SummaryTwenty years ago a day of shopping meant going to one store for groceries, another store for clothes, and still another store for prescriptions. Today a day of shopping can be done with one door and one trip. Wal-Mart has changed the way Americans and other countries do their daily shopping. Giving the lowest prices they can, Wal-Mart is the largest corporation in the world. This paper is going to describe how Wal-Mart started in Bentonville, Arkansas from the owner Sam Walton motivation for the store, how the corporation has effected the United States economy, how other corporations have had to change to be able to keep up with Wal-Mart, and how Wal-Mart’s employees are treated. Sam Walton came up with a question wondering if people were willing to drive a couple miles out of town to buy items that were cheaper then the store’s that were in town. And the answer was yes.

SummaryEvery child is born with a vast library of experiences which Jungian psychology describes as the collective unconscious, the contents of which are called archetypes. These archetypes are unlearned tendencies to experience life in certain ways, and manifest themselves in several forms. Some of the forms include the mother, the father, the child, and the maiden. Perhaps the most mysterious of these archetypes is the shadow (Boree 4).

SummaryThe Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio, directed by Jane Anderson and released in 2005, tells the true story of a mother from Defiance, Ohio who helped raise her rather large family by winning contests to earn money and necessities in absence of a steady income from her husband. Julianne Moore plays Evelyn Ryan, who is in constant conflict with her husband Kelly (Woody Harrelson) that she does love but can’t trust to support the family. Through her contests, Evelyn is able to provide for her ten children from home, even though she lives a very restricted life and seldom travels away from the neighborhood. Throughout the course of the film, mise-en-scene plays a crucial role in establishing a realistic setting in the past through a well-planned overall design, helping the viewer realize that the story was real and that the timeframe was essential for it to be carried out. Evelyn Ryan’s story is one that could not have happened in a modern era, nor farther back than the 1950s. Establishing that strict time for the film was necessary for the story to play out at all.

SummaryWondering how similar animals are to ourselves is not a recent question to philosophy or research science. Pet owners are all aware of the mystery behind how it seems like a beloved cat or dog just “knows” when the day has been horrible. More recent research has taken this philosophical question to a different level by examining the cognitive abilities of a number of animals, and what drives some of their more intelligent behaviors. How animals communicate with one another, or how they seem to communicate with us in domestic situations, has been a hot topic for several decades. At the heart of this is studying animal language acquisition. Researchers have been trying to determine if any animal, particularly the great apes, are capable of understanding and using a human language system. Many studies have been undertaken to assess the language skills of common chimpanzees, the bonobo chimps, and several different skills of the gorillas.

SummaryIn determining the five most critical aspects of a media strategy, our group immediately noticed that there was correlation between the question asked and a portion of our class notes. In class on October 15, 2007, Dr. Parrish-Sprowl identified what he believed to be the most important aspects of an effective media strategy. As graduate students, we felt it necessary to get secondary sources to confirm these five aspects and thus each section includes an additional resource that states the importance of the particular ingredient that is needed for an effective media strategy. The five most important aspects of an effective media strategy are : defining a goal, choosing the media you will use, selecting a target audience, creating and following a budget, and planning, timeline, and management. These items are all interrelated and are of equal importance, although the weight and attention given to them may vary depending on the particular media strategy.

SummaryCommunication is an omnipresent concept that traverses all aspects of an individual's life. However, when asked exactly what communication encompasses or how to define it, even communication scholars are left perplexed or overwhelmed at the varying degrees of answers that will undoubtedly be given to depict what communication actually is. Why is this? Communication appears in our world in a plethora of avenues and in countless ways due to varying degrees of association. Therefore, with innumerable ways of analyzing and discussing communication, a tangible model or theory of communication needed to be developed in order to better communicate about communication not only as a field but also a human construct. Robert T. Craig recognized the need to develop a metamodel in able to formulate more identifiable and valid communication theories within the field of communication studies. Craig posits in his article Communication Theory as a Field, "communication theory [is] a dialogical-dialectical field according to two principles: the constitutive model of communication as a metamodel and theory as a metadiscursive practice" (Craig, 1999). Craig is hypothesizing that communication theory should operate within an analytical space of logical argumentation, its dialectical nature, formulated through dialogue.

SummaryA person’s motor ability may be influenced by one’s sex and verbal tasks. We hypothesized that a difficult verbal task would interfere with motor skills on the right hand more for men than women due to lateralization of the brain. The balancing times of a dowel were compared between males and females between 6 different conditions. They either used their right or left hand to balance while saying the alphabet forwards, backwards or not at all. The hypothesis was supported with males performing worst with the right hand backwards condition (p<.005). This corroborated with previous research on the topic. Future research might want to take brain imaging into consideration.

SummaryTo have understood which schedules of reinforcement produce a desired behavior, we examined whether a Fixed Ratio (FR) scale was more effective than a Fixed Interval (FI) scale. Subjects participated in an interview and were unaware that they were being reinforced on an FR, or FI schedule. Other studies have shown an FR scale to be more effective than an FI scale, so it was expected that FR schedules would produce more self-referenced statements (SRS) than FI in the last five minutes. The results didn’t support this hypothesis since there was no effect of reinforcement on the number of SRS in the last five minutes (p>.05). Variability in the data could have influenced the results.
