This is a example essay on Electrical Engineering:
Choosing a particular field of engineering can often be very difficult for the undergraduate engineering student. A field particularly interesting to me is the development of network devices and the transmission of information between networks. Whether it is designing faster and more efficient modem circuits or researching for better transmission of signals between Earth and satellites, this field would be both challenging and exciting. The Internet is one of the best examples of how this field has impacted society. Enormous amounts of information are now accessible to anyone, anywhere. From network interface card design to on-demand Internet processing, I believe the world of networking has endless opportunities for engineers to get involved and make it better.
Networking technology has become a necessity for affairs in government agencies, international corporations, banks, and the life of common citizens. This field has exploded over the last ten years. The need for better servers, faster signal transmission such as in fiber-optics, and secure online commerce are only a few examples which lead to various engineering opportunities. (more…)

This is a sample essay on Maimonides:
Maimonides attitude towards the ancient philosophers and the philosophy of the ancient world was that these people like Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, and were wrong about a lot of things. Maimonides was a Jewish philosopher.
Maimonides didn’t like the Islamic religion. He believed that it was better to kill yourself then convert to Islam.
Maimonides had no religious tolerance. I believe he did not Muslim people because they forced his family to move around much until they decided to live in Cairo, Egypt. He did not want to even comprehend the thought that Judism was not the answer to the questions of religion. Maimonides wrote the book the Guide to The Perplexed and in this book he tried to interweave both Jewish law and Greek philosophy.
Maimonides believed that these ancient philosophers seemed to be missing key points in all thier arguments. This in turn gave Maimonides a chance to exercise and explain his point of view and why he is correct over their views. Maimonides states that all philosophers seem to believe that it is impossible for god to produce something from nothing. (more…)

This is a free example research paper on Anabolic Steroids:
Steroids Win, win, win that’s what its all about. Being the best and wining at all cost, no matter what it takes. In recent years, athletic competition has intensified to the point that increasing numbers of athletes are striving to upgrade their performances with the desire to be recognized as the best. Because players want to play, coaches want to win, and spectators demand to be entertained, the game is no longer about dreams, discipline, and competing, it is about illusions, deception, and winning. And no price is too great to pay to win. Although many athletes reach their goals through traditional methods, significant numbers are including pharmacologic shortcuts in their training programs.
Increasing numbers of athletes are now relying on anabolic steroids to enhance their strength, endurance, and performance, despite the knowledge of the potentially serious adverse consequences these agents can have. Through this paper one will find a decisive background and history of anabolic steroids, from when they were first used in the sporting arena, to what they do, and who uses anabolic steroids and why. Second how anabolic steroids are harmful mentally through perceptions of feeling and looking good, to societies demand of winning at all cost. Third how this drug is extremely harmful physically and the negative effects in both men and women along with the overall negative effects of steroid abuse. Last the reader will see how the use of anabolic steroids are an unfair advantage to those who use them for how it heightens athletic prowess and gave them an extra competitive edge. Therefor misused anabolic steroids are very harmful to athletes, mentally, physically, and are an unfair advantage to the athletes who use them. (more…)

This is a free sample essay on the Puritans:
Throughout the writings on the Puritans there seem to be many different interpretations of who they were and how true they were to their religious beliefs. In the selection “Were the Puritans “Puritanical”?” it is interesting to see how Puritan beliefs are extremely two sided. For instance the article talks about how many believe that god created things for necessary use only but it states if that is so then why would there be a pleasurable aspect to things. There is an example that states, “The wine is from God but the Drunkard is from the Evil” (Degler, 101). which shows that in one sense the Puritans do believe that pleasure is allowed in life, one should enjoy wine without it being considered a sin.
What is not acceptable in the Puritan religion is excess, one is entitled to drink the wine from god but they must not abuse the privilege by drinking more than their share that is when they will be considered sinful. Another example is their beliefs about the manners of dance that were acceptable. One could dance so long as they were not dancing with the opposite sex in a sexual manner. The dress code of the Puritans was determined by ones status and they believed that the people should dress appropriately. Then there is the issue of leisure involving music and art. Basically what this article says is that the Puritans were not a people opposed to having enjoyment in life but they did believe that it had to be done at appropriate times in appropriate ways. There are myths that they did not like music which is not the case at all they just did not believe that church was the right place to enjoy music. It also talks about art and states that there has been evidence of nudity in their art. I find all this to be interesting because most information that is written on the Puritans makes them out to be very strict and religious people who live their life “trying to develop a strong relationship with god through Bible study, prayer, and introspection” as stated in (The American Promise, 80).

This is a free example essay on Network Defense and Countermeasures:
My goal is to provide an evaluation of the second class in the New Horizons Security Certified Program. This evaluation is a personal opinion and does not express the opinion of the State of Michigan or the Information Security Cortsoidum or any persons holding a CISSP.
This portion of the New Horizons class was well spread out. The first lesson was Network Defense Fundamentals. Authorization, availability, authentication, confidentiality, and integrity were defined and discussed as the five major key issues in network defense.
Layered defenses were examined as the best defensive strategy. When we talk about strategies, it is always good to use a well-known analogy so the students can relate. This portion of the course uses the castle analogy to discuss the various layers of security. Basic definitions included training and awareness, perimeter security, intrusion detection, non-repudiation, and attack responses. (more…)

This is a free sample essay on Andrew Jackson:
Andrew Jackson was born on March 15th, 1767 at a settlement near the Crawford’s Branch of Waxhaw Creek in South Carolina (1). His parents, Andrew Jackson, and Elizabeth Hutchinson immigrated to America two years prior to his birth, in 1765 (1). Unfortunately, his father died only a few days prior to Andrew’s birth. Jackson lived a long and interesting life, full of many achievements, financial, military and political to die at an old age of 78 in 1845. At only 13, Jackson, along with his brother joined a regiment to serve as a mounted courier in the American Revolution (2). His hotheadedness showed at even this early age, when after being captured by the British he was nearly killed by an officers sword for refusing to polish his boots (1). Jackson’s mother managed to get both him and his brother out of captivity, but they had both came down with smallpox while being held and his brother died on the trip home (1). His mother passed away from cholera soon after that while she was nursing wounded p.o.w.s. (more…)

This is an example essay on Atlas Shrugged:
The novel, Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand, is a book about the importance of the mind to man’s existence. It is the story of what may happen if man ceases to employ reason in his life. Set in the United States, in an unknown future, the heroine is Dagny Taggart, vice-president of Taggart Transcontinental railroad. Power-hungry bureaucrats implement socialist legislation, causing the country to fall into a depression. Throughout the story, Dagny fights to keep the “looters” from destroying her railroad. She struggles to find “the destroyer,” the one who is convincing the “men of mind” to disappear. In the end, after he and the other strikers have won, she realizes that the destroyer is truly the embodiment of what she thinks an ideal person should be. Dagny demonstrates the motif that gender does not limit human greatness. She is an example of a domineering woman shown in a positive leadership role. (more…)

This is a free sample essay on Amelia Earhart: Charting the Skies for Women:
Amelia Earhart is know today for her vast accomplishments in the world of aviation as the first woman pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and beyond. Amelia was a self-determined and ambitious young woman with a deep passion for aeronautics and adventure. Her drive for going farther and farther into the record books, set her apart from the typical woman of the early 20th century. By the time she was in her 30’s, she had already flown across the Atlantic ocean, breaking the stereotype of a common woman across the universe. Amelia’s spirit and love for her calling resulted in her mark in today’s history books, and her ever enchanting story of adventure across the skies of the cosmos.
Amelia Mary Earhart was born on July 24, 1897 on her grandparents’ farm in Atchison Kansas. She was the oldest of two girls born to Amy and Edwin Earhart. She and her sister Muriel were given a life of great wealth and prosperity by attending elite private schools and supplied with many gifts by their wealthy grandparents. Edwin and Amy moved to Des Moines Iowa in 1905 to start a life for their own in the railroad business, and left the girls on the farm until 1908. Edwin was promoted in 1909, and greatly improved the financial situation of the Earhart family, but at this time, Edwin also became a heavy drinker. (more…)

Free example essay on Milgram Study:
The Milgram study, conducted in 1961-1962, shocked and fascinated the scientific community with not only its disturbing findings, but also with its questionable experimental methods. The experiment in itself consisted of placing an individual in a situation in which they would be forced to choose either to obey or disobey commands given by an authoritative person that were contrary to their own morals, sense of socially acceptable behaviour and humanity. This essay will concentrate on whether the study was of great scientific and moral benefits or if the costs and potential harm to the participants were but one factor in making the study an unethical disgrace.
A major factor to the argument of the study’s lack of ethics is the intensive emotional distress and deep conflict, which the participants were subject to, due to the research procedure. The research procedure called for participants (or teachers) to give ‘learners’ electric shocks of increasing voltage when a wrong answer was given to their question, increasing from 15 volts to, eventually, 450 volts, with warnings such as ‘Danger severe shock’ amongst the descriptions.

This is a sample essay on War in Iraq:
The United States has been torn apart with the thought of war. There is the fear spread by the media about dirty bombs and mustard gas. There is the recommendation to have an air tight room in one’s house and to duck tape sheets of plastic on one’s windows. However, many do not understand how this safety advice is related to the Bush Administration’s international policy. How did the September 11th terrorist attack from Afghanistan become a War on Iraq? Is President Bush’s desire to fight a war on Iraq related to his father’s problems with Sadaam Hussein ten years ago? These and many other questions arise in the mind of the average American citizen. As with many other topics, Americans have various viewpoints concerning the War on Iraq; Some are pro-war and some are anti-war. (more…)
