Abstract
This paper examines dysfunctional attachment, especially the D (disorganized) form, as an a priori factor in the psychology of heroin addicts and as an impact on the therapeutic relationship. The author points out that Goodman and Hans (1999) investigated infants exposed to methadone in utero did not differ from comparison infants in indexes of proximity-seeking at reunion but did display higher scores on indexes of disorganized and avoidant behavior and lower scores on indexes of contact-maintaining behavior. The paper relates that because some people who can control their habit, indulging in heroin only on weekends, all addictions may not be allied to dysfunctional attachment patterns.

From the Paper
"Carswell et al (2002) investigated a social control model for dealing with serious addiction in youthful abusers. They noted that some "argue that delinquency and substance abuse are learned behaviors produced by continued exposure to multiple risk factors associated with problems or deficits within the individual, family, peers, school, and community." Among these was conflict-ridden families, arguably resulting in dysfunctional attachment patterns. They investigated whether the standard protective factors-supportive parental relationships among them-were mitigating factors for both the dysfunctional behaviors and resulting abuse problems."

Abstract
Caring nursing leadership denotes holistic caring as well as compassion and empathy for others (Dickson, 2000). All nurses are therefore potential leaders. In this paper, the three themes of leadership style, qualities of caring leadership, and the challenges encountered in caring leadership will be discussed. Dougherty (2000) identifies caring leadership with nurses' expertise. Leadership and care have much in common since health is basically the balance of mind, body and soul while caring and leadership are both focused on strategies to bring that balance into being.

Abstract
Two essays that concentrate on language as a means of presenting the person in addition to concepts are "Good English and Bad" by Bill Bryson and "Not White, Just Right" by Rachel L Jones. These essays demonstrate that language and speaking are methods of communication that not only suggest the content and the quality of the subject matter being discussed, but also denote the same traits within the speaker. This paper focuses on these two articles in discussing how language use reflects the nature of the speaker as well as the context of the subject matter at hand.

Abstract
Prince Lyov Myshkin is the main character of Dostoevsky's "The Idiot". In terms of redemption, he is often characterized in ways reminiscent of Christ, who, on account of the way in which he spoke and thought, was obliged to live among hostile neighbors who did not understand him. He was thus obliged to live alone, not understanding the hostility. The paper shows that, furthermore, there appears to be in this character a timid purity that reminds the reader of the same trait in Christ. This appears to denote a fear of sex and procreation, which was part of Christ's and, indeed, of Myshkin's mission in the world. The paper shows that Myshkin's interactions with other characters and his characterization throughout the novel then reflect the main theme of the novel, which is redemption or the lack and impossibility thereof.

From the Paper
"Nastasya represents one of the sufferers in the novel, as she has been abused as an adolescent. This once again is a complicated issue of apparent redemption that is in truth a trap. The savior was Totsky, who took in Nastasya as an orphan. He was also however the obstacle towards salvation, in that he sexually abused the young Nastasya. For this, Myshkin observes that Nastasya suffers not only for the wrongs committed against her, but also for the pride and self-contempt that she carries within herself. Nastasya thus, in emancipating herself from Totsky, nonetheless remains her own prisoner. This is already clear when Myshkin sees her photograph for the first time. Nastasya is beautiful, but her life and attitude appear in her face:
"...her expression was passionate, and, as it were disdainful. She was rather thin in the face and perhaps pale." (p. 27)."

This paper explores two works that denote group ideology in a period of war. These works are the film "Dr. Strangelove" and the book by Wallace Terry entitled "Bloods: An Oral History of the Vietnam War by Black Veterans".

Abstract
This paper presents the history of tattooing. The paper describes evidence of tattooing throughout many cultures across the world. The paper explains modern-day tattooing, which is used primarily to denote gang or other group affiliations or just for body decoration. Since both these reasons are subject to changing tastes and circumstances, there has developed a demand for a reliable way to remove tattoos. These methods are explored in the paper.

From the Paper
"The history of tattooing is a long and varied one. "A tattoo is a permanent mark or design made on the body when pigment is inserted into the dermal layer of the skin through ruptures in the skin's top layer." ("How Tattoo Removal Works," 2004). A more recent development in this area, however, is the issue of tattoo removal. Only recently have advances in technology made it possible to effectively remove a tattoo. The process of tattooing, which inserts ink deeply into the layers of the skin, has traditionally made it very difficult to get rid of a tattoo once it's been applied. Modern techniques for tattoo removal include; dermabrasion, salabrasion, excision (surgical removal) and laser removal. There are also less thorough methods for covering a tattoo such as scarification or tattoo modification. Currently, the most favored method of tattoo removal is laser removal, as it leaves little scarring and is very effective, although multiple laser treatments are often required."

Abstract
In the three stories presented: "Good Country People", "Hills Like White Elephants" and "The Storm", there's a clear parallel that exists. In each event that occurs as the main plot of each story, we are presented with a question that in most cases would probably be handled the same way even in today's age. Each story presents a struggle, a choice to be made, a path to take for characters that wouldn't be so unlike those paths taken today. This paper attempts to bring those choices to light and, with examples, denote the similarities of choices made today.

Abstract
This paper begs the question of "all men being created equal". It argues that as much as society would like to think of itself of democratic and supportive of equality, most people in society are oppressed in one way or another due to a physical, cultural, social or religious "handicap".

From the paper:

"The term equality has innumerable connotations. It may denote being exactly alike or of comparable value. Equality is usually associated with advantages and discussed when there is a situation wherein a subject is being deprived of a prerogative.
The phrase ?equality for all? has a nice ring to it but what exactly does it entail. It forms an image of the ultimate utopia, filled with peace, brotherhood, and justice but ?What are we aiming to be equal in?? and more to the point ?Whom do we want to be equal to??"

Abstract
This paper examines how the term "Neoliberalism" has been used as an umbrella term to denote new applications of the classical liberal ideas dating back to Adam Smith. It looks at how as an economic principle, it has much in common with its liberal roots and how like liberalism, it is rooted in the market and market forces. In particular, it looks at how it allows for the concentration of wealth in the hands of private conglomerates and how this has resulted in a growing disparity between the wealthy and poor. It shows how viewed geographically, this division has occurred along the North-South divide, where corporations from the United States and Western Europe benefit from one-sided economic policies instituted in poorer countries like Mexico, Haiti and countries in Latin America.

From the Paper
"Even within richer countries like the United States, neoliberalism has resulted in the reduction of public goods and services for the needy. The increasing "corporatization of America" has allowed the private sector more opportunities to shape public policy in their own favor. By virtue of their policy-shaping power and their size, many corporations can now push "trade deals and other accords down the throats of the world's people, mak(ing) it easier for corporations and the wealthy to dominate the economies of nations around the world." (McChesney 18)."

Abstract
This paper argues that the writing style used in "Billy Budd" was chosen by Melville so he could best address those aspects of the story structure that required a strong degree of comprehension on the part of the reader. This paper demonstrates that Melville's writing style in "Billy Budd" was used in such a manner to denote a greater sense of significance within specific parts of the story.
