Abstract
This paper explains that stuttering is a complex disorder, with an etiology and severity level that varies from case to case. The author selected ?Harry Potter? and ?Primal Fear? as examples of stuttering stereotypes in films because, in both films, a character faked his disorder to convey a falsehood to people that he hoped to deceive. The paper relates that treating stuttering should be focused on the patient's hearing, seeing, feelings, and the effects the disorder has had on the person?s personality.

From the Paper
"Parents who are concerned that their preschool-age child may be a stutterer should be aware that what is considered ?normal? dysfluency can occur in ten of every one hundred spoken words. ( More recently, it has been suggested that dysfluencies can be categorized as ?stuttering-like? or ?other?. Stutter-like dysfluencies include blocks, repetitions, and prolongations. Other dysfluencies include interjections, revisions or deserted statements, and repetitions of phrases or multi-syllables."

"Primal Leadership" vs. "Getting Things Done", 2005.
A comparative analysis of "Primal Leadership" Daniel Goleman and "Getting Things Done" by David Allen.

Abstract
This paper examines how the two works, "Getting Things Done" and "Primal Leadership" deal with success and success achievement, but take entirely different routes. It looks at how "Primal Leadership" focuses on the intangibles: emotional intelligence that guides an organization towards success and how the focus is on relationships outside self. In comparison, it discusses how "Getting Things Done", focuses on self, isolates the reader from his or her peers and forces him or her to structure priorities to get work done. Both theories are briefly applied to the real estate industry.
From the Paper
"Specifically, Allen stresses the five stages of mastering work flow. First, there is the Collect stage. One must know what one must do first before one can do it. Allen asks us to process all of our collection of work efforts in several types of in-boxes: physical inbox, paper-based note-taking devices, electronic note-taking devices, voice-recording devices and email. The trick is to minimize your inbox collection devices so you only have a few places to look for tasks to be completed."

Barbara Sproul's Primal Myths, 2002.
Review of Barbara Sproul's discussion of archetypes and metaphores in creation myths.

Abstract
Myths often speak of archetypes in terms of prototypes. Rather, we inherit it to the extent we inherit our humanity; we inherit it through the form...the archetypical beginnings described in creation myths are absolute and essential. Rather, it is the search for the Archetypes - the metaphorical origins. Archetypes and their attendant metaphors are the initial points. Archetypes contain 'essences' or inherent qualities. Sproul's discussion engages in these qualities which are essential, 'at the core' and 'deep within'. Archetypes are timeless. Archetypes are developmentally simple.

Fractures from our Childhood, 2002.
This paper is an investigation of a psychological term called 'Primal Wounding' what it is and how it can be healed.

Abstract
This paper covers what childhood drama can do to a person, and how they can recover from it in adulthood. The process can be quite intense and may take many years. John Firman's book "The Primal Wound" is the main source for this paper. Also weaved in are the theories of Robert Assagioli's psychosynthesis, Hans Kohut's crystallization points, Kristina Grof's womb work, Piero Ferruci's sub-personalities, and Carl Jung's archetypes.
From the Paper
"In our early formative years we are all small, tiny pawns that can be moved from space to space, ignored, or resented for many various reasons. Whatever those reasons may be, we can be left with a deep fissure within our self, our soul. John Firman calls this fissure ?the primal wound.? Firman wrote the book The Primal Wound in 1997. Firman attempts to formulate a comprehensive outlook on childhood wounding by utilizing the work of Roberto Assagioli?s psychosynthesis. Psychosynthesis offers a broad outline of the human being that includes the suffering of early wounding and trauma. Psychosynthesis also focuses on the healing of primal wounding and the healthy development of the whole human being. Firman believes that, ?the primal wound is a result of a violation we all suffer in various ways. In this violation we are treated not as individual, unique human beings, but as objects.? (Firman, 1997). Firman deems that the beginnings of the initial wounding may not be traceable to any certain one event. ?The most apparent effect will be set in the relationship between the child and his/her parent or caregiver.? (Firman, 1997). This will form a deep recessive wound that will envelope the child as he/she grows up. This type of wounding is in comparison to that of Heinz Kohut?s ?crystallization points? in which trauma is inflicted to the child by ongoing internal injury put forward by the parent of caregiver. (Kohut, 1977)."

Religious Thought in World Perspective: First Traditions, 2002.
A discussion on the way in which primal religions began and their belief structures were formed.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The following paper discusses how primal religions are often misunderstood as history is often passed down orally due to no existence of written records. This paper examines how the written texts of the Bible, Torah, and Quran, over time, created a more literate society and helped to broaden the scope and area these religions now influence. The paper continues to discuss how religions today are followed, even into the Internet.
From the Paper
"When studying the Primal religions, it is imperative to remember that there was no written log of their beliefs. Their rights and rituals were passed down from generation to generation. Those selected within the population as the holy one; or mediator who could interact with the god or gods were the ones to pass down the oral traditions. As anyone today knows, if you";ve ever played the game ;telephone the message can be distorted as it is passed from person to person. The histories we have to read today are only the last version of the original story. Perhaps many were not corrupted and we are hearing the same that was told eons ago; but there is the possibility that what we are reading is far from the original."

William Shakespeare's "Othello", 2006.
This paper discusses the theme of jealousy in William Shakespeare's "Othello".
1,865 words (approx. 7.5 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 59.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that "Othello", like Shakespeare's other "big" plays, abounds in spectacular examples of theatrical effect, such as the brawls and the big pageantry;however, the theatrical effect of the rest of the play represents communication by gesture and look, the eloquent silences and whispered, spoken and shouted language. The author points out that jealousy in Shakespeare's "Othello" is a mask for the fear of death because what the jealous lover fears is that there will not be time or space enough for him. The paper relates that one of the peculiar splendors of "Othello" is that Othello's belated jealousy cannot be understood without first understanding Iago's primal envy of Othello, which is at the hidden center of the drama.
From the Paper
"Shakespeare's Iago appears in two aspects: his external appearance, as he reacts with others and his inner life as revealed by the soliloquies. Forget the soliloquies for a moment, and examine the face that Iago turns to the world. Here is a clever, ambitious man coolly manipulating others for his own ends. The current theories of will and reason he voices belong to his character both "psychologically" and dramatically. He denies the reality of loving feelings, they are only a lust of the blood, a permission of the will; he asserts the supremacy of the will and intelligence, ..."

Primary Styles of Love, Eros, 2006.
An analysis of Eros or primal love.
1,250 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines literature and research on the subject of Eros, the form of love equated with sexuality. The paper explains that Eros is often the target of scorn by religionists, sociologists and psychologists. Yet Eros was the first form of love, which was depicted in the story of Adam and Eve. The paper argues that the disparaging of Eros, in favor of other forms such as agape, has resulted in societal chaos and intense gender-based power struggles between man and woman. The paper examines the recent movement to return Eros to its once exalted role, and the prominent featuring of this movement in a number of articles published recently in academic journals cutting across a wide swath of communications-related disciplines.
From the Paper
"Another commentator regarding Eros in education is Adams. Writing in the Western Journal of Communication, she proposed that it was blasphemous to keep Eros out of the academic world. She notes that Plato taught that "Thought without Eros is empty; and Eros, if directed only toward the sensual, without thought, is blind." She quotes, as well, Audre Lord, whose teachings included the concept that Eros was irreducible, an essential part of each person's selfhood and therefore, to negate it-verbally or actively-was to deny one's own existence. A long article by Smith discussing the work of author Nadine Gordimer, notes that in her work, although the concepts were derived from Eastern thought, it is impossible to separate Eros from all other forms of love."

Abstract
This paper discusses psychoanalytical perspectives of taboos. It describes human behavior compared to primal urges and the human ability to restrain behavior. The paper then looks at the nature and purpose of social taboos as a mechanism of social control and their importance in society. It specifically discusses the views of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and Alfred Adler.
Table of Contents:
Modern Neo-Freudian Psychoanalytic Perspective
Primal Urges and Social Control
The Nature and Purpose of Social Taboos as a Mechanism of Social Control
The Human Animal and Implications of Contemporary Evolutionary Science
From the Paper
"With regard to most criminals whose crimes reflect choices rather than bona fide symptoms of psychological disease, the principal difference between law abiding members of society and criminals is simply the degree to which formalized rules and laws and informal social norms and taboos are effective at eliminating unwanted conduct. Generally, criminals differ from non-criminals only in their choices to act on their natural impulses despite the consequences; in most cases, however, non-criminals share many of the same underlying impulses, but choose not to act on them out of fear of the social consequences they entail. Ultimately, human beings are simply a more complex form of animal life whose superior intelligence allows them to enforce socially beneficial rules through formal law and informal mores and taboos. Without them, our conduct would be far less distinguishable from that commonly observed in other animals."

William Golding?s ?Lord of the Flies?, 2005.
This paper is a psychological analysis of William Golding's most popular novel "Lord of the Flies" incorporating Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud's concept of the darker, unrecognized side of man.
1,955 words (approx. 7.8 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, as William Golding implied in about the theme of "Lord of the Flies", this is not only a simple adventure story about a group of boys stuck on a remote island but also a highly symbolic tale, questioning what happens to civilization when its very core, man, loses touch with his cultured ways and resorts back to his primitive way of life. The author points out that Golding's use of symbolism in the novel is the type, which shifts in form but not in meaning; when he progressively changes Jack from "dark" to "shadow," he creates the personification of Jack as the primitive man. The paper stresses that, when man acknowledges that his primal tendencies are indeed present, he is consciously on the look out for it to appear out of nowhere; so he strives to suppress his instincts and he replaces it with a sense of morality.
From the Paper
"The novel, first published in 1954, came at a time in England, when people were still reeling from the effects of World War II. The events of that war shook Golding. He witnessed with his own eyes after joining the Royal navy, that the men who boast of his modernity and his high civilization are the very same men who created the war, joined in the killing and rejoiced in its so-called success. He discovered that these atrocities went far beyond the war and were carried on in the totalitarian states. Atrocities done by learned men, by men who had long ago established an institution of culture, to fellow human beings."

Abstract
Healthy early childhood development is highly dependent on some rather simple, yet profound variables. The first few feelings that an infant has are very basic instinctual attachments or bonding to his or her immediate environmental surroundings, including caregivers. Security is the primal most comforting feeling an infant has and if it is interrupted in these early often the result is an attachment disorder if not addressed properly. This particular case study is an exploration of child development during these early formative years.
From the Paper
"While Jason's demeanor is generally good, he has a tendency to be withdrawn at times in different social situations. After his mother returned to work, his maternal grandmother had helped take care of him for approximately six months afterward. After that time Jason was introduced to a local day care facility with an excellent reputation. Initially Jason reacted quite negatively to the situation, crying for some time after being left and refusing to participate in any classroom activities, but eventually he could be left for the day without incident. However he continued to be withdrawn during playtime activities and had minimum of socialization with the other children."

Stem Cell Research, 2006.
This paper examines the social, moral and ethical merits of stem cell research, as well the ongoing political debate regarding the funding for continued research in this controversial field of science.

Abstract
This paper defines stem cells as primal undifferentiated cells which retain the ability to separate into other cell types which can be used as a repair mechanism to reproduce cells and repair systems in the body. The writer examines the negative side of stem cell research contending that there is evidence which states that the impact of this type of research on the human immune system as well as overall genetic growth will eventually decline. This paper also discusses the moral and ethical merits of stem cell research which is currently rife with controversy. Politics plays a large role in stem cell development, mainly due to funding. The writer contends that stem cells are too dangerous to be carelessly used and applied to the human race, while its continued research might be slightly beneficial, in the current stage the harms far outweigh the benefits.
From the Paper
"The first step in analyzing the effects of stem cell research is through the scientific perspective. Stem cell research is important for the advancement of science because of its ability to replicate exact copies of different cells. Stem cells are obtained from a clone of the specific patient's cells, and thus have a genetically identical fit with a stem cell. This cell then has the ability to produce either missing tissue, or even an entire organ that will allow the patient to function as normal. Unlike transplants within the body that could be rejected by the immune system if there is a possibility of incompatibility, the stem cell created organ is a perfect construction of the body's organ and thus will be accepted as the original inside the patient's body. This is why stem cell research is so highly touted, it allows for a new frontier of technology in the health sciences industry."

Police in Society, 2004.
An insight into the social science of police work.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how one of the primal responsibilities of the state is the protection of its citizens and how the police officer is a community?s first line of defense again crime and chaos. He or she captures the killers, tracks down the predators, and apprehends the robbers. It looks at how allocation of human and physical resources, loyalty to community expectations, and sensitivity to the needs of special groups such as the mentally ill are the concerns of every police organization in America.
From the Paper
"While graffiti-covered storefronts and car window washing ?squeegee men? might be little more than nuisances, there are other public problems that are not so easily dealt with, nor in any way directly connected to instances of much more serious crime. Mentally ill individuals who have been released from treatment facilities with no where to go, and also those deranged persons who, perhaps, have never been locked away in institutions can present a real hazard to passers-by and to local residents in general. It is, however, the term ?hazard? that must be emphasized here. Not every mentally ill homeless person is a hazard either to himself or herself, or to passers-by. Though ?zero tolerance? policies such as that described above have enjoyed considerable success in reducing serious crime by largely eliminating the little nuisances of civilized living, there is also a danger present that these policies can take on a eugenic quality."

Abstract
This paper contends that "To Build a Fire", is one of the finest examples of London's fictional brilliance and how his style alone sets him apart as one of the most memorable writers of modern American writing. The author discusses how he admires London's captivating and true-to-life style of addressing the primal relationship between man and the forces of nature and how his frank style should not be underestimated.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Although the physical setting of the story in the Yukon was pertinent to the plot of the story and the storyline itself, my opinion is that it was not important to the overall meaning. Did the author describe the setting in clear and vivid detail? Yes, absolutely. Did the author depict the setting in such a way as to transport the reader there? Definitely. I had no issues with London's use of the setting itself or how he described it, but in terms of using it to expose some measure of meaning in the story, I think the setting is interchangeable. In other words this same story, allowing for certain necessary adjustments to the plot, could take place anywhere. Anywhere that man could encounter nature that is. London could have placed this man in the desert, the middle of the ocean, in a jungle, on a mountaintop or in a cave and still have been able to express the theme. "

"Heart of Darkness", 2008.
This paper focuses on the wilderness in Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness".
1,092 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines Joseph Conrad's classic 1899 serialized short novel "Heart of Darkness", interpreting the book as a look at the effect of the wilderness upon seemingly civilized men. The paper focuses on how an encounter with such wild primal energies can penetrate the veneer of civilized conditioning and even destroy it, leading to what Conrad refers to as madness.
From the Paper
"Joseph Conrad's classic 1899 serialized short novel Heart of Darkness has been examined from various angles, utilizing diverse literary as well as political and economic approaches. The most frequently encountered tactic of analysis for this story of adventure and inner conflict has probably been from the perspective of colonialism and the attitudes of late 19th/early 20th century Europeans (especially British and French) toward their colonial possessions in Africa, including their pragmatically Machiavellian treatment of both natural and human resources therein."
