"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)."

Phonological Awareness and Reading, 2005.
A discussion of how phonological awareness affects reading and how one can teach phonological awareness skills.

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)."

Phonological Awareness, 2007.
An analysis of the value of phonological and phonemic awareness to teaching reading to children.

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)."

Abstract
The paper relates how the Yopp-Singer Test of Phonemic Segmentation was used on a kindergarten class and 30% of this group (6 students) were found lacking sufficient phonemic awareness skills. The paper describes how reading and phonemic exercises were helpful to these students in achieving pre-reading phonemic awareness skills. The paper concludes with the research on this topic. The Yopp-Singer Test of Phonemic Segmentation is included as an appendix to the paper.
Outline:
Statement of Problem: Phonemic Awareness

Setting
Fact Finding Research
From the Paper
"The concerns noted stem from both classroom experience and research. Early observation through informal means displayed that many of the students in this Kindergarten class lack phonemic awareness. To test this informal theory the Yopp-Singer Test of Phonemic Segmentation was used and results reflected that a full 30% of this group of kindergarten students are lacking sufficient phonemic awareness skills in order to perform phonemic segmentation and phonemic manipulation. These emergent students lack the skills needed to enter the independent reading stage. At this point in the academic year, all kindergarten students should be able to segment and manipulate phonemes in order to become independent readers."

Adulthood and Self-Awareness, 2009.
This paper discusses adulthood and self-awareness while taking a universal journey through three different novels: Mark Twain's 'Huckleberry Finn', Jane Austen's 'Emma' and Chaim Potok's 'My Name is Asher Lev'.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the journey through childhood and adolescence to adulthood and self-awareness is a trek through time that remains the same across ethnic groups and generations. The writer points out that for this reason, the universal journey has been a frequent subject in literature, filling numerous novels with the universal truths of the individualism and realization that come with attaining self-awareness. The writer discusses that three diverse examples of the universal applicability of this journey and truth are Mark Twain's 'Huckleberry Finn', Jane Austen's 'Emma' and Chaim Potok's 'My Name is Asher Lev'. The writer discusses that through similar themes, rites of passage and the presence of foils, the authors of these three novels present similar journeys to self-awareness for three very different characters.
From the Paper
"In addition to similar themes, such as the theme of character uniqueness, all three novels use the literary technique of rites of passage to suggest the universality of the journey to adulthood and self-awareness. Each of the three characters across novels is required to complete certain rites before they make the startling self-discovery that changes their perspective. For Huckleberry Finn, these rites of passages take the form of a journey down the river in which he must see a dead man, whom he later discovers is his father, encountering the king and the duke, and hiding Jim. Emma must encounter failure with her attempt to redesign Harriett in order to understand the importance of relationship and the inequality of classes; and Asher Lev must learn to balance the importance of art and religious rigidity. By successfully completing all of these rites of passage, characters in all three of the novels learn important facts about themselves and the world of adulthood, a fact that prepares them to enter that world completely self-aware. Like the journey to adulthood and self-awareness, the rites of passage that each must encounter on the way are universally applicable."

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.
Outline:
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.
911 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 32.95
»
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."

From the Paper
"In the United States, however, such an action is illegal, except in Oregon which passed physician-assisted suicide laws in 1997. Indeed, from 1994 to 2006, more than 75 bills have been passed, and shot down (Euthanasia and Physician..., undated). Even in Oregon, however, the deaths from euthanasia have been estimated at one for every 1,000, where only 171 deaths have been reported from 1998 to 2003 (Larson, 2004)."
"The terms euthanasia and assisted suicide are often interchanged, but they should not be confused because they are not the same thing Euthanasia involves a direct action that kills the patient, while assisted suicide requires a person provides the means or act to help a suicidal person kill himself. In recent discussions, however, these distinctions have been abandoned as more and more, euthanasia has been seen to equate physician-assisted suicide in practice."

"Those who contract diabetes in childhood are more likely to contract coronary heart disease and peripheral vascular diseases in their adult lives (Baker, 2007). This disease's newfound prevalence has resulted in a name, cardiometabolic syndrome, which is gaining currency in new reports. A more recent study which followed up the results of the Sinha study found that early identification of cardiometabolic risks in children could result in earlier and more aggressive interventions to prevent progression to full-blown diabetes (Velasquez-Mieyer, 2007). Eisenmann et al found a relationship between "fatness and fitness" and insulin sensitivity amongst 7- to 9-year old children (Eisenmann, 2007). The study differentiated between obese and fit subjects, and found that those who were unfit (i.e. did not exercise often or enough) and obese had the worst fasting insulin results, while those who were in the 'normal' group had the best results. In the fat-fit groups, the values were intermediate. The authors concluded that exercise, with and without obesity, reduce chances of developing insulin resistance. A recent study published in JAMA demonstrated the effects of a weight management and exercise program on overweight children (Savoye, 2007). This randomized controlled trial followed 209 overweight children, aged 8 to 16 years of age. 135 participants completed a 6 month study, while 119 (53%) completed a 12-month study. Although the researchers established three arms (control, exercise and diet), they had to discontinue enrollment in the diet arm due to 'a high dropout rate.' The study measured reductions in BMI and concomitant insulin resistance, but the weight loss failure is indicative of the difficulty in changing eating behaviors amongst pre-teens and teens."

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. "

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."

Jesus' Awareness That He Was God, 2007.
This paper explores the issue of Jesus' awareness of his being God.

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."
