Abstract
Carla S. Freeman described the importance of fashionable clothing to new data entry work done by Barbadian women due to globalization. (2000) Traditional and new class divisions; respectability versus reputation as axis of British-influenced culture versus Afro-Caribbean culture; women's mixed feelings about work that does bring them some respectability and also flexibility. some reference to (2005) work on the new Middle class in Barbados.

Clothing, Dress & Professionalism - Carla S. Freeman & Barbadian Informatics Workers. Introduction Carla S. Freeman studied Barbadian women employed in outsourced informatics firms as part of a number of shifts brought by globalization. (2000) In High Tech & High Heels in the Global Economy - Women, Work and Pink Collar Identities in the Caribbean, she has provided much detail on a new working cum low middle class culture that involves young women as well as mature householders pleased by employment opportunities they find tedious but also sources of respectability.

Abstract
The paper uses Rudolfo Anaya's "Bless Me Ultima", Carla Trujillo's "Chicana Lesbians", and Manuel Munoz' "Good As Yesterday," to demonstrate the various aspects of Chicano culture and family relations that make it difficult for individuals whose identities are beyond the rigid boundaries of this patriarchal society. From sexuality and religion to gender roles and support networks, the essay demonstrates how being "different" in Chicano culture often presents the individual with significant conflict and challenges.

From the Paper
"In Rudolfo Anaya's "Bless Me Ultima", Carla Trujillo's "Chicana Lesbians" and Manuel Munoz' "Good As Yesterday" we learn a great deal about Chicano family and culture, including gender roles, sexuality and other aspects of family and culture. In "Bless Me Ultima", we see how Antonio comes of age and comes to a fuller appreciation of the energy of the earth and nature from the curandera healer who stays with his family in New Mexico. We learn that only those who remain young at..."

Abstract
The paper reveals that the popular "over-the-counter" drug, Accutane, has long been recognized as an effective tool in the battle against unsightly acne, however, the drug has recently come under fire because of findings that it may indeed create health complications for users that far exceed any discomfort produced by facial acne. The paper explores two brief articles written by Andrew Bridges and by Carla K. Johnson, respectively, and point out the relative strengths and weaknesses of both. In so doing, the paper argues that Johnson's paper appears to be the more impressive and persuasive because she is more open than is Bridges about the research methodologies which guide her implicit assumptions.

Abstract
The paper explores two articles written by Andrew Bridges and by Carla K. Johnson respectively and points out the relative strengths and weaknesses of both. The paper argues that Johnson's paper appears to be the more impressive and persuasive because she is more open than is Bridges about the research methodologies which guide her implicit assumptions. The paper concludes that Johnson does a marginally better job than Bridges in drawing a linkage between Accutane/Isotretinoin and various health maladies.

From the Paper
"Whereas Johnson's article appears to emphasize the possible liver and heart problems associated with habitual use of Accutane, Andrew Bridges' newspaper article emphasizes instead the problems many physicians and would-be users are having in accessing the drug because of tight federal regulations designed to limit the exposure of pregnant women to the medication (para.1-3). In that sense, Bridges' discussion of the topic is far less rewarding than Johnson's for the very simple reason that the former fails to explore the full ramifications of Isotretinoin (Accutane) upon the health of Americans. In that respect, his article may be adjudged problematic."

Abstract
This paper examines how the film, "The Other Sister", portrays a developmentally delayed woman named Carla Tate who has been extremely sheltered for most of her life, by both her family and her educational system. It discusses how the film suggests that Carla is a highly functioning and compassionate woman, despite her disability. It also discusses how despite the positive portrayal of mentally challenged individuals, critics have felt that the film's treatment of the condition is very patronizing.

From the Paper
"The main problems, the film suggests, lie not with Carla's inherent abilities but the ways that Carla's family has reacted to her disorder, with a near-pathological sense of over-protectiveness. Because the family has another child of normal intelligence, the family tends to constantly measure Carla's functionality against their older daughter, who is highly capable, intelligent, and gets married over the course of the film. This family tension underlines the fact that mental retardation does not always have a clear, organic cause. Thus the fact that mentally challenged individuals often exist with in the context of a so-called normal home means that parents often have difficulties understanding what their child is or is not capable of achieving or understanding, in comparison to themselves or other siblings."

Abstract
The paper examines the Orem model that is particularly used in rehabilitation and primary care settings where the patient is encouraged to be as independent as possible. The paper presents an example of the Orem Care Plan model using a fictional movie family from the show "The Other Sister." The writer explores the family and includes environmental and self-care directives for the family members. The paper emphasizes that the Orem model is a model that is founded in the belief that humans will self-direct care once they are given the tools to do so. This model is used to examine the phases and steps in the model and to demonstrate how a model of self-care can be designed and implemented to accommodate individual needs.

From the Paper
"The family unit consists of a father, a mother and two adult daughters. One adult daughter is a regularly functioning adult who does not live in the home. She is married and resides with her spouse and her children nearby.
"The second adult daughter, C still resides at home with her parents. She is mentally retarded. She is enrolled in a mainstream high school and receives special education and is ready to graduate with an attendance diploma."

Abstract
In "Dimensions of Imperial Control: The Vijayanagara Capital," Carla Sinopoli and Kathleen Morrison confront this difficulty in archaeological investigation, attempting a more cautious and evidence-based analysis of the sites of power in and around the capital city of the Vijayanagara empire. They begin their assessment, rightly, with a basic ideological assumption about the nature of archaeology of ancient empires: overarching models that describe imperial control and loci of power that are relatively useless.

From the Paper
"Archaeology can be a frustrating discipline. The scholars who form the ranks of the world's archaeological institutions spend lifetimes sifting through scant clues to reconstruct the intimate details of civilizations long gone. Mistakes are easily made. Evidence is easily misinterpreted. It takes years of pointed training to develop the practical and intellectual skills to draw some meaningful conclusions regarding the characteristics of the ancient world. It's somewhat akin to trying to solve a murder mystery with only the briefest of clues that happened thousands of years prior. (In fact, Bob Brier--a famous Egyptologist--did just that, working to solve what he concluded was the murder of Tutankhamen)."
