Abstract
An argumentative essay discussing the occurrence of co-dependence among women, how it can be dealt with, and what some causes may be. The author looks at women in physical and mentally abusive relationships.
From the Paper
"There are many women today who are in relationships that are abusive either physically or emotionally. What's worse is that many of these women stay in the abusive relationships or go from one abusive relationship to another throughout the course of their lives. When asked why, some common replies are that their partner doesn't't really treat them badly, they have a lot of good qualities, or that he says he will change. The truth of the matter is, these women stay in abusive relationships because they are codependent and this is a problem that needs to be dealt with."

From the Paper
"The dynamics of codependency have long been misunderstood by the counseling profession, which has primarily been due to several reasons. Foremost is that there has been little recognition of codependency as an entity within and, of, itself. That is, the counseling profession once thought that codependents were the "normal" partners in dysfunctional marriages. Second, and resultant to this problem, is that there has not been in existence until recently the availability of an empirically- and theoretically-focused model for codependency. Third, given the codependency had become recognized as an entity and the availability of a model, there arose difficulties in the counseling profession deciding upon the most effective treatment modality. As a result of this dissensus, there are differing ... "

From the Paper
'The purpose of this research is to examine the situation of the codependent of an alcoholic in situations where the codependent may act as emotional and perhaps physical caregiver of the alcoholic. The plan of the research will be to set forth relevant operating definitions, and then to explore the elements of codependency that would affect the codependent positively or negatively. Throughout, reference will be made to the effects that the "care" response has upon the caregiver's perception of self and of alcoholic.
Gilligan's definitions of dependency and of care are set forth as aspects of studies of the moral development of girls and women vis-?-vis such studies of boys and men. Her principal point appears to be to suggest that prevalent moral-development theory, which focuses chiefly on an ethic or morality of rights ... "

Abstract
An investigation into the psychology of distress and codependency as a result of feminine behavior and characteristics. The writer looks at the classification within psychology and general society of women's behavior as pathological and addresses the issues related to this. The paper includes a review of relevant literature citing a number of references to the topic. The writer then looks at popular self-help books as relevant to this so-called pathology. The research is aimed at a validation of the construct "codependency" and uses a real experiment with analytical results to present the conclusions.
From the Paper
"The goal of this investigation is to investigate the construct of "codependency." A literature review indicates that codependency is an imperfect construct, one that confounds traditional measures of femininity with judgments of varying degrees of pathology. The problem of classifying women's behavior as pathological is widespread in the field of psychology, as well as in the general public, and needs to be addressed. An assumption that feminine behavior is pathological automatically places women in a position of inferiority, which they must then make efforts to overcome."

Abstract
This paper explains that one of the more serious effects of drug and alcohol abuse is the phenomena of co-dependence; others members may resort to drug and alcohol consumption to relieve stress, and this may lead to the spread of this disease in the whole family. The author points out that children in such families are more seriously affected than adults because of the children's inability to comprehend the situation or cope with it. The paper stresses that drug and alcohol addiction can have negative impact on the community as well, as illustrated by the well-documented correlation between addiction and increased criminal behavior.
From the Paper
"Children may even begin holding themselves responsible for drug abuse within the family. This is because the child is cognitively unable to make sense of the situation and thus he loses self-esteem, becomes socially isolated, and develops feelings of intense guilt and shame. Children in affected families exhibit poor academic performance, social isolation, psychological and emotional problems etc. Disintegration of family unit and increased domestic violence has also been found to result from the presence of a drug addict within the family. Research found that children with a drug addict parent are likely to take over as parent to fill the vacant space in the family unit. Drug addicts usually shun their important responsibilities as parents, which results in children taking on the role of a responsible adult. However, this can be detrimental in the long run when these children become parents themselves. The research found that such children might abandon their own families once they become parents."

Abstract
This paper state that nurses, who are in need of rehabilitation, often find it very difficult to seek help because alcohol and drug addiction is considered to be a moral stigma rather than a physical disease, especially within the nursing profession. The author points out that, when a nurse is a victim of escalating addiction, it is not only in the interest of the nurse to help her but also in the interest of patients, the hospital, and the nursing profession in general. The paper relates that nurses are reluctant to report their addicted colleagues because of fears of what their colleagues may go through in terms of scandal and social misunderstanding, of causing a rift in friendships, of spreading rumors and (4) of being a trouble maker.
From the Paper
"The successful image radiated by many of the nurses with substance problems also makes it difficult for those around them to realize that there is a problem. When the problem does manifest itself, it is therefore already in its advanced stages. A further ethical problem is the reporting issue. According to Dunn (2005) and indeed according to the paradigm of the nursing profession, nurses have an ethical obligation to report harmful activities that may result in harm to patients. Patients' rights in this regard are very important."

Abstract
In this paper, the author takes a case study of a family, where the husband/father is a drunk. The author defines the mother and children as codependents for a number of reasons. Mainly it is because the family covers up for the drinking problem of the husband/father and defends him to others, which makes him feel that the family is supporting his problem. The paper continues to discuss this co-dependency which is often known as a family disease. The author suggests that many times, either through ignorance or fear, individuals and/or families may actually prevent an alcoholic from fully facing the fact of a drinking problem. In this particular case study, the author tells us that the drunk died of cirrhosis of the liver as a result of the heavy drinking. The author concludes that by attending a counseling support program and supporting each other, the family that the drunk left behind, is likely to move forward on a path that is free of co-dependence.
From the Paper
"Patrick got married at the age of 18 years, during his prime. He and his wife, Martha, a 27 year old woman, had five children during the course of 8 years. Throughout their marriage Patrick had a need to hide from others and began to associate only with people who drank. Patrick began to cheat on his wife and seek the company of other women, after he and Martha had their third child. Martha was well aware of her husbands drinking and cheating ways early on in their courtship; however, she felt that as time went on, things would get better. Martha knew her husband had, over the years, become an alcoholic; however, she still wanted to attempt to save the marriage."

Abstract
This paper explains that Ira Berlin's book "Many Thousands Gone" demonstrates that the meaning of slavery and of race itself was constantly changing as the nation moved toward independence: (1) Beginning in the early seventeenth century, the Charter Generation of slavery was a society with "black" slaves, indentured servants and Atlantic creoles whose position was determined by social and economic status and not by color; (2) The Plantation Generation, whose wearing labor was the sole meaning of black society and, (3) finally, the Revolutionary Generation who represent a freed black society. The author points out that, even in the worst of circumstances, slaves always held a strong card, the threat of rebellion; and, through negotiation, slaves not only carved out an independent social sphere but also they created their own world. The paper relates that, in each generation, slaves' and masters' correlation and co-dependence as well as the political and economical influence of slavery were important influences in the history-making of America.
From the Paper
"Ira Berlin described the political impact in all three generations. The primary reason for slaves, indentured servants and Atlantic Creoles to be imported into America was to work the hard fields and other tasks white colonials could not do. Although in the Charter Generation slaves could become masters and own slaves, whites did not allowed too long for this inferior society to compete with them. For example, Anthony Johnson, an Atlantic Creole who gained his freedom after many years of labor, struggled to negotiate and deal with white colonials. "Vulnerable black people paid premium prices for goods and services that white men and women bought cheaply," Berlin described."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Windows Server 2003 Operating System (OS) uses the most important features of Windows 2000 Server technology but makes it simpler to install, manage and use, resulting in an extremely high productive infrastructure, which aids in making the network a strategic asset for an organization. The author points out that Microsoft has enhanced and extended Windows Server OS by including the advantages of 'Microsoft NET' for linking up people, systems and devices. The paper relates that the Active Directory, the integrated, distributed directory service that comes with Microsoft Windows Server 2003, helps the administrator of the organization add a user to Active Directory by means of a single entry, permits remote access to the network, enables the identical user account for exchange messaging and co-ordinates the same user with database access for accounting, client relationship management or other applications.

From the Paper
"The impact of the defunct action is reversible, and it does not purge schema objects from the database, but instead "takes them out of order." such that it is possible to reuse them. The schema re-define is enabled at the Windows Server 2003 forest functional level. Apart from that, adding new attributes to the global catalog does not cause GCs to perform full synchronization like it used to. Windows Sever 2003 replicates only added attributes between Windows Server 2003 domain controllers. It will again do a full synchronization when the destination is a Windows 2000 DC. However, the biggest change in case of Applications in Windows Server 2003 Active Directory is the capability to create Application Partitions which are basically partitions in Active Directory similar to other partitions (Domain, Configuration, Schema), however can be created on any DC in the forest and duplicated to any other DC in the forest by choice."
