From the Paper
"Frederick Brant Rentschler had a dream to build a lighter, stronger and more reliable aircraft engine. Rentschler found everything he needed to make his vision reality at the Pratt and Whitney Tool Company in Connecticut. Pratt and Whitney (P&W) had the machines, financing, facilities, and almost everything needed to produce aircraft engines. Rentschler believed that the future of aviation relied upon the manufacture of light weight but powerful engines. Engine technology was at a turning point in aviation history in 1925, when the entire industry was leaning towards the production of water-cooled engines. At that time only Rentschler seemed to realize that the future of aviation lied with light, air-cooled engines, instead of the much heavier water-cooled versions. The Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Company was contracted to build engines for the Navy shortly after the first engines were produced. The engine impressed naval officials with its unprecedented performance, speed and reliability. Since then P&W has been the major supplier of aircraft engines for the United States Military. In 1929 Rentschler left the Pratt and Whitney Company and founded the United Aircraft and Transport Corporation. Rentschler was allowed to continue using the Pratt and Whitney name. The United Aircraft and Transport Corporation is now known as United Technologies, and is the parent company of P&W."

Outline:
Part I: Internal Communication Structure
Part II: P & W Challenges and Future
From the Paper
"According to online sources, Pratt & Whitney is very much a decentralized organization, with various product centers run like independent businesses (Partington para.6). It is difficult to ascertain precisely the precise number of "management layers" at P & W, but we know from our course work that P & W is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation (UTC) and that it consists of five subordinate divisions. Furthermore, we know that the Integrated Program Deployment (IPD) process "bridges" all business functions into a single "program team". Be that as it may, little is revealed about the number of management layers at P & W until one examines another online source which reveals that the company is divided by its major production areas (military/commercial engines, space products) and from there into smaller program areas (military engine programs, business development international programs) which contribute to the realization of objectives in the major production areas."

It also examines its share of the current market, its competition, and its prospects of future gains.
From the Paper
"The terrorist attacks of September 11 and their aftermath have had a profound affect on the aerospace and defense industry, especially for companies that depend upon the commercial aerospace sector. The defense market accounted for about fifty percent of the aerospace and defense industry's sales in 2000, but that number is expected to grow as a result of the commercial aerospace meltdown, the war on terrorism, and the war in Iraq. President Bush's newest defense budget calls for a spending increase of about fifteen percent, and that figure doesn't include the $78 billion War Supplemental Appropriations bill. The benefactors of the increased spending will likely be the large companies that dominate the market such as UTC and Boeing among others."

Abstract
This paper discusses the theories found in "Arts of Contact Zone" as seen in the communication style of Malcolm X. Pratt's concept of a 'contact zone' is introduced and then defined in terms of Malcolm X. Examples of his leadership and communication style are given as they fit with the theories of Pratt.
From the Paper
""Arts of the Contact Zone." By Pratt, Mary Louise, states the art of conversation, and communication depends upon varying cultures, their dominance over one another and the perspective that one sees the other from its own. Malcolm X?s autobiography published shortly after his murder in 1965, relates in the matter of communication, and ?contact zone? so highly accomplished with his group of people that only a physical gesture of a finger was sufficient enough to silence a crowd of millions, in a public gathering."

Abstract
The paper examines Roberts' "Tantramar Revisited" and Pratt's "Silences" and reveals the very different, almost opposed representation of nature in their poems. The paper discusses how Roberts conceives of nature as invested with spirituality, while Pratt views nature as something primordial and primitive, in contrast to man's extraordinary spiritual evolution.
From the Paper
"Charles G. D. Roberts and E. J. Pratt are two of the best known Canadian poets, both belonging roughly to the same late Romantic tradition. Their poetry has often been put side by side, especially due to the major prevalence of nature as a poetic theme in their all their writings. In turns, both Roberts and Pratt have been likened to one of the great English Romantic poets who were their predecessors. Thus, Roberts is indebted to Wordsworth, whom he follows faithfully in most of his work. On the other hand, connections can be found between Pratt's and William's Blake poetry, although in this case the influence may have been less conscious."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes Martin Luther King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech as presented in Mary Louise Pratt's essay "Arts of the Contact Zone." The paper gives a brief description of King's life and the impact his speech had on the civil rights movement. The reviewer defines Pratt's term "autoethnographic text" which was used in the essay to describe the speech. The paper then outlines and analyzes King's speech, using quotations. The paper concludes by stating that King felt black and white Americans had far more commonalities than differences.
From the Paper
"Martin Luther King gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. on August 28, 1963, during a massive march calling for black civil rights. King was a Baptist minister who worked tirelessly for civil rights until his assassination in 1968. King's speech helped mobilize the black community to work for civil rights and helped show the white community just what blacks faced in terms of segregation, bigotry, and prejudice. It also is an excellent example of the art of the contact zone - specifically how different groups can view the same experience with very different eyes."

"The American Effect", 2004.
Critical review of the art exhibit on display at the Whitney Museum, entitled "The American Effect".

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper describes and reviews the art exhibits on display at the Whitney Museum. The paper points out that the exhibits tend toward stereotypical portrayals of American society and American citizens and offer very little new insight or point of views about America.
From the Paper
"In summary, ?The American Effect? tells us a great deal about how the world sees America as a nation, and how the world views the contemporary American as an individual. Unfortunately, if ?The American Effect? is any true judge of the world?s view of America, the rest of the globe is a long way from developing any novel and insightful glimpses into either America or Americans. Put simply, ?The American Effect? is a bit of a disappointment for anyone hoping to come away with any new insights into the American psyche. The individual displays themselves are sometimes excellent and revealing, but as a whole the collection fell disappointingly short of my expectations."

From the Paper
"The quarrel which climaxed in an American declaration of war on Great Britain in June, 1812, revolves around one central factor in world affairs, according to historian Bradford Perkins: "America chose to remain neutral while Britain struggled for her life against Napoleon.". In this struggle, Britain forcibly enlisted seamen from captured American merchant ships. England also instituted the unprecedented executive Orders in Council. These were meant to deprive Napoleon of essential goods and to reopen trade with the Continent. American seamen lost their liberty, the merchant his ships and the farmer a market for his crops.
Impressment was the most aggravating and persistent American complaint. This much appears clear. But there are many reasons cited for America's declaration of war. Here are some of them, ... "

Race Through Modern Cinema, 2004.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Fictional and non-fictional stories differ in the impact that each has on an audience. This paper examines how the 1998 murder of James Byrd in Whitney Dow's and Marco Williams' documentary, "The Two Towns of Jasper", may have a more powerful effect on the viewer than the death of "Radio Raheem," played by actor Bill Nunn in Spike Lee's fictional film, "Do the Right Thing". It looks at how Dow and Williams presented a realistic and unbiased piece of work while Spike Lee's depiction may be questionable. It concludes that many would agree that de facto segregation has a critical influence in the way people see each other.
From the Paper
"The death of "Radio Raheem" led to significant changes in the neighborhood. Sal's pizzeria was destroyed and the Italian-Americans were no longer welcome in Bed-Sty. "Buggin Out," a black character in the film, who was trying to boycott Sal's place after Sal (Danny Aiello) refused to hang photos of prominent African-Americans on the walls, had finally gotten the black community on his side. Up until riot scene, none of the other blacks in the neighborhood, except "Radio Raheem," would follow him and the reason for that was that everybody loved Sal's food."

Cotton Gin, 2007.
An analysis of the history and impact of the invention of the cotton gin.
1,362 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the invention of the cotton gin at the end of the eighteenth century marked the beginning of American industry in many ways, as it adapted a new technology to agriculture and increased the ability of an industry to produce at a saving in cost and time. It looks at how Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin in 1793 and how the principle he employed would then be used in thousands of cotton gins around the world, at one time preparing over 98 percent of the American crop for market.
From the Paper
"The invention also changed the nature of agriculture thereafter. Only a few farmers raised cotton at the time, and black-seed or long-staple cotton was the only viable cotton crop. While the seeds could be removed from this variety easily, the crop could not be raised profitably beyond the Sea Islands of South Carolina and Georgia or more than fifty miles inside the interior of the coastal plain. In 1793, the farmers in South Carolina and Georgia only raised about three million pounds, and by 1811, southern farmers were producing 80 million pounds. Because of the invention of the cotton gin, cotton culture was able to expand to the West (Hurt 93)."

Abstract
This paper systematically reviews current literature regarding the lead role of psychiatric nurses in the diagnosis and treatment of elderly psychiatric patients. It reviews and discusses two articles for this purpose: "Effectiveness of a Nurse-Based Outreach Program for Identifying and Treating Psychiatric Illness in the Elderly" by P.V. Rabins, B.S. Black, R. Roca, P. German, M. McGuire, B. Robbins et al and "Does a Nurse-Led Mental Health Liaison Service for Older People Reduce Psychiatric Morbidity in Acute General Medical Wards? A Randomized Controlled Trial" by R. Baldwin, H. Pratt, H. Goring, A. Marriott and C. Roberts.

Summary
From the Paper
"These two studies exemplify the need for more improvisation in terms of health care delivery. These two approaches showcase the untapped potential of nursing professionals in the larger setting of public health. In spite of the prevalent shortage of nurses, professional development in terms of role expansion is essential in order to ensure that the profession does not fall into complacency. Both studies are potentially replicable with adjustments made in methodology according to the setting and population in question. It should also be noted that, while the main objective of these studies is treatment efficacy, subsequent studies should also focus on other aspects of health care such as the consequences of missed mental health surveillance (e.g. PATCH). While analyses of some demographic factors in both studies (e.g. ethnicity, marital status, educational attainment) may have magnified or lessened the statistical impact of the interventions, it may be prudent to replicate these studies in similar settings as well as other, needier ones."
