Abstract
This paper discusses white as a color and more specifically, white light. The paper describes the qualities of the color white and the multifaceted nature of existence and the way that it relates to significant chemical alterations in nature. The paper goes on to discuss the importance of white light to the scientific understanding of reflective light and the dimensions of other colors.
From the Paper
"Dimensions of the Color White Outline I Introduction. White as a color is not often considered to have many dimensions or properties that are significant to either science or society. While white may carry with it the concept of "purity", the color itself is multifaceted and related to significant chemical alterations in nature. White light has been especially important to scientific understanding of reflective light and the dimensions of other colors. Scientifically white must possess certain chemical compounds in order to exist, and in the field of psychology, white speaks to individuals through subconscious messages about the world they live in."

Abstract
This paper discusses the dimensions of Indigos, purples, and violets, all which have strong influences in the histories of many countries and in how society viewed these colors in relation to wealth and social standing. According to the paper, the creation of these colors was a painstaking process that required a craft unto itself. For this reason the use of indigos, purples, and violets were reserved for those of a higher class. In modern times these colors have been important to the study of physiology and psychology because of the impact that they are perceived to have on the mental and physical aspects of the individual.

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the theory of the existence of three different dimensions of listening. The writer describes the three different dimensions as purely musical, sensuous and expressive. In this regard, the writer uses Sting's song "Fields of Gold," in order to demostrate the theory. The writer discusses the appreciation of music in this way.
From the Paper
"Aaron Copland argues that we listen to music on three planes, the sensuous the expressive and the sheerly musical. I tried to listen on all three planes to Sting's song 'Fields of Gold' which I had heard many times on the radio and as the third song on his CD Ten Summoner's Tales and listening to it this way gave me a whole new appreciation for his artistry. Copland says that the first plane the sensuous is just enjoying the music without thinking about it. That's how ... "

Abstract
In a globalized world, there is a growing need for understanding different types and forms of interaction between people in intercultural environments, i.e. working places, cities, etc. This implies that people refer more and more to various communication models and practices to master communication across cultures. These models ultimately lead to applying best practices in intercultural communication. One of the most popular models is the 7D Cultural Dimensions Model developed by Fons Trompenaars and Charles Hampden-Turner. First, this paper reviews the concept of culture as is related to the model. Second, it presents the seven dimensions of the model. Finally, the paper compares and contrasts the United States and Singapore within the context of the 7D Cultural Dimensions Model. The paper includes tables.
From the Paper
"First, there is Recognition, whereby organizations and individuals develop cultural awareness, i.e. knowing who they are on the intercultural world map, to what culture they belong, of what culture they are a product. It is also the stage in which one must recognize and become aware of the fact that there are cultural differences in the world of international cooperation. A common attitude of defense it to ignore the differences, with all the related risks when things go wrong. Recognizing the differences with the culture or context involved is also important in this stage."

Abstract
This paper explains four principles which health care practitioners must consider when faced with a dilemma. They are A) autonomy, B) beneficiency, C) non-maleficence, and 4) justice. The author defines autonomy as the independence to determine one?s own direction, conditioned only by the need to respect others? individual liberties. Beneficence is the righteous philosophy of doing good, while non-maleficence adds the condition that no harm should be done. Justice, the quality which creates the most controversy, may be defined as fair, just, equitable, and unbiased decision making.
Introduction
Morality And Ethics: What are they and Why do they Matter?
All You Need to Know about Ethics Approaches and Theories
Means, Ends, Principles and Virtues
A Six-Step Process of Ethical Decision Making for You to Follow
Surviving Professional Life Ethically
Ethical Dimensions of the Professional ?Patient Relationship
Special Challenges: ?Difficult Patients? and Patients in Suicidal Crisis
Bibliography
From the Paper
"Case studies become much more than words on a page when health care professionals see these names as people, who hurt, are afraid, and look to you, a medical professional for comfort. The actions the medical practitioner take next will help define their moral values. As Dr. Purtilo states on page 7, ?The goal of morality is to protect a high quality of life for an individual or for a community as a whole.? When one enters training to become a health care professional, the next stop should be to prepare themselves to deal with three types of morality: their own, their society?s, and that of society as a whole. These are pretty heavy topics for young people of 18 or 20 to ponder, but ponder them they must. If knowledge is the foundation of trust, morality must be its supporters. All medical professionals will encounter situations which should cause them to ?search their souls? for the best answers. The case studies which Dr. Purtilo presents throughout this book are actually a means to play the ?what if? game. ?What if it were my father/husband/brother/son? What would I do?? Dr. Purtilo closes this first chapter by saying that the formation of our morality and values is an on-going process. Each case will present slightly different variables and questions, therefore each day will be a type of check-up of our values and morality."

Blood Type in Relation to Personality Dimensions, 2002.
Looks at traditional ideas of blood type theories of personality and the need for these theories to be acknowledged by the western world.

Abstract
Lack of sufficient interest among western psychologist in blood type theories of personality has left the topic to be influenced by traditional belief. This paper shows that although this belief is widespread in Japan, where research findings do not support a relationship between blood types and personality traits, western evolutionary psychologists have given a new dimension to it by linking blood types with evolution of human civilization and dietary practices. Future research on relationship between blood type and personality needs to consider individuals' expectation, prejudice, and attitude to discrimination.

From the Paper
"Bereavement Stress and Coping are familiar terms in English-speaking
countries as need modification to reveal the severity of symptoms and
the reality of persons who cannot 'cope'. Stage theories distort, as can
the under-estimation of anxiety, depression or more alarming symptoms
bereaved persons experience well beyond the acute or first year aftermath of loss. One needs awareness of postmodern societies a long average lifespan but also youth, midlife and serial bereavement as common phenomena. Inductive research, as in this paper's proposed project, should harvest the testimony of persons to survive bereavement, as other research must help human services professionals to become oriented to what bereavement stress can really entail, the nature of loss in the early 21st century.

The Moral Dimensions of Punishment, 2005.
A philosophical and ethics-based debate on the moral justification of punishment by the state.

Abstract
The paper discusses the moral implications of punishment within the judicial system. The paper focuses on three areas of punishment: capital punishment, imprisonment in maximum security facilities, and the surveillance of sex-offenders. The writer concludes that although the criminal must be held responsible and accountable for his/her crimes against society, as human beings, we should ask ourselves whether or not it is morally right to punish our fellow man, and whether this punishment puts us on the same moral level as a criminal who punishes his victim.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Capital Punishment
Maximum Security Confinement
The Surveillance of Sex Offenders
Conclusion
From the Paper
"More recently, law enforcement officials and state governments have begun surveillance programs for sex offenders in the form of ankle bracelets which monitor their every move or perhaps house arrest with constant video camera surveillance. Since the majority of these sex offenders target children as their victims, the morality of such surveillance is redundant, for it has been shown that surveillance techniques decrease the incidents of sexual crime and thus make our communities safer for children."

Abstract
This paper looks at recent studies that have been able to unravel several mysteries about the components, phases, and duration of love. The paper shows that each component of each stage and phase of love, when properly applied in comparison to a real-life relationship, can help to predict the duration of a relationship, as well as allows lovers to realize and fix any problems in their relationship.
From the Paper
"The least important component in this stage is C. Persons in this stage are subject to a wave of new and intense emotions, both of general and sexual physiological activation. They also experience a gradually satisfied desire to establish a special affective bond with the other."

Abstract
Creating and managing brand image is a critical part of any retail business?s overall marketing plan. Yet research is lacking that demonstrates clear correlational links between cultural and socio-economic factors and branding imaging and performance in global markets, with particular regard for Internet-based businesses. The paper proposes a study to examine and identify the assorted cultural and socio-economic dimensional characteristics of foreign markets that are theorized to affect brand imaging and performance. The study proposes to obtain and analyze data from a multinational sample of internet business managers, representing 10 countries and 25 regions within these countries, in order to collect data related to the proposed study variables. The ramifications of the study findings for businesses that market brands globally over the internet and suggestions for further research are discussed. Chapter One includes an introduction and background of the problem and a theoretical framework for the study. This section is followed by a rational for this study, the research hypotheses and definitions of key concepts. Chapter Two presents an extensive literature review of the research topic and variables involved; this includes the concepts of brand image development, image branding strategies, cultural and socioeconomic market factors and product performance in the global market. Chapter Three presents information on the study?s methodology, including research design, sample, survey questionnaire, procedures and data analysis. Results are presented in Chapter Four. Chapter Five includes a discussion of the managerial and theoretical implications of the findings and suggestions for further research.
From the Paper
"With so many new companies appearing daily on the Internet, the effective manager must develop a marketing plan that presents products to the largest possible audience of customers. This is where brand image formation comes into play, as products and brands are frequently used to express cultural principles and determine cultural categories. Since brands and products that cross cultural boundaries can lead to customer confusion (certain goods may not be valued for the same reasons across cultures), effective marketers must ensure that the values communicated by their products and brands are meaningful to customers in their target audience (Steinberg & Klein, 1998). Identifying the pertinent cultural and socio-environmental characteristics that satisfy consumer needs should help marketers choose brand image strategies that have the greatest potential."

Abstract
This essay explores the cultural and social dimensions of the color green. The color green is often associated with sensations that could be described as soothing, healing, leisurely, and peaceful. This paper goes on to discuss how symbolically, green can also be a mixed metaphor of sorts in that, while someone can use it to say they are in the money, it can also be indicative of a lack of experience, rage, hate, or envy.

Abstract
This paper explains that there is evidence that color, especially the viewer's favorite colors, plays an important role in graphic design, especially print media and advertising. The author points out that color has symbolic meaning, which differ culturally: in western societies, white is seen as the traditional color for weddings but, in the Chinese culture, white is used for funerals; and, in America, red is often associated with rage or anger but in China red is used for happiness. The paper relates (1) the importance of graphic designers to study the role of color, how it makes people feel and why this is so significant and (2) the need for more research to understand this phenomena.

From the Paper
"The favorite color that an individual has is considered to say a great deal about them. It is important here to look at the most popular colors briefly and what they say about individuals. Black is considered to be a color of power and authority. It is also very popular and fashionable because many people that wear black look thinner. Black is considered to be timeless and very stylish, but it also implies submissionFor example, priests wear black to signify that they are submissive to God There are those in fashion that indicate women who were black imply that they are submissive to men but many black outfits are also utilized for aloofness or evil, such as those traditionally worn by villains in many television shows and movies."

Two Kinds of Color, 2002.
Explores the distinction between phenomenal and physical color, using the views of philosophers.
4,634 words (approx. 18.5 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 119.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper advances the argument that the colors we consciously experience are not the same as whatever colors may exist in the external world/ This means that even if color is a real physical property of things in the world, the colors objects ?actually? have are not the same as the colors we experience them as having. This is not to say that things we see as being red may actually be blue, but rather that red, blue, and all of the other colors that comprise human color experience do not exist outside of that experience, regardless of whether there is an objective property of color in the world. This paper uses considerations put forward by George Berkeley and John Locke as well as current philosophers, neuroscientists and physicists. It approaches the topic from both a scientific standpoint as well as a philosophical one, though more emphasis is put on the latter.
From the Paper
"Berkeley simply extends this argument to additionally cover Locke?s primary qualities, which he argues are likewise only known to us through our senses and perceptions. If colors, smells, tastes, etc., do not exist objectively in the world because they are not independent of the senses, then, by Berkeley?s reasoning, nothing can exist independently of perception because our knowledge of everything in the world ? including the primary qualities, which are the basic entities of all objects ? also stems entirely from our senses. Berkeley?s argument is largely based on the false reasoning that physical things in the world could not possible cause ideas in us , so his conclusion is easy to shrug off. But there is something very intriguing in the points he makes leading up to that misstep: We are indeed limited in our knowledge of the world by our inability to observe external things independent of our senses."

Colours: Red and Orange, 2005.
A review of colour and the role it has played in human life, culture and practices over thousands of years.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the concept of colour and how humans have used colour for thousands of years. Colour has been employed by humans for many a purpose. Humans have used colour to dye clothing, to paint their bodies and dwellings, and in various religious rituals and regal ceremonies.
From the Paper
"Color is a concept that, as many commentators have observed is inherently paradoxical: color is at once both easily understandable and yet resistant to analysis, rooted in scientific research and yet shaped by cultural and psychological interpretations (Westphal, 1-2). For thousands of years humans have employed color for a wide range of purposes - from dyes in clothes to its use in paints - which often reflect the particular cultural predispositions of the society in which the colors are used. However, it has only been in the past few centuries that scientists have systematically explored the nature of color and how and why humans perceive distinct colors."

The Color Semiotics of Power, 2004.
An analysis of semiotics, the study of signs, signifiers, and the signified, as it is used in conjunction with the color theory to determine power.

Abstract
This paper contends that the primary discussion of communication in any management theory involves power. One of the most theoretical tools to determine this is semiotics. The study of signs, signifiers, and the signified, semiotics intertwines with color theory to produce two colors that symbolize power more than any others, red and yellow. The paper explains that, by establishing that colors can be viewed as signs, signifieds, and signifiers, humanity has been opened up to the interpretation of colors. By examining the tendencies, histories, and general uses and interpretations of all of the colors of the spectrum, this paper determines that red and yellow are by far the most powerful colors of the spectrum.
From the Paper
"In semiotics, textual analysis reaches its peak. Authorial intent in all communication is distinguished from the communication itself, and the communication is asked to stand alone. For instance, as Chandler writes, a text can exist in any medium, whether verbal or non-verbal, and once it has been recorded, it is devoid of any intent infused in it by the "author." For our purposes, the colorer applies color to her painting, presentation, graphics module or sculpture, and she may have intended that color to symbolize either power or lack thereof, or specifically a certain type of power, but her designs over her designs simply matter not. Instead, our own interpretations of her work, our own decisions and inferences regarding her choices of colors are the true indicators of power or a particular type of power in the work."
