From the Paper
"Schuler reports that the statistics addressing the levels at which women and minorities are paid clearly demonstrate inequity. That is, female- and minority worker-occupations tend to garner wages and salaries that are consistently lower than in those occupations that are dominated by "White" male workers. Moreover, for those women and minorities that do somehow gain entrance to those occupations dominated by "White" males, there is the tendency to earn less on the average than their "White" male counterparts At issue here, as the topic of this research effort, is whether true worth can be established for jobs by workers who perform comparable duties; that is, can comparable worth become ingrained in public sector personnel ...

Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of comparative worth between males and females in the workplace. It suggests that comparative worth is a good starting point for understanding how to create gender equality in the work place. The writer of the paper presents his opinion that there are many different factors that go into the wage decision calculus and that relying upon comparative worth alone is flawed. The paper discusses these assertions.
From the Paper
"In the final analysis, comparative worth is an idealistic strategy to gender equality in application to wages within the workplace. However, the actual implementation of such a system requires not only a strong criteria for judging comparative worth, but also a complete shift within the organizational and financial planning of a company. As a result, it is extremely difficult to implement on a widespread basis. Creating a clear standard by which to understand and frame comparative worth is the first essential step for HR managers to attempt to implement such a policy on a large organization wide level."

From the Paper
"Comparable worth has emerged as a significant labor issue during the 1980s. The concept is simple: jobs requiring similar education, skill and mental efforts should enjoy similar compensation rates within an organization. The issue is hotly debated however, as proponents and critics alike seek to understand the ramifications. This paper examines the history of the comparable worth controversy and anticipates the direction of the issue in the 1990s.
The comparable worth issue grew from observations that women traditionally make less money than men. In 1960, the average woman worker earned 60 cents for every dollar earned by the average male worker. By 1985, that figure had increased only to 66 cents for women, despite the fact that many more women had entered the workplace in the intervening years, and could be (...)"

From the Paper
"Summary of Issue
The literature reveals that the workforce of America is increasingly becoming culturally diverse. In support of this, Flanigan (1990, p. D6) reports that, for the 1990s, female workers will comprise 12 million of the 19 million new entrants to the American labor force. This represents a growth for female workers from 46 percent to an increase of 47 percent. Further, during this same time-frame, the number of African-American, Hispanic-American and Asian-American workers will increase, going from 21 percent to 26 percent of the total workforce. Beyond the sheer increase of female and nonEuropean-American workers, there will as well be increases in the number of female managers. Heidrick and Struggles (Baskerville, 1991, p. 37) report that 96.7 percent of all female managers are European-American, while..."

Women & Management, 1988.

From the Paper
" The researcher's proposed topic is the mobility of women into middle management. With the advent of women into management posi-tions in the early 1970s, it is important to study the progress that women have made in the corporate structure. While many com-panies give lip service to the notion that women have an equal chance to succeed in middle management, the success or failure of equal opportunity in the corporation can be measured statistically with respect to geographical regions, minority advancement, and management categories. This research will attempt to give an over-all viewpoint of the status of women, including minority women in management, taking into consideration the studies that have been made and the problems women in business need to resolve."

Abstract
The paper reviews and analyzes "What's Worth Knowing" by Wendy Lustbader, a geriatric social worker who met many people of the older generation and wrote a book based on the experience they gleaned in their eighty or so years of living. The paper shows how the book uses ordinary individuals to make up stirring recollections.
From the Paper
"The book captures the pulse and flavor of the individual contributors; every one of the single-paged accounts reverberates with a spirit of great generosity and sincerity. A short, stirring biographical note and sometimes a photo accompanies each story. In her book Lustbader asks, what factors make life superior? Moreover, how do we live it? What do we know now that we wish we had known when we were young(er)? What advice would we give a young(er) person just starting out in life? Has anyone in our life taught us a valuable lesson? What was that lesson? If we could live our life over again, what would we do differently? What would we keep the same?"

Abstract
This paper performs a SWOT analysis on Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and evaluates the results. The author finds that since the September 11 2001 attacks, airport security now costs four times what it did previously. With these rising costs, he finds that it is more important than ever for operations managers to stay abreast of their market positioning. They must constantly try to increase their revenues by attracting more passengers and increasing the number of flights. In order to do this, they must perform these SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats ) analyses to make better decisions based on solid facts.
From the Paper
"Successful airport management depends on several factors to remain competitive. First, the cost of supplies is on a continuous rise, as well as items such as fuel, utilities, and the cost of maintaining the planes. Airports are subject to several market risks as well, such as general economic conditions, events, which drop the number of passengers, and environmental factors that may cancel or delay flights. Airports are subject to increasing risk from ever-tightening EPA regulations and stiffer FAA regulations. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, airports were under incredible strain due to shaken consumer confidence in flying."

Article: Karen Gugliemo's 'Is Offshore Outsourcing Worth the Loss of Jobs?', 2008.
An analysis of the failing economics of international technology job markets in "Is Offshore Outsourcing Worth the Loss of Its Jobs?" by Karen Gugliemo in 2007"Tech Target--CIO".

Abstract
This paper explains that the basis of Gugliemo's article 'Is Offshore Outsourcing Worth the Loss of Its Jobs?' reflects the growing economic disparity that is occurring at the domestic level in the United States and in Canada. The author points out that her research indicates the growing exponential rate of American and Canadian jobs that are being exported over to third world countries have greatly lowered wage rates, threatening the middle class in North America. The paper relates that another factor is the policy making-leverage that America wields over most third world countries supplying technology job markets in the global market. The author underscores that, since many of these jobs are being provided to economically impoverished countries, there is a marked disadvantage not only to the workers being exploited in these countries but also to the workers on the North American continent. This paper includes long quotations.

Summary
Discussion
Analysis and Critique
From the Paper
"In Gugliemo's article, the issue of a vanishing middle class is a dangerous idea for native North American technology workers. When companies continually find that they can outsource jobs without government regulation, the country will find itself in a crisis. While the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, where does the middle class go? Certainly, they would find themselves in the majority of the poor, which can constitute a real danger of stability in the country. Throughout history when the middle class is a missing link between the rich and the poor, civil strife will most likely ensue."

Abstract
This paper reviews "How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth" which gives the layman an introduction to evangelical Christian Biblical hermeneutics. In their discussion of the Bible, authors Gordon D. Fee and Douglas Stuart give special stress to the literary qualities of different sections of the Bible and the uniqueness of different Biblical genres. The authors attempt to provide clarity to debates whether the Bible should be taken literally within the evangelical community, stressing that genre is key to understanding how literally certain passages should be understood. The paper concludes by stating that this book is a good introduction for ordinary believers who wish to learn more about the original context of the Bible.
Outline:
Introduction: Summary
Summary: Issues Addressed
Summary: Major Themes
Analysis: Point of View, Ideological and Implicit and Explicit Perspective
What Kind of Evidence do they bring to Support their Viewpoint? Is it Adequate?
Analysis How Clear is the Argument? Does it Flow Logically? Are there Gaps, Inconsistencies, or Contradictions in the Discussion or Argument?
Conclusion: Of what Value is Book? What Does it Add to the Discourse?
From the Paper
"The book combines Biblical criticism with modern theology, but with a stress upon using the background of the Bible for today's spiritual community with an understanding of how the Bible applied to its original context. The book also includes advice on choosing a translation, acknowledging that most persons are not fluent in the original, now dead languages, of the original texts. When offering suggestions about selecting a translation, the authors prefer such works as Today's New International Version of the Bible, which includes gender-neutral language when referring to human beings. They believe this most appropriate for Christian communities today, given the social changes that have occurred in the world since the document's original authorship to an ancient audience. "

Comparative Concert Review, 2007.
A comparison of two performances, "Stomp" and "Live Earth Concert".

Abstract
This paper examines the functional, operative and practical aspects of "Stomp" (a physical theatre and musical performance) and "Live Earth Concert" (a series of worldwide concerts held on the same day). It explains and compares different facets of these two performances, including the venue; atmosphere; musical aspects; lighting and sound enforcement. The writer reflects on the overall performances and notes that most people who attended both performances enjoyed "Stomp" (the relatively low budget unique creation) more. The writer concludes that both events were worth the price of the tickets, as "Live Earth Concert" was a great opportunity to see several artists performing on one stage and "Stomp" was a purely entertaining and exclusive show.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"A concert or as some colloquially call it a 'gig' or 'show' is a performance, that has music as the central entertaining premise. The performers and entertainers such as solo artists or bands, aim to generate a vigour, power and energy that in a sentence leave their audiences in rapturous admiration and awe at the vertical depth and wide coverage that they are able to generate in just a short space of time. The musical masterpiece 'Stomp' which is currently being staged at Vaudeville Theatre in London; and the benevolent global 'Live Earth Concert', which was held on the 7th of July 2007 and had Wembley Stadium London as one of its many venues; model two such concert performances."

This paper is an examination of the current trends in education that are presenting barriers, opportunities, benefits and overall changes in the worth of education.

School Uniforms: Are they Worth the Fight?, 2006.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the issue of school uniforms. The paper reviews the pros and cons of wearing uniforms and discusses various opinions. The paper concludes that school uniforms are not the answers to the problems with public school systems.
From the Paper
"Some people feel that school uniforms give a sense of equality. This may partially be true, but it is also giving students the idea that "since we can not get along when we are different, we are going to make you all the same". Life is not uniformed. This may make children not be as ridiculed in school, it may blur the lines between economic and social class, but it will only be temporary. Students need to realize that they are expected to get along with everyone regardless of whom they are or where they came from. When a student who has had uniforms all through elementary and middle school get to high school or college and then out in the real world, they are going to be in for a rude awakening. Not everyone is the same. We are all equal under the law, but we are not all equal in economic class, social class, and history. We do not need to pretend that life is fair and everyone gets the same things and the same treatment. Sadly enough life is not like that. "

The Shield Is Worth a Thousand Words, 2004.

Abstract
Focusing on the images presented in Book 18 of "The Iliad", this paper analyzes the various possible interpretations behind the symbolism on Achilleus's shield.
From the Paper
"When Hephaistos creates the shield for Achilleus, he is actually creating the history and potential future of Achilleus?s fate. Hephaistos shows on the shield how Achilleus was separated from Agamemnon and the rest of the Achaians after a quarrel over booty. He also depicts how, after extricating himself from that group, Achilleus has to choose between a fate of honorable death in battle or a mediocre, yet happy, existence as an old man. Furthermore, he subtly implies through images how Achilleus?s fate is not really in his own hands, but has already been predetermined, regardless of what his mother, Thetis, tells him."

Abstract
The paper discusses how, although some may choose to disbelieve it, the grim reality is that anyone can become a casualty of a car accident precipitated by the careless use of cell phones by unthinking motorists. For instance, the New England Journal of Medicine revealed in a 1997 study that using a cell phone while driving increases the risk of a motor vehicle accident by four times compared to those periods when a driver is not using a cell phone.

The War on Drugs: Is It Worth the Price?, 2003.

Abstract
This essay discusses the pros and cons of the ?War on Drugs? in America, paying specific attention to the sales of drugs, legislation issues, the strain on the judicial system, poor communities, increased costs of the campaign and the infringement of individual rights.
From the paper:
?Some critics have pointed to the amount of money the War on Drugs has cost. They claim that the increased costs of the campaign to stop drug flow into the United States have coincided with a decrease of the amount of money spent on education. However, correlation is not the same as cause. The funding of education is an important role for federal, state and local governments. This is why we have federal funding for some educational programs as well as state and local taxes to help pay for public schools.?
