Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that both the critical and non-critical debate about the effect of television upon its viewers seems to have begun somewhere probably in the first week or so of the sets being introduced to the public. The consequence of the appearance of television itself was immediate and profound both sociologically and psychologically, as well as economically for some industries. The writer points out that the influence of this medium on our culture as a whole is enormous, for both good and bad results. TV violence has become an extreme issue for the conservative to derogate and for the liberals to defend. The writer discusses what is the reality of the effect of TV violence on us today and especially the more impressionable children that view it. In particular, the paper discusses the current state of the debate and attempts to separate fact from fiction, both on screen and off.

From the Paper
"This same study also inferred that if children, with the help of their parents, take more control over their leisure activities that they may be able to take more control of themselves and their behaviors overall. There is another benefit in that when parents show they are concerned and take an active role in their child's wellbeing, this has the effect of children who see adults caring about them and not just using TV as the built in babysitter. Jones feels that cutting overall consumption is really the key and violence is only a small sub issue over which very little evidence is clear on direct connections. And what is clear is often not very convincing."

"Incredibly powerful and talented Black lesbian and bisexual women have either isolated themselves in lonely closets or succumbed to drug addiction, and even committed suicide because they feared both societal and familial rejection. From a historical perspective, the pressure lesbians faced in the past is understood. However, even today, black lesbians in the upper echelons of society still have to choose between silence and success (Asanti, 2001). Until the year 1969, most people who identified as GLB generally could not be open about their sexual orientation and publicly respected in the United States, unlike to European countries. Same-gender sexual behavior has existed throughout history;. However, until about 1850 the labels heterosexual, lesbian, and gay male did not exist in Western societies. Many adolescents are likely to experience sexual interests and behaviors for the first time in their lives during puberty. Many sexual attraction, but not self-label as lesbian or gay male (Anhalt et al., 1998)."

Machu Picchu, 2008.
This paper studies Pablo Neruda's poem "The Heights of Machu Picchu".
845 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 38.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this essay, the writer notes that Pablo Neruda's famous work, 'The Heights of Macchu Picchu' is a large poem, divided into twelve sections. The writer discusses that the text depicts a symbolic vertical journey to "the heights of Machu Picchu", a world of rarefied air and steps of stone which sends the traveler back to the origins of human civilization. The writer points out that the poem recounts the poet's own traveling experience to the ancient and mysterious ruins of Machu Picchu. Overall, the writer maintains that the text is an attempt to speak the true language of South America and deliver its message to the world.

From the Paper
"Significantly, the poem is made up of a series of surrealistic images which describe a symbolic cycle of death and resurrection. One of the recurrent images throughout the poem is that of the cutting air which can be inhaled at the dizzying heights of the Machu Picchu summit. Interestingly, although the air is actually invisible, it is nevertheless among the most telling images of the poem. Neruda manages thus to bring to light the powerful image of Machu Picchu's stone body precisely by depicting the mountain as a sacred dome made up of rocks and air. In the poem, the mountain air acquires thus a symbolic power. Instead of a feeling of emptiness, the air actually provides the reader with a strong impression of the giddy heights. It is through this composite imager of stone and air that the poet manages to convey the sublime sensation of the spiraling steps, as a suspended ladder that takes the traveler to another world. "

Abstract
In this essay, the writer introduces, discusses and analyzes the book "Tobacco Road," by Erskine Caldwell. Specifically, the writer discusses the author's life and its effect on his writing of "Tobacco Road". Further, the writer provides criticisms of the novel and looks at the novel's place in literary history. The writer notes that "Tobacco Road" is probably one of the most enduring glimpses into a tragic part of America's history that has ever been written. The writer explains that profiling a poor white family from Georgia, it encapsulates the poverty and hunger these people faced, while using dark humor and pathos to portray the tragedy of their lives, and the gradual decline of any decency in their spirit. The paper includes over 10 pages of copied critiques on this subject.

From the Paper
"It seems the only one with any sense at all in the family is Pearl, and she has enough sense to want to get out and go to Augusta. She is also the most unusual character in the novel - she never speaks, and refuses to sleep with her husband, Lov. Early in the novel, the reader discovers Jeeter is not her father, and this explains why she is different, and why she wants to leave the area. Everyone else in the novel seems a bit dazed by what happens around them, just as Lov is dazed when he loses the turnips. Caldwell gives a sense of unreality to the novel, as if things are happing around the characters, and they do not understand why they happen, or how everything relates to them and their lives. It is as if they are walking through life - seeing it but not really taking part.
"Jeeter uses his children to further himself, no matter how shocking this may be. He sold Pearl to Lov for seven dollars and some household items, and is absolutely enthralled with Ellie May's sexual seduction of Lov so Jeeter can grab the turnips. He also in effect sells his son Dude to Sister Bessie Rice for a car and the chance to get his firewood to market. Jeeter is always full of hope, but he is so scheming and lazy he can never get past the hoping stage."

Philosophies and Greek Literature, 2008.
This paper discusses perspectives and philosophies that are revealed in Greek literature.
750 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 33.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that Greek literature reveals much about Greek and Roman culture. From reading ancient poems and epics, one gains a sense of understanding of the people, their culture, and beliefs. The writer discusses that Greek literature provides fascinating insights into people, societal norms, and beliefs. The writer also points out that because the society was an oral one, many of the early epics, such as Homer's 'The Iliad' and 'The Odyssey' are excellent resources as well as monumental pieces of literature. The writer maintains that with this literature one can gain insight into a segment of society's greatest and most mysterious people.

From the Paper
"Will Durant maintains there are essentially five elements that unify Greek society. They are a common language, a common intellectual life, a common passion for athletics, a love for beauty, and partially common religious beliefs and rituals. Regarding the aspect of literature uniting the Roman population, we can see how the belief of gods and goddesses was a prevalent, inviting force. The same can be said about the society's belief in war, heroism, and fighting for one's country. For example, in The Odyssey, one sees the presence of Athena, Hermes, Aeolus, and Poseidon - gods and goddesses that had incredible power and influence over society. In this drama, the gods are perceived as responsible for human fate. In contrast, The Iliad paints more reasonable picture of the gods - one that leaves the humans in control of their own fate. For example, in the Odyssey, the gods controlled Odysseus' journey. This play also shows how the gods conspire and work against each other."

Abstract
This paper discusses animal rights activism, explaining how the subject raises many different issues with equally diverse underlying philosophies ranging from biblical principles, religion, objective ethics, as well as anthropological arguments about what specific qualities and attributes make us human. From the scientific perspective, we now possess the tools and technological capabilities to understand that Homo sapiens differs from other mammals strictly in degree rather than in kind.

Introduction
Defining what Makes Homo Sapiens Sapiens "Human" (and what Does Not)
Conclusion

From the Paper
"Animal rights activism raises many different issues with equally diverse underlying philosophies ranging from biblical principles, religion, objective ethics, as well as anthropological arguments about what specific qualities and attributes make us human. From the scientific perspective, we now possess the tools and technological capabilities to understand that Homo sapiens sapiens differs from other mammals strictly in degree rather than in kind.
"Nevertheless, most animal activist rhetoric focuses on identifying specific attributes as characteristically human upon which arguments for animal rights are based. Extremist groups like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) go even further, suggesting that all animals be entitled to the same rights as people and that every
form of animal food, clothing, and ownership be abolished. Even more disturbing is that some animal rights terrorists also subscribe to the reciprocal of that concept, arguing that human beings are entitled to no greater rights than those we give animals, justifying the endangerment of human lives in terrorist attacks on research facilities housing animals."

Genocide in Africa and Kosovo, 2008.
An examination of genocide in Darfur and Rwanda and Kosovo.
2,523 words (approx. 10.1 pages), 6 sources, APA, AU$ 95.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper examines the genocide in Darfur, and also brings in information about other genocides in the past. The paper explains that even though the United States calls what is happening in Darfur "genocide" and the United Nations refers to it as "...the worst humanitarian disaster in the world today," little is actually being done to stop the slaughter of innocent people. The paper points out that there are no clean hands in this conflict - many rebels have turned to being bandits and just steal and sack villages wherever they wish to make trouble. The paper then looks at how innocent civilians, peacekeepers and humanitarian aid workers are caught in the crossfire.

From the Paper
"Journalist Hunter-Gault did her homework prior to coming to Sudan, and was aware that tensions had been building for a long time between the Arabs (Muslims) and Black Africans; indeed, there were ongoing issues including land and grazing rights in the area. A "rebel Darfur group" - mostly Black Africans - actually took up arms against the government in Khartoum, which is principally ruled by Muslims. Africans wanted a bigger share of the wealth that they claim the government was enjoying, but Hunter-Gault continues, instead of inviting a discussion of how life could be made better for the native Africans, the government responded with "a vengeance." They bombed rebel positions and began supplying arms to the Janjaweed militia (Janjaweed means "men on horses"), which is the marauding force that rapes women, kills men, and burns villages."

Bronfenbrenner and Development, 2008.
This paper discusses Urie Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory of development.
1,377 words (approx. 5.5 pages), 4 sources, MLA, AU$ 58.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that in many ways, the ecological theory posited by Bronfenbrenner can be used to describe the levels of development in the writer's personal and academic life. This theory of development is based on interactive levels of input and experience that can be transposed and used to discuss the decisions made in the writer's personal life, which led to a change from a career focused on children and family services to the geriatric population and gerontology. This paper not only attempts to show how this personal development corresponds to Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory of development but also analyzes and elucidates this theoretical standpoint and its ramifications.

From the Paper
"In essence, the theory put forward by Bronfenbrenner stresses the quality as well as the context of the developmental environment that extends from childhood to adulthood and to later life. A central facet that is emphasized in the theory is the interaction between the individual and the environment and the complexity of this interaction in the developmental process. Many of the above stages can be relate to the different dimensions of an individual's development. For example, the Macrosystem can present environmental factors that can both help or hinder the developmental progress of the childe or young adult. "

Hispanic American Diversity, 2008.
This paper looks at Hispanic-American diversity in the United States.
1,400 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 4 sources, APA, AU$ 58.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper relates that America is today the largest multi-ethnic country, with an impressive number of immigrants from all parts of the world and from all races. The paper also notes that the Latino population living in the United States is now a considerable percentage of the overall population of America. As such, the Hispanics are merely taken as a whole, without proper consideration to the significant differences between the cultural groups. The writer points out that while Mexican Americans, Central and South Americans, Puerto-Rican Americans share certain cultural aspects, they do not form a homogeneous class. Thus, it has been proposed that a pan-ethnic view of the Latino identity will not only discourage real unity among the different groups inside the Hispanic community but will actually promote intra-Latino exclusions and injustices. The writer maintains that each group should thus be considered as having a different identity from the others, according to their nationality.

From the Paper
"There is thus a perceptible need to distinguish between the different Latino groups as having different identities and different needs.
"There are a few common things that The Latinos in the United States usually live in difficult conditions since they arrive in the country without having sufficient knowledge of English or sufficient working skills. Also, certain prejudices against them may prevent their employment. As Davila shows, in New York for example the minorities were treated all alike in the past, and are sometimes treated like this in the present also. As a native Puerto Rican recounts, there are serious confusions between different cultures which demonstrates that minorities are treated simply as part of the same pot, with no regard for the significant differences between them .."

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper discusses serious environmental problems in China. The paper explains that due to overpopulation and industrialization, pollution has become a major issue within China's borders. The paper then looks at how migrants from rural and farm areas have begun moving to cities and densely populated locations at the alarming rate of approximately 20 million per year, and how this has put an enormous amount of pressure on employment within the city and has given rise to may social ills. The paper also discusses the effects of industrialization in China. The paper points out that it is not until recently that controlling industrial pollution has really gained momentum in China.

Outline:
China is Suffering Serious Environmental Problems
Root Causes of China's Problems
Strategies Chinese Local Governments, Businesses, or Individual Citizens Have Implemented to Lessen the Negative Impact on the Environment in this Region and Help Prepare it for a More Sustainable Future
Practical Solutions to these Problems that can be Funded, Developed, and Implemented Locally, or Will Long-Term Solutions Require Assistance from Outside Sources If Outside, Detail Extent of Involvement
The Philippines Has Also Attempted to Overcome Problems Similar to China's
The Success or Failure of the Philippines in Their Efforts
The Environmental or Social Factors Aiding or Hindering the Implementation of Those Plans

From the Paper
"The environmental problems in this area are due mainly to a massive population growth and urbanization in cities near the coast. This has increased industrialization in the area attracting high pollution technologies dealing with the production of energy. The South China Sea has become a dumping ground for vessels that use its waterways and for spills that may occur during ocean voyages. This environmental meltdown can be seen in satellite photo-images of the South China Sea, in which dense closed of smoke haze hang over the landscape."

Socialization of Immigrants, 2008.
This paper looks at personal and institutional responsibility for socialization with regards to immigration.
789 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 4 sources, APA, AU$ 35.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that it is evident that history has forced most immigrants to the US to take on the responsibility of socialization individually, without support from social organizations. The writer further relates that, in the initial mass immigration that occurred during industrialization, this philosophy lead to the formation of cultural communities across the US that worked to support cultural members and the greater social order as well. The writer then points out that, as time has progressed, however, there have been millions of immigrants that have arrived in the nation, both legal and illegal, who have relied solely on these cultural communities for socialization. Ultimately this has created a separation between cultural communities and the larger social order because there has been a lack of organizational or institutional support for immigrants. The writer then asserts that it is therefore apparent that it is time for institutions and individuals to fulfill their social contract with society and assist immigrants in becoming socialized. The writer concludes that it is only through this dual effort that one society will function for the greater good, which includes fulfilling the needs of all cultural groups and prevents segregation of cultural groups from the greater social order.

From the Paper
"For example, millions of illegal immigrants are demanding that they be given their citizenship because of their extended stays within the country. This demand is supported by numerous groups within the Hispanic culture that believe that crossing the border into the United States and functioning in society without incident should be sufficient grounds for citizenship. Yet, the opposing viewpoint to this argument suggests that by offering citizenship to this population, the country is degrading the efforts of other immigrants that have followed legal pathways to becoming citizens. Clearly, the latter argument supports the intentions of society to conduct immigration through legal processes, while the initial argument supports a cultural desire that strays from the legal structure of the nation. Additionally, it should be noted that the first argument serves to separate the needs of one group from the needs of the greater society, while the second argument insists upon a universal format for immigration.
"Therefore, demanding that immigrants should be responsible for their own socialization process in which they create their own resources and opportunities is possible. However, without the support of social organizations that essentially allow for a universal understanding of American life and the American culture, individuals rely on cultural communities that support only a particular culture's way of life and not the nation."

Abstract
This report compares the differences in management and work attitudes between the US (Western society, The Czech Republic and Asia). A variety of influences are discussed and compared such as gender, employee attitudes, and management styles, etc. The report concludes that cultural factors are indeed critical to outcome and the success of a company.

Outline:
Introduction
Cultural Differences: Czech Republic versus United States
Hofstede's Evaluation: Czech Republic
Eastern Versus Western Cultures
Conclusion

From the Paper
"Culture is usually considered the combination of inherent values and learned mission. The importance of culture is due to the fact that it can affect operational excellence and the achievement strategic objectives. It is therefore imperative that there be a general understanding of the difference between the two cultural realms so that important aspects of the management styles can be positioned within the overall strategic business process within organizations, since:
- Organizations are living social organisms, and need a link between them to survive; the culture can act as this link, but may or may not be a positive or enforcing element,
- Culture is a main part of the fundamental support of an institution and may fail if there is a serious contradiction between business trends and the cultural practices within a country,
- Culture is critical to business strategies, goals, missions, and outcomes, (ITIM, 2003, para 4))"

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper compares the use of ancient and modern hospitality in the context of literary and modern practices of caring for a guest. The paper notes that, although the context of travel and hospitality were not as open and dignified as it is in a modern context, the use of familial or guest orientated hospitality in the ancient world is still ever-present today. Moreover, the paper concludes that the ideology of generosity to travelers is the continuous strain of thought that is every present in a humans "natural" ability to help those that need help while away from home

From the Paper
"In ancient biblical times, the family unit was a major component for hospitality within the Judaic tribes, which made a manifest unit that was bound to be respectful to one another. This early interpretation of hospitality was often thought to have been exclusive to the tribes alone, yet there is a great deal of information that suggests there was more connection to the outer world than once thought. The primary suggestion that early tribes were isolationist is an absolute in historical studies that has been challenged due to the nature social interaction that must have occurred for human connectivity to occur. However, the majority of opinions on these ancient tribes appear to provide an insular perspective on hospitality, since the laws of the tribe may have appeared exclusive to the tribe alone. But in certain case, one can derive a certain modernity about tribal customs that deviated from this linear view:"

Parenting Guidelines for the Hispanic Community, 2008.
A discussion of parenting guidelines for the Hispanic community in America.
5,590 words (approx. 22.4 pages), 26 sources, APA, AU$ 169.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper discusses parenting guidelines for the Hispanic community in the United States. The paper explains that the success of any set of parenting guidelines for a particular ethnic group hinges on the author's ability to take on an ethnic-sensitive approach that incorporates the group's specific traditions, culture, religion, and experiences with the new and daunting culture. This paper then attempts to prove that a setting down of concrete parenting techniques (communication, conflict resolution, and the like) must take into account the specific experiences of the Hispanic community in the United States. The paper explains that, in order to prove the validity of this assertion, it is necessary to point to and elaborate on the conflicts that characterize this community. The paper also points out that these conflicts include the traumas of immigration and racism, the unique structure and role of the Hispanic family, and the Hispanic family's role in the acculturation process. The paper then reviews the relevant literature on the topic. In conclusion the paper shows that the ultimate goal of this research is to enlighten both immigrants and American born individuals to the real and perceived experiences those from other countries go through, as they attempt to raise their families in a sometimes stressful and uncomfortable climate. A revised outline for the paper is included with this document.

Outline:
Introduction: Summary of Purpose and Thesis
Racism and the Trauma of Immigration
Acculturation
The Structure and Function of the Hispanic Family
Conclusion

From the Paper
"The United States, with its fondness for the oft-quoted "bootstrap mentality," often discourages immigrants from dwelling on troubled pasts or inherited traumas. It is hardly shocking to read that immigrant groups (particularly those from non-European countries) encounter racism upon arrival in the United States, but Hispanics, with the large number of the immigrants from Spanish-speaking countries, experience discrimination of considerable magnitude. In their Latinos and Education, Darder, Torres, and Gutierrez argue that Hispanic students, before they even enter their first American classrooms, internalize the racism that seems to blossom in highly industrial countries."

Economic Growth in the Stone Age, 2008.
This paper is a discussion of how and why economic growth was sparked in the Stone Age, specifically stating that climatic changes, geographic factors, and the growth of settlements with larger populations were the largest factors.
1,974 words (approx. 7.9 pages), 6 sources, MLA, AU$ 78.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper discusses the economic growth that occurred during the Stone Age and aligns with Marshall Sahlins' view that the Stone Age was a society of affluence, stipulating that an affluent society is one in which material desires are easily fulfilled, as long as the needs of the people are few. The author argues that the primary factor in economic growth of the Stone Age was the climatic change that followed the end of the Ice Age. These climate changes caused food shortages, which in turn necessitated the development of tools for hunting. Later, in areas where geographic conditions were ideal, agriculture developed, which in turn spurred greater economic growth.

From the Paper
"The Neolithic Age was preceded by the rise of agricultural activities in several Stone Age communities. In general, the Neolithic period is seen primarily as an economic phenomenon, and its essence is seen as consisting in the new phenomenon of agriculture (Thomas). Of course, this did vary from region to region. By 5000 BC, peasant communities existed in Palestine, Iraq and Iran, and soon thereafter they appeared in India, Egypt and the eastern Mediterranean (Hawkes and Woolley 8). On the other hand, in Europe hunting persisted for thousands of years, and change came much more slowly. Moreover, Thomas argues that the situation was quite different in southern Britain, and possibly also in other parts of Britain, and in Ireland. The point Thomas wishes to make is that 'the Neolithic in Britain was not characterized by a single economic system' (7)."

Mental Illness, 2008.
Compares the view and prevalence of mental illness among modern and traditional societies.
2,085 words (approx. 8.3 pages), 6 sources, APA, AU$ 81.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper examines the view that traditional societies are less friendly to individuals with mental illness, which leads to the perception that there is less mental illness when, in truth, it is simply more well hidden. The paper then compares views of mental illness in modern socieites, and, in particular in Canada, to those of traditional socieities such as China, the Aboriginal socieites of Canada, and Middle Eastern societies and concludes that there is no single answer to how traditional cultures treat mental illness.

Table of Contents:
Introduction
Mental Illness in Modern Societies
Mental Illness in Canada
Mental Illness in Traditional Societies
Mental Illness in Canada's Aboriginal Population
Conclusion

From the Paper
"It is this kind of practice that differentiates the Chinese and the Canadian process of caring for the mentally ill and may lead to a difference in how they are perceived. However, the practice goes far beyond simple numbers on a percentage scale. Some traditional cultures rely first on their own traditional forms of mental healing, turning only to modern solutions when their preferred methods fail to work. In Morocco, for example, a Berber family might first consult a fquih, a traditional healer, before turning to the services of the Centre Psychiatrique Universitaire Ibn Rochd (CPU) to treat mental illness."
