Abstract
This paper examines the semiotics at work within Lynch's film and how they construct a portrait of the protagonist's fractured and fragmented mind. It also traces the development of the light/dark female dichotomy at work in many of Lynch's films, including "Blue Velvet".
From the Paper
"David Lynch?s cinematic vision generally consists of a carefully constructed labyrinth laden with enigmatic characters and bizarre imagery all of which reflect a Manichean division between good and evil. Within this illusory realm of antithesis, the contrast between ?light? and ?dark? female characters (denoted by hair color, et. al.) is often at the narrative?s core. Lynch establishes this rift in his 1986 masterpiece Blue Velvet, a film that exposes the disturbing, depraved criminal underworld that exists beneath a suburban town?s banal fa?ade. He then expounds upon the idea in his more recent work, Mulholland Drive. While the ?light girl? and ?dark girl? both play integral roles each film, their depictions differ drastically. Blue Velvet portrays these two female archetypes vying for the affection of Jeffrey Beaumont, a young man as curious as he is na?ve. In Mulholland Drive, conversely, Lynch eliminates the male character from this equation. The light girl and dark girl are lovers engaged in a same sex relationship on the outskirts of Hollywood."

Abstract
This paper examines how the psyche of "Japan Inc." is its strength and its weakness too. This psyche had initially served Japan well, but it has now outlived its utility and hence must changed. To change this psyche, the paper proposes two policy recommendations. One deals with the social roots of the psyche and the other deals with the economic roots. For the social aspect of the psyche, the paper proposes that the Japanese relook and rewrite their history. For the economic aspect, the paper proposes that the Japanese instate a viable pension system. (The paper recommends the Chilean Pension system along with the reasons). The paper shows that by restudying their history, the Japanese may come out of their myth of being a homogeneous race and thus move forward to assimilate foreigners. The paper explains how this assimilation will be in the interest of "Japan Inc". By adopting a sound pension system, the economic future of Japan will be more optimistic and rid the country of its burden of the 'lifetime employment? system The paper argues that both these measures will help change the adverse demographic pattern of the society to the long-term advantage of "Japan Inc". The paper includes graphs.
From the Paper
"It may be argued that the Japanese growth was nothing but a happy accident of history, but whatever it was, it was indeed awesome and left Economists gasping for explanations. However as Japanese are now realizing, in its bid to catch up with the West, Japan has caught its own tail. Side by side of following the West, Japan ?forgot? to learn English and could not become a favorite destination for foreigners in search for opportunities. Its empty immigration offices should worry Japan and the Government should swiftly move to attract foreign labor as they will not only bring youthful energy and ideas with them but will also be a source of huge demand for Japanese economy. The Japanese can learn from the US experience where the US economy is benefited by the demand generated by the foreigners apart from the Americans themselves- something which was consciously promoted by the US government in the past, of having a multi colored heterogeneous society which today is America?s biggest strength."

Abstract
In this paper, the author examines the cognitive psych involved in learning to read. He looks primarily at children, and their developmental skills in learning to read. The author reminds us that there are many different methods of teaching, and some are more efficient than others. Among them is systematic phonetics, which the author considers to be more effective or superior to other techniques. He details the criteria involved in teaching this method. The author then moves on to discuss phonemic awareness which is the understanding that sounds of spoken language working together, make words. The paper continues to discuss all of the methodologies involved in developing children's reading. In conclusion, the author reminds us that there are many children who are condemned as failures within the school system due to their different style of learning, as compared to other children. These children should not be overlooked.
From the Paper
"One of the most common terms used in reading is phonemic awareness, but the term is not often clearly understood. Many feel that phonemic awareness and phonics is essentially the same thing. This is not true. Phonemic is the understanding that sounds of spoken language working together make words, whereas phonics is the concept that there is an understandable relationship between phonemes and graphemes. The graphemes are the letters which represent sound in language when it is written. For the children to be able to benefit from instructions on phonics, they have to be aware of phonemics. The simple reason for this is that when children cannot hear or work with phonemes of spoken words, they will have a lot of difficulties in relating these phonemes to the graphemes that they will see in the words when written. Another misconception is to understand phonemic awareness to mean the same as phonological awareness, when that is not correct. (Goodman, 1967)"

Nursing in an Acute-Care Psych Ward, 2008.
This paper applies P.L. Chinn and M.K. Kramer's approach to nursing to an acute-care psych ward.

Abstract
The paper supports the modified philosophical approach to nursing championed by Chinn and Kramer and shows how their contribution to Dorothy Orem's theories improve the process of thought. The paper further shows how Chinn and Kramer codify, in a stepwise function, how to improve practice and apply conscious theory development to the profession. The paper discusses their "third-level" philosophical approach and relates that although this approach may seem distant to nurses involved in the day-to-day chaos of the acute care wards, they provide a useful conceptual framework for an improvement of the profession.
Outline:
Introduction
Implementation of Orem as Interpreted by Chinn and Kramer
Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Nursing has progressed from a 'helping,' or 'mothering' profession in the mid-1900's to a profession which incorporates the same basic human emotions, but also combines with empirical evidence to help improve the patient's quality of life. Applying a concrete definition to the concept of nursing was a pioneering effort from Orem in the 1980's. Subsequent work by Fawcett, Chinn, Kramer and others in the 1990's added a more philosophical level to the practice of nursing."

Betrayal of the Blind Psyche, 2003.
An analysis of Harold Pinter's drama, "Betrayal", using Freudian theory.
2,785 words (approx. 11.1 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 83.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that people make choices ignorant of the consequences. It examines the characters of Harold Pinter's "Betrayal" as manifestations of the Freudian psyche: the id, ego. and superego. Using this model, the author dissects their actions and the overall actions of the play. The paper includes two specific, in-depth analyses of scenes.
From the Paper
"Betrayal is one act, broken into nine formal scenes, suggesting the integral continuity of life, as well as its episodic nature. Close inspection of any one of these scenes reveals a careful representation of human dialogue when nearly all the action is based upon deceit. In particular, scenes four and five illustrate Pinter?s dramatic and thematic structure."

Edgar Allan Poe: Short Stories, 2008.
Compares two short stories "Metzengerstein" and "A Tale Of The Ragged Mountains" by Edgar Allan Poe.

Abstract
This paper discusses Edgar Allan Poe's "Metzengerstein" and "A Tale Of The Ragged Mountains" by examining the relationship between symbolic imagery and the human psyche in these short stories. The author points out that in "Metzengerstein", Poe's uses the physical object of a tapestry to symbolize the acute madness that is befalling the protagonist Frederick Baron Metzengerstein. The paper then relates ways that Poe's literary techniques and devices are used for specific purposes in "A Tale of the Ragged Mountains". The paper concludes that, in both of these short stories, Poe is advocating the idea that what may appear to be is not always what it is.
From the Paper
"In addition to the short story "Metzengerstein," the similar use of a physical object to allegorize a character's psyche can also be seen in Poe's short story "A Tale Of The Ragged Mountains." Daniel J. Philippon (1998) discusses this specific literary technique of Poe's in his article "Poe in the Ragged Mountains' Environmental History And Romantic Aesthetics." Philippon explains how most of Poe's stories explore the internal landscape of his characters at the expense of the physical world."

Abstract
This paper will discuss the gender role of Psyche in Apuleius' "The Golden Ass" and determine the how she is identified in the story in this perspective. By analyzing the themes in the tale that reflect her sexuality and her relationship to Cupid, we can see how gender roles get confused at times in the search for love that Psyche sets out to find. In her gender construction her main elements reveal a much more complex blend of gender mixing than one would assume from normal gender stereotypes. The gender aspects of Psyche will be revealed in this study and ascertain how they are mixed throughout the tale.

Female Views on Pornography and Effects on Children, 2001.
This paper argues that pornography has a terribly negative affect on men's view of women and women's psyche.

Abstract
This paper argues that pornography has a terribly negative affect on men's view of women and women's psyche. Pornography is not only highly addictive material but it?s a book of lies about women portrayals. Even soft-core pornography portrays women as sex objects existing only to give sexual satisfaction to men. They are "pets" or "playmates" only from the neck down. Women in porn are big breasted and thin, these stereotypes give women self-cautious feelings around male counterparts. ?Also, pornography teaches that sex is purely fun in nature. There is no touching intimacy in pornography, only fast physical satisfaction. The paper uses the works of some feminists and socialists to prove the negative affect of pornography, but also examines opposing views.
From the Paper
"Pornography is not made to educate but to sell, and for the most part, what sells is a bunch of lies about sex and women. Women are portrayed as enjoying being raped, spanked or beaten, tied up, mutilated, enslaved, or they accept it as their lot as women to be victims of such experiences."

Abstract
This paper examines Sigmund Freud's psychological theories on the human psyche by beginning at the developmental stage of a newborn. The paper describes the ideas of the unconscious id, the ego and the superego. It also illustrates Freud?s use of psychoanalysis to cure neuroses and the function of dreams and free association therapy.
From the Paper
"Sigmund Freud enumerates that the human psyche consists of the unconscious id, the ego (which is partly conscious and partly unconscious), and the superego (also partly conscious and partly unconscious). At first, a newborn has only an id, which consists of blind drives that seek satisfaction. In a few months, the ego is developed when the newborn experiences resistance and frustration of its drives by the outside world: it realizes that it is separate from that external world and develops a sense of self."

Mead and Freud, 2002.

Abstract
One of the most fundamental questions for the field of psychology is how it is that we come to be the way that we are. What is it that makes us human? To what extent are we all like one another and to what extent are we each unique? The paper shows that two of the founding scholars of the discipline of psychology, Sigmund Freud and George Herbert Mead, both created models to explain how fundamental and arguably universal human psychic structures developed. The paper explains that while sharing some common ideas about the ways in which human nature and human personality are formed, the two scholars proposed distinctly different interior road-maps of the human psyche as well as very different pathways by which core psychic structures develop. The paper therefore examines, discusses and compares Mead's Interactionist Model and Freud's ideas on the power of the ego.
From the Paper
"We, as individuals, are generally made aware of the activation of our personal defense mechanisms, Freud argued, by the presence of anxiety in our lives. We know that one or more of our defense mechanisms are working because when they are we experience a rush of anxiety. Defense mechanisms are brought into play by the psyche to allow the ego to work to reach solutions (i.e. compromises) to the problems that each individual meets in the course of everyday life. Defense mechanisms allow the ego to cope with something unwelcome (usually something threatening to our safety or comfort) by allowing that unwelcome thing to emerge into our consciousness in a disguised (and therefore manageable) form."

From the Paper
" Afflicting people of all ages, and of all walks of life, Multiple Sclerosis (commonly referred to as MS) is a disease of the central nervous system and is prevalent in all nations across the globe. In spite of the fact that anybody can develop MS, the disease is predominantly found in adolescents, and most especially in female adolescents. Approximately 2,500,000 people around the world are diagnosed with MS. In the United States of America alone, statistics show that one in every seven hundred people has multiple sclerosis (Rose & Mackay, 1998). With roots tracing as far back as the middle ages, MS was amongst the first diseases to be accurately assessed through the use of the scientific method, which was derived in the early nineteenth century. In 1868 Jean-Martin Charcot, a professor of neurology at the University of Paris, who has been called "the father of neurology", carefully examined a young woman with a tremor of a sort he had never seen before. He was the first to document the disease of Multiple Sclerosis, and record its multitude of characteristics (Britannica, 2006). Fifty years the latter of Charcot's achievements, a detailed microscopic description made by James Dawson revealed the basic damage done in MS, and helped bring forth the biggest happening within the disease's historical timeline; the creation of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in 1946 by Sylvia Lawry (MSAA, 2004). With respect to the creation of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, the last sixty years have been characterized by breakthroughs in diagnosing, treating, and preventing MS. In response to an international outcry for support, governments around the world, as well as medical societies, research companies, and donation services have joined forces in pursuing the ultimate goal of curing Multiple Sclerosis."

"She", 2004.
Review and analysis of Robert Johnson's book about the female psyche.
884 words (approx. 3.5 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 31.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Robert Johnson's book, "She", is based on a Jungian exploration of myth and archetype. The paper points out that, while some readers may view the book as anti-feminist and completely irrelevant for modern women, Johnson repeatedly indicates that the archetypal male and female elements elucidated by myth do not directly refer to biological characteristics. Rather, each man and each woman can relate to the principles embodied by myths and thus learn something from a deep exploration of mythology. The paper also points out that "She" should always be read in light of Jungian psychology and that the underlying principles of Johnson's book about the female psyche are best appreciated when his writing is viewed symbolically.
From the Paper
"Ascribing archetypes, deities, and myths to universal human experiences is an effective and engaging tool. Readers need not accept all of what Johnson has to say in She to appreciate its underlying messages. For instance, his exposition of Aphrodite, Psyche, Eros, and other deities points simply to an analysis of such psychological forces as desire, jealousy, fear, and love. Rather than dryly spell out the meanings and functions of psychological and emotional energies, Johnson clothes them in colorful imagery. Unfortunately, the author dwells far too much on marriage as the central experience in a woman?s life. The author makes his most stereotypical statements regarding the roles of men and women in marriage. For instance, he states on page 17 that women are ?bound in her marriage as he is not,? and that ?She may resent this, but not to be caught in this way by life is an even worse death.? "

Abstract
This essay examines the symbolic nature of character in Ralph Ellison's classic, "Invisible Man". It observes that the characters themselves are almost more symbolic than real, and as such paint an achingly painful picture of the plight of the African American male trying to find a place in a society that ignores him. It concludes that each character represents an element of the African American psyche.
