Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes human behavior and relationships within the confines of marriage. It describes the biological approaches to human relationships and then analyzes a cultural explanation for human behavior in marriage. The paper then looks at the psychodynamic approach which examines the interaction between culture and biology, but from a more personal perspective.
From the Paper
"On a more 'micro' scale, however, a couple in a relationship will likely see the constellation of influences upon their life as more of a learned or cognitive approach to human relationships, as each person models what they bring to the relationship based upon how they saw their parents behave, and how they see their friends and relatives behave towards their spouses. Such approaches portray learners as "active processors of information," suggesting that rather than being at the mercy of culture or biology alone, human beings engaged in the social relationship of marriage are in a creative dialogue between themselves, as well as with their social environments and with their genetic heritage (Hofstetter, 1997). This may ultimately be the more useful approach for a couple to view their own relationship, even if other explanations have a more convincing or rigorous scientific underlying basis."

Abstract
Human behavior has been studied for thousands of years, yet researchers still find interesting aspects of human behavior to study. It is the complexities, still somewhat beyond comprehension, that leave the exploration of human beings as the true 'final frontier'. This paper discusses just an infinitesimal portion of the plethora of research on the interesting topic of human behavior. This original research ranges from the study of the ontogeny of serial order behavior in humans to an examination of the theory of planned behavior in the exercise domain.
From the Paper
"The study of human emotional response to changing circumstances is interesting, especially the study of why certain individuals are happier than average over time. Lucas and Baird (2004) utilized seven studies to verify their hypothesis and found that ?the moderate correlation between extraversion and positive affect is one of the strongest and most consistent findings in the study of personality psychology.? However, more research should be performed specifically with more varied age groups."

Abstract
This paper examines how human behavior impacts organizations and how organizations, in turn, impact human behavior. The paper details this reciprocal influence by analyzing the manufacturing company, Jurox. The paper first describes the behavior of managers, including an explanation of why managers behave as they do, followed by a consideration of how the behavior of managers impacts both organizational processes and actions and other employees. The paper then provides an overview showing how behavior of managers, organizational characteristics, employee behavior, and organizational processes and actions are all linked.
From the Paper
"The first step is to consider the specific behaviors of managers. This consideration begins with the general manager. The general manager?s behavior involves having a strong focus on the organization?s operations by constantly reviewing facts and figures, while having little focus on understanding actual operations. This essentially involves a desk-management approach where the general manager constantly reviews the company?s operations and then responds when problems are noted. This approach does not include having a practical understanding of operations. The general manager also has an approach where he demands that action be taken, rather than asking for explanations. This includes that if he is given explanations, he reacts by suggesting that managers are making excuses. The impact of these actions on the managers is that they have no means of responding well when problems occur."

Abnormalities of Human Behavior, 2001.
This paper looks at the abnormalities within human behaviors in four different works of literature: Swift in 'A Modest Proposal', Anton Chekhov in 'Enemies', Frank Kafka in 'The Metamorphosis' and Wordsworth?s poem: 'World is Too Much With Us'.
1,010 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 4 sources, APA, £ 24.95

Abstract
This paper compares the way in which these poets and writers examine the dysfunctional behavior of society. Swift attacks abortions and death of young babies to unwed Irish mothers, Chekhov is embittered about his childhood, Kafka presents a bleak picture of human nature and Wordsworth thinks that the problems of the world are too much to bare. It concludes that normality and abnormality is defined by the needs of the humans within a society and thus dependent more on the perspective than the actual morality and sociology of the act.
From the Paper
"In 1729, Jonathan Swift, wrote the Modest Proposal, the greatest short satirical piece in the English language. Completely appalled at the abortions and murders of the Catholic Irish children born of unwed peasant mothers he writes this proposal that attacks the English politicians. In trying to make known such inhumane acts from desperate mothers he makes his protagonist an American, who the British consider, 'uncivilized." Through his protagonist he pens the words that shatter the emotional balance of the people who like living in conditional ignorance. He writes, "I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London," he writes in a satire that became a classic of English literature, "that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout."

Introduction
Safety Culture
Conclusion
From the Paper
"For many years, employers were not too concerned with the safety factor of their employees and employees, by human nature would use risk taking behaviors to get their jobs done. This combination of human high risk behavior and lack of company care provided a breeding ground for work place accidents."
"Today, company management teams are much more aware of the ultimate cost of lack of safety culture and are now much more eager to develop one at their place of business."
"As lawsuits and workers' compensation claims begin to decline the companies will see the importance of a workplace safety culture. It is important that employees believe their management team cares about their safety, therefore they will also be more inclined to participate in the idea that safety matters and high risk behaviors do not belong on the job."

Abstract
A comparative paper of two authors who both ask whether we can, as the objects, as well as observers of our own nature, detach ourselves from our surroundings and culture in order to form an objective understanding of who we are and what we do.
From the Paper
"Few problems have received more attention, or have generated more controversy, in our human history than the argument about which is the best way to analyze human behavior. Can we, as the objects, as well as observers of our own nature, detach ourselves from our surroundings and, culture in order to form an objective understanding of who we are and what we do? Are the conceptions and explanations that we generate about ourselves bound by our own experiences? These are the questions that Donna Haraway, the author of, "Primate Visions" and Richard D. Alexander, the author of, "The Biology of Moral Systems" attempt to answer. "

Abstract
This paper explains that depression is a severe condition that affects every aspect of a person's life. It discusses signs and symptoms of the condition and possible treatment. It looks at how it impacts a person's social, personal, and professional life.
From the Paper
"One of the most common illnesses, depression afflicts 20% of human beings worldwide across age, sex, race, religion, culture, sexual orientation or socio-economic strata (Ainsworth, ix). Unlike physiological or biological illnesses that can be treated by clear-cut clinical, therapeutic regimes, depression is an illness that manifests itself in different ways and degrees that affect an individual?s normal functioning ability to lead a productive and rewarding life. Leading from the very nature of the illness, therefore, the treatment of depression disorders can involve both clinical treatments as well other psychiatric treatments such as cognitive and behavioral therapies: ?It is doubtful that psychiatric categories can correspond to the taxonomies of physical diseases. There is the issue of the heterogeneity of each category?the lack of clearly identified underlying pathological processes?some of the presenting characteristics of a depressed patient do not always belong in the category of depression, and, in practice, no individual, depressed patient resembles another.? (O?Connor & Stravynski, 606-9)"

Human Behavior: Values, Cultural Design and Control, 2002.
Explores the notion of "Cultural Design" and its emphasis on the control and responsible restriction of freedoms and values.
1,850 words (approx. 7.4 pages), 3 sources, MLA, £ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper states that "Cultural Design" is a type of ?instrumental conditioning?, where people are conditioned to respond favorably to a situation or stimulus that produces positive reinforcement. The paper then attempts to relate conditioning or cultural design to human behavior and the concept of dignity vs. punishment. Finally, from the perspective of Cultural Design, the paper looks at why moral struggles are considered noteworthy to so many people.
From the Paper
"The plight of so many individuals is finding purpose and function in life. One may argue that by subjecting persons to punishment, their dignity suffers and thus they are positively reinforced to produce only positive outcomes. Cultural Design however, implicitly connotes ideas of control and responsible, restriction of freedom and values. These ideas and more are explored below."

Rational Choice and Human Behavior, 2006.
A discussion regarding Freud versus Kant, and the issue of rational choice.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 2 sources, £ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the concept of rational choice which suggests that the individual has the ability to make decisions after contemplation of all areas of concern, and that choice is based on free will. Kant's view in relation to Adam and Eve supports this notion. However, Freud's interpretation of rationality in relation to mankind suggests that natural forces lead man to make decisions and that he is compelled by these forces which involve no rationalization whatsoever. This paper discusses how these contrasting views provide theories on human existence and what leads man to make choices that will affect his life and the lives of others.

Abstract
The stock market?s dominant theory, the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) has been greatly criticized recently for its failure to account for human errors, heuristic bias, use of misinformation, psychological tendencies, in determining future expected performance and obtainable profits. Existing evidence indicates that past confidence in the EMH may have been misdirected, as the theory?s models do not show a thorough understanding of trading operations in a realistic light.
Researchers have suggested that a variety of anomalies and inconsistent historical results demand that traditional financial theories, namely the EMH, be reconstructed to include human interaction as a key decision-making process that directly affects the performance of financial markets. This research paper determines whether or not there is a need for a refined financial model that incorporates the behavior of the stock market?s investors. The paper includes tables and graphs.

From the Paper
"According to Barrett and several financial analysts, when investors watched the Nasdaq ?blast through the 5,000-point threshold in March only to give back half its value by year's end?, most investors felt the need t re-evaluate his expectations and investing philosophy.
The same group of investors that had dumped endless streams of cash into shaky Internet stocks at unprecedented prices suddenly pulled their money out of the stock market, afraid to buy even some of the leading industry stocks at low prices. This backs up research that states that the majority of individual investors will keep a losing stock too long and sell a winning stock too soon."
