Abstract
This paper contains a brief history of both Southwest and United and examines both airlines' marketing strategies. United, considered the leader of large domestic and international carriers has had problems deciding on which type of passenger to concentrate. The initial goal of Southwest has not changed in that they strive to become the major short-haul carrier and to offer fares below those imposed by the brand-name carriers. These two airlines provide a stark contrast in marketing priorities which are detailed in this paper. This paper also discusses the types of aircrafts both companies use, as well as relevant facts and details pertaining to the airline industry.
From the Paper
"All major airlines now offer some form of electronic ticketing. For one thing, there is the convenience to passengers of not having to worry about "losing" a ticket. Information normally available on paper documents is stored electronically. Check-in, security, even customs procedures for travel using an electronic ticket are the same as for passengers with paper tickets. United explains, in its literature, that customers who use United and Air Canada electronic ticketing will have to check in with passport and the ticket receipt and, if booked by telephone, with the credit card used to purchase the ticket."

From the Paper
"There is a virtually universal belief that humans are able to use super- natural techniques to bring about misfortunes such as illness, death, loss of a spouse, or loss of property and on the lighter side, these techniques can also be used to create love potions and the retrieval of a lost heart. These supernatural abilities are commonly attributed to the practice of witchcraft and although there is no definitive definition for witchcraft, it seems that because it is a universal belief the only apparent differences in this belief system are found within the traditions particular to each specific culture. These traditional belief variances can be seen when comparing the Pueblo culture and the Hispanic culture found in the American Southwest. Although these two cultures exist side by side, the cultural practices concerning witch craft are definitely different, with the only similarities being of Spanish origin."

Abstract
The paper relates that, in "The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference", Gladwell looks at why and how major changes in society can happen unexpectedly and suddenly. The paper examines his argument that a few people can make an enormous social difference and large government initiatives are less effective in changing the world than smaller grassroots gestures. The paper explains Gladwell's concepts of the connector, stickiness and context. The writer of the paper is certain that these tools can help him/her affect change in both his/her personal life and the wider world.
From the Paper
"One of Gladwell's main ideas is that of the connector. A connector is a sociable person who serves to bring other people together. Connectors tend to have an unusually large number of social contacts, and share information readily. Gladwell writes, "The point about Connectors is that by having a foot in so many different worlds, they have the effect of bringing them all together" (page 51). As Gladwell so simply writes, connectors are "are a handful of people with a truly extraordinary knack of making friends and acquaintances" (page 41). Gladwell gives the example of a connector Lois Weisber, Chicago's commissioner of cultural affairs for many years."

Global Education: Each Person Makes a Difference, 2006.
An exploration of the need to educate about the environment in order to make a difference.

Abstract
In this paper the author looks at the growing need to educate about the environment in order to make a difference. He highlights that the purpose of establishing a global education is to prepare students by expanding their educational opportunities. He suggests this can be done by helping students to learn about the world beyond their own personal borders in order to save the planet from destruction. The author mentions the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which has a division in Washington D.C. called the Environmental Education Division who is willing to give grants to further environmental education. He also mentions the roles that communities can take in furthering education about the environment and concludes that everyone must make an effort - from teacher to parent - to ensure society protects and is aware of the environment.
From the Paper
"I am a proponent of crossing the curriculum and incorporating as much of the world into each unit as possible. As teachers we are being challenged to prepare students for responsible global citizenship and therefore instructional strategies need to be used by teachers that reflect the increasing diversity of today's global society (Becker, 1990). I feel that incorporating global education into the classroom allows the student to see that aspects of Language Arts reaches farther than just the pages of a book. I want students to know that the information within stories are part of a much larger picture in the world. However, in order to establish global education in the classroom each teacher must understand that the education must be appropriate and applicable to the person doing the learning. Too often the subject of environmental education focuses on a topic that is far removed from the reality of the student."

Difference and Deviance: Theories of Crime in Social Systems, 2002.
Considers some of the theories of deviance and criminality, emphasizing the complex work of understanding the relations of any people within a larger society.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 4 sources, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Deviance is socially determined and culturally specific. Because criminal law is determined by the ruling class, deviance is subject to perspectives that represent the desired norms of a dominant class. As such, people who differ from these norms are subject to standards that can identify their differences as criminal. Difference is not deviance; however, this distinction remains difficult to include into the current structure of justice and criminal law.

Cultural Difference and Religion in the Classroom, 2008.
An analysis of the need for teachers to cope with cultural differences and issues of religion in the classroom.

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of a teacher's ability to cope with students' natural outspokenness or curiosity while avoiding incidents that violate the rights of other children. Specifically, the paper discusses how teachers may need to cope with cultural differences and issues of religion in the classroom. It discusses a specific incident that occurred in Toronto involving an Aboriginal student and comments regarding Aboriginal religion that were made by students who had little knowledge of the religion. The paper analyzes the students' and teacher's responses.
From the Paper
" In this regard, the incident was very human and a helpful one in its showing students and the teacher the need to approach others with one's ignorance in mind, framing questions carefully, along with the statements one makes in settings where one can voice a direct opinion. In responding to the incident and its resulting awkwardness in the classroom, a brief exercise on the part of the teacher helped in preparing this paper in ensuring that the main issue had been grasped in a student being offended on account of a remark addressing religion and culture and who happened to be an Aboriginal person, upset that such opinion would be voiced against his tradition. From there, the significance of seeing the incident shared and discussed in a corrective manner, providing a lesson from the experience seemed the manner in which to diffuse the situation and to show the student that had voiced an unfair opinion that the atmosphere was not one that restricted his speech but asked him to reconsider an opinion in the light of its hurtfulness to others. As opposed to environments of old in which some students were silenced when expressing unwanted sentiment, this approach upheld the rights of the speaker to freedom of expression while showing plain respect for the point of view of the Aboriginal student."

In her evidence she said that from the age children enter school, they have a sense of right and wrong.?

Identity and Difference in the 21st Century, 2007.
This paper examines three articles on the dynamics and identities of the West and Islam in light of the rise of globalization.
991 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 35.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper compares and contrasts Stuart Hall's essays "The Global and the Local: Globalization and Ethnicity" and "Old and New Identities, Old and New Ethnicities" with Thomas Erikson's "How can the Global be Local? Islam, the West and the Globalization of Identity Politics". The paper argues that while all three essays are written from a left-liberal perspective, the critical difference between the two writers and their theoretical models lies in how radically the challenge of Islam to postmodernity has transformed our understanding of ethnic identity in a globalized context.
From the Paper
"In "The Global and the Local" and "Old and New Identities, Old and New Ethnicities" Stuart Hall argues strongly that the local identities that defined societies up to the 1990s were collapsing under the pressures of globalization and the pre-eminence of multiculturalism. Hall contends that the culture movements of the late 1990s were dominated by the cultural hybridity among the increasingly multicultural populations of the globalized world (Hall "Local and Global" 38-39). In "Old and New Identities, Old and New Ethnicities," Hall expands upon this concept in arguing that what he terms the "great collective social identities" may continue to exist but no longer define who we are - give us the "code of identity" in Hall's words - in the modern world (Hall "Old and New Identities" 45)."

Abstract
The novels ?The House on Mango Street? and ?Coming of Age in Mississippi? are two novels that are written by female novelists, Sandra Cisneros and Anne Moody, respectively. These two novels depict and discuss essentially the role of women as they live in the American society and as they interact with the opposite sex in their society. This paper discusses how gender difference and how being a woman had affected the main characters in the novel, the protagonists: Esperanza in Cisneros? novel, and Essie Mae in Moody?s ?Coming of Age.?
From the Paper
"The role of women in ?Coming of Age? by Anne Moody is depicted as both strong and helpless women. wo main characters in the novel are Essie Mae and her mother. Their struggle through poverty and helplessness because of their position as women in their family and society is the primary focus of Moody?s story. Essie Mae had experienced hardships when she was a child, and these sufferings are not only emotional in nature, but also physically and verbally. As a young child, her brother George Lee and her father abused her physically, verbally, and emotionally. One of her first encounter with abuse was with her brother George Lee. Left alone with the care of George Lee, Essie Mae became the subject of her brother?s anger and irritation over his being held responsible for his sister?s safety while their parents are away in the cotton plantation. Examples of such abuse are described by Essie Mae as the following: ?? everytime he got the itch to be in the woods, he?d beat me? [h]e hit me hard against the head; I started to boohoo as usual?[h]e knew I was so afraid of him? I was still crying so when he slapped me, knocking me clean off the porch?? Moody?s descriptions illustrate how, at such a young age, Essie Mae was already subjected to physical and emotional turmoil. These abuses are perpetuated with a continued helplessness on her part, since she?s still a young child then. In fact, despite her fear and the abuses George Lee subjects Essie Mae to, Essie Mae wanted to be with her brother in times of need and fear: ?I hoped George Lee would come even though I knew he would beat me.? Clearly, even youngsters in Moody?s novel had already played an essential role in the story, with the men (George Lee) subjecting his sisters to physical abuse, especially Essie Mae. Essie Mae?s father is also another character that had inflicted physical and emotional abuse to her, and this abuse happened when his father had wrongly accused Essie Mae of causing the fire in their house (which was actually George Lee?s own fault). Thus, in Moody?s novel, abuse inflicted to women is apparent, and for a helpless young child like Essie Mae, no solution can prevent these abuses from happening, especially if her father also subjects her mother to abuse."

Abstract
This paper assesses the hypothesis that gender difference contributes to attitudes towards learning. It looks at how learning styles inevitably play a vital part in this study as men and women tend to learn more effectively through various types of learning. It proposes a non-experimental study with a mixed opportunity sample of 30 male and female students, who were asked to complete a questionnaire. It concludes that females have a more positive attitude in reference to learning.

Discussion and Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are many theories upon the concept of learning, in terms of how and why a person learns. Learning is individual to a person, and the best style for that person is developed throughout years. Some have the natural ability to be able learn, take in and store information for a future purpose, and naturally learning will be of a more positive experience. Those, however, who lack this natural ability or the ability to want to learn may find the learning process tedious and thus research suggests that a persons learning style and ability is variable upon many factors. The concept of learning styles is rooted in the classification of psychological types."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Each of us has assumptions we make about the world, different cultures, societies, and our workplace, to name a few. There are certain things we are aware of that we have a personal or stake in, however, we may miss other important opportunities by being overly self-reflective. "Reframing, then, is a process of thorough, active, practical analysis and implementation of leadership theory" (Telford 15). It is the process of taking those assumptions and finding differences and opportunities that will actually make a significant difference. Taking those assumptions and reframing them is reflective, however, it is aimed outward and not solely toward the self. The 15% principle is part of this reframing method and represents the goal of making a major difference by at least 15%. It is a source of incremental, yet transformational change that can lead to new and exciting action opportunities."
