Abstract
The paper compares and contrasts Stuart Hall's essays "The Global and the Local: Globalization and Ethnicity" and "Old and New Identities, Old and New Ethnicities" with Thomas Erikson's "How can the Global be Local? Islam, the West and the Globalization of Identity Politics". The paper argues that while all three essays are written from a left-liberal perspective, the critical difference between the two writers and their theoretical models lies in how radically the challenge of Islam to postmodernity has transformed our understanding of ethnic identity in a globalized context.
From the Paper
"In "The Global and the Local" and "Old and New Identities, Old and New Ethnicities" Stuart Hall argues strongly that the local identities that defined societies up to the 1990s were collapsing under the pressures of globalization and the pre-eminence of multiculturalism. Hall contends that the culture movements of the late 1990s were dominated by the cultural hybridity among the increasingly multicultural populations of the globalized world (Hall "Local and Global" 38-39). In "Old and New Identities, Old and New Ethnicities," Hall expands upon this concept in arguing that what he terms the "great collective social identities" may continue to exist but no longer define who we are - give us the "code of identity" in Hall's words - in the modern world (Hall "Old and New Identities" 45)."

Abstract
This paper discusses West Virginia's framework for 21st century schools. It particularly looks at the importance of leadership skills, such as visionary leadership, relational leadership, systems leadership, reflective leadership and collaborative leadership. It suggests that applying these leadership approaches while implementing West Virginia's framework for 21st century schools is essential if today's educators are to establish classroom environments conducive to effective, goal-oriented learning.
From the Paper
"The culture of 21st Century schools should be based on setting and meeting high standards for staff and students. These high standards can be achieved through staff demonstrating professionalism in their dress, their use of language, and their demeanor, as well as the manner
in which they interact with students and other staff. This process involves defining, supporting, and implementing a collaborative school improvement process "that is data-driven and targets improved results for students," and requires effective leadership from principals, who are responsible for providing learning leadership "by orchestrating activities of the school toward students learning and developing a spirit of unity and trust." (WVDE)"

From the Paper
"Furthermore, the family is the social institution that "continues to provide most care and supportive services to their older members." (Informal Caregiving) Family structures in society are estimated to account for about 80 percent of all elderly care in industrialized societies. (Informal Caregiving) This form of care can include short term care after illness or surgery as well as long term assistance when an elderly person is disabled or ill for long periods of time. The type of essential care that family members provide includes "...direct services (grocery shopping, transportation to doctors), the purchase of services (housecleaning, nursing services) and the management of services (coordinating and overseeing medical/rehabilitative care) as well as emotional and social support." (Informal Caregiving)"

Abstract
According to recent reports, supplying enough energy on a reliable basis at prices that will not cripple the global economic growth has become a challenge with consequences that are difficult to predict. The paper shows that, although this will provide new opportunities for oil and gas companies, pipelines, generators, utilities and others in the energy business, it also carries serious risks. The paper shows that the demand for energy is growing, not only in the developed economies of Europe, Japan and North American, but in developing countries as well. In fact, the fastest demand growth is in China and other emerging markets, thus from one side of the globe to the other, societies are needing and demanding more fuel. The paper examines how the world is able to deal with increased energy demands in the 21st century.
From the Paper
"There is no avoiding the fact that the success of globalization is underscored by dramatic increases in consumption, and with increased consumption comes environmental degradation (Marber pp). Current and projected damage to the environment can impede economic progress, and climatic changes attributed to greenhouse gas emissions and pressure on natural resources have become serious problems (Marber pp). Resource scarcity is an issue the world will have to confront as two to three billion more people consume like middle class Americans over the next fifty years (Marber pp)."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the Oedipus-type of story would relate to the 21st century.
From the Paper
"The idea of the Oedipus complex has so far passed into common language that many people may use the term without knowing much about what it means, still less what its source is. Thus there is a problem in determining whether or to what extent Oedipal theory could resonate in st-century narratives. Two texts are key, "Oedipus Tyrannus" a play by Sophocles and Freud's "Interpretation of Dreams."

Abstract
This paper traces the history of human resource management leading to the modern day. It examines the difficulties and challenges which are faced in this profession as well as the conveniences which are experienced due to breakthroughs in technology.
From the paper:
"In today's ever-changing business world Human Resource management is an integral part of a companies success or failure. Human Resources departments "balance the demands of several different roles: business partner, internal consultant, operational and administrative expert and both employee and employer advocate." (Brown, 1998, para 8)
"The modern ideas of HR management have their roots in early 20th century theorem and New Age innovation. The managing of people, as a resource vs. just personnel is an improvement pioneered in the latter half of the past century. Differing schools of thought exist on the best way to achieve HR enlightenment. Some value structures while others take a more free form approach. Whatever the dogma, the ultimate desired end result is a competitive advantage over the competition and staying power in a volatile business environment."

Abstract
This paper examines the key issues surrounding the African-American Church in the year 2005. The paper discusses what new pastors should be learning as they train to become Christian leaders in their communities. The paper also attempts to answer how an aspiring preacher should approach the many social problems that confront the African-American community, which issues are appropriate for associating with sermons or Bible study, and which are better left to small group discussion.
From the Paper
"Inside the hard-bound cover of Andrew Billingsley's book, Climbing Jacob's Ladder: The Enduring legacy of African-American Families, is to be found pages upon pages of the great wisdom and big-picture vision of a man who is highly respected in the academic and scholarly communities, as well as in the black community. To borrow an old advertising slogan, when Billingsley speaks, people listen; and when he writes, people read, and people think deeply about what he expresses. Reading his books helps a young would-be pastor learn how to tell a story that has plenty of power, honesty and relevance, and yet carries with it some degree of entertaining value at the same time."

Abstract
An investigation into the future of nursing and the challenges the field faces with the advent of technology and the moving away from restricted areas in the medical world. The author discusses the nursing field's need to become more aware of multicultural issues in order to meet the changing demographic face of the world.
From the Paper
"The explosive growth in the US population of individuals of African, Asian, Pacific Islander, Arabian, and Hispanic descent creates some urgency in health care. The population is "fast becoming a multiracial, multilingual, and multicultural society ... in which issues of communication, tolerance and teamwork must be addressed." [(p.334)] The American Academy of Nursing proposes that cultural competence is more than cultural awareness.[Davis, 1992] Culturally competent care is based on knowledge, skills, and commitment to care for individuals within the context of their culture. Culturally competent caregivers use cross-cultural theory, models, and appropriate research findings in caring for clients from diverse cultures. They seek and acquire cultural awareness, knowledge, and skills while acknowledging their own biases and prejudices."
