Female
Circumcision Among the Olinkans
[ send
me this paper ]
A 14 page research paper that is based on the premise
that the author is a nurse who is spending a year as a
health practitioner to the Olinkan tribe. The author
must state a position relative to the subject of
female circumcision, a practice of the Olinkans. The
writer gives both sides of this issue, but comes down
unequivocally against female circumcision, or as it is
more accurately called, female genital mutilation. In
making this argument, the writer uses "Tashi"
from Alice Walker's "Possessing the Secret of
Joy" as a case study. Bibliography lists 10
sources.

Naturopathic
Diet And A British Diet: How They Differ
[ send

focusing mainly upon the easily digestible and
nutrient-rich food choices. The writer discusses these
differences as they relate to the food pyramid.

Osteoporosis
And Exercise: Potential For Injury
[ send
me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Along with a proper diet and
adequate rest, exercise is one of the most vital
components of a healthful body. Indeed, exercise has
become the watchword for optimum health in this
ever-conscious society. Yet one cannot help but wonder
if too much rigorous exercise has the potential of
actually damaging the body. For example, a female
marathon runner might be doing her body well by
avoiding the inherent risks of osteoporosis; however,
if the athlete already has the disease to some extent,
how does exercise detrimentally impact her condition
over a long-term basis? When one considers the fact
that osteoporosis is a bone disease that causes bones
to thin and weaken, eventually becoming so brittle
they break from even minor injuries, it is easy to
understand why the endurance level of a marathon
runner - along with the level of strenuous exercise -
could indicate serious injury. Bibliography lists 8

Partial
Birth Abortions
[ send
me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Considered by some to be nothing
more than a veiled lack of responsibility, partial
birth abortions have come to the forefront of
controversy. As if abortion, in and of itself, was not
a hot enough issue for debate, both the procedure and
reasoning behind partial birth abortion are under
fire. Women whose fetuses have known birth defects
most commonly utilize this highly invasive procedure
as a means by which to terminate the late-term
pregnancy. After the baby is purposely turned in the
breach position, the doctor pulls it down through the
birth canal until the only part left inside the
mother's body is the head, which legally maintains its
fetus status. The brain is then suctioned out and the
skull crushed before the body is completely expelled.
Indeed, the primary arguments about this particular
procedure revolve around the status of personhood, as
well as the reasons to even employ such a horrific
alternative. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

The
Complexities of Abortion: The Issues of Choice Verses
Right to Life
[ send
me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of the many issues surrounding
abortion. Notes that despite the common perception of
abortions being sought by strictly irresponsible
women, the choice to have an abortion is not always
cut and dried. Such choices can involve pregnancies
resulting from rape, illegitimate pregnancies,
pregnancies in which the mother's life is endangered,
and pregnancies in which the fetus has been determined
to be malformed or diseased. Concludes that
governmental intervention in these issues is not the
solution, that the real solution lies in allowing
women to decide on an individual basis whether an
abortion is the appropriate course of action.

Uterine
Cancer
[ send
me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Uterine cancer ranks number four on
the list of most common cancers to strike women. With
almost thirty-five thousand women diagnosed and
treated for uterine cancer in 1997, there is a growing
need for continued research into the disease's
definitive causes and cures. Survival rates have been
charted on a five-year line of progression, clearly
demonstrating the fact that current efforts are
enabling early-stage patients to experience greater
than a ninety-percent success rate. However,
contemporary research is focusing equally upon causes
and prevention as it is upon treatment and sustained
recovery. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Women
and Drinking in the 19th Century
[ send
me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses women's alcohol
consumption in the 19th century, especially during the
time of the temperance movement. In 19th century Great
Britain, alcoholism was widespread, due in part, to
the harsh social conditions brought about by the rapid
industrialization throughout the country. Many
families were suffering as a result although such
suffering was most often associated with a drunken
husband and father rather than an alcoholic wife and
mother. In the U.S., the first organized temperance
movement began in the early 1800s in response to
dramatic increases in production and consumption of
alcoholic beverages, which also coincided with rapid
demographic changes. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
