Conclusion
From the Paper
"The courts recognize the limitations of the process, but there have been one or two cases recently in which the TCC has taken a dim view of the way in which adjudicators have actually conducted adjudications, particularly where the adjudicator has been in direct discussions with one party without involving the other. Where the judge has found that there has been a breach of the rules of natural justice, the judge has refused to enforce the adjudicator's decision. "

Abstract
This paper provides a comparative analysis of the Academy Awards and MTV-MA as award-giving bodies. The paper posits that both award-giving bodies have similarities and differences that arise from the culture, audience, commercial value and socio-political relevance of the movies and processes that each award-giving body undergoes. The paper in general attributes specific segments of American culture as the primary driver that distinguishes the Oscars from the MTV-MA.
From the Paper
"These award-giving programs have their own niche and place at the spectrum of American entertainment. The Academy Awards' image differs radically from the MTV Movie Awards, though both programs enjoy popularity and renown not only in the entertainment business, but more specifically because of their influence in American culture. The Academy Awards' (referred to from now on as the Oscars) and MTV-MA's (MTV Movie Awards) importance is based, then, on their relevance to the entertainment business and the general public (as the audience and patrons of the entertainment business)."

From the Paper
"This is the first of the three distinct groups. There are only a total of nine judges that oversee the entire process of administering the award. They must also help with the selecting examiners, review the scored applications, selecting the organizations to visit, and reviewing the results of the visit (Wadworth, p.109). Once that process is completed, they can select the organization to recommend for the Malcolm Baldrige Award. The judges are involved in the oversight of the entire process, but they do not actually get involved with the process until the many hours of work by the examiners are completed. Then it is left up to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to make the final decision for the award after further background evaluations of the recommended organizations have been completed."

Abstract
This paper presents an argument against capping medical malpractice awards. The paper discusses several reasons why capping awards should not be adopted as public policy, contending that capping limits injured patients' access to justice.
From the Paper
"Capping medical-malpractice awards should not be adopted as public policy. It would be grossly inappropriate for several reasons. The much-discussed crisis in medical care that doctors and insurers attribute to malpractice litigation is misdirected and can be traced to other causes. The idea that malpractice awards are out of control and are increasing all the time is simply wrong and cannot be sustained by the facts which suggests that attempts to cap award amounts for punitive damages are being made in bad

Caps on Medical Malpractice Awards, 2005.
A proposal to place caps on malpractice awards while reducing risk to those in the nursing profession.

Abstract
This is a nursing proposal suggesting what nurses can do to reduce risk while strongly advocating caps on malpractice awards. The current legislature on malpractice caps and the level of reduced care to patients is discussed. The patients' own inability to afford service, the affordability to practice by physicians and their need to increase patients' costs for services by ordering many more than medically necessary are all covered.
From the Paper
"There is a vicious cycle taking place in the world of healthcare that involves patients, attorneys, physicians and healthcare professionals and facilities and insurance companies. Medical malpractice premium rates are forcing doctors and nurse practitioners to order medically unnecessary tests and pad bills or fold their practices. According to the Center for Legal Policy (as cited by Stableford, 2005) "unnecessary medical tests and constant referrals to specialists for second and third opinions costs an unnecessary $60 billion to $100 billion." Law suits continue to climb at an alarming rate with unconscionable awards that are not consistent with something that can be measured tangibly. Attorneys play on the sympathy of juries for neurological deformities of infants that could have naturally occurred genetically, not necessarily as a result of medical error, yet huge awards for punitive damages are awarded."

Performance and Award System, 2002.
This paper considers the use of a performance appraisal system in business.
650 words (approx. 2.6 pages), 4 sources, MLA, £ 18.95
»

Abstract
This paper discusses some of the requirements of such a perfomance and award system. The author points out some of the failures of such a system.
From the Paper
"The performance appraisal process is affected by a number of factors in the external and internal environments, and these factors can create problems. The process is affected externally by legislation, labor unions, and similar groups. The method of appraisal selected by an organization can affect the validity of the appraisal as well as the use to which that appraisal may be put. If an appraisal method is selected that results in a disproportionately negative impact on a protected class, for instance, problems will result and may produce more legislation and more requirements. Labor unions may oppose any appraisal system that undercuts the traditional importance of seniority as the basis for promotions and pay increases. Internal factors include the type of corporate culture and whether it hinders or assists in the process. The process is also affected by which department is charged with making it, which appraisal method is selected, and so on."

Genius Pablo Picasso, 2006.
This paper discusses that a twentieth century genius award should be awarded to Pablo Picasso.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that Pablo Picasso deserves recognition as a twentieth-century genius. Specifically, the paper looks at the great artist's work and notes both its virtuosity and how it influenced later generations of talented painters. No less significantly, the paper considers the question of whether or not Picasso will still have an impact upon our culture as we proceed into the new millennium. In the final analysis, the paper contends that Picasso's artistic and technical excellence in combination with his intuitiveness as an artist has given him an imperishable place in western culture.
From the Paper
"There have been, as one would expect, many brilliant individuals who gave invaluably to the twentieth century. However, out of all these brilliant and capable men and women only a few deserve the appellation "genius" and even fewer can be said to have successfully straddled the age of modernism and the age of pluralism. One of these geniuses, and perhaps the most profound and inscrutable, was Pablo Picasso."

Malpractice Caps, 2005.
This paper examines the issue of caps on malpractice awards.
1,560 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 7 sources, MLA, £ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the main reason why caps should exist on malpractice suit is the cost of malpractice insurance for doctors, which has forced many doctors to stop practicing medicine. The author points out that placing caps on malpractice awards might shield negligent doctors from being held accountable for their mistakes and might prevent patients from getting the monetary awards that match the economic and traumatic impact of the injuries they have incurred. The paper states that the solution to this issue is to place caps on malpractice awards; however, in extreme cases where negligence is apparent and the impact of such negligence is irrevocable, there must be exceptions to such caps.

Why Caps on Malpractice Awards
Why No Caps on Malpractice Awards
Discussion and Conclusion
From the Paper
"The problems associated with malpractice awards came to the forefront in 2002 when a group of 60 specialists at the University Medical Center in Las Vegas refused to work because of the high cost of malpractice insurance. Their actions caused the hospitals emergency room to shut down. This gave Nevada and the nation a glimpse of the public health crisis that could ensue if caps are not placed on Malpractice Awards. In the case of Las Vegas, legislatures came together and placed a $350,000 cap on the amount of money that a patient could receive as a non economic award in a malpractice case. However, lawmakers did attach to exceptions to the bill including "one involving cases where there is "gross malpractice". The other where there is "clear and convincing" evidence that an award should exceed the $350,000 cap."
