This paper also explains the author?s message according to the reader?s perception and explains how the book can prove to be effective in the life of the reader.
From the Paper
"If a teenager has pessimistic thinking and is in an inferiority complex then there is not much that he/she can obtain out of life. But again if this habit is replaced by an optimistic thinking and a positive attitude, it can make a lot of difference in a sense that it raises self-esteem and brings about a lot of self-confidence in a person. What the author is trying to convey is that all bad habits can be exchanged for better ones only if one desires for it and puts in some effort and will power. An influential writer such as Samuel Smiles once said, ?Sow a thought and you reap an act, Sow an act, and you reap a habit, Sow a habit, and you reap a character, Sow a character, and you reap a destiny? (Get In The Habit, http://www.focusas.com/GetInTheHabit.html)."

From the Paper
"This paper will review author Steven R. Covey's bestselling book, "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People". This paper will also analyze Covey's habits and point out which habits will best cause people to become more effective leaders.
One of the first things which Covey points out is that "habits can be learned and unlearned" (46). Covey notes that breaking deeply embedded habits like impatience, procrastination, and selfishness can take time. However, breaking such unpleasant habits is often a crucial step toward a person's achievement of new goals. Although breaking unwanted habits takes a great commitment, Covey asserts that, if a person's desire to change is coupled with an understanding that one must be willing to subordinate what one wants now to achieve what one wants later, a person may ...

From the Paper
"If other people believe that you are genuinely interested in what they are saying to you, half of the communication battle has already been won. A simple nod of the head, a smile, body position (leaning forward and so forth) all play a critical role in this regard, and paraphrasing what others have said to ensure that the message has been received is always a good idea. To this end, when others see that you have understood what has been expressed, they will be in a more receptive mood to listen to your response. This paraphrasing also reinforces the sincerity of interest on the part of the manager, since the mental effort required demonstrates an active listening role. This paraphrasing also helps to place the problems in the context of the whole organization, and helps to define the tone of the original message."

Abstract
This paper examines a text written by Stephen R. Covey which explores the basic habits of thought and action which result in healthy families. The paper points out Covey's humility in acknowledging that his text cannot be viewed as a cure all for familial strife insofar as no such thing exists.
From the Paper
"Stephen R. Covey's 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families' is an excellent text which describes how families can overcome the vicissitudes of everyday modern life and still find time to help and nurture one another. Covey's book is also very timely insofar as, at the time of its release in 1997, rates of marital infidelity and illegitimacy were at an all-time high and the institution of marriage itself (as well as traditional conceptions of the family) seemed under assault from all sides. Consequently, the book has a "here-and-now" applicability that adds weight to its findings. As expected, Covey divides his tome into seven more-or-less equally long chapters. "

Abstract
The author positions the book against what he considers a dubious backdrop of modern self-help literature, which started with Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography and ends with the likes of Tony Robbins and others. The paper discusses how the book has many of the same goals of Franklin's but, unlike the latter, is hampered by a preachy tone, buzzwords, and some silly philosophizing. The author points out that there is some valuable advice in the book, which explains its success and will have readers coming back for more.

The Seven Habits

Synergy
Sharpening the Saw
From the Paper
"Covey has you visualize attending a funeral, your funeral. Think about what you would want a coworker, a spouse, someone in your community to say about you. You are touching on some of your core values. ?Begin with the end in mind is based on the principle that all things are created twice? (Covey, 2003). The first creation is the visualization and the second is the physical. In the business world ?leadership is the first creation. Leadership is not management. Management is the second creation (Covey, 2003). Mission and vision statements are another example of beginning with the end in mind."

Abstract
This paper examines the best-selling book written by Dr. Stephen R. Covey entitled "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People". It presents a critical analysis of the book and shows why books such as these are unoriginal and don't effectively help their readers.
From the Paper
"The seventh point may be self-explanatory, but without it, the other six might fail. Trust your instincts. Dr. Covey calls this "Getting to Yes". It is the idea of establishing confidence in yourself, your decisions, your team, your goal, your dreams. One can read huindreds of "How To" books about management, human resources, expanding the market place, targeting consumers, knowing when to "fold 'em" (pardon, Kenny Rogers!). But, all the books are written by experts, self-styled or otherwise, whose goal may be to inform or to come up with a new, marketable gimmick, but the end goal is to make money imparting their wisdom or their sermonizing."

Abstract
This paper contends that Stephen Covey's "Principles of Personal Management" in his book, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", is important because it reinforces the responsibility of each individual. The paper analyzes this third chapter of the book.
From the Paper
"Character comes from discipline and this is also something we do not hear much about these days. Character in this sense struck me as extremely important because it the foundation from which all our decisions will be made. Character is often what separates winners from losers. I found it interesting that Covey notes that people with character often do the things they do not want to do out of a deeper responsibility to themselves and their goals."

Canadian Drug Laws: Flying High or High Flying?, 2005.
A discussion on the current marijuana policies in Canada.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper supports decriminalization rather than legalization of marijuana and bases its rationale on the assumption that legalization is politically untenable. While the criminal elements of the marijuana industry are examined they are examined in the light that the marijuana industry would not generate the profit margins that the criminal industry usually demands if marijuana were decriminalized.
From the Paper
"The legality of marijuana in Canada seems to be more of a matter of legal semantics than any pragmatic change in legal practice. As one pundit notes, "Officially, possession of cannabis is a crime and first-time offenders face a maximum sentence of a $1,000 fine or six months in jail, or both...Unofficially, the law is in tatters...(Bergman, 2003, para.3). It is this tenuous status quo that receives the most criticism while the debate about legalizing/decriminalizing or toughening/enforcing marijuana statutes receives the most intellectual attention. The polarity on either side of the marijuana debate acknowledges that the policy as it currently exists, is unsustainable. The following research and argument is intended to support the decriminalization of marijuana as opposed to the legalizing of marijuana. "

Abstract
This paper analyzes Steven Covey's book, "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", from the point of view of a military naval sailor facing the death of his father. It shows how the author, from personal experience, applied Covey's seven principles to his own daily life, both in civilian life and on the ship, and came to recognize leadership qualities in several of those around him and in himself.
From the Paper
"The fact that Covey?s analysis of leadership meets both civilian and service needs was underlined by several core, formative experiences I have since had at sea, in examining my immediate leaders through Covey?s sevenfold eyes. Once, I was particularly struck by the leadership behavior of a Captain who always gave public and private recognition for the quality of the labor of others, and complimented the diligence of his subordinates. He never saw losses, his thinking was always ?win-win,? stressing the positives learned, even when the individual made an accidental error. (9) He was never afraid that making compliments for a job performed correctly and excellently would make him seem weak, according to Covey?s ?paradigm? of ?interdependent? leadership. (10)"

Abstract
This paper focuses on the seven habits listed in the book and examines how these can be used in both personal and professional venues as well as the ways in which these pieces of advice are also fundamentally limited in key aspects.
From the Paper
"Stephen Covey's "seven habits of highly effective people" are pretty straightforward and simple: 1) Be proactive; 2) begin with the end in mind; 3) put FIRST things first; 4) think win-win; 5) seek first to understand, then to be understood; 6) synergize; and 7) sharpen the saw. The first three of these habits Covey considers to be private victories, the second three "public victories" and the seventh habit is the renewal process that encompasses all of the other habits."

Advertising to Teens, 2002.
This paper discusses the way advertisers market to teenage audiences and why these campaigns are so effective.

Abstract
This paper states that advertising to teenagers is a big business because teens buy more of many types of products than any other age group. This paper explains that most teens view advertising directed toward them very positively; they view commercials more as reality and do not always realize they are created to sell products, especially when they perceive the ads as infomercials or news, rather than advertisements. The author believes that teens are indeed heavy Internet users, but they trust many other forms of advertising before they trust ads online.

How Teens View Advertising
From the Paper
"Clearly, advertising to teenagers is an important and vital part of the advertising market, and the most successful advertisers recognize how and where to market to teens. An example of these successes includes the tobacco manufacturers, whose advertisements geared to teen smokers, have been banned due to health issues. There marketing campaigns were so successful, teen smoking is still on the rise, and "Joe Camel" is still a cool icon to many teenagers. One critic noted, "Considering the number of billboards and the coolness of the characters, we wonder less and less about why 90 percent of today's smokers started underage. Concerned educators and government officials have been coming up with ways to help minimize the effect of advertising on teens"."

Highly Qualified Teachers and their Implications for Middle Schools
From the Paper
"Teachers are concerned about not being as effective without the help that they receive from these individuals (Exstrom, 2003). They seem to be critical components in many schools and spend a lot of time one-on-one with students in order to reinforce instruction. Many teachers are not able to do this because they have such heavy class loads and large class sizes (Flores, Tefft-Cousin, & Diaz, 1991). Middle schools are generally designed to be a critical transfer point for children because they are moving out of elementary school and the idea that they are just a child into high school and the idea that they are young men and women (Exstrom, 2003). Because of this middle school is a very crucial time in their lives and without having highly qualified and prepared individuals to get them through this point many of them will struggle (Exstrom, 2003)."
