From the Paper
"In this fast developing world, the Internet has become a necessary part of life and has found its way to almost every house on earth. ?According to the many who predict the future, we will sit at computers to work, play, shop, socialize and more? (Deborah, 42). The Internet is a useful tool in all kinds of fields ranging far beyond research and development. Most people use the Internet on a daily basis to fulfill their basic everyday needs. According to a survey conducted in the University of Texas, 73% of the students use the Internet at least once a week and the average student spends about 8 hours a week (www.utexas.edu). However, many students use the Internet more than they are supposed to and are addicted to it. Due to the increased use and dependency on the Internet, many people ignore important personal responsibilities. This has severe effects on their social and mental life. The Internet is an outstanding technological development for the people who make proper use of it, but sometimes it ends up being a problem."

Internet users can do practically anything online that they can do offline, increasing the attractiveness of this communication medium. There are over six million sites on the World Wide Web, with sixty-four million adult regular internet users. These numbers grow by the hundreds daily. Naturally, an enormous economic market has developed on this information superhighway."

Community Relationships and the Internet, 2008.

Abstract
This paper explores the growth of the Internet as a means of mass communication. The paper notes that, as the Internet has developed over the years, more services have been added and users can access huge amounts of information. The author also describes the concerns that are emerging today as to its potential to reduce social interaction and isolate users from the community.
From the Paper
"From the beginning of the Internet as a means of mass communication, critics have seen this development as having the potential to reduce social interaction and isolate users from the community. As more and more types of service are added to the Internet, these concerns have only increased. However, at the same time, the Internet has developed its own sense of community, though certainly this is a community with minimal personal interaction, leaving open the question of how damaging a shift from a face-to-face community to an online community may be.
"Kraut (1998), a professor of social psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, conducted a study and found that the Internet was dangerous to one's social and psychological well being (Plotnikoff, 2001, paras. 1-11)). Tranvik (2001) addresses a the key question when he asks about the new technologies, "will they cause unimaginable levels of social isolation, or will they bring a new society with a friendlier face" (Tranvik, 2001, para. 1). The fear has been that they will bring more isolation, though many users believe they interact more with others online than they do in life. Cyberspace most certainly does constitute a new community to which virtually anyone may belong, and how helpful or harmful this may be will be clear in time."

Internet Addiction, 2007.
An analysis of the effects of Internet addiction disorder on an individual.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the detrimental effects of Internet use, specifically Internet addiction disorder (IAD). The paper suggests that there are many forms of addiction that may not only be physically detrimental, but can also lead to changes in behavior which in turn can negatively affect the individual's social life and normal functioning. The paper reviews literature that discusses this issue.
From the Paper
"The first step in combating and hopefully curing IAD is, according to the Doctor Ivan Goldberg, to recognize that one is addicted. Becoming aware of patterns of Internet overuse is therefore crucial. "A key signal to this would be time spent at the computer, but also time spent thinking about the Internet or in activities related to the Internet." (Ferris J. R.) The next step, according to Goldberg, is to search for related and underlying problems that may be the primary or secondary cause of the addiction - for example the need for escape from some unpleasant situation or problem. Thirdly, the addict should "... devise and act out a plan to work through the problem, rather than escape it." (Ferris J. R )"

Married Relationships in Literature, 2005.
A look at how both Kate Chopin's story, "The Story of an Hour" and James Joyce's story, "The Dead", reflect on married relationships and how these relationships often do not live up to expectations.
795 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 28.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper describes the main characters in both stories and explains how these characters and the both stories' theme of death reflect the dull, lifeless state of most marriages. The paper points out that while Chopin and Joyce may have approached the subject of married relationships differently, in the final analysis, both authors end up with a telling commentary on how individual personalities and the drudgery of daily life result in a deadening of marital relationships and the individual spirit.
From the Paper
"Marriage is commonly defined as an intimate union of a man and woman, involving a special kind of love and commitment that facilitates a harmonious relationship and family life. Too often, however, the reality of marriage proves to be far removed from the idealized images projected by society and religion since individual personalities and the drudgery of daily living lead to a deadening of relationships. Indeed, this is precisely the revelation that both Kate Chopin and James Joyce make in The Story of an Hour and The Dead although the two authors approach the subject of married relationships from rather different perspectives. Both Chopin's Mrs. Mallard and Joyce's Gabriel are depicted as awakening to the true state of their respective marriages. The difference, however, between the two protagonists is that while Mrs. Mallard awakens to her need for liberation, Gabriel regrets the lack of passion in his dull existence with his wife."

Abstract
This paper explains how the Information Highway will affect the society in a manner that cannot yet be imagined and instead of a means of uniting the world the author feels that the technological revolution is creating a divide within society furthering social stratification and changing the dynamics of interpersonal relationships.
From the paper:
"As the communications revolution reaches its climax the society is increasingly becoming virtual. Millions of Internet users are logging one every day and interacting with each other over the Internet. Where once socialization was limited within borders today, the society is increasingly becoming borderless as the Internet creates a global world. Chat systems like MSN and AOL Messenger, ICQ and MIRC have captured the people?s imagination and no longer is there a need to have personal face-to-face meetings. The interactive software?s allow a user to have web conferences, meetings and chat with more than one person at a time. Society is becoming impersonal as concepts like 'cyber love' and 'cyber world' emerge. "

The paper focuses on same-sex relationships in Western history and discusses public perceptions of such relationships, looks at the role that the Gay and Lesbian movement has had in influencing public perception, discusses some of the conflicts seen between old and new gay groups. and discusses the harassment that gays and lesbians are often subjected to. The paper also looks at the move to legalize same-sex marriages and the issue of AIDS.
From the Paper
"Over the last five decades the gay and lesbian movement has been instrumental in reshaping public perceptions towards same-sex relationships in the US. Essentially, it is impossible to study public perceptions towards same-sex relationships without considering the role of the gay and lesbian movement. For gay and lesbian individuals this movement has enabled individuals who had previously been ostracized and stigmatized from mainstream social networks to carve a niche and feel a sense of belonging in alternative communities. Even more significantly the gay and lesbian movement..."

Outline:
Introduction
Review and Discussion.
Background and Overview
Influences on Hispanic Relationships in the U.S.
Current and Future Trends
Conclusion.
From the Paper
"While the reasons for emigration vary from individual to individual, citizens of many Latin American nations have considered the United States as a destination of choice over the past decades. There were profound and compelling reasons for many Hispanics wanting to leave their home countries; in the past 100 years or so, violent revolutions have affected the political framework of several countries (including Mexico, Bolivia, Cuba, and Nicaragua). In the 20th century, Cuba became a Communist state under Fidel Castro, while the Nicaraguan Revolution brought the Marxist-oriented Sandinistas to power. Peru, Bolivia, and Chile also tried a local Latin American version of socialism with little success (Cockcroft 1998). However, once they arrived in the U.S., such relative newcomers, many lacking in basic literacy skills in either English or Spanish, were assumed to be still caught up in the immigrant syndrome, or worse, to be languishing in what Oscar Lewis termed the "culture of poverty" (1965).

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the dangers of dual relationships within the mental health field. The writer maintains that counselors and therapists should avoid establishing or allowing the establishment of dual relationships within the context of their professional capacity. The writer concludes that this is not only an ethical imperative with respect to the client/patient continuum but also extends to dual relationships among patients in group therapy settings as well as relationships between coworkers and colleagues.
Outline:
Abstract
Introduction
Dual Relationships in Group Therapy
The Counselor/Client Continuum
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Clearly, these negative developments that arise due to the existence or the establishment of dual relationships can have a very real and a potentially very harmful impact on the counseling process within the group therapy setting. Yet, all of these negative attributes can just as easily develop within the dual relationship context in the single-patient counseling environment or in the back office relationships that arise within the clinic or treatment facility setting. In all instances, the effectiveness and the objective of the counseling process is undermined and made almost irrelevant due to the dual relationships allowed to develop."

Abstract
This report deals with the subject of ethical relationships between
administrators and physicians in the healthcare setting and also looks at issues of ethics in general in the hospital setting. Specifically, this report looks at current problems in administrative ethics and also seeks to portray possible solutions to these problems which center around everyday ethics and codified structures of ethics and education, while also making recommendations for future research. One ethical problem that is examined is confidentiality; another is inter-professional relationships. All administrative ethical questions are referenced back to the main motivation of the healthcare staff of both administrators and physicians: doing what is for the good of the patient or client. The report examines issues of integrity, policy, practice, ethical codes, and the relationship between client and caregiver, while examining the changing roles of physicians and administrators in reference to the client's needs.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Confidentiality and Integrity
Ethical Policy and Practice
Relationships between Professionals
Relationship to Patients
Proposed Solutions
Future Research
Conclusion
Bibliography
From the Paper
"Professional relationships, in contrast, are not relationships between professionals and clients, but relationships between two or more professionals. These relationships are also covered in various ways by the various codes discussed including IECs. Although dual relationships are possible within this context, there is more of a sense of responsibility in maintaining a helping environment among co-existing professionals who respect each other and are not exploitative in their positions within hierarchical relationships."

Abstract
This paper examines the theme of human relationships in the novel "O Pioneers!" by Willa Cather. The paper contends that human relationships are at the heart of the novel, but at the same time, those relationships are shaped and colored by the vital relationship with the land, as an inheritance and a way of life. The paper also maintains that family is a central theme connected to the land, with the character of Alexandra the focus for the family, just as the land becomes her focus as a substitute for her father. The paper argues that, although much of the novel seems pessimistic about human relationships, ultimately the novel's protagonist, Alexandra, as an embodiment of the land, shows how the struggle for the land would one day lead to an accommodation between human beings and the land.
From the Paper
"Cather seems to doubt the possibility for human beings to form meaningful and lasting relationships, and in the novel, those who try fail or even die before achieving what they seem to want. There are a number of unhappy marriages in the novel, including that of the woman Emil loves, a relationship that ends tragically for all. The one love that persists is love for the land, though that is also a love that is sorely tested again and again by weather, drought, storms, and other hardships faced by the pioneers, who either last through the crisis of fail and turn back. The novel celebrates the pioneer in America and the way the pioneer went to work and shaped the land, but what the pioneer did was also decided by the needs and wants of the land itself. In the end, the hard realities of pioneer life were anything but romantic, and the lives of the characters in this novel shows how they would often act impetuously and then suffer the consequences as far as human relationships were concerned."
