Abstract
This paper discusses Giles Corey in the the Salem witch trials, which reveals that there was no legitimate case against him; rather, it appears that Corey was presumed to be guilty by mere association. The author points out that Corey did not help his case by refusing to plead one way or another, but records indicate that he was in what we commonly refer to today as a loose-loose situation. The paper concludes that Giles Corey is a significant figure in American history because his death illustrates the magnitude of mob mentality; his death, along with the deaths of the other so-called witches, should serve as a constant reminder of how not to behave when things begin to get complicated.

From the Paper
"Corey's testimony against his wife certainly did damage in many respects. According to Marion Starkey, Corey was a "blundering husband" who tried his best to tell the court the truth about Martha. This truth, Starkey notes, was "unimpressive, unconvincing." His testimony revealed that Corey "found it hard to pray when Martha was about and was in turned bothered by her own fluency in prayer." Not only did this testimony bring more doubt against his wife, many in the courtroom thought that "his very stupidity" might be a "mask for something else." Hoffer looks into the possibility that Corey might have been legitimately confused at his wife's trial. In all fairness, Hoffer notes that Corey was as "bewildered as anyone at the antics of the girls." It is understandable that his confusion regarding his wife was not only used against her but it was also used against him as well. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the book "Ethical Standards," by Corey, Corey and Callanan, which was written to assist counselors in their daily lives as professionals and which stresses a working knowledge of ethics as a means of functioning effectively in the profession. The paper explains that the purpose behind the text is to allow the counselor or student to explore ethics in a manner that can be applicable to real life situations and develop personal ethical standards. The writer further explains that at the core of the ethical exploration suggested by the book is Corey, Corey and Callanan's (2007) contention that all counselors must ultimately make determinations on what solution will best benefit the client over the long term.

From the Paper
"According to Corey, Corey and Callanan (2007), taking this approach to ethics provides the most effective decisions, as well as answers that are based upon the counselor's purpose for functioning - the client's needs (p. 1). This information provides evidence that the authors ask counselors and future counselors to evaluate their own thinking and understand the personal position on ethics, as well as the position of the company, society and the individual prior to making a determination that will affect an individual's life. These are common sense steps that some counselors neglect because of the scope of importance of the work and the reliance of people on the decisions that must be made. "

Abstract
This paper explains that the main ideas of Amy Corey's article "Body Politics in Online Communication" are based on the public forum of the reality show, "Fear Factor", which she considers a discriminative communication tool. Her arguments, the author indicates, are founded on a research study conducted on the free online forum entitled "Fat Fear Factor" in which a subtle discussion over the issue of body representation is conducted. The paper analyzes the methods used by Corey as reported in this article.

From the Paper
"On the one hand, concerning the technicalities of online communication, from the analysis conducted to the lines of the messages and responses to posts, she concludes that there is indeed distinctiveness in the way in which people communicate online versus face-to-face communication. More precisely, in the first situation they are more willing to talk about the issues otherwise would be reluctant to address such as for instance body fat or the way in which society treats overweight people."

Abstract
The paper provides a critical discussion of a 1994 compilation of essays on women's domestic and other menial work, by Wenona Giles & Arat-Koc. The paper discusses the strengths of a book but adds that its models are now outdated in terms of kinds of workers, ethnicity, and how educated women view proper careers or balances of work/domestic sphere. The paper also notes that the work does not mention the groups of labourers involved and the forces abroad that work to produce women seeing North American 'menial' work as desirable.

From the Paper
"Wenona Giles & Sedef Arat-Koc compiled seven articles by feminist scholars on women workers seen as `menial' in Canada, the United States and Britain. (1994) The volume is helpful if a reader does not know of the world of foreign cleaning women, child minders, hotel, retail or fast-food workers, their working conditions, pay or the manner in which some are exploited. The volume is limited in a stress on exploitation, occupational hardship, or matters of race, ethnicity and gender, as if women of certain kinds are forced to carry out jobs of the kind. Audrey Macklin's paper leads others in an explanation of groups entering Western countries as..."

Abstract
This paper explains that there is a striking difference between Ronald Miao's translation of "Boudoir Thoughts" by Hsu Kan, which is closer to the text of the original, than the very Western-style translation by Herbert Giles. The author points out that, in Miao's translation, the speaker seems to be mourning the loss of the beloved without blame or bitterness; whereas, in Giles's reinterpretation, the speaker seems alienated from the beloved and filled with bitterness. The paper relates that the general tone of the poem in Miao's translation is quieter and has more resigned speech; in Giles's translation, the tone is far more exorbitant and uses passionate words.

From the Paper
"This difference begins when Giles addresses the clouds directly, as if they were human: "O floating clouds... bear on your wings these words... Alas, you float along nor heed my pain, and leave me here..." Giles looks at the clouds and sees them as cruel beings who will betray and abandon the poet. Miao, on the other hand, uses the silence of the clouds as a way to show the scale of the poet in relationship to the world, and to express not abandonment but distance."

Abstract
This paper reviews three articles on the topic of teaching and learning; "Can Generation X-ers Be Trained?" by Shari Caudron, which focuses on training in the business environment; "A Tale of Four Learners" by Bernice McCarthy, which focuses on the school environment; and "Intergenerational Learning" by Corey Murray and David Bank, which focuses on the community college environment. The paper summarizes the articles and discusses ways in which they could be improved upon. The author also compares and contrasts the articles against one another.

From the Paper
"Having noted the above, the article could benefit from a clearer explication of different teaching methods that could work not only for the different groups, but for integrated groups as well. Another limitation is that the article differentiates between two age groups, without acknowledging that there could be learning style differences within a single age group. While therefore accepting that there could be different learning styles, the article still treats these somewhat simplistically."

Abstract
In this paper, the student describes "Maid in the Market", a collection of 1980s/early 1990s papers, on foreign domestic workers and how they are exploited.

From the Paper
"This book is made of several essays by feminist professors on foreign domestic workers in Canada, Chicana workers in the United States, paid childcarers in Canada, cleaning women in private sector and domestic settings, Portuguese hotel labourers in London, women who work in North American fast food businesses, and retail workers. (1994) It is a contribution to scholarship on women in the workplace, jobs seen as menial, immigrant labour and the room for exploitation when demand exists for low-cost workers in developed societies and in job areas that are..."

Abstract
The paper examines "Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions" where the authors focus on the issue of ethics in relationship to counseling professionals. The paper shows how the text is both a source of information and a tool that counselors can use in their development of personal ethical standards that will allow them to become more effective professionals.

From the Paper
"Corey, Corey and Callanan (2007) focus on the issue of ethics in relationship to counseling professionals. The purpose behind the text is to allow the counselor or student to explore ethics in a manner that can be applicable to real life situations and develop personal ethical standards that are essential for working with clientele. At the core of the ethical exploration suggested by the book, however, is Corey, Corey and Callanan's (2007) contention that all counselors must ultimately make determinations best on what solution will benefit the client over the long term (p. 1). According to Corey, Corey and Callanan (2007), taking this approach to ethics provides the most effective decisions, as well as answers that are based upon the counselor's purpose for functioning - the client's needs (p. 1)."

Abstract
The paper shows that the movie, "The Crucible" was derived entirely from the book entitled, "Salem Possessed: the Social Origins of Witchcraft" by Paul S. Boyer, with only a few differences, owing to technical limitations in movie production. The paper compares both book and movie and shows how the characters are presented in both.

From the Paper
"Rather than genuine witchcraft or evil magic, historic researches on these witch trials reveal social, political and economic forces as the motivations behind, and true causes of, the spread of the witch craze in the colonies. For one, Salem Town and Salem Village had distinct occupations: Salem town was in the professions, such as inn-keeping, pottery, sawmill operation and shoemaking and gaining wealth though the then new economic order called capitalism. Salem Village, on the other hand, remained in the farm. The Villagers wanted to have their own church, which was necessary for the break they wanted to have from the Puritans, but which Salem town refused them. The Villages saw the town people grow richer, greedier and less devoted to the community."
