Abstract
The paper relates that Behemoth Motors Corporation (Behemoth) is an automotive manufacturer based in the United States (US) that sells and markets a variety of automobiles including a sport utility vehicle or SUV. The paper discusses how the company now offers a global positioning satellite (GPS) system with each SUV sold. The paper relates that currently, the GPS systems are manufactured in Detroit, and the current demand for GPS units for Behemoth's SUVs is 8000 units per month at a cost per unit of $425. The paper adds that the GPS units are put through a rigorous quality control process and 98 percent of all GPS units manufactured are installed in the company's SUVs at the factory. The paper examines how Behemoth's GPS unit manager is considering the cost-benefit and competitive advantage of outsourcing GPS unit manufacturing to an overseas contract manufacturer.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses whether or not the Dow Corporation is an ethical company. The writer essay examines Dow and its relation to our society. The writer examines whether this gigantic behemoth in the chemicals industry benefits or harms society. The writer maintains that Dow Chemical holistically is positive for the human race as it creates products to clean the environment, strives to achieve sustainability for the human race, designs new alternative energy technology, and cares about humans as it develops. However, the writer concludes that Dow is also a potential risk to the environment as well as the lives of humans.

From the Paper
"Though Dow Chemical apologized and stopped its production eventually, Dow clearly has committed crimes against the environment in order to make profits for themselves. In addition, the press has noted that Dow sometimes releases pollutant chemicals into the environment; for example, there's a huge Dioxin mess at the Tittabawasee and Saginaw Rivers in Michigan that they're responsible for, yet they've done little to clean up this potentially life-threatening chemical mess. Lastly, once in India, some poisonous gas leaked out killing almost 8000 people, and this was somewhat Dow's responsibility. There definitely exists a third party press against their "human element" advertisement, and clearly, Dow Chemical is by far not a perfect company. Yet, some third-party press believes it's a good company. Dow currently is seen as a "green giant," through its 2015 sustainability goal, recent energy / carbon emission reduction plan, and many research projects spearheading the alternative energy research / environmental cleanup. But Dow clearly is not without flaws. "

Abstract
This paper discusses how the Internet search engine behemoth, Google, was given permission by federal antitrust regulators to acquire the video-sharing site, YouTube, for $1.65 million. It looks at how this represents a tremendous market edge for Google against its leading competitors, Yahoo and Microsoft, in the fields of Internet domination.

From the Paper
"Another problem with Yahoo or Microsoft seeking out a new property is that part of the advantage of being a first market mover in a new social technology, such as the Internet, is that once such a social hub is created, it is difficult to alter people's habits, and to encourage people to post their videos in other network places. Part of the pleasure of posting information is reading friends' comments. The Internet is about a conversation between users, and people have grown accustomed to posting their videos on YouTube for familiar users to see. The Internet market sector is already dominated only by a few competitors and the market has become even narrower with the growing omnipresence of Google in its information, social, and video components."

Abstract
This paper asks whether the office of the Canadian Prime Minister is a behemoth that should be dismantled before one or another occupant of it becomes a megalomaniac. The paper questions if Canada's Prime Minister, the office and/or the person filling it, is more powerful than is good or wise for Canada's future.

From the Paper
"One might argue that Canada would want to avoid emulating anything U.S, at this precarious juncture in U.S. history especially, and as the power of the U.S. presidency is also being weighed by pundits from all ends of the political spectrum. Laxer noted "modern technologies and the liberal ethos of the free market dissolved Canada's distinctive culture. Grant predicted Canada's demise in the long run because it had adopted American values" (2000, p. 55). It is arguable that the office of the Prime Minister creates, for Canada, an atmosphere that emulates that of the United States. It is arguable that, if Canada wishes to continue a strong federal system that serves all its citizens, the office of the Prime Minister is indeed too powerful."

Abstract
This paper examines Russia as facing the greatest challenge in the transition from plan to market. It might even be argued that Russia faces the greatest political and economic challenge the world has ever known. As the mother of communism, Russia was longer steeped in its tenets than its satellite states. And as a geo-political behemoth, creating social consensus and moving towards democratic consolidation has always been next to impossible. In the end, Russia is an un-natural economic and political unit. To present, this has made success impossible, and more of the same can be expected in the future. Russia's next leader will inherit a legacy that is unwieldy, corrupt, bankrupt (morally and financially), and almost doomed to failure. Only if you have the hands of a magician, Mr. Primakov, can you make something of this disaster.

Abstract
This paper examines the classic literary saga Beowulf whose theme is the concept of ultimate good battling and vanquishing ultimate evil. The paper focuses on the retelling of the story through American author John Gardner's 1971 novel "Grendel" which presents the monster Grendel in a different light and not as the grim and unhappy spirit he is usually portrayed.

From the Paper
"Perhaps for this reason, Grendel has become almost as much a subject for discourse as Beowulf himself has. Editorial commenting in the numerous translations and interpretations of the poem have often included comments on the man monster. The many books and articles written on the poem usually include passages of chapters about him, his actions, motivations and personalities. Almost all of these works are usually written within the context of the poem, that is in direct relation to the hero Beowulf himself, "Grendel acts in such a manner because Beowulf does" is the usual rule followed."
