Abstract
In this article, the writer shows how stereotyping functions throughout the course of '50 First Dates', on not only an ethnic and racial level, but also on the level of gender and sexuality. The writer discusses that it is not the native Hawaiian Islanders or the gender-ambiguous individuals who matter much in the scheme of '50 First Dates'. The writer maintains that without the "exotic" locale and the individuals who come attached to it, one has a typical Hollywood story about two "normal" (i.e. white, heterosexual) individuals and their romantic entanglement. This is quite stereotypical in itself, as an emblem of Hollywood's machinery, in that it refuses to deviate from such norms. The writer concludes that stereotypes in '50 First Dates' thus serve a double purpose: to reinforce preconceived societal notions about ethnic and gender minorities, while asserting the supremacy of those who are "lucky" enough not to fit into such "restrictive" categories.

From the Paper
" The interactions between Lucy and Henry are rooted in repetition. This is because Lucy, it is revealed the following day when he approaches her in the restaurant and she does not seem to recognize him, suffers from anterograde amnesia owing to an automobile accident that she suffered with her father two years prior. Her short-term memory has been affected, although she does have long-term memory. As a result, each time she goes to bed each night, she wakes up the following day believing that it is still October 13, 2002. Her father and brother, having been informed by the doctors that the disorder is likely irreversible, decide to "play along" with Lucy's delusion. Thus, the father has had copies of the October 13, 2002 printed out, and the staff at the diner where she goes for breakfast each morning has been instructed to play along, as well. The matriarchal owner of the diner had been friends with Lucy's deceased mother, and promised her that she would take care of her. For this reason, the diner owner is particularly hostile to Henry's advances."

Abstract
This paper examines how both carbon-14 and uranium-238 are used to date fossils and how both methods are based on measuring the decay that has occurred in these elements. It looks at how carbon-14 dating is used for organic material, plants and animals, while uranium-238 is used primarily for geographic formations. It also discusses how both methods of dating are subject to potential sample contamination and, therefore, inaccurate readings; the addition of foreign material in both types of samples can provide either younger or older results, dependent on the material.

From the Paper
"Radioactive elements decay at unique rates, dependant on the isotope. This rate of decay is known as half-lives, it is the time necessary for of the atoms to decay in a particular element. The decay follows a geometric scale, in that in the first half-life of an element, of the atoms decay, yet in the second half-life, of those remaining decay, meaning a of the original atoms decay, and so forth. By measuring this decay, and knowing the half life of an element, scientists can date a sample."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Moschophoros statue in the Acropolis Museum in Athens, which has been dated to around 560 BC by scholars. The writer compares the Moschophoros to a number of representative Kouroi and Korai, whose dates have been more or less determined, and considers how his eyes, ears, mouth, lips and torso compare with the artistic developments in the 2nd quarter of the 6th century BC, demonstrating that a date of around 560 BC is secure within 5-10 years. By also comparing the representation of clothing on the Moschophoros with the Kore form, this date is further reaffirmed. This paper contains figures.

From the Paper
"The Moschophoros has suffered some damage over the years, most of which was likely caused by the Persian sacking of Athens in 479/80. Moschophoros' genitals are missing from the sculpture because a good share of the front side of his left leg from roughly the left hip down to the shinbone is gone. His right hand is completely broken off just above the wrist and his left hand is partially broken off. The calf's left hind leg is partly missing in the same breakage as his left hand's demise; the calf's right front leg swings around Moschophoros' neck and is partially lost in the breakage that is centred at the centre of the chest of Moschophoros."

Abstract
Date rape is a serious social issue, which must be addressed appropriately. This paper discusses how it is important to first develop a clear and absolute definition of date rape to protect men from false accusations and to protect women from sexual victimization on dates. It explains that this definition is needed so women can realize when things are proceeding in the wrong direction and take some action to stop it, while men can proceed cautiously and shield themselves from false allegations that next morning.

From the Paper
"Date rape is a less technical term for acquaintance rape where offender is identified as a non-relative whom the victim knew personally. However the extent of this relationship may vary from case to case. In some cases, the offender and victim may have been on first date when the incident occurred while in others, they might be in steady relationship. Vast body of research on the subject reveals that date rape is a common social problem that is not limited exclusively to college students. Women of all age groups have experienced sexual coercion by a male acquaintance on a date. Pineau (1989) defines date rape as ?non-aggravated sexual assault, nonconsensual sex that does not involve physical injury, or the explicit threat of physical injury" (Pineau 217). Still date rape is a vaguely defined crime: one factor that has contributed to its growth."

Abstract
The paper introduces archaeology, and explains that the concept of dating is central to the science of archaeology. Two broad categories of dating, relative and absolute, are introduced, and four major specific types of dating are presented to the reader; stratigraphy, dendrochronology, obsidian hydration dating, and radiocarbon dating. Each of the four methods are discussed in great detail, each with a closing paragraph devoted to the underlying problems with that particular method. For example, the section on stratigraphy begins with a brief history of the method itself, and introduces such concepts as the law of superposition, temporal sequences of data within stratified deposits, context evaluation, and determining age through the relative position of superimposed artifacts. The negatives of stratigraphy are then discussed, and include deformation, overlapping and reverse stratigraphy, and the method is evaluated on the whole. This format is then applied to the other three types of dating discussed. Finally, a concluding paragraph states that although the four types of dating discussed are infinitely valuable to archaeologists all over the world, there are still problems associated with each that need to be accounted for when using them to address the age of fossilized remains and other artifacts.

From the Paper
"Archaeology is the study of past human cultures, and archaeologists must uncover and interpret material remains in order to reconstruct past ways of life. To understand the purposes of these remains, Archaeologists have the task of constructing a chronology of prehistory, using various dating methods. "Without knowing the age of materials, little can be said about the activity that made them part of the site (David L. Webster, Susan Toby Evans & William T. Sanders, 1993: 128)." Dating is defined as the placement in time of events relative to one another or to any established scale of temporal measurement (Jeffrey S. Dean, 1981: 375). Dating methods used by Archaeologist incorporate the scientific method and have the advantages of objectification, application to isolated cultural sequences, and an expanded span of human prehistory for which an absolute chronology can be built (Keith Brannigan, 1974: 100-101). Scientific methods of dating are invaluable for the prehistoric periods and have revolutionized the archaeologists' ideas about the absolute chronology of the prehistoric culture sequence (Brannigan, 1974: 101), yet each of these scientific methods has many difficulties. Dating techniques fall into two categories relative and absolute and include the following: seriation, ceramic dating, potassium argon dating, thermoluminescence dating, archaeomagnetic dating, fission track dating, stratigraphy, dendrochronology, obsidian hydration dating, and radiocarbon dating. This paper will discuss the latter four methods, with an emphasis on the shortcomings of each."

Abstract
This paper examines aggressive sexual behavior as it occurs in dating situations among young adults. The author presents salient statistics showing how widespread this problem is. The paper further describes the combinations of interactions in which dating violence may happen. The paper discusses dating violence toward boys, as well as girls.

Outline:
Dating Violence and Its Prevalence
Dating and Dating Violence, Sexual in Nature
Men Upset more by Sexual infidelity; Women, by Emotional Infidelity
Young Women at a Greater Risk of Victimization
A Most Fatal Consequence: STDs
But Boys Get Victimized, Too

From the Paper
" There is a difference in the motivation for aggression between the genders. Evolutionary psychology has argued that men are more upset by their partner's sexual infidelity than women are but that women are more upset by their partner's emotional infidelity than are men (Forbes 2005). It identified jealousy as the proximal cause of relationship violence. It would, then, expect men to engage in more frequent and severe relationship violence in response to sexual infidelity than to emotional infidelity. In contract, women would resort to more frequent and severe relationship violence on account of emotional infidelity (Forbes et al)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the topic of dating in the United States and shows how technology has affected dating in the last 50 years. The paper shows the impact of technology during this period on dating patterns of "young adults," namely, those aged 13-30, depending on the social norm of the decade. Dating has always been a ritual by which young adults find themselves and discover their sexuality while trying out potential long-term mates. The paper explains that, today, dating has changed considerably due to advances in technology, such as films, MTV, and the Internet.

From the Paper
"The partners no longer need to be in the same room, car, or theater, they can be hundreds of miles away from each other and still date online. They can view films together, listen to the same music, and play games all over the Internet. They can chat whenever they want via Instant Messenger or email. The Internet has taken dating to another level, and has proved to be an excellent way for people to meet other people with the same interests and ideals."

Abstract
The paper discusses how nonverbal communication is used, whether consciously or otherwise, by dating couples within their developing relationship and such communication can include touching, facial expressions, and eye contact. The paper shows how escalating a dating relationship to a sexual one not only involves verbal cues, but successful nonverbal communication as well. However, the paper argues that the nature of a relationship must be assessed as well, and can be determined via nonverbal communication cues. The paper then discusses how over sixty heterosexual couples in 1998 completed questionnaires and were videotaped discussing the positive aspects of their dating relationship and it was observed that those who were secure in their relationship were associated with nonverbal closeness, such as "laughing, touching, gazing and smiling during the interaction" (Anders 121). "
