Abstract
This paper explains that, when feminist legal theorists and advocates expose the assumptions underlying dilemmas, which are inherent in the concepts of equality and discrimination, it is possible to reconsider and reinterpret relationships and patterns of power that impact on the consequences of difference. The paper then outlines these assumptions along with the counter-assumptions that have been formulated by feminist legal theorists. The paper stresses that all of the assumptions are present in the "Little Sisters" case in which it was decided that gay and lesbian pornography poses a threat to sex equality.
From the Paper
"Equality rights under the Charter have caused dilemmas additional problems beyond the issues that were to be resolved. While the Charter in combination with legislation is designed to protect women and children from sexual violence and victimization, the defendant is actually the individual who receives protection. Once again, the male norm becomes predominant so that, as feminists point out, the state participates in the male control of female sexuality. To overcome the equality problem and the issue of intrinsic differences, feminists fought for legislation using new terms such as 'gender neutral assault'."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that inclusion presents dilemmas in principle because the real human right, that all pupils receive a good education, is easily confused with something else, that all pupils receive the same education. The writer maintains that inclusion also creates dilemmas in principle because it represents an intensification, and not a resolution, of a dilemma that has always been inherent within mainstream education - how to impart a single education to children who are different from one another. Finally, the writer notes that inclusion also presents dilemmas in practice for a host of reasons to do with implementation at school governance and individual classroom level for which high-sounding statements about 'community', 'infinite potential', 'inclusion' etc. offer no guidance. The writer concludes that in this context, the religious education (RE) teacher has a duty to use the unique capacity of RE to capture the unique potentials of pupils whose particular challenges can only be appreciated over the long-term by a vigilant and caring class teacher.
From the Paper
"As well as presenting dilemmas - and conflicts of interest - in principle, there is a vast range of practical dilemmas arising from inclusion of which the following represents the tip of the iceberg. Where pupils present severe behavioural problems, for example, schools are faced with the dilemma of using resources for in-class support or using them to support intensive withdrawal work. Eventually, some schools face the dilemma of struggling to control pupils with extreme behavioural difficulties or excluding them altogether. Schools face a dilemma of diverting resources from mainstream education only to plough them into projects designed to cope with behavioural difficulties that could perhaps be treated more cost-effectively - without the diseconomy of small scale - beyond the individual school.
"A further dilemma that arises from the attempts to implement inclusion within school is that of developing systems, structures and procedures of enabling inclusion to occur. In the schools studied by Clarke and colleagues, the most common form of technology was in-class support."

Sarah Lucas and Conceptual Art, 2004.
This paper explores the work of Sarah Lucas in relation to conceptual art.

Abstract
This paper explores the work of conceptual artist Sarah Lucas. It argues that Lucas challenges gender stereotypes and the image of the "anguished male artist." The paper looks at conceptual art as an oppositional process.
From the Paper
"Sarah Lucas is known for her provocative work. Using mundane objects such as food and furniture, she takes words and images and transforms them into metaphors for sexual objects. Ready-made food and furniture are imbued with new meaning. The innocence of the original object becomes something else entirely. The objects imbued with new meaning carry with them crude and sexual connotations. Sarah Lucas goes against the grain. In addition, through her work that emphasizes the ordinary person in ordinary surroundings she challenges the..."

Pain and Three Nursing Conceptual Models, 2004.
An examination of the concept of pain in the clinical area and how to adhere to JCAHO's standards using conceptual models from Orem, Neuman, and Roy.

Abstract
This paper discusses how pain is a global problem that affects all people during their life and how poorly treated pain is a major concern for the millions of Americans currently suffering with pain. It looks at how heath care strives to deliver optimal care and treat patients effectively and how the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) has developed pain management quality standards that must be implemented by all health care organizations to be accredited. It shows how providers need help to integrate these standards for optimal pain management and how conceptual models developed by nursing theorists can be useful tools to guide clinical practice. In particular, it explores Orem's Self-Care Framework, Neuman's System Model, and Roy's Adaptation Model as examples of conceptual models that can be used to analyze possible approaches to solving health care problems and clinical concerns.
From the Paper
"Roy's Model guides pain management with a nursing process, which includes a behavioral assessment, a stimuli assessment, nursing diagnosis, goal setting, plans for implementation, and evaluation. Each step takes into consideration the patient's perceptions and desires into account. Behavioral assessment is completed keeping in mind the four modes of adaptation. The four modes of adaptation are physiological, self-concept, role function, and interdependence. This allows for a systematic and holistic approach in recognizing the patients' right to proper pain assessment. In the physiological mode, a thorough assessment investigates the underlying disease process of the pain. Once treatment is implemented for the illness or injury causing pain, the focus moves into the actual elimination of pain."

Is Cooperation Achievable In Social Dilemmas, 2005.
An overview of social and philosophical aspects of social dilemmas.
2,025 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 6 sources, $ 80.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
A paper on the subject of social dilemmas. The paper looks at how the individual is influenced to act differently depending on different social dilemmas, and discusses the important role that cooperation plays by bringing about decisions and solutions. The paper further notes that cooperation is only achievable if the person is willing to cooperate with others.
From the Paper
"When it comes to social dilemmas, why do people make the decisions they do? What part does accountability play in social dilemmas? These are important questions when looking at the social and philosophical aspects of social dilemmas. Individuals are influenced to act differently depending on what the issues in the social dilemmas are. Cooperation is achievable if the person is willing to cooperate with others and to listen openly what solutions are available. Cooperation plays an important role in social dilemmas bringing about decisions and solutions that can only happen when individuals are willing to cooperate."

Abstract
This paper discusses nursing theorists, Walker and Avant's conceptual theory in nursing. Specifically, the paper details eight steps to a more effective concept analysis of "screening" for nurses in theory and practice. It describes the relevance of each step and the ways that they should be implemented for the most successful screening and treatment.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Step 1
Selecting a concept
"Screening"
Step 2
Purpose Or Aims Of The Concept
Step 3
Identify Uses Of The Concept
Step 4
Determine the Defining Attributes
Step 5
Identify A Model Case
Step 6
Examine Other Cases
Step 7
Identify Antecedents and Consequences
Step 8
Define Empirical Referents
From the Paper
"An "invented" case of such a problematic screening, however, one that may or may not contain ideas outside of the experience of many nurses, however, might be that of a mother who brought her infant in for a routine screening by a pediatrician, and who volunteered to the nurse, without the prompting of a screening, the fact that she was depressed or had trouble coping. Then, if the nurse broached the subject in a more formal fashion, according to some of the language that is used to characterize the physical and emotional problems of screening for postpartum depression, the mother might reject such a diagnostic inquiry. This is problematic, because the nurse may or may not be qualified to make such a psychological assessment, even though she, by virtue of her position, might be led to believe that the woman is suffering from postpartum depression."

Ethical Dilemmas in Business, 2005.
A discussion on the ethical dilemmas facing FET due to distribution of a faulty product.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the potential ethical dilemma of a company that is distributing a product that it has subsequently discovered to be flawed. The paper specifically discusses FET, which has been distributing its micro system product. The paper concludes that to continue distribution would be detrimental to the company, its shareholders, and the customer upon whom the company relies.
From the Paper
"Ethical Dilemma 1. Is there an ethical problem? If so, what is it? On the surface there is not yet an ethical dilemma. While the executive compensation is tied to the success of FET's micro system in the open marketplace, the simple fact of the matter is that the system is flawed. If an organization is ethically sound as well as operationally sound it would never consider distributing a product with known and pre-existing flaws. Such an act, while perhaps bolstering its short-term finances and padding the salary of the executives whose salaries are dependent upon the product's success, would have a long-term devastating effect on the reputation and brand of the company. Additionally, once the flaw became widely recognized the company would be faced with warranty obligations which would quickly mitigate any financial gains to the company."

Conceptual Possibility according to Descartes, 2001.
An analysis of the implications of conceptual possibility to Descartes' conceivability argument and to Identity Theory.

Abstract
This paper examines Descartes dualist thesis that mind and body are different things and his "Conceivability Argument" in his Meditations on First Philosophy. The conceivability argument uses one's ability to conceive of a mind without a body as a proof that mind and body are necessarily different things. The writer provides an objection to this argument from the point of view of an Identity Theorist, who believes that mind and body are in fact the exact same thing. The objection takes the meaning-reference distinction approach that states that mind and body essentially refer to the same thing but mean different things.
From the Paper
"One of the central pieces of Descartes' dualist thesis is his conceivability argument, which attempts to establish that mind and body are necessarily different types of things. As it provides grounds for substantiating that mind and body are distinct, this argument also serves as the backbone of a prominent objection to the claims proposed by the simple identity theory. The identity theory makes the claim that all types of mental states and experiences are equivalent to types of brain states or other physical states. This clearly conflicts directly with the dualist's view of an independently existing mind that is responsible for the realization of mental states and experiences regardless of the existence of any corresponding physical entity to go with them. As such, the dualist must have significant objections to the identity theory. One such challenge to the identity theory is well summed by a single claim: "I can imagine myself turned to stone, and yet having images, aches, pains and so on." In this paper I will first demonstrate how an objection to the identity theory centered on this claim can be constructed. I will demonstrate how this objection is quite similar in nature to Descartes' conceivability argument, which will necessitate a brief explanation of Descartes' argument. I will then offer a response from the identity theorist to this objection, which will rely on the relationship between "concept" and "meaning" and the distinction between meaning and reference. In presenting this reply, I will show that this response to the dualist's objection also works against Descartes' conceivability argument."

Social Dilemmas, 2005.
This paper discusses social dilemmas and describes studies performed to determine people's selfishness.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 2 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper reviews a game which was performed to determine what affects on selfishness were seen if some given probabilities were known. The paper explains that all the outcomes deal with a dollar amount which can be paid out and will be significantly changed if certain unknowns become known in the beginning of each section, which is determined by three separate theories.
From the Paper
"The issues of social dilemmas can often be so complex that many of us fail to realize that we are even in a dilemma at all until we are a victim or a participant in such a dilemma. However, the other side of the spectrum is that we participate in social dilemmas due to a very basic instinct and that is survival (Kangas 476). Of course we always have the need and desire to do the right thing but do we weight the costs appropriately. For example, can we risk picking up a hitchhiker today as compared to years ago."

"Ethical Dilemmas in Church Leadership", 2002.
A review of the book "Ethical Dilemmas in Church Leadership" by Michael R. Milco.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This book discusses the challenges that await pastors and church leaders in the 21st century and looks at Milco's call to arms for all church leadership in the new millennium. It examines how he feels that it is necessary for church leaders to understand all of the factors that are involved in making ethical decisions and that in order to do this one must understand the new times that we are now living in.
From the Paper
"Although the book is less than two hundred pages in length, Milco does a good job in illustrating the difficulties of life in modern society. There are eleven chapters in all, all of them with a specific focus that builds a strong message that should be listened to by today's church leaders. People today are losing faith in the church and in church leadership, this is a problem that does not impact one religion over another, but seems to be a problem that is non-denominational in nature. It is the job of leadership to reconnect with the parishioners and to make them feel that the church is a place where they can go for guidance and counsel without fear of reprisal. According to Milco, only three out of ten adults admit that they would seek help from a minister during times of difficulty in their lives. He attributes this to a "growing awareness of pastoral indiscretion, possible abuse cases (within the church) and many other situation that are causing parishioners to doubt the wisdom of ministers."

Conceptual Framework, 2007.
This paper provides a conceptual framework for the field of nursing.
4,700 words (approx. 18.8 pages), 16 sources, MLA, $ 121.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the field of nursing means different things to different people. The writer notes that some do not see how important nurses are in the daily running of a hospital or doctor's office, while others feel that nurses are so valuable that medicine could hardly continue without them. The writer believes that nursing is a noble and interesting occupation and that it is also one of the more rewarding and worthwhile pursuits that anyone could have. The beliefs of B. Neuman regarding nursing are discussed in comparison to the writer's own ideas. The writer concludes that nursing is both an art and a science based on caring; it is the training of a human to care for another human through knowledge and skills that meet the holistic needs of that human.
Outline:
Introduction
Personality and Career Paths
Nursing Shortages
Callista Roy
Betty Neuman
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Another thing that these individuals must be able to show is a certain amount of professional detachment. While it is very important to be empathetic to the patients and their families, too much of this and too much emotional involvement is also a problem. This can be just as troubling as not having enough emotional involvement or caring, as both can cause the nurse's career to suffer. For those that are too caring and emotionally attached, they may feel as though they have lost a loved one or a very close friend when a patient in their care passes away and they may have trouble focusing on their job and delivering the proper care to other patients because of this. There must be a balance between a genuine caring about the lives of others and the understanding that there is also a job to do, which will not stop when one life is ended. Being able to balance these things and being able to multi-task and stay organized are the most important personality traits that someone that works as a critical care nurse needs to succeed."

The Conceptual Model of Nursing, 2002.
Presents an analysis of Sister Calista Roy's conceptual model for nursing, usually referred to as the adaptation model.
2,305 words (approx. 9.2 pages), 15 sources, APA, $ 71.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The nursing philosophy or model of Sister Calista Roy focuses on the individual (person) as a biopsychosocial adaptive system. According to Roy, nursing is a discipline that emphasizes strengthening, expanding and improving upon the person's coping abilities for the purpose of enhancing the patient's wellness or health. This paper describes the theory and provides reasons for why it was chosen for review and analysis. The paper then goes on to discuss the development, meaning, logical adequacy, usefulness, completeness and testability of the adaptation model.
From the Paper
"It should be understood that the Roy Adaptation Model attempts nothing less than that of providing a theoretical framework for use by educators, researchers, and practitioners, for the purpose of validating a scientific foundation for nursing as a profession. This is, at best, an extremely challenging task and, as might be expected, the model has not only been refined and expanded upon many times, further expansion and refinement is expected in the future (Roy, 1997). In general, it must be noted that there is a need for intense study of the language and ideas behind Roy's Adaptation Model to fully understand it."

Abstract
This paper is written on conceptual and procedural knowledge in mathematics. Procedural knowledge-or more appropriately skills-refers to the ability to physically solve a problem through the manipulation of mathematical skills: with pencil and paper, calculator, computer, etc. There is thus, in a theoretical sense, a difference between conceptual and procedural knowledge in mathematics.

Abstract
This paper reviews a research article on the evaluation of digital libraries. This paper examines the article closely for research protocols and standards and finds the article interesting in providing important conceptual analysis of digital library research; however, the absence of an account of qualitative methodologies in the article made for very poor research. As such, this is an interesting article, but it contributes nothing to the emergent field of digital research and the evaluation of digital libraries.
