From the Paper
"Furthermore, to date, I have audited two courses in this department as non-degree seeker (Communication Systems/Practice and Communication with Organizational Publics); throughout these courses, I was highly impressed with the faculty members who were found to be nurturing and enthusiastic about the issues, and who represented a veritable real-world fountain of knowledge about the subject matter as well. The comprehensive curriculum provided at the University of California offers an innovative and interdisciplinary program that particularly appeals to me for this purpose since there is a distinct focus on the relationship between media and politics and what part each plays in bringing communications to the general public and how they tend to respond to such messages."

From the Paper
"Change is something we can face with either trepidation or anticipation. I have always liked immersing myself in new experiences and situations. I come from a traditional Chinese culture that believes there are both Yin and Yang; that everything in life has an opposite and something to balance it. Unfortunately, it seamed I had a little too much "Yang" as my family had a number of problems that prevented me from enjoying a happy childhood. If I had believed in good karma, I would have concluded that growing up in Chinese-Vietnamese family in Hong Kong would eventually make me a stronger person and provide me with the desire and skills to help others."

Post-Modernism, Post-War Critical Theory and Marxism, 2003.
A comparative analysis of post-modernist theories with post-war critical theory.
3,148 words (approx. 12.6 pages), 12 sources, MLA, £ 63.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper embarks on an examination of the work of post-war critical theorists Adorno, Horkheimer and Marcuse who capture the dominant themes of post-war Critical Theory well. It proceeds to show how many parallels are evident between post-war Critical Theory and the more recently formulated postmodernist theories. An examination of postmodernist theories then ensues, taking as exemplars the work of Baudrillard, Jameson and Harvey. It concludes by arguing that postmodernist theories do indeed revisit the critique of modern culture, which post-war Critical Theory began and they do so without the political commitment to Marxism. An explanation for this follows, discussing the events which ?shattered a whole generation of French intellectual?s beliefs in the moral supremacy of Marxism? and sheds light on the climate which ultimately paved way for the emergence of postmodernism.
From the Paper
"Advertising encourages individuals to view themselves primarily as consumers, and under the guise of entertainment, audiences are manipulated into accepting and conforming to existing society. Kellner captures this sentiment well claiming ?advertising progressively fuses in style and technique with the entertainment of the culture industry, which in turn can be read as a series of advertisements for existing society and the established way of life? (1989:33). The culture industry is designed to discourage individuals from challenging the given order, to think critically and indeed, think for themselves. ?The need, which might resist control, has already been suppressed by the control of individual consciousness? (1995: 121). Adorno and Horkheimer show how the products of the culture industry are similar to those produced in a factory, sharing their belief that ?under monopoly all mass culture is identical?. (1995: 121)."

Abstract
The author of this paper has dedicated his life to his Christian beliefs and now wishes to enroll in graduate studies to further his religious studies. The paper is intended as an admission essay for his enrollment at Philadelphia Biblical Universities.
From the Paper
"At the Last Supper, Jesus Christ took the Bread, broke it and gave it to the disciples. Then he took the wine and gave it to his disciples. Jesus foretold the death of his physical self and the spilling of his blood for our salvation. With these two actions, Christ established a mandate for Christian Living. He called us all to give of our selves, just as he gave of himself?even if it meant breaking ourselves. For a long time I have had the feeling that my salvation, my life?s fulfillment and my joy were somehow associated with the pursuit of spreading Christianity and sharing the wonders of my own Christian experience with those around me. If this is what Christ called ?breaking of one?s body,? then my body is available to be broken. But to do God?s work to the fullest of my abilities, my education needs to be completed. That is why I wish to enroll for graduate studies at the Philadelphia Biblical Universities."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of the gender bias problems that occur in GRE testing. Furthermore, a number of issues related to this problem are addressed. Finally, a conclusion will be drawn and alternative solutions and recommendations for graduate school admission criteria is proposed that promote equity and fairness for all entering students.
From the Paper
"Students that apply to graduate school are affected by the often rigorous application process, including the submission of test scores from the GRE. For many students, advanced standardized tests such as the GRE are not an accurate measure of true academic performance and may negatively influence admission decisions: ?The research demonstrates that standardized testing has a negative impact on students, perpetuating and intensifying educational inequity through test bias and the misuse of test scores? (Froese-Germain 111). Those who score poorly on the GRE are often eliminated from admission contention even though the test is perceived as one small component of the selection process. It has been demonstrated that although the questions found on the exam are theoretically designed to be equivalent for either gender, they are often proven to be otherwise. These questions emphasize the significant differences between how males and females perform on standardized tests. In addition, ?Men and women differ in their chosen interests and activities, and these differences are likely to have an influence on school activities, grades, and test scores? (Azen, Bronner, and Gafni 77). The identification of true test bias is determined in the following statement: ?If a group of examinees always performs more poorly on a test and this group does not subsequently exhibit inferior achievement, then the test misrepresents this group and is said to be biased? (Azen et al. 78). In general, admission tests are required in order to accurately select and predict the appropriate candidates, and this process can have a negative effect on the potential success of student populations."

Graduate Degree On-line Programs, 2002.
This paper is a research proposal that uses qualitative case studies to measure the success of a graduate program being developed for distance or online learners.
3,855 words (approx. 15.4 pages), 37 sources, £ 73.95

Abstract
This paper asserts that distance learning for graduate programs has been slow in development because educational institutes believe that distance learning cannot fully educate the student, but recent research has indicated that distance learners do as well or better than traditional in class students do. The paper explains that the development of a graduate on-line program requires criteria, which will help ensure that the students gain the objectives to obtain the credits as well as provide the students with a support system in case they have a problem. The author states that the research objective seeks to describe the steps a graduate level program must undertake to transform the curriculum into a competency-based structure optimized for delivery online.

From the Paper
"One of the differences the online program has from the in person program is the length of time required. The on campus degree program can be completed in one year while the online program requires the students to spread it over three to four years. The program offers almost identical courses according to those charged with its implementation. ?Instead of attending lectures and labs like other students, they began on a self-paced track based using materials provided through the World Wide Web. In exchange for class participation and standard office hours, students would email the professor for assistance and meet weekly with a graduate-level teaching assistant .? One distance learning institution is exclusively for distance education. The University of Phoenix is designed for adult distance learners. One of their requirements is that the students be more than 23 years old. Another requirement is that the students have full time jobs. These requirements are to insure that the students are mature enough and driven enough to complete the course work through a distance learning program."

"Breakfast Club" vs. "The Graduate", 2004.
This paper discusses and compares the two films "The Breakfast Club" and "The Graduate".

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that a surface level examination of 'The Graduate', directed by Mike Nichol, and 'The Breakfast Club', written and directed by John Hughes, may at first yield the idea that the films are vastly different in all aspects of comparison. However, the films, released in 1967 and 1983, respectively, share common underlying themes focusing on the need to rebel from society, the detachment from one's parents as one becomes an adult, and as social/societal alienation. The writer maintains that all of these themes can be summed up into one wide category dealing with the identity crisis faced by the collective youth of society. The writer concludes that, although 'The Breakfast Club' and 'The Graduate' are from different decades and have drastically different approaches, both deal with the identity crisis faced by the youth in the US to which people can relate to even to this day.
From the Paper
"In The Graduate, Dustin Hoffman plays Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate who returns home to a world of uncertainty and encounters a psychological crisis in the sense that he doesn't know who he is or what he wants. Benjamin's uncertainty about his future combined with societal expectations and parental pressures leads him to rebel from all of the forces that are constantly pressuring him. This rebellion comes in the form of an affair with Mrs. Robinson played by Anne Bancroft. Ben's rebellion comes from a feeling to conform to what he believes society wants him to be. I believe that when Ben started his affair with Mrs. Robinson, he felt that for the first time in his life he had actually done something that wasn't his parents idea and such action was liberating, if not also exciting to him. This is apparent due to the fact that Ben continued his rebellious actions with little concern for what was happening around him or for his future. His lackadaisical lifestyle consisted basically of two phases: lounging in the pool during the day and having sexual experiences with Mrs. Robinson each night; both phases having an underlying rebellious theme as well as a general lack of concern for the future or for societal expectations."

From the Paper
"WHAT I WISHED I HAD DONE IN HIGH SCHOOL....What I DID do was grow up and mature. What I did not get a chance to do was to expand my horizons and get a taste of other cultures and other areas of the world. Not that I am unfamiliar with traditions of China, for example. Both my parents are from China, and from a very early age I was exposed to both American and Chinese cultures through them and their eyes. But, I wanted to experience it for myself. For some high school students, getting to drive a car for the first time, or going out on a date without parents tagging along is a life-long memory. For me, it would have been a chance to see China and meet Chinese people for myself, and not through books or films or TV news magazines, or even through the stories and memories of my parents. I wanted to walk on the Great Wall. I wanted to see Tiananmen Square. I wanted to see the countryside where rivers were being dammed, new farms built up, factories even with American firms' names on them, being built. It was more than wanting to revisit "my" past culture. It was the fact that I was realizing how small the Earth was becoming and that no opportunity should be missed to see things before the completely "globalize"."

From the Paper
"I was deeply moved by the story of the little man who spun straw into gold. But the material aspect of it, intriguing as it was, was not the source of my captivation. There are plenty of childhood fables touting the magical and mystical. Few also carried the deeper lesson that the seemingly impossible can be achieved, albeit at a price. Inspired by the optimistic concept of transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary through diligence and hard work, I've managed to turn the straw of my own life into golden experience and tremendous opportunity. The seeds were sewn in my youth that Rumplestiltskin's story serve as a metaphor for my life."

From the Paper
"There are so many things about study in the UK which appeal to me. One is that the programs are of such high quality, and allow me to specialize easily in the field which is most specific to my needs. In addition, the ability to complete to degree in just one year is especially important to someone like me, who is in mid-career, married and with a child. In addition, I do not want to take a longer sabbatical from my job than I absolutely have to. I am lucky enough to have a job that I truly love. I do not want to lose my position with this company. On the contrary, it is my desire to stay with this company, and bring to my position all that I possibly can. I don't want to be out of the loop too long. Of course, in all honesty I must admit that I also do not want to be too long away from my family, who will wait for me in Vietnam and depend upon me for support."

Abstract
This film study analyzes four consecutive shots that reside within the "bedroom" scene in the early part of film, "The Graduate" by director Mike Nichols.

In essence, four consecutive film shots will be thoroughly analyzed to give a broad, yet detailed analysis of the importance of this scene with the film."
From the Paper
"Mrs. Robinson constantly tries to get Braddock to talk, but he only uses refrains: "Mrs. Robinson the bathroom is right down the hall," which signals a rejection to the older woman. However, she continues and is persistent. Her lavish, shiny black dress seems to glow in the dim lighting of the room, as she is obviously trying to seduce Braddock from his bed."

"Currently, I am an intern at North Suffolk Mental Health Associations (NSMHA). My primary work is with individuals diagnosed with various psychotic disorders such as Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder. Additionally, many of these individuals are diagnosed with personality disorders such as BiPolar Disorder. Having reviewed Dr. Roemer's research, I am excited and intrigued to find out more. Also, my work at NSMHA has heightened my interest in the study of emotion regulation, especially considering the population I work with. Often, clients have expressed to me their concerns with continuous mood alterations and their difficulties directing their behaviors and thoughts to deal with these changes. As I have observed, many of my clients have responded well to medication; however, there is still the need for strategic methods to control new moods that develop as a result of the medication."
