Research Paper on The Advantages of Text Messaging in Collegiate Recruiting

Nowadays, communications play an extremely important role and their wide application often leads to the significant changes in different areas and activities. In this respect, collegiate recruiting is not an exception. It should be said that the progress of technologies is unstoppable and it is simply illogical to prevent coaches and recruits to use text messaging as a means of communication in the process of recruiting. In fact, conservative specialists oppose to the introduction of such innovations, but, objectively speaking, it is obvious that the college coaches should be allowed to use text messaging as an effective method of communicating with recruits during the recruitment process for their athletic programs. Obviously, this step could facilitate te interaction of coaches and recruits and increase the effectiveness of the process of recruitment through the increasing effectiveness of athletic programs.

Research Paper on the Vietnam War: Compare and Contrast the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial Wall and Maya Lin’s Vietnam War Memorial

If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go. Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own. And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind. David Giffy (Vietnam veteran)

Vietnam War lasted from 1959 until 1975 and had grave consequences that influenced greatly not only the history of Vietnam itself but of other countries as well. It was a civil war where the belligerents, South Vietnam and North Vietnam, were supported by such world powers as the USA and the USSR and their allies respectively. Though the main aim of the war was to unify Vietnam as a state, with time the war started to be accepted, especially by Americans, as another battle against the communist regime. That is why, at first, all the deeds of the Government were backed by American public. Continue reading

Research Paper on Crown Corporations in Canada

Crown corporations constitute an essential part of Canadian economy and, traditionally, they play an important role in the life of the country affecting not only economy, but also political and social life of the country. At the same time, it is necessary to underline that the creation of crown corporations in Canada was not accompanied with a considerable interference of the government into economic life of the country. In fact, it was rather an attempt to take under control strategically important companies which needed the governmental support and, what is more important, which should serve to the interests of the public and, therefore, needed the establishment of the public control over their functioning.

Research Paper: Teaching Language at the Discourse Level

Teaching language is a complex phenomenon that consists of several integral parts. This process is performed on several different levels. Students who learn English as a second language can have a perfect knowledge of grammar, phonetics and syntax but still not possess enough knowledge in order to speak the language freely. This happens because language is realized through a discourse, which shows the dynamics of language. Progress in the language learning is impossible without the knowledge of this part of language. Famous linguist James Gee defined discourse as “as a socially accepted association among ways of using language, of thinking, feeling, believing, valuing, and of acting that can be used to identify oneself as a member of a socially meaningful group… or to signal (that one is playing) a socially meaningful ‘role’” (Gee, 1990, p. 143). This means that each time we use language we use it in a discourse, we utter sentences connected with other sentences, we count on the linguistic context during the act of speech or writing and the purpose of the language use.

Research Paper on the Importance of Human Development in the Classroom

There are five developmental periods: infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, early adolescence and late adolescence. They all have their own specific traits, conditions, similarities and differences. That is why childhood and adolescence can be rightfully called the two main periods of man’s development as a social being with his own emotional world. The research work of the ethnographers in the first part of the twentieth century allowed making a conclusion that the concrete social consequences in a life of a child determine the duration of the teen period, presence and absence of conflicts and the character of conversion from childhood to adulthood.

Research Paper on the Perceptual Biases in the Cases of “Affirmative Action at the University of Selkirk” and “Portrait of a Canadian Advisor”

Historically, perceptual biases played an extremely important role in the complicated relationship of human beings. In fact, perceptual biases are typical for practically all organizations and social structures and often they affect the functioning of such organizations and structures dramatically, Nowadays, in modern organizations, it is getting to be particularly important to cope with such biases since they produce the negative impact on the internal atmosphere within the organization, its public imaged and decreases the effectiveness of its work. However, often it is quite difficult to clearly define perceptual biases an organization can potentially face since, as a rule, they are hidden and may be clearly perceived only on the profound analysis of the current situation within the organization. What is meant here is the necessity to analyze the situation from internal and external viewpoints since it will provide the possibility to make a really objective judgment and take essential steps to ameliorate the situation. In this respect, the analysis of two case studies, namely the Affirmative Action at the University of Selkirk and the Portrait of a Canadian Advisor, can be really helpful in a deep understanding of the significance of perceptual biases and the necessity to cope with them.
