Abstract
In this paper, the writer notes that in 2005 the NBC series "The Office" based an entire episode around the subject of sexual harassment. The writer discusses that although quite funny, the episode entitled "Sexual Harassment" was a glaring example of what is unacceptable behavior in the workplace. The writer then points out that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 made sexual harassment a form of sex discrimination that applies to employers with 15 or more employees. The wriiter also points out that the show is blatantly politically incorrect and was intentionally so in the episode entitled "Sexual Harassment. The writer concludes that the hope is that the incidence of such behavior will be less and less as supervisors and managers are educated on the subject, and as programs are implemented in the workplace to train all employees on the unacceptable practice of sexual harassment.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Stanley looks at Michael in disgust indicating the picture is of his daughter who goes to a catholic girl's school. Because Michael made this sexually oriented statement in front of other employees, this would constitute another form of verbal sexual harassment.
"Even the meeting on sexual harassment does not escape becoming sexual in nature. Darryl, an employee at the meeting points at the monitor where a training video is being shown and indicates he "banged" the girl in the video. Darryl is guilty of telling rumors about a person's personal sexual life and therefore has committed verbal sexual harassment."

Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between an image of a technology and a quote about the type of technology shown in the image. The writer notes that the image and the quote are from different sources, and the paper examines what each is trying to portray. The paper examines what the image and the text are conveying on their own, and whether there is something that an image can project that text cannot, and vice-versa. Finally, this essay examines what the image and the text would say if placed together.
From the Paper
"The image chosen for this assignment can be found at website textually.com which is a forum about texting and SMS. It is in the archives forum of cell phone etiquette. The image shows a young man dressed in a business suit talking on a cell phone, while he is surrounded by a cell-booth, or what can be described as being a mini-version of a phone booth. The image is intriguing and perhaps fun. It draws the viewer in, because there is no clear explanation given by just looking at the picture. The image is not an advertising image. It is ambiguous and seems to require some sort of text or quote for a more precise interpretation. "

From the Paper
"In New York City, the NYPD is not the only police agency operating in the city. The Port Authority Police Department is another such entity, with a jurisdiction that ranges over a radius of twenty-five miles and covers all of the major arteries into New York City. JFK alone encompasses 5,000 acres with ten terminals and can be seen as being like a small city. The PAPD has an authorized strength of 1,400 police. AS in most departments, the PAPD commanding officers use the analytical data they can gather so that they can recognize anticipated public safety threats and allocate their resources to those threats. State-of-the-art communication capabilities are an important component of this preventive strategy, and to this end, the PAPD has placed mobile data terminals inside police cars to enable police to communicate immediately with motor vehicle bureaus and other government entities for fast background checks of detained persons (Morrone, 1998, paras. 9-12)."

This paper looks at the impact of television violence on aggression in children.

Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that children learn from television that the easiest way to resolve personal problems and conflicts with others is through violence. There seems to be a clear connection between increasing violence in schools and society generally, and the content of television programs. The writer states that it also appears that the majority of parents do not believe that this continual exposure to violence is harmful to their children's development. The writer then points out that there is a significant increase in children's tendencies to aggression as a result of TV violence, which is demonstrated by social psychology research, the very strong evidence of longitudinal studies relating to children's aggression, and evidence from other types of research. The writer concludes that parents and concerned citizens need place pressure on the mass media to produce responsible programming.
Outline:
Introduction
Social Learning
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Violence is increasing in schools and colleges all across North America, and our whole society is accepting of violence. Children learn rapidly because they absorb information but lack the ability to discriminate between the messages that they are receiving. As Tulloch maintains, many forms of violence such as police violence depicted on TV are complicated social dilemmas. The existence of these problems does not indicate the society's attitude to violence but instead demands moral judgment and understanding of social meanings. Children obviously do not have the maturity to place this violence in context. Children learn from TV programs that the simplest way to resolve a dispute is through using fists or guns. However, messages about violence are received through a process. Based on the social cognitive model, aggressive behavior is preceded by a number of steps of information processing."

Abstract
The paper examines "Leadership in Human Services" by L.H. Garner, which discusses the importance of positive management in the success of the employee, the client and the company. The paper asserts that the main weakness of the book is the lack of interest in effective communication processes in organizations. The paper also shows how the book does not provide specific techniques to retain employees.
From the Paper
"This paper will deconstruct L.H. Garner's book Leadership in Human Services and tie in the first chapter of Dilemmas in Human Services Management to the above reading. The importance of positive management in any business is vital to the success of the employee, the client and the company. Leadership should be synonymous with management, but as we all know it is not. It is easy to find people to hire and easy to find clients--the difficulty in management is retention--retention of the employee and the client."

From the Paper
"Jourdain (2004) discusses four communication styles, the first of which is the sanguine or expressive and spirited style of communication. That style would best describe my own approach. I made use of encouraging words and phrases such as 'um hum' and 'I understand'. I was careful to remain nonjudgmental and to try to have empathy by placing myself in her position. I tried to guide the interview but was careful not to control the responses offered by Mrs. S."

Abstract
This paper shows the important role that Buddhism and Confucianism played in the development of printing. It then shows the important role that printing played in the development and history of these two religions. The paper particularly discusses the history of printing from the time of the Tang Dynasty and the Sung Dynasty in Ancient China.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
The Very Beginning of Printing - Tang Dynasty (618-906)
Reasons why Printing was Invented - Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty
The Diamond Sutra
Buddhist and Confucian Books Printed in the Sung Dynasty
Importance of Printing to Buddhism and Confucianism
Commercial Uses for Printing
Conclusion
From the Paper
"As has been shown above, the Ancient Chinese were the first to develop printing, during the Tang Dynasty and the Sung Dynasty. The main reason they did this was because printing was needed to produce and distribute more religious texts. In particular, Buddhist texts were the reason why early printing was developed. Printing then made possible the production of the first complete Buddhist canon. So, it must have been very important in spreading and developing Buddhism in China. Although printing was soon used for commercial applications, it continued to be important for religious literature. During the Sung Dynasty, it was used to produce Confucian books. Thanks to the invention of printing, a fair amount of early religious works still exist today."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that children learn very rapidly and they are exposed to many scenes of violence on television each day. The writer points out that it is amazing that the majority of parents do not perceive this violence to be destructive for their children's development. Children especially are at a stage in their development where they learn so quickly that they absorb information. They learn from television that the easiest way to solve disputes is through the use of fists or guns. The writer maintains that the problem is that many people do not believe that a clear and definite link exists between children's aggressive behavior and the violence they so regularly observe being depicted on television. The writer concludes that research, especially in the form of longitudinal studies, shows the clear-cut connection between TV violence and children's behavior.
Outline:
Executive Summary
Statement of Need
Project Description
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The best studies that have been conducted since 1972 are longitudinal studies related to TV violence and its impact on the attitudes and behavior of children and adolescents. Other studies have consisted of cross sectional and field studies and, together, researchers have made use of all three types in a triangulation strategy to determine the effects of media violence on children. The most convincing studies also are discussed and evaluated by Centerwall, and these researchers also report the findings of professional groups such as the American Medical Association and the American Psychological Association. Basically, all of these studies found that physical aggression among children is significantly increased as a result of exposure to violence in television. Other studies reveal a clear link between TV viewing at a young age and later juvenile delinquency and crime."

Media and Aggression in Children, 2008.
An analysis of the effect and impact of violence in the mass media on children and adolescents.

Abstract
This paper discusses how violence in the mass media affects us and what its impacts and influences are. In particular, it looks at how we are responding to the massive amounts of violence portrayed in mass media. The paper argues that television, movie and video game violence significantly increases aggressiveness and violent behavior in children, which may in later life manifest into aggressive and violent behavior in adults.
From the Paper
"The numerous research carried out in the last 40 years overwhelmingly point out that children's exposure to violence in the mass media and in video and computer games can have short-term as well as lifelong consequences. Furthermore, there are two additional effects that occur as a result of exposure to media violence. First, there is the effect of desensitization towards violence, both real and in the media. Second, there is a fear effect, an apprehension about becoming a victim of violence. Violence in the media has, "from either a modeling approach or a cognitive approach, a high likelihood of being emulated" (Donnerstein & Smith, ????, p.40). However, how the violence is portrayed as well as the age of the viewer are important factors that determine whether the violence will increase or decrease the likelihood of aggression and aggressive behaviour. The solution to the problem of media violence lies in legal remedies through governmental legislation, in education and in media-initiated interventions."
