Abstract
The stock market?s dominant theory, the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) has been greatly criticized recently for its failure to account for human errors, heuristic bias, use of misinformation, psychological tendencies, in determining future expected performance and obtainable profits. Existing evidence indicates that past confidence in the EMH may have been misdirected, as the theory?s models do not show a thorough understanding of trading operations in a realistic light.
Researchers have suggested that a variety of anomalies and inconsistent historical results demand that traditional financial theories, namely the EMH, be reconstructed to include human interaction as a key decision-making process that directly affects the performance of financial markets. This research paper determines whether or not there is a need for a refined financial model that incorporates the behavior of the stock market?s investors. The paper includes tables and graphs.

From the Paper
"According to Barrett and several financial analysts, when investors watched the Nasdaq ?blast through the 5,000-point threshold in March only to give back half its value by year's end?, most investors felt the need t re-evaluate his expectations and investing philosophy.
The same group of investors that had dumped endless streams of cash into shaky Internet stocks at unprecedented prices suddenly pulled their money out of the stock market, afraid to buy even some of the leading industry stocks at low prices. This backs up research that states that the majority of individual investors will keep a losing stock too long and sell a winning stock too soon."

Abstract
This paper examines how, increasingly, organizations in today?s world are moving towards flatter, less hierarchical structures, a trend that has led to greater focus on effective teamwork. In particular, it explores the pros and cons of using an interactive style of behavior in teamwork and examines the implications for managing stress, motivation, teamwork, leadership roles, and conflict situations. It also attempts to arrive at a set of recommendations for areas of improvement, with the objective of increasing effectiveness in teamwork situations.
From the Paper
"Since The Interactive Style or The Interacting Socializer type of behavior is primarily motivated by ?influencing people,? (Alessandra, 2002, p. 2) individuals who predominantly use this style tend to be ?outgoing, optimistic, enthusiastic people who like to be in the center of things.? (O?Connor, 1996-2001) On the positive side, this type of behavior is characterized by an enjoyment of symbols of authority and prestige; high comfort levels both in delegating and taking charge; a positive, enthusiastic outlook; a persuasive and inspirational communication style; a trusting nature; and an ability to withstand criticism. The downside, however, of excessive use of The Interactive Style is that some of the strengths also tend to manifest themselves as weaknesses."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The research to date shows that when done properly, interactive marketing will give rise to the need for measures of the effectiveness of marketing communication that go beyond traditional measures. These new measures will focus on process as well as outcome and are likely to include measures of effectiveness that have previously been regarded as mediating variables (Bryant & Zillman, 2002). According to these authors, "The use of interactive media also draws attention to the theoretical differences between traditional conceptualizations on advertising and its applications to today's marketplace. Traditional approaches to advertising practice and research have implicitly assumed that advertising is something the marketer does to the consumer" (p. 369). By sharp contrast, interactive advertising makes it clear that what advertising does to the consumer is only one limited dimension of advertising, highlighting the need to understand what consumers do to advertising and how interactive media affect this two-way interaction (Bryant & Zillman, 2002).

From the Paper
"Technical manuals are one of aircraft mechanics? vital tools. An aircraft is a composition of thousands of assembly parts. Its maintenance depends on referencing to thousands of technical manuals that are critically kept for future checks and consultations in cases of aircraft repair or diagnosis. One study indicates that an F-18 Fighter, for instance, consists of 30,000 pages of documentations whose printed documents consume a storage space of 68 cubic feet. With the advent of IETM, such pages of documentation could only take a CD-ROM to store exactly all the information and a few seconds of time to retrieve them. Today, IETM has been the preferred scheme in technical assessment and repair of complex machineries. This is due to the fact that IETM offers more advantages than the traditional scheme of paper-based technical manuals."

" In 1999, more than 20 billion game sets and software were sold, surprisingly more than the Hollywood box office for the first time in history. This just tells us that more and more people are playing games than they were before. This also means that more people are playing games instead of watching movies or even reading books. Making games the most popular form of entertainment on planet Earth. This also makes us see the transformation of digital entertainment into a proper art form."

From the Paper
"According to Williams (2000) Long Beach school officials found that in the year following implementation of the school uniform policy, overall school crime decreased thirty-six percent, fights decreased fifty-one percent, sex offenses decreased seventy-four percent, weapons offenses decreased fifty percent, assault and battery offenses decreased thirty-four percent, and vandalism decreased eighteen percent. Unexpectedly, fewer than one percent of the students have elected to opt out of the uniform policy."
"Some school systems have allowed students to decide whether to wear uniform clothing, but others have determined that a mandatory school uniform policy with no opt out provision is necessary to address a disruptive atmosphere. According to Cruz (2001) a Phoenix, Arizona school, for example, adopted a mandatory uniform policy requiring all of its students to wear school uniforms, or if they choose to defy the policy, attend another public school. Encouragingly, this Phoenix school uniform policy was recently upheld by a state trial court."

Primate Interaction, 2002.
Insight into the social interaction of various members of the primate family.
1,041 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how primate interaction is among the most advanced of all mammals, excluding humans, and how primate interaction, unlike many other animal species, is based around banding together in groups. It looks at how primates are social creatures that function through male domination, competition, and eventual confrontation, and how all species of primates have relatively similar behavior patterns concerning these issues, except for the bonobos, whose behavior is quite unusual compared to their primate peers.
From the Paper
"One of the most interesting dynamics of the primates? social interaction is when male silverbacks from different groups confront each other. Often a rival silverback will challenge for control of the group. If the rival is successful, he takes control of the females and their offspring from the previous silverback (Gilders 32). Oddly enough, the new leading silverback will often kill the offspring, and prepare the females for the breeding of his offspring (Gilders 32). Gilders notes that during a fifteen year period at Virunga, thirty-eight percent of the infant deaths were due to infanticide caused by the rival silverback (32)."
