...What kinds of family tree are you interested in doing. Many people want a very detailed record with dates and facts and names. Others enjoy the stories that go along with each generation. Some may have been exaggerated over the years but are still fun to hear about. Families tend to gossip, that is nothing new. Your job as family historian is to try to separate fact from fiction but still keep it interesting. You will have to acquire quite a few skills in your new position. Just the complying of all the paper work and filing it, then filling out your charts and templates to keep all your information organized. That is where sometimes is worth investing in a genealogy software program that can help you with all your research. What ever kind you end up with is entirely up to you. You should decide from the beginning of how deep you want to dig and how far back you intend to go. When it is completed, what form you want it to be in is another question. You can have it on book form, which is nice because you can leave it out for everyone to see. Of course, in the electronic age we live in, you can make it on a DVD and send out to your relatives. You can add voice and music and make a mini...

...however, he wrote that no one understood that properly upon its publication so he followed up with some explanation. The explanation came in the work Beyond Good and Evil and the work we are reading, On the Genealogy of Morals. The latter work is the one most structured like the philosophic thought of the enlightenment – more treatise-like. So, hopefully we shall be able to uncover a little Nietzsche without drifting into the abyss. This essay, like the last two, is designed to focus you on a single question regarding Nietzsche’s thoughts in On The Genealogy of Morals. You are to explore to a deeper level any question that is raised for you by the work, using Nietzsche’s work. In other words, no external “research” is expected, but if it will help your exploration, it is allowed. I would add a caution that this is least likely to help on Nietzsche because of the plethora of extremely bad Nietzsche interpretations floating in the cloud. As with both the Machiavelli and Rousseau essay, it is important to note that this is NOT a summary and it is NOT a review. Nietzsche repeated in your own words or a book review of On The Genealogy of Morals is not the purpose of this essay. The purpose is to achieve a deeper understanding of Nietzsche’s thought, as expressed in On The Genealogy of Morals, than would be obtained by a casual reading. There must be a question you pursue to a deeper point and since there is a question, there must be an answer provided. The answer may have some qualifications...

...have occurred elsewhere and sparked large scale investigation and media scrutiny. In all of these corporate failures, the level or absence of disclosure has had a lot to do with the unexpectedness of the collapse. This paper analyses the HIH collapse within a Foucaldian framework to demonstrate the need for accountants and auditors to work together so as to avoid criticism of the profession arising from unexpected corporate failures in the future. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this paper is to analyse the collapse of HIH and the role of its auditor, Andersen, within a Foucauldian framework encompassing archeology and genealogy of power and knowledge. The mythical Jedi force is used as a metaphor for power attained by the accounting profession through its claim to superior knowledge and skill to be applied in the public interest. Accordingly, the force includes professional ethics. The dark side is used as a metaphor for the collapse of HIH because accounting standards and practices, the accounting profession's power base, were used to conceal impending collapse resulting in the escalation of losses to policy holders, creditors and the general public. Regulatory responses to the Royal Commission into the collapse of HIH are viewed for purposes of this paper as the return of the Jedi in that the Corporate Law Economic Reform Programme (CLERP 9) proposals are aimed at strengthening corporate governance including auditor...

...Two sets of research will be covered in this paper first we have prevaricator, John D’Agata with his research article Lifespan of a Fact and second Rebecca Skloot book/research, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. The purpose of this paper is to detail the day and night between the two pieces, the literary analysis and the overall attitude felt by the authors. Starting off from a quote out of D'Agata's article "I'm not writing for public office. I'm trying to write something that's interesting to read.” That's D'Agata summed up in one sentence. He is merely writing for entertainment and sport. Not interested in the truth in the least but how he can bend the truth to fit his story so it sounds good. While on the other hand Skloot gives a nice story in chronological order. Not only that but she gives us history of the time period in which she is investigating. She also gives a nice genealogy of Lacks life and family. This is something not found in D'Agata's research, this is actual facts about the person being researched....

...“Salem Possessed: The Social Origins of Witchcraft,” written by Paul Boyer and Stephan Nissenbaum, is a nonfiction book about the Salem witchcraft trials and how they came to light during the time of 1692. Boyer and Stephan wrote the book after taking an undergraduate research class at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst that required them to research a topic using “extended use of primary sources” (Salem preface). The book incorporates the religious, social, economic, and demographic factors that contribute to the accusations of witchcraft rather than focus on the witchery. Their stance was to prove, using extensive research and records, that the Salem witchcraft trials were not really based on the actuality of sorcery but that of the...

...describe provincial to themselves, in any event for the original. It is regularly comprehended that pre-adulthood can be a period when youngsters endeavor to accommodate their own particular goals and needs with the wishes of their guardians. While some teenagers get past this time of time without numerous issues, others have a tendency to experience numerous negative impacts. It is conceivable that the guardian's part in the relationship may have influence in the improvement of the generations’ conduct and disposition towards others. Social values, for example, the American Samoa and Western Samoa accentuation on reliance and family concordance might impact the kind of child parenting practices these generations may decide to embrace one. Research on more helpful child parenting practices is more constrained in spite of the fact that the work that has been carried out again recommends that parents are more prone to be included and sustaining with their kids when they report having encountered the same practices from their own parents during childhood (Chen and Kaplan, 2001; Simons et al., 1993; Cairns et al., 1998). The parenting practice issues to the education life of parents and their kids are different from the time they were in school. I interview one parent about how their education life similar and different from the generation life we are now facing. She said in their day when they are in school, they use hard flat rock board to write on...

...this example, in terms of veteran affairs, and that of gender norms, is that trauma here becomes a quasi-scientific metric for the state, it becomes something that affirms power on the political subject qua subject of an institutional framework and its procedures. Moreover, this shows that the constructed metric, and for such the study of society plays an important role in the genealogical stage, which goes against the opposers of critique (only as deconstruction and reconstruction through pure reason, such as Latour), and indicates that we should take seriously the social sciences in this affirmation. To this, we need to add to things: first, we need to specify that the critical attitude should be maintained towards the methodology of research, as bias at this level may go undetected (e.g. racial biases in measurement, or for the case of trauma, selectively stating that trauma may have been due to preconditions); second, we need not forgo that which is difficult to measure, such as sentiments (e.g. feeling of unease towards gender expectations)...

...The audience could also be anyone who has grandparents and uses computers. The essay’s purpose is to convince computer users to reach out to their grandparents through more traditional methods of communication. The author wants her audience to write on paper instead of email. Doing this, she argues, will reach the elderly on a level familiar and comforting to them. I wouldn’t change much in terms of the audience , but the purpose could be made a little more focuses and specific Thesis ,topic sentences , and paragraphs:I think the thesis is a little muddled.It seemed more implicit as opposed to an explicit thesis. If I had to pick one sentence that’s thesis , it would be the first sentence.The topic sentences are strong , because they seem to summarize what each paragraph says. The strongest one is “ A letter gives your grandparents the real thing.” The paragraphs have some strong examples that illustrate the author’s points.

Introduction Through my research, it is my intent to identify significant points within the history of the Babylion Empire, including its origins, development, expansion, eventual decline, and why it became a focal point of many of the major events of the Old Testament. From the Great Empire of Akkad, Babylon became a major seat of learning, culture, and technology. More than simply a city-state of defiance, and sinful practices, Babylon’s influence, very often viewed through a negative scholarly lens, shaped the history of Asia Minor, Northern Africa, and the world when approached from a biblical standpoint. As such, Babylon remains a critical, powerful nation in relation to its nation-state of Israel, and Old Testament history.

...Care Theory Compare and Contrast Paper Jean Watson’s Theory of human caring is based on transpersonal relationships and developing a caring environment that offers the development potential while allowing the person to choose the best course of action. Through interactions with others we learn how to recognize ourselves in others. Watson believes that through these interactions humanity is preserved. John Paley’s article A Slave Morality: Nietzchean themes in nursing ethics criticizes Watson’s theory that caring is central to nursing. The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast John Paley’s article to Jean Watson’s Commentary on Shattle M (2004) Nurse-patient interaction: A review of the literature. A discussion of Watson’s background and care theory; John Paley’s background, and a brief discussion Friedich Nietzschen’s major philosophical beliefs. Jean Watson’s background Jean Watson was born in West Virginia in 1940. She graduated from the University of Colorado where she earned her BSN, MS, and in 1973 her PhD. Dr. Watson is widely published and has received many awards and honors. She is a distinguished professor of nursing and endowed chair in Caring Health Science.
