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 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
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 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.

"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."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in real life, pimps and prostitutes have a very intense, often dysfunctional relationship that often includes abuse, drugs, and co-dependency. The author points out that, from the beginning of the relationship, the pimp is the boss, and the prostitute is the submissive partner in a business reputed to be the oldest profession in the world. The paper relates that one of the factors that keeps the pimp and prostitute so closely tied is the secrecy of the business; they have a bond that is held together by a mutual legal protection desire.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The relationship between a pimp and a prostitute depends on the reason the prostitute got into the business and what type of prostitute she or he becomes. The street hookers often have drug addictions or other dependency issues and are more inclined to give the pimp complete control over their lives. The prostitutes that command high wages, travel with corporate moguls and are expected to know several languages, remain knowledgeable about world events and present themselves as polished legitimate dates, have more clout when it comes to who they will allow to pimp for them and what type of person that pimp needs to be."
