Abstract
The paper relates that in Western literature and culture, there is a tradition that ancient Greece is the source of civilization, however, Greece-and other ancient civilizations-were profoundly influenced by Egypt. This paper argues that Egypt was the most influential civilization in the ancient world for three reasons: culture, commerce, and technology. The paper discusses how Egypt's contributions in these areas were absorbed by other civilizations, including not only the Greeks but also the Phoenicians and others. The conclusion is that, while Greece certainly ought to be acknowledged as the source of much of what we deem civilization, Egypt ought to be acknowledged as the first truly world-historical civilization, and the source of much of later Greek learning and aesthetics. The paper asserts that the fact that this acknowledgement has not taken place is a testimony both to the prejudices of scholars and the absence of popular knowledge about Egypt.

Abstract
An examination of the the new era of globalization, focusing on Egypt, and its many effects on a distinctive Islamic society. The paper looks at Egypt during the 19th century, the era of colonialism, the cold war, and nowadays -- the age of U.S. dominated globalization. A major theme of the paper is the effect of the interaction of 'East' and 'West' on the development of radical Islam, as well as on the growth of feminism in Egypt.

From the Paper
"The processes of globalization can viewed as a process, in which "the world is rapidly being molded into a shared social space by economic and technological forces " (Held, McGrew, Goldblatt & Perraton) As the economies and cultures of the world become integrated into the whole of the global information age, the concept and reality of globalization becomes more complex and far-reaching. The consequences of this increased sense of interconnectedness is that events in one community will inevitably affect all societies. And due to imbalance of power, the most forceful, dynamic and potent culture is likely to dominate others, thereby inducing much resentment in many indigenous cultures. Thus many argue that globalization, in this sense, is similar to colonialism. Encapsulating this sentiment about interaction with the dominant Western culture, indigenous leaders recently held a convention in which they argued that tension is created since "people have to defend themselves against that kind of attack". (Lucas) Globalization is therefore challenging existing social identities across the planet in many important ways. Many have forgotten the positive aspects of globalization because they are more concerned about preservation of their own distinctive identity. Ever-increasing cultural interactions, it is said, "break down human-scale structures, destroy bonds of reciprocity and mutual dependence, and pressure the young to substitute their own culture and values with the artificial values of advertising and the media." Like many others, Helena Norberg-Hodge goes on to argue that much of the discontents and conflicts that exist in various parts of the world is a result of increasing exposure to foreign cultures. Both domestic and international conflicts nowadays, it is therefore argued, are to a large extent a result of this interaction of cultures."

Abstract
This essay addresses and responds to a series of questions about ancient Egypt, including Egypt's most loved and most hated Pharaohs as well as development of language and religion.

From the Paper
"The cultivable zone of Egypt apart from the fertile area of the Delta at the mouth of the Nile consists of a narrow strip of land on either side of the river. According to an essay published on the University of Glasgow website, agricultural exploitation of this narrow strip annually enriched by the floodwaters of the Nile, formed the basis of the country's prosperity. The Egyptians planned their harvesting according to the Nile calendar and..."

Abstract
The paper examines key issues associated with privatization and focuses on the specific cases of Egypt and Tunisia.

From the Paper
"The latter half of the twentieth century saw a concerted worldwide move toward free market economic principles. Colonies won their independence from their European masters and struggled to create their own political and economic identities. Post-war Europe grew into a strong economic power while post-war Japan became an economic powerhouse with multinational companies doing business around the world."

Abstract
This paper reviews the history of Egypt as well as two fundamental governmental institutions. Namely, the paper examines the legislative organ of Egyptian government - the People's Assembly - and the executive organ of the government - namely, the Office of the Presidency. As soon becomes evident, the former has a ways to go before it can overcome the current powers and privileges of the latter.

From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is twofold. Chiefly, this paper is about examining two governmental institutions in Egypt - the legislature or People's Assembly, and the executive or Egyptian presidency. But more than that, this paper is an examination of Egypt itself, because it is only by placing these institutions within their proper context that they can be fully appreciated. This paper will provide a brief overview of the nation of Egypt and proceed to a discussion of the two aforementioned governmental institutions. While Egypt's governmental institutions share certain features with other countries, those institutions are still, in their own way, uniquely Egyptian. The history of Egypt is a fascinating one. The Egyptians were a dominant power from roughly 3200 B.C. until 341 B.C. when their native land was conquered by marauding Persian forces. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the way that tomb construction developed and changed in Egypt. The paper looks at three periods - The Old Kingdom (c2780-2260 BC); Middle Kingdom (c1997 -1650 BC) and New Kingdom (1552-1069 BC) - in order to compare the methods.

From the Paper
"Because of the incredible power and authority of the king at this time, his tomb was designed to exemplify his grandeur as well as serve as the final resting-place for his body and earthly possessions. In addition, the tomb complex was also the focal point of the king's cult for ritual prayer and for worship. Unfortunately, the roles of the king's tomb proved to nullify each other; the builders tried to "hide" the king's body and possessions while at the same time allowing the public in to worship him at the same time. As a result, the whereabouts of the king's treasure were common knowledge and over time each of these tombs was stripped of everything of value, not excluding the king's corpse itself? "

The paper also covers the fall of the Ptolemaic empire and the events and characters in history that contributed to the fall.

From the Paper
"After entering Egypt with no resistance, Alexander the Great stayed in Egypt about six months. (Platt and Ashwani 1985) From there he marched east into Asia and onto the plains of Indus, (modern day India). Before departing for points east Alexander appointed a nobleman from Macedonia satrap, (governor), of Egypt. His name was Ptolemy. In 306 B.C. having been part of ongoing civil wars with the other generals from Alexander's campaigns, Ptolemy declared himself king, and later god-king, of Egypt. Thus began the Hellenistic kingdom of Ptolemaic Egypt."
