Abstract
This paper analyzes in detail the demise of the dotcom business, Webvan. The author states that Webvan ignored the most important lesson that good business is still based on basic rules of supply and demand, customer service, employee relations, and prudent expansion. It reached too far and too fast.
From the Paper
"In the boom days of the dotcoms, even with such ambitious scope, Webvan had no trouble raising capital; at its inception, investment analysts gave it the nod with assessments that ranged from "attractive" to "strong buy" ... But no sooner did the company go public in November of 1999 and raised $375 million, but the bottom dropped out, and it showed losses of $144.6 million in its first year of existence. At that point, from a market perspective, most of us would do what the analysts did?urge "holds" and caution?to give the brand-new baby business time to find its feet."

The 100 Years War, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that the 100 Years War was most significant because it became the catalyst for the changing roles of peasants in Medieval Europe because, in the middle decades of the 14th century, the English attitude to war underwent a profound change. The author points out that the nobles and knights began to refuse to fight in a war, which held no value to them because of heavy financial losses and loss of life; therefore, the kings were forced to turn to their peasants to go to war instead of these well-paid knights and nobles. The paper reviews the story in Bernard Cornwell's "The Archer's Tale", which tells the tale of one peasant who goes to join the King Edward III of England's fight in 1343, which signaled the end of the age of chivalry and ushered in the age of standing armies comprised primarily of peasants.
From the Paper
"The events immediately leading up to the 100 Years War involve a convoluted tale of royal birthright and inter-marriages. Charles IV, who was both the King of France and Navarre, died in 1328, leaving only an infant daughter who had yet to be born. In England, Charles IV's sister, Isabella, was married to King Edward II, and had forced Edward II to abdicate the throne of England in favor of their son, Edward III. As the nephew of Charles IV, Edward III was rightfully the next heir to the throne of France."

An examination of what a direct marketing campaign is and how it is implemented in practice.

Abstract
Direct marketing involves communication by a marketer to a prospect, without an intermediary, via a medium that supports some degree of interaction. This paper explains how this concept has largely merged with the idea of database marketing, which involves the establishment and maintenance of quantities of data about prospects and customers, and is exploited in order to enhance the probability of making a sale to each of them. It explains how direct marketing is intrusive, both in relation to the privacy of personal behaviour and the privacy of personal data. The degree of sensitivity varies greatly, depending on the person, the data, and the context.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Marketing communications are indirect, where marketer-prospect interactions are inhibited. This may be because the communication channel is one-way, as in the use of broadcasting media such as television, radio, newspapers and billboards. Alternatively, it may be because of the interposition of an intermediary of some kind that does not have a principal-agent relationship with the marketer, e.g. a shop assistant in a retail department store."

From the paper:
"From the first democratic election, politicians, journalists, and the public have decried the high cost of campaigns. It cannot be disputed that political campaigns rely on money from filing until the election and well beyond. From the beginning of the democratic election process, politicians, journalists, and the public have individually and collectively viewed with horror the ever-increasing cost of campaigns. Each election cycle sets a new record for spending. The critics cite the cost of presenting a candidate or issue but fail to take into consideration the increasing number of voters, distribution of constituencies, competition to spend, cost of new technologies, and inflationary pressures."

Abstract
This paper examines the promotional campaign of Watershed Awareness, whose goal is to bring water quality issues to the public's forefront. The writer of this paper defines a promotional campaign as the combination of various advertising, public relations, sales promotion and personal selling activities used by the marketer over a period of time to achieve predetermined goals. This paper explains why a promotional campaign is much more than just the advertisement seen on TV. The larger the campaign is, the more budget it needs and more people are employed to derive the outcomes for which the campaign was initially set up for. This paper details the various steps involved in creating a successful promotional campaign. In the case of Watershed Awareness, the first step is the necessity to clarify the specific purpose for the campaign. The next phase is effective communication which results in serving the functions of reaching the target audience, penetrating the audience's attention through the combination of timeliness, relevance and simplicity.
The third step in carrying out a promotional campaign is developing its theme, perhaps creating a noticeable insignia or logo. This paper also focuses on the importance of the internet in creating a successful campaign.
From the Paper
"The proposition is only the beginning, then the effective communication must be used serving the functions of reaching the target audience, penetrating the audience's attention through the combination of timeliness, relevance and simplicity, communicating the intended message and bonding the message to the brand name. Unfortunately, practice shows that the price of the advertisement does not guarantee its' quality. In order to do this, a promotion plan should include a well-articulated distribution plan which will drastically increase the exposure of promotion item. The mass media source choice to transfer the idea to the target group should be based on the preferences of the target group."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the campaign finance laws of Montana and Florida, in an attempt to understand the primary differences between the legislative measures of the two states. Additionally, the paper discusses which campaign finance laws appear to be the fairest and most successful laws, in terms of their ability to control and regulate campaign finance issues.
From the Paper
"In comparison to Montana, however, Florida only allows all others in the community a $500 contribution. Children under the age of 18 are not allowed to exceed a $100 contribution, and no candidate can accept contributions from national, state, or county political party executive committee whose aggregate exceeds $50,000. There are still other limitations, such as limits on contributions from investment and law firms, and businesses (FL, 3).
"Furthermore, Florida limits the contributions from certain institutions of higher learning. According to the law, any educational institution wishing to contribute must first obtain a majority vote from the governing board of the institution. Without such a majority vote, the educational institution cannot contribute, either through monetary or through any indirect support (FL, 3)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the ongoing debate over campaign finance reform, explaining the major issues associated with the reform and some of the reasons for the disagreement about how campaign finance should be implemented. In particular, the paper focuses on the McCain-Feingold bill, detailing what it would change about campaign finance and why there is still opposition to the bill even though it is bipartisan.
From the Paper
"Campaign finance reform has been debated since Richard Nixon ran for the Vice Presidency under Eisenhower. In the wake of the Watergate fiasco, some meaningful reforms were made. However, there have been no major changes to campaign finance laws since that time. The time is ripe for change, but what kind of changes do we want? Do we want changes that make a joke of our constitution or do we want changes within the boundaries of the constitution? The major issue is soft money "was originally intended to go to party-building activities and get-out-the-vote drives but which increasingly has been used as a way to funnel large contributions to presidential and other candidates." (Hamburger, Tom "Campaign-finance debate jumps to center stage // There is widespread agreement that federal election rules need repairing. But there is no consensus on how, and there is lots of opposition to the lead." Minneapolis Star Tribune, 09-28-1997, pp 21A). However, the McCain-Feingold bill, the one most advocates support, would also limit advertising. The problem with that is any changes that try and skirt around the constitution, by limiting free speech, will most likely be thrown out by the Supreme Court. Until recently most congressmen did not look at finance reform seriously."

The governments of the United States - whether Washington, Sacramento at the state or, local city hall - must be accountable to the people as a whole."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the election campaign of Democrat Julia Carson with her main opponent, Republican Brose McVey, and the election campaign of Republican Diaz-Balart with that of his main opponent, Democrat Annie Betancourt. The paper compares a variety of aspects of the campaigns, including campaign financing, platform and support, candidate profiles, media coverage, scandal, redistricting, and election results.
From the Paper
"McVey ran on a platform of economic growth and job creation, stating that Indiana has been sliding compared to the rest of the nation. McVey claimed that "there are many federal issues, such as funding for transportation and airport projects to changes in the tax code, which can have an impact on Indiana's economy. 'She's been in office six years... I haven't heard one word about what Carson is doing and advocating for.? McVey also cited Carson?s votes against President Bush?s tax cut package and against ?fast-track? trade authority. McVey?s views on political issues were much more conservative than Carson?s. He supported an amendment that would make flag burning illegal. opposed partial-birth abortion, and supported the right to bear arms. McVey also supported Bush?s policies on Iraq and taxes."

Saving the Rainforest, 2003.

Abstract
This paper spells out the extreme importance of making every effort to save the world's rainforests. Many people do not realize the importance of plants and trees to the human and animal populations. Oxygen, our most important resource, comes from the rainforests. Also, the rainforests have provided many cures for diseases and are home to many exotic and beautiful animals. The paper argues that the depletion of the rainforests will eventually result in the demise of the world.
From the Paper
"Global warming is causing a greenhouse effect on the earth. Since the 1930s the average temperature has risen at least ten degrees and even more in some places (Hartmann 53). Cutting down trees in the rainforest is making carbon dioxide in the atmosphere more abundant, because trees take in carbon dioxide. In The Last Hours of Sunlight: Waking Up to Personal and Global Transformation, Thom Hartmann address the problems of the greenhouse effect. ?It is exactly what it says; the world is becoming a greenhouse. We are holding in carbon dioxide because there are fewer trees to absorb what humans produce? (9). ?The way that humans are jumping on the opportunity the cut down tress it is like humans are trying to commit suicide by asphyxiation? (Bjorn 82). Oxygen is our most important resource and humans are not thinking of the consequences of their actions."

Campaign Finance Reform, 2002.
A discussion of the pros and cons of campaign finance reform.
1,616 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper proposes a for and against argument on the issue of campaign finance reform. It examines how campaign finance reform has been raised as an important political issue for some time and there have been several recent proposals to deal with such reform. It looks at how these proposals deal with concerns about the growing amount of money needed for political campaigns and about how that money is acquired by candidates. It analyzes the McCain-Feingold Bill which addresses this issue and has been much debated for the constitutional issues involved. It evaluates how one side of the argument cites reasons why money is too prevalent in politics today and why the way campaigns are funded should be changed. It then cites the other side--that campaign funding is a matter of free speech and should not be changed in any way.
From the Paper
"For many people today, people who can be heard on talk shows across the nation, people who speak on television and campaign for change, people who refuse to vote or have anything to do with the political process--for these people and others, political corruption is such a fact of life that they cannot separate the idea of government and government officials from corrupt practices. One reason for this perception is the knowledge that politics is expensive and that running for office requires vast amounts of money, and people want to know what those giving large campaign contributions want for their money. Public funding is an alternative to the current system, and it would be enhanced further by caps on campaign spending. The scandal today, as numerous commentators have pointed out, is not what is illegal but what is legal, with distinctions made between "hard" money and "soft" money that serve the needs of the political parties and yet do not answer the concerns of the public."
