Abstract
This paper explains that an effective way of increasing productivity and profit from any particular department of a company is communication through project team meetings which, when conducted effectively, provide an opportunity to disseminate information and to track the progress of the team. The author points out that the problems with actively implementing these meetings are lack of participation, preparation, connecting, and acknowledgment or appreciation. The paper relates that the team leader or manager can enable the success of leading an effective team meeting by satisfying its objectives and its participants.
From the Paper
"The work of the project, the evaluation and numerous other tasks will be conducted by team members outside of the meetings. The dissemination of results and the agreement on forward actions will take place in the team meetings. Although its sounds easy enough most companies struggle to adequately inform all concerned parties, unless that person is directly involved on a specific project. The project manager must ensure that all meetings are effectively planned, run and recorded."

Abstract
This paper discusses five common problems that may occur regarding team meetings. The paper examines the issue of the leader of the team not being prepared or able to lead the meeting. The paper contends that a leader must be able to move the team into a position of collaboration, rather than just cooperation. The fact that team meetings can become a "clash of egos" is discussed. The paper presents the problem of teams that are poorly formed. The paper also explores the problem of meetings coming to an end without addressing everyone's issues.
From the Paper
"One potential problem associated with running a team meeting is that the leader in charge of the team meeting, in charge of setting the agenda and moving the meeting along productively has not been trained, is ill-equipped in "people skills," or just has not done the homework. There may have been a "leader" who called the meeting together, but if he or she thinks the meeting will just "flow" without strong direction, a big mistake is being made, and time is being wasted.
"Leadership means setting an example," former Chrysler CEO Le Iacocca said; "when you find yourself in a position of leadership, people follow your every move." That is also the case in a team meeting. According to the Keller Williams Realty Agent Leadership Council Clinic (Keller Williams Realty, Inc., 2004), the leader of the team meeting's first and basic task is that she or he must have done the necessary homework in order to: a) define the problem to be approached and/or solved during the meeting; b) research and carefully present all available and pertinent information about the problem; c) determine what the criteria should be utilized in the process of approaching and solving the problem; d) have some possible solutions prepared, share them with the team, and solicit comments and additional solutions from the team; e) discuss and reach consensus as to which solutions meet the criteria which had earlier been spelled out."

From the Paper
"The contemporary tendencies in the field of business impose the use of teams and team work in order to render companies more competitive and more successful. Human resources have become a strategic asset for any organization, regardless of its filed of action. Under these circumstances, the importance of a coherent functioning of teams within a company has become fundamental. The direct implication of this fact is to be found in the area of motivation. The expectancy theory provides a complex analysis instrument from this point of view, helping us to understand the relation between the expectations that people have and the amount of effort that they would be willing to make in order to achieve a goal. In addition, the rules of efficient team leading and the control of group dynamics must be underlined as being relevant for the successful running of business."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Blind trust can be very damaging for team members. This is especially important if the teams are not in close proximity or do not correspond and interact frequently. Teams and team members need to set up boundaries and limits to enable trust building between members of the team. When trust is broken, effective measures have to be undertaken to identify the reason for breaching the trust and the suitable ?punishment? or reprimand that might be needed based on the situation."

Abstract
This report outlines three separate news articles which detail the September 10th, 2003 World Trade Organization (WTO) meeting in Cancun, Mexico. The articles, from Europe, North America and Asia, provide different glimpses and aspects of that one day. The paper notes that all three writers agree on their distrust towards the WTO, and are negative regarding outcomes from the meeting. Each article is discussed in-depth.
From the Paper
"On Wednesday, September 10th of 2003, a World Trade Organization meeting occurred in Cancun, Mexico to discuss issues of trade and tourism. Cancun is a popular tourist resort. Three separate articles from around the globe, namely Europe, North America and Asia, recorded this event from varying details. Around the world, there is a prevailing sense of disillusionment and distrust towards the WTO, at least as expressed via these three articles. Of the three, there was not one that held a positive view towards the Cancun meeting, a fact which is made even more significant by the vastness of subject matter relating to this event. One article takes the reader through the.."

Abstract
This research paper is based on a meeting held on November 6, 2001, by the Federal Open Market Committee. It explains that the committee discussed the decline in consumer and business spending worldwide and decided to ease its policy in order to give a boost to the economy.
From the Paper
"The Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve System held its scheduled meeting on November 6, 2001. After the terrorist attacks and in the wake of the U.S.-Afghanistan war, the FOMC discussed a major weakness in aggregate demand world over, but primarily in the United States. The committee was optimistic about an upturn in the long run; however, the economic circumstances at the time showed a dreary picture. In spite of this, consumer spending remained fairly stable but was expected to decline in the near future due to job losses immediately following the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. The whole economy (of the entire globe, one may add) was highly disrupted at the time and it was thought that consumers may not be able to keep up with their expenditures as they would lose consumer confidence due to unemployment and bad business conditions which were in turn making people more cautious about investment. In such uncertainty it was considered likely that although the consumer expenditures may remain steady for a time, they would eventually fall to rise again perhaps in the year 2002."

'Strange Meeting', 2001.
Examination of the poem "Strange Meeting" by Wilfred Owen in terms of its poetic technique.

Abstract
This paper offers an explanation of the ideas expressed in the poem. It compares and contrasts it with other works of Owen which deal with war and death. The paper focuses on a discussion of how the poem works in term of poetic technique.
From the Paper
"Strange Meeting is probably Owen?s most problematic poem. Its title comes from Shelley?s ?The Revolt of Islam? - ?Gone forth whom no strange meeting did befall." It was written in the spring or early summer of 1918, the year he died. It was based on an earlier poem ?Earth?s Wheels?. The poem recounts a dramatic meeting in Hell between two soldiers who had fought on opposing sides. No longer enemies they find it possible to see beyond conflict and hatred in a shared awareness of ?the truth untold? and the need to proclaim that truth. As Owen said in his famous Preface, ?All a poet can do is warn?. "

From the Paper
"Because paper is a commodity product, supply and demand often fluctuates on a seasonal basis. For example, during the holiday seasons, the demand for paper and paper products increase significantly. This is due to a combination of factors including the demand for Christmas cards and holiday invitations by consumers, the demand for holiday catalogs and mailings by retail and service business, and finally the need for businesses that operate on a calendar fiscal year to fully expense their budgets for office supplies and paper products, encouraging many of them to spend heavily on paper products during the month of December. Xerox, accordingly, must be able to respond to this seasonal demand change on an annual basis so as not to lose potential sales opportunities to competitors."

Meeting Biological Needs, 2004.
Questions whether humans require sexual activity as a basic biological need.

Abstract
People need food and water to survive, but do they need to have sex? What is the cause behind human sexual behavior? A foremost reason for having sex is to have children, and if we did not reproduce, the human species would cease to exist. The paper shows that, on the contrary, in today?s world, one technically does not need to engage in intercourse to reproduce. New technologies in the medical industry can allow the creation of a fetus outside of tradition. The paper questions, therefore, whether people can stop having sex or whether our bodies need it for other psychological reasons. The paper covers five causes on which to review the psychological perspective of sexual behavior: the sexual response cycle, internal factors, external factors, mate selection, and sexual orientation.
From the Paper
"What is sexual orientation? Sexual orientation is a person?s sexual and emotional attraction to members of the same sex or the opposite sex. Examples of sexual orientations are: heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality. There have been many theories as to how an individual chooses to become heterosexual or homosexual. Research has been constructed on biological influences, a theory of brain interactions during development that cause feminization or masculinization. This nature versus nurture speculation is too early in the works to determine the cause of sexual orientation, however we know that genetics and brain structure are associated (Psychology: The Adaptive Mind, 443). Other theories have been based on timing of sexual maturity, peer groups, and gender identity."

The Meeting of West and East, 2002.
Examines the philosophy of rational love in a poem by Parmenides and compares it with Herman Hesse's novel, "Siddhartha".

Abstract
In the analysis of the representation of the "way of truth" and the "way of opinion" in the work of Parmenides, we are confronted with the problem presented by the second half of the poem where a description of the physical world seems to contradict the principles of method which Parmenides lays out in the first part of his poem. This paper will argue that a way of reconciling this apparent contradiction may be found if we compare Parmenides' approach to phenomenal reality with that of another philosophical tradition: Buddhism. The novel "Siddhartha", by the Swiss Nobel laureate Hermann Hesse, addresses many of the same issues as Parmenides with respect to how we are to distinguish between the "opinions" of mortals and grasp a "true" sense of the real world.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes Bruce Shackleton's essay about how most people lead their work lives and how this is typically an unfulfilling, yet very large, part of their lives. The paper explains Shackleton's contention that most people carry with them a shadow of another self that knows a better life than the one they are leading in their professional life.
From the Paper
"Workaholics are not the same as hard workers. The latter do what is necessary to complete the job. However, when a project is done, they relax and take time off to spend with family and friends. Hard workers work long hours on a short-term basis with clear goals. They also may work extra hours in response to staffing shortages or special projects. In contrast, workaholics labor long hours consistently, staying late and coming in on weekends and holidays, even if they do not have any pressing deadlines. They constantly think about work, even when they are not at work."

III - The Benefits of Organization
IV - Selecting Team Players
V - Team Expectations
VI - Problems with Teams
From the Paper
"Striving to meet organizational goals enables a team to reach their goals. Performance of a team in any organization is largely dependent on its members, their visions and goals, their individual performance, their willingness to work with each other and their desire to make the project a success. This is sometimes referred to as a group process and can be defined in teams to three maintenance behaviors - open communication, supportiveness, and conflict (Bottom & Baloff, 1994)."
