Abstract
This paper is a critique of Amanda Lotz's article, "Textual (Im)possibilities in the U.S. Post-Network Era: Negotiating Production and Promotion Process on Lifetime's Any Day Now," about the script changes made to the show's script as a result of sensitivity to network and racism issues.

From the Paper
"Amanda Lotz's article "Textual (Im)possibilities in the U.S. Post-Network Era: Negotiating Production and Promotion Processes on Lifetime's Any Day Now" describes her research into the history and background of the Lifetime original narrative series "Any Day Now". The program chronicled the friendship between a white woman and a black woman that started in the racially tense times in Birmingham, Alabama, when they were childhood playmates, and was rekindled in when one of the women returns to Birmingham for her father's funeral."

Abstract
The sceptical view that humans have little if any knowledge is compelling enough to have caused people to debate it for many years. It has even entered the public consciousness, via the medium of the film The Matrix, which features people living completely illusory lives.

From the Paper
Option 2: Some skeptics argue that humans have little, if any, knowledge. Their argument turns on two claims. First, we can't be certain that we aren't living in a computer-generated illusion like The Matrix. And second, if we can't be certain of this, we don't have knowledge. Is this a sound argument? The sceptical view that humans have little if any knowledge is compelling enough to have caused people to debate it for many years. It has even entered the public consciousness, via the medium of the film The Matrix, which features people living completely illusory lives. However, I would argue that despite the allure of the sceptic's argument, and despite

Abstract
This paper examines the poem "Self Evident" by American Ani Difranco, which is inspired by the September 11th attacks on New York and Washington D.C. The paper provides biographical information on the author and literary analysis of the poem, through stylistic analysis and criticism. The author demonstrates how Difranco is a powerful activist speaking out against the government and the policies of President George W. Bush.

From the Paper
"The attacks that took place on September 11, 2001 had a great effect on Americans everywhere. For most people, the event ignited a new and empowered sense of patriotism; consequently, it caused George W. Bush's approval rating to soar through the roof. However, not everyone felt this surge of increased support for our government after the attacks. The poem, "Self-Evident," by singer songwriter, Ani Difranco elaborates on the other side of the September 11th story, one that is seldom heard or tolerated."

Abstract
This paper explains a product line of health insurance that was introduced to employers, physicians, and hospitals in the 1980s. It was called health maintenance organization (known as HMOs) and was almost guaranteed to be a success, because it had built-in incentives for physicians and hospital providers. It goes on to describe other plans that have been introduced and how HMOs changed the face of healthcare.

From the Paper
''The boon for employers was that the insured would have a greater responsibility to the plan in the way of deductibles, copayments, and, if they were not compliant with the rules of accessing care, penalties and non-covered charges. Also, the employees would be managed in their access to care and hospitalizations, and directed to preferred providers, ensuring that the most cost effective systems were utilized (Morriem, E. Haavi, 2002, 103). What at first seemed like a win-win situation, eventually turned into a runaway train that could not - would not be stopped (Zellman, Walter A., 1998). Healthcare delivery and access evolved - some say deteriorated - into its present state as most people know it today.
''The introduction of HMOs changed the face of healthcare. It introduced not just capitation in place of fee-for-service, but instituted a component into the system referred to as managed care. That part of the plan overseen, initially, by less than qualified levels of healthcare expertise, nurses, licensed practical nurses, and, in mental health, technicians, instead of physicians.''

Abstract
The space shuttle program from inception has been challenged by trade-offs. Management at NASA is forced to make difficult decisions regarding schedule and budgets, and some of those decisions aren't proper from an engineering perspective. Due to budgetary constraints and a disconnect between management and sound engineering, the nation has experienced two shuttle tragedies: Challenger and Columbia. This paper attempts to explore the tradeoff and conflict between budget and safety.

Conclusions

From the Paper
"On January 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded 18 miles from its initial launch point at Kennedy Space Center, a mere 73 seconds into its tenth flight. Seen only by launch cameras, intermittent puffs of black smoke escaped the right solid rocket booster (SRB) from .678 until 2.733 seconds into the flight, stopping only to reemerge as a flame another 56 seconds later, and ultimately leading to the destruction of the orbiter. (NASA, 1986) All eight crew members of the Challenger were lost in the explosion and the eight-mile plummet into the Atlantic Ocean."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the personality of Mrs. Mallard in Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour". The author discusses the reasons that Mrs. Mallard reacted the way she did and then died. In addition the era is discussed in regards to the way women reacted to bad marriages.

From the Paper
"Chopin's story used an undercurrent of accepted societal norms and came in through the back door to reveal the shocking truth of Mrs. Mallard's desire to be without marriage. Mrs. Mallard was a woman of her time. She was raised to obey certain things and her marriage was one of those things that she was to accept without question. Only when she thought he was dead was she able to face and accept her true desires in life. This is representative of the time and something that probably caused many women to sink into a depression lasting a lifetime."

Abstract
In any nursing environment there is inevitably a system that is built upon foundational conceptions of order and structure. That is to say, conformity and coordination are paramount in any stressful working environment, but they are absolutely essentially in a nursing environment, as the cost of failure can sometimes be extremely high in this particular setting. Yet in any nursing environment, health care professionals are going to be confronted with moral situations that ultimately test their own conception of ethics and morality, and so the question remains, when is it acceptable to interfere with the mechanics of an efficient machine in order to examine the ethics of the situation?

Abstract
Sociological theory focuses on the relationship between social life and society. The social issues of any society are made visible. Sociological theory works in any society. Clashes of ideology, social control, who has power and who does not, gender, socio-economic issues are all social issues that are explored in Sociological theory. Ideologies like capitalism, communism, fascism, dictatorship and socialism are all related to the social class structure in societies that are theorized about by sociologists worldwide. Any two ideologies attempting to coincide within a society creates social conflict.

Abstract
This is a how-to book for ethics and the ministry. There has to be a basic core of ethics and integrity within anyone who has any chance of succeeding in the ministry. One could be hard pressed to find any profession, career, or job where integrity is not a basic job requirement. But for the minister, integrity and ethics are not just core necessities, they are what might be called tools of the trade.
