Abstract
This paper examines elements of the integumentary system. The paper looks out how the system helps maintain homeostasis as well as first, second and third degree burns., why no cancers arise in the stratum corneum, and the effects of a reduced subcutaneous tissue layer in the newborn and the aged on temperature control.

From the Paper
"You go to the beach to swim on an extremely hot sunshiny afternoon Describe two ways in which your integumentary system acts to preserve homeostasis during your outing The integumentary system preserves homeostasis in the body by regulating temperature and water loss on a hot day The body temperature is kept stable by the production of sweat which cools the body as it evaporates on the skin's surface The sweat glands can release between one and two liters of water per hour The Integumentary System

" The Role of Multinational Corporations in the Transfer of Technology to LDCS: Issues and Recommendations
The transfer of technology is one of the greatest benefits a lesser developed country (LDC) can hope for when allowing a multinational corporation (MNC) to invest in it. Back in the early 1960s, and even before, economists, motivated by the Prebisch hypothesis, were advocating policies of import substitution and export promotion for LDCS. Government officials in LDCs hoped that this could be accomplished through the MNCS. With this form of direct investment, the host country would acquire the processes of production and the management and marketing skills which they lacked. Eventually, the LDCs would catch up and the gap between the wealthy developed countries and their own poor countries would be bridged."

Abstract
This paper explains a hypothetical legal case in which Jack must represent himself; Jill is suing Jack for negligence because she had coffee at Jack's office that was scalding hot and burned her mouth and face. The paper reviews the details of the significant precedent case of Stella Liebeck versus McDonald's in which she sued them for negligence after she opened a cup of coffee, held between her knees, spilling the coffee and giving her third degree burns. The paper outlines the elements of negligence cases to determine the most effective means for Jack's response, which is thought to be contributory negligence.

From the Paper
"You can assert to the judge and jury that, in light of these findings in the McDonald's coffee case, your coffee pot maker is no hotter than coffee pot makers in other offices or homes. You us a regular coffee maker just like everyone else, and are under no pressure to sell a certain amount of coffee daily or package that coffee accordingly. The only possible argument anyone may pose is to say that in your line of office work you are regularly giving people coffee, which is a fair assumption."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the arguments for and against the global trading system, explaining that the system has benefited economies that are both industrialized and developing, albeit with unequal results. The paper asserts that while developed nations encourage the openness of international trading markets, there are certain contradictions inherent in the system in which the Third World is compromised on certain issues of free trade. The paper states that there are differing opinions within developing nations as to how advantageous the international trading system is for their economies, and it is widely presumed that industrialized nations don't want poor countries to become competitive in the global economy, particularly because rich countries ignore Third World nations' requests for debt rescheduling. The paper concludes that although certain policies are being improved upon, the Third World still believes that the West is forcing them to open their markets too quickly, while restricting Third World exports.

From the Paper
"Anti-trade policies were largely responsible for the severity of the debt crisis of the LDCs. In effect, the crisis was resolved because of debt restructuring and forgiveness. However, the developing nations in East Asia were able to capitalize on the free trade system and became models for economic development for the rest of the Third World. As the debt crisis began to spread across the globe, the "Four Tigers" embraced trade liberalization with successful import substitution. "For South Korea and Taiwan, which were receiving extensive foreign assistance, export earnings would eventually have to replace foreign aid as a source of financing" (Spero and Hart 231). Hence, these economies shifted more towards outward-oriented polices of exporting and reducing tariff barriers. As a result, these economies were able to generate higher revenues from FDI while still subsidizing specific industries while allowing the "invisible hand" to work more freely."

Abstract
"In the age of globalization, retailers frequently outsource the assembly of their products to lower-cost foreign countries in order to obtain the advantages of cost arbitrage. Over the past twenty years, American shoe and clothing retailers have been on the forefront of this trend. Major brands such as Nike and Reebok have come to be associated with what are known as 'sweatshops,' or Third World production facilities that, particularly to Western observers, reek of unfair labor conditions at best and criminal employment practices at worst. Growing consumer awareness of outsourcing and the political upheaval generated by globalization have combined to generate a fiery debate over the topic of sweatshops."

Sweatshops and Third World Poverty: Trusting, but Tweaking, the Market Introduction In the age of globalization, retailers frequently outsource the assembly of their products to lower-cost foreign countries in order to obtain the advantages of cost arbitrage. Over the past twenty years, American shoe and clothing retailers have been on the forefront of this trend. Major brands such as Nike and Reebok have come to be associated with what are known as `sweatshops,' or Third World production facilities that, particularly to Western observers, reek of unfair labor conditions at best and criminal employment practices at worst.

Abstract
This paper discusses the predictions of changes coming to the Hispanic community which are based on the birth-rate of second and third generation immigrants currently outstripping the entrance of first generation immigrants from Spanish speaking countries. According to the paper, this shift will create dramatic changes as the new generations attempt to communicate their differences in values and perspectives as their language and cultural values shift from those of their parents' or grandparents' countries to those of the United States. The changes, although perhaps less pronounced due to the United States relatively new "salad bowl" perspective on culture, will be both sweeping and inevitable.

From the Paper
"The Hispanic community in the United States is changing. This change is not a result of any outside forces; rather, it is coming from within the Hispanic community itself. The change was inevitable, coming from the growth of the community over time. With this change come the inevitable difficulties between generations, only exacerbated by a new language and a new culture--and even a new way of thinking. The Hispanic community is changing because the population of "second generation" immigrants, the children of people who came to the United States, is overtaking the number of Hispanic people coming into the country.

Abstract
The paper looks at the issue of security in a day and age when so much of our information is being stored electronically - or even online. The paper focuses on the troubling proliferation of "degree mills" and outright fraud within the IT sector and discusses how more and more people appear keen on passing themselves off as something they are not in an effort to secure high-paying and highly prestigious jobs with the government - or with the private sector. The paper looks at three internet news sources - two of which look at a troubling case of fraud involving a former high-ranking bureaucrat within the US government, while the other one looks at what schools are doing to prepare and produce legitimately-qualified computer systems analysts and technicians capable of securing the nation's networks from attack. The paper concludes that while the "system" is not fool-proof, at least it is showing signs of moving towards a comprehensive, systematic approach for giving the IT sector the people it needs - as opposed to individuals who are only interested in advancing their own personal agendas.

From the Paper
"The following paper will present some critical thinking on current events as they pertain to computer information systems. Specifically, the paper will look at the issue of security in a day and age when so much of our information is being stored electronically - or even online. However, where this paper will diverge from most essays on this subject is that the focus of attention will not be upon fire-walls or hacker-resistant codes or security protocols for tightly controlling access to a database, but upon the troubling proliferation of "degree mills" and outright fraud within the IT sector. Put simply, more and more people appear keen on..."

Abstract
This six-page undergraduate paper discusses gender from anthropological perspective and finds out how transsexuals are treated in different societies of the world. While males and female may fight each other over who is stronger, they are the fortunate ones for they belong to two accepted genders but for transsexuals adjusting to the norms of restrictive societies may not be easy as they are not considered a part of the social fabric in many cultures of the world.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although the Australian government signed the international United Nations Genocide Convention Bill in 1948 and ratified it in 1951, none of its provisions have been implemented into federal law. The author argues that Australia was guilty of at least three, possibly four, acts of genocide: (1) The private genocide, the physical killing committed by the settlers and rogue police officers of the nineteenth century, (2) transferring children from one group to another with the express intention that they cease being Aboriginal, (3) attempting to achieve the biological disappearance of those deemed 'half-caste' Aborigines and (4) actions to protect Aborigines in fact caused them serious bodily or mental harm. This paper contends that Australia continues to oppress its indigenous population through its conscious disregard of its responsibility to international law and refusal to accept that this nation was founded on a long standing history of suppression and genocide.

From the Paper
"Government policy and practice underwent an ideological shift late in the 19th century, based on the popular concept of Social Darwinism and the belief that Aborigines were soon to become extinct. The implementation of 'protection' legislation that had been gaining momentum during the mid 19th century shifted focus from protection segregation, relocating Aborigines to reserves and missions, to forced assimilation under the excuse of "saving a dying race." The ultimate message of the Aborigines Protection Act 1886 in Victoria was that 'full-blood' Aborigines would die out and 'half-castes' would eventually blend seamlessly into 'civilized' society, bringing 'finality to the Aboriginal problem' and leaving white Australia to eventually forget that there were ever any Aborigines in Australia."

Abstract
SUMMARY: Thinking about getting a degree from a foreign university? What are the benefits of getting a degree from a foreign university? Thinking about taking the plunge and studying for a degree in another country? Looking at Duke University that offers students the chance to study abroad and comparing it to the article in Oxford Review of Education's article called "Study Abroad: A Competitive Edge for Women," this paper will discuss whether obtaining a university degree from a foreign university would have advantages and what these advantages would be.
