Abstract This paper examines the doublestandard that has been applied within the literary world. It takes the lives of three women authors: Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Mary Rowlandson, and Anzia Yezierska, and examines the commonality of their struggle to find and secure the women's identity.
From the Paper "Women's literature has long been characterized by the struggle to establish the feminine experience in accordance with accepted standards within the context of the world at the time of writing. Women have long been repressed to a very small section of the literary world and as such, they have had to struggle with preconceived notions, cultural standards, and intellectual bigotry against them, which is reflected in their writing. Women authors have perceived themselves, particularly those from previous two centuries, as having to nearly shout to be heard."
This paper is a review of research stating that a good coach is a "Double-Goal Coach": Coaching skills and winning games plus assisting athletes to develop strong and constructive character traits.
Abstract This paper illustrates how coaches sustain professional standards of behavior, elucidate their expert functions and compulsions, recognize suitable conscientiousness for their manners and adjust their means to the requirements of dissimilar athletes in the high school. The author believes that recruitment judgments for high school institutions must be based on a precise fortitude that the athletes are critically dedicated to getting an education and has or will expand their academic skills and character to do well. The paper stresses that successful coaches ought to try and build the following vital characters: Purpose, skill, understanding, character and habits.

Summary Conclusion & Recommendation
From the Paper "Research reveals that the high school coaches can improve capability in teamwork, collaboration, management ability, interpersonal ability and strength of mind. While participating in the athletics and training, a lot of high school athletes gain knowledge from their high school coaches of the worth of justice and the idea of right and wrong. Coaches allow young athletes to learn appropriate physical forcefulness under a supervised and restricted state of affairs and give high school athletes with an opening to find out how to interrelate properly with grown-ups and influencing people other than their parents. Coaches also can encourage friendships amid athletes and families across ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groupings."

Abstract This paper states that the clear-cut agenda of the United States in Lebanon is to have a Lebanese government, which is pro-U.S. rather than pro-Syria; therefore, it wants the Syrian forces to withdraw immediately from the country. The author points out that the neo-cons in Washington are known to have deep links with the Israelis (particularly the Likud Party) and are committed to furthering their aims. The paper concludes that the U.S. has completely disregarded Syria's vehement denials of its involvement and, rather surprisingly , ignored the suggestion that Al-Qaeda may be behind the killings because of Hariri's well-known ties to the Saudi monarchy.

From the Paper "The current escalating political crisis in Lebanon was precipitated by the crude Syrian maneuver last year to pressurise the Lebanese Parliament into amending the Lebanese constitution in order to extend the term of the pro-Syrian President Emile Lahoud. The move was widely condemned internationally, in particular by the United States. The moral outrage shown by the United States, however, was more than a little ironic, given the fact that it had attempted an equally dubious move in 1958 to extend the term of the pro-American president Camille Chamoun."
Abstract This essay asserts that in the broader issue of reproductive rights, pro-life strategists apply a doublestandard when it comes to minorities and their reproductive rights. The paper maintains that when the focus is changed from abortion to broader reproductive freedom, the pro-life advocates apply race and class criteria that distinguish between the rights of white, middle-class women and low-income women of color. The paper further asserts that pro-life activists advocate policies that discourage childbearing by depriving low-income women of the means to support a child and that the pro-life movement has sought to discourage women on welfare from becoming pregnant by punishing them when they bear children.
From the Paper "These policies designed to control the child-bearing of poor women are but the latest in a series of practices that date back to the eugenics movement of the 19th century, which promoted, racial theories of "fitness" and "unfitness." During this time of a significantly declining birth rate within the white population, politicians and eugenicists raised the specter of white "race suicide." The eugenics movement, which was adopted briefly by the birth control movement in the early 20th century, advocated a higher birthrate for white, middle class, "fit" women and a lower birthrate (aided by birth control) for poor women, especially poor "unfit" women of color and immigrant women."
Abstract This paper explains that capital punishment is not a means for society to take revenge and can never replace the harm done or return the life that the killer has forever taken; however, people should be accountable for their actions, especially for acts as irreversible as murdering another human being. The author examines statistics to establish that, in proportion to the number of death-sentence type crimes they commit, women are much less likely actually to be executed than men are. The paper states that American attitudes about women who commit acts of violence, represents one of the few remaining sexual doublestandards, still clearly evident in public institutions because women who kill generally receive light sentences and society's compassion and forgiveness.
From the Paper "Since the beginning of the colonial era, 20,000 people have been lawfully executed in America but only 400 of these were women and 27 of these women were executed when found guilty of witchcraft. In the 23 years that capital punishment has been reinstated by the Supreme Court, 5,569 death sentences have been pronounced--yet only 112 of these were to women. It seems that only 2 percent of executions and 1.5 percent of death row inmates are women--these statistic have remained constant for the past 20 years."
Abstract This paper explains that Elizabeth Cady Stanton is credited with the authorship of "The Seneca Falls Declaration" (1848), the seminal of the United States feminist movement, which then was called woman's suffrage because women, along with African Americans and Native Americans, were still disenfranchised. The author points out that, after the death of her brother, young Elizabeth vowed to do all in her power to become manly, which, to her, meant becoming learned and courageous, so she studied Greek, learned to ride a horse like a man and developed an independent intellectual life. The paper relates that when she listed all the economic grievances in the "Declaration of Sentiments", from denial of educational opportunity to making her 'civilly dead' upon marriage, Elizabeth Cady Stanton was the first to describe the double-standard, a concept that still lingers.
From the Paper "By the time, the married Elizabeth Cady Stanton moved with her family to Seneca Falls, NY, in 1937, her life had degenerated into the typical one of a rural woman of her era: too much looking after too many people, from children to servants. While she slaved, white men's rights were expanding and reformers, among them Susan Anthony and Lucretia Mott, recognized that "Jacksonian equality was rhetoric as far as women and slaves were concerned." Still, there had been other small movements. During the 1830s, it became possible for married women to own property that had brought into a marriage and the money they earned; this eventually undermined male dominance to a small degree. The changes had not, however, been altruistic, a representation of the uncommon notion that women were morally superior to men."
Abstract This paper explains that Sylvia Plath in her novel "The Bell Jar" was not just telling a story; she was chronicling the struggles faced by the feminist movement of the 1960s and 1970s. The author points out that the feminist movement faced several obstacles that are displayed in this book as problems also faced by Esther; her mother, men and other women represent the stereotypes, elements of disrespect and doublestandards faced by the feminist movement in the 1950s in which this novel is set. The paper relates that one of the problems faced by Esther is her belief that an independent career woman should not really need a man in her life to feel complete and even feels that she does not want to get married; however, other women press her into believing that a girl needs a man to be a real woman and start treating her differently after Buddy asks her to his school dance.
From the Paper "Esther's problems with other women do not stop with her classmates though. She also receives pressure to fit a stereotype by Mrs. Willard, Buddy Willard's mother. This is a woman who also encourages the idea that women belong to men and should live to serve them. When she tells both Esther and Buddy that, "What a man is is an arrow into the future and what a woman is is the place the arrow shoots off from."(72), she is not only giving Buddy this idea of what a woman should be but also persuading Esther just where a woman's place is. Marilyn Boyer supports this by arguing that women are held back by what society deems to be their functions, cooking, cleaning, and raising kids. Esther does not want this kind of life, one in which her only purpose is to make a husband happy."
Abstract This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the essay, "Advertising Sets a DoubleStandard for the Male Gender," written by William Sea. Specifically, the paper discusses Sea's argument that advertisers are hoping to create misleading notions of masculinity. The paper supports Sea's conclusions based on the content of several advertisements featuring images of masculinity.
From the Paper "What is so interesting about these commercials is not the stereotypes and offensive portrayals of men; it is that they seem to work, and that men accept them. It seems as if men view these men as somehow removed from themselves or reality. They can laugh at them, but they do not identify with them, instead, they identify with the manly undertones the commercials seem to contain. The men in this commercial are dunderheads, but the men watching the commercial feel superior, because they know enough to go to Carl's already, and that makes them some how removed from the poor, dumb slobs in the commercials. By using these alternative views of men, they are actually appealing to men, who always seem to be in competition with something or someone, and so, they perpetuate these alternative and offensive views of men."
This paper analyzes the following three articles on the nature of imprisonment and incarceration in the American prison system: "DoubleStandard on Drug Sentences" by Cynthia Tucker; "Time", by Nathan McCall; and "Mother's Day in Federal Prison" by Amanda
Abstract This paper analyzes three essays concerned with the nature of imprisonment and with those that suffer incarceration in the American prison system; : "DoubleStandard on Drug Sentences" by Cynthia Tucker; "Time", by Nathan McCall; and "Mother's Day in Federal Prison" by Amanda Coyne. Two of the essays discussed are concerned with drugs and imprisonment and two of the essays also are concerned with the ways in which men and women (and their families) deal with incarceration. This multiple analysis looks at the prison system, and whether it fairly treats those who are imprisoned.
From the Paper "Most of the works here see the drug-user as a victim of the wars against drugs: they are unfairly taken from children, or families (Even, in Tucker, from becoming 'Tax-paying citizens" (Tucker, 1998, page 3)). This is not met with agreement by the McColl piece; his drug-dealer is a partially dangerous, partially benevolent wide-boy. He is, however, the only one to treat the system as a business opportunity, and the only one of all the characters in the articles to undermine the system to the extent of escaping."
Abstract The writer explores the standards that American workers demand and are given in the workplace, as compared to the substandard working conditions that American companies provide foreign workers overseas. The writer then discusses the impact of this practice on society, environment and the labor standards in general. The paper contends that the time has come for US companies to show by example to the rest of the world that it is possible to be fair and profitable at the same time.

Conclusion
From the Paper "During recent years, workers in the United States have watched helplessly as US corporations move their operations to other countries. While the corporations defend their actions with financial rhetoric the news media continues to uncover unsafe working conditions, environmental dumping and dirt poor wages for those foreign employees who were initially thrilled to have an American company come to their area of the world. When the world looks at America they often see a land of opportunity. They are aware that United States workers have a high standard by which they work. They are provided breaks, safety equipment, regular wage increases and many times, benefits for not only themselves but also for their families."
Abstract This paper looks at dream sequences in Dostoevsky's novels "The Double" and "Crime and Punishment" and analyzes how they allow the reader to understand more about the psychology of the characters in a way that would be difficult to portray in the character's waking thoughts and actions.
From the Paper "In both The Double and Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky describes dream sequences that are very revealing about the fears of Mr. Golyadkin and Raskolnikov. Using his characters? nightmares as a way to convey something about their psychology allows Dostoevsky to reveal the characters? mental state with an untainted honesty that is not possible in their thoughts and actions. In this way, Dostoevsky is able to crystallize and clarify the characters? deepest fears. In particular, the examination of Golyadkin's dream about his double turning everyone against him reveals that his peers? opinions of him are of the highest importance to him, and as such, his great fear is that others will dislike him. Raskolnikov's dream about the horse reveals his fear of his own weakness, his fear and repression of his past, and his fear of his own humanity and capacity for compassion."

Abstract The paper outlines the objectives of auditing, the auditor's opinion within the standard and how the "Auditing Standard ASA 200" of Australia conforms with the "International Standard on Auditing". The paper lists the separate divisions of the "Auditing Standard ASA 200" and relates that the "Auditing Standard ASA 200" is for the most part, the same in the public and private sectors of Australia in terms of standards and requirements of auditing. The paper also identifies the internal controls that are expected by auditors to be present in the entities. The paper shows how the "Auditing Standard ASA 200" has undergone recent reform in 2006, and relates that this will very likely drive up the costs and expenses associated with auditing, however, it is not believed that these reforms will serve to boost the confidence of the public of financial reporting in Australia.

Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper "This case study conducts an examination of the Auditing Standard in Australia and specifically the 'Auditing Standard ASA 200' published in April 2006. The Auditing Standard ASA 200 is issued by the 'Auditing and Assurance Standards Board'. The purpose of the 'Auditing Standard' is to: (1) set out the objective of an audit of a financial report; (2) to require the auditor to comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagement; (3) to require the auditor to conduct an audit in accordance with Auditing Standards; (4) to require the auditor to comply with each of the Auditing Standards relevant to the audit in determining the audit procedures to be performed and to not represent compliance with Auditing Standards unless all of the Auditing Standards relevant to the audit have been complied with; (5) requires the auditor to, if possible, perform appropriate alternative audit procedures and to document certain matters where, in rare and exceptional circumstances, factors outside the auditor's control prevent the auditor from complying with an essential procedure contained within a relevant mandatory requirement."
Abstract The paper shows that the increased globalization of companies has led to a dilemma for investors because accounting standards in various capital markets are not always reliable. It shows too that in an effort to increase the reliability of financial information in capital markets the SEC seeks to maintain the high quality of financial reporting in the U.S., while working towards establishing a high quality financial reporting structure worldwide. This paper summarizes the issues presented in the SEC's concept release on International Accounting Standards. These issues include: the five elements of global financial reporting; exceptions to rules for foreign private issuers using accounting standards that differ from GAAP; and the three criteria for assessing the International Accounting Standards Committee.
From the Paper "Rigorously interpreted and applied: The development of high standards does not ensure that the standards will be upheld. In order for the standards to be practiced consistently accountants have to understand the responsibility they have in applying these standards consistently and in a manner that is needed to ensure high quality. This understanding only comes when regulators including auditors, rigorously interpret and apply these standards to accounting standards around the globe. The SEC contends that IASC standards are not used in many capital markets, which makes it impossible for them to be interpreted or applied. In addition countries that do utilize IASC standards have yet to incorporate the new changes created by the IASC."
Abstract This paper discusses whether or not Quaccess should move to adopt international accounting standards. It considers the role of financial statements and international implications. The author concludes that American firms should wait and see before moving toward adopting international standards.
