Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the choice of single-sex, as opposed to co-ed institutions and points out that academic literature on the topic is sparse, with much of the literature that exists taking on the slant of the institution that sponsored it. The writer summarizes the research that exists in this subject area and looks at the impact on the students that attend these institutions. The writer concludes that literature on parental choice between same sex and co-educational school systems leaves many more questions than answers. In addition, the writer maintains that as market based school systems continue to grow in popularity, marketing style surveys will become more common in the future, as schools attempt to decipher the mystery behind parent decisions on school enrollment.

Conclusions

From the Paper
"These results for parental attitudes contained some surprising results. For instance, it was not expected that the experiences of the parents would play the significant role that they did in the study. This demonstrates that impact of emotional scars on parental educational choice. These results imply that parents that had negative experiences do not wish their children to have the same experience. There were no reasons given in the study for the reasons behind parents who had attended single-sex schools rejecting that choice for their children. This area presents an area that needs to be discovered further. Research needs to be conducted on what experiences and feeling led parents to this decision with their children.
"Further research into the topic of parental dissatisfaction with their educational experience in a single-sex setting could provide valuable clues as to the long-term emotional impact of single-sex education and of co-educational experiences. This represents an area that has not been studied extensively thus far."

Abstract
This paper states that, no matter what anyone does, the separatist issue in Quebec is never satisfactorily resolved and simply goes on being a bone of contention. The paper goes on to review the origins of the "Quebec issue" and identify the unique set of historical conditions from which the issue developed. The author of the paper argues that the British did all they could to set the stage for peaceful co-existence between Anglophones and Francophones in Canada; however, a sector of Quebecers has remained persistently opposed to peaceful co-operation and has kept alive the spirit of separatism.

From the Paper
"The Quebec Act, which was passed by the British Parliament in 1774, has justifiably been called statesmanlike. Certainly, it seems to have been a determined effort to deal in a just way with the unique circumstances in Quebec. It was also an inspired reply to the complex question the British government faced: "What would be a good law for a former French community, cut off from France, united to England, a close neighbor of American colonies, and now infiltrated with Englishmen and Americans?""

Abstract
This paper looks at the vast differences between the cultures of Native and European Americans and explains why, without significant compromise by both peoples, these cultural differences made peaceful co-existence between the groups untenable.

From the Paper
"Given the proper circumstances, the traditional Native American cultures could not have co-existed alongside European American cultures, with both remaining relatively intact and viable because of basic fundamental differences regarding land and life. Each culture respected their own heritage and felt no desire to change their ways for the other. The Native Americans might have made a fatal mistake by believing that they could co-exist with the Europeans while the Europeans, as demonstrated in Andrew Jackson's message, had no such intentions. Examining how each culture viewed these issues reveals how, without compromise, any attempts to co-exist were futile."

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence and types of psychoactive substance use disorders plus other non psychotic mental disorders among a population of homeless persons participating in a behavioral day treatment and contingency management drug treatment program. This study also examines the differences in severity of functioning by diagnostic status on admission to treatment and the effect of diagnostic status on treatment outcome. In this article, the writer examines whether there are effective ways to treat co occurring / existing disorders simultaneously instead of using a multitude of techniques. In addition, the writer determines the amount of supporting documentation on effective treatment methods, as well as possible data on other effective methods and methods that may have been proven ineffective or untimely. This study also serves as current research on what characteristics have been determined to create co-occurring / existing disorders.

From the Paper
"Although there are treatments for a multitude of disorders that exists there is very little known about methods that treat these disorders simultaneously. Therefore, there is a need to determine if there are co current methods are they effective, how much is known about them, and if there are not currently any methods, are there ways to develop methods that will work on a combination of disorders simultaneously. Co occurring/existing disorders exists, treating these disorders has occurred through numerous channels, this often may cause some distress on the part of the patient; it is also possible that methods may contradict each other in certain aspects. One of the most significant problems is the lack of research on methods to treat co occurring/existing disorders. There is also a lack of information on why co occurring/existing disorders occur, as well as what possible indicators are there that may help clinicians predetermine when co occurring/existing disorders will occur."

From the Paper
"Through our partnership with Firestone we learned many lessons. Together, we gained valuable insight into the importance of ensuring the quality of the products we make. Important as these evolving notions of corporate citizenship are, they build on what we consider to be the most basic element of citizenship: assuring the safety of those who trust us enough to drive our cars and trucks. Our customers have the same basic understanding: they always have expected us to make safe products and to take action when we discover a safety defect. We've learned that we must seek out new ways to review our suppliers' design and manufacturing processes. In the future, we plan to take a more active role in obtaining and analyzing data maintained by our suppliers concerning the performance of components used in our vehicles."

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines if there are effective ways to treat co-occurring / co-existing disorders simultaneously instead of using a multitude of techniques. Another aspect of this study is to determine the amount of supporting documentation on effective treatment methods, as well as possible data on other effective methods and methods that may have been proven ineffective or untimely. This study also serves as current research on what characteristics have been determined to create co-occurring / co-existing disorders. The writer points out that people with alcohol use disorders often have co-occurring psychiatric disorders, but they frequently do not receive specialized substance abuse treatment that addresses both conditions. The writer also notes that although pharmacological and psychosocial treatments for alcohol use disorders and psychiatric disorders can be integrated to help these patients, relatively few clinical studies have tested these types of treatments. The writer concludes that as mental health and substance abuse facilities expand their services for patients with dual disorders, further research is needed to guide the treatment of this patient population.

From the Paper
"Over the past few decades, there has been research that describes different disorders and treatments. However, a situation, which exists, is that of co-occurring disorders also called coexisting disorders. An important aspect of co-occurring/existing disorders is what treatment methods exists and are they effective, as well as if there are methods of providing these treatments in a combined manner through one method, instead of having patients using multiple treatment methods. When a mental health professional searches for effective ways to treat a patient it is imperative that those chosen methods be effective and in a timely fashion. Another important aspect is what causes these co occurring/existing disorders to occur in the first place. If information can be found that gives a conclusive reason for why co occurring/ existing disorders happen, then researchers may be able to create methods that will be able to stop co occurring/existing disorders for happening or at least decrease the likelihood of them occurring so prevalently."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Draconian laws of Singapore, which would hardly be tolerated in Europe and North America, have gone without much criticism from other democracies. Singapore still enjoys a reputation of being a successful example of democracy in a region that has suffered much political instability. The author points out that, although Singapore is a parliamentary republic, the People's Action Party (PAP) has had a politic monopoly ever since the United Kingdom granted Singapore its independence. Opposition parties do exist and contest elections, but the PAP holds 80 of 83 elected parliamentary seats (1 is vacant) and all the ministerial positions. The paper relates that the penal code permits caning, in addition to imprisonment, as punishment for some 30 offenses involving the use of violence or threat of violence against a person, such as rape and robbery and for such non-violent offenses as vandalism, drug trafficking and violation of immigration laws.

From the Paper
"But do Singapore's ends justify the country's means? Although Singaporeans go to the polls once every five years and many people thus are under the impression that Singapore is a democracy, the country's leader are not at all shy about their hostility to Western-style liberal democracy. Following January 2000's general election, won by the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) in a landslide, Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong said the result showed Singaporeans had "rejected Western-style liberal democracy and freedoms." Education Minister Teo Chee Hean has said that "a two party system would put us on the dangerous road to contention when we should play as one team", while Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew recently told Hong Kong people not to "waste time talking about democracy. There never was any democracy in Hong Kong in the first place."

Abstract
The conflict between determinism and free will is a long-standing one. It is one of those philosophical issues that might never be fortunate enough to receive a unanimously agreed upon solution, and, for this reason, it is up to each person how he views the issues and seeks to resolve it. This paper explains that, as with most philosophical theories, the relationship of determinism and free will is a contentious issue because they oppose each other, and in order to support one, you need to give up the other. It is generally believed that the two cannot exist together for they are in conflict with each other and, thus, are incompatible. This paper provides definitions of the terms in order to help the reader decide whether the two are compatible or not and if free will has any place in the doctrine of determinism.

From the Paper
"Determinism therefore ignores the role of choices or moral responsibility and primarily focuses on the role of previous events or cause in the creation of a new event. For example, when a person misbehaves with an elderly determinism would free him of his moral responsibility to have behaved more properly and instead study the causes of his behavior. Determinists believe that behind every current event is a past cause or event and keeping this view in mind, we would probably acquit the misbehaving person and instead accuse those past causes and events that mad him behave the way he did."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Male culture tends to be removed from emotion and more reserved to reason. Pragmatism, function over form, is a big part of the co-culture in contrast to irrational emotions. Being overly emotional for a boy can lead to being called names like girly or sissy. To be compared to a woman demeans a man's masculinity and status. Emotion is in opposition to logic and reason, and directly associated with the female. To combat loosing status by being unmanly, men are more detached than women from their emotions. They react to larger passions like anger and love, which are considered appropriate to react to, and not the brief fleeting feelings of everyday aspects of life. Such emotions are considered trivial, and would distract from getting things done. Not only do emotions hamper progress, but they make a man look weak, demeaning his authority and status."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the main concept put forward in Grudin's book that people do not make the best use of their time and looks at the way this philosophy explains much about our time oriented society. The paper examines society's preoccupation with time, and the way the author encourages the reader to think more about their goals and aspirations, rather than their day-to-day existence. The paper admires Grudin's effective arguments yet criticizes his use of duplication throughout the book.

From the Paper
"One important theme Grudin talks about in the book is how we are "impoverished in time" (Grudin 6). This is an interesting and compelling thought, and bears deeper investigation. Literally, all we have in life is time, and yet, there is never enough of it. Grudin explains this phenomenon in a variety of ways, but ultimately breaks it down between people who look toward the future, and people who can only see their day-to-day existence."
