Abstract
This paper examines how today, jobs for ambitious and spiritually aware individuals do not only mean receiving a satisfying paycheck. Through a literature review, it looks at how job satisfaction is determined by various other factors and why today all the community colleges worldwide face the challenge of motivating their administrative staff, boosting their morale and maintaining high levels of job satisfaction among their administrative staff including managerial and executive members. It shows how the constant lack of interest in the job results in an alarming decrease in the degree of job satisfaction and ineffective leadership which directly affects the production level. It analyzes some ways of increasing job satisfaction of the administrative staff, the role of the community college chairperson and the attitude of the faculty and the CAOs in the community college environment which affects the job satisfaction of the administrative staff.
From the Paper
"On the same account, Coats (2000) investigated the impact of departmental chairperson's interpersonal comportment on the directly proportionate leadership effectiveness and the related job satisfaction of the administrative staff. Research indicated that successful community college chairpersons believed in establishing and maintaining cordial relationships with their admin staff as a means to accomplish challenging working milieu and highly contented and motivated workforce (Coats, 2000, p. 773- 783). Another study indicated that the job satisfaction of the presidents that is the top management determines the job satisfaction of the administrative staff in the community college ambience. Thereupon, uninterrupted communication lines must be present and justified needs of the community college presidents must be promptly answered in order to have a successful, motivated environment (Evans, G., Jr., & Honeyman, D., 1998, p. 47- 48)."

Abstract
This paper discusses discrimination against individuals with disabilities. The paper examines the history of this type of discrimination in America from the Disabilities Rights Movement to the inception of The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The paper also addresses conflict caused by comments made by Jerry Lewis, the MDA National Chairperson. The paper finds that while Lewis made discriminating slurs, his daily actions don't suggest a prejudice against those with disabilities. An annotated bibliography is included with the paper.
From the Paper
"Disabled war veterans expected and demanded that the government provide rehabilitation services and vocational training, after what serving their country ultimately cost them. Assistance and advancements were finally introduced, leading to a greater awareness of disability matters. However, despite the positive progress that enabled people with disabilities much greater independence, the lack of access to buildings and other public areas, still significantly limited their employment options ("A Brief History of the Disability Rights Movement")."

Abstract
This paper discusses why the prestigious Augusta National Golf Club excludes women from its membership roles. It discusses whether it is legal and, moreover, ethical, for a private club to exclude an American citizen based on gender. The paper focuses on the public relations battle which took place between the club's chairman, Hootie Johnson, and chairperson of the National Council of Women's Organizations, Martha Burk, over the club's exclusion of women from the club and the Masters Tournament which takes place each year. The paper explores Augusta National's public image following the confrontation and looks at how Burk threatened to turn one of America's most esteemed sporting events into a public relations nightmare for its sponsors. The paper looks at how successful her very public made-for-media strategy to challenge corporate America's commercial support of The Masters Tournament really was.
From the Paper
"Meanwhile, in the past few months, everyone of any stature in golf (Tiger Woods was most prominent among opinions expressed; he declined to take sides), in civil rights (Jesse Jackson announced he would lead the charge against the discrimination of women), and it seems, in the media, had an opinion on Augusta's refusal to admit women. Sandy Grady, writing in USA Today, noted that Augusta's power elite were so petrified that feminists will infiltrate their boys club, they announced this rule, according to the Augusta Chronicle: "Patrons will be asked to return to their cars and remove buttons, hats, or T-shirts that express any opinion, pro or con, on a social or political basis?." That would appear to be unconstitutional at the worst, and, at the least, blatant paranoia."
