From the Paper
"The characteristics of CACG comprises definite content and process components of career-decision making for instance distinctive work responsibilities for a vocation or the potential to observe two occupational description at the same time. Computers can for sure assist in giving the information necessary to take decisions. Through the use of computers, total and also easily retrievable data files on various vocations can be obtained. Hence, computers can give the necessary information to formulate what Parsons marked as actual reasoning. Truly, information relating to the transforming career market and resources for training might be given in a better manner by the computers because of the vast quantity of career information a career counselor will have to collect to be helpful. (Katz, & Shatkin, 1983)"

Abstract
Career counseling, from the outside, appears to be little more than an established network of people who maintain binders of job postings and help people with tips about interviews. At the high school level, they are seen as the people who carry binders of college materials and help students fill out applications and write essays. These misconceptions do a significant injustice to the field of career guidance, for they miss the entire point of what it is that the career counselor does. Helping a person discover what it is that they want to define their life with and helping them achieve that goal requires the analytical skills of a psychologist, the patience of a priest and the business eye of a CEO. At the core of career guidance are schools of philosophy and thought which center upon the work of scholars the like of John Holland and Donald and Ann Roe. It is the purpose of this paper to explore these two theories of career guidance and to find their common and uncommon ground.

"Counseling and Guidance
Introduction
Health counseling and guidance in the educational setting involves coordinating a number of different concerns for the assessment of student problems and for intervention strategies to cope with these problems. School health counseling is indirect rather than direct, providing a consultative role more frequently than the traditional one-to-one counseling more suited to providing aid to mature individuals. This does not mean that such counseling precludes individual interventions, but these are usually secondary to the larger needs of the student population as a whole and to the desire on the part of the counselor to serve those needs through a strong program of,..."

Abstract
This paper examines the emotional scarring that children undergo as a result of abusive or neglectful parents. It follows with a look at their lives and it concludes with specific examples of parental abuse and its impact on the children's lives as adults.
From the Paper
"Anais Nin on the other hand went through different though equally disturbing experiences as a child, revealed in her book, Dairy of Anais Nin. She, like Nash, grew up in a family where father was the culprit. Her parents had an abusive relationship and fighting was a regular feature of their troubled marriage. He proved to be anything but a good father when he would openly make sexual advances to Anais and would regularly spank the children. Despite occasional periods of apparent tranquility, the family hardly ever felt harmony and real peace because Anais' parents would argue incessantly. This had a bad impact on Anais who it is believed developed psychological problems, as she often experienced bouts of depression, which she was able to overcome with the passage of time. Though her personal journals and dairies were received well by the public, she was nonetheless accused of lying in her diaries by some of her critics."

From the Paper
"Introduction
According to Nancy Perry (1997), head of the American School Counselor Association, it was Sputnik that was responsible for altering the role of the school guidance counselor. This started a process that has made the job of the school counselor almost impossible because of so many different expectations. School counselors were expected to get students to major in math and science, then they were given administrative and clerical responsibilities, along with testing responsibilities, and responsibilities for dealing with social problems.
In order to address the continuing problem of delimiting, and standardizing the role of the school counselor, the ASCA set forth a set of national standards in 1997, although it is still up to the individual.."

Abstract
The writer of this paper contends that just as people use the bible and tales from Greek mythology as guides for moral behavior, Arthurian codes of chivalry can also be used as such a source. This paper lists the 10 basic rules of chivalry and compares them to the 10 commandments. This paper defines chivalry as a set of ideals and duties that changed throughout the middle ages to meet new socio-economic realities. Chivalric virtues were a clear distillation of what it meant to be a fine human being as well as a person in search of justice and humility.
Topics covered in this report include:
Chivalry
The Code of Chivalry
Bibliography
From the Paper
"To be honorable means to treat other people fairly and to keep our word when we promise something. It also means that we are willing to admit our mistakes and ask forgiveness. We don't attempt to cover up mistakes and hope no one notices. First, we tell the other person without mincing words that we have screwed up and that we will do what we can to correct the matter. Then we ask for forgiveness without expecting it. Finally, we take whatever comes. To be courageous is easy when no one else is involved. It is when we have to deal with other people that we sometimes get terrified and run. But to have courage (to be brave) does not mean that we don't have fear."

Assessment and Education, 2006.
This in-depth paper evaluates the effectiveness of the current educational process by focusing on the issue of assessment and the vital role it plays in instruction and learning.

Abstract
This well-researched paper details the recent focus of the educational standards movement on the issue of assessment. The primary goal of the movement is to raise standardized test scores, but this is done without careful consideration of what the scores actually mean. The writer of this paper evaluates the effectiveness of the current educational process by focusing on the aspect of assessment and the vital role it plays in instruction and learning. Two defining criteria for solid assessment are validity and reliability. Validity is determined by how well an assessment measures what it is supposed to measure, including showing differences between test takers. Reliability is concerned with both the student performance and the scoring of the assessment. This paper discusses the matter of teacher shortages which augments the assessment problem. This paper also delves into the fact that many teachers are beginning their careers without certification and the only guidance they are given in assessment comes through the regular staff meetings that invariably include the latest information about how to raise standardized test scores. This paper examines the various strategies educators have at their disposal for combining assessment and learning. The writer contends that the end result should be more student-centered assessment which encourages the growth of each individual student. This also paper contains two illustrated graphs that relate to relevant assessment strategies.

From the Paper
"Two defining criteria for solid assessment are validity and reliability. Validity is determined by how well an assessment measures what it is supposed to measure, including showing differences between test takers. In other words, do the test scores actually reflect each student's mastery of the material being assessed? Reliability of an assessment is determined by how consistent its results are. Reliability is concerned with both the student performance and the scoring of the assessment. If students take the same test on two different days, a reliable test will yield the same results. Also, two or more scorers will come to the same conclusion in scoring the assessment."

Technical Training, 2008.
This paper discusses vocational training and its benefits.

Abstract
The paper explains that today's society is leaning toward career and technical schools where they prepare individuals for today's job market. The paper discusses the merits of technical training that takes the place of college for the many high school graduates who lack the confidence and discipline to pursue their education at a university. The paper relates that many technical schools offer smaller classrooms, hands on training, career guidance, short term training, resume preparation, mock interviews, and job placement assistance.
From the Paper
"College is not for everyone; therefore, technical training may be the best choice for the many high school graduates and college dropouts that lack the confidence and discipline that is necessary to pursue their education at a four to six year university. With added responsibilities, graduation from a traditional university is often a lifetime away and an immature individual may not be prepared for the real world. Doctors of Psychology, James Oelshlager and Robyn Coombs, state that "college students may experience a significant degree of stress as the result of these same developmental opportunities. Previous research has shown that college students report a higher rate of suicidal ideation than non-college students" ("Suicide and College Students"). Students become overwhelmed when they are away from home for the first time in their lives because they are faced with the reality that their parents are, not always, going to take care of their every need. All of a sudden they have to take care of their finances, laundry, cleaning, meals, and manage their time between school and work. Unfortunately, having feelings of distress can lead to suicide and for these individuals it is much easier to make a smooth transition into adulthood through a career school."

Development Stages and School Counseling, 2006.

Abstract
School guidance counselors are often caught in the middle of a conundrum: school is supposed to prepare one academically for the future, but how do you figure out why the child is not progressing? Failure to learn is not always equated to not being academically inclined. By looking to other developmental factors, the school guidance counselor can achieve a more salient set of results per student or student group than by just focusing on academic performance as reported by teachers and grades. This paper highlights the role of various developmental theories with a discussion of their applicability for the school guidance counselor. While the focus on this paper is primarily young teens/early adolescents and middle school guidance counselors, other developmental stages are also identified that apply to younger or older individuals.

"Emma", 2002.
A discussion of Emma's guidance through life in Jane Austen's novel "Emma".
2,889 words (approx. 11.6 pages), 6 sources, MLA, £ 44.95

Abstract
This paper reviews Jane Austen's "Emma", a didactic novel whose chief lesson is that, although society as it was constituted at the time was well ordered, it was up to the individual to make more or less of her/his position within that order. It examines how Emma Woodhouse, with all her advantages, was simply not ready to marry until she learned how to learn, although conventionally Emma was fully ready to marry. Emma was unready because she was unable to accept guidance. The paper analyzes the guidance she receives from Mr. Knightley and others and how she learns to be a lady during the course of the novel.
From the Paper
"But the model of the lady Emma is to become does not exist at Highbury. There are a number of women who should either function as models or be fellow pupils in the art along with Emma but none of them suffices: not Miss Bates, Mrs. Elton, Mrs. Weston, Harriet Smith, nor even Jane Fairfax. In part this is the result of circumstance. Emma's mother is dead and her sister, never a strong influence, lives far away. Mrs. Weston was always "a rational, unaffected woman" as Knightley notes, but as Miss Taylor, Emma's governess and companion, she had been more dedicated to pleasing Emma, as he also notes, than to curbing her independence (Austen 11).

Abstract
This paper outlines the responses of a Oklahoma high school guidance counselor to an interview regarding the methods of testing students in preparation for their decisions for the future. The paper describes the various testing methods available in the local school, and discusses the guidance counselor's opinion of these methods. The counselor's suggestions for improvement are illustrated in the paper.
From the Paper
"The school is serious in its intentions to develop high-quality standards for students. "In 1999 Priority Academic Student Skills curriculum (PASS), originally established in 1993, has been revised to clarify and provide more specific content guidelines" (NCTAF 2). This allows for different levels of performance in writing, reading, and mathematics. In some states, such as Oklahoma, if a student does not do well on the PASS, then he is not able to obtain his drivers license. Oklahoma requires that the student do well on a reading comprehension test that is given in the eighth grade or they cannot obtain their drivers license."

Abstract
The writer of this paper examines the circumstances that brought about the development of guidance system weapons in 1944. This paper also discusses in-depth the influential role satellite communication technology had and continues to have in most areas of warfare as well as the importance of global positioning systems (GPS).
From the Paper
"Although the atomic bomb was a revolutionary new weapon, it played no part in World War II until the end, and cannot be said to have had a profound impact on the actual conduct of war since. The effectiveness of nuclear weaponry is so extreme that, were it to be used, the results would be incalculable loss of life and destruction that could produce a complete change in the world as we know it today. It could also be said that the significance of the atomic bomb was in the elimination of warfare among the developed countries, but that has not happened. Instead, wars have continued almost unabated in one part of the world or another since then."
