Abstract
This paper discusses how South Africa is an influential country on the African continent. As a result, its relations with near-by neighbors and its friendliness with Washington will greatly impact American standing and policy goals across the wide expanse of Africa. With this in mind, the following paper explores how South African foreign policy impacts America vis-a-vis the war on terror. Specifically, the paper looks at the complications which have arisen from South Africa's recent embracing of rogue states like Libya and Cuba and the paper also examines how South Africa's interventionist behavior under the aegis of the African Union can be used to protect American interests abroad and American lives at home by combating terrorism "over there" before it comes "here".

Abstract
This paper discusses foreign policy in South Korea and how it was affected by the Korean War, noting that the foreign policy of South Korea after the war was greatly influenced by the conflict between North and South. The Korean War forged close ties between South Korea and the United States, and the threat from the North shaped the way south Korea responded to many other parts of the world, especially to any other Communist country that might be seen as providing aid to the North.

From the Paper
"South Korea and North Korea have been divided since the end of World War II. The foreign policy of South Korea after the war was greatly influenced by the conflict between North and South. The Korean War forged close ties between South Korea and the United States, and the threat from the North shaped the way south Korea responded to many other parts of the world, especially to any other Communist country that might be seen as providing aid to the North."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the differences between the North and the South before the Civil War broke out. The writer then looks at the effects of the Civil War, concentrating on the lives of those in the South. The writer discusses that the different economic systems in the two regions influenced political, social, and cultural developments in the North and South and combined to trigger the epic struggle between the Union and the Confederacy that left hundreds of thousands dead, the South devastated, and American life changed forever.

From the Paper
"In the decades before the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861 the North and South grew apart in a number of ways. Throughout the first half of the nineteenth-century, agricultural development in the South grew ever more dependent upon the forced labor of millions of plantation slaves, while the North became steadily industrialized. The different economic systems in the two regions ..."

Abstract
This paper presents a review of "Honor and Violence is the Old South", which is actually an abridged version of Bertram Wyatt-Brown's "Southern Honor: Ethics and Behavior in the Old South". The book presents an objective and highly well-researched account of life for women and slaves in the South who were considered devices with which to maintain family honor. The subject of honor is studied from a historical and anthropological perspective. The author seeks to explain why white masters treated slaves in an inhumane manner and similarly how women were expected to behave in patriarchal societies of the South.

From the Paper
"The author explains that there were two extremely important driving forces behind South's obsession with preservation of honor. For one, it was believed that since Northerners were the enemy, they must never be allowed to ridicule South's men of honor. It was essentially a defensive tactic that helped South keep its head high against a more sophisticated, civilized and successful enemy. In the antebellum period, South was mainly an agrarian society while North had become a major industrial force. It was clear that South's economy was waning with most immigrants settling in Northern region and contributing to the development of industries there. Cotton plantations were one of the main sources of income for the rich South and with decrease in its production, South was losing to North on the economic front."

Abstract
This paper examines the theoretical approach, explores its historical underpinnings, and examines the main features that characterize South America. It is evident that understanding how and why South American societies developed as they did requires investigating the influence of environment. This paper focuses on environments subsistence and related levels of sociopolitical integration from Teirra del Fuego to the Amazon Basin and the Andes because these factors have all interacted as the history of South America.

"South American Indians: An Analysis of Course Themes In discussing the theoretical approach we are taking in this course, exploring its historical underpinnings, and examining the main features that characterize it, it is evident that understanding how and why South American societies developed as they did requires investigating the influence of environment. Our class survey of the archeology and ethnography of indigenous South Americans over the past thirteen-thousand years is focusing on environments, subsistence, and related levels of sociopolitical integration from Teirra del Fuego to the Amazon Basin and the Andes because these factors have all interacted as the history of South America has unfolded."

Abstract
This paper explores South Africa's experience as a divided nation and its process of recovery in the past two decades. First, the paper considers the issue of affirmative action in South Africa. The author then acknowledges that elements of apartheid still exist. In order to overcome this divisiveness, the author examines the experiences of other divided nations, such as Germany and Korea. The author concludes that apartheid in South Africa has not ended, but has merely gone 'underground' so that it can still be active but not in the overt sense that it used to be.

From the Paper
"The promotion of a collective or a group identity, therefore, necessarily involves subordinating the individuality that is seen within the group. Furthermore, being able to strengthen one's identity based on race, religion, language, or caste is also considered divisive and threatening to the equality and the freedom of the country (Gramby-Sobukwe, 2002). Quotas are then viewed as being a means to help achieve an equality of outcome by working to deny an equality of opportunity or a fundamental right of various individuals (Gramby-Sobukwe, 2002)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the cause of the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997, and the South Korean government's reaction to monetary and financial pressures. According to this paper, the Asian financial crisis has many causes and consequences, but loans by U.S. banks to businesses in South Korea and elsewhere are an important part of the story. These loans helped create the crisis by supporting unsound investments and creating repayment obligations that Korean enterprises were unable to meet, thus undermining financial market confidence in the South Korean economy.

From the Paper
"For thirty years prior to the Asian' financial crisis South Korea enjoyed fast growth that translated into impressive economic performance, strong fiscal positioning, and macroeconomic stability (Radelet et al). Economic indicators including decreased inflation, increased saving rates, open economies, and thriving export segments made it impossible for economists to predict what was to follow. In the summer of 1996, the Asian financial crisis erupted in Thailand after the country had just experienced an influx in economic growth."

Abstract
This paper examines the issue of the display of the Confederate flag, an intermittent source of debate in the US for many years. The paper takes a particular look at one case in the late 1990s when controversy over the display of the flag on top of the South Carolina State House in Columbia led to a nationwide boycott instigated by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) against the state. The paper then makes the argument that individuals ought to be allowed to wear or display symbols containing the Confederate flag motif as a simple matter of their free speech rights, both on and off school campuses, or in any other venue.

From the Paper
"In 2006, the Southern Legal Resource Center, a nonprofit civil rights group, filed suit to permit several students at a high school in Knoxville, Tennessee to wear Confederate flag images on clothing. Racial tensions at the school nearly resulted in violent altercations at one point, resulting in a temporary lockdown. The students involved in the suit complained that black students were permitted to wear images of Malcolm X and related symbols without undergoing the same restrictions as the white students, thus raising the familiar argument of the double standard (Watson.) The Southern Legal Resource Center, which focuses on such cases, is also involved in a similar case in Texas, where several students at a high school near Dallas sued for the right to carry purses with the Confederate flag symbol on them, after they had been banned by administration officials. It seem clear that the dispute between administration policies and student rights is a heated one, and has implications beyond that of one particular symbol which some may find offensive. If students are in fact to be prepared for assuming the full rights and responsibilities of adulthood, as has often been argued, it seems reasonable to respect their rights on such a seemingly trivial matter."
