Abstract
A look at the depiction of human fetish and desire in the making of video art and video pornography. The author argues that the depiction of erotica, pleasure and satisfaction are equally revealed in both types of film making, making the fine line between the two types of styles hard to discern. The author argues that both approaches are valued as forms of entertainment. The author supports this argument by referring to similarities in aspects such as: mechanical reproduction and mass consumption of the creative works.
From the Paper
"Human fetish and desire are very powerful forces behind video art and pornography. Our need for pleasure and expression leads us to all sorts of ends for personal achievement and satisfaction. Erotica and pornography have rich roots in video art. With the emergence of video came the rise in popularity of video pornography. The historical development of video art and video pornography share obvious technological similarities. Ironically these forms of arts and entertainment do not only hold technological similarities but remarkable parallels in the work that was being produced. In this paper I will further blur the fine and almost invisible line between video art and video pornography. This blurring will show that video art and video pornography are equal in their value as products of arts and entertainment."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"On the other hand, researchers have revealed that employers and employees mutually observe non-work-related utilization of the Internet and e-mail as suitable, albeit, in their shared observation, such utilization might hold back the productivity of the employees. As a common concern, most workers consider that some personal Internet or e-mail utilization at work is tolerable and that employers should not have the jurisdiction to observe what e-mails employees are sending and receiving or what sites they are visiting."

From the Paper
"Developing globalization and severe competition demonstrate and emphasize the need for alternative methods of communication in the world of today. It is true that, as far as the dynamics of business are concerned, there have not been many changes, but the demand for a less expensive means of communication than face-to-face meetings is what has brought about a varied number of new methods and techniques of communication, some of these being video conferencing including video and text chatting, web conferencing, and web presentations and collaborations. These modern means of communication involve an increased accuracy and also a faster speed and freedom from any unwonted communication mistakes."

Abstract
This paper discusses conferencing in the restorative justice model, one particular approach to restorative justice, one that involves several different interested parties in a meeting in which the offense is examined and ways of redressing the injury are raised and discussed before a decision is made. According to this paper, conferencing has particular application for juvenile offenders and brings them together with their victims and their own families and often with other members of the community.
From the Paper
"Conferencing stands as one particular approach to restorative justice, one that involves several different interested parties in a meeting in which the offense is examined and ways of redressing the injury are raised and discussed before a decision is made. Conferencing has particular application for juvenile offenders and brings them together with their victims and their own families and often with other members of the community. The goal is to examine the issues involved in a particular case and to determine how to achieve restoration and what to impose as punishment. Restorative conferencing is representative of the restorative justice paradigm, giving the offender the opportunity to make up for the offense, the victim to express his or her anger and to show the damage done, and the community to see that the process if working and that the decision is just."

Abstract
For many, automated teller machines (ATMs) are simply a way of life. There were introduced nearly 20 years ago and today, many bank customers never go into a branch after opening their account. But today's ATM cards can also be used to make purchases at retail outlets and even on the World Wide Web, another innovation which was not envisioned 20 years ago. The videophone has become video conferencing, and cameras which use film may be made obsolete by cameras which use a floppy disk for recording images. Electronic pagers, once the purview of doctors and others who needed to be notified in case of emergencies, have now become commonplace and are used to summon diners to their table.

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of technology implementation in the United States military. It discusses the objectives of the U.S. Army's Science and Technology (S&T) strategy. It particularly discusses the importance of maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the command, control, communications and computers (C4). The paper then discusses a major technology implementation that improved the writer's unit core competency - the installation and operation of a video teleconferencing (VTC) system.
From the Paper
"The use of VTC vastly improved the C4 capabilities of the United States Army and the American military force in general. Like any technology implementation plan, Army Science and Technology Master Plan (ASTMP) made certain that the needs and requirement of today's military force will enable them to fulfill their mission. Especially in my unit, VTC is a welcome technology since I and any member of my unit can talk to individual commanders and soldiers regarding their deployments and contracts while in-theater. By having a detailed technology plan and also a detailed implementation plan, the United States Army prove that the chosen technology - such as the VTC - proved the concept, defined the combat developments process, and provided the acquisition community with evidence of technology's readiness to satisfy system requirements (Department of the Army, 2007)" Eventually, the United States Army's technology implementation and operations plan may enable the use of VTC technology not only at the unit level but to individual soldiers in the field."

Gender Transgression and Video Game Culture, 2007.
An examination of gender transgression - specifically, the violation of traditional gender roles by females - in video games and video game culture.
2,312 words (approx. 9.2 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that video games represent a site for role-playing in ways that violate both the corporate-constructed gender roles of game worlds, as well as the norms of masculine and feminine in our society. The writer discusses how this analysis applies to a range of levels in video game culture: the design level with its sub-culture of game patch design where users patch existing video games to fundamentally re-design game worlds that reflect distinct constructions of masculinity and femininity and the game play level where both female and male users play games in ways that challenge normative gender roles. The writer's main focus is on female game designers and players, whose interactions with video game culture critically undermines common conceptions of female gender identity.

Gender Bias as a Methodological Problem
Women Coding Women: The New Gaming Female
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In reviewing the scholarly literature upon gender roles and video game culture, it is important to recognize the operation of gender bias as a methodological problem. Before one can address the subject of video game and gender role transgression among females, one must note the profound degree to which traditional gender biases appear to impact scholarship on the subject of video game culture. Consider, for example, the question of the popularity of video games among males versus females, as well as the view that males prefer "violent" games while female players tend to reject these games for games that better reflect "feminine" qualities. There is a substantial body of research literature that has argued since the late 1980s that video games are a predominantly male cultural preoccupation. Surveys tended to reveal an extraordinary disproportion both in terms of numbers of players and the lengths of time devoted to gameplay. For example, adolescent boys have been shown to be as much as three times more likely to play video games as adolescent girls."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that at the time video-gaming entered society, no one could have guessed the manner in which video gaming would integrate into all aspects of today's world as much as it has. The writer points out that video gaming has been studied and been shown to have both positive and negative effects upon those who play video games. The writer researches the history, advances, concerns and future of video gaming, citing scholarly sources in the research. The writer concludes that video-gaming started out as simply a recreational past-time, but it is presently being used for training employees such as for instruction within the educational sector and for the creation of real-life or simulated activities in the science sector.

Summary & Conclusion
From the Paper
"Other recent research reported is that of the studies, three in number that were set for release in January by Anderson, Gentile & Buckley. These three studies include a correlational study, an experimental study and a longitudinal study (the first) with children. The experimental study consisted of 161 9-12 year old and 354 college aged students playing violent and non-violent video games. Findings state that violent games increased the aggressive behavior of both groups. The correlational study was conducted by surveying 189 high school students stating findings that those who engaged in games that are more violent also engaged in more behaviors that are violent. The longitudinal study was conducted over the period of a school year and state findings that the children who were witnessed to have increased their aggression were the same children who played more violent video games over the course of the school year."

Abstract
This paper explains that the censoring of music videos is similar to tactics with movies and video games that failed. The paper points out the reasons for this failure are the same for music videos: Freedom of speech, the questionable validity of studies that warn about harmful affects of violence and sexual content on children and the responsibility of parents versus store owners in supervising youth?s actions. The author believes that this indeed makes the United States a better country for everyone.
From the Paper
"Naturally, those who take the other point of view can point to their own studies, which say that music videos alter sexual views. However, where such studies fall short is that they cannot be conducted in a vacuum. Today's kids are assailed with sexual imagery -- in magazines, ads, movie trailers, and posters. At home, more than half of all television programs -- 56 percent -- contain some sexual material, according to a recent study by the Parents Television Council, a nonpartisan advocacy group. In the last decade, the frequency of sexual interactions more than tripled during primetime viewing hours."

Video Games and Aggression, 2004.
This paper is a research proposal to test the relations of video games and childhood aggression.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper relates that the General Affective Aggression Model (GAAM) is one of the leading theories in the field of aggression, which argues that exposure to violent video games can increase short-term aggression (20 minutes following exposure to a video game) over long periods of time. The author states that the experimental hypothesis is that children who play violent video games are more likely to be more aggressive on the playground. The paper describes a research design with three experimental groups consisting of randomly selected 8 to 10-year-old boys and girls. The experimental group plays a violent video game (e.g., Kung Fu), one control group plays a non-violent video game (e.g., Ms. Pac Man) and another control group will consist of children that did not play a video game.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Certainly, the literature available notes several limitations on this type of study. One important constraint is that this experimental design does not allow researchers to determine the effect of video game violence in a 'real' or 'playful environment. Goldstein notes that voluntary exposure to violent video games may have a different effect than enforced exposure on aggression. In the lab, video games are not entered into in a playful frame of mind, as they are in the 'real' world. However, the need for a controlled, experimental situation in this experiment makes such a distinction difficult."
