Abstract
This paper discusses the subject of social class and relates that it
transcends actual wealth because the concept relates much more to issues regarding social networking, values, beliefs, and personal identity. Furthermore, the paper discusses how social class often relates to whom one knows, how well-connected a person is in the community, and what ethnic background an individual is part of. The writer then discusses various issues regarding social class such as careers, associating with the correct people etc., and looks at how these issues relate to her own life.

From the Paper
"In spite of the limitations I place on myself in terms of who I associate with, I have been able to make friends from different class backgrounds. I learn a lot from my friends, who have taught me the value of understanding where others come from and how their self-concept is shaped by their families. The people I know from lower class backgrounds or who are very poor sometimes feel hopeless because of the long uphill battle they would have to climb if they wanted to attend university. Because their parents cannot afford tuition, they rely on scholarships or financial grants. If they attend a community college, they mark themselves as a lower class to middle class background because usually community colleges are attended by the students whose families cannot afford to send them to a larger state university. Thus, I am aware of the ways society imposes limitations on our ability to change our social class even if the United States is a more liberal society than most. I have a balanced perspective about social class: on the one hand I acknowledge the ways social class has affected my identity and my friendships, my goals and my dreams. On the other hand, I seek to transcend class and have access to different sources of income, different outlooks on life, and different social circles."

Abstract
This paper presents extensive research about all aspects of administration in the area of education. The paper provides an historical review of educational administration as well as information concerning contemporary issues, challenges, initiatives and legislation in the administration of education in the new millennium. The paper contends that an administrator of education is someone completely cognitive to the needs and issues surrounding him, while at the same time is able to withdraw himself from those factors in order to make reliable and credible decisions regarding the administration of education.

From the Paper
"The study of Education Administration or simply said the leadership within a school is that which guides, leads, propels, and motivates the teachers and thereby the students as well. The environment of the school is critical in setting the stage for the optimal learning experience. It is initially the superintendent and principal who will determine the primary focus of the school both in terms of curriculum, environment and learning atmosphere in relation to ethnicity, race, and gender mutual-respect, autonomy and equality in the learning experience."

Abstract
The paper argues that a key cultural difference that should be explored is the differential outcomes between the Caucasian patients of European therapists and the minority patients of these same therapists; in short, why is it that patients who do not share the same racial or ethnic background as the (white) therapist tend to struggle more when it comes to achieving healthy outcomes? The paper contends that this difference is important because it could provide compelling proof that more diversity is needed in the psycho-therapeutic field, and an analysis of the issue would go a long way toward helping our society resolve the high rate of substance abuse (and repeat substance abuse) that afflicts minority groups.

Abstract
This paper explores the differential outcomes between the Caucasian patients of Caucasian therapists and the minority patients of these same therapists. The paper questions the reasons behind why patients who do not share the same racial or ethnic background as the therapist tend to struggle more when it comes to healthy outcomes. The paper notes that this difference is important because it provides compelling proof that more diversity is needed in the psycho-therapeutic field.

Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between theories of crime and police work. First, the paper differentiates between the biological, psychological and sociological theories of crime. Next, it compares the impact of race, age, gender, and ethnicity upon society and upon policing. Finally, the paper applies the preceding data and the theories of crime to police procedures. The paper concludes by stating that police are influenced by theories just like anyone else, but the theories they embrace can have either very good, or very destructive, consequences upon how things like justice and law and order are achieved.

From the Paper
"The following paper will explore the relationship between theories of crime and police work. To start with, the paper will differentiate between the biological, psychological and sociological theories of crime and proceed from there to describe the prominent theories found in each category. With this out of the way, the next order of business will be to compare the impact of race, age, gender, and ethnicity upon society (in terms of criminal activity) and upon policing. Finally, after interpreting some of the relevant governmental and research data as it pertains to the aforementioned demographic and social groupings, the paper will wind up by..."

Abstract
The paper relates that the novel "The Last of the Mohicans" by James Fenimore Cooper is viewed by many readers as simply an adventure novel, though in truth it tells much about the history of the early colonial period and delves into issues of the meaning of America, its differentiation from Europe, the idea of ethnicity in that context, and the desire to build a nation in order to separate more from Europe and gain power over the destiny of the people of the New World. The paper posits that it is fitting that the novel shows the beginning of one people even as it also shows the end of another, with the Mohican tribe giving way to the influx of a new population fleeing from the tyranny of Europe.

Abstract
This paper explains that Armani differentiated himself through his unique application of men's fabrics in relaxed designs for women that were earmarked by unstructured jackets and suits. The author points out that his signature style, "understated elegance", is easy fit, ready to wear garments, that have an air of tailored and sharply cut lines. The paper states that the classic consumer for Armani products is the affluent, or aspiring-affluent, brand-conscious, fashion-conscious customer who, generally, is youthful, active, high-performing and high-profile.

From the Paper
"His designs are notable for their linear style. In the 2001 show, the prevailing theme was a "techno-ethnic" blend, where techno fabrics were intermingled with ethnic shapes. "Fake double" finishes and padded lightweight materials with no collars or buttons personify his unique technique. The contrast that is achieved with the combination of opposite materials, i.e., light and dark, rough and smooth, glossy and matte provide the backdrop for his outstanding fashions."

Abstract
This paper explains that, while the techniques involved in segmenting foreign marketplaces do not differ dramatically from their domestic counterparts, there are certain cultural, religious, ethnic, age and gender-related issues, which may confound even the most carefully crafted marketing campaign. The author points out that consumer-based studies attempt to determine specific characteristics of consumers in foreign or domestic markets, which differentiate them from other consumers; such target marketing initiatives usually focus on traditional demographic (age, income, education) and psychographic (attitudes, values) segmentation variables. The paper identifies several criteria, which companies can use to evaluate the efficacy of expanding their operations into any given foreign marketplace: (1) Product transportable and cost, (2) transferability of competitive advantage, (3) inter-firm transferability of resources and (4) need to adapt to local market conditions. Includes the proposal for the project. Table and graph.

"The first two steps concern consumer research or the identification of exactly who shops and buys in the store, where they live, what and when they buy, how frequently they shop, how much they spend, and how they use the product purchased. The third step is concerned with product or actual in-store opinion tabulations using focus groups or informal meetings with customer, and the penultimate step is concerned with market analysis. White notes that the final step involves a comprehensive assessment of the competitive situation within the marketplace for the industry involved. This can be accomplished using any of the standard market analysis techniques such as a SWOT, a Porter's five forces model or a PESTLE."

Abstract
This paper discusses what Erdrich's purpose was in making these half brothers, King and Liphsa, so different. It claims that the differences [ethnic background] do not eliminate differentiation of origins, race and inner beliefs. This paper contends that these factors cannot be changed even if an individual pretend to blend into a different kind of culture like Lipsha did in the book. This is what makes the brothers different from each other.

From the Paper
"Louise Erdrich's novel "Love Medicine", portrays the extraordinary life among the native Americans. At first reading, one does not clearly comprehend certain style of the writer's but gradually once the theme and story line becomes commonly understood readers learn to interpret each of the scenes that is more in line with his/her own ethnic background. In Louise Erdrich's Love Medicine, we see the effects of American Natives going through a series of changes including their core religious and spiritual belief. Her characters, over a roughly fifty-year period, are seen grappling with the contradictory effects of this effort to, on the one hand, isolate the Native Americans on reservations, and on the other, make 'regular' Americans of them."

Abstract
This paper proposes quantitative research to determine if there is a disproportionate participation in crime by African Americans and Hispanic individuals. The author points out that it is extremely important to understand the biases that exist in sentencing African Americans and Hispanics so that this condition can be corrected. The paper describes research that proposes calculating disparity in sentencing through use of multiple regression statistical analysis that will consider many dependent variables.

From the Paper
"Further analysis of data will be conducted through multiple regression statistical analysis in which the dependent variable, the race and gender of offenders will = X and the independent variables in a multivariate regression model will = Y. Building a regression model for multivariate analysis includes collection of predictor and response values for common samples, and then fitting a predefined mathematical relationship to the collected data. Multivariate analysis is also referred to as factor analysis in which several predictive variables are simultaneously taken into account resulting in more accuracy."
