Abstract
The U.S. Patent Office has recently granted at a patent to the company Pfizer for its miracle drug "Viagra", but the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe have thrown out Pfizer's patent application after examination. The paper examines the way Pfizer patented the way "Viagra" blocks a certain enzyme in the body as well as the composition of the drug, but as two different patents. It explores the difficulty in patenting drugs due to the complex language surrounding patent law. The paper examines several examples of infringement of this law with regard to "Viagra", as well as the difference in patent applications in Germany, Britain and the United States.
From the Paper
"Idea theft is an interesting concept because it is an intangible good, whereas chemical composition is a tangible good, but the research that went into creating the compound needs to be rewarded and did begin with a great idea. Inventors have the incentive to invent by being first to market, to achieve the intangible, all powerful, good will of the consumer. Idea theft can cover the elements within the pill, Viagra, but not to the way it is necessarily used by the body. For example, one cannot patent pill swallowing, but the U.S. Patent Office will stretch to patent the way a pill awakens a man?s ?willie?. Lessig pointed out a very profound question about intellectual property rights to the Internet world, but new technology does not exist solely within the computer sector. When our society undergoes a transition to a new technology (i.e., the Internet, business process patents, drug-use patents), we need to revise the length at which monopoly power is extended and ask ourselves ?whether that power makes sense. Is it necessary? Is there reason to believe it will do some good?? (216). In this case, the patent does nothing but hinder invention and impede scientific innovation. Monopolistic power does not make sense outside the boundaries of business, which the Viagra patent clearly is."

The Insufficiency of the Term "North-South Gap", 2006.

Abstract
This paper discusses the obsolete definitions of "First World", "Second World", and "Third World" countries since the fall of communism, and presents the term that emerged later to replace them, the "North-South Gap". Developed countries in favor of capitalism were labeled "North", while countries with developing economies were labeled "South". The paper challenges the validity of this term, by bringing several detailed examples of countries that prove the definition inadequate. The paper concludes that the "North-South Gap" is losing its meaning due to a rise in global markets and economies.
From the Paper
"A major factor that comes into play when studying a country's economic status is the Gross National Product, also known as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is the annual value of all goods and services "produced" by a nation. According to the World Bank, the 2005 GDP values for the United States, United Kingdom, Austria,
Russia, Singapore, Thailand, Brazil, and India (in millions of USD) are $12,455,068, $2,192,553, $304,527, $763,720, $116,764, $176,602, $794,098 and $785,468, respectively. These figures show that, currently, India and Brazil have a higher GDP than that of Russia or Austria1. Thailand and Singapore are not too far behind with a combined GDP that falls just short of Austria's."

An Insufficient Treatment of Shakespeare's Tragedies, 2000.
An explanation of why Stanley Cavil's treatment of Shakespeare's works is incomplete and inconsequential.
2,510 words (approx. 10.0 pages), 0 sources, $ 76.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"Stanley Cavell?s reading of Shakespeare indicates that the bulk of what constitutes Shakespearean tragedy anticipates the sort of philosophy known as ?philosophical skepticism? that writers like Thoreau and Descartes would bring to fruition years later, within the clearly defined realm of philosophy. More specifically, Cavell claims that Shakespeare?s tragedies are essentially tragedies of ?acknowledgment,? when one character makes a conscious decision to disown something that he [sic] knows. While Cavell may have identified (indeed, accurately) and been able to categorize elements of Shakespeare which fit into his preconceived mold, to claim that this constitutes the bulk of Shakespeare?s tragic element completely eviscerates the more substantive components of Shakespeare?s tragedy. Cavell?s analytical methods are retroactive. Rather than reading Shakespeare and then formulating a conclusion, he has chosen instead to fit his reading of Shakespeare, sometimes bordering on absurd and nonsensical, to his already preconceived conclusion. To claim, then, that Shakespeare was consciously operating within the context of philosophical skepticism is irrational. Philosophical skepticism gives to the reader an analysis of Shakespeare that is excessively introspective, focusing on the motivations of individual characters while looking over the more significant and relevant parts of the tragedies, relationships between and among humans. While Cavell, centuries later, may have indeed identified elements of Shakespearean tragedy which fit within his mold of philosophical skepticism, this was certainly not the framework from which Shakespeare was operating.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the inadequate use of technology in the classroom and explores the various reasons for this inadequacy. Several studies are cited to support this finding.
From the Paper
"An article in the International Journal of Instructional Media, also explains that many teachers are not taking advantage of the technology that has been made available to them. The article, entitled, ?Degree of Internet/www Use and Barriers to Use among Secondary Social Studies Teachers? asserts that only a small percentage of a primary and secondary teachers have attempted to integrate Internet technology into their classrooms. (Vanfossen, 2001) The article explains that the lack of use is most common among older teachers that have little or no computer training."

Abstract
This paper explains that the inability to perform in a typical manner during sexual intimacies takes its toll on the emotional well being of any relationship and therefore on the quality of life of patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). The author points out that there are now many treatment options, including medications such as sildenafil (Viagra), which have shown promise of improving the lives of many, but not all, people suffering from ED. The paper states that the proposed research will compare, using both quantitative and qualitative data, three non-invasive treatment options: medication, individual therapy and relationship counseling.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Methodology
Analysis
From the Paper
"The high rates of probability for partial or complete ED is demonstrative of the need to analyze the problem in a comprehensive manner, especially considering that there are likely many individuals in the population who are excluded for medical reasons from taking oral medications to help resolve or treat the problem of ED as it is also often likely to be associated with medical care for other, more life threatening diseases. ED can be caused by medications used to treat high blood pressure and other high risk medical diagnoses as well as by chronic medical conditions such as diabetes."

Abstract
The paper explains why advocacy is so vital for the counselling profession and illustrates this by listing effects that will arise if there is a lack of it, for example, there will be a reduction in effectiveness in the practice of the counselor and problems in the personal life of the individual. The paper explains the Masters-Level Counselor Education Program and how it may incorporate advocacy training into its curriculum and extra-curricular activities. The writer concludes that the counseling profession needs a more structured curriculum focused towards the establishment of a framework that integrates all aspects of the profession into one uniform standard for all to base their practice on.
Contents:
Objective
The Need for Advocacy
Consequences of Insufficient Advocacy for the Counseling Profession
Masters-Level Counselor Education Program
Summary
From the Paper
"The need for advocacy cannot be understated in relation to the provisions of such to the counseling profession. The stress that is inherent to this profession has many complicating factors when the factors and elements of the individual life and indeed the world at large are factored into the subject at hand. Stated in the work entitled: "Advocacy for Counseling and Counselors: A Professional Imperative" by Lee (1998) is that the definition of advocacy is defined as "the process or act of arguing or pleading for a cause or proposal (p.8). Within this context he recommended that counselors become agents of social change, intervening not just in the lives of their clients but in the world around them as well. It is a necessity that this type of advocacy be applied among professional counselors as a service to one another in combating the specific factors professional counselors may be subject to due to the nature of their work."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the human factor in aviation and the degree to which pilot error is the cause of airplane accidents. This will require a brief discussion of the available facts and statistics on air travel as well as a review of the reasons why this happens, even among seasoned pilots, and why the numbers are growing.
The modern airliner is a marvel of technology, as safe as man can make it. The statistics convincingly point to the safety of flying over other means of transportation. "In 1978, U.S. airlines completed 99.99991 percent of their flights without a fatality (Norris 11). In 1979 around 800 million passengers travelled by air around the world, and only 1,267 of them (plus 149 crew members) were killed, making the odds about 565.000 to 1 (Norris 11). These figures have remained relatively constant, (...)"

Abstract
This paper proposes a solution to the problem at XYZ Health Clinic concerning the lack of effective communication between the front office staff of the clinic and patients coming to the clinic for certain medical tests. The proposed solution is heavily dependent on information technology, so an overview of information resource management is included in the paper as well.
From the Paper
"Recently, it has come to the attention of the administrators of the XYZ Health and our team, that there has been a lack of effective communication between the front office staff of the clinic and patients coming to the clinic for certain medical tests. Many patients report that they have been ill informed as to the procedures they must follow regarding such tests before coming to the clinic. For instance, in terms of glucose tolerance tests, the front office staff has often been remiss in informing individuals how long they must fast before the test is conducted. This lack of information has caused a backlog. Individuals come to the clinic improperly prepared, not having fasted for the proper duration, or in other cases, not brought the appropriate referral slips or personal equipment (such as eyeglasses) for exams. ("Glucose Tolerance Testing," 2003) The exam must then be rescheduled, causing a waste of time for doctors, patients, and the nursing staff."

Social Services for the Elderly, 2005.
A look at the insufficient or lack of social services for the elderly in America.

Abstract
This report addresses the problem that large portions of the elderly population are not happy with the social services that are available to them, do not know enough about them, or are otherwise blocked by departmental objectives, which have turned a war on poverty to a war on
fraudulent claims, compromising the social service presentation in many areas.

Formulation of Hypothesis
From the Paper
"Social epidemiology would not provide a basis for assuming that poverty is the only risk factor to be considered in the targeting of community health programs, for there are other societal circumstances that foster marginalization: from a holistic outlook, then, "Critical perspectives on emerging infections must ask how large-scale social forces come to have their effects on unequally positioned individuals in increasingly
interconnected populations" (Farmer, 1999). These inequalities may be expanded in a definitional manner to include the recognition that other social groups are also party to marginalized status in terms of age and gender, but overall, social epidemiology recognizes that, at least where the non-elderly are concerned, poverty and minority-group status combine to create the primary factor for promotion marginalization, which, in turn, is responsible for less favorable health outcomes in elderly individuals fitting these social and environmental parameters."

Cognitive Dissonance, 1997.
Discusses the social psychological theory of cognitive dissonance. Identifies choice, insufficient justification, effort justification and contradictory information as the four primary causes of dissonance.

From the Paper
"Cognitive theory studies how people understand the world around them and how this cognition aids their efforts for successful adaptation to the surrounding environment. A prevailing assumption is that cognition affects behavior. Certain theories hold that this progression is also influenced by motivations. Motivation is viewed as a "moving force which instigates behavior and is primarily a function of thought rather than needs, drives, or arousal" (Reeve, 1997, 160). There are many suppositions as to what these forces are. One such theory holds that dissonance can be a primary motivator for a person's actions.
Dissonance is the discomfort in psychological and physiological states caused when an inconsistency is created between a person's beliefs and his or her behaviors. Dissonance ..."

Problems with Sartre?s Ethics, 2004.
Examine the conceptual problems with Sartre?s logic that lead to insufficient methodology.
883 words (approx. 3.5 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 31.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the problems with Sartre's logic when studying the concepts of authenticity, nothingness, and responsibility. The paper highlights the contradictions in Sartre's logic and some of the assumptions he makes that cause these contradictions.
From the Paper
"Sartre?s doctrine that the self is ?nothing? cannot ground any ethical orders because if we follow Sartre?s train of logic, we have negated what is. In other words, our own awareness of what we lack, including unsatisfied desires and expectations, is not reality. Because of our own awareness, we have brought nothingness into the world. In addition, Sartre says that nothingness is the basis of all philosophical inquiry. According to this theory, we are not a part of any order because we can choose to withdraw from this order. Bad faith is essentially lying to ourselves, which is closely tied to inauthenticity--both ideas are attempts to escape the truth of what we are as human beings. The problem with this theory is that Sartre gives us no moral guidance if we wish to avoid bad faith. This is problematic because we are not introduced to a way of finding good faith other than our own freedom."

Abstract
The accession to the throne of sultan Qaboos ibn Said inn 1970 marked the beginning of considerable political and economic changes in Oman. Realizing the importance of internal and local stability, the sultanate started coming out of its political isolation, forming alliances in the Middle East and maintaining good diplomatic relations with the western powers. Overall, sultan Qaboos supported a non-aligned foreign policy, determined by what is of best interest to the country. Alongside, the regime gradually modernized the country in an effort to develop the economy and attract foreign investment. Although infrastructural improvements, social changes, and economic reforms were progressively undertaken, the country still faces the challenges of its overdependence on oil and shortage of Omani labor force. As Omani oil reserves are depleting, the transition from rentier to a more diversified economy is imperative to the future economic growth of the sultanate. This paper explores the economy of Oman during the period of 1980-2004 and how it was affected by the regime's internal reforms, its involvement in the resolution of the local conflicts and its diplomatic ties with the U.S.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
Oman and the Gulf Cooperation Council
Gulf War: Consequences
Iran-Iraq War and its Impact on Omani Economy and Political Stability
Omani Economy: Problems and Challenges
Social Reforms
Foreign Investment
U.S.- Omani Relations
Military Expenditure
Conclusion
Bibliography
From the Paper
"The signing of the Facility Access Agreement secured the positions of the regime, provided American economic support and expertise, and was crucial to establishing peace during the Gulf War. Also, Omani military alliance with the U.S. allowed the sultanate to divert some of the military spending and undertake more social reforms. Economically, the sultan introduced crucial reforms to make Oman an attractive investment destination. However, in order to fully exploit the foreign investment opportunities, the sultanate should fight the high level of corruption and introduce more transparency in the processes of privatization and business attraction."

Nursing Staff, 2005.
This paper analyzes a nursing ward that has insufficient nurses available.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 2 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper provides a work analysis of a nursing ward in which 1 LPN and 2 Nursing Assistants are responsible for the regular and specialized care for 22 patients. The paper provides a narrative on liabilities and staffing choices and a detailed worksheet showing how each staffer's work is to be divided. The paper also includes a priority list to help the staffers determine the work order in times of conflict between patient needs.
From the Paper
"In this ward, with the level of work that needs to be accomplished, two nurses and two nursing assistants would be ideal. But, with the level of staffing being only 1 LPN and 2 NA's, the potential for liability issues is increased. Specifically, while medications and the major services can be managed effectively for the 22 patients on the ward, there are several periods in which all three staffers will be occupied and cannot respond to emergency calls as quickly as they would with a fourth staffer. The potential for problems arise when an understaffed ward encounters an emergency that requires multiple nurses."

Abstract
This paper begins with a description of the destruction caused by the 1995 earthquake in Kobe, Japan and then takes a look at why the region suffered such extensive damage. The paper describes how the traditional Japanese home is constructed as well as how commercial buildings and transportation-related structures are typically constructed and explains why these structures could not withstand the force of the earthquake. The paper also points out the need to adopt newer methods of construction in order to make the homes and buildings safer and more capable of withstanding earthquakes.
From the Paper
"In 1990, the Japanese Meteorological Agency made a list of 18 regions that experienced seismic activity of less than 3 on the Richter scale. The regions on this list were considered "earthquake-proof". On January 17, 1995, to the surprise of the researchers involved, Kobe, Japan, one of the locations on the safe list, was struck by one of the most severe earthquakes known to mankind at 5:46 a.m. (Japanese Standard Time) (See Figures 1 &2). The magnitude of this earthquake measured 6.9 on the Richter scale and 7.2 on the Japanese Meteorological Agency scale. As a result of this earthquake, 5470 people were killed, 33,000 more were injured and a total of 310,000 local residents were left homeless. Water mains and gas lines were badly damaged. Survivors of the earthquake were left without many of the essentials for everyday life. Eventually, citizens were informed that they could be without water and gas systems for two months or more. Several larger structures including transportation systems, office buildings, and bridges were also damaged during the earthquake (Figure 3). As of April 22, 1995, $110 billion had been spent trying to restore Kobe to livable conditions. "
