What is French?

France and French history appear across a wide range of academic disciplines, from political history and economics to art history and film studies. Students encounter this subject in history, social studies, international relations, and humanities courses, where France serves as a focal point for examining European politics, colonial expansion, cultural production, and economic theory. The breadth of the topic reflects France's long historical influence—its conflicts with Britain and its role in shaping North American history through events like the French and Indian War make it a recurring subject in courses covering early modern and colonial history, while French art movements and cinema invite analysis in arts and media programs.

The archived papers approach this subject from several distinct angles. Historical and political analysis dominates, with essays examining the French and Indian War, British legislation between 1764 and 1774, and the motivations of colonial powers and Amerindian peoples caught between competing empires. Cultural and artistic perspectives also feature prominently, including work on the French New Wave's influence on modern film directors and analysis of figures like Pierre Bonnard and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in connection with La Revue blanche. Some papers engage economic frameworks, such as the Fama-French model in contrast to the Markowitz Portfolio theory.

A strong essay on a French-related topic begins with a tightly scoped thesis that connects a specific event, movement, or figure to a broader historical or cultural argument. Evidence drawn from primary sources, policy documents, or close analysis of artistic works tends to carry the most weight. A common pitfall is treating "French" as a geographic backdrop rather than an active force—strong papers consistently examine how French institutions, individuals, or conflicts directly shaped outcomes in politics, culture, or economics.

Training Culturally Diverse Employees: Beyond National Stereotypes

Introduction Workplace training is vitally important for any company – whether the company has mostly native-born experienced workers or a culturally diverse workforce including recent immigrants. But when it comes to training needs for culturally diverse employees there are strategies that should be applied and fine-tuned, and this paper addresses those strategies and tactics. Thesis: Old training models – used by HR departments and in business colleges – that are linear and simplistic should be considered outdated and irrelevant. The up-to-date training strategies do not stereotype cultures based on national cultural generalizations, but rather they approach cultural training based on individuals and their values and their ability to adjust to values in the new work environment.

Patient History Taking: A Critique of Craig's Nursing Guide

Taking the history of a patient is a crucial aspect of patient assessment and treatment. A good history can mean the difference between a successful patient outcome and unsatisfactory outcomes. However, taking a complete and useful history is a skill that is developed by means of training and practice; it is not some talent that is innate (Bickley & Szilagyi, 2007; McKenna et al., 2011). According to Craig (2007) nurses are increasingly being asked to take patient histories. Given these growing responsibilities nurses need training and guidelines to taking an adequate patient history. The following is a summary and critique of Craig, L. H, (2007), A "Guide to Taking a Patient's History" in Nursing Standard, volume 22, issue 13, pages 42-48
