" FEAR AND SCREENING FOR CERVICAL CANCER: A REVIEW OF THE
LITERATURE
Introduction
The importance of screening in conditions of cervical cancer cannot be overestimated; this because improvements in women's cancer-screening behaviors can lead to a reduction in the incidence of cervical cancer. Indeed, Chamberlain (1983) reports that the very purpose of cancer screening is to detect and treat the disease at an early stage when it is still curable. The benefits of cancer screening are improved prognosis for some cases detected by screening, less radical treatment to cure some early cases, reassurance for those with negative test results, and resource savings from less radical treatment.
However, in order to elevate screening participation, it is.."

Abstract
The paper addresses Cesare Beccaria's school of thought on deterrence and other criminal theorists' ideas on the measure of deterrence brought about by public shame. The paper offers many examples of sentences and penalties specifically designed to create both shame and embarrassment, such as the case of a female shoplifter sentenced to wearing a sandwich board style sign that says "I am a thief: I stole from Wal-mart". The paper considers the arguments for and against this unconventional means of punishment and supports the investigation and further analysis of these methods.

From the Paper
"There's no doubt about it. Americans are obsessed with crime and justice. The quest to explain criminality and the desire to see justice served dominates everything from our weekly top ten most watched television shows to our political debates. Concerns about crime rates and how to deal with those that commit the crimes are no longer reserved for the media nor debated only in political arenas but now extend into the most personal aspects of our everyday lives. Theories of the who, what, when, where, and why of crime find their way into our work places, our community school meetings and even our religious services. Recent decades have seen experts in sociology, psychology, and numerous other sciences venture in the arena of crime and punishment. They join the politicians, the statisticians, members of law enforcement, officers of the courts and the everyday American in the pursuit of defining who commits crimes, why they commit crime, how to prevent them from committing crime, and most intriguing of all, just what in the world to do with individuals once they have chosen to commit crime."

Abstract
The paper explains that employers are willing to provide some freedom in accepting gifts of nominal value, subject to the provisions, rules, and codes of the organization?s ethical policy. The author stresses that the practice of accepting gifts is an ethical issue because it involves a moral dimension. The paper relates that the refusal of a gift may cause embarrassment or offense to the donor and may ultimately affect relationships.

From the Paper
"Ballard Power Systems Inc. has evolved comprehensive guidelines on corporate governance, which covers code of ethics in the workplace. The conflict of interest policy does not permit employees to accept money or gifts from suppliers or customers, especially where such an act could influence or there are reasonable grounds to believe that such acts may influence Ballard's business relationships with such suppliers or customers. However, the company allows accepting gifts of nominal value of less that $50; it also permits employees to accept customary and proper social invitations, as long as there are no reciprocal obligations. Ballard urges employees to use their personal judgment and common sense when they are trying to decide whether or not to accept a gift. It also strictly prohibits employees from soliciting gifts, whether of nominal value or otherwise."

Abstract
This paper explains that the desire for instant communication without being tied to a particular machine can be dated as far back as 1843 when Michael Faraday, an analytical chemist, began exhaustive research into whether space could conduct electricity. The author points out that the cell phones, which were introduced commercially in the 1980s, were expensive and often difficult to carry; moreover, service provided by the cell phone carriers of the day was extremely poor in comparison to "land lines". The paper relates that, although early use of cell phones elicited embarrassment and laughter, usage advanced when, in addition to their professional connections, consumers demanded the ability to stay connected with children, spouses, friends, and other individuals on a more consistent basis than allowed by a land phone.

From the Paper
"Cell phones have existed longer in modern history and memory than might be commonly thought. Communicating in a wireless fashion, in fact, has existed almost as long as what are now termed "land lines" or ordinary phones. But it was not until 1977 that cell phones, along the lines of today's technology, first "went public." The state of Chicago began the first trials of cell phones with 2000 customers. Eventually other cell phone trials appeared in the Washington D.C. and Baltimore area. The next nation to make use of the technology after the United States was Japan, which began testing cellular phone service in 1979."

Abstract
In large countries, administering justice is by no means an easy task. This is because there are a great many people, composing a diverse demography amid a never-ending sea of social problems. In order to cope with these problems, criminal justice systems are set up to implement laws that address disorder. But in spite of the criminal justice system being established, intricacies created by social disorder mitigate the efficiency of the laws implemented. In addition to this, there may be other factors, such as malpractice by law enforcers that cause the justice system much embarrassment and dissatisfaction. This paper argues that the American criminal justice system appears to be composed of separate systems with weak links to each other, since they each act almost independently according to the discretion or loopholes in the law. The paper uses a case study to present its argument.

From the Paper
"Another weakness in the justice system is the allowance for law enforcing officers to use discretion. These are actions that are legitimate, but it must be remembered that these actions are allowed because of the fact that if every one had to be judged by the narrow descriptions of the law there would be many more people in jail than there already are. But the problem is that there have been several cases where police discretion has also been used in a negative fashion."

Abstract
This paper examines how the vitality of Roman religion, much like its Greek counterpart, can be found in its mythology. It looks at how the major myths, especially in the hands of the playwrights, served as a basis for creative re-interpretation, and old stories became a vehicle for new alleged truths. It explores how this steady flow of imagination has proved a continuous delight and inspiration to artists through the ages, but an embarrassment to scholars, for it is often quite difficult to disentangle the various motifs of a story and trace the myth back to its nuclear belief or ritual that started it on its long and varied course.

From the Paper
"The official gods of the Roman state served much more important functions. Their chief deity was Jupiter who, like his Greek counterpart Zeus, was primarily associated with the sky and its phenomena. Zeus was regularly viewed as the "cloud gatherer," the god of thunder, lightning and weather and presided over the daylight in opposition to his brother Hades, the god of the underworld and darkness. Jupiter was worshiped on the Capitoline Hill together with the goddess Minerva and Juno, Jupiter's consort, who was primarily a fertility figure and in one of her functions as Juno Lucina presided over childbirth. Minerva was the goddess of handicrafts, but her most important temple was on the Aventine Hill which served as the headquarters of a guild of writers and actors during the second war with Carthage."

Abstract
Euthanasia is the deliberate ending of life or the hastening of death of the patient. Over the last few years Euthanasia has become a much-debated topic, not only in the medical circles but also in the legal and the social domains. The paper shows that when looking into the topic of mercy killing we find that it is the ?fear factor? which underlies both sides of euthanasia debate. While from the patients perspective it is the fear of unbearable pain that cannot be assuaged, the embarrassment of dependence and the feeling of worthlessness and loss of self love. From the other angle we have a fear of doctors and the possibility of the abuse of the power. This paper analyzes the issue from ethical, social and medical perspectives and ultimately argues against the legalization of euthanasia.

From the Paper
"Euthanasia seems to be the only solution for the patient to escape from the clutches of unbearable and medically interminable illness and pain. For old people who are suffering miserably in the last stages of their life without any sort of control over their agonizing condition, it indeed seems rightful to assist them to rest peacefully once and for all by Euthanasia. The Pro Euthanasia groups argue that unless we are only considered with prolonging life without any consideration for the quality of the life and the costs that might be incurred we have to start thinking about the decisions that affect the end of life. In other words when the quality and the length of prolonged life do not go together we have to make some kind of a practical decision. The argument is that there is no point in simply sustaining a terminally ill patient and increasing his suffering without any hope of recovery. The justification for Euthanasia lies in the fact that the either the ?burden of the treatment' or the distress and the disability of the prolonged life do not merit the sustenance of the patient. Euthanasia is best advised in severe and chronic cases where condition seems to deteriorate day by day and the patient expresses a sincere wish to end the unbearable agony."

Abstract
Social phobia, also known as social anxiety disorder, is the fear of social situations and the interaction with other people that can automatically bring on feelings of self-consciousness, judgment, evaluation, and criticism. Simply put, it is the fear and anxiety of being judged and evaluated negatively by other people. This leads to feelings of inadequacy, embarrassment, humiliation, and possibly depression. A person may be shy to speak in public situations, but there is a time when the "shyness" becomes so severe that medical attention is needed. Social phobia is the third largest mental health care problem in the United States, and affects roughly 7% of the population at any given time. This paper attempts to give a comprehensive review of this disorder, covering all aspects of it,from its earliest forms of development, to all known possibilities for treatment.

Abstract
This paper reviews Act IV of William Shakespeare's "Othello" which discusses and illustrates Othello's lapses from sanity to insanity. It examines how Othello's insanity is the result of jealousy, betrayal and rage and how Act IV of "Othello" provides two incriminating pieces of evidence that make Othello confirm Desdemona's betrayal and adultery. Because of the supposed betrayal of two individuals that he trusted most, Othello wasn't able to gain control of his anger, jealousy and embarrassment - he later fell into an epileptic seizure, a sign of both physical and mental instability of his state.

From the Paper
"The first 'evidence' is the presence of handkerchief in Cassio's (in actuality, Bianca's) possession, while the second evidence is the conversation between Iago and Cassio that Othello had witnessed. Othello thought that the two men were talking about Desdemona, but in actuality, Cassio and Iago were talking about Bianca, to whom Cassio had relations with. With these two 'incriminating' evidence presented to Othello discreetly by the traitor Iago, Othello began raging about Desdemona's betrayal, about his hurt ego (although this is only implied), and the fact that Desdemona's treachery has to do with Othello's trusted man, Cassio."

Abstract
A teenager past or present--cannot help but commiserate with "Carrie" by Stephen King. Like to admit it or not, everyone has experienced some of the teasing, embarrassment and frustration that this protagonist, the main character of the story, has to endure. This paper shows how it is the ability to closely relate to Carrie that makes the story so real and that ropes the reader into the plot from the very beginning to the gruesome end. Who, the paper asks, cannot root for Cinderella in her fight against the evil stepsisters? The paper also refers to other storytellers who used the theme of revenge of the downtrodden in their novels, including Charles Brockden Brown's "Wieland" and works by Edward Allen Poe.

From the Paper
"Unlike most of King's other novels, Carrie has a positive resolution. At the end of the book, we find our beliefs about the supernatural are justified. A telekinesis gene does exist. Despite the massive body count and property destruction, people must admit the existence of the paranormal and agree to screen newborns for the gene so their talent can be channeled into something less destructive. And maybe, just maybe, people will become more humane and not taunt others for being different."
