Abstract
This paper describes three different people - former aspiring novelist Kaavya Viswanathan, noted historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, and controversial former University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill - and how they engaged in plagiarism. The paper details what they did, how they got caught, and what the consequences were. The paper highlights how in each instance, the end result of their dishonesty was public humiliation and - in the cases of Viswanathan and Churchill - the effective destruction of their careers.

Abstract
The paper relates that Carly Churchill uses contrasting British epochs to illustrate the confused and sometimes perverse cultural values in her play Cloud Nine. The paper looks at how two children, siblings Edward and Victoria, are regarded through two specific lenses: Edwardian Colonial Africa and Margaret Thatcher's London. The paper shows how the frustrations and confusions they suffer in Thatcher's London illustrate a listless lack of moral faith in what they have learned as children, however, it is in the opulent, opening African setting of Act I where the seeds of confusion are scattered in their hearts and minds.

Abstract
This paper discusses some positive characteristics of NAFTA, however, the paper shows how NAFTA's overall affect on U.S. job creation and wage equality has been largely negative in character. The paper reaches the conclusion that some of the apparatus within NAFTA's regulatory structure that allow for negotiation and renegotiation should be utilized to make adjustments for the manifest economic impact that NAFTA has had on the U.S. economy and in particular, to account for U.S. job loss.

From the Paper
"This document discusses the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and its impact on the U.S. job market. Some positive characteristics of NAFTA are discussed however NAFTA's overall affect on U.S. job creation and wage equality has been largely negative in character.

Abstract
The paper discusses how the NAFTA seems to imperil this nation's valuable natural resources - most especially its water resources; in that regard, there is much concern about the NAFTA will mean, long-term, for Canada's freshwater reservoirs and for its fragile ecosystems. At the same time, the paper shows how the closer integration with the United States, various articles within the accord, the inevitable "push" towards harmonization vis-a-vis laws and regulations, and the development of supra-national trade tribunals courtesy the NAFTA, all seem to tug at the fabric of Canadian sovereignty. Finally, the paper notes that on the "plus" side, Canada is certainly gaining financially from free trade with the US. Ultimately, the question before Canadian governments is how much of their sovereignty are they willing to give up, how much of the country's natural resources are they prepared to see depleted, before they decide the financial gains are no longer worth it.

From the Paper
"The following paper will argue that the NAFTA has had a significant impact upon Canada. On one hand, the NAFTA seems to imperil this nation's valuable natural resources - most especially its water resources; in that regard, there is much concern about the NAFTA will mean, long-term, for Canada's freshwater reservoirs and for its fragile ecosystems. At the same time, the closer integration with the United States, various articles within the accord, the inevitable "push" towards harmonization vis-a-vis laws and regulations, and the development of supra-national trade tribunals courtesy of the NAFTA, all seem to tug at the fabric of Canadian..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the implementation of international trade organizations like NAFTA has in fact increased inequality between the rich and the poor. The writer notes that although NAFTA has helped to bring prosperity to industrialized democracies, poorer countries have been left behind. The writer further points out that some economists feel that trade organizations like NAFTA are intended to facilitate Western economic domination over Third World governments and economies.

From the Paper
"Never before in human history has the world been both so integrated and so divided, for the emergence and development of international trade organizations like NAFTA has integrated global trade while accelerating socioeconomic and political inequality between the rich and the poor. Although many industrialized democracies have thrived and prospered in recent years, many Third World countries like Mexico have been left behind and are mired in debt and poverty. "

Abstract
"This paper examines some of the costs and benefits of NAFTA for the Canadian economy. The author evaluates whether or not NAFTA could ever evolve into a more comprehensive alliance along the lines of the European Union. The paper relates that, determining the value of NAFTA to Canada is not a clear-cut case of good or bad.

From the Paper
"There are a variety of benefits and costs for Canada when considering continued participation in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). In fact, depending on who is questioned, the risks will alternately outweigh or underscore the benefits that NAFTA has to offer Canada. Determining the value of NAFTA, accordingly, is not a clear-cut case of good or bad. Instead, there are a myriad number of forces at work that can make NAFTA appealing in some instances but not others."

Abstract
This paper discusses the overall foundation support for NAFTA within the three signatory countries of the US, Mexico and Canada, with an emphasis on the US and Mexico. It tries to prove that NAFTA was not the drain on jobs, industry and trade that it was thought that it might be. The paper mentions the the trade benefits that Additionally, NAFTA has facilitated.

From the Paper
"NAFTA has taken on somewhat mythical proportions in the minds of its proponents and detractors alike. NAFTA seemed to strike an emotional chord with the three original countries involved but primarily struck a dissonant tone with the U.S. and Mexico. To its detractors NAFTA offered a convenient scapegoat for all of the economic woes since its inception in January 1994, and to its proponents it has been responsible for most of the economic growth periods of the last 10 years. However, to all parties, NAFTA became so much the focus of all the individual country agendas that even in popular jargon it was referred to as exhibiting the fly-paper syndrome--that is, "...throw any criticism at NAFTA and it sticks...When the toilets stopped working in their office recently, they were sure NAFTA was to blame" (Dunne, Fidler & Waldmeir, 1997, para.1). Yet, beyond all the hype, ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the article "Turning Points in International Organization," by Daniel Druckman. The writer explains the three types of turning points that Druckman identifies as instrumental to international organization--procedural, substantive, and external--and describes how Druckman gives examples to back the claims that he makes. The writer also describes Druckman's conclusions about security negotiations and environmental and trade negotiations, with external turning points being more influential on the former and substantive turning points affecting the latter. The paper concludes that because trade, and especially environmental issues affect the world as a whole, Druckman's scholarship regarding turning points will positively affect the future of international negotiations if extreme globalization due to communications technology is taken into account.

From the Paper
"While this application of turning points is an interesting contributor to the continuing discussion of international relations negotiations, Druckman suggests it has significant implications for one's understanding of international negotiation. While security issues were most associated with external turning points, suggesting an adversarial type of negotiation environment, environmental and trade negotiations were associated with internal, or substantive and procedural, turning points. This suggests a collaborative environment. Thus, Druckman suggests that these turning points allow others to view the differing attitudes with which governments view different types of negotiations (Druckman 522-523)."
