Abstract
This paper explores how nannies and other childcare workers can influence the child's development of gender role socialization. It also addresses class/economic differences between the nanny and parents that can influence the child's later beliefs. It concentrates on the 'social construction' theory of gender role formation rather than the biological, although both are discussed.

Abstract
The paper discusses the possibility of developing a robotic nanny whose cognitive processes and behaviors are based on the sound and provable theories of J. R. Anderson. The paper analyzes Anderson's ACT theory of cognition, which has been used to model and teach aviation science and math, and cognitive science. ACT also has real-world practical applications such as the creation of a fully-functional robot nanny. The paper shows why parents can trust "Harriet", who operates in accordance with ACT principles of cognition, to help them take care of a young child of three years of age. The paper details how the robot's ACT system deals with crises, with rational and objective criteria based on perceptions and pattern recognitions. The paper concludes that although the robot doesn't always make the right decisions, she learns over time to act in accordance with her main goal: taking care of the baby.

Wrenches in the Robot's Brain: The ACT Response to the Unexpected
Problem: Bob Swallows Some Dish Soap when his Mother is at the Store
From the Paper
"The duties of a nanny include feeding, bathing, changing diapers, reading stories, interactive playing, holding and carrying, and putting to sleep. I will describe a few of these to illustrate how ACT works to make Harriet an ideal robotic nanny. Harriet is "always on," and receives input from the environment in terms of visual, audio, and tactile information. The baby in each of these situations will be called Bob. Bob is three years old. He can talk and vocalizes his needs as best he can. Harriet has been a nanny for Bob for a few months, so her Declarative Memory and her Production Memory contain some information that will guide her decisions in the following everyday situations."

Abstract
This paper examines the phenomenon of the globalization of the lives of women around the world and on the communities from which they came. It discusses the sociological and economic reasons for this migration. The paper also discusses the tone and writing style of the book. The author of the paper concludes with a personal opinion on the topic and the book itself.
From the Paper
"The consequences of globalization on women, and of migrant women on existing social and economic institutions, are vast. Furthermore, the implications of women's migratory labor patterns affect receiving as well as sending countries. In "Love and Gold," Hochschild describes the trend as reflecting traditional, or more recognizable, forms imperialism. "That openly coercive, male-centered imperialism, which persists today, was always paralleled by a quieter imperialism in which women were more central," (26). Now that much of the developing world has already been plundered for its natural resources, female labor remains a vibrant and thriving economic frontier. Service professions, whether legal and legitimate like housekeeping and childcare or illegal and illegitimate like the sex trade, provide a bustling form of trade between first and third world nations."

Abstract
This paper discusses the social impact of robots on children, particularly in terms of how the child relates to the robotic nanny, communicates and socializes.

From the Paper
"Technological advancement has played an integral role in society and is continuing to shape culture and society in the 21st century. Some experts suggest that technological advancement is directed by social change. In other words, society will "step up to the plate" in times of technological challenges (i.e. the stone age and the invention of the wheel). As technology advances, innovative computerized products will become more readily available to the public as the need for living assistance increases due to the necessity for dual income earning family structures of the millennium."

Abstract
This paper examines how Janie Crawford, an African-American woman, the main character of Zora Neale Hurston's "Their Eyes Were Watching God, strives all her life to find her own voice and self-realization". In particular, it focuses on the roles that Janie's Nanny, Logan, Jody, Tea Cake, and Pheoby, play Janie's life and how they affect her identity development either positively or negatively.
From the Paper
"Janie's grandmother, whom she refers to as "Nanny" takes the position as Janie's guardian. Nanny not only spoils Janie, but also makes life choices for her. Nanny is old, and she only wants the best for her grandchild, for she knows that the world is a cruel place. Nanny makes the mistake of not allowing Janie to learn anything on her own. Nanny, who was enslaved most of her lifetime, told Janie that a woman can only be happy when she marries someone who can provide her wealth, property, and security. Nanny knew nothing about love since she never experienced it and believed that love is unnecessary for her as well as for Janie. Grandma makes the decisions which she believe to be right, not the decisions which Janie wants. "

Abstract
This paper outlines the five major filtering software products, and conducts a discussion of their pros and cons. The paper assesses how, when, or even if these filters should be utilized in schools or public libraries. The paper also attempts to answer whether filtering is unconstitutional censoring; whether public institutions have the right -- or the duty -- to filter; whether the companies that produce filtering software are truly objective; and whether there are better ways to keep minors from accessing adult material.
Abstract
I. Overview
II. Filtering Software
1. Cyber Patrol
2. Surf Watch
3. Net Nanny
4. CyberSitter
5. BESS
III. Is Filtering Interfering with "Free Speech" in Libraries and Schools?
IV. Who Are the "Guardians" of Morality on the Internet?
V. Some Conclusions
From the Paper
"Today's internet provides access for all kinds of information, from useful to salacious. Access is available to anyone with the knowledge of how to use a computer. Some of the information available for mature audiences in various web sites ought to be restricted to adults. There are five major software suppliers of filters that block unwanted information and make it unavailable to children. The problems of installing such filtering software in public locations, such as schools and libraries has brought a spirited defense of First Amendment rights. The problems are not that materials might be "censored" and unavailable to minors,. But who should do the filtering. The government has passed a "Communications Decency Act". However, the on-going arguments to be presented in the body of this research paper is whether the government has a right (or the power) to censor materials that should, properly, be the responsibility of individual parents."

Abstract
The work, "Having Our Say" by Sarah and Elizabeth Delany, is one of the most foundational works expressing black American values through modern oral history techniques. This paper shows that many of those who have said and done extraordinary things in extraordinary times are not artists and writers, but everyday people with a simple set of values passed down to them by their times and the most influential people in their lives, their parents. The paper shows that the thoughts and expressions of value and quiet perseverance of the Delany sisters are a direct reflection of the words, actions, and thoughts of their loving and wise parents, Nanny James Logan Delany and Henry Beard Delany.
From the Paper
"Mr. and Mrs. Delany challenged their circumstances daily while still making sure they protected themselves and their children. In one memorable passage in the work the Delany sisters comment of the way in which their parents referred to one another. They called each other Mr. and Mrs. Delany, not because they felt the need to be overly formal or pretentious but because, as the sisters put it, people of color were referred to by their first names almost exclusively in public because, ?It was a way of treating them with less dignity.? (9) "

'Their Eyes Were Watching God', 2006.
An understanding of the construct of race in the novel 'Their Eyes Were Watching God' by Zora Neale Hurston.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this paper, the racial construct of the 'Their Eyes Were Watching God' by Zora Neale Hurston relies on slave history and the white hegemonic society that continually oppresses Janie. Janie plays a central role as she tries to raise herself to higher social spheres, but is often thwarted due to the economic and social limitations that white people impart upon her. Her marriages set the pace of plot, which antagonizes Nanny's desperate urge to deny Janie her own life, as she often reflects on horrors of slavery.
From the Paper
"This literary study will examine the racial construct of the early 20th century within the novel: Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. In many ways, racism plays a large part in the way that Janie relates to the men in her life, as her marriages continually struggle beneath the oppression of a white hegemonic society. The racial construct in the novel is social and economic, as Janie has a difficult time finding stability in her life due the affects of racism. In essence, this literary study will examine the racial construct of this novel within the early 20th century. Janie Crawford is a woman that tells her life story to a close friend, Pheoby."

Abstract
Mrs. Doubtfire is a movie about a man who dresses as a woman and passes as a nanny so that he can be closer to his children following an ugly divorce. By examining the first scene, this paper explores the social values being portrayed in the movie. These include the well-being of children, continuity in the character's children's lives and self-sacrifice.
From the Paper
"The remarkable fact about the movie, ?Mrs. Doubtfire,? is that there are no villains. Although the story centers on a divorce, an unemployed father, Daniel, torn from his three children, and his ex-wife, Miranda, being romanced by a handsome and successful old flame, Stu, no one is to blame, no one is the bad guy. The better qualities of each character shine through the trauma and dysfunction that this family finds itself. Thus, by concentrating on the positive aspects of the relationships, the film teaches that love is the one thing that makes a family, no matter the distance, lifestyle, or circumstance."
