From the Paper
"According to her teachers, Joanne is always prompt in handing in her assignments, and usually does what she is told. She seems to have yet fully separated her independent wants and desires from the adults in her life, particularly her teachers and her mother. Joanne is quite responsible, though and often fulfills a leadership position, a position the teachers say they encourage her to aspire to, because of her apparently confident persona. They describe her as trustworthy and reliable and mature, even though her lack of independence in her actions, and her deferential behavior towards adults is not necessarily mature in a developmental sense."

Abstract
This paper discusses Joanne Greenberg's semi-autobiographical novel which tackles issues surrounding mental illness. The author's intentions in writing the novel are outlined, including the importance of the patient's relationship to the therapist, the relationship with family and the humanization of mental illness.
From the Paper
"Deborah Blau, the protagonist in I Never Promised You A Rose Garden, creates a world called Yr as one of the symptoms of her disease. Yr is a tranquil haven from the real world until Deborah undergoes treatment for her illness. While she tackles her issues in the hospital under the kind and skilled guidance of her therapist Dr. Clara Fried, Deborah is forced to confront the painful emotions that have haunted her throughout her life. These issues and her family background are offered by Greenberg not as an excuse or cause for Deborah?s illness, but to provide context and garner empathy. Throughout the novel, the points of view of Deborah?s parents and her sister are examined, also to provide a greater understanding of schizophrenia as it affects not only the patient but also all who care for her. The novel ends on an uplifting but realistic note: Deborah has begun to trust the healing process even as she recognizes that the process will be no ?rose garden.?"

Abstract
The paper reveals that the majority of preventable medical errors are due to inadequate staffing of registered nurses. This paper provides a critique of the study performed by Joanne Ritter-Teitel that sought to demonstrate that an increase in patient safety levels corresponded to an increase in the nurse:patient ratio.
From the Paper
"The majority of preventable medical errors are due to inadequate staffing of Registered Nurses. Wilson (2004) believes that adequate RN staffing, versus nursing support services, is necessary in order to maintain quality patient care. Wilson (2004) cites statistics as high as a 7% increased mortality rate for each patient above the 4 to 1 ratio and that preventable medical errors cost an average of $17 billion per year. With this problem in mind, and the growing number of state legislative bodies either enacting mandatory nurse:patient ratios or currently debating the topic, the current study sought to contribute to the body of existing literature demonstrating an increase in patient safety levels with a corresponding increase in the nurse:patient ratio."

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of chocolate and its role in the globalization of food.

Table of Contents:
Introduction
Brief History of Chocolate
Brief Synopsis of the Film Chocolat
How Chocolate is the Thematic Link Between Old and New
From the Paper
"Josephine, the battered wife undergoes a transformation as well, a defining rebirth, as the new owner of the cafe, which she renames for Armande and after her husband has fled when the Conte tells him to leave, after his admission of starting the fire on Roux's boat, and potentially murdering innocent souls in the name of the Comte. (Mcfadden 126) The value of tradition, based upon Vianne's history and beliefs are demonstrated by her utilization of 2,000 year old recipes as well as by the grandeur of her chocolaterria, decorated with Mayan symbolism and relics. The theology and symbolism of chocolate comes full circle within the film as it works its magic, through Vianne's hands and transforms the drabness of the village to a colorful and free representation of the loving and human nature of faith."

Abstract
This paper analyses Joanne Van Selm's working paper "European Refugee Policy: is There Such a Thing?". It discusses how "illegal immigrant", "asylum seeker", "refugee", "economic refugee" are all phrases that tend to create confusion in the minds of E.U. citizens. It looks at how the 25 Member-States barely have a common immigration policy, though they do have a few guidelines for a harmonisation of asylum policy. It is in this context, that the question of the existence of a European Refugee policy is discussed.
Outline:
Introduction
What Has Been Achieved in the EU so Far (From the Schengen Agreement to Now) Does Not Always Take the Right Direction Towards A Common Refugee Policy.
Implementing Agreements on Immigration, Asylum and Refugees in the EU: A Common Approach or 25 Approaches?
The Lack of Political Will of Fortress Europe Does Not Help Shaping a Common Refugee Policy
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The very way refugee issues are dealt with within the EU is counterproductive, in terms of defence of human rights. VAN SELM explains that "there are [...] more national civil servants [than EU civil servants] dealing with asylum and refugee policy. They are all within the most sovereign control-oriented ministries too (Justice and Home Affairs) [...] Since where you stand is influenced by where you sit, it seems natural that these policy makers would be more likely to guard national interest and defend national policy than to consider the situations in countries and regions around the world, and the most appropriate policy Europe as a whole could pursue in the interest of maintaining stability by guaranteeing protection to refugees." Part of this safeguarding of the national interest would also be the lack of funds granted to refugee issues. If it is true that some EU Member States do "use part of their own overseas development aid to assist refugees in emergency and protracted situations around the world" (p.18), VAN SELM notes that "this is rarely done in a systemic way." Countries like Malta spent their ODA on detained asylum seekers, hence having anything but a refugee policy."

"In this Sign", 2007.
A review of the book "In this Sign" by Joanne Greenberg.
1,045 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 1 source, MLA, £ 25.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the book "In this Sign" is about Janice and Abel who meet at a school for the deaf and dumb during the first half of the 20th century, before the acceptance of deaf culture in America. It looks at how the novel chronicles the changing world of American life, and the largely unchanging nature of American prejudice against the deaf.
From the Paper
"The school for the deaf, which also teaches the blind, is dirty, dim, and grim, and takes a patronizing attitude to the students. The nature couple's education highlights some of the assumptions about the deaf that run through the text. The deaf are assumed to be inferior versions of hearing persons, so they are forced to learn a method of communication that is a kind of parody of hearing communication, lip-reading, rather than the signing that comes so naturally and fluidly to the deaf. The deaf are grouped with persons with a variety of difficulties, rather than to have their uniqueness as a group acknowledged."

Interpretation/Conclusions
From the Paper
"Threats to internal validity normally are perceived as selection, history, maturation, testing, and instrumentation. Selection threats suggest that those who participated in the control or intervention group have characteristics that differ from those who were not included in the study. There is a possible selection bias given that student were from a school in an undisclosed area of the country, it is unknown whether these were rural or urban youth, from a public or private school or what other variables might affect their level of nutritional, health or independence awareness. History, or the events that happen to students during the course of the study which might affect results, could not be accounted for as all intervention took place in the school setting. Researchers acknowledged they were unable to control for social or family interventions that might run counter to their study goals. Instrumentation, maturation, dropout, and order effects were controlled by researchers directly or through statistical analysis for variance."
