Abstract
This paper presents a review of the existing research literature upon teaching and learning processes for writing and reading. The paper explains that this literature suggests complexities that are not addressed in Ontario ministry curriculum requirements in these areas. More specifically, the paper maintains that the literature highlights the fact that these processes are not only highly individual but that they also are shaped by learning processes across a continuum along which students move back and forth as they incorporate new learning into their knowledge bases.

Abstract
This paper identifies a process or company that would benefit from implementing Business Process Reengineering (BPR). It describes the process, explains the reasons why it would benefit from re-engineering, determines the key changes as well as the difficulties in the process, and provides suggestions for overcoming them. The paper evaluates one application or potential application of this concept, the "knowledge management" initiative within a typical higher education or tertiary training institution, and examines the possible benefits to such an organization. The paper presents the foreseen problems and issues and a strategy for ensuring the success of the initiative. The paper describes the IT support that will be needed for this initiative.
From the Paper
"The entire process in Business Re-engineering occurs in the environment that is constantly managing change. The evaluation stage is not the last step but is an ongoing pursuit which will bring continually refinement and adjustment as needed to the new processes being implemented. In the institution of the BPR to local schools that are in need of the updated processes collaborative tools must be considered. Collaborative tools are computer resources that allow for the sharing of information and data. Some of the collaborative tools to consider are the chat with audio and text, the whiteboard, bulletin board, video teleconferencing, discussion groups and newsletters, file sharing tools, presentation tools as well as application sharing, text tools, email, instant messaging and the persistent capability."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses due process of the law, which is a term that has been used for many years. The writer notes that the general principle of this term is that everyone is entitled to a day in court when he or she has been accused or charged with a violation of the law. In addition, the due process of law mandates the belief that each person's case should be fully explored and heard before any judgment is rendered with regard to that case. The writer explains that the due process of law protects people from being deprived of their life, liberty or property as well as any rights that have been given to them by legislation or statute. The writer concludes that with illegal immigration being a hot topic throughout the nation it is important to understand how due process and equal protection of the law impacts those immigrants.
Outline:
Equal Protection of the Law
Conclusion
From the Paper
"This is interesting because for many years after the development of the constitution, African Americans were not treated equally. When they finally one the right to vote, their vote only counted as two thirds of a whole vote and they were allowed to be forced to sit at the back of the buses, and sent to Black only schools and other places that were designed specifically for that race. When it came to the law they were also discriminated against as they were treated differently in courts and jails and not afforded the same right to jury trials as their white counterparts were."
"Eventually this was challenged enough times that law makers made it clear all people meant all people, not just whites, or men or a certain economic group. It meant each and every person is to be afforded the same protection by the same laws."

Abstract
This paper looks at Business Process Improvement. It is described as a process aiming to shift the focus from the quality of goods to productivity, cost reduction and increased customer satisfaction. The writer bases the paper on James Harrington?s work ?Business Process Improvement: The Breakthrough Strategy for Total Quality, Productivity, and Competitiveness?. The paper analyzes three main areas. Organizing for process improvement, understanding the process characteristics and streamlining.
From the Paper
"Regardless of the industry, all companies can benefit from removing barriers that interrupt the flow of work and streamlining processes to reduce waste and lower costs. The best way to do this is through business process improvement (BPI), which is critical in cutting costs and improving competitive strategy. According to Harrington, one of the most important aspects of implementing BPI is managerial support . When initiating BPI into a business, it is important that the mangers understand exactly what BPI is and how it will benefit the company. Harrington suggests forming an executive improvement team (EIT) to oversee the BPI process."

'Bilingual Language Processing', 2006.
A critique of an article entitled "Bilingual Language Processing".

Abstract
This paper summarizes the rationale behind the investigators' research presented in the article "Bilingual Language Processing" as well as the research outcome and the investigators' conclusions on how bilingual subjects process language. The paper also points out some concerns over the methodology employed and how future studies might be able to avoid these (e.g. concerns over sample size, devices used, etc.).
From the Paper
"The investigators in the study "Shared and separate systems in bilingual language processing: Converging evidence from eye tracking and brain imaging" sought to prove that initial parallel processing of language occurs in bilinguals, only to later on default to processing in discrete cortical centers (Marian, Spivey & Hirsch, 2002). This article tackles two distinct concerns regarding language processing in bilinguals: the first being whether one or both languages were [simultaneously] processed and whether discrete cortical regions existed for each language or shared common regions within such areas as the inferior frontal gyrus (ibid.). According to their review of literature, the question of whether parallel processing versus "serial" processing, wherein the lexicon not utilized is shut off in favor of the other, remained unresolved..."

Abstract
Whether they are personal, organizational, or cultural values, these values not only define ethically acceptable boundaries for the decision-making process, but also steer the individual towards the most socially accepted decision. Given this significance, the paper discusses how cultural values affect the decision-making process. The paper explores the relationship between organizational values and personal values and investigates how this affects decision-making and organizational commitment. Finally, the paper examines an example of how core values in the United States Air Force affect decision-making for its troops .
From the Paper
"Finegan (2000) investigated the relationship between organizational and personal values and how these affected the decision-making process, as well as organizational commitment. Both employees and organizations share one fundamental characteristic, ?values?. These evaluative standards are used to discern between ?right? and ?wrong? or to assess the importance of preferences. It is not surprising that an employee would be more comfortable working in an environment that is consistent and supportive of his or her own personal values. And, as anticipated, through the use of hierarchical multiple regression analyses, Finegan found that an employee?s perception of organizational values positively affected their commitment level. When personal values align with organizational values, the employee is typically more devoted and more productive. However, in addition to this commitment level, aligned values positively affect the decision-making process as well, which also positively affects productivity."

Abstract
In an article by Mercer L. Sullivan and Barbara Miller, the authors express their concern with the issues of adolescent violence and the context of moral panic. Sullivan and Miller (1999) criticize the process and reactions ?characterized as moral panic? because they believe that youth violence is extremely exaggerated within certain communities and that this moral panic is a reaction caused by the media, school administrators, and community leaders. The paper then looks at an article by Thomas Szasz (1983), who believes that mental illness is nothing more than a myth, that it is a label placed on people in order to gain social control. He criticizes the psychiatrists and researchers and believes that they are after their own self-interests. The paper focuses on both articles and the similarities they share in relation to power-play among those in authority and the labeling process which stimulates moral panic and societal fears.
From the Paper
"Unfortunately, the community, at times, exaggerates the situation and the media runs with the story, leaving a sense of uncertainty, insecurity, and moral panic among those who reside in the community including community leaders. However, ?societal responses have cycled back and forth between attempts to provide special treatments? and ?remove these treatments and impose harsher punishments?(p.264) among our youth. This has led the state in parenting our youths known as ?parens patraie?. This created ?special courts and institutions for dealing with juveniles who break the law? (p.264). The problem here is that it has resulted in youths being stripped of their rights and has
caused harsher punishments leaving ?youths as potential agents of lethal violence? .(p.265)"
