"Television became a technical reality in the United States during the late 1930's. In January of 1948, there were over 100,000 television sets in use and ten years later, four out of five American homes had them. By 1969, the television set had become an integral part of American households, with 95 percent having at least one television set (Lange, Baker, & Ball, 1969). Almost from the beginning, there has been a concern on the part of educators, parents and other professionals, about child development and the effects that television has on children. The recent television landscape continues to be full of drugs, crime, violence, sex role and other stereotypes, as well as an explicit view of sexual matters.

"Hollywood is a word used to refer to certain aspects of the American visual media, notably the motion picture and television, no matter where in the United States or under whose auspices the films or programs may actually be made. Hollywood had been a major world influence for most of this century, ever since films started being made in the real Hollywood after about 1915. "Hollywood" as a term has long referred to the American film in the world community, and today television has become the second major influence to come under that general rubric. Television started as a New York phenomenon, but as it shifted from live television to film, production also shifted largely to Hollywood. When there is a perception of something harmful, tasteless, socially detrimental, or simply trite in the media, Hollywood is blamed. This has been happening most recently with reference to.."

"THE EFFECTS OF TELEVISION VIOLENCE ON CHILD BEHAVIOR: SUMMARY
This study examined the relationship between viewing by children of television programming with violent content and manifestations of violent or aggressive behavioral tendencies by children. This study is important because criminal activity generally and violent behavior particularly committed by children in the United States is increasing as the overall rates of both violent and non-violent crime in this country are declining to some extent.
Social learning theory is posited as the way in which viewing violent programming on television is translated into violent behavior by children. Children begin to imitate adult behaviors at the earliest ages. The ability to imitate behavior is both useful and necessary for child development. While.."

"EFFECTS OF TELEVISION VIOLENCE ON CHILD BEHAVIOR: A RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Introduction: Statement of the Research Problem
Several studies have reported a high correlation between exposure to violent television programming and violent behavioral tendencies among children (Lazar, 1994, pp. 3-19; Ridley, Surdy, & O?Laughlin, 1991, pp. 63-71; Clark, 1995, pp. 1019-1021). In spite of these findings and others, however, the causal link between viewing violence on television and imitative child behavior continues to be a controversial issue (Tulloch, 1995, pp. 96-115).
This research develops a proposal to examine the relationship between viewing by children of television programming.."

Abstract
This paper presents a review of literature concerning the influence that parents have on the behavior of their children and concludes, after examining the literature, that it is essential for parents to spend a lot of time with their children and engage in constructive activities so that they can be emotionally connected with their parents and grow up to be trusting and loving individuals.
From the Paper
"Furthermore, several researches have been conducted to evaluate the influence of parents in the social behaviors of the children, but very few researches have been conducted to assess the influence of parents in the eating habit of their children. However, lately this subject has gained a lot of importance as obesity is turning out to be a major disease throughout world. One such research had been conducted by Joperd very recently. Joperd (2005) studied 127 families who had children in third, forth and fifth grades. Joperd started his survey by assessing the eating habits of the parents and then subsequently assessed the eating habit of their children. The study revealed that the eating habits of the children had been influenced by their parents. The researcher concludes that while the parents are aware of the consequences of bad eating habits, but they make no efforts to convey the advantages of healthy eating habits to their children and thereby allow their children to suffer from this disease."

Abstract
This paper studies the European influence on Japanese trade and political power structure. It specifically reports on Japanese policies towards foreigners from the early 17th century to late 19th century, Commodore Perry and the effects of his visit, the Shimonoseki incident, the treaties Japan signed with foreign nations, and how the politics of Japan were influenced by foreign contact are all discussed. This paper outlines Japan's trade with Western civilizations from its beginning, marked by Francis Xavier's landing in Kyushu, through Nobunaga and his influence, Hideyoshi, and Ieyasu.
From the Paper
"In 1551, a 19 year old lord of a small territory began his conquests in Japan, with the support of both European military technology and the missionaries. His name was Nobunaga. Nobunaga's main fear was that of the great power of the Buddhist monasteries, and, because of this, he welcomed the Jesuits to his captured territories, which included the capital, Kyoto. Nobunaga was assassinated in 1582, and his most trusted and successful general, Hideyoshi, came into power. Hideyoshi was a man who feared change, and his reforms showed this. He reinstated old laws, forcing samurai to stay with their lords, peasants to stay with their farms, and artists and artisans to stay with their villages. Hideyoshi, who, like his lord, feared the Buddhists, but unlike his lord did not trust the Jesuits, began to ban Christian missionaries, although the Christian church continued to operate underground in Japan."

Abstract
The paper discusses the main domestic problems facing the U.S, as well as the expansionist policy in effect before Roosevelt took over as President. The paper explains how Roosevelt was influential in initiating progressive labor laws in the areas of child protection and workers compensation. The paper notes Roosevelt's staunch support of ?Manifest Destiny,? which appointed the U.S. as the sole protector of all the lands in the western hemisphere and emphasizes the role he played as a dedicated environmentalist.
From the Paper
"Of all the positive attributes associated with Theodore Roosevelt, his viewpoint on the role of American citizens in national and international affairs is most powerful and worth defending. Roosevelt once remarked that no one has the right to devote their entire lives to making money. He once said to a fervent admirer that ?a man wields tremendous power for good or for evil. . . the public has built up for you a personality; now give that personality to whatever interest you. . . in your neighborhood, your city or your state,? a declaration very similar in nature to that of President Kennedy in 1960 and surely effective in today?s world considering America?s involvement in global affairs. Thus, Theodore Roosevelt certainly brought about widespread and effective change, not only in America but also on a world scale that has yet to be matched by any U.S. President."

Abstract
This paper illustrates the role of social, family and individual influence in the three plays by focusing on how influence changed the lives of the protagonists of Aristophanes? "Lysistrata", Sophocles? "Oedipus Rex" and Hansberry?s "A Raisin in the Sun". The paper examines how the influence on an individual or society may have radical effects. The paper comments separately on each play and then describes the common theme and ideas throughout the three plays. The writer looks at the influence of society on the individual and the influence of the individual on society.
From the Paper
"Every individual is at some point of his life influenced either by someone or by society. This influence totally changes him for the better or for the worse. The impact totally transforms the individual to such an extent that he is a completely different person. The inspiration is so great and effective that there is a revolutionary change in the individual and he becomes a new individual altogether. However, the change could be for the better or for the worse. The influence could be negative in which case the person will be completely destroyed emotionally or physically and the impact could be so devastating that this destruction could even be self inflicted. On the other hand, a positive influence could make a better individual in character or in strength and enable him to achieve the impossible."

From the Paper
"Position power refers to formal powers that remain vested in the position and are available to any individual who holds a certain position or title. Coercive power is used to control punishments that others receive. Information power is used to control information needed by subordinates to do their jobs. Technological advances have made information more widely available, and so information power is not as crucial as it used to be. Legitimate power covers a relatively narrow range of influence and refers to power individuals have because others accept and recognize their authority. Reward power is used to control the rewards that subordinates receive."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Persian Empire created great civilizations before the rise of Islam. The author points out that the Persian presence within the Islamic populace influenced many core aspects of the Muslim society: the realm and formation of government, architecture, music, medicine, linguistics, literature, clothing and fashion and other areas of cultural, economical, political and social significance. The paper states that, unlike general notions perpetrated by Western civilizations, the Islamic civilization, which was a global civilization that integrated individuals of diverse ethnic backgrounds who worked together to create knowledge within the arts and sciences, was not marred with war and terrorism. The author believes that the modern view of the Persian Empire is marred with subjective criticisms and linkages between Iran and terrorism.

Conclusion: State-Sponsored Terrorism and Iran
From the Paper
"Fields of medicine strongly influenced by Iranian scientist include but are not limited to physiology, biochemistry, immunology, and molecular biology. There influence has been likened to changes in the understanding of medicine that took place between prehistoric times to the present, this is a rather profound statement, since "the torch of medicine was in the hands of Muslims in historical periods from ancient Athens to the Renaissance", but Iranian scientist have still managed to make remarkable progress in medicine. Scientist form the Persian sphere have had such a profound impact on Islamic medical research, that many medical scientist considered authorities in the field have evolved in the Islamic Civilization, but are Persian. Nabipour highlighted a few renowned scientists such as Rhazes (865 - 925 A.D.)who has one of the most authoritative books on smallpox and measles."

Abstract
This study attempts to illustrate how Greece has influenced the European Union by examining specific major events and structural guidelines that are not just regional considerations but have world wide implications. This examination takes place in the light of how the Greeks, in particular, have seen their presence in the union shape and sway the both the look and direction of the body. The specific areas of analysis include the enlargement processes of 1995 and 2004, the Greek influence on European Monetary Union (EMU) and an examination of how Greece has affected the European Union's Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) specifically during the U.S. war in Iraq and the resulting differences that occurred amongst the EU member states. In addition, the study analyzes the specific impact of the term of the Greek presidency within the EU briefly and as it related to the U.S. war in Iraq in 2003. As the facts are presented and examined, the paper makes it clear how the Greek nation has had a measurable influence on the membership, policy and direction of the EU and provide an insight into what lasting impact has been left by the Children of Hellas.

"The first setting that must be provided is a short history. This is done to properly contextualize the role played by Greece since the signing of the Maastricht Treaty and provides some basic information about the history and development of the EU. This brief historical look at the evolution of the European Union is not meant to be exhaustive instead the information is simply included to provide the reader with a feel for the methodology by which the union has taken shape. It is helpful to note at this point that the formation of the European Union is dramatically different than the formation of the United States but references are made to the so-called 'United States of Europe.' Where applicable, this statement will be elaborated upon and clarified as necessary."

Summary of Influence Processes
Analysis and Comparison
Discussion Board: Transformational Leadership
From the Paper
"Leadership depends on influence processes and concepts in order to guide a given organization. Without strong and well-developed influence processes, the leader must resort to coercive processes which are counter-productive and produce no lasting positive change. Influence processes involve no coercive types of influences but rather make use of positive influences such as motivation, compensation, and mentoring, among others, to affect positive change (Mathews, 2006). In this vein, leadership can be considered a process that use non-coercive power while as a property, leadership can be thought of as a body of characteristics which are most often attributed to those who are considered to be leaders or are in leadership positions. Thus, influence processes are related to how one dispenses one's authority when in a leadership position and the types of authority or power."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses in detail the reasons why the military has always been the most influential institution in Pakistan. The writer summarizes the factors behind the rise of the army to such influence in context with all the military and political governments that have come to power since 1947. This paper also focuses on how the military regimes have tried to maximize the army's influence in the civil domain, creating a military bureaucracy. An evaluation of the present situation is also provided with the implications it might have in the future. Finally, a limited set of recommendations are also considered for a solution to this consistent military influence in the country's politics.
Outline:
Introduction
First Direct Military Intervention
Conclusion & Recommendations
From the Paper
"Pakistan's founder Jinnah had stressed on the making of a constitution as soon as possible but his untimely death only a year later and then the assassination of Liaquat Ali Khan left the Muslim League and the nation with no real leader who could pursue the Quaid's vision. Then the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly (which was formed before partition to draft a constitution) by Ghulam Mohammad resulted in Pakistan not having the rules laid down for a proper political system. In such circumstances the military establishment on its own assumed the responsibility to govern Pakistan. It might sound like a very noble deed on their part but a full and critical analysis shows the military had its own reasons for such an intervention. After the initial eleven years of wrangling between bureaucrats in politics, the military establishment has been the major power-house institution to rule Pakistan."
