From the Paper
"New telephone information technology has created commercial opportunities for business and has enhanced information services for consumers through innovations such as autodialed calls, fax machines, pay-per-call or audiotext (900-number) services, and caller identification services.. The same technology also has created new ways to commit telemarketing fraud and decreased individual privacy through the disclosure of telephone numbers, and the compilation of credit, buying, and other personal information in databases. In addition, it has created a new way to sell pornography to people who might otherwise not have access to it. It is this latter 900-number usage that has caused great controversy.
The debate over the value of pornographic expression has wide implications. Proponents of the arts defend pornography as ... "

Abstract
Sexual difference is a recent addition to studies of gender. It is generally defined as the intersection between biological sex, social aspects of gender, as well as the impact of sexuality. In effect, it posits that none of these are mutually exclusive, that they combine to create "gender identity." It particular, this paper looks at how transgenderism poses challenges to this - and how it asks why these intersections come in to play and what the costs of incongruity between the three are. This paper looks at drag performance, 'true' transgenderism, and shemale porn in this context, asking whether they each support or erode hegemonic ideals of sexual difference. By looking at the specific gender performances in each category, drag can be presented as subversive to ideas of sexual difference, transgenderism can be perceived as supportive of sexual difference, and shemale porn unintentionally falls somewhere in the middle - it is both subversive and supportive.
Outline
Drag - Entertainment and Political Subversion
True Transgenderism - Replications of Hegemony?
Shemale Porn - Dominance, Subjugation and 'Faking It'
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Raymond suggests that transsexuality, without the option of surgery, "could turn our sexual order upside down because it evades the impact of both socialization and biology as instances of sex typing" (cited in de Castro, 1993, p 88). In other words, transgenderism could have the political effect of drag performance everyday, on all people. Drag, unfortunately, only has the opportunity to challenge hegemonic norms at specific and scheduled times, to a limited (usually paying, interested, and open-minded) audience. However, by escaping into surgery, by 'matching' gender and biology, it is argued that transgendered people give up that opportunity in order to participate in the dichotomous thinking of our gender-repressive society."

"Ethernet Overview
Ethernet is the most common way of networking today. Today?s Ethernet networks are 10BaseT or 100BaseT, which allows data to pass at 10-100 Megabits per second. Ethernet is a good system because it has stood the test of time, it is easily available and it offers flexibility.
How Ethernet Works
When one Ethernet station transmits all of the stations in the medium hear the transmission. Today the Ethernet refers to both Ethernet implementation and the IEEE 802.3 standards. Ethernet devices attach to a common medium for the electronic signals to pass through. Today, twisted pair or fiber-optic cabling are the most common cables used. The stations or nodes communicate in short messages called frames. In the Ethernet the destination address is the most critical to identify who will receive the frame."

From the Paper
" The History of Clocks
The perception of time most likely developed through the observation of natural phenomena. Early humans survived without quantifying time. As behavior became more complex, increasingly advanced societies required timekeeping devices. The history of clocks may be thought of as a chronicle of human progress. Horologists have responded to specific technical and social problems by creating new methods of measuring time. Even in the modern era, technological needs determine clock accuracy.
Time and Its Measurement
For the earliest humans, time may have been related to the movement of the sun. Repetitive phenomena such as the sunrise and sunset could have led to a conception of time span. Eventually, primitive humans began to estimate the day's length."

Abstract
This pape looks at what kind of pornographic material in being transmitted via the Internet, and how available and accessible is child pornography to these pedophiles. The author discusses the methods the government, parents and communities have undertaken to protect children from this rapidly increasing sub-culture.
From the Paper
"Since the widespread use of the Internet began, public safety, specifically relating to the safety of children has become a major issue and highly debated topic. The Internet has become an international gateway for child predators to produce and distribute child pornography. It allows these people not only to have limitless boundaries for its promotion, advanced technology for its production, but to be able to form a virtual community, hosting forums, newsgroups and providing vast resources for their fetishes. It is suggested that not only are these sites readily available and easily accessible for public viewing, but are also being protected under legislation. Various methods of exposing and deterring these predators have been created, ranging from anti-child pornography websites to parental control software to new and stricter laws and harsher punishments both for the consumers and creators. It is interesting to examine what is myth and what is truth regarding this phenomenon. Realistically, what kind of pornographic material in being transmitted via the Internet? Why? How available and accessible is child pornography to these ?kiddy pornophiles?"

Abstract
This paper explains that the best way to communicate is face-to-face, or direct communication, rather than the printed medium of emails, letters, and memos; therefore, business telephony is the next best thing to a face-to-face meeting. The author points out that a cost effective and an extremely efficient method way of direct person-to-person communication is LAN telephony that combines telephony and data. The paper relates that the Dual Tone Multi Frequency Dialing System, which integrates telephony and data services, marks a dramatic advancement in technology, whereby, the conventional rotary pulse dialing system and today?s touch stone method of dialing, known as Dual Tone Multi Frequency Dialing, are updated and made more efficient.
From the Paper
"The open systems interconnection (OSI) has been developed by the International Standard Organization (ISO) to maintain a standard for the exchanging of information within a network of communications. It basically comprises seven layers of rules that would serve as a standard for the communications networks all over the world. The seven layers attempt to define abstract ideas on these issues. The Reference Model as it is called underlines the various means through which communication takes place. It breaks up all the functions into easily identifiable layers. Layer 1 therefore comprises the actual physical layer of the network that would include wires, plugs and signals that receive and send out communications to the network. Layer 2 is the data layer that transfers the physical bulk of the data from one computer to the other one."

Escalation in Crimes Against Children
Laws Against Child Porn
Recidivism Rates of Pedophiles
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Before the mass advent of the Internet, most child predators stalked their victims in public places such as schoolyards, playgrounds, and shopping malls. Attempting to make contact with children in person exposed the pedophiles to enhanced risk of getting caught; hence their activity was limited in scope. With the advent of the Internet, most predators target children for criminal acts in cyberspace. Young children and teenagers are considered relatively "soft" targets by the pedophiles since they are "often trusting, naive, curious, adventuresome, and eager for attention and affection" and the anonymity of the Internet eliminates many of the risks that predators previously faced while attempting to make contact with children in person. ("Internet Crimes..." Section on "Children as Targets...") Research has shown that about 25% of the children who use the Internet regularly are at some stage approached by strangers for unwanted sexual advances. (Ibid.)"

Abstract
This paper discusses the article by John Carr entitled "It's Time to Tackle Cyberporn." The paper argues that Carr's solution to Internet pornography is too radical and that it fails to lay the responsibility for keeping children out of trouble, with the parents, where it belongs. The paper goes on to suggest that his solution steps on the Bill of Rights, which guarantees freedom of speech.

From the Paper
"Two, Carr suggests a "ratings system" where, like music and movies, parents would be able to see whether it's "family-friendly" or not. This is an absurd notion, since there are virtually thousands of new Web sites going online every day, and the trickery that can be used in presenting the substance of their material will fool any ratings software. And in order to promote his point about strict ratings system Carr uses emotional arguments rather than principle-based arguments. He refers to those like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) - who resist any form of censorship on the Web - as having "anxieties...[that are] at best misplaced and at worst paranoid, reckless or self-serving." So, his principle arguments are one, outdated, and two, based on speculation about possible "ratings systems" - which are not bad, but have limited application to the real problem, which is parents who do not supervise their children with intelligent, firm strategies."

Pornography and Violence, 2005.
An overview how pornography contributes to violence in society.
2,900 words (approx. 11.6 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 85.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the links between X-rated pornography and violence and then examines the issue from several factorial perspectives. First of all, the history of pornography is assessed domestically, with an attenuation to the present. Then, the positive and negative effects of pornography are assessed from a societal perspective, as well as a political perspective. Trading rhetoric for testimonial, the paper then explores the ease with which one can become sucked into the porn industry and considers sensationalist media representations, as well as feminist arguments. Finally, the paper concentrates on how pornography affects children, drawing a line between exploration and emulation that is often difficult to ascribe generally.
From the Paper
"In terms of history, pornography is venerable, and has different functions in different cultures and societies (some of them religious). Taking a narrowed view of pornography as being against Christian principles is a fairly common and relatively culturally obtuse perspective that is nonetheless particularly present in America, land of religious freedom under God. Na?ve skepticism aside, the domestic history of pornography can mainly be traced through different types of media and rates of domestic consumption, as well as a gradual loosening of the definitions of pornography, leading to a present in which it is inherently accessible within established moral limitations that also serve a political function. The political solutions to problems posed by pornography will be discussed later; a media history is more aligned with the current domestic presentation, although politics are often inextricably linked with this history in terms of censorship and allowance."

Sex in Advertising, 2005.
This paper discusses the use of women and young girls as sexual objects in media advertisements as a continuation of the belief in gender inequality.

Abstract
This paper explains that the use of women and young girls in advertising has been criticized, but the fact is that sex has always been used as an advertising strategy and has always had the effect of attracting consumers. The author points out some media messages are telling people that women may be heads of states and may be doctors, but, in the end, they are all sexual objects, made for the satisfaction of the male. The paper relates that young girls are used in ads in such a sexual way that the U.S. justice Department stopped a Calvin Klein ad campaign because it was "likened to kiddie porn."
From the Paper
"Women, according to sociologists such as Dawn Currie are viewed in "traditional womanhood" terms, which focus on "physical beautification and heterosexual romance" (456). Women, therefore, are seen as objects of beauty and sex, with their task in life being to enhance their sexual and physical appeal to attract men. This view of women has survived over the centuries and is still dominant today, even though women have become heads of states, business leaders, and have proven that they are equal to males. Similarly, the view of children as not having the right to an opinion and having little rights compared to the adult is very strong. More to the point, similar to women, children are viewed as having a duty to obey adult males. The belief that women and children are inferior to the adult males has survived across time, despite campaigns for women and children's rights and , according to many observers, due to the content of media advertisement, images and messages."

?Blue Velvet?, 2004.
A review of David Lynch's film, "Blue Velvet".

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the film, "Blue Velvet," directed by David Lynch. Specifically, it discusses mise-en-scene and cinematography in the film. It looks at how David Lynch is a master of the film noir, dark and brooding types of films that disturb, disquiet, and titillate, all at the same time, and how "Blue Velvet" is no exception. It discusses how the film is part blue porn flick, part girl-next-door love story, and part sadistic kidnapping, and how the elements all blend together to form a cohesive whole because of Lynch's masterful use of mise-en-scene staging and cinematography. "Blue Velvet," even with its happy ending, leaves the viewer wanting more, somehow and that, too, seems to be just what Lynch intended.
From the Paper
"Mise-en-scene is a French term describing the "director's text" or staging of a film, and in "Blue Velvet," David Lynch's intricate and often surreal staging is an integral part of the film. He arranges space and time in the film with such dark and dreamlike qualities that the film can be nothing more than memorable and yet quite disturbing at the same time ? a true mark of Lynch's film and a tribute to his mise-en-scene. The most compelling visual motif in the film is of course the color blue. Lynch stages action around the color to keep it always in the memory of the viewers. The film opens with a sensuous scene of blue velvet fabric undulating on the screen, the theme continues from the background music to the clearly blue cigarette smoke issuing from the cigarettes of the characters, and in fact, Dorothy, the nightclub singer and sado-masochist, is known as "The Blue Lady" in her act."

Breastfeeding in Public, 2008.
This paper discusses the benefits and need for breastfeeding in public.
1,155 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper states that breastfeeding in public is legal in the United States. The author points out that, despite this legality, for some people, the sight of a mother breastfeeding in public is a cause of discomfort. The paper relates that public health officials and even the laws agree that mothers should have the right to breastfeed in public; however, the debate against public breastfeeding brings to mind the issues surrounding pornography and art that, if it aims to titillate, it is classified as porn. The author summarizes the many benefits of breastfeeding for the child and mother and concludes that not breastfeeding on demand in public can deprive both mother and infant of these benefits.
Outline:
Introduction
The Law: a Rundown of Statutes from all 50 States about Breastfeeding in Public
It's One's Right: Benefits of Breastfeeding
It's One's Right: The Impediments of Breastfeeding in Public, Specifically at Work
It's One's Right: Explicit Reasons Why Breastfeeding in Public is Okay
Alternatives to Breastfeeding in Public
From the Paper
"In 2005, a different kind of protest spread from the Internet, to the streets, and outside the ABC headquarters. The culprit was Barbara Walters' comment on "The View" that the sight of a woman breast-feeding her child beside her on a plane made her uncomfortable. Outside the ABC headquarters, which airs "The View", some women were breastfeeding their babies in full view of everyone. Some held up placards and signs that denounced both Walters and her program. Amy Harmon writes that this was probably the first overt manifestation of a movement called "lactivism" or women who wants their right to breastfeed in public recognized."

Air Traffic Control Communication.
This paper discusses air traffic control communication, the interactions between the pilots, and the traffic controlling authorities.
3,780 words (approx. 15.1 pages), 16 sources, MLA, $ 104.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the entire system of air traffic management is dependent upon the accountability of pilots on board and the air traffic controllers, who are dependent upon the data displayed and acquired from their computer screens, dials, and gauges simultaneously being ratified by their insights of past experience and pre-determined operational guidelines. The author points out that, although English is acknowledged as the international language in aviation history, many pilots present problems of dialects, accents, and interpretations, which have resulted in crashes. The paper relates that efficient communication will go a long way in guaranteeing secured air travel; advanced technology is now being launched, and rules are being slackened to render the pilots and air controllers greater freedom. Includes a PowerPoint presentation.
From the Paper
"The confusion resulting in misinterpretations of the terminologies lead to visualization of different objects other than those it indicates to. The lack of proficiency in the English language is noticed both among the Air Traffic Controller and the pilots the United States. However, it is not confined only to the foreign pilots. It is also essential in case of the US pilots flying across the other nations and facing the controlling crews of other nationalities, to effectively comprehend the short, disconnected and unintelligible English communications similar to the expectations of the proficiency in English by the foreign pilots. (Guest Editorial: Barriers to Effective Communication: Implications for the Cockpit) Moreover, the fact of deficiency of the foreign pilots in the English Language and their confinement to some of the standard aviation phraseologies must be acknowledged."

"BluetoothTM is a low cost, low power, short-range radio technology- originally perceived as cable replacement alternative for the cable / wire connected devices such as mobile phone hand, headsets, and portable computers. The BluetoothTM?s goals expanded to include standardized wireless communications between any electrical devices and created a notion of Personal Area Network. The write-up traces history of BluetoothTM starting with its unusual name to formation of Special Interest Group, SIG?s formation, its growth culminating into implementation of version 1.0b."
