Abstract
This research paper investigates the development of sailing boat design and construction, providing a selective study of the history of sailing boats including their use, design and construction and evolution. The paper then offers an investigation of the development of computer technology for design purposes, which shows how the accessibility of computer hardware and the availability of software are major factors that enable their use as tools to aid the design process. Finally, a summary is provided as to when, where and how computer technology have been used in the design process of the case study and an evaluation of the previously discussed information regarding the application of computer technology in the design process. This research supports the theory that computers are an essential element to modern ship design.
From the Paper
"Boats are a tool that must be of use to human beings. Boats were first developed in response to certain social needs and as these needs changed so did boats, their design and usage. Boats are primarily for the purpose of transportation of people and goods, no matter what the final intent of the people, the role of the boat is always transportation. The following overview will examine how the use of ships has changed over time and how the design of ships have changed in reopens to changing needs. New technology has undoubtedly had an impact on the design of ships. It is the combination of these factors that have led to the advances in shipbuilding that embody the art as is today."

Abstract
This paper examines the article, "Five Critical Questions," that appeared in the February 7 issue of "Business Week." The first question, asked and addressed by Stan Crock is, ?What Kind of Superpower? will America be in its future? The second question asked by Pete Engardio, deals with ?What?s Next for the Global Economy?? The third question, asked by Paul Starobin, is ?What is Moscow?s New Role?? The fourth question, asked by Dexter Roberts, is ?How does China Play its Hand?? The fifth and final question as asked by Stanley Reed is: ?Will the Arab Nation ever Change?? These questions and their answers are an attempt at understanding the tragedy of September 11.
From the Paper
"The first question, asked and addressed by Stan Crock is, ?What Kind of Superpower? will America be in its future? In the past, America has often claimed not to be a hegemonic or imperialistic nation, and Republicans such as Bush have generally refrained (at least in theory) from global government, internationalism, or ?nation-building? and tended towards isolationism. However, in the wake of a perceived active and growing terrorist threat, Bush is pushing America towards sweeping international power. He suggests that terrorist activity would be cut by aiding foreign governments in improving border controls and intelligence, overhauling their judicial system, and helping them to track the financial activities of citizens suspected of crime or terrorism, and providing military support for anti-terrorist or counter-revolutionary measures. Much of this would be done in cooperation with the World Bank. It?s unclear how far he will take this, as both many American citizens and foreign powers have deep reservations about such global controls."

Final Conclusions
From the Paper
"To understand the marketing mechanism of Foot Locker, it is important to also understand the nature of the business in which they excel. Foot Locker is a major player in the direct sales of athletic footwear, accessories and apparel to virtually every demographic and market segment due to a diverse selection of retail concept stores and a growing online identity. The marketing that Foot Locker undertakes involves well known athletes to a great extent, with the rationale that if the average person can't play football like their favorite professional player, they can at least look like him or wear his name and number across their backs. In the midst of this marketing effort, Foot Locker also utilizes growth and expansion as a marketing tool. At the present time, Foot Locker is gaining a stronghold in Ireland and has yet unnamed new territories in which to place stores. For as large and far reaching as Foot Locker is right now, there are still areas in which Foot Locker has not gotten involved, and must do so to continue growth as well as to maintain what it has gained in other countries and parts of the world as well.

Abstract
This paper examines the ancient Chinese custom of foot binding. The paper details the history of this ritual and the socio-cultural role it played in Chinese society. Then the paper turns to an analysis of the metaphoric significance of foot binding in literature and on film. Works studied include the James Michener epic novel "Hawaii" and the film "The Hawaiians", which is based on the novel and the film "The Inn of the Sixth Happiness".
From the Paper
"James Michener explored the Chinese culture in his epic novel Hawaii, which was made into two films, the second of which, The Hawaiians, dealt with the Chinese woman Char Nyuk Tsin, and her husband, Kee Mun Ki. While the practice of foot binding is never a central theme or issue of either the novel or the film, it is an underlying element in the plot structure and character development. Char Nyuk Tsin is a peasant woman of Hakka, a mountain village that traditionally does not bind the feet of their women, since they are required to carry heavy loads up and down steep and rocky terrain. A rival neighboring village practices the custom, considering it a mark of ignorance that their neighbors leave their women's feet to grow naturally.When the Chinese are imported to Hawaii to work in the fields, the first women allowed on the islands are the women with strong, unbound feet. Chinese women with bound feet are not among the early Chinese allowed to relocate in the Hawaiian Islands, since their usefulness as laborers is limited."

"My Left Foot", 2005.
Argues that the movie, "My Left Foot", is not a progressive representation of disability.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The movie, "My Left Foot", stars Daniel Day Lewis as the real life Irish cerebral palsy survivor, Christy Brown. Greatly encouraged by his mother, he becomes a noted painted and author. The paper shows how the movie uses Christy's life to bring across the message that even the disabled can succeed in a competitive and often unforgiving society; however, the movie's perspective comes across as idealistic and unattainable. The paper argues that the movie fails to address the fact that not all disabled persons have such special talents as Christy and therefore does not represent the disabled sector of the community correctly.
From the Paper
"The other progressive aspect that we have to study from the movie is society. In the movie, society does not reject Christy because of his disability. In real life this factor is rare because the harsh reality is that people will discriminate. During Christy's childhood, the children really enjoyed playing with him, expressing no misgivings, as children might, about playing with a disabled child. The children in the movie never ask or express any curiosity, in regards to Christy's handicap. It's almost as if the producers of this movie try to sugar-wash this aspect in order to convince the audience that society has no problem with the disabled."

Abstract
This paper describes how patient education is implemented form a nursing care perspective. This paper focuses on diabetic foot care. It details what will be needed in carrying out patient education, using a multi-modality and return demo approach. It also explains the steps to take in order to implement teaching. It is emphasized that the patient must accept his illness in order to maximize learning, which may become a major impediment in promoting foot care education.
From the Paper
"It cannot be emphasized enough how important foot care in diabetics is. In addition, it is one of the easiest preventive measures to teach diabetic patients. The most dreaded complications arising from the lack of proper foot care can range from toe, foot or leg amputation, which is more common than blindness (International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot, in Young, 2005). Taking this into consideration, it may well be the most cost-effective preventive measure that can be imparted to the diabetic patient. In order to encourage active participation by the patient, such materials as a life-size, life-like, anatomically accurate foot model, written material in the form of take-home, "must-know' brochures."

Abstract
The paper examines the life and terms of office of William Clinton, the forty second president of the United States. This paper traces his early life, through his first presidency, and then the second, giving a step-by-step list of actions he took, the things that he achieved and the Lewinsky scandal.
From the Paper
"When the names of presidents come to mind, we often think of those that led the nation through hard times, or those that did something truly great in their time in office. Names like Washington, Lincoln, and Roosevelt come to mind. If you were to ask anyone, chances are good that the name Bill Clinton, the forty-second President of the United States, will not come to mind on this list. That does not mean, however, that Clinton did not do anything noteworthy, or important during his time in the Oval Office, but only that he isn?t remembered for any of it, yet."

A review of the history of graphic design and graphic design technology.
2,475 words (approx. 9.9 pages), 4 sources, $ 97.95
»

Abstract
This paper considers how graphic design was much influenced by technological developments in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and continues to be influenced by new developments in technology, with computer-aided graphic design being a current example. The paper further discusses how graphic design came into its own as a separate discipline in the late nineteenth century, though the art of arranging text and image to convey a message is much older in practice. Graphic design as a discipline came with the development of various technological shifts allowing for such arrangements on a mass scale through the arts of photography, printing, and widespread dissemination.

Abstract
This paper explains that "Understanding by Design" (UbD), developed by Grant Wiggins and Jay Mc Tighe, is an academic framework for designing curriculum units, performance assessments and instruction, which advances a deeper and better understanding among the learners by beginning with the end goals in mind. The author points out that the 'Backward Design' model, which is an outcome of the concept of "Understanding by Design", centers on the idea that the learning process should commence after having identified the desired results and then works backwards to evolve most suitable methodology instead of adopting a routine approach of learning. The paper states that the advantages of this model are that it (1) helps design instruction that promotes understanding and student engagement, (2) provides design tools and templates in addition to the design standards and (3) enables "results" orientation, which focuses on assessment first and relevant instructional activities last.

Conclusion
Table 1. Big Idea in the Backward Design Approach
From the Paper
"The learners or the students are another important component of this design and should therefore be able to describe the goals and performance requirements of the unit or course. In addition, the learners should be able to explain what they are doing and why. It is recommended that the learners should be engaged in activities that help them to learn the big ideas and answer the essential questions. These activities should also promote explanation, interpretation, application, perspective taking, empathy, and self-assessment. The students should avail all opportunities that are provided to them to demonstrate what they are learning. The students should also be involved in self- or peer-assessment based on established criteria and performance standards."
