From the Paper
"Given that The Salvation Army's tremendous success is largely due to its ability to respond to the needs of individual communities, one can imagine that it is impossible to delineate one single future direction for the service. For example, Pastor Rideout's response to that question was based on his own experience in the organization. As a result, he believed that The Salvation Army needed to concentrate on developing its youth programs. In addition, he believed that the organization needed to provide additional family service centers and youth centers. Moreover, he sees a need for hygiene and family education in his community."

Abstract
This research paper reviews and examines various studies regarding the phenomenology of drug abuse and addiction in order to gain insight and understanding as to the forces that drive abusive and addictive behavior.
Outline:
Introduction
The Sociology, Psychology and Physiology of Addiction
The Grips of Addiction
From the Paper
"What this study suggests is that even when the individual's physical cleansing of the toxic drug is accomplished, that the psychology of the drug continues to be a catalyst for resuming abusive behavior, and that this behavior can be at a subconscious level, the compulsion that drives the individual back to the drug. In this case, Mark has identified stress as a precipitator to the motivation that causes individuals to resume the pattern of drug use, which leads to addiction because of the physiology associated with addictive drug use."

Abstract
The paper discusses the four dominant functions of management which are planning, organizing, leading and controlling, and in the context of this paper they are applied to the operations of an oil/gas company or organization. The paper notes that these four essential functions of management are critical for the efficient and orderly functioning of any organization, and are even the more critical in a high process-centric business model that oil and gas companies rely on for attaining their strategic objectives.

Executive Summary
Planning
Organizing
Leading
Controlling
Summary
From the Paper
"For many organizations that compete in the oil and gas industries, their ability to turn supply chain processes into a competitive advantage is their most differentiated competitive advantage. The use of the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model in the context of planning within many industries including oil and gas is an analytical construct that provides insights into how these series of processes tie into strategic planning (Razmi, Jolai, Hezarkhani, 2008). The development of strategic and tactical plans in many oil and pass companies is also built on the development of innovative new approaches to the exploration, mining or extraction, processing and selling of oil and gas-related products through distribution channels. The role of innovation in the context of the planning process is also critical for the development of long-term differentiation as well. "

From the Paper
"Good managers are able to accomplish a great deal in virtually any environment based on an intuitive sense of what is needed to accomplish organizational goals, but this "seat-of-the-pants" management style will only take a company so far. In truth, timely information about a company's performance as well as its competitors' performance, the environment in which it competes, and current economic trends are just part of the vast array of information that business managers need to remain competitive today. Moreover, there is always the risk of relying on the wrong information or even the right information for the wrong purposes".

Rembrandt and Kahlo, 2008.

Abstract
This paper compares Rembrandt's 1659 self-portrait, "Self Portrait" to Frida Kahlo's 1940 self-portraint, "Self Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird". The paper notes that Rembrandt's painting is characteristic of the unadorned, spare style of portraiture that defined this Dutch artist's realistic style, whereas Kahlo's painting is a surrealist flight of fancy that aims to create a psychic, rather than a literal self-portrait. The paper compares the two portraits with respect to iconography, symbolism, composition, subject matter, complexity, realism and shading.
From the Paper
"The two paintings may be self-portraits, but ultimately their iconography and subject matter is quite different. Rembrandt's expression, although difficult to interpret, is the showcase of the painting, and there is little else to focus on other than the artist, his face, and his craftsman's hands. Kahlo likewise looks somewhat distracted, as if in a state of psychic pain or remembrance, but her unrelenting, unembarrassed, unyielding gaze and fierce determination is not simply reflected in the face that forms the center of Rembrandt's self-portrait, rather her expression fans out to every leaf and animal in her creation, all of which are pregnant with meaning."

Abstract
The paper takes a psychological look at how, when we evaluate others, we use our innate human emotions first. The paper notes that evaluating the self and others is generally inaccurate and can create unnecessary problems. The paper also relates that being motivated to be non-judgmental and avoid stereotypes can motivate people to rethink their initial impression of a person. The paper then explain that this is an important point, as everyone experiences some type of social interactions with others and people need to escape primitive emotions and intuitions when attributing characteristics to others.
From the Paper
"If people identify their skills relative to others through social comparison, does this mean that everyone has a fairly accurate understanding of their abilities compared to the average? Not according to many psychologists who have found that "most college students rate themselves as better students than the average college student". One possibility is people may consider themselves above average and believe their unique abilities are the most important criteria for the task, thus suffering from a personal bias. For example, people may think they are smarter than average because they excel in creativity, logic, social situations, problem-solving, using tools, or getting high marks, and people suppose their unique skills make them smarter because they view those skills as more significant."

From the Paper
"Over the past few years, the topic of gay and lesbian rights has become more and more mainstream within the United States and other Western World nations. It has become difficult to turn on the television or open up a newspaper in North America without coming across some news story concerning the continued battle for equality within North America, based on sexual orientation. The debate has become fierce, with proponents on both sides of the argument vehemently passionate about their opinions and desires. The media has been there for the duration of the debate, bringing the highlights to the general public and often instilling a high level of moral fever across the nation. Unfortunately, due to the strong emotions connected to the subject of same-sex marriage, the topic very rarely receives an objective overview within the media. Media stories tend to focus on one side of the debate or the other, but mostly on the tension between the two sides. Rarely are the actual details of the debate spelled out to American society in a manner that would allow individuals to make a more informed decision about the topic. The goal of this paper will be to provide an overview of the debate on same-sex marriage in the United States. This will be done by spelling out exactly what same-sex marriage is and what it is not. It will review the arguments of those who are for same-sex marriage and those who are against same-sex marriage. The paper will also examine the current events in the United States and abroad that are related to this topic, in order to provide a complete examination of current and up to date information."
