Abstract
This paper discusses phonological awareness. It looks at what phonological awareness is, how it is formed, and what to do if deficits are shown. The problems that occur when there are deficits in phonological awareness are also discussed and ideas for intervention are provided.
From the Paper
"Since phonological awareness develops over time, children must be given adequate support to enhance the skill that they are learning at a given time. This is not to say that children can only gain knowledge of one aspect of phonological awareness at a time, but only that skills should be fostered as they develop instead of just pushing the child immediately on to the next skill. Phonological awareness should not be expected to adhere to a strict stage theory of development; "children refine phonological awareness skills they have acquired while they are learning new phonological skills" (Anthony & Francis, 2005, p. 256)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the effects on children's developmental progress when they are given systematic explicit instruction in phonemic awareness. It discusses the ways in which phonological awareness and phonemic awareness, including how to teach and assess them, has made an extremely valuable contribution to understanding how to teach reading to all children, including children with learning disabilities or delays in early reading.
From the Paper
"Other findings reveal that opportunities to play with language result in the development of phonemic awareness (Wasik 2001). In one 1987 study, young children who were knowledgeable about nursery rhymes and who had opportunities to manipulate sound in language also had well-developed phonemic awareness (Wasik 2001). Nursery rhymes are a natural way to expose children to words that sound the same, and research suggests that by learning rhymes, poems, and jingles, children develop awareness of sounds in words (Wasik 2001). Therefore, natural play with language can encourage children to attend to the sounds that words make (Wasik 2001). Research demonstrates that teaching phonemic awareness to 1st and 2nd graders who have had difficulty reading resulted in significant improvements in their ability to read and spell words, thus it is important for adult to create opportunities for children to learn phonemic awareness (Wasik 2001)."

From the Paper
"Some refer to the process of measuring awareness as an information audit (Dobson, 2001). This audit determines where information comes from in an organization, where it goes, how it is used, who manages and shares it and who may process information (Dobson, 2001). An information awareness or audit should be customized to an organization and focus on "awareness, relevance, usability and unmet needs" with respect to business information systems (Dobson, 2001). An organization may also need to assess how information moves within the organization (Dobson, 2001)."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"In fact, there are many that might argue that a quantitative approach is preferable to a qualitative approach in all situations regardless of the phenomena being studied (Myburgh, Poggenpoel & Van Der Linde, 2001) because it lends itself to less 'subjective analysis.' However further exploration into the matter suggests that qualitative analysis is not subjective in nature and may in fact be the preferred method for research analysis into complex behavioral issues, particularly when the researcher is attempting to determine patterns in behavior and conduct (Myburgh, et. al, 2001).
That there is a great deal of 'opinion' surrounding the issue of both qualitative and quantitative research methodology cannot be argued. Thus research will be examined from both perspectives, qualitative and quantitative, in order to ascertain which methodology is best suited to provide detailed analysis of the PALS program, and in order to determine which methodology should be adopted by the researcher to provide adequate insight into the given phenomena that the researcher is attempting to explore. No conclusions will be made with regard to the legitimacy of either research approach until the final portion of this analysis, where a determination will be made as to whether a qualitative or quantitative approach is more appropriate in this particularly setting."

Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that cases like those of Terri Shiavo and Robert Kenneth Durksen put the moral quandaries regarding comatose victims to the forefront of the public's mind. The writer notes that only by fully understanding the condition, and answering questions such as whether or not there is awareness in comatose patients, can the public make informed decisions, when sensitive situations occur. This paper provides an overview of the comatose condition, followed by a review of literature regarding awareness in comatose patients. The writer then presents conclusions drawn from this information, in hopes of shedding further light on such a delicate topic.

Introduction
Comatose Overview
Literature Review Regarding Comas and Coma Awareness
Analysis of Findings
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The medical term comatose is derived from the Greek word koma, meaning a deep sleep. A comatose patient is in a deep state of unconsciousness that is characterized by the loss of reactivity to external stimuli and absence of spontaneous nervous activity, and cannot be awakened. Coma victims have usually experienced injury or disease of the cerebrum."
"The origin of the injury affects the different patterns of coma. Losses of consciousness for short durations may be caused by concussions, whereas the lack of oxygen, or anoxia, may lead to a coma that lasts for several weeks or is fatal. Sudden loss of consciousness in some patients may be caused by a stroke, which is a rupture or blockage of the vessels that supply blood to the brain."

Developing Awareness, 2007.
An analysis of the factors that contribute to developing awareness of the world around oneself.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the ideal of being able to develop awareness of the world around oneself. It goes into detail about the factors that make this awareness possible. It discusses a willingness to subject oneself to new ideals and release internal beliefs about what it means to be conscious or aware. It looks into the need to forgo one's reliance on factual information and instead come to recognize the symbolism apparent in every day activity. Finally, the paper explores how one's own perceptions are biased and often rely on factual or idealized versions of what is real, versus what is perhaps, unreal.
From the Paper
"Nabokov (2000) interestingly asserts that "common sense" reveals that we exist and reminds us of our existence, but is only a "brief crack of light between two extremities of darkness." Like Keller he asserts that true consciousness does not arise from mere experiences or perceptions of experiences alone. The author suggests that the collective conscious is often directed by rigid rules of society, and one have but reach out and tap into their own self and identity to awaken their conscious and perhaps begin to capture a glimmer of true awakening. Inner knowledge comes from perception that is not tainted by memory but rather open to new revelations that should not result from reflexive acts but rather new experiences. This is much as Keller would suggest, that mankind could raise his awareness or conscious if only he stopped relying on the obvious and instead takes a moment to explore that which is not obvious or that which is unusual and new."

Abstract
The paper shows that, when approached from a metaphorical and mythological stand-point, Franz Kafka's "Metamorphoses", about an office worker who mutates into a bug, becomes universal and important. It shows how "Metamorphoses" is the story of the human soul's journey towards awareness and enlightenment, with some of the main themes being journeying and traveling.
From the Paper
"Before taking the form of an insect, Gregor lived what might be considered a dehumanizing, and certainly repetitive and unsoulfull life. He was single-handedly supporting his family and repaying his father's debts. His first thoughts after the transformation are of how to catch his train and keep his job. Yet at the same time Gregor reminisces of how he hates his workplace, and wishes he could tell off his boss. He has never been authentic in life until the moment he becomes a bug. With every passing moment in bug form, outward appearance of reality becomes more and more true to the inner face of actual reality. Gregor's family becomes unable to understand his speech: in truth they had never communicated with him. His room is stripped of its furnishings and filled with trash: really his life had never held anything of meaning. Gregor learns to make reality truthful. He becomes unwilling to eat because he cannot find food that he wants. In this self-starving he finds an integrity he never had before, an ability to insist that he be true to his nature. One could easily speak of this restless search for a satisfying food as a metaphor for the journeying search for enlightenment and truth in awareness. "

Abstract
This paper explain that the question of when, or even whether, Jesus knew that he was God has been debated by theologians since Christ's crucifixion. The author reviews the questions surrounding this issue by reflecting upon the distinction between the ascent and descent theological approaches to the nature of Jesus. The paper concludes that, while it is clear that Jesus had some perceptions concerning his special relationship with God, there is very little in the New Testament that indicates any full awareness of his role and purpose in life before his baptism; however, during his public ministry, Jesus demonstrated a clear understanding of who he was. The paper contains many quotations.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Although humankind has always believed infancy and early childhood to be uniquely significant, it was not until the early half of the twentieth century that consistent research was conducted into the way in which children emotionally develop. Freud (1949), who was the foremost major theorist to highlight the importance of infancy and young childhood, strongly believed that "the ways babies are treated establish lifelong orientations and personality traits", while other behaviorists, including the Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget, explored children's cognitive growth."

Abstract
The paper's ethics analysis shows how Mr. Anderson's ethical perspective is very results oriented and demands that the appearance of ethical standards and decision-making be substantiated by actual ethical conduct. The paper maintains that by utilizing the full arsenal of ethical training such as ethics awareness inventory analyses, ethics can be elevated to a business level competency that should influence business strategy.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The results of the ethical awareness inventory analysis indicate that I view ethics more project-oriented rather than process-oriented (Anderson, 2006). That is, while many others may debate the nature and character of ethics and the mechanism that goes into defining them, I view ethics as being largely results oriented or based on the outcome of actions regardless of the ethical debate antedating any action. According to the results, I am most concerned about achieving the greatest good for the greatest number of individuals possible. Yet, these results reveal a considerable amount of friction regarding my ethical perspective."

Abstract
The paper studies the events of October 1948, when a temperature inversion trapped the town of Donora, Pennsylvania in a cloud of smog from local zinc and steel smelting plants for several days, killing an estimated 20 people and leaving many seriously injured. The paper shows how after the incident public perceptions about industrial environmental pollution were indelibly changed and the subsequent increase in demand for risk information influenced many sectors of industrial and political operations--ultimately prompting the nation's first Clean Air Act.
From the Paper
"Donora, Pennsylvania: "It was once the home of the world's best steel mill, the world's biggest zinc mill and the world's worst air pollution" (Templeton, 1994, p. W1). Given these less than innocuous distinctions, it is perhaps not surprising to us today that the small mill town of Donora was the site of the first known American deaths from air pollution (Coates, 1998). However, in the earlier part of 1948--when the Great Depression was still a vivid and unwelcome memory in the minds of many people--billowing clouds of smog, like those that had hovered for years over the Monongahela River valley mill town of Donora, were seen as a sign of prosperity, not as a harbinger of death (Kiester, 1999). Air pollution concerns were unheard of in Donora in the early 1940s; smoke from the local zinc and steel mills was an accepted and welcomed part of life (Coates, 1998)."

From the Paper
Many anthropologists find the use of primate studies as a way of understanding human development to be a flawed approach. Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Lewentin, for instance, question the validity of sociobiology and see it as a case of circular reasoning: "In making this point, Gould and Lewontin see sociobiologists devising their scenarios to create highly simplistic, perfectly adaptive situations--a condtioin rarely (if ever) found in nature" (Turnbaugh, Jurmain, Nelson, and Kilgore, 1996, 196). However, such criticism relates more to how the questions are framed and answered than to the basic question of how valuable primate studies can be in helping our understanding of human behavior and culture. The criticism noted above does show the danger of allowing affective thinking..."
