Abstract
This paper explains that children are bombarded daily with evocative material and today's technological society makes sheltering them almost impossible. Therefore, parents must instill respect, honor and wisdom in them during early childhood but this is not an easy job. The author points out that a key component to successful child-rearing is consistency; no matter which parenting technique is used, each will fail if not used consistently. The paper stresses that a common misconception among parents is that respect should be demanded; however, respect should actually be earned because respect gained by imposing fear on a child is false.

From the Paper
"Raising strong, competent children begins with a strong, committed marriage. A child from a single-parent home can succeed, but studies show children thrive best when both parents take an active role. Yet the national divorce rate is at an all-time high and divorce can annihilate a family and the self-efficacy of a child. According to childhood psychologist Erik Erikson, children model what they see. In other words, actions speak louder than words. When parents model love, respect, shared workload, and kindness they will develop these same attributes in their children. However, this works both ways, if children are subjected to a hostile, sarcastic, unloving environment, they will assume these attitudes."

Abstract
This paper gives a detailed description and historic background of Venetian artist Jacopo Tintoretto's master-work "The Raising of Lazarus." The author highlights Tintoretto's life and career, pointing out his stylistic development. The paper then describes "The Raising of Lazarus" as the pinnacle of Tintoretto's career, commenting on the style, composition and iconography of the piece. The author concludes that "The Raising of Lazarus" has artistic value centuries later and is well worth a thorough evaluation by modern audiences.
From the Paper
"Tintoretto, who was born in 1519 and lived until 1594, was one of the most prolific painters of his time and place. His real name was Jacopo Robusti. He received his name as a painter, Tintoretto, from his father's profession of being a dyer (wga). Tintoretto's vivid use of color in his paintings may come from his father's occupation as well. Tintoretto lived and worked in Venice nearly his whole life where he was said to aggressively pursue artistic commissions. This did not make him popular with his fellow painters as he frequently undercut their prices. Although he may have made enemies among his peers, his business methods did make him a busy and successful artist. Since he frequently received commissions in his native city, many of his paintings can still be seen in the various churches and buildings for which they were originally painted (wga). "

The Raising of Lazarus, 2004.
An analysis of the New Testament story of the raising of Lazarus.
1,632 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the miracle performed by Jesus of the raising of Lazarus from the dead. The paper contends that this miracle, as it is described in the Gospel of John, holds some very key elements for the true Christian. First, it confirms that Jesus Christ was indeed capable of performing miracles that not only helped his fellow people, but also supported his divine nature as the one and only 'Son of God'. But most importantly, the resurrection of Lazarus, the eventual raising of Jesus Christ from the dead, and his ascent into heaven reinforces the faith of all believers that someday they too will follow in his footsteps to become one with God, and thus conquer death to live eternally as Jesus himself had promised in the Gospels of the New Testament.
From the Paper
"Of all the miracles ascribed to Jesus Christ in the New Testament, the raising of Lazarus from the dead is clearly the most inspiring and "miraculous." For Christians, all of the promises prescribed by God are fulfilled in the death and resurrection of Lazarus, for it represents "the final and definitive action by God for the sake of the human race and illustrates His divine power in what we have come to recognize as reality" (Fuller 87). The raising of Lazarus also represents the culmination of New Testament theology and symbolizes the ultimate transformation of all things connected to the divinity of Jesus Christ."

Abstract
This paper discusses the oil painting "The Raising of Lazarus," by Venetian artist Jacopo Tintoretto. It begins by describing the life and training of Tintoretto and lists some of his most famous works. The paper then goes into detail about "The raising of Lazarus." It primarily discusses the scene depicted in the painting and the abundance of detail that exists in the picture.
From the Paper
"Tintoretto painted many Biblical scenes during his career. Each offered something to the audience that would take time to study. Each one of his famous canvases also showcased his skill as an artist. The Raising of Lazarus is no different. All of the elements that made Tintoretto a memorable name from the Venetian Renaissance appear in this piece. He uses the contrast of light and dark, a vivid and powerful use of color, and a dramatically rendered biblical scene. All of these are rendered in his signature style of strong brushstrokes and elegantly positioned figures. Truly, if audiences had only this work of Tintoretto to study, they could see everything that explained what made him a successful artist both in his day and in the study of art."

Driving Licenses: Raising the Age, 2008.
An argument against raising the legal age for obtaining a driver's license in Illinois.
722 words (approx. 2.9 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 25.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer argues that there are sufficient existing rules and regulations involving obtaining a driver's license in Illinois. The writer argues further, that raising the legal age would only cause more difficulty for an age group that is, everyday, being tasked with more community responsibilities in terms of work, education and extra-curricular activities.
From the Paper
"There is currently a debate occurring in Illinois and several other states regarding the legal age for obtaining a fully privileged driver's license. The targeted ages are shifting the current minimum age for obtaining a legal driver's license from 16 to 18 years of age following a series of mandated courses, tests, and experience behind the wheel. Some of the primary arguments for doing so revolve around driver and public safety while the arguments for keeping the legal age at its current 16 years of age center on drivers' rights and the increasing demands within society placed upon teenagers."

Abstract
This paper discusses the book "Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys" written by Dan Kindlon and Michael Thompson. The paper contends that the book is an important and a fascinating read to all boys and their families. Both authors have been convincing in their argument that for boys it would be good if they become more 'emotionally literate' in order to comprehend their own feelings as well as others. The valuable and insightful proposal given by these writers would be welcomed by parents and teachers alike to learn how to stay tuned in to a boy and at the same time respect his autonomy. The paper claims that the book gives its readers a much-needed glimpse into the hidden or 'inner' lives of boys.
From the Paper
"The book Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys reveals a realm of boys who are hurting sad, quiet, frightened and annoyed. According to the statistics in the book it is alarming that quite a number of young boys are at high risk for suicide, loneliness, drinking, drug abuse and violence. In light of those statistics the authors set out to answer this basic, vital question: What do boys need that they're not getting? In answering this, here, Kindlon and Thompson have shed light on the destructive emotional training boys receive which is basically in other words is called as the emotional mis-education of boys."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the issues involved in raising children to be productive members of society. The paper contends that, in addition to whatever innate qualities a child is born with, as children grow up, they are exposed to a variety of environments. The effects of these environmental influences are described. The paper presents an observation of interactions between adults and children in order to demonstrate that a variety of methods exist to socialize our children.
From the Paper
"It could be argued that the goal of raising children is to produce adults who function well in society. However, a quick look at the evening news or a newspaper tells us that some children turn into productive adults who function well while others, even as children have great difficulty conforming to society?s most minimal standards. Some people even as children act with aggression and hostility; for instance, researchers report in instance of two ten-year old children recently convicted of murder (Scott, 1998). We know how to raise well-socialized children in theory."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses a reality that affects thousands of parents who face the problems of raising their child bilingually. The writer looks at how parents can assure that their child are able to speak their mother-tongue when living in a foreign county. This essay addresses the challenge that faces families from all ethnic groups and races; that of assuring bilingual efficiency. The writer maintains that the process of language learning, even for young children, can be extremely stressful, and the impact of both negative and positive attitudes from peers, family, and the surrounding society can be significant. The writer concludes that early exposure to the language has been proven beneficial, and can strengthen motivation and facilitate learning.
Outline:
Introduction
Looking At the Issues
From the Paper
Why do parents wish to raise their children bilingually? Language is cultural identity, and, for most parents who are from different racial backgrounds, the desire to teach their children their mother-tongue is based on the recognition that in achieving this, they are not only bringing the child's two cultures together, but also enabling a sense of both duality and international awareness that is unattainable in a monolingual world. It introduces the child to different cultural expectations, worldviews, and concepts. Therefore, for parents who are committed to this initiative, raising children bilingually is not only both challenging and rewarding, but is also a task that is practical and accessible. However, there are many people who feel that raising children bilingually can cause social, cultural, and personal development problems within the child (Maria Estela Brisk, et al, 2004).

Raising the Age of Legality For Tobacco Use, 2002.
A discussion of the pros and cons of raising the legal age for smoking in the U.S. from 18 to 21.
971 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 34.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the cases for and against the making of smoking legal at 18 or at 21. It uses the arguments that if a man can fight for his country at 18 he should be allowed to smoke and if the smoking age is raised, there will be fewer people addicted. It also examines the results of a research study devised to gauge the support or detraction of the idea to raise the legal age of use of tobacco products. The results concluded that the majority of participants believed the age should remain at 18.
From the Paper
"The legal age for smoking today is 18-years old. Within recent years there have been many discoveries about the harms and dangers of smoking that were not previously known. With this increasing knowledge there has been discussion about raising the legal age for tobacco use and purchase to 21. California entertained the idea of a law that would change the age to 21 in that state and other states are talking about the same possibility. Taking something away from adults is something that sparks heated debates in many circles and this survey was used to determine its merit(Whereat, 1998)."

Rembrandt van Rijn?s ?The Raising of Lazarus?, 2002.
This paper discusses the master painter, Rembrandt van Rijn, his painting ?The Raising of Lazarus?, and the social and religious issues of his time.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the Baroque period for Dutch Catholics was different than the rest of Europe because the country was governed by different religious strictures and political realities. Rembrandt worked under these restrictions. The author points out that the original Bible story differs from what Rembrandt painted. The paper concludes that, in this Rembrandt painting, the power of the event taking place is emphasized by the form of the image, the color values used, the stance of each person in the picture, the expressions on the faces of each person, the balance of light and dark, and every other element incorporated into the painting.
From the Paper
"While religiously themed paintings and etchings were common in the Seventeenth Century, this was not necessarily the case in Holland at the time. Rembrandt often treated the stories and parables of the Old and New Testaments in accessible, familiar images in his works. However, the Dutch Reformed Calvinism of his time banned religious art in churches, and this carried over into the non-Church world so that public commissions for paintings of biblical subjects were virtually nonexistent. There was, however, an enthusiastic private patronage for such works, and this accounts for the preponderance of religious subjects in Rembrandt's work."

Raising Funds for Companies, 2004.
An analysis of the best method of raising money to purchase another company.
1,781 words (approx. 7.1 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The company in question requires an immediate supply of cash. It has expressed the intention of buying out another company by the end of the current year. Thus, this paper looks at the possible cash solutions for the company including what is the best method of conducting this ?buy out? to secure a loan from a source such as outside investors, running the risk of becoming beholden to outside interests? Or should the company seek financial support from an outside lending source, such as the bank? Or, in contrast, should it simply secure the cash by making use of the of $1 million dollar credit line, thus incurring debt to the company?
From the Paper
"The next step is to seek financial backing from outside sources. In the case of a prospective lender, the lender will be interested in the current company?s marketing, production plan for expansion through the ?buy out?, and the experience and depth of the management team in acquiring new assets, in this case a new company. However, a bank will only be so interested in these plans as they promote, in the bank?s view, favorable circumstances in terms of paying back the loan. (?Obtaining Enough Capital,? 2003). It a lender such as a bank is at all leery of the proposed acquisition, the bank may decide to provide only partial funding, thus forcing the company to seek out other sources. Thus, resorting to investment or the company?s credit line may be necessary, even with a bank?s involvement, because of a bank?s more conservative perspective."

Abstract
This paper looks at the challenges faced by parents and support groups of kids with special needs. The paper begins by explaining that, as well as strong and committed parents, it often helps to have a support network, perhaps a church group or social workers to help with the task. The paper also explores specific case studies of such children and shows how the parenting unit is by far the most important for the child and the most effective at providing the care needed.

"The compounding of environmental and biological risk in their follow-up of infants from the neonatal intensive care nursery (NICU) who reside in extremely poor inner city neighborhoods in Chicago. They noted that many parents from these communities appeared not to believe in the value of medical care. They felt they had received poor care in the past from providers who were not responsive to their individual problems. As an apparent consequence of these attitudes, many parents of infants in the NICU had no or poor prenatal care themselves, and they demonstrated low amounts of importance placed on caring for their infants. These parents were inconsistent about bringing their infants in to scheduled NICU follow-up appointments."

Abstract
This study aims to investigate what critical factors are necessary for staff and faculty to adopt in the classroom to raise achievement among multicultural students. The study includes qualitative analysis of factors contributing to student achievement so that a grounded theory can be adopted with regard to what factors truly influence student success. A survey methodology is proposed to analyze what factors teachers and students feel contribute to achievement in and outside the classroom.

From the Paper
"There is a large body of evidence, which suggests that cooperative learning is useful in encouraging student interaction in the classroom and impacting student achievement (Vaughan, 2002). The extent to which cooperative learning can aid multicultural students however has not been thoroughly investigated; in fact, cooperative learning is believed to be of most use in small settings of heterogeneous population groups (Vaughan, 2002). It is based on principles including group accountability, collaborative skills and group processing as well as positive interdependence (Vaughan, 2002). The extent to which these skills can be translated to multicultural populations has yet to be examined in greater detail (Banks, 2001)."

Abstract
This paper explains that the study focuses on the "talking", "conversation", "interaction", "collaboration", "listening", and "action engagement", which occur in the classroom and whole school environment, and examines the cognitive levels and meta cognitive aspects of students, seeking insight into the best practices, on the basis of the whole school environment. The author points out that there is a strong link between structured talk and purposeful talk among teachers and the development of thinking in relation to teaching and learning. The paper relates that the research used a qualitative rather than quantitative methodology, which allowed the research to be in its natural setting, in an open and responsive manner, permitting the researcher to get closer to the data sources and context of the data.

From the Paper
"The focus of the Project Teacher was in the working with the teachers in the development of their teaching and learning skills in the classroom. Each of the 103 schools received seven visits, each for one-half of the school day. The visits were timed so as to allow the teachers time in between each visit to test strategies of teaching and further develop them in an independent manner. Not at any time was this project, a.k.a. case study considered to be a "quick-fix" support program. Indeed, this project was to provide teachers with practical support in the development of effective and strategic teaching methods as well as to allow time for reflection on their own individual methods of practice. Further, this project provided necessary support for those in senior management positions for the purpose of embedding the new strategy firmly within the institution and administration of each of the schools."
