This thesis proposal is on the relationship between women drinkers and the negative effect they have on the workplace mainly in terms of cost production.

Abstract
This paper explains that alcohol kills many more teenagers than all illicit drugs combined; alcopops, which attract the younger drinkers by engaging them in a lifestyle that includes alcohol as an integral part of recreation and friendship activities, crosses an ethical line in much the same way as the ethically challenged "Joe Camel" smoking advertising strategy. The author points out that business transactions are based on the relationship and the level of trust a community grants an organization; thus, the measure of an organization's effectiveness will include the level of integrity and ethics within which it operates. The paper concludes that organizations today face the possibility of having any of their actions, which are ethically questionable as in the case of alcopops, put to public scrutiny by investigative reporters and public interest groups, resulting in embarrassment, loss of public confidence, and loss of reputation.

From the Paper
"In Germany, where the drinks are marketed with much more veracity toward the younger crowd, the German Drugs Commissioner is calling for taxes on alcopops to be doubled as a way of raising the prices beyond the reach of many teens. The move comes after a German study showed that alcopops were becoming the drink of choice of teenagers. These sugary mixtures were leading teen down that slippery path to hard liquor and heavy drinking partially because of their marketing and particularly because of the direct connection between these products and their stronger older brothers. Smirnoff is a worldwide leader in Vodka production, Jack Daniels is one of the nations oldest, and best-known whiskey producers."

Abstract
This paper is about the effects of the media on underage drinkers. The author focuses on the television industry targeting college students and how drinking problems arise early in teenagers and adolescents.

From the Paper
'Teenagers in general are being targeted more and more every year. The alcohol-related fatalities among teenagers rise every year. If the alcohol companies would target an audience other than children this could all be prevented. Media exposure at younger and younger ages is shaping the way children are going to think. The alcohol advertising agencies are shaping the future of so many kids, with promises of a positive outcome due to drinking."

Abstract
This paper discusses how alcohol is found throughout our society, yet, unlike illegal drugs, many people approve of alcohol. According to the paper, many people find it easier to get along in our society as a drinker rather than a teetotaller. The paper further notes that drinking alcohol is generally seen as very socially acceptable, and is often the basis of social events. The paper concludes by noting the consequences of irresponsible or out of control alcohol consumption, which may lead to a variety of problems.

From the Paper
"Alcohol is found throughout our society. Unlike illegal drugs, many people approve of alcohol, and it may in fact be easier to get along in our society as a drinker rather than a teetotaller. Drinking alcohol is generally seen as very socially acceptable, and is often the basis of social events. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to drink alcohol safely and responsibly. On the contrary, irresponsible or out of control alcohol drinking leads to many social problems. Therefore, alcohol is all around us, but it can lead to serious problems. Thus, there is a responsibility for teachers to teach children about the potential problems of alcohol...."

Abstract
This paper relates the biography of Edouard Manet and a chronological description of his work. The author points out that studying Manet's art and its relationship with society during this key period in the history of art must take into consideration the revitalization and modernization of Paris, which was occurring in the 19th century under Baron Haussmann at the same time. The paper discuses the style, content, influence on other painters and relationship to the historical period of many of Manet's paintings, including "The Absinthe Drinker", "Spanish Guitar Player", "Dejeuner sur l'Herbe" and "A Bar at the Folies-Bergere".

From the Paper
"Perhaps the most radical aspect of 1862's "La Musique aux Tuileries" is the fact that it contains no real subject. This painting is quite a departure from Manet's previous concern with the destitute of Paris. It celebrates the high-class, fashionable society of Paris during this time - a part of society that Manet and his friends were indelibly a part of. There is no real central subject in the painting, though - we are at a celebration of some sort, and are able to lose ourselves in the swirl of the crowd. In this respect, the painting is "out of focus," like being lost in a real crowd."

Abstract
The paper describes the patient as a Mr. K, a family friend who is 67 years old and has lung cancer. The paper relates that lung cancer has four stages (Hunt, 2008) and he is in stage one where the cancer is still confined to the left lung. The paper explains that he has had one-quarter of that lung removed, he began smoking about 20 years ago when he was injured at work and was living on compensation, his income has been erratic ever since, he is careless about his diet and is a moderate drinker and his wife died 10 years ago and his two children live in Alberta. The paper also notes that he has two close friends who help him when things become overwhelming. The paper looks at how MacLeod and Smith (2003) explain that the patient's physical and social environment can amount to misery and therefore will impact negatively on health.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Many of the neurons (brain cells) of a long-time Alcoholic begin to die; consequently their brain is different from a normal brain. Scanning procedures, Computed Tomography (CT) or Positron Emission Tomography (PET) reveal that the total volume of an alcoholic's brain undergoes shrinkage due to permanent and irreplaceable death of cells. Moreover, Alcohol adversely affects different neurotransmitter systems in the brain; in low amounts it upsets the Gamma Amino Butyric Acid or the GABA system. It is noted that this effect is more pronounced in men than in women. Incase of higher levels it affects another common transmitter system called NMDA glutamate. Among chronic drinkers, brain cells and tissues adapt to the alcoholic fluid environments. These adaptations deal with excitement and inhibition control."

Abstract
This paper relates that American biographer, Catherine Drinker Bowen, calls the process of creating the US Constitution a miracle because of the many huge obstacles that had to be overcome during this process. The paper discusses Bowen's and other authors' details of the various oppositions, conflicts, debates, prejudices and other problems that had to be surmounted in order to form the new nation. The paper concludes that the US Constitution remains the heart of the American system and the guide for making decisions about legal, social, political, and economic matters.

From the Paper
"Bowen notes at the conclusion of her book that the Constitution was adopted in less than ten months "under the influence of local prejudices, opposite interests, popular arts, and even the threats of bold an desperate men," and that this was "a solitary event in the history of mankind" (Bowen, 1966, p. 310). What she writes in the body of her book are the details of the various oppositions, conflicts, debates, prejudices, and other problems that had to be overcome in order to form the new nation."

Abstract
This paper takes a comprehensive look at alcoholism, starting with the telltale signs of a problem drinker, the physical and mental effects of alcohol, alcohol's effects on society, the causes of alcoholism, as well as treatment and prevention.

From the Paper
"When a person is intoxicated, he tends to do things he would not do under normal circumstances. He may harm himself or those around him, drive recklessly, and embarrass himself by saying and/or doing foolish things. There are signs that distinguish the differences between problem drinking and alcoholism, and although there is no exact pattern, some of the basic symptoms of advanced alcoholism are: drinking daily, a high tolerance for liquor, drinking alone, drinking in the morning, withdrawal symptoms upon quitting, "blackouts" or loss of memory, loss of social ties, and guilt about drinking. The person becomes completely dependent on alcohol, physically and emotionally, and the substance controls every aspect of his life (Berger 11). Some secondary signs, or problem drinker signs include: problems related to or while drinking such as quarreling with a loved one or DUI, a failed attempt at quitting, hording extra drinks at a party or keeping an eye on the supply, and lying about usage."
