Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the characters within "A Room with a View" by E.M. Foster and "Jacob's Room" by Virginia Woolf. The characters Lucy and Jacob both represent two different classes of people in their contrast, but invariably present similar instances of independent lifestyles that stray from societal norms.
From the Paper
"In this literary study a character analysis in the novels A Room with A View by E.M. Foster and Jacob's Room by Virginian Woolf will be examined. The two characters Jacob and Lucy will be brought forth to reveal comparing and contrasting elements of class differentiation and their perceptions of life. While Jacob and Lucy both represent drastically different classes of people; they invariably reflect similar characteristics in how they achieve independence in their lives. In the novel Jacob's Room the main character Jacob represents a middle class individual who has a yearning desire to experience life. However, his middle class upbringing reveals the hardships of his life that he will ultimately face, especially due to his inexperience as a youth."

Abstract
This paper discusses the increasing preference of women to give birth in birthing rooms. It discusses the benefits of the relaxed and comfortable environment of the birth rooms and how many hospitals are now beginning to build birthing rooms. The paper discusses the necessary amenities that should be available in all birthing rooms for a comfortable, yet safe delivery.
From the Paper
"Recent research has shown that the place of birth has a direct impact on the pace and quality of delivery, and when the woman feels confident and satisfied with the choice that she has made about her place of delivery, then she can be sure that her delivery would be as uncomplicated and natural as she desired it to be. A birthing room in a hospital, with the bare minimum of medical intervention and a homely atmosphere, with provisions for the partner and the family of the woman to take part in the amazing phenomenon of birth would be the ideal option for today's woman having a baby, unless she has had complications during her pregnancy, for which a hospital setting would be a much better option. Having a safe and comfortable and natural delivery is the ideal of every woman on earth, and if a hospital facilitates this, then the woman would be obliged forever to the hospital and the medical team that helped create this setting and put it into action. (Evidence regarding place of birth)"

Abstract
The paper discusses how the increase in diversity within modern elementary schools demands that greater effort is put into creating an environment in which all children can be successful. The paper examines what comprises a successful elementary school resource room that will be able to service all of the needs of a diverse student population. The paper looks at the types of students who would engage in this resource room, the kinds of services that would be provided, as well as the resources, materials and funding available for such a resource room.
From the Paper
"The modern elementary school environment plays host to a plethora of students with different needs. Elementary resource rooms therefore must also be modified to help a greater diversity of students. Traditionally resources rooms were intended for special education needs. These students will have a variety of needs as, "The effects of physical disabilities may be visible or invisible. They include inability to walk and/or use the arms, hands or fingers, often resulting in the use of aids such as wheelchairs, calipers, crutches or walking sticks. Attendants may be needed for personal care and the student may rely on others for transport, photocopying, study notes and library assistance."(Sydney, npg)."

Homosexuality in ?Giovanni?s Room?, 2004.

Abstract
When James Baldwin published his novel, "Giovanni's Room", in the 1950's, he was roundly criticized and judged for its then provocative images of homosexuality. This paper shows, however, that not all critics chastised Baldwin and describes some of the more positive reviews written about the novel. The paper then offers a critical perspective surrounding the time of publication of "Giovanni?s Room" and examines James Baldwin within the context of the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements of the 1960s. This is followed by an examination of the metaphorical 'room' in the novel. The paper concludes with James Baldwin's views on homosexuality and his personal struggle with his own sexuality.
From the Paper
"It can be argued that David, a white bi-sexual in search of his true sexual identity, torn between a gay love for Giovanni and a heterosexual love for Hella his lady friend, is himself a symbol ? through the novel ? of the alienation black homosexuals felt in the American culture. As an expatriate, David is by definition a man without a country, an outcast (which, as explained above, a gay black man like James was in the black U.S. community); and here in Paris, at the beginning of the novel, he can deceive himself into thinking he is a man with some substance. He isn?t a man of substance, because he is still in search of his own sexual identity, and he can?t rid himself of a homoerotic, friendship with ?Joey? from his childhood."

An analysis of American emergency room care and patient satisfaction.

Abstract
The paper analyzes how the 1989 case of Ryan White, a patient who was given an AIDS contaminated blood transfusion in an emergency room, subsequently causing his death, began to create a growing anxiety for patients relating to emergency room care. The paper further analyzes how the United States will face a serious nursing and physician shortage in the next decade because of an increase in retirements; job dissatisfaction; and the aging 70 million members of the baby boomer generation. The paper concludes that Americans have reason to wonder if the care that they will receive in hospital emergency rooms will be adequate.

Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own,", 2004.
Analysis of the premise of Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the theme in "A Room of One's Own" , which discusses why there has been such a paucity of female fiction writers. The paper summarizes the reasons Woolf provides for this paucity and talks about what other feminist authors would say of Woolf's writings. Some of the criticisms that have been leveled at "A Room of One's Own" are also covered by this paper.
From the Paper
"If, on the other hand, had Judith had money and education, we would perhaps be revering and celebrating the plays and stories of a Judith Shakespeare. While emphasizing the importance of financial freedom, Woolf acknowledges that her own literary pursuits have been enabled by her aunt Mary Beton who has bequeathed her five hundred pounds for the rest of her life. The book, based on a lecture delivered at Cambridge University, is quasi-fictional. Woolf admits to liberally creating fictional characters to further her cause. The name Mary Breton does occur in several settings?the name for her aunt and also a friend. No dishonesty is implied in the fictional accounts and they should not be construed as such."

?A Room of One?s Own?, 2004.
An examination of political and economic freedom constraints among women discusses in the book, ?A Room of One?s Own? by Virginia Woolf.

Abstract
This paper discusses Virginia Woolf's writing, ?A Room of One?s Own?, which uses the stream of consciousness technique and talks about the prejudices and inequality that women, particularly women artists, faced in 19th century society, in Woolf?s case, 19th century English society. It looks at how, in this work, Woolf cites the historical, social, political, and even economic dynamics that influence the society?s outlook on the women sector, i.e., that women should not enjoy the freedom that men receive from the society. It also explores how, by discussing and analyzing the treatment of human society to women, Woolf objectively narrates, in detail, the discrimination committed against women in the third chapter of ?A Room of One's Own?
From the Paper
"The lack of acceptance of society to revolutionary changes about women?s roles and image, which involves behavior and actions that are submissive to men and the society in general, is just one point that Woolf addresses in ?A Room.? Going further her ?monologue,? she enumerates the hindrances that prevent women from attaining a status equal to or higher than male artists, which are material and immaterial. The material hindrance concerns economic freedom, where Woolf posits, ?? for women?to have a room of her own? was out of the question? [s]ince her pin money? was only enough to keep her clothed; she was debarred from such alleviations?? This passage can be interpreted literally and figuratively, where the literary interpretation centers on the economic constraints that society imposes on women, resulting to financial dependency to men and ignorance because of lack of or insufficient education."

Searle's Chinese Room Argument, 2006.
This paper discusses John Searle's Chinese room argument about artificial intelligence.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper relates that John Searle developed his Chinese room argument in response to some of those who argue that strong artificial intelligence is possible. As will be shown, the Chinese room argument was a thought experiment that appeared to constitute a good argument against the possibility of strong artificial intelligence. The paper shows how it was a sufficiently good argument that many people have been provoked to present counter-arguments in an attempt to rebut Searle's argument. In the paper, the Systems Reply will be considered, as it is proposed that this is the strongest reply to date.

"A Room of One's Own", 2006.

Abstract
Virginia Woolf's concern with the theme of feminism is highly apparent in her resounding essay on women and literature. In particular, it looks at how she begins her discourse flawlessly, introducing her idea of the necessity of wealth within the first couple of pages of "A Room of One's Own". This paper discusses how Woolf argues her thesis tastefully, powerfully presenting the idea that a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction and how female creativity was stifled by economic circumstance.
From the Paper
"Woolf seems to suggest that perhaps women's literature is somewhat lacking because, in the past, women did not have the education, the income, the privacy, the experience, or the time to write. She illustrates this in her account by providing an interesting comparison between a men's and women's college. She strays off of the beaten path and onto the grass, surely not allowing the metaphor of the moment to escape the reader, but is promptly stopped by a university security guard. This security guard holds much significance, perhaps symbolizing the male gender as a whole, and enforcing the rule by which women are not
allowed to walk on the grass."

Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own", 2006.
A discussion of chapters five and six of Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own".

Abstract
Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own" contains half a dozen excellent chapters, but it is the last two chapters, five and six, that this paper focuses upon. In so doing, the paper makes it apparent that Virginia Woolf believes a few things to be manifestly self evident: women must learn to speak for themselves, they must learn to think androgynously if they are to become their full selves, they must have money, and they must be prepared to push their way into the professions to acquire the independence they need to have a room of their own.

Jonathan Swift's "The Lady's Dressing Room", 2005.
An analysis of Jonathan Swift's poem about a woman in her dressing room that is being spied upon by her lover.

Abstract
This paper explains how Jonathan Swift's poem "The Lady's Dressing Room" describes an almost universal role of women: Their self-perception and their perception by others. The paper further points out that the poem is as relevant today as it was when it was written, almost three centuries ago.
From the Paper
"The idealized image of women, promoted equally as strong in Swift's day as in ours, causes problems for both genders. Women become self-absorbed, and men develop unrealistic notions of what women should be like. Through clever wit, satire and sarcasm, Swift points out the problems with unrealistic expectations in his poem. For example, from the "Paste of Composition rare," to the "Ointments good for scabby Chops," the cosmetics of Swift's day largely resemble those in the modern world. Women are the primary consumers of these beauty products. Swift notes, through Strephon's shocked eyes, that women spend an inordinate amount of time using beauty products when beneath it all they are normal, sweaty, stinky human beings. Women have somehow been socialized to expect to be perfect. Moreover, cosmetics are one of the biggest most booming industries in the world today. The industry shows no sign of lagging, which is why Swift's poem appeals equally as well in his time as in ours, and could very well appeal to the future."

Abstract
This five page paper examines doctor/nurse tensions in terms of its importance in the wider context of Canadian health care by examining scholarly sources such as nursing texts, professional journals, and government publications, which all provide professional views of this important issue. This paper examines why doctor/nurse tensions must be minimized. The writer discusses what causes doctor/nurse tensions in emergency rooms and how they are exhibited and then relates how nurses are responding to this growing problem.
From the Paper
"In a recent visit to an emergency room with an injured friend, the writer observed significant tension between the attending doctor and two of the emergency room nurses. Observation of their dispute led the writer to examine the issue of doctor/nurse relations in an emergency room environment. From the research, the writer has unfortunately learned that the tension witnessed in that emergency room was not uncommon in Canadian hospitals, for tensions between doctors and nurses occur frequently, due to a variety of professional and gender-related factors."

Merlyn French's "The Women?s Room", 2005.
This paper discusses Merlyn French's "The Women's Room", which describes the progress and changes in woman's consciousness that occurred in the second half of the twentieth century, a period of women's right activism.

Abstract
This paper explains that, from the very first lines of Merlyn French's "The Women's Room", the reader understands that French's personal experience influenced the novel. The author points out that the struggle for the nineteenth amendment of Constitution is already a forgotten event. The paper relates that French's primary purposes were to describe the history of woman's consciousness change, to make a chronology of this period and to show that it is quicker to change gender issues though juridical reforms rather than by changing
people's stereotypes.
From the Paper
"It didn't happen at once, Mira and others came to it gradually, as it was an individual reaction towards the events that took place in the country, I the minds of people and which were reflection of modernity and growing demand for liberties. They were the pioneers in their own way in fighting for personal happiness and independence. Of course it brought to the contradictions with existing beliefs and existing social norms and their behavior was deviant, but already the fact that they had overcome themselves tells a lot. They became freer and more respectful at least by themselves, removing them from the list of unhappy marriages and unhappy broken lives, as they found potential and energy to build their new life, according to their personal ideas and aspirations."

Virginia Woolf: "A Room of One's Own", 1992.
An essay discussing "A Room of One's Own" by feminist writer Virginia Woolf.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In "A Room of One's Own", Virginia Woolf has much to say on the changing relationships among women, men, society and literary genres. The author of the paper shows that far more than simply the book form of Woolf's stirring, provocative lectures, it is practically a "feminist manifesto." This paper excerpts many passages from the book as "offset quotes." It then expounds, analyzes and comments on these examples of Woolf's work. The paper includes an analysis of Woolf's provocative concept of whether it's worse to be "locked out" or "locked in." Additionally, the paper discusses Woolf's (and society's) ideas relating to feminism and sexism and how these "isms" in turn relate to literature and the success or failures of male and female writers, particularly in the 19th Century.
From the Paper
"?So long as you write what you wish to write, that is
all that matters; and whether it matters for ages or
only for hours, nobody can say.?
This is among Woolf?s most moving passages. She is addressing a group of young women toward the end of her lecture, emphasizing the importance of women?s writings and encouraging everyone interested to give it a try. Behind these words is an even deeper message: you never know who you touch. What may seem like a completely insignificant act of one person?say the penning of a humble little sonnet?can by of lasting influence to someone else if it stays in that person?s memory. Even if the poet only wrote the sonnet for herself and thought it mediocre at best, someone decades or even centuries later might find inspiration in it. No one can say, even authors or poets themselves, what kind of impact their work might have in future generations. Only time can determine that."

?A Room of One?s Own?, 2006.

Abstract
This paper reviews and examines feminist author Virginia Woolf's essay "A Room of One's Own." This essay is considered a landmark due to the traditional social beliefs as they pertained to the matrix of relationships that sex roles generate. This paper also discusses Woolf's view of female writers and their struggle against their male counterparts.
From the Paper
"Woolf's vision in this case seems to be true. Previous to the latter half of the twentieth century, it was very difficult for a woman to find success in writing or any other field. The male dominated society did not allow for such intrusions. Thankfully, feminist writers like Woolf had the courage to expose the culture for its inequalities and offer suggestions for improvement."
