Saudi Arabia - Infant Mortality High (Proposed
purchase of respiratory equipment.
[ send me this paper ]
(10 pp) Infant mortality rate (IMR) is a sensitive
index of the general health and welfare of the
population of a nation. It is an indicator of
effectiveness of health services. Cause-specific
mortality rate data is useful in planning and
evaluation of strategies designed to address high
IMR. This is because the starting point of a
sequence of events leading to death is known and
death can be avoided or postponed by preventing the
initiating cause. In Saudi Arabia 75% of infant
mortality could be avoided.

Semiological Analysis of a Television Show -- “Touched by an
Angel”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the semiologic aspects of
the prime-time television show “Touched by an Angel.” In
contemporary popular culture, television serves as one of the
best possible representations of how it is possible to understand
larger realities about society and social beliefs via the stories
told and symbols presented. The popular prime-time show “Touched
by an Angel” illustrates such a process. The show is almost an
ancient morality play in which the players learn greater truths
about themselves and the world in which they live. The symbols
and signals presented as a common denominator in each episode fit
into a number of the assumptions made by Western humanity
regarding “seeing the light” and personal redemption.
Bibliography lists one source.

Sociology's Approach To Understanding The Nature & Character Of Religion
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages. The connection between sociology and religion is unmistakable; without question, these two elements of existence are distinctly intertwined within the framework of every global society. Indeed, without religious inclusion, which is truly a key component to contemporary living, the world as it is today would cease to exist. Sociology's approach to understanding the nature and character of religion begins as far back as the Stone Age and reaches as far forward as the Space Age, for there is not a single episode of life that has occurred without the presence of religion. The writer discusses these concepts as they are effectively addressed in Joel M. Charon's 'The Meaning of Sociology: A Reader.' No additional sources cited.
