Abstract
The author of this paper attended a Jehovah's Witness service "Memorial for Christ's Death" (akin to a Passover Celebration or Easter Service). In a personal observation, the author notes the social interaction and comments on the differences between members and "outsiders". Details of the service are also included, textually and graphically.
From the Paper
"I do feel that the people I met were sincere in their belief that they were practicing God's will, but what was the "hidden agenda". I definitely conformed to the social standard operating procedures regardless of my religion. Their meeting place, the "Kingdom Hall" is subtle thus reinforcing the passive attitude of the attendees. I think way the Witnesses dressed distinguishes them from society. Even though I was clean and presentable I felt different. I think that they present themselves as interested (introducing themselves) and helpful (sharing the hymn book) to convince outsiders that they are a caring organization. If one is convinced that they are an organization to be trusted then perhaps the ultimate goal of converting new recruits can be reached."

Life and Death: Abortion and the Death Penalty, 2005.
Explains why there is no contradiction in simultaneously viewing abortion as permissible in the early stages of pregnancy but the death penalty as impermissible.

Abstract
This paper explains why a woman's views that abortion in the early stages of pregnancy is permissible but that the death penalty is never permissible are congruent and consistent from a moral and ethical standpoint.
From the Paper
"Though Abby rejects the application of the death penalty in all instances she does advocate the permissibility of abortion in the early stages. Despite the seeming contradiction of ethics or morals in these views, Abby's views on abortion and the death penalty are more congruent than they might initially appear. This is because abortion is part of a woman's overall reproductive rights guaranteed by law while the death penalty is often applied in a biased manner and represents state-sanctioned homicide..."

"The Cross of Christ", 2006.
This paper examines Stott's book, "The Cross of Christ" that explores the meaning behind the Cross and Christ's death.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 2 sources, $ 26.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper maintains that Stott's book, "The Cross of Christ," is an important book. For those Christians who want to further explore the meaning behind the Cross and behind Christ's death, it is a thought-provoking resource. The paper explains how Stott makes a very good case for the Cross being more than simply important, but rather that it is a vital part of Christianity. Without the Cross, Stott argues that Christianity as we know it would not exist. The paper is of the opinion that after reading this book, it is difficult to argue with this perspective.
From the Paper
"John R. W. Stott takes the position that the Cross is essential to Christianity. He makes his convincing argument by dividing the discussion into four parts, discussing the Cross as a symbol, the need for forgiveness, the spiritual benefits that the Cross has provided to believers and finally, on the practical and earthly teachings that the Cross can offer. Stott does not have all the answers on the subject of Christ's Cross. However, the book is a thoughtful and complex study offering suggestions on the subject of the Cross upon which Christ died. The Cross is important, Stott states, because it performs more than the single function of being the method of execution favored by the Romans."

?Culture in Interaction?, 2005.
This paper analyzes the concept of group collectivism and interaction reported by Nina Eliasoph and Paul Lichterman in their article "Culture in Interaction".

Abstract
This paper explains that a journal article entitled, "Culture in Interaction," authored by Nina Eliasoph and Paul Lichterman used empirical studies in identifying, analyzing and interpreting the group culture of organizations and civil groups in terms of their use of speech acts and group interaction. The author points out that, using the method of ethnographic analysis, Eliasoph and Lichterman were able to analyze and interpret how these civil groups' cultures, through collective representations, are characterized by their use of specific kinds of speech acts and styles. The paper states that the researchers' usage of the ethnography as the primary form of data gathering and analysis was appropriate for its objective, especially since interaction and communication are difficult to study by quantitative methods.
From the Paper
"Results of the study reflected the unique culture of each civil group. The ACES was identified as an organization that, when put in the larger context of group activism, was more 'individualist' rather than collectivist. This meant that ACES members tend to focus more on the idea that empowerment and motivation to participate actively was not through group cohesion, but on the pursuit of one's self interest. This self-interest was identified as the will to fight for a cause, which, in ACES's case, was environmentalism."

Abstract
Defines interaction and feedback as forms of human communication. Focus on degree to which electronic interactivity (the Internet, etc.) can be considered interpersonal communication or some other form of communication. Discusses reshaping of interaction in voting and politics. Reduction of fact-to-face interaction. Dual effect of Internet interactions. The electronic portfolio.
From the Paper
"The concept of interaction has been adapted to a variety of situations. A central element in interaction is feedback. Wiener (1961) notes the biological importance of feedback in the organism, including the human organism, and explains why feedback is essential for life:
We thus see that for effective action on the outer world it is not only essential that we possess good effectors, but that the performance of these effectors be properly monitored back to the central nervous system, and that the readings of these monitors be properly continued with the other information coming in from the sense organs to produce a properly proportioned output to the effectors (Wiener, 1961, 96).
Feedback and interaction are forms of communication."

Abstract
This paper examines human-computer interaction (HCI), the study of how people and computing technologies interact. It looks at how a focus on the design of computer systems is one part of the field, with usefulness and ergonomics, as well as aesthetics of the ?box? ,taken into account. It looks at how the issues in human computer interaction involve not only cognitive issues for the human part of the equation and technical issues for the computer portion, but social issues for the humans involved.

Flow
Conclusion
From the Paper
"It may be, also, that ?flow? is involved in these findings. ?The theory of optimal flow has been proposed as a useful framework for studying the experience of individuals as they learn and use computers, and for identifying the factors that influence this experience (Ghani, 1991).? (Deshpande, 1994) The key characteristics of flow, which seem to be confirmed by the researchers above, are total concentration in the activity and the enjoyment one derives from it. (Deshpande, 1994) In the cases of the study of the students, especially, these factors might have come into play. Flow moments occur when ?a person's body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult or worthwhile." (Deshphande, 1994) Likewise, when one has a feeling of control over one?s environment?which would have been the case after the students were instructed and counseled--flow is enhanced."

The FDR Memorial, 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was stricken with polio at a young age and spent much of his life in a wheelchair. The author points out that, when the vast FDR Memorial was opened in 1997, the only hint of FDR's disability was in a statue, which shows him sitting in a chair behind a desk with two tiny wheels barely visible at the bottom of the statue. The paper relates that the public and disability activist groups felt that this nod to FDR's disability was not enough. The author describes a 2001 addition to the memorial, which is a life-sized statue of FDR sitting in a wheelchair and a wall inscription quoting Eleanor Roosevelt that his illness gave him strength and courage he had not had before. The paper concludes that FDR's disability should not be the main focus of the memorial because he should be remembered for his many achievements and not his disability.
From the Paper
"CNN, USA Today, and Gallop did a survey of 1,003 American adults on April 18th through the 20th, 1997. To the question, "Should the F.D.R. Memorial show him in a wheelchair?" 35% said yes and 60% said no. Respondents were then asked to "Rate F.D.R. as President." 32% said outstanding, 36% said above average, 22% said average and 2% said below average. The general perception of FDR gathered from this poll is a good one. Yet over half the people surveyed did want to show FDR in a wheelchair. Possibilities for this are that people didn't want his disability to be the focus of the memorial. "

The Korean War and the Korean War Veterans' Memorial, 2005.
This paper discusses the forgotten war, the Korean War, and describes the Korean War Veterans' Memorial.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although statistically the Korean War took more lives than the Vietnam War, the Korean War has been branded as America's "Forgotten War" because it was over-shined by two "greater" wars, the Second World War and the Vietnam War, which dragged on for more than a decade. The author points out that the Korean War is important because it (1) started the end of the communist expansion in the world, (2) laid the ground for the entry of democracy in the states in Eastern Europe and Russia and (3) began the American foreign policy of military intervention to gain or maintain security, freedom and democracy in the world resulting in a number of military conflicts which continues today. The paper describes in detail the Korean War Veterans' Memorial, adjacent to the Lincoln Memorial directly across the reflecting pool from the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial in Washington, D.C., which was dedicated in 1995 by Bill Clinton and Kim Young Sam, then presidents of the U.S. and South Korea.
From the Paper
"The symbolisms in the memorial are brilliant pictures of a war that will never be forgotten. For as long as the memorial continues to exist, the memories of a war, which advanced freedom at the cost of the lives of millions of people, will eternally be thought of and etched in the minds of guests. Moreover, this memorial also serves as a reminder that freedom, though sweet and liberating, must never be taken for granted and must certainly be forever guarded, secured and remain dear in our hearts. It must also be remembered that there are still countries in the world that do not enjoy the rights given by a true democracy. The pursuit for the expansion of democracy must certainly not be abandoned. Still, millions of people are yearning for a free, equal state where social, economic and political justice stands and endures."

The Lincoln Memorial, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that the design of the Lincoln Memorial was the highlight of Henry Bacon's architectural career for which he received the 1923 Gold Medal of the American Institute of Architects for his achievement on the memorial. The author points out that the building itself is as much of a symbol of the Union as Lincoln himself was; in designing a monument to the man who preserved the Union, Bacon used materials from many areas of the country---North and South, East and West. The paper stresses that Bacon's greatest success was his ability to blend the building's purpose and design with a message, which, in this case, is Abraham Lincoln's belief in peace, freedom, equality and unity, and that is the design motif of the Lincoln Memorial.
From the Paper
"Bacon was an admirer of Greek architecture and used his imagination to bring uniqueness to the memorial he fashioned after the famous Parthenon. Situated at the west end of the mall, Bacon used the side of the temple building design as the front, thus placing an effective end to the mall at the memorial. Unlike the long and narrow Parthenon, the Lincoln Memorial presents a more open appearance. On the frieze above the colonnade are inscribed the names of the thirty- six states in the union at the time of Lincoln's death. Above these are the names of the forty- eight in the Union at the time of the memorial's dedication. Since that time a plaque has been added to the memorial that includes a representation for Hawaii and Alaska. Typical of the Greek Doric style, wreaths of carved leaves, scrolls, and lion heads decorated the frieze and the cornice above it."

Vietnam Veterans' Memorial and Postmodernism, 2003.
Rhetorical analysis of the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial in Washington D.C.

Abstract
Modernism is the search for a universality. The break from this search is creatively named postmodernism. Postmodernism is the belief that there is no universal constant and that everything is subject to context. The Vietnam Veterans' Memorial is an example of postmodern architecture. The wall is significant because it is one of the first memorials in this country to break from the modern view of architecture. By using postmodern ideological criticism of the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial, this paper discovers that remembrance is a non-universal act, different for every person.
From the Paper
"On April 19, 2000 the Oklahoma City Memorial opened to the public. The Memorial was built to remember the tragic events of five years earlier, the bombing of the Alfred P Murrah federal building in downtown Oklahoma City. The memorial was designed by Hans and Torrey Butzer. The Butzers were the winners of a competition pool of over 630 entries. The design for the memorial is based heavily on the postmodern nature of the Butzers? architectural upbringing. The University of Texas at Austin?s school of architecture is known for its postmodern views of form and function."

Abstract
The paper is written as the personal report of a foreign exchange student who will spend two years in Denmark, as an introduction to cultural interaction. Subjects covered are cultural interaction at home and at school, history and stereotypes and the advantages of living in Denmark.
From the Paper
"I read before I left that ;The Danish education system has a tradition of focusing not only on academic accomplishments, but also on the students; personal development and contributing to making them committed community members. Democracy and shared experiences are given a high priority, and the students critical sense is sharpened; (Way of life). It is true, the teacher seems much more interested in us as people, not just students. We have to learn English in school, and most of the classes are in Danish. So far, I haven't had much problem understanding the instructors, but I find the homework is much harder. We often work together in groups, and Jens and I spend several hours each night working on projects for class. I think the classes here seem harder, and the students seem more serious, even though they are certainly less formal than we were at home. I'm not the only international student here, there are several of us, and we meet together once a week or so to support each other, and trade experiences. "

Child-Context Interaction and the Environment, 2002.
This paper discusses the long-term influence parents have on the development of their child, the effect the environment has on this relationship and the consequence this child-context interaction has on the child?s further adjustment to the environment
3,105 words (approx. 12.4 pages), 10 sources, APA, $ 90.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper demonstrates that child-context interaction that begins as bonding at birth and continues through the first four years of a child?s life is a strong factor in the child?s ability to adjust to the environment and will effect the child for the majority of his life. The author presents research showing that if children have close and healthy relationships with their parents, these children will do better in adjusting to different environments including difficult neighborhoods and schools. He shows how the family?s culture and the neighborhood in which they live also can shape child-context interaction.
From the Paper
"As the mother and child work together to find the missing puzzle piece, their ability to think and problem solve will be developing. Most of the time the way a child interacts with one parent will be different than when both parents are available. The relationship with mothers are usually nurturing while the relationship with the father is more realistic. They want to be strong and not cry when they get hurt when they are with their father. However, if they are with their mother and they fall and hurt their knee, they want to cry and get a band-aid. The child learns ways to interact with others through the interactions between child-father, between child-mother, and between child-both parents."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of Maya Lin's controversial design of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, including support for and against her intention and eventual design. The paper explains how Lin's memorial demonstrates the changing nature of public monuments.
From the Paper
"Designed by Maya Lin, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial represents a controversial memorial that demonstrates the changing nature of public monuments, their goals and their audiences. The post-Vietnam War era has witnessed a change in the way audiences read memorials. Both critics and audiences now read memorials of war in a more active and critical manner. The Vietnam War challenged the very nature of American patriotism and the relationship between individual and state."
