Cognitive Behavior Therapy
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that examines Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), which is considered by many experts to be the preferred form of therapy for many psychological and personality problems (Bush, 2002). CBT is a form of therapy that is primarily oriented toward problem solving and based on systematic and thorough gathering of information relative to the causes of psychological or emotional stress (Aubrey and Bond, 1997). Rather than extensive psychoanalysis that searches out the root problems regarding why someone developed an addictive personality, CBT primarily focuses on changing the negative behavior that is destroying the client's quality of life.

Cognitive Dissonance and Racism
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page research paper that investigates the relationship between cognitive dissonance and racism. The writer argues that if people's true feelings do not match their outward show of non-racist attitudes, it sets up a situation in which cognitive dissonance would propel individuals into, at least privately, rationalizing their any racist attitudes, which would ultimately serve to keep racism alive and well in a covert manner, and that the two research studies profiled support this contention. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Comparison of Mauss and Geertz
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper assessing Marcel Mauss’ “Techniques of the Body” and Clifford Geertz’s “Impact of the Concept of Culture on the Concept of Man,” followed by a comparison of the two works. Both authors agree that the study of movements, gestures, gait and other issues of body usage are culture-specific. The point is that one studying a culture must be aware of all aspects of that culture, that there is not even one detail small enough to warrant being labeled as being insignificant. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Comparison of the Radical Revolutionary and Liberal Democratic Schools of Political Thought in Regards to The Human Condition, Government and Society, The Rights of Man and Freedom
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the ideals of the radical revolutionary and the liberal democratic schools of thought. The ideals of the radical revolutionary schools of thought as seen in the writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Karl Marx and Frederick Engels contrast in the basic elements of individuals and society from the school of liberal democratic thought advocated by Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and America’s founding fathers. Within the radical revolutionary school of thought governments were given certain rights over individuals in return for the protection of their citizens and the allocation of justice and the products of labor. Liberal democratic thought on the other hand believed that men were born were certain natural rights which could not be taken away unless voluntarily. In addition, if governments did not promote the general will of the people, they could be withdrawn. The basic rights of life, liberty and happiness in addition to Locke’s private property were the most consistent features found in the liberal democratic school and which were promoted in America and France shortly after they were proposed. The theories of Marx and Engels however originated the ideals of socialism in its truest form.

Comparison Reading of Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper comparing two readings from Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict. Ruth Benedict’s “Patterns of Culture” and Margaret Mead’s “Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies” are considered prominent texts in the world of social and cultural anthropology. In “Patterns of Culture” Benedict tells her theory of the “Integration of Culture” where it is necessary not to study a culture by observing and generalizing the sum of its parts but in actual fact, cultures and the personalities within it can only be described as a whole concept where the influences, economics, religion and family dynamics must all be considered as an influences on the whole. In Margaret Mead’s study of “The Lake-Dwelling Tchambuli” of Papua New Guinea in “Sex and Temperament”, she accurately describes the tribe and its varied aspects of temperament and gender roles and finds them to differ greatly than the other tribes around it. The influences found within the Tchambuli and their different personalities, according to Benedict then, must be based on the unique and specific background of the cultural elements within the tribe.
