Abstract
For being one of the most famous modern poets, the author finds it is strange that Philip Larkin lived such a reclusive and mysterious life. This paper deals with how his work, especially the "High Windows" compilation, reflected his strange lifestyle and outlook.
From the Paper
"Philip Larkin stands as one of the greatest in twentieth century British artistry. His manipulation and control of words is some of the most masterful to have come out of his homeland. He was a quiet and self-embittered man who overcompensated his insecurity with a boastful and egotistical persona towards his audience. Timidity, anxiousness, and misunderstanding shrouded most of his adult life; the theme chokes at the heart of most of his writings. Confusion, seclusion, and what is seemingly feigned indifference, comprise the backdrop on which he paints his words."

Abstract
Examines how these novels' isolated protagonists are used to critique their indifferent societies. Public space in fiction serves as a means of identifying aspects of the characters of the people who inhabit those spaces.
From the Paper
"Public space in fiction serves as a means of identifying aspects of the characters of the people who inhabit those spaces. The characters in Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky, L'Assommoir by Emile Zola, and Last Nights of Paris by Philippe Soupault also illustrate multiple social meanings and serve as a means for the authors to criticize their own society.
The theory of human nature and the meaning of life that is offered by the Underground Man in Notes from Underground derives from his personality and his particular experiences in the world. Those experience have left him angry and spiteful, and in part his "theory" of human nature is a spiteful reaction to the way he himself has been treated. He seems obsessed with developing this theory, as if he will be able to codify all human conduct and explain it by means of his view of why people behave in a certain ..."

From the Paper
"By depicting the life of Hsiang Tzu in vivid detail and the many characters who cross his path in Rickshaw, Lao She captures the moral decadence of the Chinese people. According to Lao She, the ?Individualism? of the Chinese results in their failure to unite and commit to a national cause (James viii-ix). Hsiang Tzu, the protagonist of this book, is driven by his selfish pursuits. Believing that owning a rickshaw is the key to his financial security, he steals customers from other rickshaw pullers and leads a secluded existence except when he craves sympathy for his misfortunes. Yet Hsiang Tzu is not the only selfish character. In fact, he is frequently the victim of individuals who are even more despicable."

Abstract
This paper examines an 1996 article in "Christianity Today" about volunteering in Robert Wuthnow's book "Learning to Care: Elementary Kindness in an Age of Indifference". The paper explains that the author questions whether the "mild morality" found in present-day volunteers is what society really needs. The paper looks at how, according to Wuthnow, the type of volunteering needed in the present society is different than that of past generations. The paper also points out that a milder type of volunteerism is necessary in a society like the one that exists today, which is so complex, but during the pioneer days for example, individuals needed be strong and virtuous, because they lived in such a lawless and unprotected world. The paper concludes that the churches' clergy and educators need to show the youth of today what heroes are doing.
From the Paper
"Wuthnow argues that this milder type of volunteerism is necessary in a society like the one that exists today, which is so complex. To the contrary, during pioneer days for example, individuals needed be strong and virtuous, because they lived in such a lawless and unprotected world. "Temperance and prudence took the place of factory schedules and insurance schemes." Now, however, people can be "relatively weak" in their volunteering efforts, due to the strength of the government and business institutions."

Preventive Health Care in Prison, 2008.

Abstract
This paper examines the history of the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution and how it has evolved inside the judicial system into the right to preventive healthcare within the prison setting. The author studies diseases such as viral hepatitis and how the justice system has dealt with this disease. This paper discusses human papillomavirus (HPV) and how it can be compared to viral hepatitis types B and C. The author concludes that the standard of deliberate indifference to health care needs in women's prisons requires the United State's justice system to immunize women prisoners to prevent the spread of HPV and cervical cancer. The paper argues that it is now the obligation of the Federal Bureau of Prisons to add to the "Clinical Practice Guidelines" a requirement for mandatory testing for HPV and for immunization with Gardasil for those who are at high risk of HPV.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In "Ruiz v. Johnson", a group of inmates had sued the Director of the Texas Department of Corrections. The plaintiffs alleged that conditions in the correctional facilities violated Eight Amendment protections. Conditions were so extreme that the United States joined in as a plaintiff, against the defendant's resistance. The case includes commentary from Dr. Robertson, an expert in the trial. He stated that he saw two cases of "potentially preventable" cancers where the patients received delay in diagnosis and treatment, causing a negative prognosis. The defendants argued that the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) accredited them and therefore their practices were constitutional."

Abstract
This paper examines Heidegger's description of factical life experience as attitudinal, in that it indifferently asserts relational meanings as significance. In comparison, it takes a look at his examination of how the Christian life experience stands indifferently towards such indifference. The paper points out that, in factical life, the surrounding world tends to dictate in its immediacy an attitude of the significance of objects that presupposes experience, whereas the Christian life experience of 'having become' inhabits a futurity that exists in both time and history in a manner that factical life cannot. The paper maintains that the primordial Christian lives both time and history in a manner which reduces the significances of factical life to incidental temporality. The paper concludes that this attitude engenders a sense of anguish in its oppositions, which reinforces itself as the 'how', or manner in which Dasein embraces being at the phenomenological point of experience.
From the Paper
"Factical life experience is attitudinal in that its Dasein, or being-in-the-world, is determined by a relationship with experience that is presupposed by a web of significances, which refer solely to the surrounding material world. "'Attitude' is a relation to objects in which the conduct is absorbed in the material complex". There exists only an interest in the content, the matter that exists as the material component of experience, which draws the focus away from the experiential self. Attitude is as much a cognitive position toward the world as objects, as it is a dictation of the relationship to the material complex, not as self, but as an object dictated by the significances of the surrounding world. The 'how' of factical life is 'fallen' into because it 'worlds'; the attitude of significance it is not generated from Dasein, rather, it is a living in history. The attitude of significance subsumes the 'how' and hides the historicity of the material complex. History, as enacted by science, forms an objective material complex that factical life experience takes up as 'what actually happened'; a structure of attitudinal foreconceptions of objects which hold significance only with regard to the axiomatic foundations of science as enacted through history. Relational meaning and their enactment are directed by the surrounding world, instead of either being self-generated through Dasein or by the experience itself. Factical Dasein is inserted into factical life to secure itself either against, with, or for history, reducing both Dasein and history to the status of objects in service to factical life's attitudinal relationship to experience. "The concerned Dasein is only an object-segment from a great whole object (from the entire objective historical happening)". Living-in-the-world is constructed objectively in a historical context that is re-interpreted by the tendency of life to 'fall away' attitudinally into preconceptions of objects as significance."

Reforming U.S. Political System, 1997.

From the Paper
" Analysts have observed an increase among the electorate in both apathy and disaffection toward all levels of government. People have always complained about the bureaucracy they have to face when they have business with the government. They have always criticized programs which did not work and spending they feel is misdirected. They have also always been aware of governmental corruption and at times have been more or less willing to accept it as a given if not to tolerate it. In recent years, though, ethical questions have become more important as the public has become fed up with lapses in their bureaucratic structure. The perception is that government is beset by gridlock, incompetence, and corruption, and people have little patience with the corruption in particular. What is sought is a model of "bureaucratic responsibility" to deal with this issue.."

Abstract
This paper deals with the application of macroeconomic principals to real-world problems, by detailing and analyzing instances in which the fictional protagonist makes deductions about criminal behavior patterns by using economic concepts.
From the Paper
"Economics is not something the average person thinks of as being practical in an everyday sense. Most people?excepting those who are economists?are only exposed to economic thinking when they?re filing their tax returns, or when they?re trying to figure out why Alan Greenspan can announce that he doesn?t feel so well today and suddenly the stock market crashes (why is that, anyway?). Fortunately, Professor Henry Spearman is not an everyday person. In fact, the protagonist of Marshall Jevons? "A Deadly Indifference" proves that economic thinking can not only be practical, but can actually solve crimes. This came as no surprise to me, of course, because I am a regular viewer of ?The X-Files,? where such extraordinary things happen every week."

The Creation and Consequence of a Passive Voting Public, 2002.
The causes of, and the solutions to, America's political indifference.
2,257 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the fact that many Americans are generally dissatisfied with the Republican and the Democratic parties, due to perceptions that both parties generally operate to serve their own self-interests. This paper shows that once people are sufficiently educated about the democratic process and how to participate effectively, their uncertainty about their ability to influence public policy will dissipate.
From the Paper
"In order to promote public participation in political processes, the voting public must be adequately informed about the functions and limitations of elected representatives. They must also be reassured of the critical importance of public participation. Communication is the ?glue? that holds society together. Yet when that communication process is thwarted, the entire political system can break down; eventually to the point in which we are living in a completely authoritarian society."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the writer's personal philosophy of care and individual ethics in a case scenario of a patient (referred to as Mr. Smith) with advanced Alzheimer's and dementia. The writer discusses how the family often appeared indifferent and unconcerned with their father's condition especially at his untimely demise, which proved difficult for the nursing staff as they cared profoundly for the patient. The writer explores the specific ethical principles involved, including autonomy, justice, beneficence, and nonmaleficence and links the clinical situation to a specific theory of grief, loss and bereavement. The writer suggests alternative actions which could have led to a more satisfying and ethical outcome in the case of Mr. Smith, his family and the nurses concerned.
Outline:
Introduction
My Philosophy of Care in my Nursing Practice
Autonomy, Justice, Beneficence and Nonmaleficence
Related Theory of Grief, Loss, and Bereavement
Suggested Alternative Solutions
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Ethics in healthcare is fundamental in the day-to-day care provided to patients' particularly in nursing and certainly with end of life issues. Essentially, the code of ethics for registered nurses is a declaration of commitment to those we serve, it is a guideline that sets out behaviors expected of us, and it advocates for quality care and serves as a self-reflection tool (Canadian Nurses Association, 1998). The codes of ethics and the standards of care made available by our governing body ensure that the best nursing practices will be provided to our patients (Aiken, 2005). Part of our nursing practice is to assist in life-threatening situations. Coping with death is challenging for nurses since the ability to cope with one's own grief or beliefs highly depends on the relationship of the healthcare provider to the patient, to their families and to their own experiences with death."

Families, 2004.
An overview of the changing family unit.

Abstract
This paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of the way the core family unit has changed over the years. It looks at how families in times past were strongly patriarchal, the result of an arranged marriage rather than a love match, how parents were often indifferent to their children, and how childhood was not viewed as any special part of life. In comparison, it explores how it is only in modern times that the nuclear family has developed into a nurturing and child-centered family unit, even though today's families include remarkable changes. Today?s families include single women who choose to be artificially inseminated, gay couples who adopt or use approaches such as artificial insemination or surrogate mothers to have children, and couples who marry later in life and have children despite being well into their forties.
From the Paper
"Interestingly, after half a century of rising or stable but high rates of divorce, the Census bureau results that there have been modest increases in the number of nuclear families. In 1991, they reported 51% of the country?s children as living with both parents; by 1996 that number had risen to 56% (Blankenhorn, 2002). Nevertheless, this means that 44% of all children live in some kind of non-nuclear, non-traditional family format. However, in considering these statistics, one has to look at how they were gathered. The Census Bureau defined a ?traditional nuclear family? as consisting of two biological parents and their children, with no one else. So, if the grandparents lived with the family, they would no longer consider it ?nuclear.?
