Many of the source books on the subject state that denim is derived from the English translation of the South of France French phrase 'serge de Nimes'. Denim fashion history has therefore become associated with Serge de Nimes. (Denim Jeans - Fashion History). The Serge de Nimes was originally a wool silk mix, twill weave. There was also fabric which was known as "nim" in France and both these fabrics were composed partly of wool. (A history of Denim)
The word "Jeans" is considered by most source to come from 'Genoese'. This was the name give to Italian sailors in Genoa who "...when at sea dressed in blue fustian fabric composed of a cotton and wool or linen blend." (The Blue Jeans Story) Another European fabric made from a cotton, linen and wool blend "... was known as 'jean' after the sailors of Genoa, Italy, who wore it." (Denim Jeans - Fashion History)"

Culture of Jeans, 2000.
A look at the ideology and symbolic meaning behind jeans and how this has changed over time.

Abstract
The ideology of Jeans in the United States has been changing for decades due to the shift in pop culture. Because of the diversity of American culture, the idea behind the jeans has evolved from hard-working to self identification. The author examines the changing symbolic significance of jeans for American society over time and the symbol they serve for popular culture.
From the Paper
"Jeans, or to be exact, blue jeans, have been carrying its very symbolic significance for America over the last 150 years. For the past century and a half, the culture of jeans has changed the ideological symbolism from initial proletarian wardrobes (toughness, independence, and hardworking) in the mid-nineteenth century to modern twenty-first century representation of selfness (uniqueness, individuality, and personal styles). Not only has the ideology changed over time, but the jeans per se, its design, style, embellishment, or even marketing strategy also change from ?western-era? plain style emphasizing durability, through ?rebellious-period? creative style stressing anti-tradition, to ?post-war epoch? advocating casualness, following neck-and-neck along the societal pulsation. Jeans therefore can serve as an accurate barometer of trends in contemporary, now and then, popular cultures."

Abstract
This paper explains that the legendary pirate, Jean Laffite, who lived from 1780 to 1825 (approximately), was born in Bayonne, France. The family eventually migrated to the Island of Espanola from where the Laffite brothers sailed the Gulf and the Caribbean and were involved in many privateering missions. The author points out that a pardon was offered to Laffite in 1814 by the British if he would assist them in attacking New Orleans, but Lafitte refused and informed the U.S. of the plans, which resulted in Lafitte fighting for Andrew Jackson in the Battle of New Orleans in 1815 and receiving a pardon from President James Madison. The paper relates that Laffite sailed to Mugeres Island, which is off the Yucatan coast, where he continued his pirating activities until sometime around the year of 1825 when he became "mortally ill," returned to the mainland, and died.

Laffite and Governor Claiborne
Laffite and General Jackson: The Battle of New Orleans
Laffite: The Hero
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The U.S. Army and Navy attacked Laffite and captured some of his ships. Laffite still announcing his loyalty to the United States offered his assistance to the worn and weary troops of General Andrew Jackson defending New Orleans in exchange for a full pardon for himself and his men. General Jackson accepted the proposition and Laffite and his men, now called the Baratarians, fought with all their might in the Battle of New Orleans, which took place in December of 1814 and January of 1815. General Jackson said that Laffite was "one of the ablest men" in battle and a proclamation of pardon was issued by James Madison, President, for Laffite and his men."

Abstract
This paper compares Michel Foucault and Jean-Francois Lyotard, both early postmodern philosophers, through the use of two of their works, as well as other sources. These works are Foucault's "The Body of the Condemned" and Lyotard's "The Postmodern Condition". In addition to these works, other information about Foucault and Lyotard is used to indicate the similarities and differences between these two works, their philosophies and their beliefs. While the two works are analyzed, the overall philosophies of Foucault and Lyotard are also addressed.
Outline:
Michel Foucault
Jean-Francois Lyotard
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Foucault fits into the general philosophical tradition, but it is the critical tradition, similar to Kant, and most of what Foucault writes about and proclaims is a very critical history where human nature and thought is concerned (Foucault, n.d.). This does not mean that the history of ideas that he discusses is also an analysis of the errors that might be seen when issues are examined after the fact. Instead, it should be taken to mean that Foucault's work is an analysis based on the relationship between object and subject, and what conditions are seen to either form or modify those relationships (Foucault, n.d.)."

Abstract
An essay on Jean-Jacques Rousseau, which discusses his works, ?The Social Contract? and ?Discourse on the Origin of Inequality.? It shows how Rousseau?s doctrine had a profound impact on French revolutionary thought, as well as socialist thought. Moreover, many believe he anticipated, rather than influenced, many insights of modern social psychology.
From the Paper
Jean-Jacques Rousseau lived from 1712-1778 during the height of the French Enlightenment. In 1762, he wrote ?The Social Contract? examining many of the difficulties concerning freedom and authority to determine how freedom might be possible in civil society. He believed that in the state of nature humans enjoy the physical freedom of having no restraints on behavior (Rousseau). However, by entering into the social contract, humans place restraints on behavior, thus making it possible to live in a community. Rousseau contends that by giving up physical freedom mankind gained the civil freedom of being able to think rationally, although, as humans were good in a state of nature, corruption must thus be born from civilization. Rousseau sought to harmonize one?s individual need for expression with society?s need to ensure the well-being of community life (Rousseau)."

Abstract
This paper looks at the life of Jean Piaget who was born in 1896 in Neuchatel in the French-speaking part of Switzerland.

The Stages of Cognitive Development
Piaget's Understanding Of the Mind of the Child
The Developmental Process
Influence
Developmental Psychology
Education
Historical Studies of Thought and Cognition
From the Paper
"While helping to mark the results of the responses to various intelligence tests, Piaget noticed that on certain question, young children consistently answered wrongly. He became intrigued with the fact that children at certain ages consistently adhered to the same pattern of mistakes, while they learned that their answers were wrong as they matured. In a moment of insight, Piaget reasoned that at certain stages of a child's life, a young child's cognitive processes, the way it thinks, is profoundly different from the thought process of an adult. Eventually, his research led him to set forth a theory of developmental stages in which he reasoned that in each of four stages of development, individuals exhibit certain distinctive common cognitive patterns."

Table of Contents:
Results
Analysis
Recommendations
Summary
From the Paper
"The following are the top five leaning needs and recommendations for this contingent. There is a need to revise the BSN curriculum to create a transtheoretical approach to teaching nursing models, which specifically involves integrating more prominently the nursing theory teachings of Jean Watson, particularly for integrated use in clinical instruction and practice (Watson & Smith, 2002; Morgan, 2006). Thus a timeline must be established in order to accommodate the main activities of the curriculum revision: Content development for instructors, instructor tutorial proper, assessment and further content refinement for classroom instruction and preparation of materials for classroom instruction. Given the timeline for 2008, this must be done at the soonest convenient time."

Jean Watson, 2006.
An analysis of Jean Watson's views on nursing and health care.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the theory of Jean Watson, who situated nursing and health at the very center of human nature and as our source of unity. The paper claims that Watson was chosen because she focused on what had often been neglected in nursing - the spiritual dimension of the person and maintains that her position helps nurses to view nursing in an entirely different light.
From the Paper
"Jean Watson Introduction Jean Watson situated nursing and health at the very center of human nature and as our source of unity. She maintained that "the task of nursing and health and healing is related to the very nature of our shared humanity" (Watson, 2003, p. 197). Watson was chosen because she focused on what had often been neglected in nursing: the spiritual dimension of the person. Furthermore, her theory is derived from her own values, beliefs, and experiences. Watson's framework fits nursing perfectly since her theory is based on becoming, knowing, and doing."

Jean De Crevecoeur's "What is an American", 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that Jean De Crevecoeur's "What is an American" presents an important historical precedent in defining the American Dream. The author points out that early America offered a wide variety of different farming lands, which gave hope to Europeans that were destitute in their native countries. The paper relates the importance of Crevecoeur's investigative historical approach helps define the experiences of these Europeans in how America had become, in his time, a safe haven for farming and a more opportunistic way of life.
From the Paper
"This historical perspective relates am important theme of the way that Americans are defined in "What is an America" by Michel-Guillaume Jean De Crevecoeur. By using European cultural integration within the theme of being "American", Crevecoeur essentially reveals how opportunity has made America a nation of many cultures and ethnicities. In being a new nation that could welcome the destitute of Europe to begin new lives, early America becomes the 'dream' of wealth and prosperity for those that have the courage and industriousness to be pioneers. This historical perspective is worth reading due to the information gathering techniques used by Crevecoeur in relation to the American Dream."

Jean Piaget, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that, before the time of Jean Piaget, theories of knowledge were considered to be a part of philosophical learning, but Piaget turned studies of cognition into a science in its own right. The author points out that Piaget did not consider himself foremost a child psychologist but rather believed that, by looking at the ways children learn to think, it is possible to better understand the ways in which knowledge in general is acquired. The paper relates in detail Piaget's classification system of the mental development of children.
From the Paper
"Another interesting comparison can be drawn between Piaget's work and that of Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934). Vygotsky asserted that a child's learning was "not a solitary exploration by a child of the environment ... but rather a process of appropriation by the child of culturally relevant behavior." This theory of social constructivism asserts that cognitive development "can be understood as the transformation of basic, biologically determined processes into higher physiological functions." In other words, children are born with a diverse range of perceptual, attentional and memory capacities which are substantially transformed in the context of socialization and education. "

Abstract
This paper looks at the works of St. Jean De Crevecueur and Tom Paine, both from the early Puritan period, one a Frenchman and one an Englishman who defined the America as seen through their own eyes and illustrated contrary ideas of the new world that was to come. Thomas Paine focused directly upon the United States' aims and objectives by influencing the breaking off of America from England in order for the country to expand itself and be its own free government. Crevecueur saw it being an abundant, affluent and liberated country rich in agriculture.
From the Paper
"Thomas Paine?s Common Sense, focused directly upon the United States' aims and objectives by influencing the disjoined of America from England in order for the country to expand itself and be its own free government. Thus, he utilized the metaphor of a "young oak" that became "full grown" in order to symbolize as well as encourage this change. In the novel, Common Sense, the most general theme that run throughout the novel was growth that had to do directly with the extensive landscape, the distended population of the United States, the government system that was becoming more like an adult independent who has grown- up to the mother country and the abundant soil of the Americas, which all reflected and helped to give this rising country (A. Owen, 1984)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the work of Jean Michel Basquiat. It first focuses on his life, which is the defining source of his work. It further discusses his multicultural heritage which often is within his work, and it discusses how Basquiat learned about his life as he learned about his art. Several of his paintings are discussed from the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
From the Paper
"Fans and critics alike have closely scrutinized the work of the late artist, Jean-Michel Basquiat. Critical analysis contends that Basquiat's work cannot be considered in league with great art because it lacks the maturity, and skill that is found in the work of history's primary painters. Those who believe that there is value within Basquiat's work believe that the modern expression within each painting is a statement of the society of our time. Filled with With these facts in mind, it is of further significance to realize that through his work Basquiat was presenting a commentary on his life, his knowledge, and the society in which he lived ("Basquiat"). The Brooklyn Museum of Art states that Basquiat worked around six central themes."
