Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the term "sexual orientation" has become the phrase used to identify a class of protected rights in law and in business and presumably includes all forms of sexual orientation. In practice, though, the writer points out, the term is a way of assuring some protection for homosexuals without actually using the term. When speaking about majority sexual orientation, meaning heterosexuality as the norm, there is no need to speak about orientation. The writer maintains that it is the basic role of government to protect each citizen from other citizens, and so protections on the basis of sexual orientation are needed no matter what the source of a different orientation might be. The writer concludes that protecting the class is a legal question and does not depend on the other elements to be in force.
From the Paper
"Yet punishing people for a "crime" that is not a crime at all is un-American, and there is no reason for the government to be involved in an effort on the part of segments of society to force other segments to bend to their will. Some critics claim that there is a reason in that the government should be promoting so-called family values, while homosexuality is detrimental to those values. The recent battle in Congress was framed in part as a battle between the Employment Non-Discrimination Act on the one hand and the Defense of Marriage Act on the other, an act which defines marriage so as to eliminate homosexual partnerships. The title of the latter act shows the belief that marriage is under attack by homosexuals and so that heterosexuals can rally and defend themselves. Differential treatment of homosexuals thus becomes defense rather than discrimination."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that it has long been known that corporations with a positive learning orientation develop the knowledge contained within their organization better than others, and that their employees have generally more satisfaction in their jobs. The writer points out that many companies, such as HP and Dell, have leveraged organizational learning to create measurable profit. The writer maintains that what is not known, generally, is how well different learning orientations translate to the bottom line. The writer claims that it is important to discover this relationship, because organizations have choices to make concerning the learning orientation they will adopt, and should be given some guidance as to the estimated return on investment for each learning orientation. This research project is directed towards discovering this relationship between organizational learning orientation and corporate profit.
Outline:
Introduction
Organizational learning: Learning orientation
From the Paper
"In order to investigate the correlation between learning orientation and the bottom line, we must first define learning and then identify and define the various learning orientations of corporate organizations. By amalgamating the various theories of learning with a functionalist approach, we can simplify it and define it as acquired knowledge, both domain and procedural, which is applicable to solving current problems and transferable to future problems of the same or different types. In other words, we learn when we acquire information in human usable form (knowledge) which can be used to solve a current problem, or be applied to future problems, or when we become able to initiate a particular set of actions to resolve a current problem or future problems."

Effective Orientation Programs, 2002.
A discussion of the significance of orientation programs and how they can be made effective.
1,966 words (approx. 7.9 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the process of orientation actually entails designing a desired set of policies, principles or rules, drafted such that the entire program accommodates the individuals under consideration, grabs their attention, arouses their interests and compels them to perform the way they are required to, functioning to the best of their abilities under varied circumstances subject to constant change. It discusses how this applies to every walk of life be it manufacturing, selling, buying, pursuing a job or a career in an academic field and how it is not only schools, colleges and universities requiring effective orientation programs but also firms, organizations and various other workplaces where employee morale must remain high. It evaluates how to make students and employees orientation programs effective and in particular how to make orientation programs effective for deaf-blind children.
From the Paper
"With the growing need for and awareness regarding Orientation Programs that have proved fundamental to every facet of human life, educational institutions are making efforts to draft more effective orientation programs. Hence, the incorporation of such programs into the curriculum is increasing with every sketching moment, with number of academic institutions increasing in number and the universities and schools realizing their responsibility in regulating student behavior and in enhancing their sense of responsibility and discipline thereby making desperate attempts to reduce health related and other social problems that are alarmingly augmenting (Curtis, 1999)."

Time Orientation for Success, 2004.
Different time orientations people possess and how those who are future-oriented tend to be more successful.

»

Abstract
This paper makes the assertion that that future-oriented people are more successful at work as compared to present-oriented people. The paper contends that present-oriented people think of the present and, therefore, leave work for the last possible minute, while future-oriented people are more likely to get work done earlier due to being oriented to the future. The paper goes on to show how a person's orientation to time is fundamentally related to motivation and that those who are future-oriented have a stronger achievement motivation.
From the Paper
"Motivation is seen to be the degree to which an individual wants and chooses to behave in certain ways at a given time and place. The motivation for getting out of bed might be the need to make a living, or to provide food and shelter for oneself. Or it could be the individual receives a great deal of satisfaction from the social interaction of a work environment. Many people are gratified and motivated by the sense of accomplishment their work, school or family experiences provide."

Abstract
Current researchers have approached the question of sexual preference and its causes from a biological as well as a psychological and sociological point of study. Both types of researchers would agree that the various areas of influence are not necessarily exclusive of one another, and that no single area dominates the decision as to what determines sexual orientation. The paper shows that some researchers have demonstrated a biologic or genetic component of human sexual orientation. Others dispute this claim, stating that sexuality is largely an environmentally-influenced preference. In conclusion, this paper argues that it is clearly necessary to approach the causes of sexual orientation from a point of view that includes both biologic and environmental factors.
From the Paper
"Blanchard and Klassen have hypothesized that the Y-linked minor histocompatiblity antigens, or H-Y antigens, are involved in sexual development. Their study shows that some mothers experience a progressive immunization to the antigen, and that this change may increase the effects of H-Y antibodies on the sexual differentiation of the brain in male children that are born later in the birth order within a family. According to the authors, this information is consistent with the fact that there is a correlation between sexual orientation in men and the number of older brothers they have. Each older brother increases the odds of homosexual preference by nearly 33% in the younger siblings."

Abstract
This paper discusses the determinants of sexual orientation. The paper defines the sexual orientation categories of homosexual, bisexual, and heterosexual, and discusses some of the complex issues surrounding these labels.
From the Paper
"According to Emily Cameron in "New Moon", some girls like boys, some girls like girls, and some girls just like people without worrying whether they're girls or boys. Whom you like romantically is called sexual orientation. It's usually divided neatly into groups of homosexuals being attracted only to people of the same sex, bisexuals being attracted to both sexes and heterosexuals being attracted only to people of the opposite sex. In reality the issue is more complex than these labels..."

Sexual Orientation Discrimination.
This paper discusses sexual orientation discrimination in the workplace.

Abstract
This paper explains that sexual orientation discrimination in the workplace is demonstrated not only by poor treatment of these employees but also in financial ways: Although equally qualified, male homosexuals are earning about twenty-two percent less than heterosexual men. The author points out that the Congress is considering the "Employment Non-Discrimination Act". The paper concludes that sexual discrimination could be reduced, if not eliminated, if employers trained and educated employees on sexual orientation, provided benefits for gay partners and allowed employees to form unions to voice their opinion.
From the Paper
"Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees are discriminated against everyday in the working world. Although personal information, such as sexual orientation, should not be questioned in the workplace, employers are using this information to discriminate against certain people. Even employers that intend to help people have been known to discriminate. The Salvation Army is a perfect example of this. The Salvation Army in New York would pull its business out of the state rather than provide health insurance benefits to partners of gay employees. A law that will soon be enforced in New York states that all employers must provide health benefits to gay partners. Since the Salvation Army considers itself an "evangelical Christian church," it is against it's religion to promote homosexuality."

Abstract
The writer of this paper analyzes and summarizes the second, third and fourth parts of "Orientation to College: A Reader on Becoming and Educated Person" - a compilation of selected essays on the subject. The writer shows how the editors of these essays suggest through each part ("Developing as a Learner", "Becoming an Educated Person" and "Becoming Employable For the 21st Century") that the new American workplace is not so different from the new American university. It is multicultural, and dependent upon a worker developing a variety of diverse skills.
From the Paper
"Perhaps there is no standard other than, "An Educated and Culturally Literate Person Must Study America's Multicultural Reality," as Ronald Takaki suggests in his essay. Rather than narrowly inveighing against political correctness, perhaps it must be acknowledged that there is no singular definition of what constitutes the body of knowledge all educated individuals must know. There is only an attitude of tolerance and broadmindedness all individuals must adopt, whether they are pursuing a highly specific technical degree, or enjoying the 'useless' pursuits of the liberal arts that focus upon learning for the sake of learning but may prove applicable in many professional contexts."

Television and Sexual Orientation, 2008.
This paper discusses how race, sexual orientation, social class, gender and class are portrayed on television.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that television is arguably our most pervasive mass medium, and reaches millions of viewers, often for many hours per day. As such, it is reasonable to expect that it may play a substantial role in forming and moulding public opinion. This essay examines how race, sexual orientation, social class, gender and class are portrayed on television, with specific reference to four very popular television series: 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'; 'Ellen'; 'Frasier' and 'Friends'. It is argued that the relationship between television and the masses is becoming increasingly interactive, with the latter increasingly impacting the former, and both exerting a moulding action upon one another.
From the Paper
"First, it must be conceded that there is abundant evidence of television moulding our current society, conveying a view of the world that reinforces the current status quo. Take for example the enormously popular television series Friends. This series features four fabulously shallow, attractive, white, heterosexual, gender-role-conforming, slim, reasonably affluent, utterly self-centred thirty-somethings living in a US city. These characters surely represent the current patriarchal North American status quo. None of them transgresses any societal norms, and all devote themselves with indefatigable vigour to the most important social virtue of our time - consumption. Indeed, much of the action takes place in a coffee shop, where the characters simply spend their time spending money and being amusing. This is reminiscent of the television series Frasier, where the characters also appear to have a bottomless capacity for expensive coffee (as well as fine wine and good food)."

Abstract
It discusses biological, psychological, and sociological opinions of this theory, and concludes that all elements of sexual orientation: biological/genetic, psychological, and socially constructed, are essential to the way in which it operates in Western society, and that growing tolerance for minority groups and opinions will increase the acceptance of "sexual deviants."

Sexual Orientation, 2004.
This paper is a literature review and a research proposal to study the biological determinants of sexual orientation.
2,740 words (approx. 11.0 pages), 14 sources, APA, $ 81.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reveals that, while many studies suggest a strong genetic and biological basis to sexual orientation, there is little causal evidence to support this claim; therefore, this research proposal attempts to resolve conflicting evidence that male homosexuality is correlated with similarities in the genetic markers from region Xq28 of the X chromosome. The author points out that, interestingly, female homosexuals have not been shown to exhibit a similarity in a specific genetic locus. Studies on the Xq28 region showed that the Xq28 region of the X chromosome was similar in only male homosexuals and not female homosexuals. The paper stresses that this proposed study attempts to address many of the common methodological problems that have been associated with research into the genetic basis of homosexuality in the past, including common use of self-selecting samples, small sample sizes, and problems with the definition of homosexuality.

From the Paper
"Sexual orientation has also been linked to hormonal changes during pregnancy. The probability that a male child will have a homosexual sexual orientation as an adult increases nearly 33% for each older brother that the child has, while older sisters have no effect on the sexual orientation of a younger, male sibling. An immune response within the mother during pregnancy may account for this effect. Specifically, the mother may produce anti-H-Y antigens during pregnancy that affect aspects of sexual differentiation that occur during development. In addition, homosexual males who have older brothers weigh less at birth than heterosexual males with older brothers who in turn weigh less than heterosexual males with older sisters."

Abstract
The following paper assesses five topics in psychology, meta-psychology, model of personality, model of health, model of pathology and model of change. In examining those broader topics the writer considers also other pressing questions such as human nature, the human condition, whether or not human beings can properly be considered sociable, and whether human beings are controlled by biological determinism or possess free will.
From the Paper
"The writer is writing this paper in the hopes of arriving at a theoretical orientation that will touch upon the five topics of meta-psychology, model of personality, model of health, model of pathology, and model of change. This process is not easy, but this paper will endeavor to do precisely that due to the belief that having a personal philosophy about the practice of psychology provides the intellectual underpinning needed to navigate successfully through a difficult and complex field of study. With that in mind, this paper looks at broader questions, such as the human condition, human nature, whether or not human beings are evil, whether or not they are social beings, and whether or not the fate of human beings is determined by biological factors or something else.
