.... "holistic" approaches to the medical encounter, then it is worthwhile investigating the extent to which they have actually repudiated conventional gender practices. Being rid of stereotype and domination would make these traditions "alternative" in the deepest sense. At the focus of this paper are the life and works of Dr. James Tyler Kent, an eminent 19-th century American homeopath. Kent himself would never have used the word "alternative" for his personal brand of homeopathy, which he presumed was blessed by God; but with the distance that time affords, we can permit ourselves to use the term as a convenient approximation, recognizing that there .....

.... non-Western art. For example, many non-Western cultures recognize no distinction between fine art and craft, may not even have a word for "art," and may not separate art from everyday life. To understand the art and aesthetics of Japan, it is necessary to investigate a Japanese worldview, ideas about the nature of art, and influences brought about through contact with other cultures. The aesthetics of Japan developed in a unique fashion, partly because of its geographic location, a string of islands about 100 miles from Korea and 500 miles from China. Its isolation by the sea helped protect Japan from foreign invasion and allowed its rulers to .....

.... retrieve your money without being penalized as long as you opened your account over five years prior to withdrawal and your are at least 59.5 years old at time of withdrawal. Some exceptions are death, disability or first time purchase of a home. There is also an Educational IRA which you can contribute a maximum of $500 per year per child. This obviously is only good enough for a college education if you plan to invest in other places. On the AOL site I used it had a page where you enter in your date of birth and how much money you wish to contribute. I entered in both DOB-7/9/79 (approximately 46 years until retirement) and that I wish to contr .....

.... Much can be learned from pottery some of which is directly linked to the pottery itself. Other information can be found which is more inferred than anything else. This therefore makes the study of pottery one of two parts. Firstly, the physical study of pottery, which will be dealt with in the first part of this essay, and secondly the study of the cultural insight pottery gives enabling archaeologists to understand the society from which it came. Perhaps the most obvious way of analysing pottery is by the naked eye but its obviousness should not detract from its importance. By observing the physical attributes of any artefact a great deal can .....

.... of a learner but they are important in the understanding of how a learner navigates this complex task known as second language acquisition. Technology can often be overwhelming to both student and teacher alike and where computers are concerned, it can be an imposing instrument. The complexity of the computer, not to mention the vast choice of possibilities, can put students and teachers off as they loose time grappling with how to use the computer. Yet, the learning curve aside, computers can be valuable assets in the classroom. Computers being used as a tool to further a learning goal is not an entirely new phenomenon in our society. Althoug .....

.... children and airbags don’t mix. Children shouldn’t be in the front seat because the force of the airbag is usually too much for them. Never put a rear facing child seat in the front seat of the car. If the airbag goes off, the seat will be pushed forward and the child may get squeezed between the back of the seat and the airbag. Children are less likely to be killed in a crash if they are in the back seat. If someone must put a child in the front seat, they may want to have an on/off switch for the airbag installed on the passenger side. On/off switches are used to prevent the airbag from going off in an accident, but they aren’t reco .....

.... what color or sex, people are born with different natural skills which can help them to succeed in areas that someone else could not therefore they are not equal. The only possible way to mold our language towards an egalitarian society would be to outlaw certain words and phrases. This law would be virtually impossible to enforce due to the incredible number of people, not only in the world but even just in large cities. The only way to enforce a law of this kind would be to have microphones in every room of every building and on every street corner that would detect if an illegal word was said and issue a ticket of some form, as in the movie Demoli .....

.... Many people suggest that limiting the violent graphic content found on television might lead toward a less violent society. The assumption is that without a catalyst (violent programming), violent behaviour will be less prevelant. I can see how one might think this way; 1. chilren appear to behave more violently than their parents did as children. 2. Today's television has more violent shows, both in abundance and degree. There appears to be a simple causation there. It may be just a corelation. American television networks operate on the supply and demand curve just like any other industry. There has to exist a demand for violent programming firs .....

.... the same body that ends with the minds death does not begin until the brain is functioning or until the mind is able to make decisions. A newborn though it has a mind that is capable of making decisions does not know how or is able to make those decisions. It is through experience and time that the mind learns. The mind learns from the body, through the experiences that the body has. From touch to taste to sound every experience is a new experience to a new mind. A newborn does not know what is around it nor does it know the sounds and smells that surround the hospital. The newborns mind uses the body to determine and make interpretations as t .....

.... our community and harms innocent citizens. Any illegal activity that brings in big money the is part of. Union corruption has been the primary focus of many federal investigations and by the end of the 1980’s, four unions, the Teamsters, Longshoremen, Laborers, and Hotel and Restaurant Employees union, had all been identified as mob dominated. Not only does the mob find money makers in the United States, they finds ways to bring money to them from other countries. Alien smuggling generates more than $3 billion a year for the mob. Mobsters will kill without remorse and threaten anyone who won’t go along with what they are doing. To keep .....
