Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the work-oriented culture of today's society has increased the prevalence of office romances. Long hours spent together at the workplace, exacerbated by the lack of time to spend on outside activities, often serve as a springboard for these types of relationships. However, the writer points out that with these relationships come certain liabilities for the associated employer. The writer discusses that forbidding fraternization between employees raises questions of discrimination as well as privacy issues. The writer then looks at the issue of possible no dating policies in the workplace. The writer concludes that the most moral solution would be one that is able to give employers protection against the risks they face with employee dating, while also allowing employees the freedom to live their lives outside the workplace.

From the Paper
"As noted earlier, there are significant downside risks for employers who have employees involved in inter-office relationships. Increased incidence of co-worker complaints of favoritism and the resultant negative effect on the team atmosphere and productivity coupled with possible reduced productivity from the employees involved are all significant concerns for an organization. In today's hyper-competitive, increasingly globalized world, these factors could significantly impact a company's bottom line with reduced competitiveness in their industry."
"In addition, allowing employee dating opens the organization up to an increased chance of sexual harassment lawsuits."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the work-oriented culture of today's society has increased the prevalence of office romances. The writer points out that long hours spent together at the workplace, exacerbated by the lack of time to spend on outside activities, often serve as a springboard for these types of relationships. However, the writer discusses that with these relationships come certain liabilities for the associated employer. The writer writer then looks at the question of whether it is morally acceptable for an employer to make rules against dating in the workplace.

From the Paper
"According to a survey conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management, 28 percent of office relationships result in complaints from coworkers of favoritism. Twenty-four percent result in sexual harassment claims. And, 24 percent result in decreased productivity for the employees involved in the relationship. However, forbidding fraternization between employees raises questions of discrimination as well as privacy issues."

Abstract
The paper explores the topic of interpersonal relationships in the workplace. The writer explains that the fundamental complication that arises from the issue of workplace relationships is a general conflict of interest between the demands of the employer and the personal demands of the employee. The paper examines how the overall effectiveness of the workplace is not as significant a concern for the employees as their own well-being. The paper discusses how employers have a vested interest in bringing together workable regulations for dealing with workplace relationships. The writer concludes that if society is at all a reflection of moral principles, then the principle that productivity comes before privacy is a difficult philosophical proposition.

From the Paper
"The deontological perspective, on the other hand, is slightly more straightforward. A deontologist usually measures right and wrong actions along similar lines as utilitarians, but with one major exception: deontologists believe that there are some actions that are intrinsically good and some that are intrinsically evil. So, a deontologist believes that certain actions simply cannot be done--like murder--completely irrespective of the possible increase in utility."

Abstract
The paper introduces archaeology, and explains that the concept of dating is central to the science of archaeology. Two broad categories of dating, relative and absolute, are introduced, and four major specific types of dating are presented to the reader; stratigraphy, dendrochronology, obsidian hydration dating, and radiocarbon dating. Each of the four methods are discussed in great detail, each with a closing paragraph devoted to the underlying problems with that particular method. For example, the section on stratigraphy begins with a brief history of the method itself, and introduces such concepts as the law of superposition, temporal sequences of data within stratified deposits, context evaluation, and determining age through the relative position of superimposed artifacts. The negatives of stratigraphy are then discussed, and include deformation, overlapping and reverse stratigraphy, and the method is evaluated on the whole. This format is then applied to the other three types of dating discussed. Finally, a concluding paragraph states that although the four types of dating discussed are infinitely valuable to archaeologists all over the world, there are still problems associated with each that need to be accounted for when using them to address the age of fossilized remains and other artifacts.

From the Paper
"Archaeology is the study of past human cultures, and archaeologists must uncover and interpret material remains in order to reconstruct past ways of life. To understand the purposes of these remains, Archaeologists have the task of constructing a chronology of prehistory, using various dating methods. "Without knowing the age of materials, little can be said about the activity that made them part of the site (David L. Webster, Susan Toby Evans & William T. Sanders, 1993: 128)." Dating is defined as the placement in time of events relative to one another or to any established scale of temporal measurement (Jeffrey S. Dean, 1981: 375). Dating methods used by Archaeologist incorporate the scientific method and have the advantages of objectification, application to isolated cultural sequences, and an expanded span of human prehistory for which an absolute chronology can be built (Keith Brannigan, 1974: 100-101). Scientific methods of dating are invaluable for the prehistoric periods and have revolutionized the archaeologists' ideas about the absolute chronology of the prehistoric culture sequence (Brannigan, 1974: 101), yet each of these scientific methods has many difficulties. Dating techniques fall into two categories relative and absolute and include the following: seriation, ceramic dating, potassium argon dating, thermoluminescence dating, archaeomagnetic dating, fission track dating, stratigraphy, dendrochronology, obsidian hydration dating, and radiocarbon dating. This paper will discuss the latter four methods, with an emphasis on the shortcomings of each."

Abstract
This paper examines aggressive sexual behavior as it occurs in dating situations among young adults. The author presents salient statistics showing how widespread this problem is. The paper further describes the combinations of interactions in which dating violence may happen. The paper discusses dating violence toward boys, as well as girls.

Outline:
Dating Violence and Its Prevalence
Dating and Dating Violence, Sexual in Nature
Men Upset more by Sexual infidelity; Women, by Emotional Infidelity
Young Women at a Greater Risk of Victimization
A Most Fatal Consequence: STDs
But Boys Get Victimized, Too

From the Paper
" There is a difference in the motivation for aggression between the genders. Evolutionary psychology has argued that men are more upset by their partner's sexual infidelity than women are but that women are more upset by their partner's emotional infidelity than are men (Forbes 2005). It identified jealousy as the proximal cause of relationship violence. It would, then, expect men to engage in more frequent and severe relationship violence in response to sexual infidelity than to emotional infidelity. In contract, women would resort to more frequent and severe relationship violence on account of emotional infidelity (Forbes et al)."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss and analyze business ethics in the workplace. Specifically, it identifies a basic physical privacy right issue at Harrah's casino in Reno, Nevada. In July 2001, a Reno bartender filed suit against Harrah's, Inc., the worldwide casino gaming corporation, after she was fired from her bartending job. Darlene Jespersen had worked for Harrah's for twenty-one years as a bartender and in other areas of the casino for not complying to new dress rules. It discusses how the Jespersen case is a clear physical privacy rights issue and contends that individual should not give up the rights and ethics they believe in just so they can be employed.

From the Paper
"Jespersen's position is based on the deontological considerations that a business should take into consideration regarding employee rights. Morally, it is wrong to force an employee to do something they morally or ethically disagree with, especially after the company hired the employee. If a policy changes, there should be consideration for employees who have been employed for years and may not "fit" with the current policy. As Jespersen emotionally noted, the company could have grandfathered her non-adherence to the program before they took the step of firing her. That would have been the moral and ethical thing to do for a long-time employee. However, that was not an option, and it points to the rigidity of the corporation and its rules."

Abstract
The paper discusses how nonverbal communication is used, whether consciously or otherwise, by dating couples within their developing relationship and such communication can include touching, facial expressions, and eye contact. The paper shows how escalating a dating relationship to a sexual one not only involves verbal cues, but successful nonverbal communication as well. However, the paper argues that the nature of a relationship must be assessed as well, and can be determined via nonverbal communication cues. The paper then discusses how over sixty heterosexual couples in 1998 completed questionnaires and were videotaped discussing the positive aspects of their dating relationship and it was observed that those who were secure in their relationship were associated with nonverbal closeness, such as "laughing, touching, gazing and smiling during the interaction" (Anders 121). "

Abstract
This is an anthropological paper rooted in discussions with university students of different East Asian origins, mainly in Toronto. The paper refers to literature that tends to criticize cultural conflicts and those of generations, whereas students appreciate some aspects of their families of origin and note how Toronto offers many choices due to large, well-established East Asian communities. The writer points out that students were more inclined to joke about tradition and parents' ideas, than to complain about them. The writer also discusses dating, a 20th century phenomenon in East Cultures, that takes on forms of its own and can be superior to other social life for students.

From the Paper
"For a Canadian post-secondary student of East Asian origin this paper was interesting to research. It is clear that young people of East Asian heritage gain other views of proper social life than in the day of their parents or grandparents. The 20th century saw the creation of a new courtship in East Asian countries and cultures as explained in Kendall's study of Korean cultural change. If one sees a broader world of Chinese-influenced cultures that are very old, it is predictable that some ideas linger and students who contributed to this paper did not see them as binding or `bad'."

Abstract
This paper discusses online dating websites and addresses the frequently asked question of "Do these websites have a negative impact on their users?" Some research studies have shown that such websites cause individuals to withdraw from their lives off-line and isolate them from family and friends. Other research argues that online communities simply expand the social arena available to individuals. This paper examines the research on both sides of the argument.

From the Paper
"The reach and interactivity of the Internet has allowed websites that bring people together to flourish. Online dating and match-making services have become highly lucrative businesses. But have these online dating communities come at the cost of true, old-fashioned human interaction? Does the Internet isolate individuals from their "real-life" communities, or does it simply expand our ideas about what a community really is?"
