Abstract
The following paper describes each method in the article by Taylor-Heald, where three paradigms are identified as the traditional, the transitional and the student-oriented. Each of these paradigms is a model for teaching children the basic and fundamental concept of spelling. This paper examines how each method is utilized and also discusses Taylor-Heald's view on each of the methods. After looking at each of the methods separately, the writer examines, briefly, the major differences between the methods. It then discusses the implications of each of the methods, including how each method is used and the benefits of each method. This also includes looking at various other research studies that offer perspectives on the teaching of spelling. Finally the paper concludes by showing how the student-oriented approach does appear to be the most promising approach, just as Taylor-Heald suggests.
From the Paper
?The traditional paradigm, as the name suggests, is the main method of instruction that has been used in the American school system to teach spelling and also to teach the basics of language. The method is based on students being taught vocabulary in the form of words that do not relate to each other. These words are random and have no relationship to each other, or to anything else being taught to the students. The teacher gives these words to the students, with the students expected to memorize them and the students are tested on this at the end of the week.This approach assumes that students know nothing at the beginning and that all information must be given to them. This includes the idea that children have no knowledge of words, sounds or language.?

Man and Society, 2002.
A review of three pieces of literature that deal with man and his connection to the environment.

Abstract
This paper explores the relationship of human beings to the environment in which they live by reviewing three writers who approach the issue in different ways: Ray Bradbury in his novel "Fahrenheit 451", David Abram in his book "The Spell of the Sensuous", and Marshall McLuhan in his book "Understanding Media". Abram suggests that one of the reasons people were once in closer touch with nature was because they lived by an oral tradition rather than a written one. Ray Bradbury creates a society in which reading is outlawed and books are banned. McLuhan tends to agree mostly with Abrams ideas in his book.
From the Paper
"Abram looks to the state of mankind at some distant point in the past and suggests that one of the reasons people were once in closer touch with nature was because they lived by an oral tradition rather than a written one. He is not speaking only of writing but of many technological and social developments since that time, and he finds that these developments have taken us further and further from a close connection to the natural world such as once existed."

"Zami", 2002.
Discusses Audre Lorde's novel, "Zami: A New Spelling of My Name".

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Audre Lorde's 1982 book "Zami: A New Spelling of My Name" was called a "biomythography" by the author. The paper reviews this cross between a novel and a memoir based on Lorde's rendition of her growing up in Harlem, the daughter of West Indian immigrants and her coming of age as a Black, as a radical and as a lesbian in the 1950s. The paper discusses the themes of self-determination and survival and the women who shaped the author's life.
From the Paper
"One of the book's more fascinating descriptions is how Lorde's family dealt with their Black identity in what was virtually a white America. Until the age of 10, Lorde did not understand that she was not white, that she had a different skin color. Her parents had consciously decided to keep racism as far away from her as they could. Her family believed that the best way they could protect their children from racism was to pretend that it did not exist. To Lorde's parents, American racism was a new reality, one that they did not have to deal with in the West Indies."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the implementation of information technology and information systems (IT/IS) can be considered a major business decision. The paper explains that an important consideration management must always remember in implementing IT/IS is that IT/IS are business drivers and they exist - or co-exist - in business to support the overall strategic, tactical and operational objectives of the business. The paper also looks at various factors that can affect implementation such as strategy formulation,training plans and support strategies.
From the Paper
"As in all business endeavors and decisions, change management and social marketing plans should and must also be in place especially if the IT/IS implementation will eventually affect people - both employees and clients - and the way they do work or business. IT/IS implementations always demand a paradigm shift and some human resources may not be prepared to meet the new realities of the information age. The change management and social marketing plans contain processes and procedures that aim to inform, educate, enable and empower the human resource portion of IT/IS implementation of the importance of the endeavor.

From the Paper
"Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy built around the events which take place during one fantastic night in the forest. It is a play about the strange power of dreams--a power which can transform love to loathing, heaven to hell, and men to beasts. This paper will focus on the dream within the play and, more specifically, on the attitudes and judgments of the lovers, Bottom, Theseus, and Hippolyta toward the experience, as expressed in four passages which present their varying points of view.
The first of these passages, the conversation presenting the young lovers' reaction to the night's events (4.1.180-92), is brief but telling. Demetrius, the only one still under Puck's pansy-liquor spell, remains dazed and uncertain whether the dream has actually ended. He even goes so far as to ask the others.."

"SANTERIA: AN EXAMINATION OF A RELIGION AND ITS PRACTICES
Introduction
This research examines the Santeria religion and its practices. Throughout this examination, both similarities and differences between (1) Santeria as the religion is practiced in Cuba (where it developed) and (2) Santeria as the religion is practiced in Puerto Rico (one of the many other Latin American populations in which the religion became rooted) are identified and reviewed.
The Development of Santeria in Cuba and Puerto Rico
The origins of Santeria may be traced to the Yoruba people who are native to Nigeria (JAcobs, 1990, pp. 349-370). The Yoruba practiced a mythological, animist religion which made its ..."

Kesey: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, 1989.
Feminist critique that Kesey's book ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST makes Woman, in alliance with modern technology, the destroyer of masculinity & sensuous enjoyment.

From the Paper
"Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest has been a very popular work since it was first published, and many also know the story through the long-running theatrical version or the highly successful movie. A feminist critique of the novel would focus on the way the male characters relate to the few female characters. Some critics noted the poor image of women in the novel when it was first published, and this was long before the strains of feminist criticism developed or even what we today call feminism. A contemporary examination of the novel would show much about the novel's attitude toward women and about how Kesey expresses his own prejudices toward women in this book.
Julian Moynihan in The New York Review of Books wrote about the novel in 1964 and called it "a very beautiful and inventive book violated by a fifth-rate idea which made Woman, in alliance (...)"

Abstract
Historically, physicians have told nurses what to do and what not to do. Currently, legislators have that power. This paper discusses the lengthy legislative process and the dynamics of it. House Bill 935 was originally introduced in 1991 as Article 1 Chapter 21 in the Georgia Senate as Code Section 16-13-21. Representative Sue Burmeister is now sponsoring HB 935 to give new wording and annotation to the bill. The paper shows that the new legislation would allow advanced practice registered nurses to execute a verbal, written or electronic order for a drug, device, medical treatment or diagnostic study. Currently, nurse practitioners can phone in prescriptions in consultation with a physician.

From the Paper
"Most U.S. Citizens believe that physicians have always had the main authority to prescribe medications. However, when researching the background of prescribing drugs it is evident this is not true. Physicians carry a sense of ownership pertaining to prescriptive authority. History is evidence that authority to prescribe has not always solely been the responsibility physician. The market physicians have today on prescribing medications came about without little or no resistance even though others are fully capable of this practice.(Ryser, 1999)."

The Names of God, 2004.
This paper discusses that, in the Bible, well over seventy different names are recorded for God, depending on the variants of spelling and tense or combinations of modifiers as representing their own titles.

Abstract
This paper explains that, throughout the original text of the Bible, God is referred to by different names and titles; but, in English translations, all of these various labels tend to be telescoped down into just a handful of names, and, in this process, it seems probable that some of the philosophical, anthropological, and theological significance of the original words were lost. The author points out that both YHWH and Elohim are translated generically as 'God', which means that, if there is a difference between these two, then it is inaccessible to those who do not investigate the original texts. The paper relates that the other name most common to the texts is 'Adonai', which might generically translate as 'Lord'; it is believed that this name of God was not so much originally attached to the deity, but was rather written into the text as a placeholder for the unspeakable name of God.
From the Paper
"Even the name Adon (or Adonai as the plural form) appears to have some connection with more pagan roots. ?The name of the Egyptian [solar] deity Aten transliterates into the Hebrew word Adon. Adon, which is translated by English Bibles as "the Lord" (and Adonai, translated as "my Lord") is used along with Jehovah (Yhwh) in the Bible as the exclusive personal names of God. ...Whenever the written name Jehovah (Yhwh) was to be read out loud, Adon (Aten) was voiced instead.? (Pope) So it seems possible that the naming of God may have occasionally been related to titles drawn from other Pantheons -- particularly when the borrowed name referred to primary deities. Aten, as a perfect example, was a name used for the solar deity by the first Pharaoh to embrace monotheism, so one can see how it might be fitting for the monotheistic Jewish deity as well. In fact, ?Psalm 104 is an embellishment of the Hymn to the Aten which was found by archaeologists at the city of Akhetaten,? (Pope) and it seems possible then that since the Bible is divinely inspired by God Himself that the One True God was indeed speaking with and inspiring the ancient Egyptian king."

The Egyptian Book of the Dead, 2001.
A look at this collection of magic spells and formulas.

Abstract
This paper discusses the "Book of the Dead", an ancient Egyptian guide to the afterlife. The paper also discusses the archeological finds associated with it and the papyri of the book itself.
From the Paper
"The Book of the Dead has been erroneously considered by enthusiasts of ancient Egyptian civilization to be comparable to the Torah, the Old and New Testaments, or the Qu'ran as an example of revealed religious truth?in short, to have been the "Bible" of the ancient Egyptians. A far better modern comparison would be with the older form of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, which was also a compilation of texts and prayers and contained spells to ward off evil influences."

Dyslexia, 1989.
An examination of the definition and symptoms of Dyslexia. Focusing on memory, mirror writing, information organizing, spelling errors and possible causes.

From the Paper
"Although the term dyslexia is frequently used by doctors, psychological researchers and linguists to describe children with language disabilities, there is still lack of consistent agreement concerning its causes and characteristics. In general, however, dyslexia is defined as a "disorder in children who, despite conventional classroom experience, fail to attain the language skills of reading, writing, and spelling proportional to their intellectual abilities" (Gaddes, 1980, 222).
Dyslexic children are often described as clumsy, forgetful, disorganized, and hyperactive by their families, teachers and peers (Savage, 1985, 222). Along with these descriptions of the general character, it has also been observed that dyslexic children make characteristic reading, writing and spelling errors."

"The Grapes of Wrath", 2002.
A book review "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck, focusing on the social conditions of the time.
1,365 words (approx. 5.5 pages), 1 source, MLA, £ 31.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how "Grapes of Wrath? focuses on the lives of migrant workers, poverty, and social stratification during the dry spells within the Dust Bowl region (Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado), which is brought about by droughts and dust storms in these states. It explains how the novel utilizes the social aspects of America?s history through the depiction of the lives of Tom Joad and his family, who migrated to California in order to find work and a living that Oklahoma had denied them because of the dry spells plaguing the state.
From the Paper
"The historical context of the novel is also related to the author?s motivation in writing the novel: John Steinbeck aims to depict the lives of California migrant workers during the 1930s as one that are dictated by social stratification caused by poverty and increasing urbanization of the Californian state. This is an important message that Steinbeck extends to his readers through the lives of the Joad family and random thoughts of the author about social issues and controversies happening and is related to the novel?s story. Although the bulk of the novel?s content concentrates on the lives of Tom Joad and other migrant workers in California, the primary focus of this book review will be on the social implications of John Steinbeck?s ?The Grapes of Wrath.?"
