has come to be a synonym for someone who gives something, only to take it back. The paper further explains that it was the Indians who were forced to give to the Europeans--their knowledge about farming and fishing in the Americas and ultimately their land. The paper discusses that in Jack Weatherford's book, "Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World," the exchange between Europeans and Native Americans was an unequal one, with Europeans taking of the positive benefits of the New World, while the Indians were doing all of the giving. The paper concludes that unwittingly, the Indians found themselves the recipient of the evils of European civilization, like slavery, and a disrespectful attitude to the land.
From the Paper
"According to Weatherford, the early post-Columbian contact of the Europeans with the native populace actually enabled the Industrial Revolution to change Europe, and ultimately the world. "Had Europe and America not come together through Columbus or some other connection, the industrial revolution would never have happened in the way we know it," because Europeans would never have gained access to the metals of the New World, or to Indian mines (Weatherford 57). This contact also generated the money economy of Europe and fueled a shift to a European economy based upon real, hard, convertible currency. Metal-based currency also was critical in fueling industrialism and world trade. By beginning the book with tales of South American encounters with Europe, which were particularly brutal and unequal from the beginning of the Indian-European relationship, Weatherford initiates a tragic tone, explaining how enslaved South American Indians mining gold and silver in Potosi supplied the precious metals for most of the European coins that generated wealth for the Old World at the expense of the liberty of the New World."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper provides a literature overview of chest tube removal with regard to pain management. It further discusses the appropriate nursing interventions that are most applicable to chest tube removal in the light of the research data and studies that are available. It concludes, based on the literature, that there is a need to explore new avenues in addition to the present standard protocols. It also examines how these new techniques, and means of reducing pain in chest tube removal, revolve around a more inclusive and interactive approach to pain management, where aspects such as anxiety and information flow are catered to.
Outline:
Introduction
Literary Overview of the Problematics of Pain Management
Conclusion
Appendix
From the Paper
"Standard pain management techniques for chest tube removal relate to medications such as Morphine. " Morphine is one of the most often, if not routinely, used opioids for treating pain due to chest tube removal." (Puntillo and Ley, 2004) However, this is not always the most effective procedure in this situation. "...when morphine was used in small doses (ie, a mean [less than or equal to] 3 mg), pain associated with chest tube removal was rated as moderate to severe. Higher morphine doses have not been tested for their effect on such pain. " (Puntillo and Ley, 2004) Other medications include the use of Ketorolac, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and is considered to be an effective analgesic for pain due to chest tube removal.

Tattoo Removal, 2004.
An analysis of tattooing and the various methods of tattoo removal.

Abstract
This paper presents the history of tattooing. The paper describes evidence of tattooing throughout many cultures across the world. The paper explains modern-day tattooing, which is used primarily to denote gang or other group affiliations or just for body decoration. Since both these reasons are subject to changing tastes and circumstances, there has developed a demand for a reliable way to remove tattoos. These methods are explored in the paper.
From the Paper
"The history of tattooing is a long and varied one. ?A tattoo is a permanent mark or design made on the body when pigment is inserted into the dermal layer of the skin through ruptures in the skin's top layer.? (?How Tattoo Removal Works?, 2004). A more recent development in this area, however, is the issue of tattoo removal. Only recently have advances in technology made it possible to effectively remove a tattoo. The process of tattooing, which inserts ink deeply into the layers of the skin, has traditionally made it very difficult to get rid of a tattoo once it's been applied. Modern techniques for tattoo removal include; dermabrasion, salabrasion, excision (surgical removal) and laser removal. There are also less thorough methods for covering a tattoo such as scarification or tattoo modification. Currently, the most favoured method of tattoo removal is laser removal, as it leaves little scarring and is very effective, although multiple laser treatments are often required."

"Removal of the Cherokee", 2006.
This paper looks at the forcible transfer of the Cherokee people from their lands in the United States.

Abstract
This article, glancing at the book, "The Cherokee Removal", discusses the expulsion of the Cherokee people from their homeland, making way for white Americans. The writer looks at the forcible expulsion of an ethnic and cultural group from its homeland in the United States. In the above-mentioned book, the author claims that in the end, this transfer of the Cherokee people proved to be beneficial to all concerned. This paper examines the expulsion and the writer of this article argues that this forcible removal was not in fact favorable to both groups involved. The writer maintains that the "migration of the Cherokee across the Mississippi" was perhaps not in all parties' best interests.
From the Paper
"First, the differences between late 19th century United States worldviews and those of the Cherokee are examined; a grasp of the difference between these ideals is essential to understanding the differences in each group's priorities. A few of the specific factors which the quote depends on are examined, such as the attitude of President Andrew Jackson, the potential uses of the Cherokee homelands, and objections raised by white defenders of the Indians. Finally, how these ideals affected the reality of each group-how one's notion of justice, for example, influenced one's actions, is explored."

Abstract
This paper presents an examination of two slave narratives, Harriet Jacobs's "Incidents in the life of a Slave Girl" and Frederick Douglas's "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas, An American Slave". It looks at how both texts are presented from the viewpoint of the slave and how, even though they are similar in many areas, there are differences as well. It attempts to explore the differences using gender as its basis.
From the Paper
"Everything about being a slave meant that the dignity of the slave had to be hidden. If the slave showed dignity or self respect the slave was punished and if they did not hide their dignity the punishment could be severe. The self respect of a slave meant that the slave might begin to think he or she could be something. They might get the idea that they could learn to read and write and then they would start to think for themselves. This was something that the slave owners wanted to avoid at all costs therefore the dignity of a slave was subject to attack and destruction throughout the life of the slave."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Frederick G. Gardiner Expressway, known locally as "The Gardiner", which is an expressway that connects downtown Toronto to its suburbs in the west. The paper specifically discusses the economic, social and environmental effects that would exist if the expressway is dismantled according to various policy plans. The paper also looks at the reasons for the proposal, including the rejuvenation of the waterfront. The paper argues that dismantling the expressway would have negative economic, social, and environmental effects.

From the Paper
"Another negative impact that burying of the Gardiner Expressway will have is its influence on the natural ecosystems that are around and under the city of Toronto. Under the city, there are buried creeks and waterways that traverse and go out into the lake that have their origins in the Oak Ridges Moraine north of the city (The Toronto Star, 2000). The process of "dewatering" the areas where the buried Gardiner would situate would be detrimental to these buried creeks and their natural flow into the lake. As a result, these waterways could back up over the years and the rising groundwater could pose severe damage to existing infrastructures to the north of the expressway (The Toronto Star, 2000). There are other problems that are associated with digging up the soils that lie beneath the Gardiner Expressway. Contaminants could be present in the soil, and as a result these contaminants could pose a threat to the ecosystems that they would be placed in while construction is undertaken. Some of the lands where the Gardiner is situated on used to be industrial sites, which means some may still contain contaminants. The soil would have to be treated to get rid of the harmfulness before it is put back, which would cost the city money."

Abstract
The paper explains that Jack Weatherford began to examine the history of the Native American as he discovered that many agricultural products would not have been produced in farming without the knowledge that Indians gave those in the new world. The paper describes how Weatherford further stipulates that it is through these advances in agriculture that the United States has remained a strong contender in the global market ,and that without the influences of the Native Americans on the early settlers those new to America would not have survived. The paper analyzes how, through his work, "Indian Givers: How Indians of the Americas Transformed the World", Volume I, Weatherford brings an insight to a people that most individuals have been negligent in understanding. The paper concludes that it is Weatherford's purpose to demonstrate that Native Americans have been a misrepresented and forgotten people when the history of North America is discussed.

The Family Medical Leave Act, 2004.
An analysis of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993, which was meant to remove gender bias involved in child care.

Abstract
This paper discusses the 1993 Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The paper explains the intention of the Act to remove gender bias involved in child care, claiming that firms might offer maternity and child-care leave to mothers, but rarely offered any sort of similar leave to fathers. The law also encompassed the worker's need to care for aging and infirm parents. The paper determines that the requirements of the FMLA were limited to firms with more than 50 employees, but it is reasonable to consider any firm with fewer than 100 employees to be a small business, running leaner than larger ones, and with less capacity to absorb loss of key workers, and in some cases, any workers, as well as less power to withstand the costs of complying with the law.

From the Paper
"The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) has a long history behind it, and it has a long road ahead of it until it begins to create the sort of 'cradle' for employees enjoyed in 98 percent of the rest of the world's nations. Meanwhile, it is spottily applied, bureaucratically run, and covers-inadequately, arguably-only 60 percent of the U.S. workforce. Despite its shortcomings, or possibly because of them if one considers the totally private price tag on the FMLA, it has enormous negative effects on businesses with fewer than 100 employees. (Phillips, 2002) Fortunately, it has no effect, yet, on those with fewer than 50 employees, although moves continue to arise pushing to extend the FMLA to cover business with as few as 25 employees, still under the privately paid design that punishes even the largest of the small companies. (Under the act, all government agencies regardless of size are encompassed in the Act's requirements.)"

Abstract
This paper explores and details North American Indian life and culture as portrayed in Donald Hughes' book "North American Indian Ecology." This paper discusses the land issues facing the North American Indian tribes including overgrazing, erosion and assessments of appropriate land usage. The writer of this paper finds Hughes' book to be straightforward and concise in clarifying the characteristics of Indian life such as hunting, food growing and rituals.
From the Paper
"Tribes are having to mediate the disparate demands of their members and the industrial mindset of the BIA to balance forest use for economic need and preservation for cultural need. Tribes face many of the same problems as non-Native communities held hostage by the timber industry. Replanting has not always kept pace with harvesting on public or trust lands. The push to harvest old-growth timber is constrained by federal mandates to protect endangered species habitats, putting people out of work. Few local communities gain the "value-added" benefits of processing their own timber especially jobs and new businesses and when they do the environmental impact of mill sites has to be factored into any cost-benefit analysis."
