Abstract
The paper notes that there are many skills that help a person in their career but are not commonly taught in many of today's schools. The paper focuses on the skill of using a 10-key calculator by touch. Every computer keyboard has a 10-key calculator attached that is used on a daily basis. The paper relates that this is an important skill for anyone in business to have. The paper points out that you will not save the world or save a life if you learn how to use a calculator without looking at it. However, mastering this skill can make your business and personal life easier. The paper highlights how mastering incompetence gives a feeling of achievement and pride and so does learning a new skill, no matter how small.
From the Paper
"Think about the last time you balanced your checkbook, averaged your expenses for the month, or figured out a players ERA average. You used a calculator. Chances are you use a calculator all the time at home, and at the office, too. If you know how to use that calculator more quickly and efficiently, with fewer inputting errors, it could save time and give more accurate results. Learning 10-key by touch skills can give that time and save costly data entry errors. Some schools do offer 10-key courses for accounting students, and others offer them as part of basic computing classes."

This paper discusses that human touch is a powerful force, able to nurture and heal, and communicate thoughts and feelings beyond our verbal capabilities, and perhaps even to perform miracles; but it is also a highly controversial topic.

Abstract
This paper relates that the largest, and perhaps the single most important organ in the human body, is the skin, unique among other mammals in its lack of hair or fur, which makes possible a very unique experience, the human touch. The author explains, extensively, many aspects of the human touch, including tactile communication, the use of touching to communicate often accompanied by a sense of friendliness and intimacy, such as, in American culture, the handshake. The paper stresses that Western culture tends to be avoid of the use of tactile communication and other social forms of touch, which is a great loss to members of these societies because touch can be one of the most effective forms of communication and social bonding.

From the Paper
"Babies have further been shown to be of healthier weights and sleep more soundly, as well as being more alert and learning faster, when given massage therapy treatments. (Dess) Infants born prematurely have always been at particular risk for health trauma and death. Countless studies have now shown that premature babies are much more likely to survive when cuddled by their mothers and given other tactile stimulation. In one premature babies study, babies who received infant massage went home from the hospital an average of six days earlier than those who did not. Repeated case studies have shown that infants deprived of loving touch will sicken and may even die. ?Touch deprivation impairs development. Romanian nursery children, for example, were stunted, and MT helped them grow.?"

Abstract
This paper examines how the late 1940s proved to be an interesting time in American history. It looks at how a new threat arose against the U.S. government as American communists began spying for the Soviet Union. In particular, it explores how J. Edgar Hoover and the Federal Bureau of Investigation began to look into the mass media to find supposed Communist views, focusing on the film industry, and how, in 1947, the House Un-American Activities Committee under the leadership of a certain J. Parnell Thomas, held a hearing in which ten of Hollywood?s premier film makers, actors, and producers were found to hold anti-American Communist views in their works. These Hollywood members became known as ?The Hollywood Ten?.
From the Paper
"In order to single out supposed Communist members in Hollywood, the FBI devised certain set of criteria to determine if films contained anti-American views. Films were labeled subversive if ?Values or institutions judged to be particularly American are smeared or represented as evil in the movie, either explicitly or through casual references to current political events,? or if ?Values or institutions judged to be particularly anti-American or pro-Communist are glorified in the movie, either explicitly or through casual references to current political events (Noakes 5).? According to John Noakes, an assistant professor of sociology at Franklin and Marshall College, ?In four reports submitted between August 7 and November 17, 1947, the Los Angeles field office sent FBI headquarters reviews of seventeen movies released between 1943-1948 that it determined were subversive based on the MPAPAI criteria.

Abstract
In this paper the writer notes that there is a contest going on between conventional and alternative methods of treating sicknesses. The writer points out that conventional or traditional medicine relies on pills and other forms of mechanical intrusion into the ailing body, while alternative or holistic medicine aims at restoring the ailing body's balance by filling up its depleted energy field. The writer discusses that opponents have come up with views of the healing touch method as mere superstition, which cannot be outwardly proved, but notes that it continues to gather advocates among the public. The writer explains that the healing touch is an alternative method of addressing and correcting human illness, especially psychological illness, by intruding into the patient's depleted energy field and manipulating it. The writer concludes that the healing touch should be recommended but should not replace what is strictly within the proven or commonplace jurisdiction of traditional or conventional medicine.

Introduction

Summary and Recommendation
From the Paper
"A typical session starts with the patient sitting or lying down and the practitioner moves his hands over the patient's body without needing actual contact. The practitioner senses rough areas in the energy field. He is able to make an assessment or "diagnosis" in a few minutes. Many patients feel the sweeping motion made by the practitioner with his hands as a kind of warmth or pleasant vibration. The practitioner should desire the patient's well-being in order to produce the effect. Dr. Krieger said that the healing that follows is not a new concept. The touch somehow changes or improves the body's hemoglobin levels and this leads to the restoration of health. She insisted that the body's energy field is an electromagnetic phenomenon."

The Role of Touching in Nursing, 2004.
This paper discusses the essential role that touch continues to play in the medical profession, especially nursing.

Abstract
This paper explains that comforting and touch go hand in hand as compliments to traditional medicine and play a critical role in preserving the concept of compassion and caring as part of the healing process. The author points out that, through the emergence of holistic nursing, nurses are beginning to realize they are attending to the spirit as well as the body; their role is to do much more than administer medicine. The paper relates that, even though a number of approaches focused on the healing touch are gaining popularity in medical circles, there is still a lot of skepticism as to the validity of these alternative approaches as part of the intervention process.

From the Paper
"Modern medicine has advanced to the stages where personal contact and physical interaction with the patient is nominal. Historically, nurses have been the caregivers and have made touch an essential part of the healing process. There is sound medical evidence available that indicates that massage and touch can stimulate lymph fluid circulation and increase blood circulation as well as trigger the autonomic nervous system."

Introduction
How They Were Given To Us
Why We Were Given the Commandments
The Commandments Are Still Effective in Today's Modern World
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Pastors have to work on Sundays, therefore many of them choose to honor the Sabbath with regards to stopping work on another day of the week. Laymen can follow that pattern and choose a different day of the week in which to honor the Sabbath by stopping all work.
The fifth commandment tells the world to honor our parents. This commandment applies to today as well. We can all do things that honor our parents. The world is more open today than it was in the past about abuse, alcohol problems and separated families. Even given these problems however, there are still ways to honor parents by not attacking them and that is in keeping with the commandments.
Do not murder is self explanatory. It is obviously something that fits with today's society for the most part, however there are problems when it comes to capital punishment. Do we have the right to murder if it is a convicted murderer? No. The commandment tells us not to murder therefore it is not up to us to carry out the death penalty. People today point to the bible verses about an eye for an eye, but there is nothing that condones the taking of one of God's children's lives."

Abstract
The writer of this detailed paper debates the question whether the Ten Commandments should be visibly displayed in U.S. courthouses as well as the growing conflict between religious and political institutions regarding this matter. This paper also contains detailed information about recent court cases relating to this particular issue. The writer states and explains why posting the Ten Commandments in a courthouse does not establish religion but does violate the interpretation that church and state should be kept strictly separate.
Topics covered in this report include:
Part 1: Issue Selection
Part 2: Interest Groups
Part 3: Republican v. Democrat v. Libertarian
Part 4: Timeline
Part 5: Local Officials
Part 6: Argument/Speech
Bibliography
From the Paper
"Democrats of course come out on the opposite end of this issue. Most Democrats are of the opinion that when the Constitution laid out its restrictions on the interaction of government and religion, that included posting religious artifacts, symbols and statements on government property. The fact that the Ten Commandments are Christian in nature, and can be found in the courts, leads Liberals to the conclusion that it is a government act that promotes Christianity."

"Ten Little Indians", 2005.

Abstract
This paper examines the short story collection, "Ten Little Indians," by Sherman Alexie, in which the guests are mysteriously eliminated, one by one, in bloody and ingenious fashions. It looks at how Sherman Alexie's tales attempt to eliminate stereotypes about Indians, one by one, and how, in this collection of short stories, which itself is ironic in its structure because it contains nine rather than ten stories of thwarted individuals, sex, and sexuality that is always displaced rather than directed towards its original object of desire.
From the Paper
"Desire, and feeling passion in a world where desire only seems to lead to futility, because the society denies the identity of even the most successful Indian, causes Indian people to divert their desires into other, often ineffective ways. Jackson Jackson turns to gambling and drink, his uncle to murder. The scholarly heroine of the library set tale, entitled "The Search Engine," turns to books and literature, for the "huge number of books confirmed how much magic she'd been denied for most of her life, and now she hungrily wanted to read every book on every shelf. An impossible task, to be sure, Herculean in its exaggeration, but Corliss wanted to read herself to death," in a fashion that suggests this spinster has diverted her sexual desires into words and literature with a ferocious appetite."

Ten Commandments and Congress, 2005.

»

Abstract
This paper examines the American constitution's first amendment about the separation of religion and state and discusses this sensitive issue. The writer, however, takes the opinion that the statue of the ten commandments near the state buildings is not unconstitutional. Legal proceeding regarding this issue are discussed in the paper to strengthen the writer's opinion.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, with religion being a part of this nation's history and the State Capitol grounds being a national landmark, I think that this monument of the Ten Commandments is in no way unconstitutional. As the First Amendment, Lemon test, Alleghany v. ACLU, Stone v. Graham, and Books v. Elkhart have shown, the proceedings surrounding the placement of this monument and the monument itself are not unconstitutional. Thus for these reasons, I believe that the monument of the Ten Commandments located on the grounds of the Texas State Capitol does not violate the First Amendment and is not in violation of the separation of church and state."

The Ten Commandments in United States Courtrooms, 2005.

Abstract
This paper examines the controversy surrounding the Ten Commandments in the U.S. courtrooms within the larger picture of religious freedom in the country in a post-911 era.
From the Paper
"When white settlers, slave-traders, and plantation-owners brought black African captives over to the United States, swapping them like livestock or store-bought goods, one of the consequences was the loss of the transplanted slaves' religion. Forced upon them were the religious beliefs of their masters and stolen from them were their traditional ways of faith. In more modern times, an era of post-9/11 fear and dismay, United States citizens are afraid of Muslim residents and immigrants, worried that they may trigger more terrorist attacks. Because of this fear, stricter regulations have been placed upon to whom they may donate their hard-earned money and fear has run rampant through their mosques, with threats of violence, arson, or vandalism fresh in their minds."

?Instrument: Ten Years with the Band Fugazi?, 2002.
An analysis of the film, ?Instrument: Ten Years with the Band Fugazi?, directed by Jem Cohen.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper shows that the film "Instrument: Ten Years with the Band Fugazi", directed by Jem Cohen at first seems to have no particular perspective upon its subject. It discusses however that when a viewer looks at the film more closely and carefully applies a critical cinematic eye to the filmmaking process, a solidified interpretation begins to become clear. The author of the paper shows that by not having an ostentatiously obvious ?take? on this punk band and the particular music the band has produced, the director has revealed his own moral orientation in favor of personal simplicity and a lack of hype in the production of music. He shows too that the director has chosen to focus on the band because Fugazi is one of the supreme manifestations of the punk scene, a scene that emerged as a radical movement in youth music but largely became commercialized but Fugazi stands apart in sharp contrast to all of descents into commercialization, however, and still remains pure and true to its roots. The director's own simplicity of style reflects its subject?s simplicity.
From the Paper
"The film?s belief in the purity of the band is primarily reflected in the film?s unpretentious format. The director simply followed the band?s progress over the course of ten years, from backstage, to on-stage, to meetings with fans, even to the grandmother?s home of one of the band members. Rather than choosing a short period of the band?s history, the film follows a ?story? arc over an extended period of time. Thus the documentary does not attempt to create a sharp, swift narrative about the seduction or perils of fame. Rather, it features the artists from Fugazi talking about their work and playing their work through various ups and downs of concert touts and through various stabs at music distribution and creation. The perspective the artists are able to bring to their work over such an extended period of history gives the documentary an authenticity and a full reality that similar manifestations of the 'rock-u-mentary' genre lack."

Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of the famous opening sequence of Orson Welles's film noir, "A Touch of Evil". The paper focuses on the cinematography and the long tracking shot that begins the film.
From the Paper
"Orson Welles is widely considered to be one of the masters of modern cinema. His work on films, though originally considered a diversion to raise money for his theater projects and marred by clashes with the Hollywood studio system, created some of the greatest American films. Though not as acclaimed as his masterpiece Citizen Kane, Welles?s film noir Touch of Evil is a remarkable piece of cinema in its own right, especially the striking opening sequence."

Film Noir and the Hollywood Ten, 2002.
An overview of how the Hollywood Ten and the McCarthy Hearings helped create Film Noir.
2,130 words (approx. 8.5 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 66.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper helps to explain how Film Noir - stories which symbolize our nightmares and fears - was created by the fears during McCarthyism and the House Committee on Un-American Activities. It also tells of the "Hollywood Ten" who refused to answer questions from the HUAC and how "black-listing" of actors, directors and producers hurt the production industry.
From the Paper
"Hollywood is no stranger to scandals and betrayals. Pick up any tabloid or watch the late-night news and you?ll see great announcements about who has done what and what that might mean for his/her career. But nothing was as controversial or damaging as the conviction of the Hollywood Ten during the ?McCarthyism? era, which helped to propel movie-making into a new genre that would reflect the history and emotions of those who participated in one way or another."

"Discourses on the First Ten Books of Titus Livius", 2002.
A paper which examines the ideas put forth by philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli in his book ?Discourses on the First Ten Books of Titus Livius?.

Abstract
The paper shows that while most people are familiar with the adjective ?machiavellian?, very few are actually knowledgeable about the political philosophy of Niccolo Machiavelli. It discusses how, in fact, Machiavelli has a great deal to teach us and we should be careful not to dismiss Machiavelli?s thoughtfulness and acuity as an observer of human society by relegating his contributions to a single, uncomplimentary adjective. The paper shows that especially in his "Discourses on the First Ten Books of Titus Livius" , we see in this writer of the Italian Renaissance a man who was truly engaged in the intellectual work required to create a system of government that was based on ideals and yet that also acknowledged the realities of human society as he understood them from his particular historical perspective. This paper examines the particular suggestions that Machiavelli outlined in "Discourses" for a well governed republic.
From the Paper
"Among Machiavelli?s pieces of advice to royal rulers was a judicious use of force (while this may sound barbaric to us, in fact many royal rulers of Machiavelli?s time used force unrestrained by any sense of mercy) along with a respect for the private property of individuals and local traditions and customs. Machiavelli did also argue that the same standards of morality cannot be applied to rulers as to those that are ruled because the conditions of their lives and the extent of their responsibilities are so different from each other that a single set of standards for behavior cannot obtain."

The Ten Commandments, 2002.
This is an explanation about how the Ten Commandments helped the Jewish people become a holy nation.

»

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of the Ten Commandments that the Jewish people received from God. It examines each commandment individually, discussing its importance. The author also discusses why the Jews, and no other people, were specifically chosen to receive these commandments.
From the Paper
"The Decalogue is designed for only the Jews. These ten laws that they have to abide by are written to ultimately free the Jews from sin. God targeted the Jews because this would be able to prove his power; by taking a nation that had nothing, and turning them into something great. The whole world would know Gods glory. The Decalogue are divine laws, they come straight from God himself and let his will be known. The Decalogue was designed to control external actions, but cannot control the inner thoughts and desires of the Israelites."
