These alternative methods incorporate advanced technologies that allow the public to obtain information through diverse media.

| 297 | In The Womb
The National Geographic Video, "In the Womb" makes use of 3-dimensional and 4-dimensional sonar technology to depict a baby's development in its mother's womb. It depicts the development from a collection of cells, to a fully formed baby in the last months of pregnancy. Inside its mother's womb, the baby is shown in real time, making movements such as sucking its thumb, smiling, blinking, and making finger m
| 331 | Financial Statement Analysis of Bank of America and Wachovia
Bank of America presents its income statement first among its financial statements, and this shows a healthy increase in net income of 18 percent from 2004 to 2005, and nearly 30 percent from 2003 to 2004. Although interest income increased more than 36 percent from 2004 to 2005, the institution's interest expense increased nearly 86 percent. This indicates that the company is facing costs that significantly outpace its revenue. It is important to note that the company is restating its financial statements for 2004 and 2003 due to inconsistencies with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards and the way that the company accounted for its derivatives, particularly with regard to interest rate swaps. While these can be useful instr
| 933 | Analysis of "The Story of an Hour": Examine the Conflict of the Story
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the short story "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin. Specifically, it will examine the conflict of the story, and how society makes the protagonist, Mrs. Louise Mallard, a victim. Author Kate Chopin wrote this short story in 1894, and it represents how women were treated by society at the time. The conflict in the story is the way Mrs. Mallard reacts to the news of her husband's death. It is clear she feels as if a burden has been taken away from her, and that she finally can enjoy her life. Her unhappy marriage is the conflict in the story, and it is the ultimate unhappy ending when her husband comes home unharmed and she dies.
This short story has much conflict, eve
| 1411 | Historical Developments in Nursing
Nursing research and nursing research utilization-A historical overview
Introduction
Nursing began as a relatively undefined profession. A nurse was once a doctor's helper at best, or even a mere tender of children in some uses of the world, like the 'nursemaid' who was the nanny of a Victorian home. As the demands of modern warfare and the institutionalization of the 19th century hospital environment began to place additional demands upon the medical profession, more and more women sought to become nurses as a calling, not merely as a way of making money in one of the few suitably feminine occupations open to women. Over the course of the 20th and now the 21st century, nursing has become a more scientifically respected profession,
| 1025 | Oedipus Rex Character
Introduction
The famous Greek dramatist Euripides wrote the expression, "Whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad." Oedipus Rex as a man and a victim of the whims of the gods indeed was made mad to the point of blinding himself after learning that his life's fate had indeed been fulfilled. Sophocles' Oedipus Rex as a play relays the fact of the inevitable - that once fate has been written, we can never escape it despite the delusions we tell ourselves that we indeed choose our own destiny. And once we chose to avoid Fate and strive to make the best effort of improving our lives, it is actually the gods as the puppeteers toying with us to enable us to let our guards down and believe that all is well until the foreseeable is upon u
| 1213 | Affirmative Action Issues
Affirmative Action on Trial: Is Fairness an Elusive Goal?
GENERAL BACKGROUND:
What are the origins of what is known today as affirmative action, the programs that seek to remedy past discrimination against minorities and women? The original American foundation for social justice, fairness and civil rights was set forth by the signers of the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal..." And later, in the U.S. Constitution, the 13th Amendment made slavery illegal; the 14th Amendment guaranteed equal protection under the law; and the 15th Amendment banned racial discrimination in voting access (www.now.org).
In 1954 the Supreme Court (Brown v. Board of Education) ruled that segre
| 3138 | Ratios: Quickest and Best Way to Get a Clear Picture of the Financial Health of a Business
Ratios are the quickest and best way to get a clear picture of the financial health of a business. Assuming that the financial data on which these ratios are calculated is accurate and current - which is not always the case with small businesses, or even former corporate giants like Enron - dividing total equity into total liabilities gives a rough but usually dependable picture of the ability of an enterprise to pay it debts,
| 346 | Analysis of Cash Flow Statements of Bank of America and Wachovia
Bank of America
The company has seen an increase in its cash on hand from 2003 to 2005, with a slight increase (seven percent) from 2003 to 2004 and a more significant increase (28 percent) from 2004 to 2005. Most of this increase came from financing, which enjoyed increases of 155 percent from 2003 to 2004, and 29 percent from 2004 to 2005. However, these gains were offset by investing activities, which declined precipitously (by 75 percent in 2003 to 2004 and by 20 percent from 2004 to 2005). Continued losses in this area could prove problematic to the organization in the long-run ("Bank of America," 2006).
Specifically, cash from financing activities increased to more than $171 billion in 2005. Most of this increase came from incre
| 933 | Gannett Corporation: An Influence in Wide Areas of Media
Gannett Corporation is a media giant that owns newspapers, television stations, periodicals, and even Internet sites. They can influence media in many ways, and influence their own media as well. For example, they publish USAToday, a nationwide daily newspaper that often provides articles to local Gannett newspapers. They also publish USAWeekend, a Sunday supplement to their many newsp
| 313 | Marketing The Young Reader
Young readers are different today. Companies market to them (such as all the hype and marketing surrounding the release of Harry Potter novels), and they have more choices to read. (Books, graphic novels, and even newspapers geared to children.) In addition, they have many other entertainment choices, from computer games to the Internet, and many children do not read as much as they did even 20 or
| 323 | Oedipus: Remained Essentially a Leader
An oracle prophesied to Laius, the king of Thebes, that his child by Queen Jocasta would kill him and marry her (Storr, trans 1912). People of that time deeply believed in oracles and so when Oedipus was born, the king bound his feet and was left to die in a mountain. But a shepherd found the infant and turned him over to another shepherd who gave him to Polybus, then king of Corinth, who was childless. Oedipus grew up in the belief that he was the son of Polybus until developments led him to suspect. He consulted the Delphic oracle and learned about his destiny. In trying to avoid killing his father and marrying his mother, he fled from Corinth. On his way to Thebes, he met and killed his unknown father. In Thebes, he subdued the Sph
| 1429 | Establishment of HR Department in Joint Venture With Local Company in Peoples' Republic of China
The evolution of the market trends, together with the development of technology and the globalization tendency have left an important mark upon the ways in which businesses must be conducted in order to become, and more importantly, to remain successful. Under the circumstances in which companies use a maximum specialization of their resources, it is crucial for any type of organization to embrace a corporate philosophy based on long term strategic planning and pro-active management techniques.
Another fundamental factor that contributes to the successful functioning of a company is represented by its approach to the Human Resources policy. Taking into consideration the fact that most of the successful companies have access to similar tec
| 3020 | Ethics: Informed Consent in "Pigeon Wars"
Informed Consent
Informed consent is vital to the role of ethics and morality issues, but without all the information on any given subject, it is difficult to make a decision based on informed consent. As author Roach notes about shooting cadavers, "Then again, if you're planning to shoot guns at them, it might be good to run that up the flagpole and get the a-okay" (Roach 146) from surviving relatives. This is the sticky part of informed consent issues such as these. Most relatives would not sign consent forms if they knew their loved ones' bodies might be used to prove the validity of weapons, rather than used to enhance military effectiveness. Yet, without the cadavers, testing of some items, such as bulletproof vests, is difficult
| 1031 | Admission Essay: Immigration into the United States
Beginning roughly in the mid 1700's, what is now known as the United States of America experienced a massive influx of people from European countries like England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, just to name a few. This great migration of people from a number of diverse cultures eventually led to what is now called the "Great Melting Pot," a reference to the various ethnic, religious and
| 330 | Accounting Information Systems
Introduction: According to an essay published online on the Wikipedia.com website, an accounting information system is the system of records organizations must retain in order to generate accounting reports. These records include the sales made and their related expenses along with data about other financial activities and processes. Most companies use accounting software to maintain accounting records
| 324 | The Real Bad Boys of Hockey
Why is the game of hockey always so violent? In this paper, I will focus on the perspective of the male hero in "Bad Boy" and how his violence on the ice rink encourages violence in the sport of hockey.
When A. J. begins to be more violent on the ice, he gains respect from his coach and teammates. Violence and hockey seem to go hand in hand, and the fans clamor for more when a fight breaks out or a player engages in dirty tricks on the ice. The author shows that in the local reaction to A. J.'s sudden turn of violence on the ice. She writes, "No matter what Lloyl says in the paper, or all the fuss about violence and sports, they love this. It frightened him how it made his heart pound" (Wieler 134). A. J. finds he enjoys it as w
| 858 | The Cadaver Who Joined the Army
Response to "The Cadaver Who Joined the Army"
Research that uses dead bodies of human beings is "ethically sticky" because most people who donate their bodies for research don't know or picture what will really happen to them. Romantically, they think a medical student will find a cure for a disease as a result of a careful and thoughtful dissection with every effort made to preserve the dignity of the corpse. They don't picture being blown up or made the t
| 371 | Heart of Darkness: Imperialism and the Madness in Characters
Heart of Darkness, unarguably one of the best novels ever, on the subject of imperialism and the madness that it gives birth to. The novel deals with the subject of madness not in terms of medical lunacy but lunacy that originates from becoming very powerful, from corruption of soul and from higher level of intellect. In one of his letters, Joseph Conrad described the central premise of the novel as "an anecdote of a man who went mad in the Center of Africa." (Collected, 417) From the beginning of the novel, it appears that madness is a critical theme as Marlow faces the rather intriguing question: "'Ever any madness in your family?' |the trading company's doctor~ asked, in a matter of fact tone" (11). Madness is a omnipresent threat in
| 598 | Giant Squid: In Disney Movies
The Disney movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea depicts the giant squid with impressive special effects for a 1954 production. The movie version of the enormous cephalopod, which captures protagonist Captain Nemo in one of its coiling tentacles, is shown to be a fearsome predator with a relatively accurate physiognomy. Its large eyes, the coiling motion of the sucker-laden tentacles, and the overall appearance of the invertebrate are fair
| 352 | Why Geography Matters
It is ironic that the third chapter of the Why Geography Matters starts off about global warming. Since the release of Al Gore's movie and The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) report on global climate change last week, the topic has become big news. Despite the fact that the IPCC announced "unequivocal evidence that humans are the driving force behind global warning" (which comes as no surprise), there still are many questions left unanswered, such as would this global warming be occurring without human intervention anyway, but slower; can it be reversed; and what is the timeline. The author's comments regarding the fact that global warming is becoming a moral as well as a scientific arena are appreciated, concerning the a
| 1288 | Genograms: Family Coping Mechanisms
Emotional triangles are one example of the interpersonal dynamics that develop within ordinary, everyday families. The implications of the triangle dynamic in the family are in a normal functioning family good genographic coping mechanisms that create healthy interpersonal communication and yet as with many other things more than enough is to much as repeated and long term reliance on triangle dynamics, or the involvement of a third party to elicit communications and resolve conflicts within the family can also damage the family.
Triangles: A very important principle in the use of genograms is the fact that triangles between three family members often represent the attempt of two members to maintain either closeness or distance. When tens
| 623 | Key Aspects of Kreon as a Character within Sophocles' Oedipus Rex
In the tragedy Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, the title character and protagonist Oedipus, who is King of Thebes when the play opens, is a very different kind of character, especially in terms of presence; temperament, and developmental than is his brother-in-law and (as it turns out) successor to the throne of Thebes, the quieter and more diffident Kreon. For example, while Oedipus struts around the stage, full of pride; self-pity, and self-importance, Kreon is tentative; unassuming, and quite retiring by comparison. Further, Oedipus is hot-tempered and easily offended. Kreon is calm and even-tempered. Kreon respects the gods as being wiser than him; therefore he takes nothing personally since what happens is the will of the gods. Oedipus
| 1411 | Ethics Inventory
The results of the completed Ethics Awareness Inventory reveal a strong support for Kantian deontological theory. A believer in immutable moral laws, I do believe in solid definitions of right and wrong. At the same time, I value human freedom of choice and autonomy. The opposite ethical standpoint from my own is likely to be utilitarianism. When working in team environments to overcome ethical quandaries, I will need to keep in mind and respect ethical standpoints and opinions other than my own, especially since not all of my colleagues will agree. The Ethics Awareness Inventory, in fact, revealed the potential for me to grow frustrated by dissenting opinions regarding right versus wrong. I may have the most trouble with ethical relativist
| 658 | White Collar Theft in the Workplace
Studies show that white-collar theft is increasing. For example, studies by the Department of Commerce, American Management Association and other organizations estimate that employees steal over a billion dollars a week from their unknowing employers (Wang & Kleiner, 2005). Other studies estimate that nearly one-third of all bankruptcies are caused by employee theft and it takes approximately $20 in sales to offset every $ 1 lost to theft. In business, surveys indicate that the vast majority of executives believe it is wrong for their employees to lie to them, but one-third approve of their employees telling untruths to their customers and one-half think it is acceptable to lie to safeguard the company (Shellenbarger, 2005).
