Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the increase in and accessibility of communications technology within developed countries has allowed for subsequent increases in the amount of contact between persons using technology. The writer notes that at times, this contact is unwanted or is uncalled-for, especially in terms of content that is harassment, solicitation, or a general nuisance. The writer discusses that when sent via email, such communications become even more worrisome as these tend to come from anonymous sources and it is difficult to identify the sender or encourage the sender to cease and desist.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that an e-health doctor-patient relationship is formed when communication begins. The writer maintains that online communication between doctors and patients can save time, money and be very satisfying to both parties if the process is structured well. The writer looks at issues, such as e-mail communication viewed as "treatment" and medicine practiced online by physicians who communicate via the Internet with patients. This paper discusses some ethical issues focusing on online communication and the doctor-patient relationship. The writer concludes that health care providers who provide specific or personal medical care or advice online must practice the principle of professionalism and should abide by their ethical codes of their profession just as they do for face-to-face interactions.

The Doctor Patient Relationship and e-Health
Conclusions

From the Paper
"A provider that responds to email may face ethical and legal obligation. When physicians provide telephone consultations payment does not seem to be a factor in a doctor-patient relationship, but payment of a fee for online education or advice may be seen as acceptance of a doctor-patient relationship
"An important issue for a physician to avoid is a patient claim of abandonment. There is a protocol that a physician must follow to successfully terminate the patient-doctor relationship. Abandonment is defined as the act of a physician terminating a relationship at an unreasonable time and without giving the patient the chance to find an equally qualified replacement."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the literary style of poet e.e. cummings. The paper first explains that, although Edward Estlin Cummings, e.e. cummings, had a classical Harvard education, he was part of the avant garde society of Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound and Picasso. The paper then discusses Cummings writing style, noting that he developed an unusual style of grammar using lower case letters, creating new linguistic patterns and making up his own words often with verbs as nouns. The paper analyzes Cummings' poem "l(a", published in 1958.

From the Paper
"The fact that Cummings was an artist is important for he obviously considered his poems an audio painting. He paid special attention to his punctuation. It is often an integral part of the work. His poems need to be read for the visual of the work is an important aspect of it. Among his many styles he sometimes used what is known as enjambment. The punctuation used is a way of directing the reader and steering him to the place he wants the reader to be. He is showing the reader how it is supposed to be read and enjoyed."

Abstract
This paper looks at the negative effect of spam on Internet use. The paper begins by describing the positive aspects of the Internet and how large numbers of people are using it for every day reasons. The paper then discusses some of the negative aspects of the Internet such as spam e-mails. It focuses on the product, Hoodia - a weight-loss product, that has been soliciting buyers by sending spam e-mails. The paper argues that spam must be stopped as it is destroying the enjoyment of using the Internet.

From the Paper
"Not only is the efficacy of Hoodia not proven, but Wikipedia notes that "Many products claiming to contain Hoodia do not actually contain the active ingredient alleged to suppress appetite" (Wikipedia, on web page cited). Yet regardless of all this, innocent computer users who merely wanted to check their E-mail were subjected to a barrage of literally billons of spam emails during 2006, all of them offering Hoodia extracts to solve obesity problems. This prompted many complaints to the American Federal Trade Commission - but as usual, very few prosecutions and convictions. (Wikipedia)"

Abstract
This paper discusses the issues involved in running an online business. It outlines the methods of communication, in particular e-mail. The paper explains how communication in this method is quicker, more efficient and more direct. Employees deal directly with outside customers and suppliers, the workplace develops a flatter structure, employees are empowered, employees become more equal and manager-employee communication is increasingly by written e-mail rather than face-to-face communication. These changes and their impact are discussed in this paper.

From the Paper
"The benefits of e-mail communication, both internal and external, is that it is quick, efficient and direct. While e-mail communication lacks the interaction and feedback of face-to-face communication, it makes up for this by its other benefits. It is a quick means of communication that does not require the other party to be there at the time. Comparing this to the telephone, e-mail prevents employees from having to wait for someone to return their call or wait for a time convenient to them. Comparing e-mail to regular mail, e-mail has no delay, instead it is delivered immediately. This allows for increased efficiency in communications."

From the Paper
"For many companies in the Aerospace and Defense (A&D) industry the ethical challenges of selling to foreign governments and winning contracts over competing vendors located in these host countries leads to bribery and unethical offers of assistance in an attempt to win new business. The many ethical lapses of Boeing including their many harassment scandals (Atkins 2006) have become common knowledge, with extensive U.S. government of the entire A&D industry occurring as a result."

Abstract
This paper examines how, in order to write effective e-mails, business professionals should always look at e-mail in the same regard that they look at sending a typical business letter. It looks at how companies realize the cost of postage and stationery is nothing in comparison to how the letter is presented, and e-mail should be seen in the same light. It demonstrates how e-mail should comply with statutory and regulatory requirements and how it should integrate with existing business systems as much as possible.

From the Paper
"David Angell, author of The Elements of E-mail Style, advises every professional to focus on 20 percent of English grammar, usage, and mechanics issues that cause 80 percent of the problems when writing e-mails. When that is done, he explains, e-mail messages improve dramatically. (Angell, 1994, 4) Leslie O?Flahavan agrees with Angell. Everyone who writes a business e-mail ?must be able to control the tone of their writing so their e-mail messages will have the results they intend,? she says. Tone is essential because it reveals the attitude toward the topic as well as the attitude toward the customer. Because e-mails lack the body language of in-person communication, words carry more feeling, says O?Flahavan (2001)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that laws such as The Hospital Information Privacy and Portability (HIPPA) have limited the ability for e-health providers to use or transfer patient information without permission of the patient. The writer maintains that patients believe that online interactions are more unsafe then those interactions completed by phone or in person. Despite this distrust e-health continues to grow. Due to the large amount of ethical issues that can come up when using e-health, this paper concentrates on what information is appropriate to place on e-health Internet sites. The writer notes that little legislation has been enacted to determine what information is appropriate for posting as part of an e-health program. At present the responsibility to post e-health information in an ethical manner still falls on the provider. The writer concludes that e-health providers must be sure to act in accordance with the standards that have been nearly unanimously suggested to provide patient safety.

Outline:
Introduction
Conclusion

From the Paper
"E-health information is often located on websites which may sell advertising space to outside parties that are not directly linked to the e-health site. According to most ethical standards the sale of advertising space on an e-health site is not in itself unethical, but there must be an obvious indicator that the advertisement is not part of the health information being offered. A second ethical issue that is apparent in the sale of advertising space to third parties is the quality of information in the advertisements. The e-health provider has an obligation to ensure that information placed on the website is reliable, regardless of whom has written the information."

Abstract
This paper examines the writings of famous African-American authors such as James Baldwin, W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington, and discusses their experiences and understanding of what it meant to be a Black-American in post-war America. The paper focuses primarily on the work of James Baldwin and his description of the destruction of his race and the injustice and the force to which African-Americans were subjected.

From the Paper
"Baldwin's experience was that of a black man trying to find meaning and success and identity in apartheid America. Being black--or Negro, in the vernacular of the time--was a crucial fact of life. Baldwin observes the creation and the effects of "the projects," slums, and ghettoes on both the city-dwellers who live there and those who create them in the first place. James Baldwin's "Fifth Avenue, Uptown: A Letter from Harlem" is about one of these 'projects' that has captivated the blacks within the lanes of Harlem. Baldwin desperately and passionately hated the streets of Harlem not for what they were but rather, what they stood for. According to Baldwin the neighborhoods were distinctive in place and culture. They differed from America in all terms and manners. The law, schools, professional associations, and judicial institutions in these neighborhoods, were 'protected by law enforcement not of this territory. Baldwin's "occupation thesis," of course, challenges the American Dream and suggests an endemic basis for social unrest. But, the implication to be developed here is for how we understand law. Jurisprudence rather than policy, ethics, or political theory, is the issue and the challenge is just as compelling."
