Abstract
This paper discusses the cultural, political, and social divisiveness that have resulted from a paucity of central governmental services in some of the new nations in Eastern Europe and provides an analysis of the causes for the violent confrontations that have taken place in the recent past.

From the Paper
"The breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 resulted in a number of newly independent nations, whose borders were frequently based on old geopolitical lines without regard for the ethnically based demographics involved. Without a central government in place in many of these regions of Eastern Europe, basic public services have failed, economies have faltered or collapsed and wars have broken out between ethnic factions within these countries."

Abstract
The breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 resulted in a number of newly independent nations, whose borders were frequently based on old geopolitical lines without regard for the ethnically based demographics involved. Without a central government in place in many of these regions of Eastern Europe, basic public services have failed, economies have faltered or collapsed and wars have broken out between ethnic factions within these countries. This paper discusses the cultural, political and social divisiveness which has resulted from a paucity of central governmental services in some of these new nations in Eastern Europe, and provides an analysis of the causes for the violent confrontations which have taken place in the recent past.

From the Paper
"The ethnic populations which constitute a nation are up in arms against the weak states. These ethnic populations of Eastern Europe (and elsewhere in the world as well) have mobilized for war. Passions run high in light of the long-term nature of many of the ethnic disputes, and the belligerents are not now going to settle for anything short of their perceived ethnic and historical legacy of land and liberty. The problem in Eastern Europe is, however, that almost all of the people share this common legacy and who is to say whose claim is stronger. The next few years will prove to be bloody ones for the nations of Europe in search of a state unless the international community can provide better and more creative alternatives. "

Abstract
The British government has been intimately and disastrously involved in Ireland for centuries. This paper examines the divisions between Roman Catholics and Protestants that culminated in the division of the island into two separate political entities. It commences with the Act of Union (1801) that united Ireland and Great Britain and concludes with partition, political formalization of the cleavages, in the twentieth century.

Abstract
The basis of Smith's theories about the division of labor in human production rests in his repeated reference to "the natural" effects of production. Marx, on the other hand, understands production as a structure that is premised on social inequalities amongst humans. Where Smith regards "self-interest" as the natural force behind increasing a nation's wealth, Marx regards differences in social class as the source of exploitation in labor. Smith idealizes the division of labor, and Marx & Engels both regard exploitation of social inequality as the basis for divisions in labor.

Abstract
In this paper, the author argues against claims that Division I athletics has a negative impact on education. First, the paper cites the damage caused by having athletic teams associated with a university, especially in light of education. The paper shows, however, that these claims are insignificant compared to the advantages of having a university sports team that unifies a diverse student body. The paper continues by considering the academic issues of student athletes, including cheating, failing grades and not challenging themselves educationally. These issues, according to the paper, are rare and often dealt with responsibly. The paper concludes by stating that problems with student athletes do exist, but are often over exaggerated and that Division I athletic programs are mostly compatible with the higher education goals at colleges and universities.

From the Paper
"Many critics often claim Div I athletics to be incompatible with education for a multitude of insignificant, yet overly exaggerated reasons. To start off, many Div I colleges recruit athletes and don't care if they're passionate or strong academically. (Eitzen) According to the critics, this creates a problem not for the student-athlete, but for the student body because these athletes will be a negative influence. Also, critics such as D. Stanley Eitzen claim they end up taking the place of another student, one who'll probably contribute to the intellectual life of the college. Well, first of all, most student-athletes often are isolated from the student body (Eitzen), so it's unlikely they'll be ruining intellectualism. Also, usually, each Div I school class has only around 80-100 recruited athletes per year which is quite insignificant when compared to 2000+ students they usually admit. And it's also doubtful that all of those athletes are truly that intellectually incompetent either, particularly at Div I schools such as Duke and Stanford..."

Analysis
Recommendations and Solutions

From the Paper
"Stephen P Robbins and Tim A Judge (2008) state that the field of organizational behavior is applicable at three levels: the individual, the group and third, the organization. In terms of the individual, an OB analysis will focus on attitudes and on-the-job satisfaction, personal values and characteristics, emotions, decision making perceptions or motivational forces. Secondly, in terms of the group, the organizational behavior concept refers to features such as leadership, communication, team work, power and politics or conflict management and negotiation. Finally, in terms of the overall organization, the OB issues revolve around the organizational structure and culture, as well as the implemented policies and practices relative to the human resource."

Abstract
This paper examines the importance of the study of gender. The paper first describes the divisions of gender, such as biological differences or societal divisions and then focuses on the importance of understanding the continuum of gender in order to increase equality and freedom for both men and women. The paper provides examples of the divisions of gender from the book, "A Thousand Splendid Suns," by Khaled Hosseini.

From the Paper
"In increasingly sexualized portrayals of both men and women in the media, women are portrayed as powerful through their sexual power. With their appearance, media would have consumers believe, women are able to control men. It is often heard in movies and television programs that a woman uses sexual intercourse as a source of her power: if the man does not do what she wants, he will not be rewarded in the bedroom. If this message were true, then women would dominate the world. As untrue as it is, this message helps perpetuate one of many stereotypes for women: that they are scheming and calculating, using sex to manipulate their partners (or potential partners)."

Abstract
This paper explains what the concept of the division of labor means in terms of its theoretical and practical applications in an industrialized, capitalist society. The paper further explains that such a division of labor makes it impossible to separate an industry fully along the lines of internal divisions of labor, mechanistic and human, from the society which surrounds it.

From the Paper
"It is often the case that a generalized term is often known both by its theoretical and its practical applications, but it sometimes happens that such a term is also known to cover different practical effects when dealing with two different sets of circumstances. When talking about labor and capital, especially the industrialized, mechanistic labor inherent to capitalism, differentiations of application are often made along the lines of human beings and machines, or human beings and the mechanistic work that they are taking part in. The division of labor is mainly thought of by scholars and thinkers as being the whole of two distinct sums: that of the actual mechanized process of separating
and dissociating work as individual parts that lead to a complete whole and that of the effect on the human beings taking part in the dissociated work, in which each person plays an integral, if incomplete, role in the manufacture of a product. "...In one form or another the division of labor has remained the fundamental principle of industrial organization" (Braverman 69). It is a very significant concept concerning both a process and the effects of the process on the workers involved."

Abstract
This paper discusses how in his book "The Division of Labor in Society", Emile Durkheim sees society as evolving, as developing over time and how he considers the specific element of solidarity as it was manifested at each stage of development. Division of labor is another specific dimension by which we explain the existence of the kinds and types of social organization in a given society. It shows how Durkheim in his book, explains both the nature of society as well as the meaning of, development of and place of individuality within that structure. It examines how Durkheim's vision of the division of labor is of a naturally occurring reality that becomes a force for social cohesion and solidarity, binding individuals in society more closely together and may imperil individuality as a result.

From the Paper
"In discussing the bond of social solidarity, Durkheim indicates that there are two ideal types of solidarity, one mechanical and the other organic. The bond of solidarity is that which defines a society and its rules and regulations, rules which can be transgressed by the criminal precisely because that solidarity exists and stands as that against which crime is directed and defined. Crime is defined by Durkheim as an "act contrary to strong, well-defined states of common consciousness" (Durkheim 60). He then indicates that it is possible to see what kind of solidarity the penal law symbolizes, and he says that it is clear that social cohesion exists when there is a certain conformity of each individual consciousness to a common type, the psychological type of society.

Abstract
After providing an overview of the process of cell growth and division, this paper examines cell division in the organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Recent research on this organism is reviewed to examine some of the conclusions about the interactions between cell growth and division and the presence of various single and double mutant forms. Such a careful study of cell growth and reproduction in unicellular organisms such as S. cerevisiae has implications for human oncological research.
