Abstract
This paper introduces, describes and analyzes a legal case brought against the New England Telephone Company by Paul Cronan, a one- time employee of the company.
From the Paper
"Early in 1985, Paul Cronan developed symptoms and illness stemming from AIDS-related complex (ARC). As the illness persisted, Cronan sought medical attention that necessitated him to be excused from work. In June 1985, Cronan sought to be excused from work for a third instance; which was refused by his immediate supervisor, O'Brian, unless Cronan divulged his condition. Fearing the potential jeopardy of his job, Cronan informed O'Brian that his illness was due to an AIDS-related condition, and pled for the strictest confidentiality. O'Brian assured Cronan that his medical condition would be held private and dismissed Cronan from work."

Abstract
This paper evaluates the financial performance of Southern New England Telephone, a subsidiary of SBC Communications, Inc. It looks at various economic factors that impact the success or failure of this company, as well as other market indicators.
From the Paper
"However, despite the initial successes of SBC, Southern New England Telephone is currently still reeling from a legal snafu. Hurled into its path of otherwise expected financial success, Gemini Networks petitioned that ?certain hybrid fiber coaxial facilities owned by the Southern New England Telephone Company constituted unbundled network elements? As such, according to Connecticut law, they must be subject to a tariff and offered on an element by element basis for lease to Gemini ?at total service long run incremental cost pricing.? (The Connecticut Triennial Review Reporter, November 13, 2003) SNET argued that the Department of Public Utility Control lacked the authority to compel unbundling beyond that was required by the FCC."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the Julia Barnes' somewhat cynical view of reality as a human construction in her novel "England, England". The paper focuses on the characters' attempts to cope with reality and their desire to look past the constructions in their own and others' lives.
From the Paper
"In "England, England", Julian Barnes theorizes that what people perceive to be reality is merely a construction. He argues that people create this construction for themselves because of a desire to simplify their lives. What people consider to be true memories and actual history are distortions, no more real than stories, except in that people believe these memories and histories to be real."

Constructions of Reality in Julian Barnes' "England, England", 2000.

Abstract
This paper explores the theme of make-believe reality in Julian Barnes' "England, England", which is presented through the character of Martha. The question posed is whether there even is such a thing as objective reality, and whether, if there is, it can satisfy anyone, and the conclusion appears to be that people ultimately prefer a constructed reality.
From the Paper
"At the beginning of the novel, Barnes sets up the idea that reality, as people think of it, is constructed. Martha reasons: ?If a memory wasn?t a thing but a memory of a memory of a memory, mirrors set in parallel, then what the brain told you now about what it claimed had happened then would be colored by what had happened in between? (6). She continues by reasoning that ?an element of propaganda, of sales and marketing, always intervened between the inner and the outer person? (7). While a person may claim that he/she remembers something clearly, he/she has actually filtered and changed around the memory, infusing it with an element of make-believe."

The Telephone, 2002.
An overview of the history and the technological development of the telephone over the years.

Abstract
This paper will examine the history and development of the telephone, from its early foundations in telegraph technology to its modern incarnation in cell networks and telepresence. It will be seen how, although based in part on telegraph technology, the invention of the telephone represented a fundamental shift in innovative thinking that was primarily due to the insight of two men: Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson. It will be shown that - from the invention of phone "ringing" to the telephone booth - the developers of the telephone (initially inside, and later outside, of the Bell company) have diverted considerable resources toward engineering easy public use and comfort with this technology. This, more than anything else, accounts for the ubiquitous nature of the telephone in modern life.

Abstract
This paper describes the invention of the telephone and its impact on modern society. The discussion investigates three ways in which the widespread adoption of the telephone changed society. The author examines the changes in the mode of communication and government regulations, commerce and automation, and the Internet. A brief history of life before the telephone is presented. The author concludes that the widespread adoption of the telephone paved the way for the advent of the most comprehensive source for information, business and entertainment that the world has ever known--the Internet.
From the Paper
"Before the telephone was invented the telegraph was one of the ways that people communicated. People also sent letters to one another. However, Alexander Graham Bell's was able to invent a device that allowed the human voice to travel over distances via an electric current. According to McMaster (2002) the telephone was presented to the public at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the cellular telephone industry in terms of factors affecting its growth and pricing, noting that the cellular telephone has gone from a product used only by the wealthy to a product sold to millions of people, a product on which more and more people rely daily, and a product much less expensive than when it was first introduced, to the point today where cellular telephones are given away by many, while money is made from connections to the company providing cellular telephone service.
From the Paper
"The cellular telephone has gone from a product used only by the wealthy to a product sold to millions of people, a product on which more an d ore people rely daily, and a product much less expensive than when it was first introduced, to the point today where cellular telephones are given away by many, while money is made from connections to the company providing cellular telephone service. Once the initial growth phase of the cellular industry was completed, the industry was able to give more attention to its future. In that early period, the industry faced a number of concerns about certain developments and certain questions that would affect future growth and development. Most of these have been given at least preliminary answers, and the system has changed and become more efficient. The product and service is clearly viable, and demand cost has been dropping."

?No Telephone to Heaven?, 2002.
A look at the theme of identity in Michelle Cliff?s "No Telephone to Heaven".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how Michelle Cliff?s "No Telephone to Heaven" takes the truism that human beings tend to seek or derive a sense of identity from family, race, peer group recognition, nationality, and the social strictures of the world at large and applies it to the struggle of a young Jamaican woman, Clare Savage. It discusses how, by virtue of her skin color, education and experience of living in the United States and England, she is caught between three different worlds as she searches for her sense of identity. It shows how, ultimately, the novel?s main message is to demonstrate that, though nationality, race, family, sex, social class and education are strong influencing factors on an individual?s identity, a true sense of self and identity can only really be formed through a process of self-discovery and development achieved through gaining knowledge and acceptance of the truth.
From the Paper
"Michelle Cliff uses Clare?s search for her identity to trace parallels to Jamaica?s search for its own identity and to comment on the effects of colonization on the colonized. For one, the difference created between ?black Jamaica? and ?white Jamaica,? is in itself a deterrent to any forming of a national identity. It is here that interesting parallels can be drawn between Clare and the island itself. Clare is motherless and infertile. So is Jamaica. Jamaica does not have a mother (England is too different) and cannot be a mother itself as it is so torn within itself with too many different influences preventing the formation of a concrete national identity (Western Michigan University Web site)."

The Telephone Triage Nurse.
This paper discusses the role of the telephone triage nurse by incorporating the author's own experience with nursing literature.
1,300 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 10 sources, APA, $ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the position of the telephone triage nurse, by solving problems such as same-day appointment overload in general practice and discussing immediately problems with a health care professional, fills the initiator role, which lays the foundation of care to be provided. The author points out that, without well-defined communication skills, the nurse cannot establish therapeutic relations with the patient; interpreters of languages within the service community assist the triage nurse. The paper states that handling stress is an inherent part of the telephone triage nurse's duties because providing adequate assessments in a reasonable amount of time is challenging, given there's always another caller waiting who may have more serious health issues than the current person on the phone.
From the Paper
"My job in this particular situation is to triage the chest congestion statement for either home care advice or an appointment to the clinic to rule out bronchitis or pneumonia. But, in order to triage I first need to obtain clear answers to my questions such as: "Fever?", "Chest pains?" and "Wheezing?". I also need to know what she has done so far to care for herself. Based on the answers to such questions, the computer program I enter the information into will then assign an urgent same day appointment or recommend home care advice. However, it was clear from the start that this particular patient was not at all interested in receiving telephone advice and I feared that she would not qualify for an appointment based on the cold-like symptoms I had gathered from her so far."

Abstract
This paper describes in depth the emergence and implications of telecommunication technology on society. It details the invention of the telegraph by Morse and it's rapid acclimation as a tool of our modern society and compares Morse code to Internet email as written telecommunications messaging tools. The paper follows the historical development of telecommunication with Bell's revolutionary invention the
telephone.
From the Paper
"In today?s world nobody can deny the importance of technology. It completely captures our lives in many aspects. With the continual introduction of modern technologies into our society we have started to take for granted inventions. ??Technology is a world that is often associated with the progression and it seems taken for granted that moving forward and the technological age is positive thing?? (Udahl 1). It is a complicated and confusing topic, especially when applied to telecommunication. The telecommunication industry is more directly and specifically a child of technology than almost any other industry. This industry touches nearly everyone in the world and defies the understanding of people. Unquestionably, it can be regarded as the most significant part of the developing technology. It provides people to be aware of the world by applying the developing technology. Telecommunication which means communicating over long distances enables people to know about the world. In applying to a critical approach to the understanding of communication technology, the measuring stick is how it benefits ordinary people, the vast majority who are not engaged in great material or political power pursuits. While the study of communication is being explained, the social impact of the telecommunication should be taken into account carefully."

Abstract
This paper assesses the steps Rawlings & Associates has taken to resolve its telephone communications problems. The author points out that the basic guidance policies, which they have formulated and implemented, have only been marginally helpful. The paper relates that a more comprehensive solution was available five years ago and should have been implemented at that time.
From the Paper
"In assessing the steps Rawlings & Associates has taken to resolve its telephone communications problems, it is evident that the basic guidance policies they have formulated and implemented have only been marginally helpful, for a more comprehensive solution was available five years ago and should have been implemented at that time. As a large service, engineering and construction consulting firm with a number of subsidiary locations all across Canada, Rawlings & Associates needs to maintain effective internal and external communications in order to conduct business, and this requires much more than wishing the caller a good morning or afternoon and identifying who is speaking."

The Technological Revolution of the Telephone, 2008.
A look at the impact the telephone has in society.
2,007 words (approx. 8.0 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 63.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the impact the invention of the telephone had on the history of communication and describes background information regarding both Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray. The author goes on to discuss how technology is often only perceived and analyzed through the technological view and then goes on to take a look at the socio-technological perspective.
From the Paper
"The emergence of the telephone began with a wire based electrical system called the telegraph which used the dot and dash Morse code system. The telegraph was considered a well established means of communication in a society where many individuals benefited from its uses. Although the telegraph served as a sufficient means for communication, it also contained many limitations which included sending only one message at a time with no vocal capabilities. Thus, when the emergence of the telephone came about many individuals viewed this new instrument as an alternative to the telegraph because of the lack of limitations it contained as well as the many beneficial improvements in communicating. Many individuals such as Alexander Graham Bell viewed the telegraph as a basis for a better and more efficient instrument. Alexander Graham Bell was set on the thought of establishing a better means of communication and improving the already established telegraph. His extensive knowledge and understanding of sound and music led Bell to think of a concept where sound could be transmitted and more than one message could be interpreted. This is how Bell created the harmonic telegraph, which was based on the principle that music notes could be sent over a wire at the same time even if the notes differed in pitch. The harmonic telegraph was seen as a step up for the improvement of the original telegraph and in his attempts to improve the telegraph is what ultimately led Bell to the invention of the telephone where speech patterns could be sent simultaneously. On June 2, 1875 Alexander Graham Bell discovered while experimenting with the harmonic telegraph that he could hear sound over a wire; the sound was a vibrating clock spring. March 10, 1876 is the day where Bell demonstrated of being able to talk with electricity over a wire and this is the day where telegraphs were no longer a sufficient device for communication (Farley, 1998)."

"The Telephone", 2005.
An analysis of the symbolism and imagery in Robert Frost's poem, "The Telephone".
1,048 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper demonstrates, through an analysis of his poem, "The Telephone," how Robert Frost loved the natural and physical world that surrounded him. The analysis also illustrates an unexpected symbolic depth of meaning by revealing Frost's use of of image, structure, and dialogue to create atmosphere and mystery and to convey the importance of the universal need for communication and a deeper intimacy between nature and humanity.
From the Paper
"Frost was very unlike many of the 'modernist' poets of his time. His poetry was not overtly concerned with larger philosophical issues and visions of society. His work was essentially closer to nature and to the heart and dealt with the perceptions of ordinary people in a language and style that was down to earth and more akin to the Romantic view of life."

From the Paper
"Television as a medium and as a business has changed greatly with the advent of cable delivery of television programs, and cablecasting (as it is called) has developed with new suppliers and new distributors in addition to the major studios and syndicators that have always supplied programs in some fashion. The development of cable television occurred at the same time as the federal government, through legal action, dismantled the telephone monopoly of the Bell Telephone system in the United States, and though the wiring of homes for cable followed the same path as telephone lines in most cases, the telephone companies have been precluded from entering this business by law. The reason for such law was to assure that there would be competition in the cable industry and that the new cable delivery systems..."

"The Family, Sex & Marriage In England" by Lawrence Stone & "Condition of Working Class in England" by Engels, 1996.
Compares works on causes & meaning of radical changes in home & male-female relations in England, 1500-1800.

Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"Lawrence Stone, in The Family, Sex, and Marriage in England, 1500-1800, argues that the causes of radical changes in the home and in relations between men and women in England during those three centuries were manifold. Stone also argues that while some of the transformations were negative, most were positive and were precursors of elements which exist in free societies today. These conclusions on the part of Stone stand in stark contrast to the ideas of Friedrich Engels. In The Condition of the Working Class in England, Engels argues that the changes were almost wholly negative, and that the cause was singular---the dehumanizing, exploitive and alienating impact of capitalism in its early stages.
In terms of accuracy, Stone's thesis is more convincing than Engels', for the wide variety and dramatic nature of the changes..."
