Orphan Trains: Mid 1800s to the Early 1900s
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page review of the history of the orphan trains, New York City’s and Boston’s solution to the problem of the street waif. This movement involved not just true orphans, not just children for whom there were no relatives left, but also children who were being inadequately cared for by their own families. These children were rounded up and shipped to new homes in the West and the Midwest where they either became indentured servants or were adopted into caring homes which would provide both care and direction to a better life.

Orphanage Conditions According to Race, 1900-1950
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing differences in white orphanages and black orphanages in the first part of the century. Conditions in orphanages of any racial makeup were deplorable by today's standards, but were far more acceptable in the days in which work ethic and religious values were stressed above anything else. Those lesson were rigidly and harshly taught to white children, but black children in the days of Jim Crow were all too familiar with the realities of life. Black orphanages existed only through the altruism and true caring of successful African Americans, and exhibited far greater degrees of true caring than did policies of white orphanages.

Outline for a Paper on “The Legalization of Gambling: Its Social Impact and the Reasons for Its Continuation”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page outline discussing the points needed for a paper on the legalization of gambling and its social impact. However, the outline concludes with the continuation of legal gambling opposed to possibilities of banning it. An outline involving the legalization of gambling and its social impact includes various elements: the history of gambling on a worldwide scale; the history of gambling in the United States; and the impact of the legalization of gambling on a psychological, sociological and economic scale among other factors. The negative impact of legalized gambling has been found to be mainly socioeconomic in that people who become addicted gamblers often end up not only ruining their own lives financially and socially but also the lives of those around them. From a psychological perspective as well, gambling addiction must be treated similar to other addictions and therefore requires financial assistance to administer recovery programs. The positive impact of gambling is largely economic in nature by providing communities and state governments which much needed funding and employment opportunities in addition to the fact that many people enjoy gambling as a leisure activity. Despite the negative aspects related to gambling however, most researchers seem to conclude that banning gambling would not only be ineffective in stopping compulsive gamblers who may increase their risk by continuing to gamble but that banning gambling will take away some of the fundamental rights expected within the U.S.; freedom of decision-making and individual responsibility. Individuals currently have the freedom to decide whether or not to take part in the leisure activity of gambling or not; if this freedom were to be taken away it would negatively affect the nation’s moral health.
