Abstract
This process analysis offers a guide for women who tend to settle for less than they deserve in the dating arena. The paper presents a list of characteristics that women should look for in a potential boyfriend--sweet and unique, honorable and ethical, ambitious, communicative and cooperative. The author argues that even though the process of finding the right guy is challenging, girls can easily prevent themselves from dating uninteresting guys by looking for these qualities in the men they meet.

From the Paper
" Essentially, women have been looking for the man of their dreams since the idea of the perfect guy was created. Every woman wants that flawless relationship, yet she continuously runs herself into situations that are anything but picture perfect. According to the U.S. Health and Human Services Department, "The annual per capita divorce rate for the 12 months ending in June, 2007 -- the latest figures currently available -- show an annual rate of 0.34 divorces (i.e., 0.68 people getting divorced) for every 100 people in the population" (cdc.gov). Such high divorce statistics often scare couples into not getting married. The statistic also indicates that woman are getting into relationships for the wrong reasons. Before any man or woman decides to marry, he or she has to see herself living the rest of her life with that one person. Nonetheless, these statistics display that there is something wrong with the reasons people choose to be together. Absolutely every girl wants to find her prince charming, but realistically, there will not be any dream man. Luckily, a compatible loving person is very possible to find; there are just a couple central qualities and characteristics every girl needs to look for. These next few qualities are key to finding the right guy."

Abstract
This paper discusses Valentine's Day and looks at its history and the role that Saint Valentine played in the history of this special day. It also explains the history behind the little cherub called Cupid. The paper further points out that there are nine different types of love and briefly explains each one. The paper further discusses how Valentine's Day continues to be important in America and how people buy flowers, chocolates, cards and other items as a way to express their love to their spouses or girlfriends/boyfriends.

From the Paper
"The first place to begin the study of Valentine's Day is with Saint Valentine. The story of Saint Valentine cannot be proven but many people believe he was a priest named Valentine who lived in the days of the emperor of Rome named Claudius the Cruel (Good Saint Valentine). When war broke out in Rome, men did not want to leave their wives or fiances so they refused to go to war. This made the king angry and he created an order that forbid men from becoming engaged. Valentine, the priest, did not agree with this so in secret he would marry couples."

Abstract
This paper is a research into the current trends in HIV and AIDS in America, with the main focus on the demographics of people who are newly infected with the disease. Areas that are discussed include infection rates among various racial and age groups. The author also focuses on the growing sexual subculture with gay and bisexual minorities called the 'down low', which is changing the face of HIV and AIDS as many unsuspecting women are now getting HIV and AIDS from their husbands and boyfriends. Statistics are also provided to reinforce the fact that HIV and AIDS is changing its demographic path. Suggestions are also provided to help eliminate this impeding HIV and AIDS crisis.

From the Paper
"HIV and AIDS have also increased in the Latino population. Approximately 40,000 people are infected with the HIV virus each year in the United States. 19 percent of these new cases are Latinos, even though they only comprise 13 percent of the population. HIV is the fourth leading cause of death for Latinos aged 25 to 44 in 2002. One factor that plays a role in this increase is that many people in the Latino community are in the United States illegally and are afraid to come forward for treatment and testing for fear of deportation. As a result of this fear, they are not as informed of the preventative measures that need to be taken to avoid being infected with HIV and AIDS. Another reason for this increase is the number of Latino men who are in prison and engaging in risky sexual activity while behind bars. They in turn infect their girlfriends or wives when they are released from prison. (Smith, 2004)."

From the Paper
"In the film Fear (Foley, 1996), a young high-school girl, Nicole, becomes involved in an abusive relationship with a young man whose dangerous nature may attract her in some degree before it is revealed to be as violent and homicidal as it truly is. Such relationships are not uncommon--just as spousal abuse is a major problem for adults, so is that kind of abuse mirrored in adolescent relationships in which young males trying to develop their sense of power may do so in the wrong way, using their girl friends as targets for their anger and their ego. The girls for their part may be acting out social roles they have seen elsewhere, perhaps in their parents, perhaps in media depictions, and perhaps in others in their class. The film depicts the way this relationship develops in a context of adolescence that reflects the nature of that time of life and the vulnerabilities.."

Abstract
This paper critiques the words of the song "It's My Party" by Leslie Gore which depicts a woman of unknown age who is celebrating an important occasion in her life, only to find that the celebration is marred by the loss of her boyfriend. It discusses how the song portrays a woman in conflict, who has a lack of self, a bruised ego, and has some repressed feelings and emotions that allow her to become emotionally distraught by the behavior of others. It examines how she appears to be co-dependent and incapable of finding worth just in being with herself and how she needs validation from others. Only when she feels that another is in pain and that she has Johnny back, does she find equilibrium again.

From the Paper
"Perhaps, she is employing an inverted look at her life. How can Johnny, her fantasy man be causing her such pain? She does not seem to be able to distinguish between fantasy and reality enough to realize that if indeed Johnny is real and this is her birthday party, then the pain is real. It is the reality of the moment and the event that is causing her pain, not the fantasy that she has created.

People make numerous transformations throughout their life and the individual epitomized in the lyrics of this song has not learned that life does not always provide immediate gratification. She indicates that she is wallowing in her pain by dancing alone, that she wants to be left alone and that only Johnny can make her happy."

Abstract
This paper first presents a scenario of a teenage girl that is "in love" with her 17-year-old boyfriend who us encouraging her to have sex with him saying that he will make sure they only have "protected" sex. The paper then uses several different analytical approaches to determining if the girl should advance into a sexual relationship with her boyfriend. The paper presents a rich factual knowledge analysis of the scenario, a rich procedural knowledge analysis, a lifespan contextualism analysis, a relativistic analysis, and an uncertainty analysis.

From the Paper
"A rich factual knowledge analysis would emphasize the fact that virginity is almost always a much more significant issue to females than to males, at least in terms of the emotional consequences of choosing to become fully sexually active with the wrong person. That point of view would suggest that the progression to full sexual intercourse should be mutually desired to minimize the likelihood of regrets after the fact by the reluctant partner. According to this view, the same act of sexual intercourse would be much more advisable where one partner never needed to encourage the other."

The writer relates; "My name is Lyric and I am 15 years old. I live with my mother and her boyfriend. My mother's boyfriend moved in with us two years ago. At first, my world consisted of my mother and me until he moved in. My mother enrolled me in a parochial school since the age of four. I enjoyed myself in school with my friends until my grades started slipping, so my mother decided to enroll me into a county public school for one year prior to entering high school. I was scared to go to high school because life was so grand and basically easy, I didn't have to worry about anything."

Abstract
According to Sue, Sue and Sue (1994) domestic violence can be defined as physical abuse committed by a spouse, a former spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend, or a cohabitant upon another person in the family. Reiss and Roth (1993) report that domestic violence occurs, on average, every 15 seconds in the United States alone, which translates to more than 2.5 million victims each year.

"ANGER AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Introduction
According to Sue, Sue and Sue (1994) domestic violence can be defined as physical abuse committed by a spouse, a former spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend, or a cohabitant upon another person in the family. Reiss and Roth (1993) report that domestic violence occurs, on average, every 15 seconds in the United States alone, which translates to more than 2.5 million victims each year. The authors further note that males are far more likely than females to be the perpetrators of domestic violence.

While there are many factors that play an etiologic and/or contributory role in acts of domestic violence, one of the most important of these is anger (Sue, Sue & Sue, 1994). The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of anger as it relates to domestic violence..."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Vincent Bugliosi's "Outrage," who recounts and attacks all the problems and mistakes he believes were made in the trial of OJ Simpson, and the reasons why Simpson was not convicted for the murder of his ex-wife and her boyfriend.

From the Paper
"Author Vincent Bugliosi states that O.J. Simpson's acquittal is one of the most gross cases of injustice in the history of the legal system. He claims that O.J. walked not because he is innocent of the murders, but rather, that the circumstances surrounding the evidence, the weak and flawed case presented by the prosecution, the legal gaffs made my Judge Lance Ito, and that pertinent and damaging evidence was left out of the court proceedings all contributed to Simpson's verdict of innocent. The result is that O.J. "walked." "
