Abstract
The paper discusses how in "Mountains beyond Mountains", one of the central points that author Tracy Kidder makes is that Farmer is dissatisfied with the current distribution of money and medicines in the world. Indeed, the paper shows how Farmer's selfless personal odyssey, and even his somewhat paradoxical desire to work harder in order to be a saint, are motivated by his anger and concern at the inequitable distribution of wealth and medicine. The paper discusses his opinion of the distribution of these forms of wealth, showing that his opinion has much in common with Farmer's. The paper also discusses aspects the writer would change, if he could.

From the Paper
"However, the problem of fundamental Islamic forces is one that casts its shadow over much of Asia and the Middle East, and, since 2001, in America. It is a force that must be reckoned with, as its mission is the eradication of non-Muslims, and, subsequent that, as we have seen in Sudan, a continued cleansing based on race. For this reason, Pakistan, in its weakened political state arising out of the weak stature of Musharraf's leadership, and in subsequent the recent assassination of Benazir Bhutto, and given its nuclear capability, is perhaps right now the most dangerous country in the world."

Abstract
In his book "All the Troubles in the World," P. J. O'Rourke gives the reader his humorous and optimistic interpretations of such unlikely subjects as overpopulation, ethnic hatred and famine. The paper shows that, while at first glance his opinions seem flippant and coy, he raises the complex issue of personal responsibility versus government control. The paper explains how he questions whether governments should be increasing their power over the individual and the environment and whether overpopulation and famine are inherently political problems.
From the Paper
"Unfortunately, while the comparison is striking, O'Rourke only half-answers the question. His tour of Bangladesh suggests that the government would do well to change its national policies which subsidize jute farming while leaving a scant 17% of its rural population literate. He claims it is a country whose "only resources are human, whose only hope is an educated work force." The most notable difference, then, between those two places is the government systems that are imposed on them. While Bangladesh "seemed to be a country with too many people," it was actually "people without a country." Bangladesh is then too huge a responsibility for one government to manage. "

Abstract
The paper analyzes the positive and negative aspects of the new global economy from "The World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century" by Thomas Friedman. The paper discusses how the positive aspects of Friedman's analysis reveal how a "flat world" or level playing field has now been introduced to benefit greater corporate advantages through new computer technologies, while the negativity is the wanton disregard for these first world corporations to give fair wages. The paper explains that since many jobs can now be sent overseas without any restrictions, the negativity of the new global market is only driven by what country offers the cheapest labor.

Abstract
This paper explains that "The World of Suzie Wong", which is based on the novel of the same name, presents an image of Hong Kong, from a Western perspective, in the post Second World War colonial era. The author points out that the movie deals openly with such complex issues as racism and class conflict, which in 1960 was progressive. The paper stresses, nonetheless, that this film also expresses many stereotypes with regard to race gender and ethnic stereotypes, which demonstrate it to be a production of its era.
From the Paper
The Hollywood movie "The World of Suzie Wong" (1960), based upon the novel of the same name, presents an image of Hong Kong in the post-Second World War colonial era from a Western perspective. The movie deals openly and, for its time, progressively with such complex issues as racism and class conflict. However, at the same time it also expresses many stereotypes with regard to race, gender and ethnic stereotypes that demonstrate it to be a production of its era. It is in the mingling of these two aspects in the film - the multicultural and progressive and the Eurocentric and the stereotypical - that make the film's depiction of Hong Kong in the early 1960s so powerful."

Abstract
The paper examines Friedman's "The World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century" in which Friedman explores the significant changes that have taken place in the hi-tech industry during the past few years and severely criticizes those who do not embrace these changes. The paper discusses how Friedman believes the world to be flat due to the following ten factors: 11/9/89, 8/9/95, work flow software, open-sourcing, outsourcing, offshoring, supply-chaining, in-sourcing, in-forming and the steroids. The paper demonstrates how Friedman portrays these factors as flattening the world and breaking past barriers to create a globalized economy and environment.
From the Paper
"The chapter begins with Friedman's story of a walk in Berlin, glancing at the nearly fallen down German wall. The author believes that not only was the construction a painful scar on Berlin's face, but it also represented the impediment in worldwide unification as it divided countries. "The Berlin Wall was not only blocking our way; it was blocking our sight -- our ability to think about the world as a single market, a single ecosystem, and a single community..."

Abstract
This paper examines the purpose of mankind in William Shakespeare's time, looking specifically at the character of Malvolio ("Twelfth Night"),in order to emphasize the importance of character flexibility in the changing world. The paper examines how the character of Malvolio shifts from a man who holds the respect of others to a comic figure, but his downfall occurs because he follows his societal role too strictly and cannot learn to shift mindset and attitude, a characteristic that marks the successful protagonists, Viola, Olivia, and Orsino. The paper shows that in "Twelfth Night", Malvolio is set in his decision to win Olivia's hand, but he fails due to his inability to adapt to new situations, revealing Shakespeare's view that a man who cannot alter himself to fit new situations will not be able to succeed.
From the Paper
"From the beginning of the story, Malvolio entertains the idea of becoming husband to Olivia, as when he daydreams, "Maria once/ told me she did affect me; and I have heard herself/ come thus near, that, should she fancy, it should/ be one of my complexion" (II.v.22-6). Malvolio sees himself as a fit suitor for Olivia, and is determined to act in ways that he believes will win her hand. As a Puritan, many of Malvolio's characteristics are serious and somber, his natural dignity and grave conduct preventing him from joking and outwitting others. Believing Olivia to be a state of honest mourning, he views his similarly serious demeanor to be appropriate to win her trust, and eventually her hand. The first appearance of Malvolio reveals his inflexible nature; after the Clown tries to win back Olivia's favor, Malvolio insults him and is in turn mocked. Olivia explains to him, "To be generous,/ guiltless, and of free disposition, is to take those/ things for birdbolts that you deem cannon bullets" (I.v.91-3). Malvolio cannot take any matters touching him lightly, because he is set in his ways and unable to adapt. Rather than dodging criticisms and jokes as Olivia suggests, Malvolio turns to insults and reveals his immovable nature. His somberness is suited to fit Olivia's state of mourning, but as Olivia moves towards a normal life again, Malvolio's somber attitude grates on her nerves and a complete outward change is needed to keep her interest."
