National Identities, 2006. A comparison between the national identities of Australia and the United States. 2,100 words (approx. 8.4 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 65.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract This paper analyzes and then compares and contrasts the Australian and American national identities. The author examines the factors that have shaped those identities, including similar histories as British colonies, democratic systems of government, natural resources and culture. The author concludes that Australia and the United States have forged their national identities based upon similar idealized beliefs tied to the land. Australia, however, appears to be a "little brother" to the United States; always just a few steps behind, yet always following in the footsteps.
From the Paper "The national identity or image a country presents has an impact on how the citizens of the country perceive themselves and how the rest of the world views them. Several different cultural factors influence and shape this image, and the identity can change with the passage of time. Language, religion, music, and ethnic interactions help to shape the character and perception of a country and its culture. Heritage, beliefs, and traditions all contribute to how a country's people look at themselves and the country they call home. Australia and the United States have journeyed through time along a very similar course. In both of these countries, the perception of land, frontier, and wide-open spaces have combined with the cultural influences to shape this national identity."

Cultural Globalization, 2005. This paper discusses the effect of western cultural globalization on Islamic states especially Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi-Arabia, Afghanistan and Pakistan. 6,535 words (approx. 26.1 pages), 10 sources, APA, $ 150.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract This paper explains that the superimposing effect of western culture has been multi-focal and directed into several paradigms of the Muslim society, which has a rapid and widespread influence on the culture of these countries. The author points out that the popularity of Hollywood films poses an offensive threat in those Islamic countries where moderate governments are threatened by Islamic fundamentalism. The paper states that, even although American culture is seen as a seething immoral and unscrupulous influence, which lacks morality and values of family and tradition, it has had a very profound impact on the central values of the traditional world of Islam because more and more youth across the Muslim world are adopting American culture and lifestyles as a way of life.
From the Paper "Across the world, the United States of America is best regarded as a colonial force than a superpower. It is bent upon westernizing other parts of the globe to satisfy its selfish and devious agenda. In attacking Afghanistan, the United States may have toppled an oppressive regime that reigned in the form of the Taliban but it sure is a measure to install in place a more loyal and conforming mechanism that would report back to the United States in all forms and channels. America is doing nothing but extending its vicious presence across the globe in the hunt for valuable riches that will help it to sustain its economic drive and potential in the long run. It is busy creating a form of imperialism that can work out best to its won advantage irrespective of the pitiable condition of many economies. It is an all out war in all fields."

From the Paper "The Farm Crisis Some of the most famous images in photographic history captured farmers and their families as weather-beaten stick figures amid the swirl of dust on the eroded plains of America in the 1930s. For them, the Great Depression was not something that hit them after the 1929 stock market crash it had already hounded them since the end of World War I in 1919. The return of Europeans to the farms after the war explains some of it, but mostly U.S. farmers were caught in a cycle of trends that lead to overproduction and plummeting prices."

Human Rights Law, 2003. An analysis of the protections of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) as they apply to human rights law in the United Kingdom. 3,065 words (approx. 12.3 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 89.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract The paper reviews the history of the Council of Europe and The Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, commonly known as the ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights). The paper analyzes the history of human rights in the UK beginning with the Magna Carta of the 13th century, and continuing into the 20th century, when legislation was developed to coordinate British law with the original ECHR of 1949 and its subsequent charters and protocols expanding European protections of civil rights. The paper reviews various sections of the ECHR and compares them to English Common Law and provisions of the UK's Human Rights Act of 1998. The paper discusses the difference between non-derogable rights and derogated rights, citing several relevant sections of the ECHR. It also examines several points of the ECHR and considers their acceptability under UK law. In conclusion, the paper finds that the ECHR laws are quite complex and that new British legislation only furthers the dissonance with their applicability to the UK.

From the Paper "The Council for Europe had been originally established at the end of the Second World War and had an objective of the protection of Europe against totalitarianism and atrocities that were witnessed during the war. This council had the convention as a treaty within the actions it took. (European Convention on Human Rights) The United Kingdom was one of the founder members of this convention and also involved in the design of the law. It was also one of the first countries to approve the treaty. It has also appeals to be made to the European Commission for Human Rights since 1966. The influence of the Convention has been growing in the UK during the past ten years as the European Court of Human Rights are now taking quicker action about the appeals that are being made to it.

International Financial Reporting, 2005. This paper explains that many factors, such as history, politics, differential currency types, ease of conversion and regulations of various international banking institutions, prevent full harmonization of international financial reporting. 3,445 words (approx. 13.8 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 97.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract This paper explains the history of the inter-relationship of political and economic changes that effect today's problem of harmonization of currency and reporting such as (1) competing economic policy objectives similar to today's problems with oil, (2) the Janus-faced nature of international capital flows and (3) the changing center of influence of the international system from the United Kingdom and toward the United States. The author points out that the new ISO engineering standards represent a model for standardizing accounting and reporting processes not only by solving the problems of harmonizing the accounting and reporting process but also by offering an open-ended approach, easily adaptable to even the smallest of enterprises. The paper stresses that this need for global standardization means that the mundane "bean-counters" of the past must be replace by today's global accountants trained in several disciplines.

From the Paper "Between the wars, the United States overtook Britain as the leading player in the commercial and the financial domains. However, America's foreign financial and commercial relations did not yet fit together in a way that produced a harmoniously working international system. Moreover, with even today's technological edge America is finding the attainment of harmonization a difficult task at best. Great Britain likewise struggles with several issues in this area. Hence, when postwar planners again contemplated the reconstruction of the international system, they sought a framework capable of accommodating these changed conditions. The solutions to the problems are not at all straightforward and thus the pronounced lack of harmonization of accounting and reporting."

Military and U.S. National Security, 2006. An analysis and evaluation of U.S. foreign policy regarding international peacekeeping. 5,800 words (approx. 23.2 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 139.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract This paper analyzes recent U.S. involvements in international peacekeeping efforts in Iraq, Rwanda and the Balkans. The paper assesses why the U.S. made these foreign policy decisions by studying the political considerations, human rights issues, "mission creep", regional stability and the economic impact of these conflicts. Then the paper evaluates the outcome of these efforts by weighing the costs -- both economically and militarily -- against the successes of the mission.

From the Paper "The analysis and evaluation of the policies of using United States (US) armed forces from the standpoint of our National Security in International Peace-keeping, Peace-enforcement and Humanitarian operations is a quite difficult and complex undertaking given the fact that the primary responsibility for these three dominate and very important World issues falls under the control of General Assembly and Security Council of the United Nations in accordance with their charter and International Law. Add to this caveat the fact that US Foreign Policy is formulated within three separate and quite different agencies of which the National Security Agency is but one and the task becomes even more complex. These agencies of course are the Department of State, the Department of Defense and the National Security Agency."

Ngo Dinh Diem, 2006. A review of the background leading up to the war in Vietnam, focusing on the life of Ngo Dinh Diem, the Prime Minister of South Vietnam. 2,169 words (approx. 8.7 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 67.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract The paper reviews the life of Ngo Dinh Diem as a means to understanding the causes of the Vietnam war. After touching on Diem's early life and rise to the premiership, the paper focuses on his correspondence with the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations. The paper analyzes Diem's and his brother Nhu's campaign of deception against the American government in order to secure more funds for their personal use. The paper ends with their death, and concludes that following their build up of the threat of war, and Kennedy's subsequent assassination, there was no more possibility of a peaceful solution.
From the Paper "A symbol of the political and moral disaster of Vietnam is the life and death of Ngo Dinh Diem. "Born in 1901, Ngo Dinh Diem was born into an aristocratic, Roman Catholic family with close ties to the Emperor. He served in Emperor Bao Dai's administration under French colonial rule until 1933." [1] During and after World War II he opposed both French colonial rule and the communist-led independence movement. As an anti-Communist he turned down an offer from Ho Chi Minh to become part of his government, in 1945. As a result of his opposition to the French and to the communists, he spent several years in exile, where he worked to get American political support for a postwar independent Vietnam. He, of course, wanted to lead that government,. "One chronicler dubbed Ngo 'the last Confucius', who believed that Vietnam needed the benevolent, authoritarian rule of enlightened elites." [2]"

Turkish Immigration in Germany, 2006. An analysis of the impact on Germany of Turkish immigration. 2,600 words (approx. 10.4 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 78.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract This paper studies the phenomenon of Turkish immigration to Germany, which began in the 1960s. The paper explains that the Turks were originally allowed to immigrate as guest workers, with the intention that their presence was transient. However, the Turks stayed and today make up 4 percent of Germany's population. This paper assesses the impact of the Turks on Germany society and the success -- or failure -- of the Turkish community to be absorbed into German society. The author focuses in particular on youth and education issues for the community.
From the Paper "There are 1.8 million Turks in Germany, 139,000 of them in Berlin alone, making them the largest group of foreign workers. The second most commonly spoken language in Germany isn't French, Spanish or even English. It is Turkish, the language of the 2.5 million ethnic Turks who live and work in Germany as a postwar legacy of its guest-worker program. The first workers often brought their families with them. In 1973 after the oil crisis, recruitment stopped, and many did go home to Turkey. But, despite some returning and no more guest works being hired, the continued flow of family members from Turkey and a high birth rate has kept the population of Turks in Germany high. But, they are Turks, and will always be regarded as outsiders by Germans. Despite every effort by children of immigrants who were born in Germany, attend German schools and speak only German, they are still second-class citizens with few good job prospects. It really is Germany's fault that this situation exists."

Least Developed Countries, 2006. A research paper discussing the impact of international trade on the development of less developed countries (LDCs). 12,562 words (approx. 50.2 pages), 22 sources, MLA, $ 240.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract This research paper examines whether the concept of "free trade" remains an oxymoron, and whether agreements such as NAFTA and the successors to GATT have any positive impact on less developed nations. The paper also takes a look at how foreign capital provides more opportunities and the utilization of the work-force in less developed nations. Also examined is whether the competition for the largesse of the capitalist countries among less developed nations will create animus, political in-fighting, and perhaps even military action.

From the Paper "Calvin Coolidge once said that the business of America was business. This is now true of every nation in the world. Of course, business is a far more structured and sophisticated part of the First and Second world countries. In fact, their globalization efforts are now creating opportunities as well as mischief in the less developed countries. By mischief, of course, one must understand the rituals for getting plants, roads, infrastructure, a work force and a place to train them and a splitting of profits and royalties with the governments (and, not incidentally with those who have the power to grant licenses and overcome bureaucratic snafus)."

Religion as a Tool for Manipulating the Poor, 2006. A discussion of the way the elites in both India and Pakistan use religion to manipulate the poor and uneducated for political power and control. 2,391 words (approx. 9.6 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 73.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract This paper examines the ongoing struggle and strife between the nations of Pakistan and India and looks at how the elites in both countries have gained political power and control by using religion to manipulate the poor and uneducated. The paper suggests that differences between the two countries are fueled by the political and military leaders for their own vested interests and that religion is used as an instrument by both sides to gain the sympathy of the deprived masses and to create an atmosphere of religious hatred and fanaticism.
From the Paper "Pakistan, a nation for only 55 years, has had a unstable history. Ruled by the military for half its subsistence, it has seen three wars with India and the loss of much of its territory. The blend of political instability, deep-seated monetary and social problems, and access to nuclear weapons has made it one of the most intentionally sensitive countries in the world. The war in neighbouring Afghanistan has positioned it at the very centre of global attention and projected its military ruler, General Pervez Musharraf, onto the world stage."

"Struggle and Survival in the Modern Middle East", 2006. A review of the collection of biographies "Struggle and Survival in the Modern Middle East", edited by Edmund Burke III. 1,400 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 46.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract This paper reviews "Struggle and Survival in the Modern Middle East," a collection of biographies of twenty-four Middle Eastern men and women, edited by Edmund Burket. The author of this paper asserts that the sheer number and variety of these biographies undermines current stereotypes about the Arab mindset and challenges elite-centered accounts of how the Middle East has changed in modern times. The paper explains that the book is organized chronologically, tracing the history of the Middle East through the biographies. The paper provides a synopsis of several of these biographies and looks for commonalities, even among the diversity of stories.
From the Paper "Hibgo, an American truck driver, lived his life in Middle East and ended in United States. He started his challenging job of truck driving in iran by developing his own grop of drivers. The challenging nature of the truck driving profession in Iran during this formative period necessitated a truck driver's involvement in a guild. The guild served a variety of crucial needs through a network of shared information and credit based on mutual trust. In the 1930s Hagob became part of a guild consisting of Armenian and Assyrian members, who maintained their ties for decades. He and the others proudly wore their guild's insignia, a jeweler's handcrafted replica of the front portion of a transport vehicle."

Topics covered in this report include:
A Brief History
Peace in the 1990s
Bibliography
From the Paper "The Palestinians, previously subjects of the Ottoman Empire, were faced with a crisis of identity. They had never before considered themselves "Palestinians" in a national sense, but the massive influx of Jewish settlers and the declaration of Zionist intentions to establish statehood provoked the formation of a somewhat frail Palestinian community whose identity was centered on geographical as well as cultural similarities. This community was fractured by political infighting and the distribution of its citizens in a rural context."

The Vietnam War, 2005. This paper is a detailed narrative history of the Vietnam War. 4,390 words (approx. 17.6 pages), 21 sources, MLA, $ 115.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract This paper explains that the roots of the Vietnam War (1961-1975) really began with the fall of the French Colonial Empire at Dien Bien Phu, when the Americans became involved in the greatest war debacle in U.S. history. The author points out that this secret war was being conducted mainly by the Central Intelligence Agency and its founding Director Allen Dulles, the Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and President Dwight David Eisenhower. The paper explains that this war started when Ho Chi Min, the Communist strong man in Hanoi and founder of Viet-Cong, and Ngo Dinh Diem, president of South Vietnam, who had the full backing of the United States' assets, got involved in a gorilla war, which escalated into the Vietnam War from which Ho brought the United States to their knees in disgrace.
From the Paper "With the abrupt fall of the Japanese Empire in August of 1945, Ho Chi Minh seizes his opportunity. Using the established Viet Minh, formally known as Vietnam Doc Lap Dong Minh or The League for the Independence of Vietnam, Ho established at the 8th Plenum at Pac Bo, in May of 1941, as his tool. In September 1945, Ho Chi Minh declares Vietnam's independence in Hanoi. Surprisingly there is little to no opposition to his declaration and he feels confident his organizational structures and skills are sound. So confident, in fact, Ho goes to Paris in 1946 to negotiate the separation from France personally with his staff of advisors."

Japan and the United States, 2006. A review of Japanese-American relations, centering on a speech given by Aso Taro on December 7, 2005. 905 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 32.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract The paper reviews a speech given by Aso Taro, the Japanese foreign minister, on December 7, 2005, the 64th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The paper reviews the three concepts Taro used to define Japan and affirms each concept's truth. The writer states that the Japanese and American economies are highly interdependent. In conclusion, the writer feels that Japan and the United States form one, combined superpower.
From the Paper "Japan has come a long way and is in a very controlling position in the Asian community with democracy. Anything that Japan does reflects on the United States because they are both democracies. It seems as if Japan will continue to be an ally of the United States for years to come. It is very important to remain allies with Japan as well because of Japan's influence on the other side of the globe. The relationship between Japan and the United States is affected every day by simple actions that are completed. Aso Taro's speech only strengthened the bond between the two countries and continuing peace."

U.S. vs. Iraq: Is Negotiation Possible?, 2003. An analysis of each side's position in the U.S. - Iraq conflict, with an eye towards resolving the conflict through negotiation. 954 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 33.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract The paper applies Fisher and Ury's four principles of negotiation to the U.S. - Iraq conflict. It identifies the issues facing each of the parties, and analyzes why they are unready for negotiations. The paper concludes with the hope that some third party, such as the United Nations, might be able to step in and resolve the crisis. Note: The paper was written while Saddam Hussein was still in power.
From the Paper "The first step is to identify each party's interests. For the government of the United States, the interests are abundantly clear and have been repeatedly, positively stated: to protect the people and resources of America from a future terrorist attack. Allegations of "secret" interests - needing a new, cheap source of oil or the base desire to take revenge on the Arab world - have been just as abundant but are neither acknowledged by the government nor founded on any evidence, historical or otherwise; so until they are admitted or proven, they only serve as obstacles to negotiation. At this point in time, Iraq's primary interests exist as a response to America's positioning; the Iraqi government would like to survive in its current state and also to strengthen its economic and military situation."

Brazil's Economy, 2006. This paper details Brazil's economic history which is marked by a succession of cycles, each based on the exploitation of a single export commodity. 1,829 words (approx. 7.3 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 58.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract The writer of this paper examines Brazil's economy from the 16th century to the present. This paper focuses on U.S. investment which is concentrated heavily in the transportation equipment, food, chemicals, petroleum distribution and electronic equipment industries. The writer discusses Brazil's various exports including timber, precious metals, sugarcane and coffee. This paper also touches on Brazil's privatization program which was initiated in 1990 to reduce the size of the government and improve public sector fiscal balances.
From the Paper "As of July 1994, Brazil's new currency, the real, is linked to the country's international reserves. In the second area of concern--trade reform-import tariffs were considerably reduced. The average tariff came down from 32 percent in 1990 to 14 percent as of July 1993, and the maximum tariff was brought down from 105 percent to 35 percent. Moreover, all quantitative restrictions to trade were eliminated, making Brazil one of the very few countries in the world with no quantitative barriers to imports."

"Glory Denied", 2006. A book review of Tom Philpott's book, "Glory Denied". 1,460 words (approx. 5.8 pages), 0 sources, $ 48.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract The writer gives a brief summary of the book, which recounts the harrowing tales of America's longest-held prisoner of war during the Vietnam War, and the extreme affect his army career and years spent in captivity had on him and his family. The paper discusses the style in which the book is written, and compares the problems Jim Thompson and his family face after his return from Vietnam. In conclusion, the writer comments that war is not just about politics and abstract ideas, and that people pay a price with their lives, their sanity, and the lives of their family.
From the Paper "The problems faced by Jim Thompson and his family after his return could be superimposed on many life situations. Jim was suddenly plucked out of society for nine years only to drop back in after everyone and everything had progressed during that time. During his months of confinement, in order to bolster his mental health, he had dreamed of his ideal family at home, what they must be going through and the dream home they would have after his release. He was able to build upon the good times and the love, while ignoring or minimizing the problems that had begun to creep into the family before he left for Vietnam. He was then thrown back into a family that had grown up. His little girls were now teenagers, and his son, born the day after he was shot down, was a boy of nine. They had grown up with someone else filling the father role, and the adjustment was not a positive change for any involved. As Philpott's interview of John McCain so aptly puts it, "he was like Rip van Winkle". Waking up from captivity in Vietnam, nothing and nobody were the same when he returned. Through Philpott's interviews, he does much to shed light on the psychological impact of men separated from their loved ones for extended periods of time. Jim's life after the breakup of his family continued on a downhill slide. A second marriage ended with his wife clearing out the house to the walls. He was immersed in drinking nearly all his waking hours. His army career declined and there was talk of labeling him "non rehabilitatable". He was often drunk and the only other recourse the army would have was to discharge him. He entered therapy at Walter Reed hospital and it was here he had to face the reality of shattered dreams. But for Thompson, it was not just shattered dreams. It was shattered lives and shattered values. The values that he had built his life around prior to the war were in a shambles. He felt Alyce had betrayed him while he was in captivity. Yet couldn't quite grasp that the rosy picture he had held onto while in Vietnam was a collage of the idyllic life and not the reality he had come from. His place in the army afforded him the ability to give speeches about his years as a POW. However, as the seventies drew to a close, fewer and fewer groups were interested in hearing a former POW give a talk. His one area of expertise and knowledge began to slip away, and he continued to drink. His sense of betrayal ran to the very depths of his core, and still caused periods of isolation from his family and intense arguments."

Guided Missiles, 2006. This paper explores the technological development of guidance system weapons. 1,010 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 35.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract The writer of this paper examines the circumstances that brought about the development of guidance system weapons in 1944. This paper also discusses in-depth the influential role satellite communication technology had and continues to have in most areas of warfare as well as the importance of global positioning systems (GPS).
From the Paper "Although the atomic bomb was a revolutionary new weapon, it played no part in World War II until the end, and cannot be said to have had a profound impact on the actual conduct of war since. The effectiveness of nuclear weaponry is so extreme that, were it to be used, the results would be incalculable loss of life and destruction that could produce a complete change in the world as we know it today. It could also be said that the significance of the atomic bomb was in the elimination of warfare among the developed countries, but that has not happened. Instead, wars have continued almost unabated in one part of the world or another since then."

The Cold War, 2005. An overview of the causes, events and results of the Cold War between America and Russia. 1,018 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 36.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract The Cold War was a political reflection of strategic, ideological and economic rivalries between the USSR and America. This paper shows how the power struggle between the U.S. and the USSR had grave consequences on all domestic and foreign policies and impacted everyday life around the world.
From the Paper "In summary, what appeared was a new world order in which the United States held economic and military supremacy, challenged only by the Soviet Union. In that context, the West Pacific Rim and continental Europe recovered and resumed their pre-War growth paths by adopting international strategies to achieve national development, while the United States and the Soviet Union became increasingly distracted by military concerns."
