Abstract
The paper describes the case of a new mother electing to bottle feed her child immediately following the baby's birth. The paper discusses how the midwife set about insisting that breastfeeding was the woman's responsibility because it was natural, more nutritious for the baby and would create a strong bond between mother and child. The paper explains that the patient was a working mother that needed to be able to leave her child with a sitter after her maternity leave, yet, the midwife continued to rant about what she perceived as the positive factors associated with breast milk and made the new mother feel guilty for making the choice that she had. The paper relates that women are pressured into agreeing to breastfeed their babies, although this decision does not support their lifestyles or their own views of feeding their children. Therefore, the paper explores the various issues associated with this situation.

Abstract
An examination of the affirmative action policy that was introduced in 1965 and has since been both praised and denounced as an answer to racial equality. According to the author, it was President Johnson who felt that it was an appropriate remedy to discrimination, which continued to plague the United States regardless of civil rights laws and constitutional pledges and who therefore introduced the affirmative action policy as a temporary remedy that would end when a "level playing field" was created for all Americans.

From the Paper
"Affirmative action has increasingly become a popular subject of debate. Not only does the phrase "affirmative action mean different things to different people, but also there are different arguments for and against it. The most controversial kind of affirmative action includes some sort of "preference" for black Americans when applying for jobs or to colleges and professional schools. Affirmative action means different things; and the arguments vary. It is not even clear what counts as a preference. Many people want to keep it as it is, saying that it is necessary for democracy. Others support affirmative action but see it as a flawed remedy in need of change. A third group believes that a fair playing field has been established and is pushing for the elimination of affirmative action policies."

Abstract
The social order of the United States has been in a continuous debate over the issue of abortion since the early 1800s. State and federal laws have affected the legal medical practice of abortions and the individuals on both sides of the issue within the health care profession. The Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade contended that laws relating to women's rights were unconstitutional. However, the court also stated that the issue of when life begins, to address ethical concerns about abortion, would ultimately have to be determined by those in "medicine, philosophy and theology". This paper considers the ongoing and controversial abortion debate, looking at different theological and ethical perspectives as well as the medical perspective on the topic.

Abstract
The paper discusses how male nurses are a minority in nursing and often lack control over factors that contribute to quality patient care. The paper explains that not only do male nurses experience a high degree of stress but they are stressed continually, and when combined with little autonomy and social support, stress can become so severe as to lead to burnout (Nordam & Torjuul, 2005). The paper discusses how stress and ability to cope have implications for patient care and also for retention of nurses. This writer uses a small sample of research but it reveals something very important for male nurses which may cause them to take a new perspective. The writer notes that the central issue is not actually the stress experienced by male nurses but rather how they deal with it.

Abstract
This paper examines various aspects of abortion and abortion law such as social and ethical concerns as well as the law, and more specifically concerned to that of women's rights.

From the paper:

"While medical science is making abortion much safer for the woman, the debates and the legal battles continue unabated. In the United States, the battles rage in the courts, the Congress and state legislatures. There have even been violent confrontations in the clinics where abortions are performed. There are people in favor of giving the woman the right to abort, and people who are not prepared to allow abortion except when it puts the life of the mother in danger. In between these two extreme positions, we have people taking intermediate positions."

Abstract
This paper explains that the traditional financial reports and the traditional audit style sometimes prove not enough because they lack the essential thing in today?s business environment, updated information; therefore, continuous auditing seems to be getting more and more followers. The author points out that some of the drivers of continuous auditing are a better monitoring of financial issues within a company, ensuring that real-time transactions also benefit from real-time monitoring, prevention of financial fiascoes and audit scandals such as Enron or Andersen, and use of software to determine that financial controls are properly done. This paper stresses that continuous auditing involves a large amount of work because the company practicing continuous auditing will not provide one report at the end of a quarter, but will provide financial reports on a day-to-day basis.

From the Paper
"The Sarbanes- Oxley Act was passed on the 30th of July 2002 with the declared goal of "deterring and punishing corporate and accounting fraud and corruption". As we have seen in the lines here above, continuous accounting aims exactly at providing a more secure platform in order to avoid fraud and a real-time process that is aimed at ensuring high-level financial control. In order to explain the benefits from continuous auditing with regards to Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we can use one of the examples given on one of the articles from www.cfo.com, which uses Crown Media for the case study."

Abstract
This paper discusses the need for continuing professional development (CPD) among psychologists. The paper discusses the differing CPD requirements for psychologists in various countries and compares and contrasts these differences. The paper then discusses the arguments for and against CPD, including financial issues and adherence to theories learned.

From the Paper
"Regularly undertaking CPD activity of an appropriate type and quality should keep them safe to practice and fit for purpose throughout their careers. No matter where someone is on the hierarchy, whether they have just qualified or have been qualified for 30 years, CPD is just as important, every professional needs to ensure that they are fit for purpose, safe to practice and up to date throughout their careers, QAA, (2003)"
"The majority of Psychologists know that their continuing professional development is important. But for some, when they hear the phrase 'continuing professional development' this is met by a yawn and an attempt to tot up the number of hours spent on activities which could count as CPD along with worries about where they will find the time to pursue CPD activities, APS (2006)."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses end of life issues. According to the paper, modern technology has made complex things that were once simple and straightforward. The paper goes on to say that to continue life-sustaining care in the face of certain eventual death, or to allow nature to take its course sooner, rather than later, is an extremely difficult decision. The paper reports that psychologists play a vital role in helping those responsible for care to make informed decisions; decisions that fit with their own moral sense, and which are in accord with general notions of what is ethical, and what is not. The paper notes that the American Psychological Association (APA) has formulated a code of ethics that addresses the full range of professional and moral concerns that a practicing psychologist is likely to encounter.

Outline:
Introduction
The Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (2002)
The Ethical Challenges of End of Life Issues
Current Regulations and Recommendations

From the Paper
"The definition seems to satisfy the needs of autonomy - the reference to "one's" choices, as opposed to those imposed from the outside, while at the same time elucidating the concept of "being a burden on one's family." The statement also distinguished between suicide, and a legitimate decision to end pain and suffering, even if that decision results in death. Understanding such religious sentiments, or being able to translate them into the formulations of other religions, or even atheistic philosophies, can go along way toward helping the psychological counselor in his or her mission to aid caregivers, and to help them assuage the pain and trauma of making such difficult decisions of life and death."

From the Paper
"In the ...s, the concept of green business was both new and relatively limited presided over by relatively small firms that catered to a small cult of so-called health fanatics. The products themselves tended to be poorly marketed, expensive and often ineffective in use. A new generation of companies developed in the ...s and ...s that geared their products toward mainstream consumers and competed head-to-head in quality with established brands. In time, green products became able to compete on price as well breaking ..."

Abstract
This paper argues that installing solar collectors on rooftops and insulating homes in America will not provide citizens and businesses with the energy needed to keep American strong; therefore, it is paramount that the U.S. continues to use fossil fuels. The author stresses that the green movement offers an alarmist misuse of statistics; distressing techniques have been used to calculate atmospheric temperatures above the oceans of the world have resulted in a 40% exaggeration of 'global warming' according to an international study by scientists. The paper relates that the sea levels are rising around the planet but not in any uniform fashion; it is a natural phenomenon in between ice ages.

From the Paper
"Nuclear power is extremely dangerous and nuclear plants can get out of control: The Chernobyl nuclear accident in Russia in 1986 caused an estimated 4,229 deaths in the Ukraine, and unknown number of cancers throughout Europe, according to Dr. Richard Smart, Department of Nuclear Medicine at St. George hospital in Kogarah Australia. World renowned radiation expert Dr. Helen Caldicott - founder and president of Physicians for Social Responsibility - explains that plutonium, a by-product of nuclear fission, is "so carcinogenic that hypothetically half a kilo even distributed could cause cancer in everyone on earth." Also, five kilos of plutonium in the hands of a terrorist can make a sizable nuclear weapon; currently, there over 1,200 tons of plutonium are stored around the world near nuclear plant sites. Additionally, reprocessing spent fuel "causes deadly radiation releases into the environment that are a threat to public health." "
