Abstract
The status of women in Victorian society before World War I differed considerably from that of the decades following enfranchisement. In Victorian society, women were considered inferior to men but in later years, a new liberated woman evolved. This paper shows that in 1893, Bernard Shaw admitted in his play, "Mrs. Warren's Profession", that a new woman was already arriving, one who was determined to make a decent living without angling for a husband. The new woman could do so now because, at last, professional opportunities were becoming available to women. The paper shows how Shaw rethinks the Victorian notion of women by characterizing Vivie Warren in "Mrs. Warren's Profession" as a new, liberated woman who takes advantage of what society has to offer to her independence.
From the Paper
"Vivie's behavior as a new woman greatly unnerves those who expect traditional womanly behavior from her. She expresses herself in a very straightforward and unequivocal way instead of being more subtle and devious, as was expected of Victorian women. After offering Praed a bone-crunching handshake, Vivie tells him he is "just like what I expected," and that she hopes he is disposed to be friends with her. Praed's surprise and delight in Vivie's straightforward manner is apparent in his statement, "You modern young ladies are splendid: perfectly splendid!""

Abstract
This paper analyzes Shaws play from an historical and moral perspective. The title of the play refers to Mrs Warren's profession of prostitution. It explains that in the late 1800's when the play was first produced, there was a lot of outcry and calls for its censorship. The plot of the play is explained and examined for what could have been considered offensive in nature. The paper shows how morals have developed and progressed and why the play is no longer considered "shocking".
From the Paper
"From the time when it was written in 1893, George Bernard Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession was a problem for the playwright because of censorship. The profession alluded to in the title is prostitution, and Victorians did not like to admit publicly that such a thing existed, let alone allow a play to be performed in which the activity was in some sense celebrated. Modern reaction is very different from what Shaw's contemporaries would write when the play was finally performed in 1902. Early criticism focused more on the subject matter displayed than on the play as a piece of drama, while contemporary criticism turns this around and looks at the play as a play before considering any morality involved in talking about prostitution or treating it less than harshly."

Abstract
This paper reviews George Bernard Shaw's play "Mrs. Warren?s Profession" and discusses how Mrs. Warren?s secretive profession lies at the core of the relationship between Mrs. Warren and her daughter, Vivie. The income derived from her profession, running several bordello houses in continental Europe, takes Mrs. Warren physically away from her daughter but has allowed Mrs. Warren to provide Vivie with the lifestyle and education, which only people from the upper class can afford. It analyzes how Vivie's perception of her relationship with her mother may seem brutal, but truthful and how without experiencing the intimacy and love of a mother, the grown-up Vivie -- who is cynical of her relationship to her mother because the latter is a virtual stranger -- eventually sees that their only connection is monetary.
From the Paper
"In her proud and flaunting confession about her pseudo holiday in London to a total stranger (Shaw 38; Act I), Vivie demonstrates her audacity and complete lack of concern that she may be "caught" by her mother. On the other hand, Mrs. Warren is clueless to Vivie?s activities and interests. Vivie?s description of her holiday in London illustrates she is creating an existence of financial independence and passion for actuarial calculations, which is divorced from Mrs. Warren?s ideal conception of her daughter?s life. Although Mrs. Warren thinks her daughter is still dependent on her for her affluent lifestyle that includes sightseeing in London, Vivie "[has been] initiated into the business" of Chancery Lane and paid off her expenses. Ironically, Vivie?s "secret" project behind her mother?s back will become completely dwarfed by her mother?s greater life of secrecy."

Abstract
In the play, Shaw set out to challenge the satisfaction of his audience and weaken some of their most deep-rooted notions. He draws public attention to the truth that prostitution is caused, not by female depravation, but simply by underpaying, undervaluing, and overworking women, in a capitalist and chauvinist society. These controversies develop through the different characters particularly, and the theme is analysed in the relation between Vivie and her mother.
From the Paper
"Mrs Warren?s Profession, written by Bernard Shaw in the early nineteen hundreds, deals with a series of moral issues, which are of important relevance even now. Throughout the play, Bernard Shaw, proves to be an incisive and irreverent social citric, therefore being the antithesis of the romantic dramatist which characterized Victorian society. Shaw, uses the play to put forward his ideas and criticize social and moral issues existent at the beginning of the 20th century in British society, issues which ironically are still applicable in our supposedly developed world."

Abstract
"Mrs. Warren's Profession" by George Bernard Shaw is a play written in 1894. The roles that women play in this masterpiece show that Shaw was far ahead of his time in his thoughts about what women should do and be. The paper shows that in this work, Shaw presented a new vision of an intellectual, entrepreneurial woman and challenged the conventional roles imposed by society. He also included accounts of women victimized by a capitalist society and defended their rights to take whatever actions they had to in order to changer their circumstances even if that meant prostitution. The paper shows that in fact, Shaw?s beliefs are consistent with modern-day feminism with only one exception. Shaw seemed to fear that a woman?s independence and choice of a career had to come at the expense of something else, namely love and family. Nonetheless, ?Mrs. Warren?s Profession? is still revolutionary in comparison to the idealized Victorian version of what a woman should be.
From the Paper
"Shaw?s view that women must sacrifice love and relations with family members is the most disappointing aspect of his play. While the majority of his work represents a dramatic leap forward for women in the Victorian time, he hasn?t allowed for women to progress in their intellectual growth and entrepreneurship without a consequence. He seems to support their advancement, but is at the same time, afraid of it. This is apparent in Praed?s questions to Vivie, ?What happens to the world of chivalry, feeling, and beauty in the modern business world? Does practicality not appear more viable than romance in a world where sentiment has been reduced to sentimentality?? Regrettably, these concerns are still present in today?s society where it?s argued that a woman going to work will negatively impact the unity of the family and the nurturing of their children."

Abstract
George Bernard Shaw's play, "Mrs. Warren's Profession" is a comment on social hypocrisy, portrayed through the characters' struggles with contradictory social positions and moral conflicts. Vivie, Mrs. Warren's daughter, is expected to be indifferent towards the conflicts of morality, as she was raised to be a 'proper lady;' however, Vivie reveals herself to be cool, calculating and contemptuous of the pretences that are associated with the hypocrisy of being a 'proper lady'.

Abstract
The nursing profession is one of the oldest in history. However, many sociologists have argued that nursing should not be classified as a profession. This discussion provides an in-depth examination of the status of nursing as a profession. It compares the public image of nurses in relation to their professional status. It begins by providing a comprehensive definition of what it means to be a nurse, followed by a definition of what is means to be a professional.
From the Paper
"Nursing is one of the world's oldest known "professions" that has been continuously and slowly evolving over time. It has its roots based in the cultural and religious practices of bygone eras and is viewed by most as being based on the caring, compassionate and moral nature of females within its society. However, history shows that this is not entirely accurate, that prior to Florence Nightingale, mid-nineteenth century, there was a definite lack of care, that nurses where often callous and cruel, displaying little respect to the rights and dignity of their patients. (Bradshaw, A. 1997, Chapter 2)."

Abstract
This paper provides an informative research on medical dominance over the profession of nursing in Australia. It presents information from articles and research on medical dominance in nursing, as well as the advantages and disadvantages it brings. In contrast, the challenges brought by nursing to medical dominance are also discussed in this paper. In the term "medical dominance", ?medical?, in this paper, particularly refers to doctors. The issue of medical dominance in nursing generally suggests the question, ?What sets apart doctors and nurses?? Along the process of providing information in our research, this paper answers this question.
From the Paper
"This reflects that while doctors and other types of health care profession both function for the purpose of providing health care services, Faraizi suggests that the term ?medical professionals? is generally associated to doctors, and that other form of health care profession is still of ?semi-professional? status. One element suggested to be the cause of doctors? dominance in the professional field of medicine is ?the degree of specialized knowledge they have and the ultimate degree of power and control that can be exercised through the application of this knowledge.? (Faraizi, Professionalism and Health Care)."

Abstract
This essay discusses the legal system in the United Kingdom. It mainly focuses on the difference between barristers and solicitors. It defines the two and gives the names of the courts where each practice. Furthermore, it discusses the push to fuse the two together as it is in the United States, telling the reader the role the Lord Chancellor has played in moving the two professions into one.
From the Paper
"In the United States, attorneys provide legal counsel for those who seek it throughout all stages of the legal system. In the United Kingdom, however, what we consider attorneys are divided into two categories, barristers and solicitors. The two branches of the legal profession, although both doing work that American attorneys would do, serve different functions in the legal system of the United Kingdom. This paper will be used to examine the structure of the legal system in the United Kingdom, stating the differences between barristers and solicitors. Furthermore, I will give an opinion as to whether the legal system of the United Kingdom should be fused into one or left as two distinct professions; I will also state what the Lord Chancellor has done to promote more similarity and overlap between the barrister and solicitor professions."

Abstract
The paper explains why advocacy is so vital for the counselling profession and illustrates this by listing effects that will arise if there is a lack of it, for example, there will be a reduction in effectiveness in the practice of the counselor and problems in the personal life of the individual. The paper explains the Masters-Level Counselor Education Program and how it may incorporate advocacy training into its curriculum and extra-curricular activities. The writer concludes that the counseling profession needs a more structured curriculum focused towards the establishment of a framework that integrates all aspects of the profession into one uniform standard for all to base their practice on.
Contents:
Objective
The Need for Advocacy
Consequences of Insufficient Advocacy for the Counseling Profession
Masters-Level Counselor Education Program
Summary
From the Paper
"The need for advocacy cannot be understated in relation to the provisions of such to the counseling profession. The stress that is inherent to this profession has many complicating factors when the factors and elements of the individual life and indeed the world at large are factored into the subject at hand. Stated in the work entitled: "Advocacy for Counseling and Counselors: A Professional Imperative" by Lee (1998) is that the definition of advocacy is defined as "the process or act of arguing or pleading for a cause or proposal (p.8). Within this context he recommended that counselors become agents of social change, intervening not just in the lives of their clients but in the world around them as well. It is a necessity that this type of advocacy be applied among professional counselors as a service to one another in combating the specific factors professional counselors may be subject to due to the nature of their work."

Women in the Australian Legal Profession, 2007.

Abstract
This paper begins with a brief discussion of the background of women's entry into the legal profession, before taking in turn the main arguments presented by feminists and human and social capital theorists. Through this analysis, this paper argues that, whilst the feminist claim of institutionalised sexism does hold authority in its argument, it is not the only explanation. The writer maintains that human and social capital theories also offer explanations of contributing factors to explain the disparity between men and women in the legal profession. The writer concludes that whilst this paper finds that the feminist argument is generally supported by empirical data, it should not be taken as a clear indication of institutionalised sexism. Rather, the writer maintains that it appears that other explanations, such as those proffered by human capital and social capital theories, also contribute to explaining the marked differences between males and females in the profession.
From the Paper
"The legal profession is almost infamous for its culture of employing white, middle class men. As a traditionally male-dominated field, some branches of feminism suggest that the legal profession of today still embodies these historical roots of institutionalised sexism. It is argued by these feminists that discrimination against females is reflected in statistics detailing female career pathways, income inequalities, and workplace sexual harassment and discrimination. Conversely, supporters of human and social capital models use the same statistics to argue that sex differences in the legal profession are explained not by discrimination, but by factors including poor female academic rates, family commitments, and weak dedication to the profession."

The British Accountancy Profession, 2008.
A discussion of the recent diversification and expansion of the accounting profession in Britain.

Abstract
This paper examines the changing nature of the accountancy profession in Britain. It explains how, traditionally, the accounting profession has been seen as a functionary occupation, reserved for mathematical grunt-work, with its output serving as indicative of performance rather than incursive upon it. The paper claims that over the past few years, however, the role of accounting professionals has both diversified and expanded considerably, with practitioners in this field coming to serve as primary decision-makers and organizational visionaries in their own right. This serves as a testament to the crucial contribution of accountancy-derived economic insight in the determination of sensible and profitable business decisions. The paper concludes that, in contexts such as Great Britain, where corporate development and economic stakes are both at a very high level, the profession of accounting is best defined by the host of changes which are seizing the practice.
From the Paper
"In close consort with the British government, many of Britain's leading firms are taking part in the effort to develop a set of standards for corporate auditing which are consistent across national and continental borders. Certainly, one of the leading catalysts to the dearth of needed oversight in recent years has been the increased globalization of corporate trade, retail production and service staffing. Mechanisms of corporate auditing have largely failed to remain abreast of the radical changes in the orientation of the British economy. As it has become more necessarily opened to the interests of the European Union, it has only now begun to acclimate to an accounting culture which is prepared to absorb such changes."

WWII and the Nursing Profession, 2004.
An examination of the effect that WWII and Pearl Harbor had on the nursing profession.

Abstract
The attack on Pearl Harbor and the United States? involvement in World War II changed the face of women in society, and the nursing profession, in particular, forever. This paper explains that women were recognized as having just as vital a role to play in their nation?s defense as the men, and as a result, nursing was taken quite seriously as a profession. It shows how standards were implemented with regards to expectation and training, and nurses were trained to be pseudo-doctors, performing many of the same tasks as did the male doctors with whom they worked. It concludes that, as a result, society had a more enhanced perception of nursing as a valued profession because of these women?s actions during the aftermath of Pearl Harbor and during the war.
From the Paper
"The events of Pearl Harbor and other events during the course of World War II played a large role in helping to change the country?s perception of nurses. These dedicated women were now taken more seriously and, as a result, the environment in which nurses learned and worked changed. At the time Pearl Harbor was attacked, the United States was facing a serious shortage of nurses. President Franklin Roosevelt issued a call for more nurses, and the military, in an effort to help fulfill the country?s need, responded by offering programs designed to induce women to join the military and become nurses. One of the most successful programs, although not a military program per se, was the United States Cadet Nurse Corps. From here, women often went on to join the military as nurses and served with great distinction."

Abstract
This paper explains that the aging population has caused a crisis in the healthcare profession and that society needs more nurses. After reviewing the current state of the nursing in the United States, the writer argues that one way to increase the population of nurses is to increase the number of men in the profession.
From the Paper
"Nursing is a vocation as well as a profession, and it would be tragic if men who felt the 'calling' eschewed entering nursing as a profession because it was perceived as a female-only employment. Also, as nurses often present the human face of the medical profession to patients, and that face should resemble the patient not simply in race or ethnicity, but also of gender. Consider the psychological as well as physical state of a young boy who was unable to save his sister in a car crash they were both involved in, even after his father said he was in charge of her 'like a little man'-would not a male nurse be more ideally equipped to deal with the ensuing confusion faced by this young, male child?"

Abstract
This paper explains that the 1990s saw a significant fall in the attractiveness of the accounting profession among students as noted by a 25% drop in accounting degrees in just 4 years from 1996 to 2001 in the United States. The author points out one of the reasons for this decline is that the educational model for accounting professionals had not been able to cope effectively with the rapidly changing business environment. The paper relates that stricter auditing and accounting rules in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the high expectations of the corporate stakeholders about fraud detection have forced the CPAs to make the required adjustments in the educational model, examination, and training of accountants.
Table of Contents
Downturn in the Accounting Profession
Effect of the Business Scandals
Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Its Effect on CPAs
Restoring Their Image
Focus on Ethical Issue
Revival of the Auditing Function
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the 1990s, the accounting profession had de-emphasized the audit function in favor of accounting services to a large extent. This trend has reversed in the changed regulatory environment as more people than ever before now expect CPAs to detect and report fraud while reviewing financial statements. Although performing the role of the industry?s watchdogs is a challenging task, the CPAs and their professional associations seem to be aware of the requirements and are taking the necessary steps for upgrading of the accountants? auditing skills."
