"The Compatibility of "Command and Control" with TQM methods
Hypothesis
The traditional American management style of "command and control" can be compatible with total quality control methods.
Background
One of the difficulties with employing management methodologies is defining the relative differences between styles, especially in an age where customer driven total quality management seems to be leading the charge. The use of "command and control" leadership in business management is useful only to a degree, being in many cases a reaction to situations that have already occurred. Traditional management too often relies on ..."

From the Paper
"Some refer to the process of measuring awareness as an information audit (Dobson, 2001). This audit determines where information comes from in an organization, where it goes, how it is used, who manages and shares it and who may process information (Dobson, 2001). An information awareness or audit should be customized to an organization and focus on "awareness, relevance, usability and unmet needs" with respect to business information systems (Dobson, 2001). An organization may also need to assess how information moves within the organization (Dobson, 2001)."

Phonological Awareness and Reading, 2005.
A discussion of how phonological awareness affects reading and how one can teach phonological awareness skills.

Abstract
This paper discusses phonological awareness. It looks at what phonological awareness is, how it is formed, and what to do if deficits are shown. The problems that occur when there are deficits in phonological awareness are also discussed and ideas for intervention are provided.
From the Paper
"Since phonological awareness develops over time, children must be given adequate support to enhance the skill that they are learning at a given time. This is not to say that children can only gain knowledge of one aspect of phonological awareness at a time, but only that skills should be fostered as they develop instead of just pushing the child immediately on to the next skill. Phonological awareness should not be expected to adhere to a strict stage theory of development; "children refine phonological awareness skills they have acquired while they are learning new phonological skills" (Anthony & Francis, 2005, p. 256)."

Phonological Awareness, 2007.
An analysis of the value of phonological and phonemic awareness to teaching reading to children.

Abstract
This paper discusses the effects on children's developmental progress when they are given systematic explicit instruction in phonemic awareness. It discusses the ways in which phonological awareness and phonemic awareness, including how to teach and assess them, has made an extremely valuable contribution to understanding how to teach reading to all children, including children with learning disabilities or delays in early reading.
From the Paper
"Other findings reveal that opportunities to play with language result in the development of phonemic awareness (Wasik 2001). In one 1987 study, young children who were knowledgeable about nursery rhymes and who had opportunities to manipulate sound in language also had well-developed phonemic awareness (Wasik 2001). Nursery rhymes are a natural way to expose children to words that sound the same, and research suggests that by learning rhymes, poems, and jingles, children develop awareness of sounds in words (Wasik 2001). Therefore, natural play with language can encourage children to attend to the sounds that words make (Wasik 2001). Research demonstrates that teaching phonemic awareness to 1st and 2nd graders who have had difficulty reading resulted in significant improvements in their ability to read and spell words, thus it is important for adult to create opportunities for children to learn phonemic awareness (Wasik 2001)."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that cases like those of Terri Shiavo and Robert Kenneth Durksen put the moral quandaries regarding comatose victims to the forefront of the public's mind. The writer notes that only by fully understanding the condition, and answering questions such as whether or not there is awareness in comatose patients, can the public make informed decisions, when sensitive situations occur. This paper provides an overview of the comatose condition, followed by a review of literature regarding awareness in comatose patients. The writer then presents conclusions drawn from this information, in hopes of shedding further light on such a delicate topic.
Outline:
Introduction
Comatose Overview
Literature Review Regarding Comas and Coma Awareness
Analysis of Findings
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The medical term comatose is derived from the Greek word koma, meaning a deep sleep. A comatose patient is in a deep state of unconsciousness that is characterized by the loss of reactivity to external stimuli and absence of spontaneous nervous activity, and cannot be awakened. Coma victims have usually experienced injury or disease of the cerebrum."
"The origin of the injury affects the different patterns of coma. Losses of consciousness for short durations may be caused by concussions, whereas the lack of oxygen, or anoxia, may lead to a coma that lasts for several weeks or is fatal. Sudden loss of consciousness in some patients may be caused by a stroke, which is a rupture or blockage of the vessels that supply blood to the brain."

Developing Awareness, 2007.
An analysis of the factors that contribute to developing awareness of the world around oneself.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the ideal of being able to develop awareness of the world around oneself. It goes into detail about the factors that make this awareness possible. It discusses a willingness to subject oneself to new ideals and release internal beliefs about what it means to be conscious or aware. It looks into the need to forgo one's reliance on factual information and instead come to recognize the symbolism apparent in every day activity. Finally, the paper explores how one's own perceptions are biased and often rely on factual or idealized versions of what is real, versus what is perhaps, unreal.
From the Paper
"Nabokov (2000) interestingly asserts that "common sense" reveals that we exist and reminds us of our existence, but is only a "brief crack of light between two extremities of darkness." Like Keller he asserts that true consciousness does not arise from mere experiences or perceptions of experiences alone. The author suggests that the collective conscious is often directed by rigid rules of society, and one have but reach out and tap into their own self and identity to awaken their conscious and perhaps begin to capture a glimmer of true awakening. Inner knowledge comes from perception that is not tainted by memory but rather open to new revelations that should not result from reflexive acts but rather new experiences. This is much as Keller would suggest, that mankind could raise his awareness or conscious if only he stopped relying on the obvious and instead takes a moment to explore that which is not obvious or that which is unusual and new."

Abstract
The main aim of this paper is to investigate the connection between the amount of attention paid to news coverage in elections by citizens, and the effects of this on voting intention. Analysing secondary source data from the 2000 Canadian federal election, this paper finds that the only significant correlations between voting intention and attention paid to news were found amongst television viewers and newspaper readers. The data shows that the more attention individuals pay to news, the more they move away from being an undecided voter and towards identifying with a party.

"Paul Nesbitt-Larking argues that the media love elections because they "possess all the qualities of first class sporting events-provide cheap thrills for the media, who are able to garner much good material for little or no expenditure. Elections are easy because the protocols and rhythms of what will take place have been reasonably well established." If he is correct, then the 2000 Canadian federal election should have had Canadian media salivating. It was momentous for many reasons. It was the first election of a new millennium. It marked the third campaign as incumbent begun by then Prime Minister Jean ChrA(c)tien who, if he won (which he did), would have been handed with his fellow Liberals their third majority government. Finally, adding drama, there was a new, right-of-centre party on the scene in the form of the Canadian Alliance led by a young, charismatic, sea-doo riding leader by the name of Stockwell Day. Arguably therefore, it could be expected that the media would dramatically increase its coverage of the election campaign. By doing so however, the media become not just passive observers of the election, but also active participants and take for themselves the ability to, within newscasts especially, prime the electorate as to which issues are important."

Abstract
This paper is a critical evaluation of one of the most revered, and controversial books in Art History - "Patterns of Intention" by Michael Baxandall. His ideas of ?collective intention? are considered from the point of view of people looking at and thinking about art. Also, the idea of ?inferential criticism? is explored in terms of Baxandall?s thoughts on how art is viewed as opposed to how the mind is programmed to think.
From the Paper
"Experiences are inseparable from context. The events that occur in human lives are only significant when considered within the parameters of the underlying circumstances or situation. It is the way in which these events interact with the context and change it that makes them interesting in the first place. The ideas and conditions within which we exist on this earth are the all-encompassing, penetrative concepts through which we comparatively define ourselves; and events that we experience merely change our perspectives on these ideas and conditions. To be sure, ?all-encompassing, penetrative concepts? are very abstract and difficult to imagine in their full glory, but fortunately this observation can be narrowed to address almost any specific area of life. For instance, art is inseparable from the context. It follows, then, that each experience that we have involving art alters our broad perspective on the entire concept."

Abstract
The paper's ethics analysis shows how Mr. Anderson's ethical perspective is very results oriented and demands that the appearance of ethical standards and decision-making be substantiated by actual ethical conduct. The paper maintains that by utilizing the full arsenal of ethical training such as ethics awareness inventory analyses, ethics can be elevated to a business level competency that should influence business strategy.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The results of the ethical awareness inventory analysis indicate that I view ethics more project-oriented rather than process-oriented (Anderson, 2006). That is, while many others may debate the nature and character of ethics and the mechanism that goes into defining them, I view ethics as being largely results oriented or based on the outcome of actions regardless of the ethical debate antedating any action. According to the results, I am most concerned about achieving the greatest good for the greatest number of individuals possible. Yet, these results reveal a considerable amount of friction regarding my ethical perspective."

The Metamorphoses of Awareness, 2002.

Abstract
The paper shows that, when approached from a metaphorical and mythological stand-point, Franz Kafka's "Metamorphoses", about an office worker who mutates into a bug, becomes universal and important. It shows how "Metamorphoses" is the story of the human soul?s journey towards awareness and enlightenment, with some of the main themes being journeying and traveling.
From the Paper
"Before taking the form of an insect, Gregor lived what might be considered a dehumanizing, and certainly repetitive and unsoulfull life. He was single-handedly supporting his family and repaying his father?s debts. His first thoughts after the transformation are of how to catch his train and keep his job. Yet at the same time Gregor reminisces of how he hates his workplace, and wishes he could tell off his boss. He has never been authentic in life until the moment he becomes a bug. With every passing moment in bug form, outward appearance of reality becomes more and more true to the inner face of actual reality. Gregor?s family becomes unable to understand his speech: in truth they had never communicated with him. His room is stripped of its furnishings and filled with trash: really his life had never held anything of meaning. Gregor learns to make reality truthful. He becomes unwilling to eat because he cannot find food that he wants. In this self-starving he finds an integrity he never had before, an ability to insist that he be true to his nature. One could easily speak of this restless search for a satisfying food as a metaphor for the journeying search for enlightenment and truth in awareness. "

Jesus' Awareness That He Was God, 2007.
This paper explores the issue of Jesus' awareness of his being God.

»

Abstract
This paper explain that the question of when, or even whether, Jesus knew that he was God has been debated by theologians since Christ's crucifixion. The author reviews the questions surrounding this issue by reflecting upon the distinction between the ascent and descent theological approaches to the nature of Jesus. The paper concludes that, while it is clear that Jesus had some perceptions concerning his special relationship with God, there is very little in the New Testament that indicates any full awareness of his role and purpose in life before his baptism; however, during his public ministry, Jesus demonstrated a clear understanding of who he was. The paper contains many quotations.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Although humankind has always believed infancy and early childhood to be uniquely significant, it was not until the early half of the twentieth century that consistent research was conducted into the way in which children emotionally develop. Freud (1949), who was the foremost major theorist to highlight the importance of infancy and young childhood, strongly believed that "the ways babies are treated establish lifelong orientations and personality traits", while other behaviorists, including the Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget, explored children's cognitive growth."

Abstract
The paradoxical intention technique is an existential psychotherapeutic method, which works primarily through verbally induced processes. In view of its method and its anthropology it can be defined as a phenomenological and person-oriented psychotherapy, its aim being to bring the person to make (mentally and emotionally) free experiences, to induce authentic decisions and to bring about a truly responsible way of dealing with life and the world.

From the Paper
Many anthropologists find the use of primate studies as a way of understanding human development to be a flawed approach. Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Lewentin, for instance, question the validity of sociobiology and see it as a case of circular reasoning: "In making this point, Gould and Lewontin see sociobiologists devising their scenarios to create highly simplistic, perfectly adaptive situations--a condtioin rarely (if ever) found in nature" (Turnbaugh, Jurmain, Nelson, and Kilgore, 1996, 196). However, such criticism relates more to how the questions are framed and answered than to the basic question of how valuable primate studies can be in helping our understanding of human behavior and culture. The criticism noted above does show the danger of allowing affective thinking..."
