Abstract
This paper examines several research studies on the sexual and mating habits of orangutans, langur monkeys, bonobos and chimpanzees, each of which concluded that the sexual and reproductive behaviors of these primates is abnormal when the animals live in captivity.
From the Paper
"Human researchers have always been deeply fascinated with primate behaviors because they are of much closer genetic relation than any other animals. Likewise, the studies of sexuality and mating social behaviors are of particular interest to people because, within human social structures, this area remains both mysterious and untamed, and at the same time entirely necessary for the survival of human relationships and survival of the species. Parallels that may offer some understanding of our own sexual and mating habits can be found in the observations made of Orangutans, Langur Monkeys, Bonobos, and Chimpanzees by various researchers."

"Sexual Harassment and Sexual Revictimization
Background to the Study
Over the last two decades, research studies have documented significant rates of child sexual abuse among both female and male children. Estimates for female children under the age of 18 who have experienced at least one incident of abuse ranges from 1 in 4 to 1 in 2.5 among nonclinical samples (Kohn, 1987; Wyatt, 1985). Estimates for male children are approximately 1 in 8.
There are a number of effects that have been associated with childhood sexual abuse, including psychological, sexual, and interpersonal difficulties (Briere, 1992). One additional problem that has been associated with early abuse is sexual..."

The Use of Primates in Bio-medical Research, 2008.
An analysis of whether or not bio-medical testing on primates is worthwhile, despite the drawbacks.

Abstract
This paper examines to what extent bio-medical research is aided by the testing of primates. It provides an exploration into disease prevention using primates, discusses embryonic research and cloning and shows how the human behavioral processes in the mind can be disclosed through primate testing. The paper concludes that the literature is inconclusive and the testing of primates must be seriously re-examined.
From the Paper
"The hypothesis of this paper was that primate testing does benefit human beings enough to justify the use of these animals in projects. Ultimately though, the material uncovered does not support this thesis (except in limited cases) and it calls into question the determination of some in the scholarly community to resolutely persist with such testing. Furthermore, questions such as whether or not such testing offers insight into the fight against disease, the study of human cloning and embryonic research, and the study of the human mind, all failed to deliver clear-cut answers; in some respects, the use of these creatures works, and in other areas the conclusion is much more uncertain."

From the Paper
"This paper will review author Steven R. Covey's bestselling book, "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People". This paper will also analyze Covey's habits and point out which habits will best cause people to become more effective leaders.
One of the first things which Covey points out is that "habits can be learned and unlearned" (46). Covey notes that breaking deeply embedded habits like impatience, procrastination, and selfishness can take time. However, breaking such unpleasant habits is often a crucial step toward a person's achievement of new goals. Although breaking unwanted habits takes a great commitment, Covey asserts that, if a person's desire to change is coupled with an understanding that one must be willing to subordinate what one wants now to achieve what one wants later, a person may ...

The Study of Primates, 1996.
Discusses recent research on primates, how they adapt to changing environmental conditions, & how their social activities develop. Focuses on how studying lower primates can teach about human development.

From the Paper
"Human beings are primates, and researchers study other living primates as a way of learning more about human behavior. Naturalists seek to observe animals in their natural habitat to learn about the adaptive capabilities of different creatures. Primatologists observe the behavior of primates to see both how these animals adapt and to derive some idea of how the human being adapts as well. Modern apes and human beings are now far apart in terms of evolution, and they last shared a common ancestor some five million years ago. Human behavior has changed much more over that time than has ape behavior, and this suggests one reason for primate studies: "Accordingly, if we want to know what hominid behavior was like before culture became a factor, and if we wish to speculate as to which...

Abstract
This paper reflects fine tuning all of the 7 habits when adapting to different environments. The writer points out that when Covey discusses Sharpening the Saw, he is talking about the nature of all of the habits being done regularly in a cohesive whole. This effectively shows how a collective of these habits, refined on a daily basis, can help one to achieve success in overall leadership in the book '7 Habits of Highly Effective People' by Stephen Covey.
From the Paper
"The aim of this book report is to analyze the seven habits of good leadership found within the text: '7 Habits of Highly Effective People' by Stephen Covey. By adhering to the principles of leadership in Covey's book, he acknowledges the seven precepts of good leadership within business communities. By accessing these habits, one can reveal the nature of Covey's leadership themes by placing them consistently in the daily life of the individual that is practicing leadership in the business world. The first principle of leadership begins with the first part of the book, which develops the "Private Victory" over the self that bars one from success in whatever endeavor in leadership that may be practiced."

Abstract
This paper explains that the objectives of the study were to describe the general sleeping habits of College of Arts and Sciences students and to evaluate if the student's course is a factor in his or her sleeping habits (defined as the number of hours of sleep and sleep quality). The author points out that the methodology of the study was a descriptive survey of college students using a stratified random sampling design with the sample size set at a 90% confidence level. The paper concludes that, although statistically the students' courses do not have bearing on what time and how long the students sleep, the respondents themselves believe that their courses affect their sleep. The paper includes several tables, figures and the survey used in the study.

From the Paper
"Sleep deprivation causes emotional disturbances in people. It may also lead to aggressiveness, apathy; result in fluctuations between euphoria and depression and vice versa. One can also experience pain in joints, hallucinations and visions. People also lose their ability to think straight and act quickly. Those who have been sleep deprived for long, usually find it hard to finish a sentence or find an appropriate word to describe something. One's short-term memory also tends to fail. Therefore, one should never economize additional time for sleep. A sleep-deprived individual does everything twice as slow."

Abstract
Many of the same forces that are driving globalization are also fueling new interest in what childhood developmental differences exist among different countries in an effort to better understand how these differences may affect interpersonal relationships and social patterns in increasingly multicultural societies. While it is reasonable to assume that children all over the world share many of the same wants, needs and desires, it is also reasonable to assume that there are some fundamental differences that exist concerning what control or agency these children have in the construction of their own habits, tastes and consumption patterns as well. To identify these differences and determine their impact on modern societies, this paper provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed and scholarly literature with a specific focus on the United Kingdom as well as an examination of these issues as they relate to other countries in North America, Europe and Southeast Asia as well. A summary of the research and salient findings are presented in the conclusion.
Outline:
Introduction
Review and Discussion
Cultural Influences of the Development of Individual Habits, Tastes and Consumption Patterns
Implications for Control or Agency of Children's Tastes and Habits.
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In their book, 'The Politics of Consumption, Daunton and Hilton' (2001) report that consumption patterns that involve children have been the source of increasing attention in recent years: 'The status of individual goods has inspired particular moral critiques. Goods have been criticized for undermining control of the self such as alcohol, tobacco and other narcotics. Goods themselves may be morally acceptable, but the way in which they are produced, by non-free or sweated labour, may be the cause of moral and political complaint. And goods have been criticized when consumed by particular sections of the community, such as by children or by those who have inspired 'moral panics'' (p. 3). According to these authors, 'Within the modern state, the history of consumer politics and citizenship can be better understood as the history of the rights and duties which societies and individuals attach to consumption' (Daunton & Hilton, 2001, p. 13). Indeed, globalization is being driven by such consumption patterns and it is reasonable to assert that as children in the emerging nations of the world gain access to the material goods enjoyed by their counterparts in more affluent societies, their perceptions of what is good and bad will be swayed as well. As these authors put it, 'It is not so much a history of how consumer rights have been constructed and incorporated into state-sanctioned notions of citizenship, but a history of how rights and duties, the central pillars of liberal citizenship, have been constantly redefined in their relationship to consumption' (Daunton & Hilton, 2001, p. 13)."

Boys' Perceptions Towards Reading
Reasons why Boys are Reluctant Readers
Summary
From the Paper
"Researchers state that boys have shown contrast in their reading compared to reading materials preferred by schools; schools favor book based learning and fiction while boys have idiosyncratic reading choices in their reading materials that may lead to them being recognized as bad readers as their reading interest may not match those preferred by the school."
"Factors that influence the attitude of boys as reluctant readers fall into three areas which are the family, peer group and friendship group. Parents are shown to be powerful literary models for their children as they provide them with earliest books and materials and often act as their first teacher in promoting the reading habit. Peer groups bring with them peer pressure to confirm to a certain belief, while friendship groups function as a social practice to develop and maintain relationships with peers. These two factors influence reading habit and interest."

'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families', 2006.

Abstract
This paper examines a text written by Stephen R. Covey which explores the basic habits of thought and action which result in healthy families. The paper points out Covey's humility in acknowledging that his text cannot be viewed as a cure all for familial strife insofar as no such thing exists.
From the Paper
"Stephen R. Covey's 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families' is an excellent text which describes how families can overcome the vicissitudes of everyday modern life and still find time to help and nurture one another. Covey's book is also very timely insofar as, at the time of its release in 1997, rates of marital infidelity and illegitimacy were at an all-time high and the institution of marriage itself (as well as traditional conceptions of the family) seemed under assault from all sides. Consequently, the book has a "here-and-now" applicability that adds weight to its findings. As expected, Covey divides his tome into seven more-or-less equally long chapters. "

Abstract
This paper analyzes Steven Covey's book, "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", from the point of view of a military naval sailor facing the death of his father. It shows how the author, from personal experience, applied Covey's seven principles to his own daily life, both in civilian life and on the ship, and came to recognize leadership qualities in several of those around him and in himself.
From the Paper
"The fact that Covey?s analysis of leadership meets both civilian and service needs was underlined by several core, formative experiences I have since had at sea, in examining my immediate leaders through Covey?s sevenfold eyes. Once, I was particularly struck by the leadership behavior of a Captain who always gave public and private recognition for the quality of the labor of others, and complimented the diligence of his subordinates. He never saw losses, his thinking was always ?win-win,? stressing the positives learned, even when the individual made an accidental error. (9) He was never afraid that making compliments for a job performed correctly and excellently would make him seem weak, according to Covey?s ?paradigm? of ?interdependent? leadership. (10)"

Abstract
This paper provides a balanced review of Covey's popular book and the theories it advances. It provides a summary of Covey?s seven habits philosophy followed by an analysis of how effective this approach might be, based on empirical observations and personal experience. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"If other people believe that you are genuinely interested in what they are saying to you, half of the communication battle has already been won. A simple nod of the head, a smile, body position (leaning forward and so forth) all play a critical role in this regard, and paraphrasing what others have said to ensure that the message has been received is always a good idea. To this end, when others see that you have understood what has been expressed, they will be in a more receptive mood to listen to your response. This paraphrasing also reinforces the sincerity of interest on the part of the manager, since the mental effort required demonstrates an active listening role. This paraphrasing also helps to place the problems in the context of the whole organization, and helps to define the tone of the original message."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the seven habits listed in the book and examines how these can be used in both personal and professional venues as well as the ways in which these pieces of advice are also fundamentally limited in key aspects.
From the Paper
"Stephen Covey's "seven habits of highly effective people" are pretty straightforward and simple: 1) Be proactive; 2) begin with the end in mind; 3) put FIRST things first; 4) think win-win; 5) seek first to understand, then to be understood; 6) synergize; and 7) sharpen the saw. The first three of these habits Covey considers to be private victories, the second three "public victories" and the seventh habit is the renewal process that encompasses all of the other habits."
