The Affects of the Moving Assembly Line on American Society, 2006.
A look at how the moving assembly line used by the automotive industry had a significant impact on American society.

Abstract
This manufacturing study will examine the evolution of the assembly line production used within the American automobile industry. By examining "Asphalt Nation" by Jane Holtz, one can realize how greater reliance on mass produced manufactured goods on the moving assembly greatly lowered demand for handcrafted items in specialized labor. In this manner, Holtz, defines the increasing reliance on automobile manufacturers to create cars through this process to give greater access for travel in the middle classes. The great industrial revolutions of England and those that occurred within America in the 19th century help one to realize how more customers could have access to certain products. In the case of the automobile, Henry Ford sought to make it possible to give every American a car.

'Moving Chairs, and Why It's Cool' by Timothy J. King", 2006.
A review of timothy J. King's article 'Moving Chairs, and Why It's Cool'.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this paper, King proposes healthy and communicative responses to management strata relationships that were successful within his own experiences. According to the paper, King's view is that the use of dialogues and meetings is a crucial for efficient production, which invariably offers a revolving leadership system through his is symbolic usage of moving chairs. However, more studies should be done to evaluate the real effectiveness of this form of leadership before one should confront the authority of middle and upper management.
From the Paper
J. Timothy King provides an article that is based upon the "moving chairs" of leadership within a small sized corporate atmosphere. The first premise of leadership is many things go unnoticed, especially when communicating a change in management policy. King is often portraying himself in the article as a subordinate that has to work with upper management through a review based initiative that is often erroneous. However, King brings the moving chair element into communicating with his superiors within the review process, which ultimately has him influencing how policy is made within the company. In this manner, King is subjectively redefining the hierarchical role of worker/manager by breaking down barriers through communication and regular meetings. "

"Moving Violations", 2006.
An analysis and critique of John Hockenberry's memoir, "Moving Violations".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay examines the memoir "Moving Violations," by John Hockenberry. The paper draws its critique from textual evidence, such as common themes and motifs in the book, in order to illuminate its premise that the book is a call for universalism. The paper calls the book, which chronicles the author's experiences as a paraplegic living in both America and the Middle East, an eye-opening tale of disability as a global issue. Arguing that Hockenberry's book is a statement of sameness, even in the face of difference, the paper maintains that Hockenberry wishes to convey through his own experiences that we all have much to learn from one another's differences. Ultimately, the paper concludes, Hockenberry's diverse life experiences have led him to advocate celebrating differences, providing equal opportunities and approaching limitations together as a community.
From the Paper
"We remember Hockenberry's view is that one is perceived to be weak in America if they are disabled. However, during the Palestinian uprising, one would take one glance at Radwan in his own country and just as people have many times assumed John Hockenberry was some kind of a war hero, one would assume the same of Radwan. In the Middle East, while it was considered weakness to be disabled in America, it was considered a kind of bravery and strength to be disabled in this region of the Middle East. It is evident in Hockenberry's account that many places in Israel are utterly inaccessible for wheelchairs. If the nation were all that mattered to people like Radwan, then it would not matter that his life is made to end in a single heroic act. But what about those to whom it does matter? Hockenberry states his belief that this is the wrong way to go about disability."

Abstract
A problem/solution essay from the first person point of view dealing with the hardships of moving. It explains how one person is prepared to overcome the loneliness that is now a major part of their lives in order to regain a new sense of self.
From the Paper
"As red eyes continued to overflow with salty tears, so did the clouds continue to pour forth a ceaseless torrent of rain upon the ground, smashing straight as stair rods onto the soil, making it little more than a reflection of how I felt: damaged. Staring hopelessly out a small window, smudge marks not quite marring the depressing sight of dark forbidding clouds, I felt empty and alone. In order to relieve myself of boredom I had pulled my little address book off the shelf and started to read it. It contained the numbers and addresses of all the places and friends I had left behind when I had moved. Suddenly I realized that I would not be able to see my dear friends for a long time, and so clutching the tiny book tightly in my hands, firmly holding it against my chest, I wept. Having just moved, I knew no one but my family, and so I let tears flow at the dismal prospect of having to sit indoors alone, without a friend close by."

Abstract
This paper explains that Australia is underpopulated as far as its size, but over two-thirds of the population resides in any one of the ten major cities on the coast, which makes Australia one of the most urbanized counties in the world. The author points out that, even though the national language in Australia is English, the accent, style of speaking, and parts of the traditional vocabulary greatly differ from American English and is slightly difficult to get a grasp of in the beginning. The paper lists many social customs: Hand shakes are a common way to greet someone, Australians are keen on answering their invitations at the first possible moment, and an invitation to a dinner, even by a friend or a peer, usually means separate checks.

From the Paper
"Past social legislation guaranteed all American citizens entitlements to food, shelter, and other basic necessities. This social contract, which prevented the need for triage, was the foundation of the American state for fifty years. In the name of personal responsibility, welfare reform has destroyed the entitlements of dependent populations. According to the welfare reform scenario, Americans would survive only by taking responsibility for themselves?the shiftless and irresponsible would lose their life-support system and sink or swim on their own."

Keeping Shakespeare Moving, 2001.
This paper discusses the differences between William Shakespeare's works on screen or in print.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The following paper attempts to show that people enjoy Shakespeare for a variety of reasons. It shows how some people are used to enjoying the amount of Shakespeare a filmmaker can fit into a two hour film, while others enjoy reading it in full. In this essay the writer attempts to show that, whether on film or in print, anyone who enjoys Shakespeare knows that imagination is key to enjoying it.
From the paper:
"But there are differences between the choices of experiencing Shakespeare. With a book, you can pause and come back to it later; you can digest it at your own pace. You can also reread certain passages and study the text more intensely than you can actors in a film. A lot of Shakespeare's speeches state the same thing several ways, so that the audience at a live performance can catch what's going on. When reading that speech, you can enjoy the entire thing without worrying about keeping up".

From the Paper
John Hockenberry's autobiography Moving Violations, A Memoir: War Zones, Wheelchairs, and Declarations of Independence is successful for a variety of reasons. He is a gifted writer, a masterful storyteller, and a man who has overcome an automobile accident at the age of nineteen which left him paralyzed from the waist down. He has lived a remarkable and fascinating life as a world-travelling journalist, and, most importantly, demonstrates not only a powerful determination to succeed at his profession and enjoy life, but also an inspirational sense of humor in the most harrowing of situations. He never uses his disability as an excuse, but instead paints a self-portrait which finally transcends that disability. As he writes in the final words of the book, referring to a Somalian boy who is on the verge of starving to death: "The thin boy could not have survived for long..."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Technology is reshaping the way people live their lives today in profound and sometimes unexpected ways. Indeed, the concept of using something new is always frightening for some people, and even proponents of technological solutions caution that they can actually do more harm than good when they are not used in appropriate and meaningful ways that justify the investment required to apply them in the workplace. Nevertheless, the trend is unmistakable; the spread of technology is growing, and many businesses may ?leap before they look? in order to avoid being left behind in the race for success on the Information Highway. In order to achieve the best return on investment in technology, it is important to understand just what it is and how it can help the ordinary individual or business become more successful. To this end, this paper provides an overview of how technological solutions, particularly computers, the Internet, and other information systems technology can be used to help individuals and organizations achieve their goals, while identifying the obstacles and constraints that have been associated with the deployment of new technological solutions by some businesses today. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"The technological revolution of businesses has different impacts on different industries as such; each industry has to align its business strategy with the communications technology strategy that fits its needs. In the banking industry the most profound effect is the e-banking or e-commerce banking. For instance, ATM, credit cards, debit cards, smart cards, and on-line lending via the Internet are considered electronic commerce banking. Thus, the reality of these technological innovations in the marketplace and their subsequent implementation in the banking industry require an immediate realignment of banking industry functions in order to remain competitive."

How and Why to Keep the Student with ADHD Moving, 2007.
An in-depth study of an alternative method of teaching children suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
While acknowledging the contributions of medication, behavioral and social therapy, neurological/cognitive/brain-based training and environmental changes, this paper focuses on the evidence supporting the use of physical exercise as a treatment option. The author presents a case for children who have ADHD and suggests that making use of their inability to sit still can be channeled into specific, patterned movement (i.e. dance, martial arts, exercise) to stimulate brain activity and reinforce neurological connections that will facilitate focus and learning. Besides a review of scholarly journal articles, the paper also includes a case study that illustrates how one child with ADHD has benefited from spending half his day at school and the other half in a professional dance program (20+ hours a week).
Outline:
Definition, Prevalence, Comorbidity, Symptoms and Outcomes of ADHD
Neurological Information
Treatment Options
Case Study
From the Paper
"The frontal lobe region of the cerebral cortex allows for the planning and execution of complex and complicated tasks. We often refer to the activity of this portion of the brain as executive function, and we think that children with ADHD have deficits in executive functioning" (Schlozman & Schlozman, 2000). ADHD brains develop in fundamentally different ways. Yong (2007) reports how researchers from the National Institute of Mental Health found that ADHD brains develop on a delayed schedule. While the brain's four lobes develop in very much the same way, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed that that the thickness of the child's cerebral cortex differed from those of typical children. Life experiences make connections between nerve cells and the cortex thickens, with unused connections being trimmed away. Because these researchers found that ADHD brains matured about three years later, they consider ADHD a "disorder of delay, not deviance". Delays in the lateral prefrontal cortex in particular explain why children with ADHD have trouble "suppressing inappropriate thoughts and actions, directing attention, short-term memory and controlling movement." On the other hand, the primary motor cortex which helps to plan and control movements matured faster. These differences in maturation might neurologically explain the various characteristics displayed by children with ADHD."
