Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses an experiment in which a person refrained from complaining for a 60 hour period and discusses the experience. The writer identifies how complaining operates in everyday life and looks at its effects and its influence over the presentation and perception of personality.

From the Paper
"This essay presents an overview of a 60 hour period during which the writer elected to abstain from complaining in order to identify how complaining operates in everyday life its effects and its influence over the presentation and perception of personality. Most significantly this experimental study demonstrated to the writer that abstaining from complaining is all but impossible in that the challenges of everyday life are such that there are many occasions even in a brief period of time when a complaint or expression of ..."

Abstract
This paper relates the case of Misty Mountain Inc., a mining company, which is facing multiple discrimination charges by the U.S. Department of Labor for having illegally discriminated and dismissed two local miners who complained about hazards, thus infringing the federal Mine Safety and Health Act. The author points out that this charge is based on the federal Mine Safety and Health Act, 1977, which bars companies from dismissing or harassing miners who deny work in hazardous circumstances and report matters regarding threat of safety at workplaces. The paper contends that the MSHA is juggling with the statistics of miners' deaths, which is a problem, because precise reporting of injuries related to mining activities is important to the persistent enhancement in the occupational safety in the mines of the country.

From the Paper
"In yet another case Castle, Mystic Energy Inc, mine employee, lost his life on July 26 in the mine premises when his vehicle dashed with a coal truck on a company haul road. MSHA has failed to take cognizance of the accident and has not termed it as 'chargeable'. Even though the policy of MSHA is unequivocal as regards workers/miners who lose their lives on the premises of the mines, the death of that worker is chargeable. Within the ambit of the definition of worker is included not just mine employees, but even salesmen, delivery people or others with business interests at the mine site."

Abstract
In his poem, "Womanhod, wanton, ye want", John Skelton releases his frustrated, but still affectionate irritation at a woman whose awesome ability to pester seems to match his ability to complain. This paper looks at the different faces of "Womanhod's" Mistress Anne and the "key" to her personality. It looks into Skelton's possible portrayals of Anne as Madonna, minx and mundane through his imagery and language eccentricities.

From the Paper
"For all the hybridity in his form and accents, Skelton's line of reasoning is extremely direct. In the first stanza, he establishes the contradictory character of Mistress Anne, followed by the second stanza with his first condemnation of her irregular personality, supported by an example of her unproductive meddling. The third and fourth stanzas makes a concession about the sweetness of her features, but then weighs that boon once again against the many dangers of her insecure tongue. This poem, written by an idiosyncratic poet in a transient period in an unconventional style about a waffling, wavering woman is strangely thorough and resolute in its convictions about women as a group."

Abstract
This paper explains that women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) complain of irritability, anger, tension, marked depressed mood, mood lability, lethargy, sleep disturbance, limited concentration and many physical symptoms to such a degree of severity that their quality-of-life is seriously compromised. The author points out that inhibitors of serotonin reuptake, fluoxetine (Sarafem), may be an effective therapy. The paper states that PMS and PMDD are far more common in a woman's later years of fertility because these syndromes are caused by the lower estrogen levels and higher progesterone levels found more commonly in the latter half of a woman's reproductive life.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Rubinow and Schmidt note that unlike mood disorders associated with the abnormal function of other endocrine glands (e.g., the adrenal or thyroid glands), PMS occurs in the context of normal ovarian function. The question then is why different women have different responses to what is ostensibly the same stimulus. This question is central to understanding behavior and is currently best addressed by studies in animals. Pharmacologic sensitization, kindling, and conditioning provide experimental models in which both the biologic and behavioral responses to a given stimulus are profoundly altered and determined by past experience with the stimulus. In these models, a stimulus that originally produces little or no effect may change the biologic substrate in a way that dramatically increases the severity of behavioral effects, purely as a function of repetition and the passage of time. Although the relevance of these models to PMS is uncertain, it is noteworthy that PMS is most frequently observed more than a decade after the initiation of ovarian cyclicity."

Abstract
Racial profiling, when used with other criminal indicators, can be a very powerful tool for crime fighters. This paper argues that it can help to narrow the number of suspects that police must look at when trying to make an arrest for a crime or even prevent one. As some people and organizations complain about the use of racial profiling, calling it a racist act, law enforcement cannot do its job properly without being harshly criticized. It explains that it is possible that a few innocent people may be inconvenienced as a result of racial profiling, but it something that people must learn to deal with if they want to live in a world with less crime.

From the Paper
"Sgt. Mike Lewis is a good cop that has been ridiculed due to the area that he works in. There is a larger concentration of black men smuggling drugs in this area, so it would only make sense that he is arresting more blacks. Not everyone sees it this way. Some people feel that he is unfairly targeting black males and either harassing or arresting them. For this reason, he has begun to overlook some traffic violations of blacks so that he can avoid being called a racist. By doing this he is most likely allowing a greater number of criminals to make it through his area unscathed. He isn't the only one that is shying away from pretext stops of minorities. Officers across the nation are letting some offenders go in order to protect them selves from criticism. Their job is hard enough without everyone with an opinion telling them how to do it. Police officers should be able to do their jobs without having to constantly worry about what group or organization is looking over their back at any given time."

Abstract
Food and dietary habits vary from region to region; mostly guided by cultural preferences, access to resources and income levels. This paper discusses how it has often found that western countries rarely ever complain of malnutrition problem, while it persists in third world countries. The reason for this is grounded in income levels and access to resources. The writer points out that most developing countries heavily rely on pulses and beans for calories while most western-nations exhibit a greater taste for meat and poultry. This demonstrates on the one hand, cultural tastes while on the other it also says a great deal about income and poverty.

From the Paper
"In a report and survey revealed in 1980s, it was found that there existed noticeable differences in per capital supply of calories and protein in different regions of the world (see Table 1). It was observed that developing countries had calories intake 9 percent lower than the world average. The developed countries on the other hand had 27 percent higher calorie intake than the world average. The countries that lied below the world average in calorie intake existed in the four regions of Africa, Far Easter, Middle Easter, and Latin America."

Abstract
This paper is written about the criticism made from George Orwell in "Politics and the English Writing." Many people often complain about the problems related to the English language.

Abstract
The paper assesses Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" which was first published in 1936. The author of the paper shows that although it may be hard to imagine that a book written so many years ago is still relevant today, it's clear why this book has stood the test of time: The basic, down-to-earth techniques for dealing with people (for example, "Don't criticize, condemn or complain"; "Give honest and sincere appreciation") still work today. The paper shows how Carnegie shows he has a true understanding of human nature, how to make people like you, and how to deal with them so you can be an effective leader and that those types of skills are never outdated.

From the Paper
"In some parts of the book it s very obvious that it was written many years ago. Some of the stories Carnegie tells to illustrate his points seem a bit outdated, and I m not sure the things he said would work today, although the basic idea is still valid. For instance, Chapter 6 is How to Make People Like You Instantly. In this chapter he tells the story of going to the post office and wanting to say something to the postal clerk that will make the clerk like him. Because the clerk seems to have a very tedious job, as well as one that doesn t seem to require specialized skills, Carnegie chooses not to build up the clerk by commenting on how well he does his job. Instead, he tells the clerk, I certainly wish I had your head of hair. In today s society, that sort of comment might be misconstrued and taken the wrong way. "

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss and analyze the topic of gasoline prices in the United States and offer some insight as to why they are so high. Specifically, it answers the question "Do Americans really have a right to complain?" It also discusses European gas prices, and why they are higher than America's, as well as some alternative fuels that might help ease gas prices in the United States.

From the Paper
"American gas prices may be higher than we have ever encountered before, but they are much lower than gas prices around the world. American drivers are spoiled. They tend to drive large, inefficient vehicles, and then rant about the high price of gasoline. They drive long distances for work and play, using more gasoline per capita than residents of many foreign countries. American drivers also rely heavily on their vehicles, rather than using more efficient and fuel-friendly alternatives, like carpooling or public transportation. We depend too much on foreign oil, a resource that is non-renewable. We need to develop more alternatives to our dependence on gasoline by researching more efficient fuels and automobiles, like the hybrids that have recently been developed by Honda and Toyota, which use a mixture of gasoline and electricity to provide better gas mileage while using less gasoline. Our dependency on oil must stop, or one day, our children will wake up to world without gasoline."

Abstract
This twelve-page graduate paper discusses how Habermas's theory could be useful to feminism. Habermas's theory plays a balancing act in feminism. It neither accepts the radical nature of those who use feminism to complain of repression. Nor does it dismiss feminism. Habermas has played a useful role in reminding people of the basis of feminism, and the need for universalism, equality and tolerance. His theory has influenced many in the struggle for justice.
