Conclusion
From the Paper
"The net result of my teams is that people in the company are able to work together in a proactive manner to optimize customer satisfaction. For example, the Fulfillment Team meets monthly and continuously refines not only computer systems, but also the physical systems and processes in the building. Their goal is clear and simple: to improve the level of customer service. They succeed in this to a large degree because the various departments are not isolated from each other; all staff are aware of the big picture, and of what they can do to facilitate our continuing success. I have found that the more the different departments communicate, the more everyone realizes that they can create more opportunities for our business, and increase our opportunities to sell. Thus, we all work together to take a pro-active approach to the customer."

The Plausibility of Setting in Fiction, 2008.
A comparative analysis of the contribution of the setting to the novels "The Three Strangers" by Thomas Hardy, "The Inn of The Two Witches" by Joseph Conrad and "Will O' The Mill" by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Abstract
This paper discusses how plausibility in fiction is one of the vital aspects of literature and how there are many ways to make a literary work plausible - one of them being the setting. The paper examines three stories as examples to show how the setting contributes to the plausibility of the works. The paper first looks at how, in Thomas Hardy's "The Three Strangers", the setting, which is an isolated cottage, makes the story believable as it is far from the city and its dwellers are ignorant of the facts of daily city life. The paper then looks at Joseph Conrad's "The Inn of The Two Witches" and explains how the setting contributes to the story's gothic theme, as the setting is an inn again in an isolated area. The paper relates that, although there are supernatural characters in this story, the readers accept their existence easily and naturally because of the setting. Finally, the paper examines how, in Robert Louis Stevenson's "Will O' The Mill", the setting is a mill in a beautiful valley. The paper explains that the central character, Will, arrives at strange decisions, but when these decisions are thought within the setting, they seem plausible.
From the Paper
"Thomas Hardy sets his story "The Three Strangers" in a rural part of England. The story is about a farmer who holds a party to celebrate his newborn child. There is a heavy rain during the party and three strangers call on his cottage for a shelter. As the unknown guests speak, a curiosity is created because no one knows exactly who they are, where they come from and go to. The first two strangers tell their stories and their host and we, the readers, hope what they tell is true. The third strangers' visit heightens our excitement as he vanishes as soon as he appears in the cottage. At that moment some news arrive that a prisoner who waits his execution the next day has ran away from the prison. The dwellers of the cottage and their guests mistakenly think that the last stranger is the prisoner and goes after him. They catch him and he immediately reveals the fact. The fact is that the third stranger is the prisoner's brother, the prisoner is the first stranger and the second stranger is his executioner. Of course, the real prisoner is not caught."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the role of setting in the novel "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding. It analyzes how Golding uses the island as a microcosm of the world, and as an outlet for his thoughts concerning humanity. The paper portrays the relationship between the characters of the book, and shows how the setting plays a major role in the development of the plot and the conflict of order versus savagery.
From the Paper
"The central conflict in Lord of the Flies is the theme of order versus savagery, represented in the characters of Ralph and Jack, respectively. Ralph is the one who organized the first meeting, and was elected chief of the ?tribe?, but was later unseated by Jack. Jack is the head of the hunters in Ralph?s tribe, and eventually breaks off from Ralph?s tribe with his own followers. Jack?s followers resort to savagery and deceit to accomplish their goals and ultimately stay alive. In Lord of the Flies, the conflict does not occur in a specific place, but on the island as a whole. This general setting is beneficial in that it does not restrict the story to a specific part of the island."

Abstract
This paper discusses how to teach students the critical impact that a setting holds within a story. The paper does this by analyzing two traditional picks for the high school classroom, Tennessee William's "The Glass Menagerie" and Willa Cather's "My Antonia".

Table of Contents:
Introduction
Story Setting
Tennessee William's "The Glass Menagerie"
"My Antonia" by Willa Cather
Conclusion
Appendix: Website to Aide Setting Comprehension in "The Glass Menagerie"
From the Paper
"The third layer of the setting for students to consider is the fact that "The Glass Menagerie" is a play meant to be performed on the stage. Drama invites a creative collaboration with the playwright as the student enters imaginative worlds created by scenery, lighting, costumes, make-up, gestures, and dialogue. In this play student not only come in contact with traditional dramatic aspects, but also with Williams creative play writing touches. For example, throughout the play reference is frequently given to the screen that is meant "to give accent to certain values in each scene.""

The proposal was very simple and it included the name of the product, the cost and the delivery time only. This was his first proposal in writing to any client, and before that Tom would take orders by convincing and talking to the client verbally. But this client was very professional and wanted a good proposal from our company. Tom, having no prior experience in writing proposals and reports, presumed that the client only required the price quote in writing and so he handed over a one-page proposal! "

The Setting in Literature, 2008.
This paper examines the importance of the setting in Henry James' "Daisy Miller" and F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby".
1,230 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 2 sources, MLA, AU$ 66.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that, in Henry James' "Daisy Miller" and F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby", the settings are significant to the depiction of the characters and of the main themes. The author points out that the general setting of "Daisy Miller" in Europe is important to the development of the main theme and to the designation of certain characters. The paper relates that the clash between the European and American culture is presented in the relationship between Daisy and Winterbourne. The author states that the settings of "The Great Gatsby" in eastern U.S.A., mostly in New York in the 1920s, are important to the theme of the connection between wealth, corruption and moral decay. The paper notes that the characters belong exclusively to a particular setting: Gatsby to the West Egg, Daisy to the East Egg, Myrtle to the Valley of Ashes and Nick to the Midwest.
From the Paper
"The protagonist and the main character of the second story is Gatsby, a poor man who has made a fortune in illegal activities all in order to impress and win the love of a woman named Daisy. Unlike the Henry James's Daisy, Fitzgerald's Daisy is far from innocent. She is manipulative, careless and rather shallow. She marries a rich man and later has an affair with Gatsby out of boredom and for some fun. His death is tragic, but perhaps a more tragic is the fact that he is so obsessed with Daisy that he never realizes that she was simply not worth his affections. Daisy, Gatsby, Daisy's husband, and all their friends lead extravagant and carefree lives of the rich people in the East, lives which are very different from Nick's Midwest."

Goal Setting, 2006.
An examination of the process of goal setting and its advantages.

Abstract
Goal setting is a fundamental management technique, useful at every level of a corporation or company. This paper examines the benefits of goals setting, the properties of effective goals, differentiation between corporate overarching goals and personal goals and describes the process that is most effective in setting goals.
From the Paper
"Recognizing the motivations behind human behavior is important in gaining commitment of the individual. Merit-pay systems alone do not fulfill the need for personal satisfaction that is essential in securing the commitment of the individual. The overarching goal provides a common vision, a similar frame of reference for all, that is effective in developing employee cooperation. If members buy into the same goal, it becomes likely that they will behave in ways that are compatible even if they have strong differences with each other. When the overarching goal is implemented with a series of individual goals, motivational properties are maximized."

The Influence of Media "Agenda Setting" on Public Opinion, 2002.
A discussion of the claim that "agenda setting" by the popular media is the most important factor in shaping the public?s view of the importance of an issue.
1,270 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 11 sources, AU$ 70.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the research that has been done on the phenomenon of agenda setting by the popular media, and the influence it has on public opinion. The relevant literature is reviewed, demonstrating that a plethora of studies have established that agenda setting is a common occurrence in the popular media. The opposing argument, that the evidence for agenda setting is purely correlational, is addressed. The effects that this influence has on the public's view of what issues are important are explored.
From the Paper
"Agenda setting is a real phenomenon, and is the most important factor in shaping the public?s view of the relative importance of a story. Early studies in communications revealed that the media had a minimal effect on public thinking. As such, the study of agenda setting has become one of the first real investigations into the powerful effect of the media on public opinion (Morgan). Agenda setting is important because it shows that the news media has an important role to play in the subjects that the public think about. Agenda setting, in its most insidious form, tells the public what political matters to consider important (Severn & Tankard)."

Physical Setting and Development of Themes and Characters, 2002.
A discussion of the importance of the setting of a novel in order to fully develop the themes and characters of a novel.
2,340 words (approx. 9.4 pages), 4 sources, MLA, AU$ 114.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper focuses on the importance of physical setting and shows how it can have a profound impact on the development of characters and themes. We need to understand that the actual setting of a story is as significant as the plot itself because it helps the characters grow and also helps in exploration of the chosen themes. In this connection, the paper sheds light on the physical setting of three books, namely "Paradise Lost", Barbara Kingsolver's "Poisonwood Bible" and Dante?s "Inferno".
From the Paper
"It is important to understand that physical setting of any book plays a significant role in transformation of evolution of its characters and the development of its plot and themes. Though physical settings have always been considered important, their connection with the development of characters or themes has not been explored very often. But if we delve deeper into some truly amazing pieces of literature, we would notice that setting has always been chosen appropriately to support the development of characters and movement of the plot.

Alternatives to Prison Sentences: A Case Study, 2004.
A case study analysis presenting and discussing the alternatives to prison sentences, particularly custodial sentences.

Abstract
This paper discusses the case of Deacon Blue, a twenty two year old male from Belfast who has been found in possession of drugs. The paper discusses his situation and the mitigating circumstances from both his past and present life that should affect the sentence he is given. The paper presents a pre-sentence report and offers possible alternatives to a prison term, particularly a custodial sentence.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
The Offender In His Or Her Life Setting
Offence Analysis
Risk Of Harm To Public And Likelihood And Re-Offending
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Having assessed Deacons history, circumstances and offences I propose that a custodial sentence is unsuitable in this case. Indeed, it is likely that such a sentence would produce more negative connotations and positive ones. At the moment Deacon seems to be committed to his family and helping himself out of the current malaise. The imposition of a prison sentence would go a long way to destroying the prospects of both. In this instance, a community sentence would be more appropriate along with a clear and definitive warning that any future infractions would result in a prison term. Furthermore, as Deacon has responded well to anti drug education in the past, I would recommend that such avenues be pursued to a greater extent. It is difficult to see what logical benefit could be derived from incarceration, whether for Deacon, his family or the wider community."

Healthy Childhood Eating Habits, 2004.
This paper discusses the responsibilities of parents and child caretakers have to teach and to ensure that their children have healthy eating habits.
1,230 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 66.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper stresses that something is going wrong in the way our children are being taught to eat, and something is not right with the foods that are being offered to them. The author points out that children learn a surprising amount from watching the world around them and following the examples set by their parents, siblings, and other people in their lives; therefore, the entire family should agree about helping the child learn how to be healthy. The paper states that children cannot be expected to eat the same size portions as adults because their bodies are smaller; children must be allowed to decide when they are full.
From the Paper
"Additionally, in order for children to truly be able to develop healthy food-related habits, they must be allowed to help make decisions about what they eat. Many children are not allowed to decide what kinds of food they eat, when they eat, and how much they eat. It is common for parents to scold their children and tell them to ?clean their plate? when the child feels they are done eating. ?Years ago, food was very hard to come by especially during The Great Depression and after World War II. When people have to deal with this sort of situation for years, they develop a certain mindset. Now we don't have that problem."
