From the Paper
"Based upon my routine activities, I believe that the technology-mediated form of communication that de-centres face-to-face communication can best be seen in the text messaging and instant messaging modes of communication. In this paper, I will show how these new modes of communication de-centre face-to-face communication, as well as how they impact language use and language structure.

Abstract
This essay focuses on issues in the writing center community, but whereas previous research has focused on selling the writing center to colleagues this essay focuses on drawing students to the writing center program. The paper states that creating an open forum for writing tutors may help avoid "business as usual" in the writing center community. Further, the essay asserts that since the internal structure of the writing center has already been established, more focus on recruiting students to the center will help it become an academic force in its own right.

From the Paper
"As writing programs become established--our own UNCW's Writing Center included--selling the Writing Center becomes its own new niche; an enthusiastic administrator will have a new challenge for fellow staff and tutors. In effect, we have already looked in upon the writing center program, methods have been debated and tested, and writing centers exist--May we now turn to looking outward?"

Abstract
This paper reviews and analyzes Oliver Stone's film about the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. The paper focuses on the themes presented in the film, particularly that of hope. Although this review is positive toward the movie "World Trade Center," it does include some criticism toward the film. The reviewer concludes that the audience of "World Trade Center" should take away a message of hope.

From the Paper
"Some reviewers found the film too patriotic and flag-waving, and too religious in nature. Another critic writes, "The visual approach of 'World Trade Center,' heavy on the intense close-ups and fervent in its embrace of the characters' religious and patriotic strains, flies in the face of everybody's preconceptions about what a Stone film feels like" (Phillips). However, these are some of the things that helped the two men remain alive, and this seems as if it is a natural reaction to the unnatural events surrounding them. They turn to their spiritual side and introspection to help make some sense of their predicament and their lives. Above all, they realize they have everything in the world to live for, and they do not want to die. They realize they have made mistakes, and they want another chance to make things better if they survive. "

Abstract
This paper describes the phenomena of call centers being established in developing nations. First, the paper describes the evolution of call centers. Then, the writer describes the impact of globalization and the improvement of the Internet. The paper then uses the examples of India and the Philippines as developing nations that have become popular locations for call centers. The author describes how India and the Philippines had to adapt culturally in order to serve Western customers. The paper concludes with the warning that Indian and Philippine agents/employees should be aware of the danger of losing their own cultural and social identities.

From the Paper
"When global computerization or massive improvement on the Internet occurred, a lot of companies realized the savings to be had if they transferred their call center operations abroad - especially in poor countries. One of the primary benefits of which is that instead of paying a U.S.-based call center agent say an hourly wage of $10.00, a call center agent in an emerging economy can be paid $3.00 an hour - and this is not starvation wage for them. With the boom in the call center industry, the Philippines and India became one of the two countries with call centers catering to Western clienteles. The overwhelming reason for the choice is the English speaking population of the two nations hence; there would not be much of a language barrier."

Abstract
This paper examines the impact of Carl Rogers' person-centered theory on society. The author also considers the application of the theory as it relates to family, groups, interpersonal relationships, and conflict resolution. The goal of the theory and how its techniques are used in therapy is also discussed. The paper compares person-centered theory to other psychological theories, including a historical perspective. All of these issues are important and significant for a complete understanding of what person-centered theory really is and how it applies to many various facets of life.

From the Paper
"The primary issue in Carl Rogers' person-centered theory is what he terms the "actualizing tendency" (Rogers, 1980). This term refers to what is considered to be the inherent and the immutable tendency of all organisms, of course including human beings, to do many different things, including grow, expand, develop, differentiate, maintain themselves, restore themselves and realize their natures as much as they are able to and as well as they are able to under the circumstances that they are given (Barrett-Lennard, 1998). This actualizing tendency is seen as the basic characteristic of all organic life, including human life. Rogers (1980) expresses these ideas very well in stating that "The actualizing tendency can ... be thwarted or warped, but it cannot be destroyed without destroying the organism" (Rogers, 1980, p. I 19). "
