Abstract
This paper discusses domestic architecture, which consists of mainly residential buildings and homes. The author explains how it is possible to determine the values and cultural paradigms of a particular archaeological time by examining the domestic buildings of the period as buildings are connected to the purpose of the activities within them. The paper also analyzes how different type of interior and exterior space, utility items and decorations can show the personality and values of their occupants.

From the Paper
"In social terms, etiquette in dining was associated with self-realization and fulfillment, which in turn was a product of the individualism ideology. People were expected to perform according to a social set of norms. The quality of such performance was then an indication of the personal qualities, status and education of the performer. These in turn influenced the use of interior space, with a very socially aware person decorating the home according to a preconceived set of principles. A central element here was control. Etiquette indicated control of the interior domestic space, and how people conducted themselves in such settings."

Abstract
This paper examines how marketing companies have to be ever-mindful of the world in which they do business if they want to be the as effective as they can be. It looks at how examining external factors such as legal issues, economic climate, and technological abilities can provide a foundation for stronger and more effective marketing of a product or service. It attempts to show that, whether it is a domestic or a global issue, these factors must be taken into account for any marketing plan to work.

From the Paper
"Another example of bait and switch tactics would be if a car dealership advertised a vehicle at a very low price, but when potential customers went to the dealership they were told the car had just been sold and then steered toward a more expensive vehicle. In addition to bait and switch examples there are many other legal liabilities that marketers must be careful of. Advertising a product as safe, when it in fact has several risk factors is another things that must be guarded against. In more recent times failing to WARN consumers about potential product problems has been construed as irresponsible as well."

Abstract
The paper shows that 220 million people pay a visit every year to the Mediterranean coastline and this is taking its toll on the environment of the area by contributing waste, marine pollution from domestic sewage, water shortages, and land degradation. The paper explores the different steps being taken to rectify the problem, such as UNEP's Mediterranean Action Plan.

From the Paper
"Hotels, resorts, restaurants and other public facilities also may intoxicate the water and the living organisms by discharging untreated sewage to the sea. According to European Environment Agency, "about 60% of urban waste disposed in the Mediterranean Sea is still untreated." This toxic waste not only contaminates the water and deteriorates the organisms' habitat but also dropping the water quality that perhaps would be unsafe to swim or surf in, in the future if no such adequate actions are taken."

From the Paper
"Business does not operate in a vacuum but within the larger world around it. Perhaps this is most true of all of marketing. A firm can exercise considerable control over its physical plants and facilities and over the financial assets in its portfolio. It can exert substantial managerial control over its work force and it can seek flexibility in dealing with its suppliers or even pursue vertical integration. When it faces its customers. however. it comes face to ..."

"Finally the number of non-family households is increasing. Many young adults leave home and move into apartments, while others choose to remain single, some are widowed or divorced. Now more than 47 percent of all households are non-family or single parent households. This makes up for the fastest growing categories of households. These groups have their own specific needs. For example, they need smaller apartments, inexpensive and smaller appliances, furniture and furnishing and food that is packed in smaller sizes."

Abstract
An organization's marketing environment comprises of its internal make-up, its micro-environment such as its external customers and distributors and the macro-environment. This paper focuses on how three of the macro-environmental forces affect global and domestic marketing decisions. The three macro-environmental factors discussed are political, economic and cultural factors.

From the Paper
"Currently, of course, a growing recognition of the important role global trade plays in bringing about a healthy world and domestic economy has led to governments agreeing to create GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade), among other trade liberalization efforts. As a result, these political measures have made it easier for companies to conduct international trade and investment and to globalize their production, distribution, and general business operations (Rao, 2001, p. 3-4). Marketing planners, nevertheless, must take the global macro-environment, into consideration since other factors such as other political tensions will continue to affect organizational performance. In a similar vein, although many of the world's nations have increasingly moved towards liberalization of their local economies, political factors continue to affect organizational decisions pertaining to specific domestic markets."

Abstract
In order to help address the abusive environment, authorities must recognize the correlation between domestic violence and child abuse and target these behaviors as potentially symptomatic of a more significant problem. This paper addresses these points in order to illustrate the severity of the problem of an abusive environment in order to help provide guidelines for recognizing the signs of abuse as a preventative measure.

Abstract
The paper discusses how a family environment that fosters domestic violence, primarily against the mother, may positively or negatively impact on the health and care of children who have witnessed such violence. In addition, the paper looks at how nurses can enhance the well being of children and reduce short and long-term adverse effects. The paper reviews professional, ethical and legal boundaries that may affect the nurse's interaction with the child and family through the use of and critical analysis of supportive literature.

From the Paper
" Such referrals must meet the financial, cultural, and transportation needs of the family. In screening patients at the onset of the health history, allows them to know that I am knowledgeable about the topic, I understand the seriousness of abuse, I want to help, I can help when they are ready and I have the appropriate resources to offer. In addition, I will not screen a patient if a partner refuses to leave the room, if I cannot find a private, safe space, if I have concerns that in screening the patient I am making her and her children unsafe or I cannot provide a proper interpreter. It is essential that patients feel protected and understand that the nurse asking about violence is an intervention unto itself."

Abstract
This paper examines trends of the present time with regard to how household labor is carried out differently, according to differences of gender. In spite of a generation of more of activism in favor of improved gender equality in the family and shared domestic labor, there are important imbalances. Furthermore, there are new questions that must be asked by the researcher because of a greatly changed economic and social environment, over all, in North America since the 1960s. Each of the more recent sources read indicated that there were questions that would take more time to be answered.
