Abstract
John Searle developed the Chinese Room Argument to rebut an argument for the existence of strong artificial intelligence (AI). In turn, other people proposed arguments to rebut Searle's Chinese Room Argument. In this essay the Systems Reply to the Chinese Room Argument will be discussed, as it poses the strongest challenge to Searle's argument. However, as will be shown, the Reply fails. Searle's Chinese Room Argument is very strong, and it cannot be easily rebutted. Certainly, it is not rebutted by even the Systems Reply.

Abstract
This paper defines cultural competency in a manner that is specific to the unique environment of an Emergency Room. The paper contends that with the changing demographics of North American Emergency Room patients, physicians and nurses must be able to understand the normative values of each culture so that the patient remains as informed as possible despite obvious barriers.

From the Paper
"Contemporary healthcare workers are no longer faced with homogeneous patients from the same cultural background. Instead, with an increasingly diversifying population in North America, Emergency Rooms are being inundated with patients from a variety of cultural backgrounds."

Abstract
This paper proposes changing the way patient history and physicals are taken, by having emergency room nurses take them instead of floor nurses. The paper explains that there are long waits in the waiting room, patients often fall asleep before they reach the floor, while family members often go home because of the long wait. The paper describes the difficulty in getting information from either sleepy patients or those with dementia.

From the Paper
"The situation that I would like to change is that if a patient comes into the emergency room in the evening and then has to wait more than three hours to be seen, by the time they get up to the floor, they are often asleep. I would like to change the procedure so that if there is going to be a long wait in the emergency room, the ER nurse can fill out the history and physical paperwork on the patient while they are awake, and the..."

Abstract
The paper relates that John Searle developed his Chinese room argument in response to some of those who argue that strong artificial intelligence is possible. As will be shown, the Chinese room argument was a thought experiment that appeared to constitute a good argument against the possibility of strong artificial intelligence. The paper shows how it was a sufficiently good argument that many people have been provoked to present counter-arguments in an attempt to rebut Searle's argument. In the paper, the Systems Reply will be considered, as it is proposed that this is the strongest reply to date.

Abstract
This literary analysis details the feminist struggle of women like Virginia Woolf in the novel "A Room Of One's Own". The paper shows how the simile used in the passage analyzed reveals a female character that struggles against male sexism within the separatist milieu of men and women's colleges. The paper discusses how by providing a mythical of this woman as a 'fish' of great promise, Woolf invariable provides rhetorical logos that strategically attract the reader into seeing the value of women writers often put aside simply or rejected simply because of their sex.

Abstract
This paper considers the role and qualifications of the emergency room nurse, a practitioner with a particular role in the hospital setting and one who must meet certain qualifications in order to be effective. The paper discusses how Emergency Nursing is a specialty calling for nurses to care for patients in the emergency or in a critical phase of their illness or injury.

From the Paper
"The emergency room nurse is a practitioner with a particular role in the hospital setting and one who must meet certain qualifications in order to be effective. Emergency Nursing is a specialty calling for nurses to care for patients in the emergency or critical phase of their illness or injury. Such a nurse must be adept at "recognizing life-threatening problems, prioritizing the urgency of care, rapidly and effectively carrying out resuscitative measures and other treatment, acting with a high degree of autonomy and ability to initiate needed measures without outside direction, educating the patient and his family with the information and emotional support needed to preserve themselves as they..."

Abstract
The paper looks at James Baldwin's "Giovanni's Room", a novel that tackled issues which are still relevant in modern society. The paper addresses the issues of homosexuality, the place of women in the social order and the ability of the individual to have freedoms. The paper argues that although Baldwin was capable of presenting lives that were adversely affected by these issues, little has been done throughout history to alter the expectations that societal groups must live up to, or the fact that they must hide for fear of being shunned by others.

From the Paper
"In 1956, James Baldwin wrote "Giovanni's Room", a novel that tackled issues which are still relevant in modern society. Homosexuality, the place of women in the social order and the ability of the individual to have freedoms are all topics that Baldwin brought to the consciousness of his world. Yet, although Baldwin was capable of presenting lives that were adversely affected by these issues, little has been done throughout history to alter the expectations that societal groups must live up to, or the existence that they must hide for fear of being shunned by others. David was raised to believe that he was a descendent of Italians that..."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the characters within "A Room with a View" by E.M. Foster and "Jacob's Room" by Virginia Woolf. The characters Lucy and Jacob both represent two different classes of people in their contrast, but invariably present similar instances of independent lifestyles that stray from societal norms.

From the Paper
"In this literary study a character analysis in the novels A Room with A View by E.M. Foster and Jacob's Room by Virginian Woolf will be examined. The two characters Jacob and Lucy will be brought forth to reveal comparing and contrasting elements of class differentiation and their perceptions of life. While Jacob and Lucy both represent drastically different classes of people; they invariably reflect similar characteristics in how they achieve independence in their lives. In the novel Jacob's Room the main character Jacob represents a middle class individual who has a yearning desire to experience life. However, his middle class upbringing reveals the hardships of his life that he will ultimately face, especially due to his inexperience as a youth."

Abstract
When James Baldwin published his novel, "Giovanni's Room", in the 1950's, he was roundly criticized and judged for its then provocative images of homosexuality. This paper shows, however, that not all critics chastised Baldwin and describes some of the more positive reviews written about the novel. The paper then offers a critical perspective surrounding the time of publication of "Giovanni's Room" and examines James Baldwin within the context of the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements of the 1960s. This is followed by an examination of the metaphorical 'room' in the novel. The paper concludes with James Baldwin's views on homosexuality and his personal struggle with his own sexuality.

From the Paper
"It can be argued that David, a white bi-sexual in search of his true sexual identity, torn between a gay love for Giovanni and a heterosexual love for Hella his lady friend, is himself a symbol " through the novel " of the alienation black homosexuals felt in the American culture. As an expatriate, David is by definition a man without a country, an outcast (which, as explained above, a gay black man like James was in the black U.S. community); and here in Paris, at the beginning of the novel, he can deceive himself into thinking he is a man with some substance. He isn't a man of substance, because he is still in search of his own sexual identity, and he can't rid himself of a homoerotic, friendship with "Joey" from his childhood."
