Is Alcoholism a Genetic, Hereditary Disease ? - Yes ! :
A 7 page research paper arguing quite strongly that alcoholism is, in
fact, a hereditary disease linked to our genes. Using the findings
of specific studies in books and journals, the writer debunks the
myth that alcohol is a social disease and that the only familial
influences are those related to peer pressure and modeling. Both
sides of the argument are weighed, assessed, and the ultimately
conclusion that alcoholism is hereditary-- is reached.

Climate & Geographic Change Between The Late Triassic
& Jurassic Periods : A 7 page paper that discusses these
changes in light of the disappearance of the dinosaur. The
writer suggests that although this is still a mystery (unknowable
fact), the geographic changes (tectonic plate theory, sea-floor
theory) and climate changes from warm, moist climate to boreal
at the end of the era are believed to have contributed to the
demise of the dinosaur. Dinosaur groups and extinction are also
considered within these definitions. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Scientific Evaluation Of Michael Chrichtons
Jurassic
Park : A 10 page study that looks at the efficacy of Crichton's
use of science. It is argued that, generally, his scientific
principles are accurate, and delineates between those that are
applicable and those that are not. The paper provides a report
on the current discussion on cloning, DNA and Chaos Theory
from both a scientific viewpoint and from the viewpoints
represented by Henry Wu (corporate), Ian Malcolm (chaos
theory), and Alan Grant (embodiment of social protector).
