Abstract
This paper looks at how Alice Walker, following the great tradition of African-American literature, has been considered one of the women writers who fought to ?break the barrier? that divides African-Americans from other races and women from men in a dominantly white American and patriarchal society, respectively. In particular, it examines how, due to the extraordinary themes and powerful characterization of Celie, the main character in "The Color Purple", Walker has become one of America?s most prolific African-American women writers.
From the Paper
"What makes Walker successful in portraying the lives of African-American women? As reflected in The Color Purple, Walker sought to confront the primary issues and problems that African-American women (and women in general) experience during her time?that is, the issues of racial, gender, and socio-economic discrimination within African-American communities and the society. These issues include the racial discrimination against (by the dominant white American society) and among African-Americans; gender conflict between males and females, particularly in the struggle for power and dominance; repression of women through poverty; and coping with physical and emotional abuse, self-discovery, and lesbianism."

From the Paper
"The Saudi Arabian healthcare system is a national health care system. This means that health care services are government provisioned and this is accomplished through a number of governmental agencies. There is an increasing need for private sector health care provision of health care services in Saudi Arabia. The government agency in charge of administering health care is the Ministry of Health, which provides primary health care services through providers. Services provided include preventative services, rehabilitative and curatives services. In a recent report published in the Record it is reported that the School of Medicine's Health Administration Program along with BJC HealthCare's International Healthcare Services "has launched an unique executive master's program for Saudi Arabian physicians and health-care ministry executives at the request of the Saudi Ministry of Health." (Miller, 2006) The report states that the program "was created specifically for 18 participants from the Riyadh-based King Fasad Medical City, a four-hospital system that is one of the largest medical complexes in Saudi Arabia." (Miller, 2006) According to Daniel K. Mueller, Ph.D, assistant vice-chancellor for international affairs: 'Health-care systems in the world are all changing, and the ministry sees the need to train executives in the basic principles of management, finance and organization to improve health care for the population of the King Fasad Medical City serves." (Miller, 2006) One of the lessons that this programs teaches "is the importance of enhancing healthcare by improving the processes hospitals use." (Miller, 2006)"

"Break, Break, Break", 2004.
A critical analysis Lord Alfred Tennyson's "Break, Break, Break".
1,449 words (approx. 5.8 pages), 0 sources, MLA, $ 48.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The poem "Break, Break, Break" is a powerful expression of bereavement and irrecoverable loss. It was written by Lord Alfred Tennyson, probably in 1834, following the sudden death of his very close friend, Arthur Hallam, the previous year. This paper proves a critical analysis of the poem taking into account form, style and language and the ways in which these contribute to the expression of feeling.
From the Paper
"In the first stanza, Tennyson is so paralysed by the grief he is feeling that he cannot find the words to express and release his emotions even though he wants to. 'And I would that my tongue could utter/The thoughts that arise in me'. The second and third stanzas give way to external influences on Tennyson?s feelings - such as the fisherman's boy and what he sees on the water - and are framed by his very internal emotions in his address to the sea in stanzas one and four. This circular structure of the poem creates the imagery of the circle of life and the inevitability of old age and death."

Breaking the Bismarck?s Barrier, 2004.
A book review of "Volume VI: History of U.S. Naval Operations in Work War II: Breaking the Bismarck?s Barrier, 22 July 1942 to 1 May 1944" by Samuel Eliot Morison.

Abstract
This paper briefly reviews this volume of history, which describes one of the greatest tactical victories in the Pacific theater of World War II, the drive to capture the Solomon Islands. It gives a brief biography of the author and explains why he had the capacity to tell the military and Navy details as he did.
From the Paper
"This book is the sixth volume of a fifteen-volume series detailing all major U.S. Naval operations over the course of World War II. It is, like all volumes in the series, told from the U.S. military?s perspective rather than from an objective or ?distanced? perspective of a later historian. The author, Samuel Eliot Morison, was a Harvard professor at the time he was commissioned by President Roosevelt to reside aboard eleven different ships with the intent of witnessing battles in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and to record them for posterity. Morrison was part of the Navy as he recorded his observations. His work is thus a history ?of the moment? rather than a reflective history, and it does not attempt to present both sides of the conflict, only the United States? perspective in detail, and the United States? choice of military tactics from a laudatory perspective."

The Repressed/False Memory Debate and its Crucial Consensus, 2002.
Explores the nature of repressed memory and the ability of therapists to distinguish between true and false childhood memories.
3,650 words (approx. 14.6 pages), 9 sources, $ 133.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Summary: The repressed/false memory debate is marked by sharp polarities of what Loftus terms firm believers and skeptics who "point to the reconstructive nature of memory and ask for evidence and corroboration". The debate is far from theoretical since individual's reputations and futures are at stake. While the claims and arguments on both sides of the controversy will be discussed, the purpose here is to explore the nature of memory, repression and dissociation to determine if therapists can distinguish between true and false memories of childhood trauma.

Psychological Interrogation & False Confessions: A Literature Review, 2001.
A review of literature on psychological interrogation methods, false confessions and their implications.
4,738 words (approx. 19.0 pages), 28 sources, APA, $ 121.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper shows that while the use of psychological interrogation methods is currently permissible by the courts in Canada, Great Britain and the U.S.A., many researchers argue that psychological interrogation is, in essence, no different than blatant coercion. Confession Law has slowly evolved over time alongside the evolution of interrogation methods. The paper discusses how prior to the 18th Century, English Common Law accepted confessions without any restrictions, which allowed confessions extracted through torture to be accepted as viable representations of objective truth. Today, the bottom line on the admissibility of confessions is that they are "typically excluded if elicited by physical violence, by a threat of harm or punishment, by a promise of leniency or immunity from prosecution, or by failure to notify a suspect of his or her constitutional rights to counsel and silence" (Kassin & McNall, 1991). The paper shows that despite these seemingly stringent laws regarding the admissibility of confessions, psychological interrogation methods are adept at circumventing the law, and continue to employ methods that run the risk of eliciting false confessions. This paper reviews the literature on Psychological Interrogation methods, false confessions and the implications of both.

From the Paper
"Interrogation, as defined by the Merriam Webster Dictionary, is the act of "questioning; formally and systematically." Interrogations within criminal justice systems are used to gather information relevant to investigations, and more importantly, to elicit confessions from suspects. Methods of interrogation have changed drastically throughout history, but the ultimate goal of obtaining confessions has held constant. While the whips and chains of the past have now exited the western world's interrogation rooms, many scholars argue that today's suspects are still subjected to psychological tortures. Psychological Interrogation is the most recent approach used by law enforcement officials to extract information from suspects."

False Confessions, 2006.
This paper reviews an experiment relating to false confessions as conducted and reported by Saul M. Kassin and Katherine L. Kiechel (1996) in the article "The Social Psychology of False Confessions: Compliance, Internalization, and Confabulation".

Abstract
This paper examines research about coerced-internalized false confessions, which occur when innocent suspects actually believe that he or she is guilty of the crime; many of which are the result of police interrogation in which deceptive and deceitful practices may be used and accepted by the judicial system. The author points out that the article "The Social Psychology of False Confessions" tested the hypothesis that the presentation of false evidence can lead individuals who are vulnerable to confess to an act, which they did not commit, and, more important, to internalize the confession and perhaps confabulate details in memory consistent with that new belief. The paper relates that the researchers used an experimental method, which the paper describes, and concludes that this experiment was well-executed and well-reported.
From the Paper
"There were two independent variables in this experiment. First, the subject's level of vulnerability was manipulated by varying the pace of the task. Therefore, the confederate read at either a fast or slow pace. Second, the experimenters varied the use of false incrimination evidence. The confederates either "witnessed" or acknowledged the mistake or some confederates did not "witness", or see the subject touch the ALT key. The dependent variable was the confessions. Three forms of social influence were evaluated: compliance, internalization, and confabulation. To assess compliance, the experimenter handwrote a confession and asked the subject to sign it. "

Cartographic Relief Representation, 2007.
This paper is a literature review to provide a historical overview of techniques for topographical relief representation in map-making.
3,815 words (approx. 15.3 pages), 14 sources, APA, $ 104.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, although global positioning systems provide cartographers with the ability to pinpoint topographical features and today the ability to express relief and contours on modern maps is commonplace, it was not always this easy. The author points out that, while the history of map-making is truly ancient, the ability to communicate accurately relief features on maps began in Italy during the 15th century. The paper concludes that today's cartographer enjoys the benefits of centuries of research into different ways of communicating three-dimensional features on two-dimensional planes and that the introduction of powerful three-dimensional computer-based visualization applications represents a true milestone in cartography history. The paper includes quotations and illustrations.

From the Paper
"According to Kirschenbauer and Buchroithner (2001), although these three-dimensional techniques provide the user with a decent overall impression of the represented relief, the transmission of detailed information and precise height data as it is rendered by contour lines is not simplified to any significant degree. This is because any of the older (which is to say a couple of years) present detailed landforms with techniques that do not provide a truly comprehensive picture yet. However, these authors emphasize that new technological innovations are making strides in this direction every day."

False Memory Effects, 2003.
An investigation and explanation of false memory and why people use it.
1,100 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores what false memory is and how and why we use it. It also explores the difference between semantic and phonological processing. The effects of false memory and the varying factors influencing it including thought processing and time before encoding are investigated and discussed thoroughly. The papers also compares this experiement to other similar studies. The results are consistent across all participants and support the theory of false memory effects efficiently.
From the Paper
"One hypothesis that can be looked at is: HA: False memory effects are influenced by the depth of processing at encoding. HO: False memory effects are not influenced by the depth of processing at encoding. This can be studied by looking at the empirical results and searching for a large difference between the amount of unstudied critical words and the amount of unstudied unrelated words that are ?remembered? across the field of participants. Another hypothesis that can be tested is: HA: False memory effects occur for phonological as well as semantic associates of encoding lists. HO: False memory effects occur for only phonological associates of encoding lists. From the results, it cannot be proven that these types of false memory effects absolutely exist, but can be strongly argued that they do. The larger amount of participants used the better the result that we can achieve."

Administrative Discretion and Active Representation, 2004.
An analysis of an article by J.E.Sowa and S.C. Selden, called "Administrative Discretion and Active Representation: An Expansion of the Theory of Representative Bureaucracy."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines this article whose purpose is to look at the theory of representative bureaucracy in a slightly different way. Most studies dealing with representative bureaucracy have focused on active representation, but have not looked into the administrative discretion that is often tied to it. It explains how this study seeks not only to discuss the theory of representative bureaucracy, but then move on to administrative discretion and how it is often tied into the active representation of what one does. The main research question is whether administrative discretion and active representation are actually tied together and whether it affects how individuals who are making decisions based on minority status tend to make decisions in favor of those who are of the same race or ethnic background as they are.
From the Paper
"The research model that is used is an empirical analysis and is conducted based on a housing loans program and whether individuals who are of minority descent will have a better chance of getting a home loan if the individual who is helping them with the loan is also of their same background. There are several variables in this particular study, with the first one being administrative discretion (Sowa & Selden, 2003). The variables that were chosen were utilized because they were believed that they would affect the behavior of various administrators and this in turn would determine whether decisions that had to do with minority interest would be made by these individuals. The administrative discretion is used in this particular study to see what impact it has on the various policy outcomes that work in favor of minority interest (Sowa & Selden, 2003)."

Political Parties and Representation in Modern Democracies, 2006.
A discussion regarding to what extent the functioning of political parties can explain the crisis of representation of the 'people' in modern democracies.

Abstract
This paper takes an in-depth look at political parties and issues that surround representation of the people in modern democracies. According to the paper, political parties, in their organization and their functioning, display numerous problems in terms of representation. The paper focuses particularly on two of these problems, the modes of government and the modes of funding. The paper also analyzes the aftermaths of the logic of electoral competition for the representation of the membership and the electorate.
From the Paper
"Political representation is quite a hard concept to grasp. It was rejected by the French during the Revolution as an impediment to the self-government of the people. Nonetheless, I will try to show that political representation is necessary for ensuring freedom in our modern democracies.
But first let us turn back to our French Revolution and the establishment of what could be considered as a quasi-totalitarian regime. In France, traditional feudal aristocratic society was undermined by an absolutist and centralist state. When the French Revolution broke out, the remaining feudal instances were destroyed even further (loi Le Chapelier), so that in fact only the individuals and the state remained without the traditional feudal corporations to mediate between them. The question then is how a society can be held together when it has been dismembered and robbed of the intermediary associations that had given it its concrete form and reality. Most revolutionaries followed republicans like Rousseau or Sieyes. The only way for them to bring about a post-feudal democratic order was by converting particular interests to the common good. Individuals were now called upon to set aside their particular preferences and to identify fully with the common will of the people in order to establish real popular sovereignty and equality. The Jacobin revolutionaries thus assumed that a true democracy could only be established if abstract democratic principles like formal equality, popular sovereignty or the unitary will of the people were indeed completely "turned into reality" (i.e. "actualized" or "materialized"), rather than merely respected (Weymans: 263-282). This is characteristic of totalitarian regimes. More so, to Claude Lefort totalitarianism represents a society's attempt to fully "materialize" or "actualize" democratic principles by making the people really one, equal, free or sovereign. That is also what distinguishes them from democratic regimes. While the totalitarian state tries to realize the principles (by embodying them), a democratic state prevents a society from realizing these (through representation), thus remaining distinct from and dependent on society. This distinction or alienation of the state from society is indeed necessary."

"Disease and Representation", 2006.
A discussion about the theory presented in the book "Disease and Representation" by Sander Gilman.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer explains that art and literature are two major avenues in which society projects its beliefs and views or ideologies. The writer shows how Sander Gilman uses this phenomenon to examine how disease and illness are seen through society. The paper explains how people externalize their fear of disease and that they find a false sense of security by projecting their fear of illness onto other people. The paper explains that knowledge is merely human perception and that our knowledge has increased over time because of machines that aid people in making more accurate perceptions. It explains that in the realm of disease, knowledge is also created through perception. The writer explains that perception is different for every person and is affected by that person's societal ideologies. In conclusion, the writer summarizes Gilman's argument that the representation of diseases are manifestations of society, and susceptible to changes as society changes, in the same way that knowledge is changeable.
From the Paper
"Humans interact with the world through their senses. We see with our eyes, smell with our noses, touch with our hands, hear with our ears, and taste with our tongues. Everything around us is gathered, and sometimes misinterpreted, by our senses. It is now known today how limited the five human senses are. While humans are by far the most intelligent creatures, we definitely do not have the most sensitive sensory organs. Dogs can hear higher pitches than humans can. Eagles can see farther than us. Bats have a natural sonar ability. Humans have only achieved this capacity through technology in the last one hundred years. So while we are the most intelligent creatures, we must rely on information gathered but much less advanced senses. It is through these senses that society, and more specifically science, has created knowledge."
