Abstract
In a globalized world, there is a growing need for understanding different types and forms of interaction between people in intercultural environments, i.e. working places, cities, etc. This implies that people refer more and more to various communication models and practices to master communication across cultures. These models ultimately lead to applying best practices in intercultural communication. One of the most popular models is the 7D Cultural Dimensions Model developed by Fons Trompenaars and Charles Hampden-Turner. First, this paper reviews the concept of culture as is related to the model. Second, it presents the seven dimensions of the model. Finally, the paper compares and contrasts the United States and Singapore within the context of the 7D Cultural Dimensions Model. The paper includes tables.
From the Paper
"First, there is Recognition, whereby organizations and individuals develop cultural awareness, i.e. knowing who they are on the intercultural world map, to what culture they belong, of what culture they are a product. It is also the stage in which one must recognize and become aware of the fact that there are cultural differences in the world of international cooperation. A common attitude of defense it to ignore the differences, with all the related risks when things go wrong. Recognizing the differences with the culture or context involved is also important in this stage."

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the Attitudinal Model and the Rational Choice Model for studying the law and the courts. This paper looks into how both models are used to understand the courts, in particular the United States Supreme Court. In addition, through a comparative analysis both models are applied to circumstances to determine which model is most appropriate when trying to understanding how the courts establish and define law.
From the Paper
"At first glance the attitudinal model and the rational choice (Strategic) model for studying the law and the courts seem vastly different. Essentially this is because they serve different purposes. The Attitudinal Model seeks to explain why justices (for our purposes justices on the Supreme Court) vote the way that they do, and the running premise is that they do so to implement their own personal policy preferences into the law. The Strategic Model seeks to explain the collective decision making process of the Supreme Court, focusing on what constrains, controls and influences the justices' decisions. However, the relationship between the Attitudinal Model and the Strategic Model for studying the law and the courts is not as clear-cut as this. This is because in an analysis of their essential foundations and applications, the strategic model, although different and contradictory at times, supplements the Attitudinal Model."

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the theory of the existence of three different dimensions of listening. The writer describes the three different dimensions as purely musical, sensuous and expressive. In this regard, the writer uses Sting's song "Fields of Gold," in order to demostrate the theory. The writer discusses the appreciation of music in this way.
From the Paper
"Aaron Copland argues that we listen to music on three planes, the sensuous the expressive and the sheerly musical. I tried to listen on all three planes to Sting's song 'Fields of Gold' which I had heard many times on the radio and as the third song on his CD Ten Summoner's Tales and listening to it this way gave me a whole new appreciation for his artistry. Copland says that the first plane the sensuous is just enjoying the music without thinking about it. That's how ... "

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of Dorothea Orem's method of nursing. She introduced the concept that nurses, as human beings, need to be allowed to treat patients according to their individual needs. The author examines this theory, and presents several examples where it has been applied successfully.
From the Paper
"Nursing isn?t only about ?doing for the patient,? but about assisting them and directing them to carry out their own self-care and self-directed life. ?A patient competent to live in the real world is competent not only to obtain and participate health care, but to do as much of it as would be done outside the institutional setting normally.? (Coleman, pp. 325-344, 1980) Self-care then, is especially important in any field of nursing because health care is more about taking care of the body outside of the institution rather than in it."

Moral Dimensions of Punishment, 2008.
An analysis of how morality can be applied to the punishment of criminals.
841 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 3 sources, APA, £ 20.95
»

Abstract
This paper discusses the moral dimensions of punishment, particularly with regard to criminals and incarceration. The paper argues that how stridently the criminal justice system pursues convicted criminals is a core moral and ethical issue. The paper also briefly looks at morally gray areas of punishment such as maximum security prisons and the procedures used to control and monitor inmates.
From the Paper
"Morally gray areas of punishment include maximum security prisons and the procedures used to control and monitor inmates. The basic conflict is between the rights of the individual offender and the rights of the victim. Justice system professionals, policy makers, and citizens face ethical conundrums when contemplating the ideal balance. What role the state should have in terms of surveillance of convicted sex offenders may also pose problems for policy makers and justice system officials. Moreover, punishment is almost always informed by political decisions, which creates further moral problems. A "tough on crime" fervor that swept through the United States during the 1980s and which still persists has had a profound impact on many American citizens. Three strikes laws and strident drugs laws are a few examples of when "tough on crime" can be an ethically questionable justice policy."

Dimensions: Indigo-Purple-Violet, 2006.
A discussion regarding the use of the colours indigo, purple and violet, and how these colours were perceived throughout history and how they are viewed today.

Abstract
This paper discusses the dimensions of Indigos, purples, and violets, all which have strong influences in the histories of many countries and in how society viewed these colors in relation to wealth and social standing. According to the paper, the creation of these colors was a painstaking process that required a craft unto itself. For this reason the use of indigos, purples, and violets were reserved for those of a higher class. In modern times these colors have been important to the study of physiology and psychology because of the impact that they are perceived to have on the mental and physical aspects of the individual.

Abstract
This paper explains four principles which health care practitioners must consider when faced with a dilemma. They are A) autonomy, B) beneficiency, C) non-maleficence, and 4) justice. The author defines autonomy as the independence to determine one?s own direction, conditioned only by the need to respect others? individual liberties. Beneficence is the righteous philosophy of doing good, while non-maleficence adds the condition that no harm should be done. Justice, the quality which creates the most controversy, may be defined as fair, just, equitable, and unbiased decision making.
Introduction
Morality And Ethics: What are they and Why do they Matter?
All You Need to Know about Ethics Approaches and Theories
Means, Ends, Principles and Virtues
A Six-Step Process of Ethical Decision Making for You to Follow
Surviving Professional Life Ethically
Ethical Dimensions of the Professional ?Patient Relationship
Special Challenges: ?Difficult Patients? and Patients in Suicidal Crisis
Bibliography
From the Paper
"Case studies become much more than words on a page when health care professionals see these names as people, who hurt, are afraid, and look to you, a medical professional for comfort. The actions the medical practitioner take next will help define their moral values. As Dr. Purtilo states on page 7, ?The goal of morality is to protect a high quality of life for an individual or for a community as a whole.? When one enters training to become a health care professional, the next stop should be to prepare themselves to deal with three types of morality: their own, their society?s, and that of society as a whole. These are pretty heavy topics for young people of 18 or 20 to ponder, but ponder them they must. If knowledge is the foundation of trust, morality must be its supporters. All medical professionals will encounter situations which should cause them to ?search their souls? for the best answers. The case studies which Dr. Purtilo presents throughout this book are actually a means to play the ?what if? game. ?What if it were my father/husband/brother/son? What would I do?? Dr. Purtilo closes this first chapter by saying that the formation of our morality and values is an on-going process. Each case will present slightly different variables and questions, therefore each day will be a type of check-up of our values and morality."

Abstract
This paper discusses white as a color and more specifically, white light. The paper describes the qualities of the color white and the multifaceted nature of existence and the way that it relates to significant chemical alterations in nature. The paper goes on to discuss the importance of white light to the scientific understanding of reflective light and the dimensions of other colors.
From the Paper
"Dimensions of the Color White Outline I Introduction. White as a color is not often considered to have many dimensions or properties that are significant to either science or society. While white may carry with it the concept of "purity", the color itself is multifaceted and related to significant chemical alterations in nature. White light has been especially important to scientific understanding of reflective light and the dimensions of other colors. Scientifically white must possess certain chemical compounds in order to exist, and in the field of psychology, white speaks to individuals through subconscious messages about the world they live in."

Blood Type in Relation to Personality Dimensions, 2002.
Looks at traditional ideas of blood type theories of personality and the need for these theories to be acknowledged by the western world.

Abstract
Lack of sufficient interest among western psychologist in blood type theories of personality has left the topic to be influenced by traditional belief. This paper shows that although this belief is widespread in Japan, where research findings do not support a relationship between blood types and personality traits, western evolutionary psychologists have given a new dimension to it by linking blood types with evolution of human civilization and dietary practices. Future research on relationship between blood type and personality needs to consider individuals' expectation, prejudice, and attitude to discrimination.

Abstract
Creating and managing brand image is a critical part of any retail business?s overall marketing plan. Yet research is lacking that demonstrates clear correlational links between cultural and socio-economic factors and branding imaging and performance in global markets, with particular regard for Internet-based businesses. The paper proposes a study to examine and identify the assorted cultural and socio-economic dimensional characteristics of foreign markets that are theorized to affect brand imaging and performance. The study proposes to obtain and analyze data from a multinational sample of internet business managers, representing 10 countries and 25 regions within these countries, in order to collect data related to the proposed study variables. The ramifications of the study findings for businesses that market brands globally over the internet and suggestions for further research are discussed. Chapter One includes an introduction and background of the problem and a theoretical framework for the study. This section is followed by a rational for this study, the research hypotheses and definitions of key concepts. Chapter Two presents an extensive literature review of the research topic and variables involved; this includes the concepts of brand image development, image branding strategies, cultural and socioeconomic market factors and product performance in the global market. Chapter Three presents information on the study?s methodology, including research design, sample, survey questionnaire, procedures and data analysis. Results are presented in Chapter Four. Chapter Five includes a discussion of the managerial and theoretical implications of the findings and suggestions for further research.
From the Paper
"With so many new companies appearing daily on the Internet, the effective manager must develop a marketing plan that presents products to the largest possible audience of customers. This is where brand image formation comes into play, as products and brands are frequently used to express cultural principles and determine cultural categories. Since brands and products that cross cultural boundaries can lead to customer confusion (certain goods may not be valued for the same reasons across cultures), effective marketers must ensure that the values communicated by their products and brands are meaningful to customers in their target audience (Steinberg & Klein, 1998). Identifying the pertinent cultural and socio-environmental characteristics that satisfy consumer needs should help marketers choose brand image strategies that have the greatest potential."

Abstract
This paper looks at recent studies that have been able to unravel several mysteries about the components, phases, and duration of love. The paper shows that each component of each stage and phase of love, when properly applied in comparison to a real-life relationship, can help to predict the duration of a relationship, as well as allows lovers to realize and fix any problems in their relationship.
From the Paper
"The least important component in this stage is C. Persons in this stage are subject to a wave of new and intense emotions, both of general and sexual physiological activation. They also experience a gradually satisfied desire to establish a special affective bond with the other."

The Due Process Model vs. The Crime Control Model, 2004.
Looks at the conflicting goals of the United States criminal justice system: to control crime and to protect the rights of the accused.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The criminal justice system here in the United States has traditionally operated under the premises of two fundamentally opposing goals. One goal is the crime control goal. This goal operates under the idea that criminals should be aggressively pursued and crimes aggressively punished. The other goal is the due process goal. This goal operates under the premise that the rights of the accused need to be carefully protected in any criminal justice investigation. This paper examines both of these positions, determining which one is the better goal for the United States to pursue, and why.
From the Paper
"Liberals have been the traditional defenders of the due process model (Perron). They are certainly operating under noble guidelines. The United States Constitution itself carefully lays out the rights of the accused in a series of amendments in the Bill of Rights. The Founding Fathers were obviously very concerned about protecting the rights of the accused, or these protections would not have been included in the Constitution. Should we as a nation follow any less stringent standards in dealing with our accused today? "

The Moral Dimensions of Punishment, 2005.
A philosophical and ethics-based debate on the moral justification of punishment by the state.

Abstract
The paper discusses the moral implications of punishment within the judicial system. The paper focuses on three areas of punishment: capital punishment, imprisonment in maximum security facilities, and the surveillance of sex-offenders. The writer concludes that although the criminal must be held responsible and accountable for his/her crimes against society, as human beings, we should ask ourselves whether or not it is morally right to punish our fellow man, and whether this punishment puts us on the same moral level as a criminal who punishes his victim.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Capital Punishment
Maximum Security Confinement
The Surveillance of Sex Offenders
Conclusion
From the Paper
"More recently, law enforcement officials and state governments have begun surveillance programs for sex offenders in the form of ankle bracelets which monitor their every move or perhaps house arrest with constant video camera surveillance. Since the majority of these sex offenders target children as their victims, the morality of such surveillance is redundant, for it has been shown that surveillance techniques decrease the incidents of sexual crime and thus make our communities safer for children."

Abstract

Review of Literature

Interpreting Results
Last Remarks
From the Paper
"Bereavement Stress and Coping are familiar terms in English-speaking
countries as need modification to reveal the severity of symptoms and
the reality of persons who cannot 'cope'. Stage theories distort, as can
the under-estimation of anxiety, depression or more alarming symptoms
bereaved persons experience well beyond the acute or first year aftermath of loss. One needs awareness of postmodern societies a long average lifespan but also youth, midlife and serial bereavement as common phenomena. Inductive research, as in this paper's proposed project, should harvest the testimony of persons to survive bereavement, as other research must help human services professionals to become oriented to what bereavement stress can really entail, the nature of loss in the early 21st century.
