Abstract
This paper examines Heidegger's description of factical life experience as attitudinal, in that it indifferently asserts relational meanings as significance. In comparison, it takes a look at his examination of how the Christian life experience stands indifferently towards such indifference. The paper points out that, in factical life, the surrounding world tends to dictate in its immediacy an attitude of the significance of objects that presupposes experience, whereas the Christian life experience of 'having become' inhabits a futurity that exists in both time and history in a manner that factical life cannot. The paper maintains that the primordial Christian lives both time and history in a manner which reduces the significances of factical life to incidental temporality. The paper concludes that this attitude engenders a sense of anguish in its oppositions, which reinforces itself as the 'how', or manner in which Dasein embraces being at the phenomenological point of experience.
From the Paper
"Factical life experience is attitudinal in that its Dasein, or being-in-the-world, is determined by a relationship with experience that is presupposed by a web of significances, which refer solely to the surrounding material world. "'Attitude' is a relation to objects in which the conduct is absorbed in the material complex". There exists only an interest in the content, the matter that exists as the material component of experience, which draws the focus away from the experiential self. Attitude is as much a cognitive position toward the world as objects, as it is a dictation of the relationship to the material complex, not as self, but as an object dictated by the significances of the surrounding world. The 'how' of factical life is 'fallen' into because it 'worlds'; the attitude of significance it is not generated from Dasein, rather, it is a living in history. The attitude of significance subsumes the 'how' and hides the historicity of the material complex. History, as enacted by science, forms an objective material complex that factical life experience takes up as 'what actually happened'; a structure of attitudinal foreconceptions of objects which hold significance only with regard to the axiomatic foundations of science as enacted through history. Relational meaning and their enactment are directed by the surrounding world, instead of either being self-generated through Dasein or by the experience itself. Factical Dasein is inserted into factical life to secure itself either against, with, or for history, reducing both Dasein and history to the status of objects in service to factical life's attitudinal relationship to experience. "The concerned Dasein is only an object-segment from a great whole object (from the entire objective historical happening)". Living-in-the-world is constructed objectively in a historical context that is re-interpreted by the tendency of life to 'fall away' attitudinally into preconceptions of objects as significance."

Abstract
This paper examines how the phenomenology of Martin Heidegger deals with, amongst others, some of the crucial issues of modern times; namely, technology, science, and mortality. In particular, it looks at how the neonatal experience takes place within the ambit of a technological environment and is concerned with factors that are related to the issues that such a technological environment creates in terms of a Heideggerian phenomenology. Through a literature review, it attempts review studies of the neonatal experience as it directly relates to Heideggerian phenomenology.
Outline
Introduction
Existentialism and Phenomenology in Relation to the Neonatal Experience
Heidegger: Essential Background
Science and the Neonatal Experience
The Problematics of Death
Neonatal Experience
Ethics and Morality
From the Paper
"It should be borne in mind that phenomenology is defined as a mode of thought or philosophy that dissects and focuses on the meaning that exists prior to or behind events and views these events as life experiences. As such, it is more concerned with thought and feeling as components of living experience than with strict theoretical frameworks and preconceptions. This definition of phenomenology fits in very well with the Heideggerian view of contemporary thought, which he considers to have been ?enframed? into a certain mode of thought by the history of metaphysics. Heidegger?s particular phenomenological viewpoint is extremely appropriate to the investigation and analysis of the neonatal experience."

Experience and Feminism, 2006.
A discussion regarding the misconception of the feminist movement that all of women's experiences are the same.

Abstract
This paper discusses the idea that if we want the truth about experience then we have to realize there are many very different perspectives or standpoints none of which is complete or completely true. Feminists made a great mistake at first by seeing all of women's experiences as basically one thing. In other words they missed the diversity or great variety of women experience. That is just one problem about experience. There are many problems. These problems all have to do with the nature of experience.

Outline:
Introduction
"Lost in Translation"
"The Buddha of Suburbia"
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In her autobiography, Lost in Translation, Eva Hoffman discusses her personal experience migrating from Poland to Canada during her teenage years. Her intimate account describes the struggles and emotions such an experience can cause. For her, there is a definite divide in her life; her childhood in Poland and new life in Canada. Part of what made her experience so difficult and intense was the change in language. No longer was she comfortable in her environment because of her language barrier to English. He lacked a command of the language and this caused her to internalize her personality. The title of the book does not only refer to her confusion but also a shift of consciousness. In a sense she has lost her social construct found in language and was struggling to understand her new one at time in life when identity and social standing are already difficult. "

In this article, the writer describes that the visit to the Islamic Center of Baton Rouge was a fascinating and enlightening experience.

The writer points out that this visit to the Mosque was an eye-opening experience, during which many new things were learned. The writer concludes that if more people took an interest in exploring the diverse cultures that make up the country, there would be more understanding and possibly less struggles with race, religious differences and gender friction.
From the Paper
"Literally translated the word Qur'an means "recital." It is written in 114 chapters, or sutras, and contains exactly 6,000 verses. Unlike the Bible, which has been translated into multiple languages for the purpose of worship, the Qur'an is felt to be genuine and hold any authority only in the original language with which the Angel Gabriel recited to Muhammed and Muhammed penned the book, and that is Arabic. Even Muslims who are not Arabic learn, memorize and recite the Qur'an in Arabic.
The Qur'an explicitly states that there are Five Obligations of Islam. These are often referred to as the Five "Pillars" because these are the five elements upon which the whole of Islam is founded."

"First, we will refer to our customers as ?artists.? This reinforces the ?star? notion and differentiates the experience from any other ?customer? service. Additionally the booths the artists perform in will be known as Studios One, Two, and Three, reinforcing the idea that they are in a studio-like setting. Time the artist is in the studio performing will be known as a session. This is industry jargon that is used by professional recording studios and supports the artists? dream and vision. When the artist is waiting for their session to begin, they will wait in the Green Room (a name commonly used for the room professional actors or musicians wait in before they go on stage)."

Abstract
The paper relates that the birth experience has an impact on parental attachment to the infant, which can affect the quality of parenting for the child. The paper examines the factors that facilitate stronger attachment of the fathers to their infants. The paper presents an interview with a subject (referred to as BM) that reflects a more traditional view of the childbirth experience. The paper highlights how those responsible for a patient's care must be sensitive to all of their needs and must recognize the important role of fathers.
Outline:
Fathers and Pregnancy
Cultural Differences in Reactions to the Childbirth Experience
Case Analysis
From the Paper
"Cultural constraints of the past considered having children to be solely the role of the woman. However, recently these social roles have changed and fathers are now expected to be concerned over their pregnant spouse and to take a more active role in the birth experience. Despite these findings, fathers still report that they feel a lack of emotional involvement in the childbirth experience (Williams and Umberson, 1999). Evidence supports the suggestion that greater levels of involvement by fathers results in lower levels of stress. This helps both parents make the transition to parenthood (Williams and Umberson, 1999)."

Abstract
The following paper discusses the role of the poet in reference to William Blake?s famous set of 54 poems. The author feels that the function of the poet is the feelings he is able to invoke, the tensions between forces/themes that he is able to create and the message that he is able to portray.
From the paper:
?By the time we tumble into the second cycle of songs, those of experience, we are almost eager to do so. The poet no longer hears the voice of the child ?piping?; he announces: ?Hear the voice of the Bard!/Who Present, Past & Future sees.? This poet sees ?in evey face I meet/Marks of weaknes, marks of woe.? (London). Many of the poems are paired with poems of the first cycle. For Blake, man is torn between the forces of experience and innocence, two states of the soul. Now, in experience, we see ?In a rich and fruitful land,/Babes reduced to misery? (Holy Thursday)?.

William Blake's "Songs of Innocence and Experience", 2001.
A look at different ways to interpret ?The Songs of Innocence and Experience?.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at how "Songs of Innocence and Experience" is a portrayal of the continual conflict between innocence and experience.
From the Paper
The poems of William Blake?s "Songs of Innocence and Experience" are portrayals of the continual conflict between innocence and experience. Each poem tells different links of interweaved stories. For instance, the two "Holy Thursday" poems are being told simultaneously by different narrators and with different viewpoints. The Bard in the "Introduction to Songs of Experience" appears again in "The Sick Rose" and is again calling to an individual; perhaps this individual is the same character as the narrator at the end of "The Echoing Green". By weaving through these stories and characters, Blake portrays views of innocence and experience as they appear in several characters. While these characters may not be the actual characters in previous poems, there is sufficient evidence to support the theory that the characters that are introduced are meant to represent the characters that have similar experiences to those which have been introduced earlier. Therefore, Blake defines a few different ??type?? of characters, whose types are defined by the amount of experience, wisdom, and maturity."

From Novice to Expert: My ?Ahha? Experience, 2004.
This paper discusses the five stages from the novice to expert theory created by Patricia Benner and the incident, which triggered the author?s ?Ahha? experience.

Abstract
The paper explains that an ?Ahha moment? is usually a sudden realization of an understanding of a concept. The author relates that her ?Ahha? happened during an operation in which she, as a surgery nurse, was able to use her prior experience to pick up cues from the situation and act quickly, thus demonstrating Benner's fifth stage of professional nursing development. The paper stresses that experience is essential for the development of professional expertise.
From the Paper
"In Stage One of Benner?s theory, the novice has little or no experience. The circulating nurse who had to be told to get the crash cart is an example of this stage. Stage Two is identified as the advance beginner. According to Benner, in this stage the nurse has experienced enough real situations to make judgments. In Stages Four and Five, the nurse is able to see the big picture. These two stages define expertise. A nurse finding herself in these two stages could trigger an "Ahha experience". Hence, in the scenario, being able to extract from prior experiences highlighted my appreciation of the concept that nursing experience is crucial for the development of expertise skills."

Language as Tradition and Experience, 2004.
Examines the concept of language as tradition and experience in discourses by Chang-Rae Lee, Dennis Baron, and Amy Tan.
1,003 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Language as a tradition and experience illustrates the holistic effect of language to individuals. In the field of social psychology, it is posited that language determines thought, and this hypothesis, called the theory of linguistic relativity, is proposed by Benjamin Whorf and Edward Sapir. The theory shows how language determines people?s perceptions of their social realities as experienced and related to within their society. Chang-Rae Lee ("Mute in an English-Only World"), Dennis Baron ("Don?t Make English Official-Ban it Instead"), and Amy Tan ("Mother Tongue") confront this issue in discourses on language as tradition and experience. This paper provides a comparative analysis of the authors? works and arguments about language and its function and meaning for the individual and society.
From the Paper
"Baron uses the academic approach in portraying English as a tradition, a functional system of codes that enables people to interact with each other in the society. Using this as his primary thesis, Baron argues that English should not be implemented as the country?s national language, since ?it?s hardly even English anymore.? The hybridization of English in America is the result of the assimilation of other languages of people with various nationalities who immigrate and live in America. Because of the emergence of hybrid, pseudo-American languages, it cannot be possible to determine the ?purity? of English as a language anymore. Thus, implementing English per se defeats the purpose of language for society?that is, to let people interact and understand each other. However, Baron?s argument does not conclude definitively, since as he confesses, ?there is no obvious candidate? that would be fitting to become an alternative to English. Thus, Baron?s arguments is halted and brought to a standstill, since his arguments against the language pertains only to its function as tradition, and not as an argument against English as a language experienced by its users."

Customer Experience and Business Organizational Behavior, 2002.
This paper evaluates the relationship between customer experience and business structure.

»

Abstract
The paper studies the relationship between customer experience and idealized business or organizational structure, as advanced by Prahalad and Ramaswamy in an article from 2000. The writer then offers a set of criteria against which such a theory can be assessed. The paper identifies the key theoretical constructs which underpin the movement toward integration of customer experience and competence into other business systems.
From the Paper
"The creation of superior customer value is accomplished because of an organization's ability to continually generate intelligence about customers' expressed and latent needs and about how to satisfy those needs. Typically, intelligence generation has been treated as a generic activity of the organization but the new competitive environment necessitates the development of a more customer-focused and interactive intelligence-generation capability (Slater & Narver, 2000). Again, the Internet and other information technologies are ideal vehicles for gathering this kind of intelligence and creating the "customer communities" that Prahalad and Ramaswamy (2000) have described. Virtual communities are cost-effective meeting places for a firm and its customers, and also offer rapid turn-around and information exchange."

Abstract
The author of this paper had a transformative experience regarding gender when she was 14 years old, and it has shaped her life in subtle and dramatic ways ever since. The writer describes an experience which happened during a school viewing of the film "Romeo and Juliet."
From the Paper
"It was the old 1968 version, directed by Franco Zeffirelli's, with Ali McGraw as Juliet, Leonard Whiting as Romeo, and Michael York as Tybalt ("1968's Romeo and Juliet"). I watched it with my class. The boys were bored (or pretended to be), while the girls bickered over who was the most gorgeous--Romeo or Tybalt. Most agreed it was Tybalt. I thought they were all quite mad. For me, the pivotal moment of the film, and of my adolescence, was when Juliet married Romeo."

"Songs of Innocence and of Experience", 2006.
An analysis of the function and importance of illustrations in William Blake's poem, "Songs of Innocence and of Experience."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes William Blake's poem, "Songs of Innocence and of Experience." The paper focuses on the extent to which the nature of illustration affords greater subversive power than text in Blake's poem. The paper describes the content of the poem and suggests that in "Songs of Innocence and of Experience," the text illuminates the illustrations.
From the Paper
"Readers today tend to feel that Blake's words could stand alone and still have complete meaning. Indeed, many publishers today include few or none of the prints in their editions of the Songs. However, illustrated books always rely on illustration to varying degrees to add something important to their meaning. Images can also be subversive in more striking and emotive ways than most text, while simultaneously being subtler. Moreover, Blake wrote at a time when the illustrated book was widely respected as a serious genre of literature, unlike today. Blake's readers would have been much more accustomed to interpreting images in complex ways, and familiar with the use of religious allegory and political imagery at the time. Therefore, in Blake's own time, although the words crystallised the meanings of the illustrations, the images would have had subversive meaning for the reader without the need for text. Blake plays with the relation between word and image in his work. Indeed, although he refers to his own work as an 'illuminated manuscript', Blake even subverts the idea of the medieval illuminated manuscript itself, by challenging the idea that the illustrations 'illuminate' the text. The idea implies that the text has meanings that the illustrations simply reflect and clarify. In Songs of Innocence and of Experience, the text illuminates the illustrations."
