Conclusion
From the Paper
"Ichthyosaur fossils were discovered in the late nineteenth century, before the first dinosaur fossils were discovered, and received little acclaim. It wasn?t until the recent discovery a few years ago of a small amount of new specimens in Japan and China that a wider interest in ichthyosaurs? was revived. The ichthyosaur is a fish-shaped tetrapod of the diapsid family. Tetrapod means four-limbed vertebrate. Diapsids are classified as having two openings in the skull and is a classification that encompasses reptiles and birds. There is much fossil evidence to support the conclusion that ichthyosaurs were descended from terrestrial, or land-dwelling, reptiles. One such example is that Ichthyosaurs were air-breathers like cetaceans."

It looks at how this expanding availability of drugs that can be used to change appearance, cognitive and physical capacities is changing the social fabric of culture and poses a difficult challenge to healthcare service providers. It also discusses whether there is any actual physiological need for lifestyle drugs and contends that lifestyle drugs are a fact of modern culture and will continue to play an ever-increasing role in economy-health-society model.

From the Paper
"A key element in the consideration of lifestyle drugs is how they are to be paid for. These new lifestyle drugs come at a time when health care budgets are universally stretched, funding of these drugs could only come at the expense of other more traditional medical treatments.
Lifestyle drugs which address impotence, hair loss, smoking cessation and obesity are rapidly increasing their market share of the pharmaceutical market (Dickman, 2001). In this regard, the pharmaceutical industry has made significant increases to their direct to consumer advertising, from 790million USD in 1996 to 1.8billion USD in 1999 in America alone (IMS Health Report, 2000). In the UK it was predicted that sildenafil alone would cost the health care system 1.3billion GBP (Beecham, 1999), actual costings so far haven't reached these proportions. However, health care budgets could be threatened by wide spread use of lifestyle drugs, especially since sildenafil is only the first of a new wave of lifestyle drugs. "

Consumer Behaviors and Their Environmental Influence
From the Paper
"LOHAS is an acronym for Lifestyles of health and sustainability. They are comprised of a segment of the population who has made the conscious decision to leave as small a destructive footprint on earth as they can manage. They see the impact of years of careless mismanagement of the earth's resources and they aim to reverse the mindset that American's are unwilling to pay more for goods that are obtained in an ecologically sustainable manner. This market segment emerged from a desire to have food free from pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals. As their knowledge grew and more products became available their interests turned to solar energy, windmill energy, energy efficient appliances, natural and herbal health products, cleaning supplies, clothes derived from all natural fabrics and homes built from sustainable materials.

Pets and Lifestyle, 2008.
This paper is a research project to study the relationship of pet ownership and a healthier lifestyle and life-satisfaction.

Abstract
This paper states that the hypothesis for this study is that pet owners would have a healthier lifestyle and a higher life-satisfaction rating than non-owners. The author reports that the participants of this study consisted of a group of 100 students who elected to take this survey for class credit. The author relates that the results of this study did not support this hypothesis suggesting that there was no significant relationship between pet ownership and lifestyle choices or life-satisfaction. The paper concludes that the reason this study contradicts previous studies, which revealed a positive relationship between pet ownership, health, and well-being, is that the sample was young, lived with other people and was not random.

One example question is "how would you rate your life-satisfaction?" And the responses available included: very satisfied, fairly satisfied, unsure, fairly unsatisfied, and very unsatisfied. The same format was used to ask questions regarding behaviors such as smoking, drinking, and fast food intake."

Lifestyle Hotels in Modern Shanghai, 2004.
A comprehensive examination of the popular housing alternative in 21st century Shanghai known as lifestyle hotels.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper develops the argument that a small lifestyle hotel will not be able to finance itself without a combination of apartment units; sales of the apartment units will serve to generate an enormous amount of the revenue required to pay back to creditors in comparison to just selling a hotel room on a daily basis. The goal of the paper is to determine the outcome of both approaches using the positive and phenomenologist approaches. A brief discussion of Shanghai?s current and future opportunities and challenges is followed by a review of these two methodological approaches to research. A determination of the appropriateness of one over the other is then followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"Background and Overview. According to Wakeman and Yeh (1992), the tenfold increase in Shanghai's population between 1842 and 1945 was largely a result of Chinese immigration from the countryside into the city, especially into the International Settlement (which doubled in numbers between 1895 and 1910 and doubled again between 1910 and 1930) and the French Concession (which almost tripled between 1895 and 1915 and more than tripled again between 1915 and 1930). ?From the 1850s on, each new social disturbance in the interior sent tens of thousands of Chinese refugees to Shanghai, seeking protection under the English and French flags? (Wakeman & Yeh 1992, p. 1). Since the Communist victory in 1949, however, Shanghai has emerged as an industrial giant whose products supply China's growing domestic demands. The city has also experience pronounced physical changes with the establishment of industrial suburbs and housing complexes, the improvement of public works, and the creation of parks and other recreational facilities (Shanghai 2004)."

Abstract
Detailed description of the effect of stress, substance abuse, diet and exercise on cardiovascular health. It is written in simple phrasing and medical terms are explained.
From the Paper
"Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) result in 1/3 of global death in 1999. According to a World Health Organization report, CVD will become the leading cause of death in developed countries by 2010. Although genetic influence could trigger off underlying cause, most experts recognize that lifestyle influence still remain the most important factor for CVD through suppression of the disease. Lifestyle factors refer to options made on a daily basis with alternatives provided. A combination of unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle, high level of stress and drugs can prove detrimental to the cardiovascular system."

Abstract
The paper evaluates the theories related to women's lifestyle choices in the modern world. The paper discusses how women possess the choice to work outside the home, to bear children and to balance these objectives as they seek to satisfy a lifestyle that is best suited for their own personal needs. The paper explains how in this context, women possess their own options and must act upon them whenever possible.
From the Paper
"In modern society, there are a number of key issues that are commonly raised after women bear children, as they possess many choices after this life-changing event has taken place. For instance, it is a woman's prerogative to return to her place of employment, or she might consider remaining in the household as a stay-at-home mother. Regardless of her choice, it is critical that she is given the right to make such a decision from her own free will, regardless of her external environment. There are a number of theories that have evolved with regards to these circumstances and they reflect the ever-changing conditions of the modern world and the importance of a woman's ability to make decisions independently at all times. The following discussion will evaluate relevant research related to the ability to make choices regarding life circumstances after childbirth."

The Abercrombie and Fitch Lifestyle, 2004.
Describes the advertising tactics of the Abercrombie and Fitch clothing store.
2,298 words (approx. 9.2 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 70.95
»

Abstract
This paper discusses the controversial advertisements of Abercrombie and Fitch. The paper points out the company's reliance on sexual images to advertise its products and the controversy this advertising strategy has created. The paper points out that, while using nude models to advertise clothing may seem contradictory, it is actually quite effective. The intent of these advertisements is to sell an image and then make consumers associate that image with the product. This is the objective of Abercrombie and Fitch and the reason for the controversy. The paper goes on to explain that parents and the general public feel that the image being sold promotes a lifestyle without morals or values and that these advertisements have too much influence on adolescent behavior. Attached after the bibliography are two of the advertisements described in the paper.
From the Paper
"Starring an alluring, bare, sexy, young model, with her mesmerizing green eyes transfixed on an outlying point, one would naturally think that this sensual black and white photograph could have nothing to do with clothing. Her petite arms are crossed diagonally along her torso, with her hands covering each breast barely. Her long, wavy, brown hair is lying messily in front of one shoulder and behind the other. The look on her face is serious, seriously seductive, that is. She is wearing nothing, leaving only what is behind her hands to the viewer?s imagination. One shift of her fingers, and you just might see everything."

Abstract
A look at how companies pitch their products to appeal to their customers' lifestyles. Theories of marketing and advertising strategies are examined. The Marlboro Cigarette company's advertising pitch of the Marlboro Man is analyzed in order to understand the link between products and lifestyles.
From the Paper
"There are two significant steps how a customer decides whether he or she will buy the product or not. First, the product has a strong appeal if it is a primary need of the customer for its literal function. Second, customers will buy the product if they find their value or lifestyle is related to it; this one is that the product makers mostly will encourage to boosting the sales. Advertisement should be designed effectively to bring the product value to the primary need of the customers, as if they really need it, by exploiting the different side of customers? life, then finding catchy lines to persuade them (in seconds) to improve their style, to get more acknowledgement, or to be ?like the man on TV?."

National Socialism and the Germany Lifestyle, 2002.
Examines National Socialism's effect on ordinary life in Germany during the rise of Hitler to power, using Brecht's "Fear and Misery of the Third Reich" as a reference.

Abstract
"Fear and Misery of the Third Reich" was written by Brecht in the late 1930's and completed shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War. In a series of twenty-four self-contained scenes or 'playlets', he purported to chronicle the period between Hitler's installation as German Chancellor in January 1933 and the Nazi entry into Vienna following the Anschluss with Austria in 1938. Brecht's aim was to demonstrate how deeply and disastrously National Socialism had effected ordinary life in Germany during this period. As he himself described it, this play is, "...a catalogue of attitudes, the attitudes of keeping silent, looking over one's shoulder, feeling frightened etc. - behavior in a dictatorship".

Abstract
The paper explores and compares the two works, "Wuthering Heights" by Bronte and "Pride and Prejudice" by Austen, and analyzes them based on biographical elements found in each book obviously drawn from their authors' lives. The character, themes and settings are also discussed.
From the Paper
"The novels of Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen are vastly dependent on their settings to convey both character behavior, and the lifestyles of their respective authors. At first, from their opening paragraphs, one does not realize the gulf of difference that separates these works. Both begin with the leasing of a property to a man of some mystery. However the similarities end there."

"What determines the won or lost category for those cells in our bodies is what we take in our bodies as food; "Their sole source of energy is the food you give them," Carper continues, and the latest and best research available validates the "long-held human wisdom that food does have medicinal powers."
Indeed, since the emergence of human civilizations, people have relied on "forests, fields and gardens" for our medicines, and roughly 75 percent of the people in the world still do rely on the forests, fields and gardens for their sustenance. Carper alludes to the wisdom of James Duke, a botanist and specialist in medicinal plants with the U.S Department of Agriculture, who believes that "if a food has a wide folklore reputation as a remedy for specific diseases," that in itself provides "some proof" of that food's "potential validity" (Carper, 5).

The Ichthyosaurs, 2005.
This paper discusses the evolution of the Ichthyosaurs, one of the most diverse orders of extinct marine reptiles.
2,085 words (approx. 8.3 pages), 18 sources, MLA, $ 65.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the Ichthyosaurs had a unique path of evolution traveling from lizard-like creatures frolicking along the coastal edge to reptiles swimming in the ocean's depths, including their development of fins from feet. The author points out that the Ichthyosaurs inhabited the Mesozoic ocean, appearing approximately 20 million years prior to dinosaurs, around 250 million years ago and became extinct earlier, approximately 90 million years ago. The paper relates that the Ichthyosaurs seemed well-adapted to their environment, which allowed them to survive for approximately 155 million years, yet why ichthyosaurs became extinct is still uncertain.

Overview of Ichthyosaurus
Ichthyosaurs Fin Evolution
Ichthyosaurs Eyes
Ichthyosaurs Vertebrae Evolution
Ichthyosaurs Swimming Evolution
Ichthyosaurs as Predecessors to Birds

Extinction of Ichthyosaurs
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Ichthyosaur fossils found near Holzmaden, Germany support this theory. A number of complete fossils were found in a quarry, in this southern part of Germany. Of these fossils, a large percentage was either babies or mothers carrying their young. In fact, it is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the females found in this deposit had fossilized embryos preserved inside of them. It's possible that some act of nature, rather than an instinctual return to a breeding or birthing ground, was the cause for this phenomenon. Waves or currents can sometimes wash bones into a small area, giving the deposit a denser than natural appearance. However, the Holzmaden fossils are preserved in perfect formation, which leads to the assumption that they were not moved."

Abstract
The paper reveals that genetic predisposition to Type 1 diabetes alone cannot explain the overall rate of increase of this disease among children. The paper proposes three research methods in which the lifestyle backgrounds of parents with children who have Type 1 diabetes can be addressed. The paper explains that the purpose of this research is to identify a methodology that best assesses the parents' lifestyle choices to see if there is evidence of behaviors that may influence the onset of Type 1 diabetes in children.
Outline:
Introduction
Statement of the Problem
Purpose of the Paper
Part I: Qualitative Case Study Method
Part II: Qualitative Action Research Method
Part III: Qualitative Critical Literature Review Method
From the Paper
"Research into diabetes in children is a health care issue, a family care issue, and can emerge into a social issue if the child's status as a diabetic affects his or her personal health outcomes (Neumark-Sztainer et al, 2002; American Diabetes Association, 2006; Becker & Goldfine, 2006; Eppens et al, 2006). Incidences of Type 2 diabetes have increased dramatically over the last three decades due to environmental factors that predispose adults, adolescents, and children to acquire a disease typically referred to as "adult-onset diabetes" (American Diabetes Association, 2006; Becker & Goldfine, 2006; Eppens et al, 2006). However, Type 1 diabetes has been almost exclusively linked to genetic factors in humans, as this is a genetic disease that is passed along from the parents to the child within the child's genome (American Diabetes Association, 2006; Becker & Goldfine, 2006; Eppens et al, 2006)."
