Abstract
This paper describes the new home framing process in step order, with explanations of materials and their advantages and disadvantages. The paper looks at building codes and construction sequence. The paper looks at framing as the critical component in house construction.
From the Paper
"One of the first decisions to make when starting a new home framing project is what materials to use. Wood framing is standard on many homes, but to ensure that walls will be straight where cabinets will hang, it is necessary to avoid using rapid-growth light spring wood. Although the rapid growth makes it faster and cheaper to produce, it can cause the lumber to twist and bow when it dries out, causing walls to become wavy. These wavy walls can cause a variety..."

Media Framing of the Gay, 2006.
A discussion regarding the role of the media in framing the homosexual movement.

Abstract
This assignment discusses the media framing of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer and transgender movement based on 10 source articles. The paper then analyzes the content demonstrating that there is essentially negative and positive framing.
From the Paper
"Individuals with different sexual orientations or different sexual identities have often experienced discrimination and persecution in Western societies. For example, in 'Ideas for Action' Cynthia Kaufman states, Given the widespread and established nature of homophobia, it is not surprising that the most important demand for most gays and lesbians is simply for the right to love whomever they please (Kaufman 178). There is some evidence that the gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer and transgender movement has become very successful at reducing homophobia and increasing acceptance of different sexual orientation or different sexual identities.

"Suggested Student Assessment. Because the media framing analysis is a highly subjective process, students will be requested to defend their respective positions on a given news account in the form of an essay that will be assessed on the basis of how well it takes into account the various media framing structural dimensions in supporting its position."
"Extending the Lesson. When students identify an issue that is particularly interesting to them, they would refine and extend its concepts through a WebQuest approach that uses a free Web site account. WebQuests have become increasingly popular in recent years for this purpose, and these become a "work in progress" that students continue to contribute to as additional research is completed and more news accounts become available."

News Framing: The Sino-U.S. Spy Plane Collision, 2005.
A comparison of the "New York Times" and the "People's Daily" coverage of the Sino-U.S. spy plane collision of April 1, 2001.

Abstract
On April 1, 2001, what began as a minor training exercise turned into a post-Cold War confrontation between two of the world's nuclear powers. On this date, a collision of a U.S. spy plane and a Chinese fighter jet resulted in a tense - but not hostile - political confrontation between the two nations. This paper examines how although the actual details of the spy plane collision in April 2001 differed substantially in their respective accounts in the Chinese and U.S. media, these differences were not so important to many observers as how important the role they played in shaping public opinion as the events unfolded. It provides a side-by-side comparison of the accounts from China and the U.S. to show how the "New York Times" and the "People's Daily" seem to be covering two completely separate incidents. It also defines and discusses the media framing functions that were categorized into three dimensions: visual framing, contextual framing and operational framing.

From the Paper
"From a subjective perspective, one can almost envision the Chinese leadership hunkered down in the Forbidden City formulating a cogent but forceful response to the spy plane incident that would show the world that they still meant business militarily, but one which would not go so far as to jeopardize what was really important: the American markets. However, from an international perspective, the evolution of the Sino-American trade bloc may be thwarted by future recurrences of this level of hostility, and in the post-Cold War globe, former allies may become potential enemies.

From the Paper
"To say the least, there is a great deal of potential within the Home Health Care industry; by the year 2020, there will be approximately 100 million Americans over the age of 50 who will be potential patients of local community home health care providers. Of this 50+-population base, 39% will be elderly, 27% will be wound care patients, 18% will be incontinent and 12% will be urological patients. There is also every indication that these people will seek home care- American patients today are directed to leave the hospital, and nursing homes "quicker and sicker" due to managed care. Many of these patients are sent home to recuperate with the support of a home health care provider (Evan, 2005). Another key consideration in the potential of this industry is the fact that many more people are living well past the age of 100, and the great majority of these people will be potential home health patients (Brown, 1998)."

Abstract
The paper relates that an increasing number of commercial and residential structures are using steel frame construction techniques due to their many advantages. The paper explains that because resources are by definition scarce, it is important to recognize when and where steel frame construction is an appropriate choice. The paper therefore examines the contemporary applications, properties, strengths and limitations of steel frame construction techniques.

From the Paper
"An increasing number of commercial and residential structures are using steel frame construction techniques today. The increased popularity of this building technique has grown from its early beginnings in Chicago a century and a half ago to become the building method of choice for many urban settings today. This increased use is directly attributable to a number of key advantages that steel frame construction has been shown to have over other construction techniques. For example, according to Fanjoy (2006), "While a versatile building material, lumber can pose a number of challenges to builders and remodelers: sudden and sizeable fluctuations in price, for example, or rot and dimensional instability due to exposure to moisture, either at the building site or after installation. But there is an alternative: steel framing" (3)."

The Narrative Frame of Nabokov's "Lolita", 2007.
This paper considers Vladimir Nabokov's novel "Lolita" as a framed narrative.
1,303 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the use of the literary device, framed narrative, in Nabokov's "Lolita." First, the paper defines the term framed narrative. It then suggests that this device was used in "Lolita" because of the novel's controversial content. Finally, the author suggests that Nabokov may have used framed narrative to protect himself, and possibly his position as a tenured professor.
From the Paper
"As for Nabokov's note at the end, called "On a Book Entitled Lolita" (pp. 313-319), Lolita's true author ("Foreword" included), Vladimir Nabokov, comes clean immediately, in the first line of this "afterward" note to the reader, about his "impersonation of suave John Ray" (Nabokov, Lolita, p. 313). Nabokov then tells us in detail about both the genesis of, and the creative processes that went into his writing of Lolita, assuring us along the way that (1) the original idea for Lolita was a very old one, and has in fact seen several metamorphoses, on two continents, before finally emerging into the public eye, as the book it is today; (2) his urge to write it was solely a literary one (and he has in fact been writing novels, in not one language but two, since 1924), and once the idea finally emerged into the raw form of a novel, he had no creative choice but (like an itch that simply must be scratched) to finish it; (3) that he had initially been reticent to sign his own name to the book; (4) that he is in fact a stably married man, with hobbies, interests, and a routine kind of life ("Every summer my wife and I go butterfly hunting" (p. 314)), and that this particular work, his own artistic creation Lolita, is a work of art, not pornography (". . . in pornographic novels, action has to be limited to the copulation of cliches", p. 315)"

Stepping Outside the Frame, 2002.
This essay shows how Joseph Conrad?s 'Heart of Darkness' and Tadeusz Borowski?s 'This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen' demonstrate that it is not easy for human beings to step outside the moral structure, or frame of their societies.

Abstract
Joseph Conrad and Tadeusz Borowski, writers of different styles and different periods are seen within an image created by a third writer, Sven Lindquist, of a man walking down the street carrying a frame from which only his head and feet protrude. These men write about what might be called the "darkness" within the heart of the human experience. This essay discusses how in dire circumstances, such as those encountered in Buchenwald and imperial Africa, each human who steps outside the frame of his normal world, according to both Conrad and Borowski, risks stepping into the heart of darkness.
From the Paper
"Sven Lindqvist?s words about the man carrying the frame in Exterminate All the Brutes provide an excellent backdrop within which to compare the narrative frameworks and content of Conrad?s Heart of Darkness and Borowski?s This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen. What is striking in this comparison is how two writers of vastly different styles, consider diverse historical periods and come to the same conclusion: It is not easy for human beings to step outside the frame, or moral structure, of their societies, into a lawless situation."

Change in Canadian Home Care, 2006.
This paper explores change and conserving at the organizational level and change and persistence at the individual level.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 3 sources, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how change can take place on several levels at once and exhibit the same characteristics at each level. The type of change that this paper addresses involves change and conserving at the organizational level and change and persistence at the individual level. The change is related to the new focus on home care in Canada. Furthermore, the paper explains that while persistence and conserving normally are regarded as hindrances to growth (Bolman & Deal, 2003; Pilkington, 2000), it is not certain that such is the case for this situation. The paper points out that this is also a situation where re-framing is needed at all levels to demonstrate that a successful outcome is possible when such a change is carefully planned and resources and support are made available.

Reporting the Sino-U.S. Spy Plane Collision.
This paper compares the news framing by the "New York Times" and the "People's Daily" coverage of the Sino-US spy plane collision in 2001.

Abstract
This paper explains that, on April 1, 2001, what began as a minor training exercise turned into a post-Cold War confrontation between two of the world's nuclear powers. A collision of a U.S. spy plane and a Chinese fighter jet resulted in a tense, but not hostile, political confrontation between the two nations. The author points out that the media accounts in the United States and China are both shaped by the same type of gatekeeping processes, which underlie all editorial decisions concerning what events should be reported to the public and how they should be presented; however, a fundamental difference exists between the two countries concerning the relative freedoms of the respective media in covering these events, particularly for international consumption. The paper reviews many hypotheses based on the news framing by the "New York Times" and the "People's Daily" and concludes that future historians should incorporate comparable analyses of identical news events from various media to determine the extent to which such inherent ethnocentrism has impacted these reports.

From the Paper
"From the perspective of the Bush administration, this diplomatic standoff with a newly defined "strategic competitor" provided a crucial test to his ability and experience in handling foreign affairs; these attributes in particular had been under increasing criticism in the months from April 2001. The results of how Bush handled this international incident could shape the domestic public opinion and worldview after the election controversy that had immediately preceded it. From China's perspective, even before this tragic incident, the Chinese people and its leaders had already been on the receiving end of hostile rhetoric from the newly elected Bush; this served to remind the Chinese people and their leadership about the embassy bombing in Yugoslavia just twoyears previously; moreover, such a direct military conflict between two nuclear powers has not taken place since the end of the Cold War."

Sex Has Been Gender All Along, 2007.
An examination of the re-framing of the concepts "sex" and "gender".
1,686 words (approx. 6.7 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 54.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper re-frames the concepts of "sex" and "gender". In this paper the term "sex" refers primarily to biological traits, while the term "gender" refers to the behaviors associated with a particular biological sex, rather than merely the biological sex itself. The paper shows that the existentialist Simone de Beauvoir was one of the trailblazers who opened up this field, while Judith Butler completely re-framed the concepts of "sex" and "gender." The paper then points out that Butler's re-framing moved the spotlight from a subject self with a biological sex/gender, to a performance of gender. The paper also looks at how this re-framing of "sex" and "gender" has had the consequence of freeing gender expression from previous restrictions - at least theoretically. The writer concludes that no gender positions are natural, or entirely dictated by biology. Rather, they are all constructed.
From the Paper
"Up until around the middle of the 20th century, it was almost universally believed that gender is assigned by biology, so that maleness inevitably implies masculinity, and femaleness inevitably implies femininity. It was also widely assumed that all infants are born clearly and indisputably either one sex or the other, and that once they reach sexual maturity they will inevitably and universally wish to choose a sexual partner of the opposite sex. This group of assumptions is sometimes referred to as biological essentialism (Butler; Fausto-Sterling, Sexing the Body; Salih)."

Abstract
The paper explores whether the use of logical framework during the project cycle in developing countries is because of its intrinsic value or merely because it is a donor requirement. Concerned with the importance, exploitation and launch of the concept of logical framework analysis (LFA), the paper highlights some of the important structural features involved in framing an efficient LFA. The paper discusses some of the essential conditions needed by the LFA and their employees in connection with the project planning matrix. Finally, the paper shows the value and important uses of the logical framework.

Objectives
Background of Logical Framework
Stages in Logical Framework
Situation Analysis
Strategy Analysis
Project Planning Matrix (PPM)
Implementation
Problems in the Development of LF
Benefits of Utilizing Logical Framework System
Problems With the Logical Framework System
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Logical Framework (LF) was first established by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to act as a helping tool in the creating, structuring, development and administration of its solitary or joint national/global ventures (Coleman, 1987, p. 251). Its importance lies in its ability to chain and categorize a variety of logical methods and circumstances that could be a result of any plan before its initiation. Due to his efficient feature, LF has been used regularly by organizations all over in tailored outlines (Pfenning and Schurmann, 1999)."

Film: "12 Angry Men", 2007.
This paper analyzes the film "12 Angry Men" by applying Lee Bolman and Terrance Deal's four frames theory.
5,345 words (approx. 21.4 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 132.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the application of Bolman and Deal's theory of frames to the analysis of "12 Angry Men" reveals that frames could be used to understand group dynamics and help re-shape group dynamics. The paper also asserts that frames could not only be used to change group interactions, but could also help achieve different outcomes, without requiring changes in personnel or available resources. The author points out that one of the more interesting aspects of the movie is that it demonstrates an interrelationship between the personal frames of leaders and the political frame of this jury. The paper relates that a crucial part of frame analysis, which is that people do not always understand their own frames of reference, is shown in "12 Angry Men".
From the Paper
"The third frame in Bolman & Deal's four-frame model is the political frame. Bolman and Deal compare the political frame to the jungle. The political frame's core concepts are power, conflict, competition, organizational politics. The leaders in political frames are seen as advocates and they bring power or the perception of power to the frame. The organizational ethic in the political frame is justice. Juror number three in "12 Angry Men" is a great example of a person working from within the political frame."

The Media and Inequality, 2007.
A discussion on the role of the media in framing interpretations of inequality in Australia.
2,060 words (approx. 8.2 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 64.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how media plays a major role in framing the interpretations of inequality in Australia. It looks at how it can help to both minimise inequality in a society and maximize it. It discusses how, whether it be through television, radio, the internet or music - the media is no doubt an influential powerhouse when it comes to molding a society's attitudes and beliefs about various groups and individuals.
From the Paper
"The internet has had a profound effect on inequality in Australia. It has made it much easier for those who are discriminated against, or segregated to come together. The internet has been 'involved in reconstructing our culture' (Beilharz, 2002: p266). It has reconstructed it by allowing for subcultures to exist in an almost parallel world, co-existing with the real world. Bonds between people thrive in virtual communities and various online organisations. It can assist those with particular interests (such as the television shows Star trek or X-files) to keep in contact with each other and to efficiently organize functions and parties in various cities around the world. Similarly individuals who feel they do not fit in to their society, or are being discriminated against can find others who feel exactly like they do and may be going through similar hardships."
