Abstract
This paper explains that, when used in conjunction with technology, the word 'jargon' refers to words, which describe things or ideas specific unfamiliar and often nonsensical to the layperson. The author points out that jargon is not always bad because no pre-existing word sufficient to talk about the new thing or idea and new inventions or developments must be described; much like slang words. These jargon words can be gradually assimilated by non-specialists until they no longer seem like jargon. The paper relates that, if a specialist uses jargon to obscure the meaning of an object or concept that would in different words be easily understandable to the majority of people, then jargon can be unethical as often happens in marketing especially advertising of high-tech products.
From the Paper
"The result is an advertising department's paradise. Over the past fifty years or so, the layperson has seen technology get better and more complex at a startling rate. It is the judgment that more complex technology is better that is crucial here. The notion that complexity increases with quality leads to a concept of technology which almost ensures that the less a consumer understands about a high-tech product, the more likely he will be to purchase the product."

From the Paper
"Even if Toronto's bio-tech sector is still relatively fledgling compared to its U.S. counterparts, the city is quickly developing an enviable reputation. For one thing, the well-regarded University of Toronto - the school with which Affinium Pharmaceuticals has such a strong relationship - has more than 16,000 researchers on its campus and at affiliated teaching hospitals. Further, the Samuel Lunefeld Research Institute, the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children, the Ontario Cancer Institute and the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry are all held in high esteem as research "hot beds" and employ literally thousands (Biotechnology Ontario, "Toronto: Profile," para.1-5)."

Abstract
This paper explains that the hypothesis being tested in the paper is whether national coverage of the Virginia Tech shootings differed in the practices of journalism ethics when compared to international media coverage. The author describes the use of a statistical modeling analysis called content analysis to identify trends. The paper concludes that, from the content analysis of articles and media presentations on the Virginia Tech Shootings, the national coverage seemed to violate most of the journalism ethics principles; whereas, the international media was more consistent with ethical principles across the content. The paper concludes the content analysis is an appropriate method to analyze this case.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Using Content Analysis to Identify Trends
Journalism Ethics
Validity and Robustness of the Model - Is content analysis a suitable methodology for analyzing the VIRGINA TECH media coverage?
From the Paper
"This is a social issue and has an audience across a wide cross-section of society. The general attitudes towards the Virginia Tech shootings differed across the world, since many argue that the focus on the national news was on the perpetrator Seung-Hui Cho and his personal responsibility for the massacre as an individual with a psychological disorder. However, the international media more so focused on the United States gun laws and how easy it was for a mentally unstable citizen to access weapons that later laid to the death of thirty-two individuals at the University campus."

Abstract
This paper studies the origins of military jargon and measures the influence of military jargon and slang on the English language. It shows how the conquesting armies of the colonial British government adopted many phrases, words and slang which have made their way into everyday spoken English. It compares how British soldiers and American soldiers, when interacting in the World Wars, transfered military slang between each other.
From the Paper
"The English language has been going through the evolution process for hundreds of years. A number of words that were not recognized a few hundred years back are now commonly used. English has been continuously changing for centuries because of several reasons. Influence of other societies and cultures on English is the primary reason for this continuous change. Moreover, several military adventures conducted by the British Empire, which led to the expansion of the United Kingdom to almost one fourth of the earth?s surface, also significantly influenced the English language. During these military operations, several English soldiers were exposed to some new cultures and societies. As a result of the influence from other cultures, they started using jargons and slang in their conversation, which were primarily adopted from several foreign languages. Similarly, American soldiers also adopted some jargons and slang during the Wars fought by American Army. "

High Tech Bubble of Market Efficiency, 2005.
This paper presents the view that the high-tech-bubble of the late 1990s was merely a normal market correction.

Abstract
The paper discusses how some enterprising economists have made the argument that the infamous tech-bubble of the late 1990s and first part of 2000 could actually be interpreted as an expression of an efficient market merely correcting itself. The paper explains that this concept is also expressed as a rational bubble as opposed to an irrational bubble, to make the argument that, in effect, the high-tech stock meltdown beginning in April of 2000 was only a normal market correction in an, admittedly, over-heated market.

Abstract
This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the trend to outsource programming jobs to India. It looks at how this move affects both the American and Indian economies and how this also affects their work ethics.
From the Paper
"According to global research agency Gartner Inc, one out of every ten jobs in American software industry by the end of 2004 will completely move to low-cost emerging markets like India, China, Russia since United States companies have moved to cut costs. However, till now India has captured the major proportion of white-collar jobs exported from the U.S. and has proved to be the leading gainer amongst all other developing countries (Jeff). A media report highlighted by the global research has estimated that approximately even 500,000 white-collar American jobs already have found their way offshore to the countries like China, Philippines and Malaysia; yet none has been able to capture more American jobs than India (Jeff)."

From the Paper
"While JIT relationships are good for customers, they place the burden of carrying the customer inventory on the suppliers. In order to internally accommodate JIT, Hitech will need to carry more inventory as well as become much more adept at understanding the true supply needs of their customers?something they do not seem to do very well at present. In order to do this effectively, Hitech will need to develop a very solid demand assessment and planning function within their Manufacturing Department. Therefore, implementing such a solid demand assessment and planning function will require Hitech to very accurately forecast production based upon what they perceive to be the future customer demand (based on understanding the customer?s needs, not upon the whims of the Engineering Department)."

It examines the trend of remote health care, the flood of medical information available on the net and the possible pooling of resources now available through the internet.
From the Paper
"Telemedicine, a new emerging form of healthcare service, is being provided in this age of multimedia and technological advances. Telemedicine enables the provision of healthcare services by experts in any field of medicine via the primary care provider to patients in remote regions of the world or those without access to advanced medical facilities.
"The Internet is used in telemedicine for the transmission of data in the form of text, sound, digital imaging and video-conferencing to primary care providers who then dispense medical advice and recommendations to the patient. In France, a pilot project undertaken by the Assistance Publique - H?pitaux de Paris (Tabet & Angehrn, 1997) for neuro-surgical emergencies revealed telemedicine as promising both for clinical and research purposes."

Abstract
Dark science has invaded sexuality in pursuit of satisfying the sinister ends of its amoral political patrons. Today phenomena like pregnant men and baby factories no longer sound so absurd. In this paper, the author examines the effects of such advancements on society and the world in general.
From the Paper
"The scientific techniques of the 21st century are certain to change the traditional views and practices of sexuality and reproduction forever. But questions beg to be asked: Are the developments rooted in such techniques positive steps in our global society? Has science and technology been given the adequate ethical and moral oversight necessary to insure a reasonable measure of public safety? At present the answer is a depressing negative."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper's proposal describes a research paper that will examine Toronto's burgeoning hi-tech and bio-tech industries; where they are located, what they look like and where they rank internationally. The paper relates that the research will focus on Affinium Pharmaceuticals in addition to other companies. The paper explains that the research should bring an appreciation for how Toronto is making a name for itself in the bio-technology sector; a sector once felt to be chiefly the preserve of U.S. centers.
Outline:
Introduction
The What (and What They Look Like)
The Where
International Status
Methodology
From the Paper
"With a broad understanding of just what it is that different Toronto organizations do, the end research paper will explore the location of these companies. A quick perusal of one useful online map indicates that many of these organizations are indeed densely packed around the U of T (Biotechnology Ontario, "Toronto City Map", illus.1). At the same time, the fact those same organizations/companies are clustered in close proximity to the downtown financial core suggests they have wisely resolved to be as near as possible to the major financial houses and banks in the event that investment capital and loans can be secured. The final research paper will obviously spend some time looking at what enticements have compelled these various bio-tech competitors to "cram" themselves into the same small patch of real estate."

Abstract
This paper explains that, while research indicates there is a belief that Adidas makes better footwear than Nike, Adidas has been unsuccessful in penetrating the young hip-hop crowd that has grown up with i-pods, blogs and video games. The author stresses that Adidas is looking to appeal to this younger generation through the technology that they have become used to using. The paper relates that, with this focus on technological innovation, Adidas is going high tech with everything from high tech sneakers, high tech virtual stores and high tech promotions. The author states that this high tech strategy is moving into its internal operations departments, adopting a better delivery system, increasing retail distribution and taking customer service to a new level beyond satisfaction to delight. The paper relates that this plan is trying to obtain return and possibly lifetime customers, which would be very profitable for the company.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
The Product
Promotion
Pricing
Place
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Adidas is looking at the changing interests of the up and coming market who also have i-pods, video games, email, internet, youtube and other highly technological devises as a way of life rather than traditional television or print media. With this change in media delivery, there's also a change from it being one way to two-way communication, and with rapid advances in technology, they expect new and different things, and new and different footwear and sportswear is a way to reach that market."
