Abstract
The paper relates that in this episode, Betty Suarez and her family go to Guadalajara to help her father Ignacio's immigration difficulties, and confront the culture difficulties for non-citizens to immigrate, and what results is a comedic representation of the methods behind illegal immigration. The paper discusses how the episode also attests to the common conceptions of a Latino identity within the United States and how that identity correlates to the growing numbers of illegal immigrants in the U.S. However, the paper notes that when the show fails to allow the character of Ignacio to enter into the United States, it is ultimately commenting on how the practice will most likely never be condoned within larger American culture.

Abstract
The paper examines the ABC American Television Comedy, "Ugly Betty" and deals with issues such as acceptance, race, surrealism and sexuality in both good and bad ways.

From the Paper
"The ABC American Television Comedy, "Ugly Betty", deals with issues such as acceptance, race, surrealism and sexuality in both good and bad ways, but ultimately has a huge influence on how our culture perceives these specific themes and issues dealing with race and sexuality. The show itself is an adaptation of a Columbian telenovella, and follows Betty Suarez (played by America Ferrera) as she works as a personal assistant at New York's Mode Magazine. The hook of the show is that Betty isn't conventionally pretty in a vocation that revels in beauty, fashion and style. Not only is she not pretty, but Betty is also awkward, poorly..."

Abstract
This paper relates the history and development of Betty Boop, the first female flapper cartoon. The writer describes how the Fleischer brothers started out with cartoons featuring a dog named Bimbo and then created Betty Boop in the 1930s as a hot little number that entertained by dancing, singing, and just getting into all types of things. By bringing jazz music and musicians into the cartoon, musicians such as Louis Armstrong became famous and her character became a sex icon in American jazz history. Although the Betty Boop series ended in 1939, she was brought back in the 1990s with a biography about her life when her 60th anniversary was celebrated.

From the Paper
"Three Jewish immigrants from Vienna arrived in New York in the 1880s with a fascination for cartooning and technology, which brought all three of them into the world of animation. The Fleischer brothers Leonard, Max, and Dave responded to the local influences around the Manhattan music scene to find their choice of performers. They would combine themes from their own lives as middle-class citizens, secular Jews in New York City with their own cultural and musical notions of African Americans, funneling all these raw materials into a popular representational form of cartoons (Nyback, Longmore)."

Abstract
The paper contends that although the television show "Ugly Betty" tries to present a positive image of Hispanics in American society, it actually reinforces Hispanic cultural stereotypes. The paper further illustrates how the show marginalizes Mexican Americans and creates an unfair representation of Hispanics by ignoring their socio-economic diversity. The paper highlights how the show conveys that only "white" customs and features are ideal and beautiful.

From the Paper
"Film and television are effective forms of mass media that propagate ideas and depictions. Unfortunately, there is a generalization of cultural portrayals, which leads to incorrect preconceived notions of ethnic groups. The television show Ugly Betty, written by Silvio Horta, reinforces Hispanic cultural stereotypes, marginalizes Mexican-Americans, and creates an unfair representation of Hispanics by ignoring their socio-economic diversity. Although positive images are presented of Betty and the Suarez family, there are many more negative connotations that have adverse effects on the audience. The fact that the show is centered on Betty being "ugly" due to her frizzy black hair, braces, glasses, and chubby figure only implies the notion that Hispanics cannot be beautiful."

Abstract
The paper relates that Betty Neuman at the University of California in Los Angeles developed the Neuman Systems Model, in 1970, and the purpose of the theory's development was to alter the method of teaching in the Introductory to Nursing course offering at the University of California. The paper describes how Neuman attempted to create a model of nursing theory that provided a holistic overview of the various aspects of being human. The paper explains that these aspects are termed physiological, psychological and sociological, and Neuman based her theory on the influences of deChardin, Gestalt Theory, General Adaption Syndrome and General Systems Theory (Heyman & Wolfe, 2000).

Abstract
This paper presents a brief synopsis of Betty Friedan's 1963 book "The Feminine Mystique", whereby the main points of each chapter is summarily discussed. Next, the paper discusses the accuracy of the historical facts and events presented in it. The book's historical relevance is then analyzed and the paper ends with a brief conclusion.
This paper notes that it was written with reference from several books and textbooks on the issue of the second-wave of feminism occurring in America during the 1960s. The paper further notes that the purpose of the paper is to provide a comprehensive and edifying overview of second-wave feminism in the United States and highlight the importance of Friedan's work in jump-starting it. The paper uses MLA style endnotes rather than a works cited page.

From the Paper
"After listing these causes, Friedan then goes on to discuss the effects of the 'feminine mystique' on the housewives. Apart from noticing that most of them suffered from the 'problem with no name', Friedan also concludes from her interviews that these housewives had an insatiable desire for sex. She hypothesizes that this is mainly because the 'feminine mystique' limits women to roles based on their sexual functions, i.e., mother and housewife. Friedan also notes that the children of these stay-home mothers are affected with a "new and frightening passivity, softness [and] boredom"."

Abstract
This paper examines the paradigm of psychiatric nursing through the lens of Betty Neuman's Systems Model. Neuman believes that the demands and opportunities of nursing are unique because the nurse is the only medical professional who truly does care for the whole person, helping to alleviate all of the stresses that affect each individual. The paper shows that because nurses see their patients as "whole" people, by extension Neuman sees the profession of nursing as a set of actions that collectively assists individuals as well as their families to achieve and maintain a state of wellness. It examines how nursing, especially for the psychiatric nurse, requires that attention be given to all of those stressors that affect the patient as well as all of those stressors that affect the caregiver, i.e. the nurse.

From the Paper
"Of all medical professionals, nurses as a group come closest to the ideal of treating the whole patient, addressing physical, emotional, psychological and even social concerns. This is especially true of psychiatric nurses who work to help patients address both the physical and cognitive symptoms of their conditions as well as to come to terms with the stigma attached to having a mental illness - a stigma that often is applied as much by the patients to themselves as by others."

Abstract
This paper explains that, after World War II, Betty Friedan in her renowned book "Feminine Mystique" urges that women should not have to live up to any sort of image, real or imagined, but should learn to live their lives in a way that provides them with satisfaction. The author points out that Friedan, in essence, was a pioneer only in the sense that she brought up-to-date what had been going on for nearly a century; she put her finger on the feminine malaise. The paper relates that Friedan's closing chapter, dealing with self-realization, has been achieved because today women are marrying later, not dropping out of school to marry and bear children, restricting the number of children, often postponing childbirth in favor of a career and the glass ceiling, while not totally shattered, has severe cracks in it.

From the Paper
"However, before celebrating true gender equality, one should look back again at Ms Lerner's letter and her complaint that feminism is passing African-American (and by inference other minority) women by. There are few minority women who have made it to, or near, the top in American business- in advertising, in magazine editing, in publishing romance novels, and certainly in the movies, on records, and on TV. But, even on television, there are still many blanks which seem reserved for white women- very few minority anchors (except in those metropolitan areas where viewers need to be attracted- areas like Los Angeles and new York, Houston and Phoenix. What's more, the decision makers and producers who hire minorities- or don't hire them- are mainly white, with the obvious exception of Spike Lee. There are no major leaders of any woman's movement who is black or Hispanic, even though there are some high-ranking minorities on Clinton's Cabinet, and, until her defeat in 1998, there was a black female senator from Illinois. Yes, there are two women on the Supreme Court (but their pol9tics tend to cancel one another out)."

Abstract
This paper argues that the originators of "Ugly Betty" try desperately to prove that a soap opera can actually offer profound criticism of society's ills; however, the show fails miserably. The paper then defends this criticism by embarking on an analysis of the April 27 "Petra-gate" episode. The main argument presented by the paper is that the producers' (or more accurately, the writers') attempt to challenge gender and sexual roles by relying on extreme stereotypes fails to send a sophisticated message, as the stereotypes (being, of course, stereotypes) are downright crude and offensive.

From the Paper
"The character of Daniel, Bradford's foolishly impetuous son, also succeeds in reinforcing tedious gender roles, Betty, fittingly, cares a great deal about her boyish-faced boss, and she (also fittingly) manages to provide him with release by filling the role of the caretaker or strict mother: "You're using [women] like a drug". Betty is ideal for this role (she lacks good looks or sexual appeal), and does a superb job of being the self-deprecating friend, the listener, and, when the behavior of her uncouth boss demands it, the scolding mother and savior (it is she, after all, that saves him from certain ruin)."
