Abstract
In this paper, the writer notes that as a profession that directly involves working with people, teaching is a very arbitrary profession. What constitutes "good" teaching is considered even more arbitrary, as the writer points out that definitions of good vary from person to person. Furthermore, the writer discusses that perceptions of teaching vary from student to student, each of whom has his or her own ideals and expectations regarding good teachers. A good teacher, in the writer's view, should connect with his or her students in a personal and targeted way. Most importantly, the teacher has a responsibility to make the teaching experience enjoyable for students. The writer concludes that students tend to be more responsive to a learning experience that is associated with enjoyment than one associated with pain or worse, boredom.
From the Paper
"Aesthetic enjoyment can also be used to bring about the integrated sense of humanity that has become so important in the more tolerant 21st century. Multicultural classrooms can for example learn to appreciate the aesthetics of the art from a variety of cultures. In the scientific classroom, children can learn to appreciate the visual beauty created by combining certain formulae. Nature, as Haynes also states, can also be appreciated in an aesthetic sense for its beauty and uncorrupted wildness."
"While aesthetic appreciation is conventionally associated with the visual and the other physical sense perceptions, it can also relate to other forms of enjoyment, such as the imaginative appreciation of literature. Students can learn to expand their imagination via not only an appreciation of work written by others, but also by creating literature of their own. This can again be combined with pragmatism and functionalism in terms of learning language and grammatical structures and usage."

I found the teacher to be very clear and informative, delivering constructive guidance throughout the session."

Abstract
This paper is a review and critique of the John C. Maxwell book "The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader". The author of this paper discusses Maxwell's writing, calling it effective and rich with compelling examples. The author agrees that the "indispensable" qualities Maxwell outlines are extremely important to leadership, but doubts whether any one person could posses them all. The paper concludes with the author's opinion that Maxwell missed out on one of the most important qualities --recognizing one's own weaknesses.
From the Paper
"Two qualities that impacted me while reading the book were focus and initiative. Every day we see successful people on television or in the newspaper or we come into contact with them in our daily lives. It is easy to look at these people and imagine ourselves as being as successful as they are. Although some of these people may not have the best character, they might not be the best listeners, and they might not all be easy to get along with, one thing that truly successful people all seem to have is initiative and focus. This is because in order to accomplish anything in life, you must take the first step toward accomplishing it. The world is full of people who want to have success who have a clear vision of what that success is. However, most of them do not have the initiative to start on the road toward accomplishing that success. Once you start on that road, it is even more difficult to stay focused and follow it through to the end. The world is also filled with distractions and people vying for your time. This is why I found these two traits to be the most important ones Maxwell has presented."

Abstract
The paper explains the five necessary qualities found in successful managers and how one can develop them. The qualities explored are-- a suitable personality, conscientiousness, emotional stability, openness to new experiences and having an outgoing personality.
From the Paper
"Normally we can conclude that people who are more competitively oriented oftentimes act in aggressive and uncooperative manners. To their way of thinking the only situation is one of win-lose, and they are often found trying to dominate others. This does not make for a successful leader, obviously. The more agreeable type person is one who is concerned with trying to satisfy both parties' concerns in a conflict. People who have an agreeable orientation tend to be highly assertive and highly co-operative in behavior. They seek a mutually beneficial solution, integration and win-win situations. It is easy to see this would make a more successful leader (McKenna 1995)."

Abstract
The paper explores leadership qualities in general. The paper then offers several personal observations and experiences regarding leadership within a production environment. The paper discusses team leadership, composition and motivational strategies.
From the Paper
"Several years ago the most successful CEOs were the models for effective team management and leadership upon which most business circles and academic programs built their leadership models. Yet, after the endless scandals beginning with Enron organizational management is realizing that these role models for effective leadership within an organization are not necessarily the most ideal in regards to effective team management and strategic vision: "Jack Welch, the former CEO of General Electric, is often used as a model of business leadership. Welch's excessive focus on immediate business objectives prevented him from leading through a broader and more humane moral horizon."(Thompson, 2004, para.1). As it turns out, such short-term, performance based objectives, while accomplishing the immediate task at hand, rarely return positive results in the long term."

From the Paper
"Jones is an example of how "hunger to learn" and "obsessive curiosity" are just as important qualities in team leaders as they are to the artists Jones represents. Learning is kept to embodying the principle of adaptability, the first quality of team leadership delineated in the text. (1) Adaptability, or bending but not being broken by the needs and ideas of others is important to being able to bounce off the creative ideas and ideals of musicians, Jones' example suggests."

»

Abstract
This paper is on the topic of satire, and although all individuals are exposed to this form of composition or literary device, it is also the case that there is a more rigorous and formal approach taken by literature scholars on the subject. The focus of this analysis is largely exegetical. A discussion will be made both in terms of the historical use of this form of expression, but also with respect to the particular qualities and attributes which go into defining the topic and subject of satire.

Abstract
The writer describes the leadership qualities he would ideally like to see in a candidate for the Presidency of the United States that include integrity, responsibility and a commitment to set a visionary and inspiring example the American people can admire and emulate. The writer argues that America is in desperate need of a charismatic transformational leader who will tell them the truth, inspire them and set an example of responsible governing in order to restore trust in the White House. The writer claims that this trust has been shattered by the current president and needs to be restored.
From the Paper
"The last seven years have been an endless spectacle of deceit and corruption. Because of relentless presidential abuses of power since 2001, a public consensus has formed in the United States and the world beyond that leading Bush Administration officials, including the president himself, are scheming liars, brazen hypocrites, and have nothing but contempt for the principles of democracy and the rule of law. They have acknowledged no limit to their power, reject every fact that does not coincide with their delusional worldview, and spend most of their time trying to cover up the abuses of power and obstructions of justice they have perpetrated for seven years."

Leadership Qualities, 2005.
A discussion of different studies on theories of leadership qualities.
750 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines and reviews two different studies on the leadership traits and qualities of effective leaders. The paper first summarizes and analyzes an article in the "Journal of Personality and Social Psychology" by D.K. Simonton, which approaches leadership assessment by using the personality theory. The paper then summarizes and analyzes "The Importance of Context: Qualitative Research and the Study of Leadership" by Bryman, Stephens, and Campo, which approaches leadership assessment by placing greater emphasis on qualitative research. Finally, the paper briefly explains the advantages of both approaches and why both research techniques can be useful in gleaning an accurate picture of how leaders really function in different environments.
From the Paper
"In the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, (1988), D.K. Simonton used the personality basis of leadership research that looks at the effectiveness of a leader as a result of particular personality traits. For this study, Simonton carried out an archival analysis of the personalities and personal histories of thirty-nine American presidents, and related that to their perceived effectiveness as Heads of State. An analysis of eight-two separate personality characteristics were ultimately reduced to five general categories; ?The interpersonal, charismatic, deliberative, creative, and neurotic styles.? (Simonton, 1988). Simonton makes the point that research into leadership is frequently concerned with the question of whether a great leader is born, or becomes a great leader according to circumstances. ?Is leadership a matter of being the right person, or is it due more to being at the right place at the right time?? (Simonton, 1988)."

"Why Improving Quality Doesn't Improve Quality", 2006.

Abstract
This paper aims to inform the reader, as expeditiously as possible, what was done, the outcome of the doing, and the investigator's conclusion, in the paper by Kordupleski, Rust, and Zahorik. The remainder of this review analyzes a particular professional article wherein a marketing concept was presented and evaluated, namely quality programs and process improvement techniques.
From the Paper
"presented and evaluated, namely quality programs and process improvement techniques.
When a manuscript is presented to the public or professional audience the first words a reader is drawn are those in the title of the article or report. Depending on what is included in the title will oftentimes determine whether or not a potential reader will read all that is contained in the manuscript. To this end the author or authors of a research report must, in the beginning, clearly define those concepts contained in the manuscript title. The authors claimed, by way of title, that the reporting of their information would be in the area of "quality" in marketing. Sometimes, however, a "catchy" title can become a significant enticement to spur the reader to read a manuscript regardless of how well or how poorly an article is written. Setting this aside, the thoroughness of overall content presentation is the most pivotal criteria for evaluating a professional journal article."

Abstract
This paper uses a quote by Samuel Johnson ("Nothing can please many, and please long, but just representations of general nature") as the foundation of an argument concerning the "timeless" qualities in various works of literature. Two stories are examined in order to better address this quote and these stories are "The Death of Ivan Ilych" by Leo Tolstoy and "The Tell- Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe.

The Nature and Qualities of Matter: Locke vs. Berkeley, 2001.
This paper compares John Locke's and George Berkeley's arguments regarding the nature of matter.
1,384 words (approx. 5.5 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 46.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay first outlines Locke's argument in Book II of "The Essay Concerning Human Understanding", illustrating the distinction between ideas of primary qualities and ideas of secondary qualities. The writer then examines the arguments of Berkeley in "A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge" against this distinction and against the possibility of matter.
From the Paper
"According to Locke there are two types of qualities found in bodies. First are the primary qualities of bodies, which are "utterly inseparable from the body, in what state soever it may be" (E., p. 502). To Locke, a primary quality exists independently of observation in every piece of matter within a body, regardless of the size of that piece: "division. . . only makes two or more distinct separate masses of matter of that which was one before" (E., p. 502). Therefore, primary qualities include the unchanging, mind-independent qualities of a body such as figure, motion or rest, number, extension, and solidity or impenetrability. Conversely, secondary qualities of bodies are "nothing in the objects themselves but powers to produce various sensations in us by their primary qualities" (E., p. 502). This power is attributable to the "bulk, figure, texture, and motion of their insensible parts" (E., p. 502)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the qualities and qualifications required to become a physician assistant. Physician assistants render healthcare services under the direct supervision of physicians and are formally trained to purvey diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive healthcare services. It describes the academic requirements to participate in the two year training course as well as capabilities and skills such as observation, communication, interpersonal skills and motor skills.
From the Paper
"The practice of medicine obligates Physician Assistant candidates and students to be able to form mature, sensitive, and effective relationships with patients and colleagues (rit.edu). To render high quality patient care Physician Assistant candidates and students must possess the attributes of adaptability, flexibility, and be able to function sometimes in the face of incertitude (rit.edu).

Qualities for Sales Success, 2002.
A look at the special characteristics and personality required to succeed as a salesperson.
1,161 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 40.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
To succeed in the varied and challenging environment in which they work, sales people need special qualities of character and temperament which are not commonly found among other people who work in finance, administration, engineering or manufacturing. This paper identifies these traits and expands on how they aid salespeople to become more successful in their careers. Several characteristics explored are good people-skills, empathy, ego-drive and ego-strength. The paper takes the example of Joe Girard as one of the world's most successful salesmen and analyzes his personality and methods.
From the Paper
"Each type of sales has its own requirements based on the use of the product or service, its market, its application and the needs of the end-user. Successful salespeople are well matched by temperament to their product and the markets and environments in which they will be selling. (Moine). While a person selling large ticket items or products requiring a long sales cycle would be better served by attributes of patience, that same person with those same characteristics might be inviting disaster attempting to selling smaller-ticket, high-turnover items and view that sales work as boring and repetitive. (Greenberg and Greenberg)."

From the Paper
"A: The key message for the classroom teacher is to develop an ability to observe students' different ways of expressing themselves, remembering that some students are able to learn from watching others, or listening to the teacher's views, whereas other students must perform an exercise practically, and from which such students often tend to learn quickly and concretely.
"B: The teacher should give instructions in different ways as in description, a demonstration of how she might perform the task, and when a task is underway, encouraging students. Work is not simply assigned and monitored for the class enters into a dynamic with the teacher involved."
