Abstract
This paper presents an application statement tp an M.Ed program at York University in Canada. The author reflects upon, not only his qualifications for candidacy to this program, but also the reasons why he believes his admittance will allow him to contribute both to the graduate community of the university and to Canada's diverse multicultural community. The author points out that it is difficult to describe to someone who has lived his life in this diverse and intellectually-rich country the incredible sense of liberation one feels in being able to read a newspaper or watch local media that one knows has not been reviewed by state censors. The paper stresses that the author feels that his experiences as an immigrant, as well as his educational experience in learning English as a second language, represent critical advantages in his aspiration to teach students in Canada.
From the Paper
"This being said, I must also note that my perspective as an immigrant has shaped my teaching practice in this country in that I am highly cognizant of how the economic contribution immigrants and immigration have made to Canada is dependent upon the building of bridges between the diverse cultures of Canada's immigrant communities. For the future growth and development of Canada it is of prime importance that all of Canada's immigrant populations are engaged and feel their perspectives and contributions are valued by Canada's host English and French cultures."

Breaking the Democrats' Ownership of Education, 2002.
How Bush mastered the education debate in the 2000 presidential elections.
4,102 words (approx. 16.4 pages), 10 sources, APA, $ 110.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the education debate in the 2000 presidential election between Al Gore and George W. Bush. It concludes that Bush put together a focused campaign on the issue, driven by talk of school accountability and backed by his education record in Texas, that the Gore campaign was never able to solidly refute. Gore had the lead on the education debate and had stances on education issues that more closely matched those of the average voter, but his campaign was unable to put together a cohesive message on education and in turn could not fight off Bush's advances. In exploring the education debate, this paper considers the idea of issue ownership in campaigns and how Bush overall made up significant ground in the election by pushing on traditionally Democratic issues like education, Social Security, and Medicare. This paper relies heavily on commercials run by each campaign, speeches delivered by each candidate during the race, and the reflections of those working at the top of each campaign.
From the Paper
"When it comes to issues that are regularly at the forefront of American presidential campaigns, education is an anomaly in one particular respect: The president of the United States by and large has very little meaningful impact on what takes place in and around the nation?s schools. Granted, the federal government has played an increasingly important role in funding the nation?s public schools since the enacting of Title I in 1965. And various rulings by federal courts and pieces of legislation by Congress over the years have provided some general guidance to education in this country. But by all accounts, Washington ?especially the Executive Branch ? plays only a marginal role in shaping what takes place in America?s classrooms and how the country?s schoolchildren learn and perform. In terms of education the president is, at most, a distant consultant, offering a vision for what U.S. schools should be doing in a general sense, while perhaps forwarding a piece of legislation or two that may advance the cause; at the least, he is a prominent cheerleader for educational causes being carried out at the state and local level. Either way, the president?s influence on schools and education pales in comparison to that exerted by state and local governments, school boards, teachers unions, and parent groups."

The application essay is written by a Taiwanese student applying for a Masters of Science in taxation. The writer discusses his recent move from Taiwan to the United States, and all the cultural difficulties that come with that decision.

From the Paper
"Taiwan was at that respective period in life my entire universe. I had never left the country, I had been surrounded by family and friends and had grown in a tradition that encouraged and encourages a close bond with the family. Work was also very special. I had a privileged chance of entering the TDK Company in Taiwan at an early age and stay there up to coming to America. The Eastern cultures, Taiwan included, propose a different structure at the workplace, with the colleagues forming a second family and the managers cultivating such close bonds with the company you work at."

Abstract
This paper presents an application to the United States Army internship program with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. It describes the advantages for the writer of being admitted to the Master of Policy Management Program at Georgetown University and how this will help to further the writer's aims and ambitions. The paper also describes the writer's qualities and achievements up until this point.
From the Paper
"Lastly, and most importantly, I wish to underscore how obtaining the degree of Master of Policy Management at Georgetown University will contribute mightily to my personal and professional goals. Most obviously, as I think anyone who has attended Georgetown can attest, the program will bolster my ability to engage in economic analysis of public policy, will strengthen my decision-making abilities and will bless me with highly-developed integrative skills permitting simultaneous evaluation of the analytic, management and advocacy issues pertaining to a specific policy matter (Georgetown Public Policy Institute, "MPM Degree Requirements," general syllabus). By honing these skills to an elite level, I expect to see - from a strictly professional stand-point - my ability to move laterally as well as upwardly increased substantially; I also anticipate that the rigorous education I receive at Georgetown will give me the personal satisfaction that can only come through arduous study and constant self-reflection."

Bilingual Education, 2006.
This paper discusses the urgent need for bilingual education to bring foreign-born students up to the level of their American born counterparts.
2,497 words (approx. 10.0 pages), 18 sources, MLA, $ 75.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the various reasons why bilingual education is not only necessary but also effective. The writer of this paper stresses the need for bilingual education as a step to wean students from their native language as effectively as possible and to get them into the educational mainstream. Critics of bilingual education believe that non-English speaking students are not sufficiently mastering the English language and as a result low test scores prove that education is failing them in both their native as well as their second language.
From the Paper
"For children in primary, secondary, or even college level grades, as well as for their parents, bilingual education is a "must". Money must be found to develop and maintain a number of such bilingual programs. Bilingual education is, to repeat, a transitional step to wean school children from their native language, as effectively as possible, and to get them into the educational mainstream."

Kouriyama is also a large city with a population of 189,710. I returned to my parents at the age of one, after my mother decided to leave her current job and our family moved to Takahata, Yamagata, to assist in the family business."

This article concerns a personal statement in which the writer states a life-long desire to be a film-maker. This article serves as a college application in the field of film-making. The writer states a belief that everyone has the potential never to stop growing until the day one dies and that is a reason why film appeals to the writer so.

From the Paper
"As a film-maker, I want to be able to resurrect a great figure, pull back the veil of mystery surrounding a famous crime, or capture the spirit of a by-gone era. For reasons such as those, I am especially interested in cinematography and in editing - but I am eager to explore and to learn about all aspects of the film-making process."
"As a citizen, my goal is constant personal evolution. I believe that each of us has the potential to never stop growing until the day we die and that is one other reason why film appeals to me so: at its core, it is the most dynamic of all the creative arts - it gives life and motion to words on a page, after all - and I want to experience the pleasure of constantly molding and crafting a living, breathing, growing film until I am finally satisfied that it has been "done right"."

Application of Nursing Models, 2007.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that as the demands on nurses and the nursing profession have increased over the last several decades, it became evident to many nursing professionals that the ideology related to nursing practice had to be changed. The writer notes that cultural, environmental and mind-body considerations were significantly important because these factors were known to impact patients and their health. However, the writer points out that as more information became available through practice, it was also apparent that each person had to be evaluated independently in order for health care professionals to have a clear idea of all issues that affected the patient's well being. The writer then discusses that Roy, Neuman and Leininger each developed approaches to nursing practice that were intended to provide a well established vision of the person, which could be used in preventative medicine, as well as in the event of illness. These theories lead nurses to be capable of treating the whole individual, while providing the quality care that nursing is intended to ensure.
Outline:
Introduction
Leininger and the Transcultural Nursing Model
Application of Lieninger's Sunrise Model
Environment and Population
Cultural Values
Religious and Philosophical Factors
Kinship and Social Factors
Political and Legal Factors
Economic Factors
Educational Factors
Health Care System
Roy Adaptation Model
Application of the Roy Adaptation Model
Scientific and Philosophical Elements
Self-Concept and Group Identity
Role Function
Environment
Health and Adaptation
Nursing
Neuman Systems Model
Application of the Neuman Systems Model
Basic Structure/Energy Resources
Stressors
Line of Resistance
Optimal System Stability
Prevention/Intervention and Nursing
From the Paper
"The transcultural model, therefore, is comprised of numerous factors that must be taken into consideration if the proper care is to be presented for each individual patient. The most significant of these factors is culture. According to Leininger, the culture that an individual belongs to affects every aspect of that individual's existence. The elements associated with a culture are taught to the person from the time of birth and consistently impact thought, religious beliefs, behaviors and how the person relates to the health care environment."

McTighe/Wiggins and Marzano on Public Education, 2008.
A comparative analysis between two books regarding the improvement of public education: "Understanding by Design" by Jay McTighe and Grant Wiggins and "What Works: Translating Research into Action" by Robert Marzano.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts McTigheand Wiggins' "Understanding by Design" and Marzano's "What Works in Schools", which both address the problems facing public school education. The paper points out that McTighe and Wiggins propose what they call a "backward planning design process." That is, before one designs a learning experience one needs to identify the desired results, the evidence that will illustrate these results and finally the method best suited for reaching these results. The paper contrasts this with Marzano's approach, noting that it differs mainly because Marzano views a master teacher as analogous to a chess master, with strategies to recognize and exploit thousands of situations. The paper further explains that Marzano's book seeks to provide teachers with a vast repertoire of tools for evaluating and then meeting the needs of students. The paper concludes that although the two articles have very different styles and starting points, they both offer a great deal of advice for instruction and complement each other by providing different approaches for taking what research says about learning and using it to improve instruction.
From the Paper
"In dealing with student level factors, Marzano presents research investigating the assumption of many educational reports, which claim that factors involving the student's background and home life are the greatest determinants of academic success. Since the home is outside of the school or teacher's direct control, Marzano presents more of an explanation of how students learn. Under "Student Motivation", he outlines how teachers can enhance and use student motivation including ways to give feedback, provide engaging tasks and opportunities for students to construct long-term work of their own design. These sections parallel Wiggins and McTighe as they are authentic examples of "instruction by design.""

Slaves and Masters, 2005.
An analysis of the differences in perceptions between slaves and masters.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 1 source, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the differences in perceptions under the institution of slavery can be startling, to say the least. The way in which the same event is understood alternately by slaves and by their masters is dramatic. It examines three potential events in an imaginative fashion, suggesting different understandings for both slaves and masters. The events examined include marriage, the death of a master and a slave sale.
From the Paper
"The differences in perceptions under the institution of slavery can be startling, to say the least. The way in which the same event is understood alternately by slaves and by their masters is dramatic. Of course, it would be reductive to imagine that perceptions about events through slavery are monolithic. Individual slaves and individual slave-owners might well have had differing perspectives on the events around them. However, for the sake of this study we can assume that, on average across the whole of the institution in the United States, there were commonly held perceptions that affected the way in which people on both sides of this institution were viewed. This paper will examine three potential events in an imaginative fashion, suggesting different understandings for both slaves and masters. The events examined will include marriage, the death of a master, and a slave sale."

Abstract
This paper gives a description of the college applicant. It highlights the
experiences that have been critical in shaping the applicant's understanding of broadcasting and television as team productions and describes the applicant's leadership qualities and technical skills. The paper also discusses an aspect of the Canadian communications industry in which the applicant is interested.
From the Paper
"Although I am still a teenager, I have been fascinated with the fields of broadcasting and communication for as long as I can remember. It was as a freshman and sophomore in High School that I first studied television broadcasting as an academic subject; gaining knowledge of the range of television programming while also acquiring hands-on experience at live video production and post-production editing techniques. Later, as a participant in the Advanced Television Production course - a class recommended for those interested in careers in communications - I had the opportunity to work as a camera operator, video editor, writer and talent director. I am particularly proud that some of my packages, montages, and remotes were selected for broadcast on the school's morning announcements, as well as for air on the local cable channel."
