Abstract
This essay explores the possibilities of the varying factors that might affect the probability of one disclosing personal information and thoughts to another.
From the Paper
"Not revealing personal information reduces the chances of others using that information against oneself but inevitably, people still reveal information about themselves on a day to day basis, especially to family and friends, and sometimes even strangers or acquaintances for various reasons. Derlega (1987) describes self-disclosure as the process of telling another person about oneself; honestly sharing thoughts and feelings that may be personal or private. To a large extent, having different personalities, gender and age does affect one?s reason to self-disclose. However, this does not exclude the considerations that obligation may take the form of other situational factors, such as the studies by Gouldner in 1960, Bradac, Hosman, & Tardy in 1978 and Chaikin & Derlega, in 1974a (cf. Bradac, Hosman & Tardy, 1980), which show that if one were to disclose intimate information about oneself to another, the recipient is obliged to respond in a similar manner or they might run the risk of being negatively judged. Derlega and Grzelak (1979) offered a list of five different categories of possible purposes of self-disclosure, namely self-expression, self-clarification, social control, social validation and relationship development (cf. Prager, Fuller, & Gonzalez, 1989) which it will be discussed in relation to personality, gender and age factors in this essay."

Disclosing HIV Status to an Employer, 2006.

Abstract
This paper discusses the laws regarding the employment of peoples that are HIV positive and how those laws impact their lives regarding medical care. In particular, the paper discusses the role that the health organizations, Medicare and Medicaid, have in providing care to people infected with HIV or AIDS. The paper concludes that Medicaid plays a critical role in the lives of individuals with HIV/AIDS and will continue to do so more as the population of individuals grows.
From the Paper
"There is no legal obligation to disclose HIV status to an employer unless it in some way affects the way job abilities are performed. The reason why is that HIV cannot be transmitted through casual contact at the workplace. There are exceptions to this rule, including professions such as surgeon or emergency room nurse, where someone could be exposed to your blood. The law does not require an employer to be sympathetic; disclosure can result in disappointment."

Relativism in Historical Texts, 2002.
This paper examines how historical text disclose two eras of thought and perception of events.
3,080 words (approx. 12.3 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 90.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper ask us to reconsider the nature of history in general as well as to reexamine the particular places and times that they are writing about. It seeks to use substitute key theoretical concepts for the traditional chronological structure of history, asking us to consider not what came after what but who had power over whom, and how these social relationships are the causative elements of (each) history. The paper argues that all history is teleological; one is always writing it from what is at that moment the end-point of history and uses gender issues as an example of the hypothesis.
From the Paper
"Every piece of historical description actually describes for the reader two different sets of history. Each historical text discloses to the reader something of what happened during the era under discussion. But it also reveals at least as much about the era in which the history was written. What is considered significant enough to mention, what events are seen as causative rather than incidental, who are the true villains ? all of these things may change from one generation?s historical account to that of the next, and not because new facts have come to light."

Abstract
This paper examines the extent to which interpersonal relationships evolve from initial interactions between women and, in particular, how these relationships flourish or are influenced by the number of partners and length of the partnership a woman shares with the object of her disclosure. More specifically, the paper looks at what impact, if any, the length of a relationship has on a woman's use of disclosure and whether the number of relationships a woman has had impacts her use of disclosure.
From the Paper
"In general, studies suggest that women have higher levels of self-disclosure than men. When women are observed in interpersonal intimate relationships, their use and level of self-disclosure may be expected to influence variable including their level of communication satisfaction and the number and length of interpersonal relationships they maintain. What exactly however, is the relationship between self-disclosure and the number of interpersonal intimate relationships women maintain?"

From the Paper
"This paper discusses the issues of bioethics as they relate to a specific case--that of an East Coast businessman, W.E., who discovers that he is HIV-positive but who refuses to disclose this information to his wife. The doctor who makes the diagnosis is in San Francisco, but he feels obligated to notify W.E.'s hometown doctor and to tell this physician that he should inform W.E.'s wife (W.E.'s doctor is not her personal physician).
At least three major issues are raised by this scenario: the San Francisco physician's disclosure of information to a family doctor without the permission of the patient; the patient's obligation to his wife and children, who might need treatment; and the family physician's responsibility--is he supposed to protect patient confidentiality and not tell the ...

Abstract
This paper reviews three qualitative studies of which the first looks at home schooling in 50 states, the second presents a longitudinal study over ten years and the third evaluates four home schooled students with ADHD. The author points out that these three studies disclose that "normal" students and even students with special needs, such as the ADHD, can benefit more and learn more when they are subjected to the teaching method of home schooling. The paper relates that students' educational achievements, grades and behavioral performances at home and in school are used as proof that home schooling generates better understanding and learning from these students.
Table of Contents:
"Home Schooling Regulations on Educational Enrollments in the United States"
"Home Schooling: Adventitious or Detrimental for Proficiency in Higher Education"
"Home School ... for Students with Attention-Deficit/hyperactivity Disorder"
Generalization
From the Paper
"ADHD students, who participated Duval and Ward's research, were given a series of academic tests with which the results were compared to the average scores given by the normal students. From the summary of the results quoted above, it can be easily inferred that home schooling for ADHD students is effective because the test results revealed that ADHD students (who participated in the study) performed way better than the normal students enrolled in the public schools."

Abstract
This paper explains that the right to privacy is a very complex subject stemming from the protection provided by the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable search and seizure and is often at issue when employers are challenged in court. The author, reviewing AT&T Wireless?s guidebook, indicates that the company reserves the right to monitor, obtain, review, copy, store, and disclose all information, content, and data used, stored, or maintained on the company?s system, including, but not limited to, e-mail and voice mail messages, intranet sites, and Internet access. The paper relates that employers monitor the activities of their employees because employers may be liable for misconduct of employees, and causes for low productivity may be discovered by surveillance.
From the Paper
"Large companies such as AT&T Wireless realize they need to create a privacy policy in order to protect propriety information and most importantly employee data. In order to ensure that employees are aware of their privacy rights, many companies such as AT&T Wireless distributes a yearly colleague guidebook. This guidebook gives specific information on several privacy topics, including the actions the company can take to review company property if they feel you are abusing the use of it. The guidebook discloses the following: ?E-mail, voice mail, intranet/intranet use access is for authorized business use only. The company retains the right to monitor and to electronically limit access to certain sites in its sole discretion.? "

Abstract
This paper examines the following research question: "To what extent, will there be a statistically significant effect, at a confidence level of .05, of male and female leadership styles (authoritarian, laissez-faire, democratic) on the ability of employees to self-disclose (relate oneself) to significant others as measured by the Jourard self-disclosure questionnaire?" The author points out that to maintain the research integrity as to the reliability and validity of the measurement data and statistical data analysis, the data collection will adhere to both pre-data collection and during collection procedures. The paper relates that, as the proposed study is seeking to determine the effects of an independent or treatment variable on the outcome or dependent variable, an orthogonal analysis of variance (ANOVA), which is an inferential parametric statistic, will be used to statistically analyze the data.

Racial Profiling Research.
This paper reports on the 1999 racial profiling survey, known as the Police-Public Contact Survey (PPCS) and the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR 3151) .

Abstract
This paper explains that the racial profiling survey, conducted by the United States Institute of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics and the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR 3151), was specifically designed to examine any differences in the rate that white and non-white drivers are subjected to traffic stops and to subsequent enforcement action arising from traffic stops. The author states that, according to the PPCS, black drivers were more likely than whites to be stopped while driving, as well as being stopped more than once within the same year. The paper relates that perhaps the most significant finding of the PPCS relates to the so-called ?outcome test? of police searches. If the justification for racial profiling practices is ?good policing,? the data should reveal that searches of non-white drivers and their vehicles are more likely to disclose contraband than searches of white drivers, but, in fact, the data reveal the exact opposite.
From the Paper
"One of the most significant inquiries included in the PPCS analysis was an examination of the characterization of racial profiling, by some law enforcement representatives, as merely ?good policing.? This argument has often been used to suggest that non-white minorities drivers are disproportionately more likely to possess illegal contraband or to be engaged in criminal activity, thereby justifying the consideration of a driver?s race among the factors giving rise to the initiation of traffic stops and police investigations."

Abstract
In depth analysis of Proposition 34, which attempts to limit and disclose on campaign spending and contributions including. The author discusses how it was brought into the election, how long and why people have been fighting for it, as well as the pros and cons of the California proposition. Includes excellent examples with supportive quotes.
From the Paper
"This year?s election includes the controversial issue of Proposition 34, limits and disclosures on campaign spending and contributions. Currently, there is no limit on campaign contributions and spending in California. Proposition 208, initiating strict limits on campaign contributions and spending, was passed by voters in 1996, but was not put into effect because legal issues tied it up in court (the proposition was challenged on the grounds that its limits were unreasonably low compared to the cost of running for office in California). Proposition 34 attempts to accomplish what Proposition 208 of 1996 could not. As did Proposition 208, it intends to limit campaign contributions and loans to state candidates and political parties, but to higher levels than what Proposition 208 designated. It also attempts to provide voluntary spending limits, expand public disclosure requirements and increase penalties."

High Stakes Testing, 2008.
This paper reviews an online article by the American Psychological Association titled "Appropriate Use of High-Stakes Testing in Our Nation's Schools".
750 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper relates that the article, "Appropriate Use of High-Stakes Testing in Our Nation's Schools", states that standardized, "high-risk" tests should not be the sole determinant for promotion to the next grade level, should accommodate English second language students and test-takers who have disabilities and should be evaluated themselves with an explicit break-down of test results according to specific demographics such as socio-economic factors. The author points out that the article seems to reflect accurately the concerns that high-stakes evaluations lead to "teaching to the test" pedagogical approaches that stifle active learning and creative inquiry. The paper criticizes that the article provides no guidelines, which might disclose how comity between the test's putative objectives and its actual content can be achieved.
From the Paper
"Likewise, the article sagely raises the question of how - and certainly to what extent - high-stakes testing impacts school drop-out rates, course content changes, student anxiety and the long-term achievement rates of students. In some respects, this sort of musing actually reveals another shortcoming of the article insofar as scholarly research exists that actually goes into greater detail about the linkage between high-stakes multiple-choice testing and the reluctance of many pedagogues to embrace constructivist teaching practices."

Wallace Stevens and Desire: Woman Lost--Woman Ignored, 2005.

Abstract
This paper examines the "Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens", America poet. The paper shows that desire and desired denied in this work may be interpreted through the archetypal psychology of Carl Jung to disclose the reason for Stevens' preference for places over people and to explain his ambivalence toward the abstract feminine figures in his poems.
From the Paper
"Feminine archetypes reconstruct the distant attitudes in Stevens' poetry by figuring-forth embedded emotions. First, they provide an archetypal perspective on individual poems. Second, they illustrate how, ranging from Harmonium (1923) to The Rock (1954), clusters of motifs influence the poet-hero's psychic development. Although their appearances change to fit their ambiguous roles, these singular feminine figures determine the poet-hero's canon-long struggle to achieve a regulated unity of self. Two categories need to be distinguished: (a) feminine figures and (b) the interior paramour. Their protean capability makes scrupulous demarcations between exterior feminine figures impossible, but three forms or combinations prevail: the summer maiden (Kore or lover), the universal mother or earth mother, and the maiden-mother (an overlapping maid and mother figure). The interior paramour represents a climax to the poet-hero's experience with exterior feminine figures."
