From the Paper "Judo can be used effectively with children who have emotional, developmental and behavioral problems because they learn the power of concentration. The program should be expanded over the Toronto area as a teaching strategy for such children. Mannion (5) states that "the kicks, stances, punches and grappling of martial arts are a good way for children with behavioral problems to channel their aggression". At the same time, judo is not about the external so that teachers need to ensure that students are internalizing the lessons."

The paper also examines the emotional effects of the tsunami, it describes the tragedy for the population and the extents of the catastrophe.
Abstract This paper defines the word "tsunami" and discusses the world wide interest in formulating an early warning system to prevent tidal waves such as that which occurred in previous years, from ever occurring again. The paper discusses various ideas and plans to install such systems and comments on their efficacy. It also discusses a proposed study, which seeks to identify the most effective method of coordinating and implementing a comprehensive integration of public and private services to provide the people of Thailand with a tsunami early warning system.

From the Paper "A critical review of the relevant peer-reviewed, scholarly and organizational literature will be used to provide the background described above, as well as to identify any gaps in the existing tsunami warning system that are specifically relevant to Thailand's case. In this regard, Fraekel and Wallen (2001) emphasize that, "Both the opinions of experts in the field and other research studies are of interest. Such reading is referred to as a review of the literature" (p. 48). Likewise, Gratton and Jones (2003) note that a critical reviewing of the relevant literature is an important part of almost any type of research endeavor: "No matter how original you think the research question may be," they point out, "it is almost certain that your work will be building on the work of others."
Abstract This paper relates that the policy mandates of rebuilding efforts, proper financial monitoring in accounting practices for charitable organizations and disease control are the most important aspects of relief for tsunami relief efforts. The author points out that, by building homes cheaply yet with a solid foundation, there can be shelter for the homeless. The paper stresses that the proper control of donated money needs to be addressed through ethical accounting practices and making sure the money t gets to relief sites across India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka.
From the Paper "This international policy analysis will reflect the goals of for disaster relief that should be implemented to help the thousands of people who perished in the tsunami. By analyzing rebuilding efforts, financial cost evaluation for relief, and the serious health issues that have arisen since the tsunami are the main goals to attend to at this critical point. In realizing how money is being spent for the relief of people stricken by the tsunami, one can develop policy suggestions that will help rebuild the nations destroyed in this natural disaster."
Abstract This paper discusses the problem of corrupted funds in relation the tsunami relief and discusses the ethics and consumer awareness of how money is spent. It argues that people should investigate the organizations they are giving money to, and they should be wary of secretive organizations that do not disclose or audit their records.
From the Paper " Jon Doe is a good citizen who truly has seen the disaster left behind by the massive tsunami that occurred over in Malaysia. The funny thing is, he cannot be convinced to send money to organizations that might be fraudulent or corrupt in how they use this money. The ultimate question is: Will these so-called "non-profit organizations" use the money I give for the survivors", or will it end up as a contributing factor to the six digit salary of some corrupt official within the non-profit organization? (Doe, Personal Interview, June 5, 2-005). John Doe is a concerned citizen who wants to put the money for tsunami relief in the right hands, and not some crook out to make a profit at the expense of the victims of this natural disaster. "
Examines how, when interpreted through the lens of Tantric Buddhism, the movie, "Fight Club," can be seen as the depiction of the path to enlightenment sought by Buddhists.
Abstract By applying a framework of Tantric Buddhism, the film, "Fight Club," can be interpreted as a modern-day story of the path to spiritual enlightenment. This interpretation gives the film a deeper underlying meaning that builds on and complements the surface interpretation of social commentary on Western consumerist culture. This paper shows that, with a Tantric Buddhist interpretation, "Fight Club" can be understood as a somewhat realistic portrayal of how a person caught up in samsara via Western consumerist culture can have a spiritual awakening leading to enlightenment, instead of simply being seen as an outlandish piece of fiction.
From the Paper "Tantric Buddhism differs from orthodox or Mahayana Buddhism by its assertion that "enlightenment could be attained by means of the things of this world itself [...] involvement in some of the most impure forms of samsara - meat eating, wine drinking, sex." 2 This is the key to an interpretation of the film within a religious framework, because the two protagonists - Tyler Durden and the unnamed narrator - engage in many activities that would be seen as "impure" by traditional Buddhist standards, yet the narrator achieves a sort of enlightenment from his mindless corporate job and consumerist tendencies when led to these activities by Tyler."

From the Paper "Wal-Mart and the establishment of Sam's Club Warehouse outlets in Toronto and throughout Canada: What it means for the world's largest retailer."
Abstract This paper examines The movie "The Fight Club" in philosophical terms as well as comparing it to Buddhism and its contemporary, "The Matrix." It claims that this movie almost became a sort of cult and that the message portrayed enchanted the masses, especially men.
From the Paper "Not only is the 1999 film Fight Club a story about a man trying to find meaning in his life but one that is becoming so widely known and celebrated (at least by men) that it can be twisted into the shape of a myth. Much the way that Ovid and Homer borrow from archetypes and earlier stories, Fight Club has roots in other contemporary movies, Buddhism and existential writings of Camus and Sartre, but uses those ideals in a new way while commenting on contemporary American society. With these sources, many of which are from decades and even centuries ago, Fight Club weaves their influences into a modern myth and remarkably, one that relates to the majority of Americans."
Abstract This paper takes a look at each individual character and their backgrounds in "The Breakfast Club". It examines how they communicate with one another and then finally analyzes their progression from a non-functional group to a working team.
From the Paper "Communication can be expressed in many forms between all sorts and types of people. "The Breakfast Club"(1985, Hughes) is a great movie that displays numberous types of communication between five high school students. All five students are in the library for Saturday detension, all for different reasons, and each student is very different from the next. The five pupils in the library are almost a representative from each clique in the high school. There was the brain Brian Johson, the criminal John Bender, the athlete Andrew Clark, the princess Clare, and the basket case Alicen, they all differ greatly from eachother which creates a unique atmosphere for communication between them. One can see the development of the communication through out the day, as it starts off with non-verbal communication then moves toward to interpersonal then intrapersonal communication and soon progresses into a functional group that understands and accepts one another."

Abstract This paper explores the models of male emotion and expressions of aggression as seen in Chuck Palahniuk's book "Fight Club." The review focuses on Palahniuk's thesis that male aggression should be channeled into competitiveness in the workplace. The paper further examines the "rules" as expressed in the book and concepts of masculinity. The review uses quotes from the book to support he various examples.
From the Paper "No matter what the rules are throughout the ages, men are always expected to temper their feelings and as what Kimmel said "channel then into workplace competition." But what is a workplace? Is it a blue-collar, white-collar or gray-collar environment? Is it a place where you earn money? "Fight Club" showed a variety of workplace and the "fight club" itself puts you to work despite broken bones and torn flesh. Men are always required to put on the manly face, to "grin and bear it" and stand up straight and be proud. Despite "What you see at fight club is a generation of men raised by women" there are still expectations of hardness and viciousness in men - but afterwards they can go home to the warmth of a women's tender embrace."
