Abstract
This paper explains how Frege's book is an influential and valuable insight into the philosophy of mathematics. It shows how Frege delves deeply into, not only an understanding of numbers, but also looks into much larger questions surrounding meaning and truth. Frege argues against the idea that arithmetic is based on psychology and, instead, notes that logic is the main underpinning of arithmetic.
From the Paper
"Friedrich Ludwig Gottlob Frege was born in Germany in 1848. He got his doctoral degree in G?ttingen, and quickly wrote his post-doctoral thesis, and became a university professor. During his long and fruitful academic career, the tireless Frege worked extensively to build up the philosophical foundations of mathematics and science. Among his important contributions is the invention of an artificial language called Begriffsschrift, which was based on logical notation (Frege Biography). Frege wrote extensively, publishing a number of other influential papers during his lengthy career, including Grundgesetze der Arithmetik, Volume I (1893), Logic (1897), Sources of Knowledge of Mathematics and the Mathematical Natural Sciences (1924/5), A Brief Survey of my Logical Doctrines (1906), and Thought (1918) (Frege Biography)."

Abstract
In Chapter 4 the author explains that the use of drugs to treat psychological conditions has a risk-reward ratio that must be carefully monitored by serious practitioners with a view toward ongoing research.
Chapter 8 defines sleep as a physiological behavior, which is directly the converse of physiological behavior that involves active movement. Chapter 15 is a discussion of schizophrenia which is divided into a definition and description of typical symptoms, including the issue of inherited tendency toward the disorder, an extended discussion of brain-research-based drugs and monoamine (dopamine) intervention for alleviation of disorder symptoms, and the evidence of neural processes of schizophrenia that position it as a neurological disorder.

Abstract
This paper discusses Betty Neuman and her theory regarding nursing. In order to do this, the paper uses a nursing metaparadigm. The paper then uses the information regarding Betty Neuman to show the differences and similarities in what Neuman believes, versus what the student believes regarding the four different issues addressed within the nursing metaparadigm. The paper explains that these four issues are person, environment, health and nursing.
Outline:
Introduction
Purpose of the Paper
Identification of Theory
The Theory
Theory and Nursing's Metaparadigm
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Neuman sees the health of an individual as being equated with his or her wellness. Neuman also defines health/wellness as "the condition in which all parts and subparts (variables) are in harmony with the whole of the client" (Neuman, 1995). As a person is seen to be in a constant interaction with his or her environment, the state of wellness that the person achieves (and by implication any other state) is in a pattern of dynamic equilibrium, rather than being in any type of steady state. There is, therefore, a continuum of wellness and the position that he person is at on that continuum is influenced by the way that the person interacts with the stressors and variables that they deal with (Neuman, 1989a; Neuman & Young, 1972)."

Foundations of War, 2006.
An analysis of the causes and effects of WWI, WWII and the Cold War.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 6 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper maintains that historical evidence confirms that, just as the First World War laid the foundations for the Second World War, the Second World War laid the foundations for the Cold War. The paper looks at how, in both cases, war failed to resolve the fundamental problems that had led to military conflict in the first place, and initiated a chain of cause and effect that led to renewed conflict. The Second World War has been justifiably defined as a continuation of the First World War after a brief period of fragile peace, and the Cold War can be justifiably defined as a seventy-year war between East and West that was briefly interrupted by a grudging, temporary alliance during the Second World War.

Foundations of Strength, 2001.
This paper examines spirituality and religious beliefs in Leslie Silko's "Ceremony".
1,145 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 3 sources, $ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents a look at the religious foundations in Leslie Silko?s book, "Ceremony". The author uses "The Sacred Quest" by Lawrence Cunningham and the film "Ishi: The Last Yahi" to support the argument for the religious foundation in Ceremony. The paper provides an in-depth analysis of "Ceremony's" main character, Tayo.
From the Paper
"As we go through life we draw our strength from different sources. Many people draw their strength from their religious beliefs and they are not even aware they are doing it. As they travel they tend to get away from the things they were taught as children and for a while they may seem lost and confused spiritually. After awhile though, most people come back to their spiritual roots and draw strength from them in time of need. The book Ceremony by Leslie Silko is a story that is founded in religious strength. It appears to be a side bar until one really begins to analyze the story and understand the meaning within the words. Once that is accomplished the spiritual strength of the story characters cannot be denied. The religious foundation of Ceremony is a study in strength from within and deeply imbedded."

Socio and Cultural Foundations of Religion, 2006.

Abstract
The paper discusses how religion is an important consideration in the counseling profession, in part because many people's religious beliefs provide the foundation and structure for their organizing schemata. The paper further explains that religious beliefs may figure into a client's views and difficulties as well as their perceptions for possible transformation or solutions to their problems. The paper proposes that since religious believers are considered to be a majority in contemporary society, counselors should adopt an approach that considers religious preferences. The paper examines how psychotherapists, operating from a more secular perspective, can create difficulties when the therapist attempts to establish trust and understanding with the client. The paper explores the varying obstacles that counselors face when working with people of different religious cultures and beliefs, as well as recommending strategies for improving the counseling relationship in these circumstances.

Introduction
Techniques and Obstacles When Counseling Members of Religious Faiths
Difficulty Working With Specific Religious Subgroups
Conclusions/Recommendations
From the Paper
"Ellis, Johnson & Nielsen (2001) suggest that the rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) approach is "uniquely and exceptionally well suited to treating problems and concerns of religious clients" (p. 3). The technique allows counseling in an environment that does not conflict with many religious traditions and therefore is often used successfully to accommodate varying religious beliefs even when "client and therapist have different religious orientations" or when a religious client is treated by an "atheistic therapist" (Ellis, Johnson & Nielsen, 2001: 3)."

"Introduction
Nonprofit organizations exist in many different forms and for many different reasons, with some organizations serving only a small area in an urban setting while other organizations have a national, or even international, presence. Charities and foundations can be set up for research purposes, in order to provide direct financial assistance, or to provide some type of service to clients. Among the more popular types of nonprofit organizations are foundations, which typically have an endowment that is used to generate income for specific activities. Foundations are often formed to focus on a particular disease or group of diseases; this is the case with the Hemophilia Foundation of Michigan as well as the Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan. This research examines both of these organizations, including .."

A member should be a good citizen of their community, they should take standards against the evil, believe in equal rights and justice for all, agree with the democratic system, affirm the right to serve and bear arms in the National Armed Forces, have the right to refuse to bear arms, advocate abstinence by all people from using tobacco, drugs, and alcohol, attain form gambling, eliminate pornography, be occult, and have decision-making foundations (Getting acquainted with the Church of the United Brethren pg. 50-55)."

From the Paper
"There are two central elements to Christianity that are fundamental to the religion. The first is the resurrection story, which is similar to many other myths of death and rebirth, and the second is the assertion that Jesus was both fully human and fully divine, which is unique to Christianity. The story of Christianity is the story that tells us about who Christ was and how he changed the relationship between people and their God.
As mentioned above, the death and rebirth of Jesus resembles those portrayed in other mythologies of the ancient ... "

Classical Philosophy Foundations of Vocational Education, 2002.
This paper reviews classical and current philosophy to discover if modern vocational education is fostered by formal education and to discover the ways to establish an equitable system of vocational training.

Abstract
This paper asks the most basic philosophical question concerning vocational education, whether or not it is legitimate to educate with the primary goal of preparing an individual for the workplace. After reviewing the words of several philosophers, the author finds three themes: Vocational education is for an inferior breed of man, education is for the edification of the individual and for the benefit of society and the true goal of education is to develop man?s natural talents, affinities, and inclinations. The paper concludes that the review of philosophy has soundly directed the argument towards framing vocational education as based on both definitions of vocation, a preparation for occupation based entirely on the individual student?s actual calling in life and natural inclinations.
Table of Contents
Introduction
Definitions, Questions, and Problems
Defining the Liberal and/or Civic Education
Vocational Education Defined
The Socio-historical Approach to Vocation
Rephrasing the Question.
The Philosopher?s Approach Education and Vocation
Plato on Education and the Socratic Dialogue

Locke: Stifle Poetry and Educate Paupers
Adam Smith
Jefferson?s Meritocratic Education
Neitzsche: Self-Will, the Overman and Vocational Education
Summary of Issues
From the Paper
"It would be a mistake to suggest, as some have done, that the ancients had no parallel to the modern concept of vocational education. Aristotle, for example, seems quite familiar with the idea of training for technical or practical ability. However, he also suggests an important difference between liberating and vocational education. Aristotle seems to be firmly of the opinion that an education that focuses upon practical abilities is limiting and non-conducive to creating a citizen capable of self-rule. His conception of a two-track educating system suggests that some men are born to be slaves and some men are born to rule and that through education these two ought to be nurtured for their respective roles in life. While all humans could theoretically learn to develop leadership, those who were born as slaves are less likely too and need not be trained to do so."

Foundations of Bilingual Education & Bilingualism ( Colin Baker ), 1996.

From the Paper
"The text entitled Foundations of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism by Colin Baker is a comprehensive look at the theoretical basis of the field of bilingualism, but it falls short of teaching educators practical ways of reaching bilingual students. In that sense, it is not a well rounded introduction to bilingualism for those who find themselves teaching bilingual students.
Ofelia Garcia's foreword notes Baker's psychological and sociological perspectives, and acknowledges that Baker "engages them [educators] in making decisions about appropriate educational approaches and pedagogical approaches" (vii). Baker may engage his readers in a discussion, but he does not offer a sufficient number of practical guidelines with which a teacher could successfully teach bilingual students. Again and again, he.."
