Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that a solution proposed to the organ donor shortage is the commercialization of human body parts, and that this is a solution well worth investigation. The writer notes that in this increasingly commercial world it should come as no surprise that individuals are willing to pay for organ transplants. In fact, individuals do pay for organ transplants on a regular basis, but they do so in a manner that is currently against the law and frequently very dangerous. The writer discusses that through putting law and regulation in place individuals could receive organ transplants without leaving their own country, and donors from within the same country could receive monetary compensation for their organ donation, as well as proper medical after care. The writer concludes that if commercialized organ donation is what it will take to save lives and to prevent the exploitation of the less fortunate who are coerced into illegal and unsafe organ donation, then it should be considered a very viable solution.

From the Paper
"Due to the organ crisis, there is a rampant black market for organs, especially kidneys, that sees individuals in deprived, often third-world countries selling their organs to rich Westerners. There are a number of serious and medically dangerous issues associated with this growing trend, not least of which is the unsatisfactory care provided to the donors. Individuals who donate their organs usually do so for very small amounts of money and receive substandard health care following their donation. The doctors who perform these illicit operations are the ones who benefit financially, while the individual who purchased the organ usually survives much longer, but still may not receive the best after-care due to the illegal nature of the operation. The donors often experience a decrease in livelihood and standard of living as they develop medical conditions that prevent them from participating in the manual labour force that is usually the only available employment. Regardless of restrictions and laws against these black market transactions, they continue, and will continue, and almost understandably. Being faced with a life threatening condition and having the means to remedy the situation through the wielding of power and money would be an opportunity not easily turned down by many individuals."

Abstract
This paper explains the development of non-profit microfinancing, which gave poor people the ability to help themselves, and the extension of this movement into for-profit microfinancing organizations. Next, the author suggests that for-profit microfinance banks will give better service to the poor because these organizations will compete by offering different rates, benefits, advice and technologies. The paper proposes a quantitative study comparing the treatment of clients, interest rates, services offered, loans dispersed and money earned by a private, not-for-profit microfinancing organization and a for-profit commercialized microfinancing institution.

From the Paper
"In addition to the individual level, the commercialization of microfinance has several benefits on the macroeconomic level. Competing institutions is the first step to building a viable market economy. Learning how to compete on the financial realm will allow businesses to understand competition within the market environment, encouraging them to invest in other mediums, to trade with other countries, and to master the concepts of opportunity cost and production possibilities, which will move them forward in self sustainability."

Abstract
This paper discusses how human intelligence and cultural diversity have given rise to a tremendous variety of societal beliefs about romantic love and marriage. In particular, this paper looks at how, in the United States, sex and love have been commercialized to such a degree that it is clearly the dominant overall marketing theme of the advertising industries.

From the Paper
"Generally, commercial advertising exploits the same idealistic and unrealistic image of romantic love and marriage that has always been promoted by the motion picture, music recording and television industries. Romance novels, movies and popular music all rely on the romantic notion of "true love," according to which each person has a corresponding "perfect" mate waiting to be found. Furthermore, both American popular culture and commercial advertising have always invested heavily in the theme of "happily ever after," according to which true love, once found, is always wonderful and everlasting."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Capell's article notes how the London commercial real estate sector has been battered by the global downturn - to the point where many office building projects have been put on hold. The paper relates that the article points out that commercial property values fell 27 percent in 2008 and another 3.5 percent in January of this year. The paper notes that according to at least one expert with a leading firm, the British commercial property sector was the first to react to the financial crisis (Capell, 2009).

Abstract
This paper discusses one of the central themes of the internal politics of sports, as being the conflict between commercial professional ethos and amateur elite ethos. The paper discusses the growing commercialism in British sports since 1945 and explores and analyzes the different perspectives of amateur elitism and commercial professionalism.

From the Paper
"It is also worth noting that even during the peak of the amateur ideal, professionalism and commercialism were not eradicated, nor always treated with hostility . They were instead, bounded and subordinated for the most part. Arguably, distinctions between the amateur and professional sportsman remained crucial in that they "helped maintain a pre-existing set of social relations" and "often served to preclude or circumscribe class competition in sport" Though by the 1950s with the foundations of Britain's 'New Jerusalem' firmly laid ideas that the gentlemanly amateur should outrank the paid professional became unfashionable. Social change and a "less deferential spirit" provided the impetus for challenging traditional hierarchies of power in sports. Indeed the 1950s is often seen as the decade "when a set of crucial changes were set in train which were set to usher in the 'modern' game" of professionalized sports."

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to provide a general overview of the discipline of commercial art. To do so, a number of topics will be touched upon so that readers can gain a broad understanding of the importance of commercial art in contemporary culture, as well as some of the means by which commercial art is produced.

From the Paper
"The importance of commercial art and the artists who create it cannot be overemphasized. Western, capitalist societies depend upon the skills that commercial artists possess. Quite simply, "commercial artists create a moving record of social moods and public perceptions ... because art, emotion, and business interests converge in advertising" ("Area of Study" par. 2). Put another way, capitalism is built on advertising. Without advertising, producers would not be able to convince consumers that they have an artificial need for a given product. Commercial art is the medium through which advertising operates and the proverbial glue that holds together the economic systems of Western nations. The purpose of this study is to provide a general overview of the discipline of commercial art. "

Abstract
The paper discusses surveys which study the effect of TV commercials on children. The paper relates that the food industry has increased its advertising to all ages, including children, which is having a negative impact on their health. The paper suggests that companies should be held responsible for their influence on children, or at least present a more rounded view of food and nutrition. The paper also states that children have been bombarded by food marketing, which has resulted in higher rates of obesity. The paper ,after referring to various situations, concludes that a relationship has been found between television commercials and eating.

From the Paper
"A similar study was conducted in Europe, where children do not eat enough fruit and vegetables and where exposure to TV is negatively associated with the intake of these foods. This study by Klepp et. al. (2007) explored exposure to food commercials on TV in nine European countries with approximately 12, 750 children to determine the association between this exposure and attitudes toward eating fruits and vegetables. The authors state that the children report exposure more to more unhealthy foods than healthy ones such as fruits and vegetables. However, those who were exposed to fruit and vegetable TV ads were much more positively disposed toward eating these foods. These findings point to the important, and more positive, role that TV could play in supporting healthy eating messages."

Abstract
This paper contends that commercials are far less sexist and less racist now than they were 50 years ago or even a generation ago. The writer discusses that subtle sexism is as dangerous as the more explicit varieties, because it is harder to identify and therefore to fight against. In this article, the writer explores sexism in the world of the television commercial.

From the Paper
"Most of us try to avoid thinking about commercials. We reach for our remote to mute them, wander out of the room during them, talk to our roommates, do some homework on our laptops. And because we try to ignore commercials much of the time, we believe that their influence on us is minimized. We are not really paying attention so we do not think that they are affecting us. But the average American is exposed to thousands of ads and commercials every year and even if we are ... '

Abstract
In this article, the writer reviews two notable short stories that are excellent examples of "commercial" fiction, "A Municipal Report" and "literary" fiction "A Jury of Her Peers". In brief, the paper outlines character development, plot and theme with an "eye" towards underscoring how William Sidney Porter's "A Municipal Report" is intended as a light-hearted, diversionary romp through a Southern town in early-twentieth century America while Glaspell's "A Jury of Her Peers" is really a troubling look at how men cannot perceive the "trifles" of women's lives - trifles which offer clues about the violence which drives some of them to commit murder.

Abstract
The paper considers the strategic plan, implementation and recommendations for the Commercial Bank of Kuwait.

From the Paper
"The global banking industry has recently been confronted with issues that have called the industry itself into question. As the credit crisis has spread from the United States to Europe and beyond, investors and customers of banks around the world have become increasingly concerned about the role of financial institutions in their lives and the safety of their savings and investments. Ideally, companies conduct strategic audits as part of their regular business activities in order to ensure that their strategy..."
