The detractors of this Catholic doctrine assert that it is unnecessary to believe in her Immaculate Conception in the whole scheme of things but if that were to be true they would denying their congregation proof positive in God?s magnificence as well as the powerlessness of the devil.
From the Paper
?Between the 11th February, 1858 and 16th July, 1858, a teenaged girl, Bernadette, was visited 18 times by ?a lady wearing a lovely white dress with a bright belt? and who bore on each foot ?a pale yellow rose, the same color as her rosary beads.? (Menezes, 2000, 1) Upon examination, the Catholic Church agreed that the apparitions were indeed those of the Blessed Virgin Mary. What was intriguing was the Virgin Mary?s reference to herself:
? . . . At my third request her face took on a very serious expression, and at the same time an expression of deep humility . . . Joining her palms as if for prayer, she raised them to the height of her breast . . . She looked up to heaven . . . then slowly opening her hands and bending down towards me, she said to me in a voice in which one could sense a slight trembling, ?I am the Immaculate Conception.? (Menezes, 2000, 1)

Abstract
This paper compares Confucian concept with Buddhist concept of "human nature". Buddhism emphasizes the spirituality of the individual, and is a more "inward-oriented" philosophy. Therefore, as will be argued, while Confucianism represents "human nature" as external actions and rituals shaping the inner man, Buddhism represents the "Buddha nature" as the inner man achieving ultimate selflessness through meditation and reflection.

Abstract
This paper explains that the concept of addiction is most often used in the structural context of mental health because the mental health profession is concerned with how to care for the individual who is substance dependent. The author relates that addiction is the sum of the characteristics of unpredictable behavior changes, the inability to maintain impulses and self-control, and the compulsiveness to be gratified through an increase in dependency on the substances abused for pleasure. The paper concludes that the practical results of this conceptual analysis reveal that nurses can better understand and assess the need to care for the addicted client, worker, or family member when they have an increased consciousness about the structural forms that contribute to the solidification of addiction.

From the Paper
"The fundamental precepts of the marketing concept is that the customer comes first, and drives the development of systems, processes, and resources all pointing back the customer. It is a management philosophy asserting the existence and legitimacy of the firm ultimately depends on satisfying customer needs (Marketing Renaissance 2005). Putting the customer at the very center of all strategies is a noble goal, yet in reality thousands of companies never attain this change in philosophy because the marketing concept itself is tactical."

Abstract
This paper examines the classic Greeks and Athenian view on the world around them. It describes the concept of the body, mind and inner self that lead to philosophical inquiry and questioning of the human mind and the resulting societies it created.
From the Paper
"Athens during the fifth century B.C. is often identified as one of the main sources of Western values and standards. Later Europeans and Americans regarded the Athenians as the originators of democracy, drama, representational or realistic art, history, philosophy, and science. At different times over the last 2,500 years they also attempted to imitate the ?Golden Age? of classical Athens in everything from buildings to literature. Many U.S. state capitols and government buildings are modeled on the Parthenon or other temples. We still divide drama into tragedy and comedy in the same way the Athenians did. During some historical periods, such as the Renaissance, thinkers and writers made conscious attempts to return to the classical ideals in all areas of life, combing the works of Athenians authors for previously overlooked material in the quest to draw guidance and learn everything possible from this unique flowering of culture."

Abstract
This paper represents a concept analysis on disclosure. The paper offers an in-depth understanding of the concept of disclosure and defines what it represents, as well as what it does not represent. The paper's focus and motivation is to identify a foundation for future exploring, measuring, and testing the idea in regard to a full dissertation on abused pregnant women. The paper is based on Avant and Walker's "Strategies for Theory Construction in Nursing" and, therefore, provides a brief discussion of the overall concept and insights into why this topic was selected. The paper discusses how it relates to nursing, as well as to abused pregnant women. The paper describes the inherent literature search process and identifies possible uses of the concept, including non-nursing literature. The paper explores how the theoretical framework used relates to the original concept.
From the Paper
"It is critical to clearly define the attributes associated with the aspects of this idea. The first is the concept of disclosure itself which will be driven by the legal community. The second attribute structure would revolve around the pregnant women abused in a scientifically significant way. "Walker and Avant maintained that mid-range theories balance this specificity with the conceptual economy normally seen in grand theories. As a result mid-range theories provide nurses with the 'best of both worlds ' - easy applicability in practice and abstract enough to be scientifically interesting. Thus, the attributes associated with pregnant women's abuses would be of a relatively broad scope of phenomena and would not cover the full range of phenomena that could be of concern in this discipline."

From the Paper
"The concept of utility, as developed by David Hume in An Enquiry Concerning the Principals of Morals, is about the evolution of a general concept of justice, based on the relative equity that does (or should) exist between members of society. The concept of justice is only one facet that arises out of Hume's idea of utility. In short, what Hume is alluding to, is a kind of societal muscle that comes into use out of need, and becomes strong through use.
Hume starts with a very simple concept, the idea that justice as we have come to recognize it, is not a function of one person ... "

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to gain new insights into the concept of disclosure and how it pertains to the nursing profession. The objective is to establish the groundwork for future research in the disclosure legislation, as well as the day-to-day aspects of disclosure rules. The report was outlined according to Avant and Walker's "Strategies for Theory Construction in Nursing". The report layout aims to give a brief description of disclosure and how it will be affected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and offers reasoning for why this topic was selected. The report talks about the detailed literature search that would be necessary for full topic coverage and identifies some uses of the concept, with non-nursing literature also included. The report then determines defining attributes by utilizing the concept of 'Model, Borderline, Related, Contrary, Invented and Illegitimate' detailing. From there, an identification of antecedents and/or consequences is done, with empirical referents related to the concept also being discussed. The conclusion entails a discussion pertaining to the theoretical framework as it relates to the disclosure.
From the Paper
"By definition, disclosure is simply the act or process of revealing or uncovering something. However, in the medical community, privacy advocates and the technology based information age have redefined what disclosure is and what it is not. The United States healthcare system encompasses many different layers including health plans, physicians, hospitals, clinics, consumers, and public health programs. Today, as consumers go through the process of selecting either a health plan, doctor of other health professional, there are many opportunities for that individual's personal information such as a social security number, medical condition or diagnosis to make its way through the hands of many medical professionals in various capacities. "Almost all of us are aware that our personal information is being collected and stored by many different entities." (Soloye)"

"What is organizational culture? First, organizational should be defined. Organizational can be defined as anything that pertains to an organization. Second, culture should be defined. There are many definitions for the word culture. In order to fully understand the meaning of organizational culture, the correct definition should be used. One definition for culture is a high level of development. Another definition is the process of growing bacteria. A third defines culture as improvement or refinement. (Morehead, A. & Morehead, L. (Ed.). 1995). In this case, the proper definitions would be the first and third. So, organizational culture can be defined as, actions that promote a high level of development, improvement, and refinement within an organization. "

The Concept of Species, 2006.
An examination of ways to define the concept of species.
804 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 28.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this report the author looks at ways to define the concept of species. He considers that in a biological sense, it is a difficult task, considering that so many different organisms and variations of organisms exist. This author looks at the concept of species as having been pursued since the time of Aristotle and how it has consistently been revised, scrutinized, rejected and accepted by different disciplines and schools since the birth of western science. He then proceeds to suggest ways of defining species whether it be as an organism that can reproduce or the essential concept. The paper concludes with the summation that whether or not species is a convention created by humans, it has become an integral and fundamental unit of science.
From the Paper
"If two individuals in nature can produce fertile offspring, they are of the same species, and the opposite is true if offspring are produced but are infertile. The interbreeding of a horse and donkey is an excellent example of reproductive isolation. The individuals can successfully reproduce, but the offspring that is produced is not fertile. Therefore, the horse and donkey are not of the same species. With this, and the concept of reproductive isolation in mind, a species can then be defined as a group of reproductively isolated individuals. However there is a group of organisms to which this does not properly apply; those that reproduce asexually."

From the Paper
"Teacher's Applications University of Ontario - Institute of Tech Section C 1) Professor Kristen Mueller, currently at the University of Waterloo, is undeniably the finest teaching professional in my experience. The qualities that make her an exceptional teacher may be encapsulated in a few specific areas: her close attention to students' needs and their work; her capacity to listen and her time management skills despite the pressures of a full teaching and research load. While Professor Mueller teaches at the post-secondary level, I believe these qualities are directly relevant to teaching at any level and to any age group."
