...In conclusion, this research project was conducted to show how important and influential oppression is. Oppression hits a broad spectrum of people, but the main focus here was that there is a lack of research on oppression against Deaf people. Since most of my research was done on the topic of oppression itself, I mostly learned by previous knowledge as well as the interview with the interpreter that was held. I also was able to research the empathetic feelings interpreters feel. The research paper was intended to talk about the struggles that interpreters have with oppressing, but there is no research done on that topic. Another topic that I have concluded is that oppression is everywhere. Oppressors will keep finding reasons to oppress, and...

...Research Paper Microsoft and FOSS 4/23/2012 IT 302 Research Paper Free Open Source Software also known as FOSS has fared pretty good since the Microsoft posted a high-level summary of 235 patents that were allegedly violated in 2006. Since this scenario happen FOSS has grown and partner up with big name companies. In an interview that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said that ”We live in a world where we honor, and support the honoring of, intellectual property, FOSS patrons are going to have to play by the same rules as the rest of the business. What is fair is fair." Today FOSS is still going strong because of its high quality and because the most important reason it is FREE. Software that is free is good to anybody. It’s good to individuals that used open source applications on their smart devices, to large companies which use these applications for daily activity for their need in their company. FOSS is great for everyone because it can be shared, copied, changed and of course downloaded. Everybody now in days have smart phones that carry FOSS operating systems. An everyday person likes FOSS instead of paying five dollars to 30 dollars for applications from apple, when if you have an Android phone it’s free. FOSS is not going anywhere just for the reason being that it’s free. Since 2006 big corporate companies have been changing their philosophy on open source software. Major corporations like IBM, Oracle and Google have been using FOSS...

...Liminality and Communitas as new sources of Social Capital in Business Relationship Dynamics Dr Annmarie Ryan, Department of Management and Marketing, Kemmy Business School, University of Limerick, Ireland. Competitive Paper Abstract In this paper I develop a framework for the study of business relationships through the lens of liminality. This is achieved by discussing the work of Turner in relation to rites and rituals and their role in society. Those dimensions of the concept of liminality and communitas that are important for this study therefore include: that it involves interaction outside everyday lived experience; that liminality is constructed and is neither self-evident or naturally occurring; involves the transformation re-discovery and re-appropriation of every day spaces, through separation, or divestiture process, and subsequently (re)incorporated into the everyday through processes of investiture and importantly, incorporates a shared experience that can impact on relations between those who share the experience beyond the event itself. The concept of liminality is offered as a way to enable researchers to understand the interactions between managers in relationships in a new way. The focus of this paper is therefore threefold: 1/ to expand upon the concept of creating, holding and intensifying liminal space and 2/consideration of the effect of this on the organisation and 3/ reflection on this on-going entering into and leaving of liminal space...

...this paper, I will discuss the policy of America during the Vietnam conflict and how this resulted in the unnecessary Vietnam War. I will discuss why the U.S. thought the domino theory would suit the American policies during this time period. Also, I will analyze why the domino effect was not suited well for America. America thought that if communism were to takeover Vietnam, then it would eventually leak out into the surrounding region. This was incorrect and in this paper, I will discuss why it was invalid information. This paper will also examine why American policymakers exaggerated the stakes of the Vietnam War and why this led to unnecessary involvement in the Vietnam conflict. Even as the US realized that the stakes had been exaggerated and that the domino theory was implausible, they continued their involvement in the war. As for sources, I will utilize the sources provided for us by the teacher. These sources are Chapter 10 from LeFeber and History in Dispute: Was US intervention in Vietnam justified? These sources will help me explain why the US’ tried to base their policies off of the domino theory and why this was not the best policy. Also, I will conduct my own research using the online database JSTOR. I will also utilize the Pentagon Papers, a source I found online. Together, all these sources will help me formulate and discuss my viewpoint as to whether or not the Vietnam War was a result of the wrong judgments of American policymakers. Based off my research, I believe...

...4-MAT Review Paper Juli J. McFarland Liberty University Summary In his book Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity, David Entwistle introduces the complicated connection between psychology and theology. The connection between psychology and theology is a topic of great argument. (Entwistle, 2010) Some scholars believe it is a great idea to connect psychology and theology, while others believe it would be harmful to do so. Entwistle focuses on the similarities of psychology and theology, instead of their differences. Psychology focuses on finding the cause of behavior through biological and environmental methods as well as past experiences. Theology focuses on the cause of behavior being linked to sin. Psychology focuses on healing through theories. Theology focuses on healing through Christ. Even though psychology and theology have different methods they have similar goals to achieve overall wellness. Entwistle stated that both psychology and theology focus on the cause of behavior and healing. (Entwistle, 2010) Psychology and theology also both contain truth. Entwistle believes “All truth is God’s truth.” (Entwistle, 2010) Psychology and theology are not so different and both can be combined to help achieve overall wellness in the lives of others. Entwistle made a point that theology and science have been embattled throughout history. Entwistle explains that how a person views the world determines how they view the truth in their lives. Entwistle also emphasizes...

For further information contact the UOW Library: research-pubs@uow.edu.au Actor Network Theory Abstract Actor-Network Theory (ANT) emerged from science and technology studies, though it was inspired by grounded theory and semiotics. In the 1970s, Bruno Latour (a French anthropologist and social scientist) and Steve Woolgar (a British sociologist) undertook ethnographic field work at the Salk Institute in California. This research was inspired by grounded theory and Latour and Woolgar approached their study of work in the endocrinology laboratory as if they were anthropologists observing a hitherto unknown and strange set of practices. In other words, they did not fit their observations into any preconceived notions of scientific method, or how science 'should' be done. The resulting, highly influential book Laboratory Life: The Social Construction of Scientific Facts(1979, re-released...

...Death in Its Many Forms Abstract The many forms of death will examined and discussed in this paper. From the study of Thanatology which pertains to death and how it is feared by many people of all ages. Also involving the theorists who debated and studied on this topic. Along with that there are religious perceptions of death and how one’s soul will live in the afterlife or take the form of another being. It will also discuss how people grieve over a deceased loved one and how to cope with those feelings. At the same time, this paper will give examples of how people deal with death in the movie Remember Me. Death in Its Many Forms Death is often seen as sad event or even too scary to think about. The views and traditions of death are very different around the world. Some believe there is an afterlife while others believe in reincarnation. There also many ways to mourn or grieve over the loss of a loved one. Even though there are many different ways to look at death, there three that stand out the most; thanatology, religious views, and bereavement. Thanatology The word thanatology actually comes from the Greek word thanatos, meaning death (New World Encyclopedia Contributers). Thanatology is the actual study of death and dying of the social and emotional aspects itself. Also involving the experience of the deceased’s loved ones and how the deceased’s life was celebrated. Nonetheless, Thanatology isn’t sad but it is the acceptance of dying and reaffirmation of...

...David Hanson Integration of Psychology and Theology COUN506-B15 Liberty University Dr. Wayne Wilson Spring 2014 Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity Author – David N. Entwistle Abstract The book “Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity” by David Entwistle, is a tightly packed explanation of the relationship between Christianity (theology) and psychology. Through most of history there has been many a heated debate over these two topics being integrated. Entwistle presents information that shows how the two are both designed by God and that God is the author of all truth (Entwistle, 150). Entwistle attempts to walk the reader through various investigated claims and the tensions that ensue from these arguments. We typically go through life looking through our own lens of how things should be based on our own worldview. How we see things and interpret them are filtered through our limited understanding of the world. “Worldviews function somewhat like eyeglasses” (Ibid, 56). This concept is held to throughout the book. The author wants the reader to understand how people learn and determine their view of truth. Entwistle introduces the term epistemology. This is “an exercise of intellectual virtue” (Ibid, 76). These virtues include honesty, humility, respectfulness, compassion, etc. He points out the necessity of these virtues in order to better help us evaluate ourselves. Entwistle presents...

...The pros and cons of the use of the internet for educational purposes Starting out in 1996 as a research project, Google (a huge searching engine) grew into most users’ favorite site for searching the internet. Last year, Google made 29 billion dollars. That is approximately 929 dollars per second. Google is a good example for the age we are living in: we live in an age where we have access to more information and at a faster rate than any generation before us. There are both positive and negative side effects that come along with the use of internet for educational purposes. Keeping both the positive and the negative side effects in mind can help educators to evaluate whether or not their students should have access to the internet and, of course, to what extent. Due to sites such as Google, students can do research way easier and faster that it has ever been. I myself, for example, had not done any research in books before I started writing my final paper. This can be considered either as a positive side as as a negative side of the use of internet for educational purposes. Students have access to a lot more information by means of the internet than before. But this can be problematic if students are not able to differentiate between reliable and unreliable sources of information. Some sites do provide valuable good resources for students while others have lots of inexactitudes on them. Internet also allows contacting people. Students can now easily have contact with other...

...Germany was very familiar with the lay of land, having already fought there four years prior. It was safe for the Germans to assume that Allied Forces had become complacent. Six months prior, the Allies scored a major victory both morally and tactically by taking Normandy. American newspapers were predicting an end to the war was all but assured. A sudden and surprising large-scale attack, causing significant casualties could cause despair and morale issues amongst men, especially coupled with the already harsh winter weather. Timing greatly affected the outcome. If Germany was not slowed by fuel shortages and the inability to capture American fuel, their advance through Bastogne may not have been slowed enough for GEN Patton’s Third Army arrival to reinforce the Paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division and the Army Air Corp to provide air drops of necessary supplies. Germany’s ability to roll through Bastogne and capture Antwerp...

...they are. This issue is important to me because it is relevant to my life. I am a lesbian and I have a girlfriend that I would like to marry someday. Not only me, but other gay Americans, such as Ellen DeGeneres, may want to marry their partners one day as well, but cannot because the government will not allow it. I think that gay marriage is a good topic for me to research for the entire semester, because I know that it is a major issue in the U.S and people are fighting for or against it constantly. This topic is very dear to me and relevant to my life, so I definitely have the passion to write about it for an entire semester. Even before I was with a girl I was interested in this issue. I have had gay friends all throughout my life and always thought that it was unfair that them and their partners could not legally get married even though they had been together for years. I have always been a supporter of the gay community and a supporter of same-sex marriage. What I already know about the topic is that some religious groups, such as the Westboro Baptist Church, and political parties, such as the Republicans, are against gay marriage. The gay community, liberals, and other political parties, like the Democrats, are mostly in support of gay marriage. I also know that gay marriage is legal in only some states, a few being New York, Massachusetts, and Vermont. It is also legal in the city of San Francisco, CA. My knowledge about this issue comes from previous...

My paper talks about the aftermath of World War II in Germany. After World War I, the German government was facing thousands of difficult problems as society search for someone to blame for the defeat in the First World War. Extremists from all sides sent threats to revolts. The extreme inflation causes thousands of Germans to have faith in the German government. Hitler gains control of the Nazi party in the 1920s and organization, which is anti-Semitic. Hitler gains popular political credibility by placing the responsibility on the Jews for Germany’s defeat in the First World War. Hitler also blames Jews for Germany’s economic problems. What is less understood are the political conditions associated with the rise of Hitler and fascism? Hitler...
