From the Paper
"Katz defines the project approach to social studies as an in-depth examination of a given topic that is undertaken by a group of students in order to determine answers to questions about the topic and thereby learn more about it. The primary focus in the project approach to social studies is on making the topic of real interest to students and involving them in a wide variety of tasks in order to complete the project, e.g. ..."

"The responsive classroom approach is one that has recently received attention nationwide in American schools. The approach deals with the social patterns of students in school. In recent years there has been attention given to school problems, including bullies, schools shootings and self esteem. With the more recent problems that have garnered national attention, school systems have turned to experts to determine how best to create a warm and welcoming school climate. Social skills may not fall under the four R's but if educators do not address the problem the repercussions could be tragic."

"According to Haas and Laughlin (2001), teachers employ a wide range of instructional approaches that largely depend upon their goals and the topic being studied. "The teachers reported using a variety of strategies in their teaching," the authors note. "The majority of the sample (65 percent) still taught in self-contained classrooms, and 47 percent reported teaching social studies as a stand-alone subject" (p. 122). When teachers were asked how frequently they used textbooks, media, and computers, 81 percent reported using maps/globes/satellite images at least once each week with 67 percent indicating use of these geographic tools several times a week; fully 90 percent indicated using a textbook for instruction, 45 percent said they used the book no more than once per week and 8 percent used no textbook."

Abstract
This essay discusses the ways in which a stakeholder approach to corporate governance would differ from the existing system of a stockholder approach in the UK. A definition of corporate governance is provided along with the differences between stakeholder and stockholder approaches to this particular issue. The extent to which a stakeholder approach would change the existing system is also investigated. References and evidence to support these arguments are provided throughout the essay.

From the Paper
"The new proposal of corporate governance is that of a stakeholder approach. The fundamental principle behind this concept is that shareholders are no longer the only members of an organization who have an interest in the conduct and performance of the company. This is supported by Demb & Neubauer (1992) who state "corporate governance is the process by which corporations are made responsive to the rights and wishes of stakeholders". J. Kay (1995) also states "it is the purpose of companies to maximize its profits or to develop its business in the interests of customers, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders in the wider community."

Abstract
In this article, the writer explores the nurtured heart approach of behavior therapy. The writer explains that the topic of behavior disordered children has always been a volatile one. The writer then points out that experts in the fields of child psychology and education not only disagree how to treat the disorders, they sometimes disagree on whether the disorders even exist. The he writer examines Dr. Howard Glasser's approach to treating difficult children, including those who have been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADHD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and other behavior related disorders. The writer concludes that with the nurtured heart approach to behavior in a classroom, students will realize that negative behavior gets no response, while positive behavior gets compliments, rewards and credits.

"The first thing the approach stresses is the fact that intense, or difficult children do not react normally to the basic rules of parenting. While parents of these children may be dedicated and trying everything they can to get these children turned around they are often faced with defiance and refusal to comply. It can be frustrating for the parents, the teachers and the children who are involved. It can also be difficult on remaining family members."
"The Nurtured Heart Approach believes that these children are programmed in a way that an entirely different approach is needed to make the child change behavior patterns, and consequently gain confidence in his or her ability to fit into society and succeed."

Abstract
The paper states that relational approach is extremely parsimonious because it takes three basic concepts and uses them to explain and predict behavior. The author believes that, in comparison with Freud's psychoanalytic theory, the relational approach can be seen as more appropriate merely because it is falsifiable with a minimum of constructs. This paper explains that the relational approach differs from other theories in that it examines gender differences without discounting or trivializing them.

From the Paper
"The final theme discusses how traits once thought to be deficiencies act as strengths leading to growth and development. Labels, such as hysterical, over emotional, neurotic or infantile are biased against women and should be discarded in favor of more positive labels, which better describe a woman's nature. Labels unfortunately have been and always will be a large part of the vernacular, both in the sciences and in every day life. The important task is to attempt to reduce bias whenever possible. In applying the relational approach to men, labels are also employed as derogatory terms."

Abstract
This paper argues that there are economically sound justifications for considering some form of free market approach for transplant organs. It is clear that transplant organs are scarce; nature does not freely provide as many organs as transplant patients want. Moreover, from an economic point of view, there certainly is an organ shortage; the going rate for a liver is below the equilibrium or market-clearing price and so more organs are demanded than could possibly be supplied at current price levels. The paper shows that allowing an organ market to better allocate these products to as many needy patients as possible seems like an improvement upon the current system. However, the proper method of organ allocation cannot be determined without considering the ethical implications of a market-based approach. The paper, therefore, first addresses the ethical issues involved in this matter. Following this is an analysis of the economic, political and social aspects of a free market for organs.

From the Paper
"The current method of allocating transplant organs in the Unites States, under a system administered by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), involves a waiting list. In general, the sickest patients on this list will receive their organs the soonest. However, because the list is so long, most of the patients will die waiting. This situation has led to the advocacy of allowing a free market to develop for allocating transplant organs. The primary objective of this plan is to let supply and demand mechanisms determine who gets organs (and when), as a substitute for the current need-based approach. Throughout this discussion, the central characteristic of a successful alternative allocation method is considered to be a greater number of organs being made available to people in need, compared to the current waiting list approach."
