From the Paper
"The topic I have selected is an examination of the impact of globalized industrialism on the cultural heritage of the developing world. As this is an extremely broad topic, I have narrowed it down to an examination of a particular case study. In Mexico, Wal-Mart, via its subsidiary, Bodega Aurrera, is the nation's biggest employer. This gives it massive power in Mexico - power to exploit resources, allegedly bribe officials, and so on.

The paper includes details of their rich cultural history,language, dances, ceremonies and diet as well as some illustrations and map.

From the Paper
"According to the archeological record the Miwok peoples, sometimes called the Coast Miwok were occupants of a rather large territory in present day California reaching from Bodega Bay through Point Reyes Peninsula to the present town of Sonoma. The tribe inhabited all of present Marin County, where to date there have been over 600 village sites uncovered, with a high saturation of village sites being found near the coast and on the Peninsula. Carbon dating and other techniques estimate that the Miwok inhabited the area for at least 5,000 years. Spanish mission building finally brought the long historical record to a close as the Miwok all but disappeared as a result of being utilized by the Spanish as a labor force for mission building and agriculture.

Abstract
It is generally acknowledged that globalized industrialism is having a huge impact on the cultural heritage of the developing world. This essay analyzes a particular example of this, namely, the impact that Wal-Mart is having on the cultural heritage of Mexico, especially in one site, where a new branch of Wal-Mart subsidiary Bodega Aurrera has recently been built on an Aztec archaeological site, despite local protests. As will be shown, it seems likely that the price Mexico is paying is too high.

Abstract
This paper examines why a bottle of Bodegas Escortihuela Argentine wine costs over $20 in the United States and less than $2 in Argentina. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, Argentina is the fourth largest wine producer in the world and the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. The paper looks at Argentina's export record, the cost of producing wine in Argentina, tax issues and reasons why Argentina bothers exporting its wine. The paper includes tables.

From the Paper
"Due largely to its European heritage, the citizens of Argentina are some of the largest consumers of wine in the world. Because of this, wine is sold through a number of channels in that nation, all of them for the most part, strongly supervised by both the nation and the state. In general, the wines are sold to the consumer at a price that is roughly 500 percent of cost. If a bottle of Cabernet cost $1 (including labor, corking, packing) then by the time it would reach the consumer, it would bear a retail price of $5."

Abstract
In the movie "The Birds" (1963), director Alfred Hitchcock suggests themes of horror related to primal fears of nature. While the story is based on the story "The Birds" by Daphne Du Maurier, the film version made many changes in the process of adaptation. The paper shows that the changes Hitchcock made utilized the same tensions as the original story while adapting the tale to something that could better take advantage of the visual element so important on the screen. It shows that these changes create a film that is more visual, but also develop the human element to a greater degree, shape the narrative for a different time and setting and create a different sense of the vagaries of nature and the way human beings fit into the natural world.

From the Paper
"The first change noted is that the story no longer takes place at a farm surrounded by the sea, for now the setting is the coastal village of Bodega Bay in California and not a distant region of England. The original story is about a disabled man and his family, while the Hitchcock film begins the story with the meeting of a woman and man in San Francisco. Melanie Daniels meets Mitch in a pet store where Mitch is looking for a pair of lovebirds for his younger sister. The movie version therefore has the trappings of a traditional romance from the first, and the element of fear will be something that tests the romance and creates contrasts between the way the world was before the meeting and the way it becomes after. The suspense develops slowly as the couple travels to Bodega Bay, as Melanie meets some of the people there, and as the nature she is now exposed to begins to change into something deadly. The suspense increases as birds begin to attack, first singly, then in groups of hundreds and thousands of birds, all behaving contrary to their normal placid nature."
