Abstract
This paper comments on the introduction written by Gina Buijs to the book "Migrant Women: Crossing Boundaries and Changing Identities" and specifically on the subject of gender differences among migrants showing that the different experiences of women have been ignored and that this new research means to correct this failure, noting some of the different ways women experience migration.
From the Paper
"Gina Buijs in the Introduction to the book Migrant Women: Crossing Boundaries and Changing Identities, makes several comments about how discussions of migration leave women out of the equation or only include them as dependents of the males. This is clearly an overstatement, for much of the discussion of migration simply refers to the number of people migrating and does not make any distinction for gender or even age. Buijs's discussion is actually more focused than this and refers to the women featured in the book that follows, and for that particular population her comments have resonance. When extended to the entire world of migrants, though, many of her comments are questionable."

Abstract
This paper discusses the book "Boundaries Cracked: Gendering Literacy, Empowering Women, Building Community", written by Jennifer Subban and Alma Young. It discusses the issues related to in the literature of the fact that boundaries are formed for poor women in urban societies because of their inability to read and write, creating a manner of existence that restrains them from being able to achieve their goals.
From the Paper
"Boundaries of Literacy Jennifer Subban and Alma Young write "Boundaries Cracked: Gendering Literacy, Empowering Women, Building Community". Within the literature the authors discuss the fact that boundaries are formed for poor women in urban societies because of their inability to read and write, creating a manner of existence that restrains them from being able to achieve their goals (Subban & Young 49). The inability to communicate through reading and writing, or to comprehend basic information that is dispersed throughout the social order confines them to their world of poverty because they are incapable of seeking help that requires filling out forms, applying for aid, or filling out job applications. Women must struggle to seek help that will provide them with literacy training in order to alter their lives and the existence of their children."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that in 'Howards End', the sense of gender boundaries is so vividly written that one can not only gain an in depth understanding of this novel but also of the age. The writer discusses that the reader is introduced to an unfair society within England that holds so many flaws, yet the feminist political movement is identifiable throughout. The novel itself seems to be building up to some type of significant revolution or cultural change. It does this through the excellent creation of characters like Helen, Margaret and Mr Wilcox who represent figures within the social system. The writer notes that one can see the turbulent lives of these people gradually evolve through the three main families in this novel and not only by gender boundaries but also social class. The writer concludes that the events seem to signify a divided nation that shows a clash of interests, gender and class but ultimately something has to change.
From the Paper
"A perfect example is when Helen visits the Wilcox's and brings into the family discussion the idea of equality. Her description and opinion of Mr Wilcox's response shows just how much she fits back into the mould of the 'perfect woman', maybe without even knowing it. The simple fact that she feels ashamed of voicing a perfectly reasonable idea is brilliant in showing just how controlled women of that time were. What is even more significant is that fact that Mr Wilcox is the one doing the controlling. The final parts of the novel are in a way very different to the beginning, as the women are presented as much more libertaed especially Helen. The novel may well be representing the progression of female equality which was taking place during that period. Helen is a romantic and spontaneous but these are arguably qualities that a woman were condemned to have. Margaret has broken through by using the gift of peacemaker that she so carefully uses to make other characters closer. Despite the original feelings of many of the Wilcox family such as Charles and Dolly, it is Margaret who has succeeded in getting Howard's End along with the respect of her husband. At the very end of the novel she appears to mirror the first Mrs Wilcox through her gained experience, giving the appearance of wisdom yet has developed a larger sense of self worth and independence."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the subject of professional boundaries within counseling. The writer notes that it is critically important that the counselor has the necessary clinical skills in order to assess and develop levels of rapport with the client that are of an adequate nature. The writer points out that the literature relating to the necessity of a balance between rapport and professional boundaries is sadly lacking. The writer concludes that research should be applied in this direction in order that the current knowledge base be refreshed and that any new findings might be added to this research.
Outline:
Introduction
Overview
Importance of Rapport to Counseling Relationship
Importance of Professional Boundaries to Counseling Relationship
Maintaining the Delicate Balance between Rapport and Professional Boundaries
Respectful Persistence
Current Research on Strategies and Interventions for Maintaining Rapport and Boundaries Simultaneously
Implications for Counselors: Rapport/Boundaries Imbalance
From the Paper
"This is the client who has been forced to attend counseling and may prove difficult to work with in the early stages of counseling. This client is skeptical and has not acknowledged any need for change. The counselor must gain the client's respect and upon that basis establish trust with the client. Solution-focused strategies are considered effective and the counselor should outline the counseling process, identify what the counselor's role is, and outline the rights and duties belonging to the client and finally the counselor should state the outcomes expected from counseling therapy."

The Changing Role of Organizational Accounting, 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the accountant in a modern organization must be able to perform many more functions than in the past. Managerial accountants are important in assuring that the organization is on target for meeting strategic goals. It looks at how it is no longer enough to have a basic understanding of receivables, payables and cash flow and how accountants now play an active role in management and decision making. They are responsible for goal setting, forecasting and many other activities that were previously in the realm of management and must consider corporate culture and be able to adapt their techniques to meet specific company needs.
From the Paper
"Corporate culture and accounting used to be two terms that should never occur in the same sentence. Accounting was a separate entity from other systems in the organization. Now accounting is an integral part of every phase of the business including legal, political and social systems within an organization (Shraddha and Sidney, 1997). As the needs of an organization change, so do the accounting system change to meet these changing needs. A modern accountant must be more flexible in practice than in the past. Modern accounting practices must be able to adapt a trait that was not synonymous with accounting in the past. Accounting used to adhere to a rigid set of rules and procedures, but now they must remain flexible and willing to change on short notice. "

Abstract
This paper analyses the concept of "change", theories behind it, why it is necessary and how organizations need to cope with change in order to survive.
From the paper:
"Change requires change. Organizations today are making abundant changes internally to cope with a highly turbulent external environment. With frequent reorganizing, downsizing, rightsizing, delayering, flattening the pyramid, teaming and outsourcing taking place, careers and career opportunities are in pandemonium resulting from the progressive destabilization of relationships between people and organizations."

Abstract
This paper discusses ways in which the workplace is changing. According to the paper, old values of long service and loyalty are being replaced by high productivity, effectiveness and adaptability to changing conditions. The paper discusses how companies have adapted to consumer expectations. Advantages of new technology and flexible work schedules are looked at, as well as the problems. Alternative work schedules such as job share are discussed. The paper concludes that in the light of increasing customer demands, changing expectations, global competition and markets, combined with employee interest in achieving a better and more complete work/life balance, the initial inconvenience of implementation, will be more than offset by gains in productivity and strategic competitiveness.
From the Paper
"In recent years, a combination of factors has led to a paradigm shift related to very basic issues of the nature of work, the workplace, management and employees. The impact of information and communications technology; globalization of markets leading to bigger, more diverse markets and increased competition; and the constant pressure to increase efficiency while reducing costs. To compete effectively, companies are challenged to create new products, maximize efficiencies at the factory and corporate level and increase penetration within existing markets, all the while keeping customers satisfied with high levels of service which may span several time zones. Old values of long service and loyalty are being replaced by high productivity, effectiveness and adaptability to changing conditions."

Canada's Changing Place, 2003.
A look at Canada's changing place in the world in relation to Britain and the United States.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to identify and track Canada?s perceptions of its changing place in the world as a result of the two world wars, with respect to loyalty and nationalism. Its objective is to link these changing perceptions to broader socio-cultural, economic and political ideas socially and economically. It shows how throughout the course of history, Canada is tracked as at first giving allegiance to Britain, as it was a British colony and how, under the guidance of Mackenzie King, Canada changed course and began to emulate the United States, politically, socially and economically.
From the Paper
"Secondly, Canada was tied to Britain socially?Britain was a supplier of immigrants. Immigrants satisfied a variety of purposes, for example, the transportation of lumber from Canada to Britain was paid for by immigrants??Efficient use of the equipment used for shipping those heavy, bulky wood products eastward across the Atlantic demanded an equivalent cargo in weight and volume pay its way westward? (Zerker 10). While the immigrants provided labour for the British colony, they also facilitated the lumber trade through immigration to Canada, such that the transportation of lumber was paid for. Thus in Canada?s earlier years, Canadian loyalty to Britain increased, since apparently Canada?s well-being depended on Britain's."

Changing Behavior, 2002.
This paper discusses psychological theories for methods of changing behavior and then chronicles the author?s attempt to change her own behavior by using a process of positive reinforcement and adhering to a Pavlovian model of conditioning.

Abstract
The paper states that behavior modification is simply learning. The author discusses and compares Pavlovian and Operant conditioning and Positive and Negative Reinforcement. The paper refers to various reinforcement strategies: Systematic desensitization, aversion therapy (reciprocal inhibition) and biofeedback. The author details her experiment using positive reinforcement (buying a CD) to learn new behaviors in regards to caffeine consumption. She noticed problems of physical addiction.
From the Paper
"Pavlovian conditioning is in fact a type of learning. Indeed, it is perhaps the most famously documented type of learning that there is. It is difficult indeed to imagine that there exists a college student anywhere in the Western Hemisphere who has not heard the story of how Ivan Pavlov came up with the idea of teaching his dog to associate the sound of a ringing bell with the introduction of food. (We all know the ending of this story: Pavlov was able to make his dog salivate in anticipation of being fed whenever he heard the meal-time bell ? and even after Pavlov no longer followed up the bell with food the dog continued to salivate for a number of repetitions of the experiment.)
This is the way in which Pavlovian learning always works: An individual (a dog, a human, a chimp ? and even some non-mammalian species) is given a certain stimulus to which it responds consistently."

Global Crossing, 2005.
A discussion of the collapse of Global Crossing, a company interlinked with Enron.
1,878 words (approx. 7.5 pages), 7 sources, MLA, £ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The Global Crossing case is only one of many recent instances of corporations conning investors by pretending to be more financially strong than they are and then cheating those same investors by going bankrupt and leaving the investors out in the cold. This paper discusses how Global Crossing was linked to Enron and provides an analysis of the events leading up to the fold.
From the Paper
"Within the last few years, a number of ethical lapses have been revealed as various large companies have failed, showing that they have been using creative accounting methods to bolster a weak balance sheet. Global Crossing is one such company, raising questions about accounting practices and the lengths to which some company managers will go to create the illusion of success in the hope of attracting investment and fostering actual success to succeed the illusion. One result is a large number of burned investors, leading to increased demand for new standards and for law enforcement action to prevent the problem from recurring."

It also comments on specific responsibilities and on the boundaries that must be set with regard to the teacher-student relationship.
Outline:
Introduction
Role of Teacher
Responsibilities
Boundaries
5. Conclusions
From the Paper
"The role of the teacher also embraces an awareness of the different theories of learning in order to help inform their own practice. Reece and Walker (2003) refer to the main theoretical branches of how people learn - behaviorist, humanistic and cognitivism and suggests that teachers should not stick to just one model but be adaptable and decide which model might best suit their student as well as integrating different aspects of these models at different times for different subjects and for different learning styles."
