Abstract
The human brain is mind boggling when one thinks of all the intimate parts and how they affect learning. The study of Neuroanatomy of the brain and learning styles helps individuals to try to understand their individual dominance in right/left hemisphere. The paper studies several sources of literature where experiments were carried out to test right/left dominance, and discusses their results. Methods used by psychologists such Nagae are also discussed.
From the Paper
"In this study students were instructed to make a fist with their thumb pointing upward at an arms length away. Once they lined up with the target, they were asked to close their left eye and decide if it was still on target. Once they did this, they were asked to line up their thumbs on target and asked to close their right eye. Which eye was closest to target? They divided the students into right/left and mixed dominant sections. The students were then told how to do create a hypercard. The assignment was to create a sales presentation to an imaginary client. They were asked to indicate their right/left or mixed brain dominancy.
"The findings demonstrated the right-brain dominant individuals outperformed the left-brain and mixed-brain dominant students."

Abstract
This paper examines how, with each passing decade, the educational system discovers more elements with which to improve the way students are being educated, from inclusion to theories of multiple intelligence. It looks at how, with all of the changes and all of the theories, the bottom line remains that learning has to do with the way the brain processes information. It discusses that how the brain works has an important role, not only in the understanding of special education, but in learning in general, and how it is a vital part of education that is not studied outside of the special education field very often. It proposes a research project to determine the best way to educate students, based on appealing to both of the brain hemispheres. It focuses on elementary school students and their learning styles by appealing to each hemisphere to provide all students with the benefits of the lessons.

From the Paper
"At this point in the history of education most parents, students and educators are aware that students have different styles of learning. The nation has been through the seven different intelligence theories, the phonetics versus whole language formats and many other styles of trying to reach and teach the students. Students in elementary schools often find themselves the target of change as different theories and ideas are implemented. While all of the changes and experiments have enlightened the system even further to what works and what doesn?t the end result is that students only absorb and process what their brain allows them too. The brain hemispheres are divided into two distinct halves. It has been long known that each side handles different aspects of absorption, processing and retention of information.
Each side of the brain handles certain functions. That is a fact that has been apparent for many years, however, the current focus needs to move to how to harness that knowledge to improve the education of elementary students."

From the Paper
"This biological psychology paper will discuss left brain/ right brain differences. What is meant by left brain/right brain differences are differences between the two major hemispheres of the brain, the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere. The focus
will be on how the hemispheres differ functionally to affect psychology. A number of studies will be summarized.
II. Biological Aspects
Study of patients with damage to only one brain hemisphere is used to deduce how the right brain and left brain are different-iated. Robertson and Delis (1986) note that patients with damage to the left brain have more difficulty in visuospatial part-whole processing than do patients with damage to the right brain."

"In the modern day environment of budget cuts and the concept of doing more with less, many schools are operating with limited number of teachers. Principals are faced with a task of making to do with less while at the same time maintaining their objective of imparting education to the student. Principals have to delegate and assign tasks in order to achieve the goals of the school. They also have to allow teachers reasonable latitudes to achieve the preset goals and have to avoid constantly second guessing decisions made by the teachers."

Political Styles, 1990.
Discusses Fenno's theory of politician communication styles, in which the politician has a "home style" for those who elect him and other styles for dealing with colleagues and interest groups.

From the Paper
" Fenno (1978) discusses what he calls the "home style" of legislators, recognizing that the legislator in Washington has more than one constituency to which he or she plays and that the style of work, leadership, and behavior shown may differ for different constituencies. The four constituencies identified by Fenno are geographic, reelection, primary, and personal. Fenno distinguishes two overriding constituencies--the district and the nation. The legislator has a responsibility to both and also plays to both, using different styles. The home style differs from the Washington style, though they overlap and though activities directed toward one constituency have a resonance and a purpose with the other. The basic purpose held by legislators toward their constituencies is the same: "Representatives and prospective..."

Abstract
This paper highlights and analyzes the impact of globalization on the Arab/Islamic styles of management. The paper further highlights the Western styles of management and how these styles have integrated and influenced the Islamic styles of management.
From the Paper
"In the vein of the rest of the world, the process of globalization has profoundly influenced Muslim Countries. The lives of their peoples have been transformed, as have their philosophies, relationships, and logic of innovative expression. Some have greeted these transformations with arms wide open, at the same time as others fret on the nature of the changes happening and the aptitude of those affected to react suitably. One of the fundamental reasons of such apprehensions has been a comprehensive management concern: how to protect an exceptional legacy in the face of global stress; to sustain management customs; to protect linguistic cleanliness; to preserve social, political and economic traditions; as well as, eventually, to maintain a practical identity in the center of a speedily transforming global setting.

Abstract
This paper outlines the various central issues that relate to the many learning styles and student perceptions of these styles in terms of learning facility and educative value. This paper focuses on the what are the characteristic elements of the various learning styles which can be seen to be advantageous to learning in the distance education environment; and conversely what characteristics tend to act negatively in terms of learning in this environment.

Learning Styles
Brief Review on General Tendencies in Research
Variables and Variations Affecting Learning Styles
An Overview of Cognitive Learning Styles
Kolb and Experiential Learning Styles
Case Studies
Conclusion
From the Paper
"This finding suggests that the field independent learner may be more suited to the distance learning environment and that the learning style that would be appropriate in this case would stress more imaginative and challenging teaching methods that would stimulate this particular learning style preference. Another cognitive style of learning that is important for the understanding of learning sties is the Holist-Analytic dichotomy. "The holists tend to view a situation as a whole, while the analytics tend to view a situation as a collection of parts and often stress only one or two aspects at a time. Intermediates will have the advantage of both styles." Liu Y. and Ginther D. (1999) A further cognitive distinction that is valuable in terms of assessing learning styles is the verbal-imagery dimension. A number of associations and generalizations as to learning style can be derived from studies of this distinction and preference among students. For example, "Generally, the imagers tend to be internal and passive, while the verbalizers tend to be external and stimulating." Liu Y. and Ginther D. (1999)"

Adult Attachment Styles, 2006.
This paper discuses adult attachment styles, which are the ways adults form special emotional relationships with other people.
830 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 29.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper describes four basic adult attachment styles: the secure/autonomous style, the dismissing/avoidant style, the preoccupied style and the unclassifiable/disorganized style. The author stresses that early attachment styles are established in childhood through the infant-caregiver relationship. The paper relates that, regardless of the type of adult attachment style, communication is one critical item that will help people have lasting relationships. The author urges that persons not be labeled by their attachment style because they can re-train themselves to develop more positive behavior.
Table of Contents:
Defined
Secure / Autonomous Style
Dismissing / Avoidant Style
Preoccupied Style
Unclassifiable / Disorganized Style
Conclusion
From the Paper
"As these children grow into adults, the effects are also positive. Children who are securely attached tend to have trusting, long-term relationships in their adulthood. As adults and being securely attached, these same individuals have a great understanding and perspective on important relationships in their lives. They demonstrate a forgiving attitude toward their mate and tend to show compassion for others. They tend to speak of how their past experiences have influenced their present feelings and relationships."

The Influence of Culture on Learning Styles.
This paper discusses multiculturalism as a factor in culturally-based learning styles in Australia.
4,770 words (approx. 19.1 pages), 20 sources, APA, $ 122.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper applies Geert Hofstede's quantification of the four components of culture, which are Power Distance, Individualism, Masculinity and Uncertainty Avoidance, to measure the cultural differences, which influence the learning styles of Australians, Arabs, and Asian within the Australian schools. The author points out that, as compared to Western and Australian students, Arab students appear to be resistant because they seem to be dependent, indecisive, or nonverbal emotionally; because of the role of fate in the teachings of Islam, they are thought to be survival-oriented rather than insight-oriented. The paper states that Asian and Arab students will require more structure than Australian students, may seek more definitive instruction and judgment of their work, may prefer to be considered one of a group, and will not as readily push themselves forward to seek information as will Australian students.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Again, this would seem to be easier for European cultures, having much in common with the foundation British culture of Australia, than for cultures such as those of the Middle East and Asia. Still, maintaining the cultural differences that result in learning differences over a long period is difficult. Maintaining cultural differences "needs an iron clad system of apartheid or self-imposed inward looking communal traditions." While this is more likely with the Middle Eastern immigrants for a variety of reasons, if the children are in Australian schools, it is likely that assimilation is acceptable to the family, and the teachers then must grapple with the cultural expectations those children bring to the classroom. This may be slightly less prevalent for Asian immigrant children simply because, in the current global climate, they would not suffer from what Australians think they know about the culture, as is arguably the case with those from the Arab world."

Management Styles, 2005.
This paper explores the concept of management style by examining past antiquated styles, the definition of management and a variety of current adaptations.
2,580 words (approx. 10.3 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 77.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that an antiquated management style, once typical of the the old "Rust Belt Industries", is the "Top-Down Autocratic Style", in which there is a rigid, established hierarchy, ruling with an iron fist and giving little concern to middle-management who carried out the orders of the Baron types owners. The author points out that a manager must posses the skills of leadership along with the intelligence, fortitude and willingness to apply this leadership to accomplish a task no matter how the task is defined. The paper relates, after reviewing many contemporary management styles, such as "Management by Objectives" and "Management by Walking Around", that, because today businesses are rapidly expanding globalization and are subject to constant technological changes, management styles must be flexible.
From the Paper
"The old Soviet Union under Communist Rule is another classic example of the failure of the autocratic top down approach to management style. In this case, all incentives were removed from middle management and in there place was a quota system thereby producing their iron-fisted control of workers which in turn produced a total collapse of their economic system in spite of appearing to compete favorable with other nations of the world. This also produced many unsavory characters willing to take about any chances to cheat the system and this not to mention the damage this management style did to the population as a whole from a sociological point of view."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts two mosaics depicting Mary and Jesus-one medieval, the other Byzantine. The author discusses their stylistic differences, the severity and stoicism versus warmness and emotion, and examines Christianity as seen through religious art in both societies.
From the Paper
"The Medieval era produced many important art pieces ? many of which contained reference to religious figures. Because religion did, in fact, play such an important role in everyday life, religious art abounded throughout Europe . However, depending upon the area of the continent and which religion its inhabitants believed in, artists portrayed similar religious scenes in varying ways. In particular, Byzantine and Medieval pieces contained identical figures or scenes portrayed in very different ways due to the respective religion?s influence on the artist. Comparison of two mosaics depicting Virgin and Child will show fundamental stylistic differences between Byzantine and Medieval art."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the various different styles of decision-making. The paper presents one of the most innovative and helpful categorizations of decision-making styles, the "Platinum Rule Personal Styles" of the four basic business personalities. The four basic decision-making styles of the "Platinum Rule" are relaters, socializers, thinkers and directors. Each style is explored in terms of behavioral adaptivity, descriptions of the style, and suggestions for adaptability.
From the Paper
"Leadership is the position of authority in which it is possible to provide guidance or direction through making decisions that will affect other people. There are many methods of decision making, and each individual person has a unique decision making style. Many different studies have explored the vast and quite possibly infinite numbers of decision making styles that are exhibited by people. One example of such personality studies is the Fielder contingency model, which is a leadership theory that categorized people into relationship-oriented and task-oriented groups. Those who fit into each category are assumed to function best when given tasks that suit their type, and that there is no way that a person of one type can function within the confines of the other. Another leadership model, the path-goal model, was developed by Robert House. House?s categories of leadership styles very much focus on the ways in which leaders communicate with others. Directive leadership is a style that offers guidance, supportive leadership shows concern, participative leadership asks for consensus, and achievement oriented leadership demands results. This model shows that the styles are fluid and adaptable to the situation."

Leadership Styles, 2001.
Discusses several leadership styles employed by women managers. How leadership styles are affected by gender. Brief history of women in workforce.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 7 sources, $ 55.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to explore how women in the modern work force have advanced themselves, and what is known about the leadership styles used by women when they are given positions of responsibility. How leadership styles interact with gender is a question that requires investigation. Things have changed for women at work. Their increasing numbers in today?s work force mean that there are more of them competing for higher salaries, more power, and more responsibilities. But how do their increasing numbers interact with their leadership skills and their ability to be placed in positions of leadership?
Perhaps we can begin to answer this question by examining how leadership styles are affected by gender, and how women are increasingly perceived as being capable of leadership."

Personal Learning Styles, 2004.
This paper evaluates the author?s own learning style by reviewing research on personal learning styles.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper relates that the author?s own particular learning style, like that of other learners, can help and hinder his academic progress, particularly considering issues of time management, research, and analysis skills. The author points out that there are five distinct ?learning strategy? groups based on learning styles, including navigator, monitor, critical thinker, engager, and networker. The paper reveals that the author considers himself a stereotypical ?navigator?, which is helpful to know because now he can now fairly well predict how much, and more importantly, what kind of problems a particular class or project will present to him personally due to his personal learning style characteristics.
From the Paper
"Of course, at first, I imagined that this deep desire for autonomy and self-paced learning was unique to me. However, after reading some of the literature on adult education and the characteristics of the average adult learner, I found that many (if not most) older students also place a high regard on autonomous learning. In fact, after reading the landmark "The Inquiring Mind" (Houle, 1961), I began to understand just how prevalent it is for adult learners to undertake their continuing education with an independent nature."

Agency Conflict Management Style Approach
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Defining Conflict Management Styles
When faced with conflict, individuals have a specific conflict management style he or she likes to use. The definition of conflict management as defined by Wikipedia refers, "to the long-term management of intractable conflicts. It is the label for the variety of ways by which people handle grievances, standing up for what they consider to be right and against what they consider being wrong." (Wikipedia, 2007). The key to effectively managing conflicts is the ability to choose which management style is best appropriate for certain situations. (Ohio Commission on Dispute Resolution & Conflict Management, unknown). There are five main types of conflict management style types such as collaborating, competing, compromising, avoiding, and accommodating."
