Abstract
This paper refers to course materials to explain differing view of globalization in relation to regulation, government policies, their effects. The paper looks at how Landsberg takes a typically liberal view of non-protectionism, and non-government interference, as compared to Stanford who points out the defects of poor policy made by governments that can show a low understanding of Canadian economics and society. The paper also addresses the decline of Canadian manufacturing and lost employment, and the reduced consumer base in both Canada and the U.S. and its implications.

From the Paper
"This paper centers on two views of economic changes due to free trade and the forces of Globalization. Steven Landsberg is a professor of economics at the University of Rochester to presume that the American political system will continue to function as it has, for in his view it is logical and the absence of protectionism should be seen as promoting consumer choice and therefore as a demonstration of rights. Landsberg mentions free trade in relation to American job loss, outsourcing abroad, and American wages that cannot compete with those abroad to produce cheaper imported..."

Abstract
This paper explains that, as gear-manufacturing technology became more complex, it was more difficult to perform gear measurements with the degree of accuracy required; thus, precision in the field of gear-manufacturing began to suffer partly as a result of this declining precision. The author points out that the demands of total quality management systems, such as Six Sigma and ISO 9000, continue to raise the level of expectation to a defect-free manufacturing, which is being addressed by adding new multi-sensor units to coordinate measurement machines. The paper relates that coordinate measuring machines are not yet able to completely replace CNC generative gear testers, but demands from the automotive industry, new technologies and globalization are creating an environment where these machines will continue to improve in efficiency, precision and cost effectiveness.

From the Paper
"To understand how we got to where we are today, an understanding of CNC Generative Gear Testing Machines may help to clarify the improvements on Coordinate Measurement Machines. CNC generative gear testers are nothing more than computer controlled and fully automated machines that can used to carry out various analytic tests on manufactured gears. The true difference between coordinate measuring machines and the CNC Generative Gear Testing Machines is that the latter are specifically for testing gears. Of course, many in the industry feel that CNC generative gear testers are the most accurate way of measuring axis gears. Coordinate measuring machine offer different options. For instance, coordinate measuring machines have the ability to plot and record many more axis positions. Once recorded, these axis positions serve as the necessary data points to create either two or three dimensional models of a gear or part."

Abstract
The paper discusses how as trade barriers come down and as the world grows more inter-connected and inter-dependent, it is tempting to suggest that free trade is the antidote to world hunger. After all, more permeable national boundaries and unhindered trade between one region and the other would seem, on the surface, to make it easier for foodstuffs to travel from one location to another, thereby resulting in food finding its way into the hands of people who desperately need it. Unfortunately, the paper argues, free trade and the global marketplace do not work in quite that way. Specifically, this paper explores how free trade globalization has compelled some areas of the globe to specialize or concentrate in the harvesting/cultivation of foodstuffs that are anticipated to sell well in foreign (western) markets or have done so in the past. The paper highlights how this development has led to the unhappy conversion of local agricultural ecologies into something that is as unnatural for them as it is fiscally beneficial for agricultural capitalists.

Abstract
This paper introduces the book, "Free to Choose: A Personal Statement", by Milton and Rose Friedman and, in particular, indicates which school of thought the authors are from and gives a short critique of the book. It looks at how "Free to Choose" is probably one of the most famous books written on economic theory, how PBS created a 10-part documentary in concert with the book, and how the book remains a textbook on economic and political thought today. It also shows how it is a fascinating look into economic theory and a must-read for anyone who would like to learn more about the free-market economy we live in today.

From the Paper
"The Friedman's are clearly of the monetary school of thought, but they advocate a "less is more" form of government, thereby utilizing money more effectively. They advocate a free-market economy, and take care to explain just why planned or controlled economies fail. The Friedman's are definitely capitalists, and do not adhere to the socialist economic theory. Ultimately, the book equates economic freedom with political freedom, and the authors go on to explain their theories that "less is more" in all forms of government, and the people should be free to choose whatever they want, despite whether it is good or bad for them, they should still have the right to choose for themselves."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the United States' government as a federal employer instituted a drug free workplace program in the 1980s under President Ronald Reagan. The program was intended to focus on the growing concern of individuals being addicted to drugs using drugs during working hours and the consequences of drug use was to include health issues. The paper explains how the federal government believed at the time that if a drug free workplace program were created for federal employees, other employers throughout the country would follow suit developing national awareness regarding the issue. The paper notes that the federal drug free workplace program has clearly defined policies regarding drugs and government employment.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses changes in free will throughout the lifespan of a human being. The writer examines what influences any changes in free will. The writer also discusses how the notion of free will is molded to fit in with the needs of society.

From the Paper
"According to Daniel Dennett, a distinguished philosopher, most philosophers abandoned the idea of a free will taking place behind and before any physical activity occurs, was abandoned long ago, in favor of a view in which agency comes with ongoing control and ongoing responsiveness to reason or other cognitive activity. This is a compatibilist view of free will which has replaced the interventionist conception. In this new view, there need be no single moment of decision, but a decision is something which the whole person makes and ... "

Abstract
The paper looks at how Austin argues that the existence of law is distinct from its merit or demerit, but notes that at the same time, Austin created an intellectual trap by relying on divine commands as the standard for human commands as well as obligation being a consideration of consequences. The paper discusses how his command theory of law is therefore based, as he argues it, on an authoritarian system of punishment which is fully justified by God. The paper then explains that Hart's main correction of Austin is to regard law as a system of social rules where obligation is rational and free. The paper shows how Hart's empirical approach to law as it functions in society clarifies and greatly expands the concept of command or obligation as Austin presented it.

Abstract
This paper explains that mandatory minimum sentencing (MMS) rests on aims of deterrence and of incapacitation so that a lawbreaker, who is likely to repeat an offense, is removed as a risk to the public. The author points out that critics of the criminal justice system indicate that, without MMS, immense discrepancies regarding punishment assigned for the same offenses by different parties would exist. The paper also relates that, under MMS, a judge, who is able to discern an irregular circumstance related to a crime, is no longer free to adjust what he or she hands down to an offender. The author concludes that, in Canada, at present, perhaps the strongest argument against MMS is the inadequacy of prison resources and community support services, which would be overloaded because MMS would involve more offenders being assigned to prisons.

From the Paper
"Gabor & Crutcher noted how the existence of minimum penalties for an array of crimes to an extent simplifies court proceedings towards reduced court costs, but that these are more than realized in the prison system where many timeservers now incarcerated for minimum sentences. Another factor to be kept in mind is the mentality of a serious offender who may not resent serving prison time as much as he or she may be more adverse to community sentences involving instructions, conditions and probation supervision."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the concept of total quality management or TQM. According to the paper, TQM offers contemporary managers a battery of techniques to increase organizational productivity and to minimize production defects. The paper further discusses how quality is a process, not a result, and leaders should accept no deviations from quality standards. Moreover, leaders should be setting higher and higher organizational benchmarks for employees to achieve, every day, even if the organization is at the forefront of its competitors.

From the Paper
"A library that alienated customers by being old, poorly lit, and dusty, could improve its customer service by creating more open, airy, and well-lit places to read. A library with a large community of children nearby could create an improved children's section, complete with toys, frequent story time sessions for young readers, and an adjacent section for waiting parents. A library with a large elderly population to serve could expand its collection of large-print books. A library need not accept that it is inevitable that the next generation should be lost to more technologically flashy bells and whistles, nor should it, in the realization of its public service mission. If librarians are complacent, they will soon be out of work!"

Abstract
This paper first explains that both the biological and biosocial theories agree that criminal acts are due to abnormal biological or genetic defects; whereas, the classical theory believes that every individual has freedom of choice thus deterrence can prevent crimes. Next, the author points out that both genetics and environment have differing effects based upon an individual's vulnerability to a deviant behavior. The paper concludes that the classical idea leads to programs of treatment or punishment centered on changing the patterns of behavior and decision-making of those who have or are expected to break the law; whereas, the biosocial and biological theories lead to more research into the genetic, biological and environmental influences that predispose certain people to become criminals.

From the Paper
"Political belief prior to this supported the idea that people served the needs of the government. The idea of a new social contract in which the government existed to serve the needs of the governed brought forth a new idea that supports "a person surrendered to the authority of the state only the amount of freedom necessary to ensure protection of the rights of other citizens." This new idea of contractual relationship of the government to its people was a product of a new, emerging middle-class, and as such was at strain with the ruling elite and those who had held power."
