Abstract This paper explains that, even though people often think of Emily Dickinson in such terms as reclusive, despondent and unrequited love; parody, sarcasm and humor are very evident in Dickinson's works. The author points out that Dickinson often uses devices such as irony and satire for comic relief as well as for getting quickly across a point in her short, but significant pieces. The paper relates that Dickinson's topics run the gambit from politics and religion to making fun of the day-to-day inconsequential problems of life as seen in her poem "I'm Nobody, Who Are You?".
From the Paper ""I'm Nobody" clearly demonstrates Dickinson's satire. It has been said that this poem is most likely about her inability to achieve recognition as a poet. However, especially because she kept to herself--actually enjoyed isolation--she probably would have been unhappy if fame had come her way. How horrible it would be, she relates, if you are famous and have to continually be ogled and followed by admirers. This is a problem, in fact, that most celebrities and other known individuals such as politicians have today. They cannot do anything without the press knowing it."
Abstract This paper examines the issue of the Golan Heights and traces the path that the two countries followed to arrive at their current position of negotiation, stalled as they are. In the process of this examination, the paper identifies what circumstances are needed to change in order for fruitful negotiations to take place. The paper explains that by examining what paths have been followed that lead to the failure to work out an agreement for the Golan Heights is remarkably revealing, both in demonstrating a pattern of behavior between the two nations and in assessing the viability of a negotiation that provides both nations with a comprise upon which they could agree. The paper includes tables and a map.

From the Paper "Syria demands the return of land that it claims belongs to the country. In the eyes of the Syrian people, the land is Arab land at the very least and Syria has the most reasonable claim to it since it possessed the land prior to the Israeli occupation. Unable to reclaim the land due to a feeble military and fractured economy, Syria has taken more sinister steps to pressure the Israelis into negotiating. Primarily the Syrians have launched terrorist attacks through the use of Hezzbolah which have killed and injured thousands of Israelis. Through the actions taken by the terrorists, the Golan Heights have been brought to the negotiating table where Syria can have its demands heard."

Abstract This paper explains that the reaction of protesters and the enclave mentality of those sponsoring globalization show clearly that this process is not democratic but rather is a gambit for control of the world's resources by the corporate sector. The author points out that power has passed into hands of unaccountable multinational corporations like General Motors, Coca-Cola and McDonald's; and, even where political parties are allowed to compete, they tend to offer identical policies. The paper concludes that the threat to democracy is hard to miss because almost all the checks and balances, such as trade unions versus business interests, which help to reign in the excesses of one group as opposed to another, are being dismantled.
From the Paper "The most obvious effect of this process has been to undermine the traditional role of nation-state. All governments now have to gear their economic policies to global developments which they cannot hope to control. Increasingly, they make decisions which are intended to boost the competitive position to their countries in relation to global competitors, e.g.. In Britain, recent governments have recognized that they cannot complete with relatively low cost economies like China, and argue that future prosperity will depend on a highly skilled, well- motivated workforce. Another effect of the changes associated with globalization is a tendency to see the countries of the world as increasingly interdependent. "
