Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of personal implications of the Internet. The writer explores the way people use the Internet to develop personalities and become part of online communities worldwide. The paper takes a look at the well-known site, Myspace.com as well as other sites. The writer argues that stereotypes have a significant impact on perception as people come online where no one can see them and become whatever they wish.
From the Paper
"The technological boom of the past 20 years has taken mankind to heights never before dreamed possible. Today with the click of a button one can plan and take vacations, manage stocks, shop worldwide and chat with people around the globe. While the ability to shop and pay for purchases is fun, there have been many years of paying for things in alternative fashion including credit card by phone. The real innovation when it comes to the Internet experience is the connection with other people. The Internet community has provided an explosion of new availability to explore other cultures and communities. In addition, the Internet provides an arena to become whatever and whoever one wants to become. The young man who is so shy at school can become a football hero online simply by typing that he is one. The woman who weighs 400 pounds and has never had a date can become a professional model online and woo the men who "chat" with her under her screen name of "Glamourbabe". Regardless of what a person seems to be in real life they can go online and become someone completely different. People who spend time online often participate in two kinds of communication. They are involved with emails that they may send to family and friends one on one, and they are often also involved in an online community in which they take part in open discussion with the entire group through chatrooms or message board/newsgroups. Myspace.com and other Internet sites have recently come under fire when predators have taken on different personalities through the sites and lured youngsters to their death or harm by pretending to be someone they aren't as well."

Abstract
This paper is an in-depth analysis of online company "E*Trade", covering topics such as: recent strategic acquisitions / alliances, average customer characteristics, 1998 market share for retail brokerage accounts, market share of online equity trades, cost structure of brokers, comparison of products and services offered by the leading online brokerages, SWOT Analysis Matrix.
From the Paper
"Founded as a service bureau in 1982 by Bill Porter, a physicist and E*Trade provided online quote and trading services to Fidelity, Charles Schwab, and Quick and Reilly. This led Bill Porter to wonder why individual investors had to pay a broker hundreds of dollars for stock transactions. With incredible foresight, he saw the solution at hand. He envisioned that someday everyone would own computers and invest through them with unprecedented efficiency and control. It would take years for the investment world to catch up with Bill?s vision. In 1992, E*Trade Securities, Inc., one of the original all-electronic brokerages, was born and began offering online investing services through America Online and CompuServe. With the launch of the Palo Alto, California based www.etrade.com company in 1996, demand for E*Trade services exploded."

Abstract
This paper looks at the development of online tourist agents and their impact on traditional, high-street travel agents, with a focus on European consumers. The paper also looks at the reasons behind the increase in online travel bookings, through a discussion of seven hypotheses.
From the Paper
"Hundreds of thousands of people are turning to the internet to book their holidays, as they realize it is cheaper, and easier. Anyone who has stood in a high street travel agent in the UK, and waited in turn to talk to someone about booking a holiday anywhere vaguely off the package tourist trail welcomed the internet with open arms, especially as prices on the internet are far lower than those offered by high street travel agents, and because the whole experience of booking your holiday is far nicer at home in front of your computer, than stuck on an uncomfortable chair, in a hot, stuffy room, trying to explain to the person behind the counter where Palermo is."

Abstract
This paper discusses how MMORPGs provide an environment in which satisfying relationships can be built. However, the compatibility that players feel with others in the game may be artificially enhanced by game-based pre-selection. The paper further discusses how it is possible, also, that individuals are concealing information that may lead to other players drawing other conclusions about them, if that information was known. Research on MMORPG relationships is scarce, however, existing research shows that players experience greater emotional involvement in these games, rather than outside of them.
From the Paper
"Jason DesFlam is a husky young man with bright red hair, secured by a blue skullcap. He wears a silver chain-mail tunic, overlaid with a yellow doublet and leggings of red dragon scales. In Ultima Online, Jason is a powerful paladin warrior, capable of both armed combat and simple spell-casting. His blue ostard--a creature that is a combination of an ostrich and a lizard--is not the most powerful of creatures, but is a swift mount that possesses some combat skills of its own. Yet when Jason logs out in the inn, another identity emerges, a forty-five-year-old woman. No one in the game knows who "Jason" really is. They believe she fits the standard demographic of the game, a young man between the age of seventeen and twenty-four."

Dependent Personality Disorder, 2003.

Abstract
This paper examines how the pathological manifestation of dependency is a condition that has been the focus of a long line of personality theorists since the time of Freud. It looks at how pathological dependency has also been examined quite extensively by a multitude of personality researchers, and their efforts have yielded an extensive literature on the personality correlates of persons with dependent personality disorder (DPD). It shows how current research into the personality of the dependent person emphasizes interpersonal behaviour and the variation that exists within current diagnoses of DPD persons and how the role of future researchers is to further our understanding of DPD from the interpersonal perspective and to apply diverse models of personality in order to gain a truly comprehensive understanding of the personality of the DPD person. Pathological dependency is a condition that has perplexed researchers for more than a century, and further research into the underlying personality structure of the dependent personality is imperative in understanding the etiology, symptomatology, and effective treatment of this intriguing disorder.
From the Paper
"Rather than proposing a specific course of development to explain personality development, Alfred Adler, another of Freud?s successors, theorized that individuals adopt a style of life, referring to the ways in which persons pursue their goals and strive for a sense of superiority. Adler believed that individuals are motivated by feelings of inferiority, and that the path toward psychological health involves striving for superiority to attain completion, which leads to a constructive lifestyle and a sense of psychological well-being (Adler, 1930). Neurosis, on the other hand, is theorized to be the result of a striving for personal superiority, leading to the adoption of a destructive lifestyle, and consequently resulting in some form of psychopathology. Adler believed that a person develops a distinctive style of life through the culmination of the person?s family experiences and their interpretations of these experiences."

Porter's Market Analysis of the Online Retail Market
From the Paper
"There is no doubt that the environment within which the organization operates has a great influence on the market share of the product lines of the company. Similarly, there is no doubt that the environment within which the organization operates has a great influence on the sales that the company can hope to make using online retail concepts. For example, a market that has a large number of Internet users will have larger volume of online purchasers. At the same time however, the Internet can also offer individuals located at destinations that are very geographically apart an option to purchase products that might have otherwise not been available to them. Therefore, a customer in Taiwan could purchase a product from a store based in the U.S., U.K. or Australia without ever having to leave their homes."

From the Paper
"Based on the status model of personality, there is a distinct "pecking order" in place in virtually all police departments across the country that helps initiate newcomers to the profession into the field; new recruits to the force will ignore this hierarchy at their peril. According to Gerber, the high-status officer in each partnership type will be perceived as having more instrumentally oriented (dominating and instrumental) traits and the low-status officer will be viewed as having more expressive traits. In addition, the status model predicts that officers' perceptions of their personality traits will be affected by group status-the overall status of their partnership in relation to other kinds of partnerships. In her review of Gerber's analysis, Monago suggests that this study showed that sex category and work experience played instrumental roles in personality adjustments."

Online Star Newspaper: 27 April 2007
Printed Version
From the Paper
"When scrutinising advertisements in the two editions of the newspaper it is visible that the products and target markets were different based on the media being used. Despite that fact, advertisements are important to both versions of the newspaper. In terms of user friendliness, both newspaper versions have their problems and advantages, with the paper edition being part of a societal and historical habit, despite being more difficult to navigate compared to the electronic version. The electronic version tends to overcrowd the homepage, leading to confusion at times. Finally, interactivity is the element that best separates the two versions of newspaper that have been compared. The paper version is a classic that has been and will be around for a very long time; however, it cannot compete with the vast interactivity offered by the electronic version. Ultimately, online journalism adds a new and useful dimension to a profession that always has use for new forms of communication and information."

"The company was founded in 1978 and has grown to become the ?world's largest home improvement specialty retailer and the second largest retailer in the United States? . Indeed, sales have reached $58.2 billion in 2002 and the company continued to diversify its services so as to attract a larger category of consumers. Entering e-business was only one of the methods by which shopping at Home Depot became easier and simpler.
Having browsed the www.homedepot.com, I have noticed several defining elements of e- business at Home Depot. First of all, the website is not only a commercial portal. Besides the Browse and Buy Products option, the company offers theoretical advice on how to install or repair things within the house through its Know- How and Projects link and offers information on its Installation Services."

From the Paper
"Meanwhile, the coming of the new millennium has brought new and more challenging technologies. Different forms of communications such as Internet, mobile phones and SMS, Internet chat or MIRCs, and e-groups penetrated majority of the countries around the world. Communication through computer - generated networks became very visible. This enables any individual to talk with someone you cannot see in a face-to-face basis, to buy something and have it delivered without having to go out of your home, to research for any information with just one click on the Internet, or to meet new friends. Even on - line studies or distance education through computer - generated communication sprouted like mushrooms. More and more schools started to offer distance form of learning to accommodate students who, due to lack of time, opted to enroll in a much "scheduled-free" learning method. Furthermore, the idea of learning through online gave birth to online academic communities, as pioneered by Stanford University's Club Nexus. This academic community brings the students of the same preference closer to one another and at the same time broadens the students "world"."

Personality Development, 2004.
An analysis of the development of a person's personal identity.
858 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the development of one's personality. Based on a combination of the opinions of experts and the author's personal observations, the paper contends that all human personality development is variable and different. The paper also claims that personality development springs from complicated interactions of 'nature' and 'nurture' plus outside environmental characteristics, such as social and cultural expectations, peer group interactions and the influences of teachers and other relatives.
From the Paper
" Within all human beings, personal identity, or the image one has of oneself, is affected by an intricate mixture of genetic and environmental variables, unique to every individual. For example, studies have shown that even among identical twins raised under identical circumstances within the same households, less-than-identical personality characteristics emerge (Vandell, 2000; Harris, November 2000). According to Lykken (1997), the good or bad influences of one's peer group have more to do with personality development than often assumed, but others (Tavris, 1998; Vandell, 2000; Harris, November 2000) feel that a child's personality is most responsible for personality development.

"PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT
Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to present a brief overview of personality assessment. To this end, the paper discusses the definition of personality: some of the major differences in the tests use to assess personality; validity and reliability concerns associated with different categories of assessment; and the advantages and disadvantages associated with assessment differences.
Definitions
Although, generally, personality refers to certain stable patterns of behavioral and psychoemotional traits (Samuel, 1992), there is a lack of consensus in terms of establishing a precise definition of the construct. This is because theorists ..."
