Abstract
This paper examines whether and to what extent blue collar workers have some form of job security. It distinguishes between workers that are members of a union, and those that do not enjoy the job safeguards that are typically part of a union contract covering blue collar workers.

From the Paper
"According to an article by Lawrence Peikes writing in HR Magazine, both employees and employers must understand their respective responsibilities and rights in the workplace. An area in which the law is evolving involves an employer's right to fire an employee at-will. Many companies follow the employment-at-will doctrine, which means an employer at least in theory, has the right to fire an employee at any time and for any reason with or without advanced notification and with or without any form of severance..."

Abstract
This study personifies the characteristics of all of the 'blue collar workers' in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", from the stuttering of Snug the Joiner to the arrogance of Nick Bottom, the weaver.

From the Paper
"William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedic play of many plots that supports the themes that love is blind and that when in love one becomes very foolish. These themes are supported by all the characters in the play who are teased by a group of fairies who contaminate their victim's bodies with love potions to make them love other people. There are three main groups of people in the play fairies, royalty, and then at the bottom there are the mechanicals. Absurd, distasteful, rude, and above all of these stupid, men who are brought together by a mechanical Peter Quince who is assigned to produce a play entitled Pyramus and Thisbe to be executed after the marriage of the Duke."

Abstract
The paper looks closely at the book "Profit Without Honor: White-Collar Crime and the Looting of America" by Rosoff, Pontell and Tillman and asserts that the book is a testament to the need for dramatic change in the government to gain control of white-collar crime. The paper discusses the authors' contention that white-collar crime, especially in accounting and auditing, continues despite many efforts by law enforcement agencies and government officials. The paper agrees with Rosoff, Pontell and Tillman that white-collar crime is as affecting and malicious as other forms of crime and should be addressed appropriately.

From the Paper
"Rosoff, Pontell & Tillman address the subject of fraud and white-collar crime in their work, Profit Without Honor: White-Collar Crime and the Looting of America. This book provides the reader with an overview of the many types of white collar crimes occurring in the States including fraudulent actions in accounting and auditing. Rosoff, Pontell & Tillman (2004) note how history is infamous for showing the many ways that institutions can create, distribute and store money, and how easy it is for employees to gain access to that money. The manner in which money is stored according to the authors, is partly to blame for the "evolution" of white-collar crime as they refer to it."

Abstract
This paper discusses why a white-collar job offers workers much more than just prestige.

From the Paper
"Is prestige enough of a reason to get a white-collar job? Actually, no. There are several more important reasons that a white-collar job is better than a blue-collar job. A white-collar job accomplishes greater things for people, it generally provides a better living for the worker and his family and it is far more likely to result in better jobs for others as well as for the worker. A white-collar job accomplishes greater things for people because white-collar jobs influence economic factors and employment as..."

Abstract
The paper highlights white collar crime's pernicious effects, offers a serviceable definition of it, delineates some of the neglected victims of white collar crime, and finishes up by looking at how an attorney might argue, despite public pressure to the contrary, that deregulation of the business sector is a good thing even in the face of numerous allegations of corporate fraud and embezzlement. The paper shows how America's response to white collar crime is not without flaws, but the system works passably well - and is certainly more practical than any audacious attempt to wholly eradicate secretive white collar crime.

Abstract
This paper discusses white-collar crime. The essay argues that William J. Chambliss' theories offer a useful tool to understand white collar crime as systemic rather than as the result of individual moral lapses. The paper discusses these theories in detail, such as his view that white-collar crime is a result of capitalist societies.

From the Paper
"White Collar Crime White-collar crime is crime that is committed by corporations, or by salaried, professional individuals, or by people in business. It is non-violent, but it accounts for far greater financial losses than does street crime, and indeed is a far more serious problem. William J. Chambliss maintains that white-collar crime is a direct result of the capitalist societies in which it flourishes."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer analyzes the various aspects of lack of criminal accountability in regards to government deregulation and white-collar identity in America. The writer discusses that by realizing the scope of governmental and corporate collusion in deregulating laws that make corporations accountable for white-collar crime, the identities of those responsible are often abstracted by the private business institutions and legal ambiguities they represent. Furthermore, the writer maintains that the perception of the immaterial nature of items being stolen from companies also plays a part in decreasing the liability for corporate elites to be prosecuted in a court of law.

Abstract
The paper reveals that there are builders, bankers, and real estate agents that are part of a white-collar apparatus that can illegally disenfranchise homeowners to whom they are said to represent. The paper discusses how due to this often-interconnected group of people involved in making a sale, there is often critical conflicts of interest that arise when these types of criminals are caught.

Abstract
This case study produces a strategic analysis of Virgin Blue Airlines, which is a subsidiary of the Virgin Blue Group in Australia. The paper discusses how Virgin Blue Airlines operates a fleet of 53 Boeing aircraft and maintains more than 2200 flights weekly in the Australian market. The paper also relates that in November of 2007, the airline is planning on adding routes to New Zealand as well. The paper reaches the consensus that the company is innovative and willing to embrace change as evidenced by its unique integration of kiosk check-in stations in its airports as well as web-based customer check-in functionality available at the consumers' homes. The paper further asserts that the company is an outperformer and recommends a strategy that Virgin Blue should expand its Web-based functionality to include customer web-pages hosted by the company that integrate its current frequent-flier programs, Web check-in functions, and related technologies that are integrated solutions in its customer relationship management platform.

Abstract
This paper examines the film, "Blue Velvet," directed by David Lynch. Specifically, it discusses mise-en-scene and cinematography in the film. It looks at how David Lynch is a master of the film noir, dark and brooding types of films that disturb, disquiet, and titillate, all at the same time, and how "Blue Velvet" is no exception. It discusses how the film is part blue porn flick, part girl-next-door love story, and part sadistic kidnapping, and how the elements all blend together to form a cohesive whole because of Lynch's masterful use of mise-en-scene staging and cinematography. "Blue Velvet," even with its happy ending, leaves the viewer wanting more, somehow and that, too, seems to be just what Lynch intended.

From the Paper
"Mise-en-scene is a French term describing the "director's text" or staging of a film, and in "Blue Velvet," David Lynch's intricate and often surreal staging is an integral part of the film. He arranges space and time in the film with such dark and dreamlike qualities that the film can be nothing more than memorable and yet quite disturbing at the same time a true mark of Lynch's film and a tribute to his mise-en-scene. The most compelling visual motif in the film is of course the color blue. Lynch stages action around the color to keep it always in the memory of the viewers. The film opens with a sensuous scene of blue velvet fabric undulating on the screen, the theme continues from the background music to the clearly blue cigarette smoke issuing from the cigarettes of the characters, and in fact, Dorothy, the nightclub singer and sado-masochist, is known as "The Blue Lady" in her act."
