Abstract
A review of "Ethics in Accounting" by Ireen Baset and how it addresses the contemporary ethical issues related to the accounting and financial decision-making process. Examines how the article treats the challenge, faced by employers, managers, administrators and employees alike, of adequately incorporating ethical values into the daily work schedule.

From the Paper
"On the same account, a real estate company where the entire corporate dealings depend upon the efficiency and the sense of morality of the accountants must make relentless efforts to effectively communicate corporate ethics. This can be best done through the planning and implementation as well as the continuous maintenance of a sound and a pragmatic internal ethical program, that is putting down ethical rules in black and white for the organizational staff, employees and the first-line supervisors."

From the Paper
"This study was conducted to resolve dissatisfaction that was occurring among nurses in the pediatric setting, (Ernst et al. 2004). Satisfaction among nurses is an important issue that is affecting the nursing profession. Job satisfaction in nurses should be of great concern to any organization. Nurses hold the majority of positions in most health care settings, and replacement of licensed personnel is costly and time consuming. In today's healthcare climate, with sicker patients and leaner staffs, some nurses become overwhelmed, (Huff, 1997). Unhappy nurses can translate into high turnover, unhappy patients, and a lower quality of care."

From the Paper
"Pain was measured using a standardized pain assessment (Krulewitch et al., 2000, 1612). This assessment was administered to all participants in the study. The researchers used several scales in the study. The MMSE was used to determine dementia, along with documented diagnosis as such. The face pain scale and the nonverbal visual analog pain scale were used to determine moderate to sever pain. The researchers of the study report that one-third of demented subjects were unable to rate pain using any of the tools, but had had a pain assessment during the designated time of the study. Researchers point out those who were assessing the subjects for pain may have been unaware of the degree of pain experienced by the demented individual."

Abstract
This paper examines "The Banking Concept of Education", an essay written by Paulo Freire, which explains how education is really a tool that is used continuously to oppress the poor. It explores how the banking concept of education is the idea that the teacher teaches, and the student learns from that teacher by utilizing the basic drills, memorization, and repetition. It also looks at how an adult can have the thinking process greatly enhanced by learning the basics, such as the alphabet, reading, eventually, and then writing, not necessarily in that order, and how, once those basics are learned, then the adult can use the combinations of those skills to perform more complex cognitive processes.

From the Paper
"The overall idea of the banking concept is that when a person like you or I are researching a topic in the library for example, the reason we can achieve this feat is because of the basics of education we have already been taught. For example, if we were to study China, we would need some understanding of reading, writing, geography, etc. The banking concept has worked well presenting those basics, at least for the affluent nations of the world. However, we may have chosen a different path had we not been taught those basics. If a homeless child in the ghettos of Rio needs to learn something, he will not be as prepared to utilize banking concepts because his immediate needs are different. Maslow has pointed out; I may be looking for food or shelter, not an alphabet in the homeless scenario."

Abstract
This paper discusses how libido becomes invested in learning according to Klein and critically assesses her account. Four of the five subjects from Klein' study are used to demonstrate the impact that their castration fear and sexual symbolic meanings, as depicted by Klein, have on the child's ability to adapt to school and the tasks which they are to perform there. It concludes that the libido becomes invested in learning according to Klein through the role of sublimation.

From the Paper
"In her paper 'The Role Of The School In The Libidinal Development Of Children' (1924: 312-331), Melanie Klien claims that through psychoanalysis she discovered that her five subjects (Felix, Fritz, Grete, Ernst and Lisa) expressed an aversion to school and the tasks that would be undertaken whilst in attendance. Klein attributed this aversion to the castration fear. To the children, school presented as a rigid, strict environment, completely dissimilar to the feminine, nurturing environment provided by the mother at home. This created anxiety for the child and unlocking their unconscious revealed the extent to which sublimated libidinal instincts influenced this aversion (1924: 312). "

"With the popularity and usage of notebook and other wireless devices such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDA's) increasing, so to has the need to connect these devices to the Internet. This has also led to a requirement for the availability and uninterrupted connection to the Internet when moving across physically network boundaries. The Mobile IP standard (RFC 3344) uses a single IP address for mobile host identification purposes even when the host moves across networks in order to achieve this."

Abstract
This paper examines David Bordwell's critical article "The Art Cinema as a Mode of Film Practice." It shows how Borwell aims to propose that the 'art cinema' is actually a real form of film practice, with a historical background and distinct procedures that are taken in order to generate its formation. The paper examines Bordwell's ideas and the examples that he provides.

From the Paper
"The article then goes on to explain the use of narrative intelligence. Usually the narrator makes it known that he or she is well informed of the future events that the characters in the story will experience. Using this knowledge, the film may use various techniques such as the flash-forward to exercise the narrator's power over the viewer. In this way, Bordwell explains that the art cinema is more focused on plot rather than story. Therefore the who, how and why are central to progressing the plot further in art cinema. The conclusion of art films is then discussed. Bordwell, outlining the fact that the characters lack particular goals explains that because of this, the story itself will quite often lack a particular ending. Or at least one with a solid, understandable resolution. This assists Bordwell in implying that art cinema is just a reflection of life itself, which also has no clear resolution."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Anna Quindlen's article, "We've Been Here Before" attempts to liken the current War in Iraq to the U.S.A's war in Vietnam which started in 1959 and ended on April 30, 1975. It looks at how Quindlen attempts to convince the reader that the two war situations are the same by offering a series of points that are intended to show the similarities in the two wars and create the idea in the reader's mind that they are so similar they should be considered the same. The paper contends that Quindlen's argument is based on false analogy and that the whole article is riddled with fallacies of many types which include red herrings, ad hominum attacks and appeals to misery. The author of the paper maintains that these fallacies combined with the false analogy fallacy are the reasons that Quindlen's argument fails.

From the Paper
"The most common fallacy in this article is the ad hominum fallacy which means to launch a personal attack towards someone. The subject of this personal attack is President Bush who in almost every paragraph receives criticism of some sort. Quindlen attempts through many different measures to undermine Bush's character, frequently calling him arrogant and claiming that the War in Iraq is based on his ego. She also mentions that Bush has not attended a single soldier's funeral which is an underhanded way of telling the reader Bush has no sympathy for the dead in Iraq and cares only about victory. This is an obvious red herring, a diversionary argument that in no way supports her original claim. It seems that the majority of the argument is devoted to convincing the reader that Bush is not a suitable leader and that he is a man of poor character. This may or may not be true but as with the red herring goes nowhere in proving that the Vietnam War and the War in Iraq are the same or even similar. "

Abstract
Carol Moog's article, "Media Mirrors" deals with the changing advertisements of Maidenfrom lingerie. The paper discusses Moog's point that women went from seeing Maidenform commercials as being interesting and empowering to seeing them as embarrassing. The author of the paper argues against Moog's opinion and challenges the idea that the type of underwear one wears determines whether one believes in oneself or not. The paper also examines the role of men in the advertisements.

From the Paper
"From personal experience and observation, I don't agree with the author of the article. I think that Moog portrays women as not really knowing what they want, and as the kind of people who are extensively swayed by advertising campaigns. Granted, it is the goal of advertisers to sway people to buy their product. However, Moog's article almost sounds as though she does not feel that most women are intelligent enough to make choices in their life based on things that are more important than what type of bra they are wearing. Since the article is written by a woman, it surprises me that the article would give off this kind of impression. However, that is the very definite feeling that I received from it."

Abstract
This paper discusses the above article which recognizes that the pace of new developments, especially technological, requires employees to constantly develop their skills. The paper points out that cost can be a problem, especially the cost of the employee's time. The author feels that for the program to be effective, the individual characteristics of the organization need to be taken into account.

From the Paper
"The first good point made is that e-learning can be tailored to the organizations needs. The area that staff are trained in does not depend on the curriculum of a local college. Instead, the organization can determine what it wants employees to learn and how long it should take. The organization is not governed by class times. Instead, the organization can set any time for learning. This allows flexibility in both the time required and the content delivered. With this ability to tailor the material, the organization can make the best use of training time. Efficiency is important in all aspects of business, including training. E-learning makes training efficient by allowing the organization to train employees in the areas that are most important. As well as that, the flexibility means training time can be scheduled as it best suits the organization."
