From the Paper
"Significant barriers are created for children of autism. There are personal barriers associated with the lack of expressed emotions. This affects the relationship between the autistic child and their family, which uses communication as a method of showing affection and engender closeness. Barriers are created on a social level for several reasons. First autistic children are unable to communicate affectively with peers, which means that they suffer from severe social alienation from their peers. Another major problem is that their inability to understand and appreciate nonverbal communication means that they are not able to integrate effectively into the culture and social situations that they are placed. This causes social barriers between both peers and adults, who are not used to the lack of basic social conventions."

Trade Barriers, 2007.
An analysis of the implications of removing the barriers to free trade.
1,365 words (approx. 5.5 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses both the visible and invisible barriers that exist to free trade. It suggests that the international mood is in favor, not simply of quota and tariff reductions, but also the elimination of less obvious barriers to free trade. The paper describes these barriers and their potential benefits and then discusses the implications of removing all barriers to trade.
From the Paper
"Of course, consumers knowing the country of origin of Toyota vehicles have done little to harm the dominance of that car over traditional American manufacturers like GM and Ford. But in some instances, if a particular nation has received bad press regarding its labor practices, mandatory labeling as an imported good might act as an additional invisible trade barrier. Also, if a nation is being subject to a particularly damaging round of international publicity regarding other aspects of its international policy, this may lead to a boycott of the nation's goods, and thus invisible tariffs can be constructed through simply the apparently innocuous policy of labeling nation's country of origin, in the supposed interest of consumer information."

From the Paper
"This book offers some suggestions to people who have difficulty with interpersonal communication, both in personal relationships and at work. Can't Get Through, is concise and easy to read, although written by a Doctor of Psychology and "nationally recognized public speaker and corporate trainer, specializing in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and body-language techniques" (Hogan & Stubbs, 2003, back matter). It does not offer a great deal of new material for those individuals who have already studied some communication issues; however, it does explain familiar techniques in an simple fashion."

Tariffs and Non-Tariff Barriers (NTF), 2005.
This paper discusses the problems of tariffs and non-tariff barriers (NTF) in international trade.
1,015 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that tariffs, which are taxes on imports of commodities into a country or area, (1) supply income for the government and (2) are extensively used to defend domestic manufacturer's profits from overseas opposition; however, this defense comes at an economic cost to domestic consumers who pay higher prices for import competing goods and to the financial system as a whole. The author points out that, since 1948, when average tariffs on manufactured goods reached 30 percent in most developed economies, these economies sought to reduce tariffs on manufactured goods through numerous rounds of discussions under the General Agreement on Tariffs Trade (GATT). The paper relates that many non-tariff barriers, such as administrative refinement (arbitrary tariff classification), quantitative limitations (quotas and embargoes) and customs management (uplifting invoice value) are especially damaging to exports from developing countries especially the least developed countries.
From the Paper
"Economists and trade experts have been trying to certificate the occurrence of NTBs and are also struggling with the trickier task of shaping the particular financial consequence of a number of national or restricted requirements and regulations on limiting imports. Non-tariff barriers may comprise anti-dumping measures, new technological standards applied to imports, innovative security regulations, altered hygienic necessities, or more challenging procedures for import licensing and customs clearance. Experts say it can be tricky to differentiate among legitimate measures taken by industrialized countries to protect public health and promote consumer safety and regulations that abuse free-trade principles and unjustly limit imports."

Abstract
This paper examines the importance of effective communication methods in an organization and discusses how this causes smooth operation of the organization. It explains that effective communication is one of the cornerstones of a successful organization, and yet, perceived and unconscious barriers often impede it.
From the Paper
"Barriers to effective communication spring up just about everywhere in day-to-day life, but they can often be most apparent in the work environment. In the past, a major barrier to communication may have been the distance separating one business location from another, but in the modern world of the Internet and satellite communications, there are still many other barriers which get in the way of effective communication in the workplace. A barrier is anything that gets in the way of the purpose of the organization, or causes people to misunderstand each other. Since communication is a key to just about every aspect of every organization, it is an important and valuable tool for every person in the organization, and if used effectively, it can add to the success and value of the organization for everyone involved. As one communications expert noted, "Without communication, not even the first steps can be taken toward human cooperation, and it is impossible to speak about organizational problems without speaking about communication, or at least taking it for granted" (Simon, Smithburg & Thompson, 1950, p. 218)."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper is a literature review performed on 12 articles documenting barriers to employment experienced by those transitioning from welfare-to-work, usually women. Topics include care giving issues, healthcare, insurance, status, government administration and abuse. It also looks at waiver availability and the lack of women obtaining them (less than 5% of the cases for violence) are also documented.
From the Paper
"The welfare system in the United States is currently in disarray, which has created numerous problems for those individual who depend on this program as a means of income and sustainability in a complex society. Recent indications demonstrate challenges must be met in terms of welfare-to-work programs, which demonstrate many weaknesses that require additional resources and new strategies; welfare-to-work problems reflect problems with the work process as a whole (Coulton, 2003). While Welfare-to-Work programs are based on good intentions, this paper will provide a review of the literature focusing on the barriers that exist for welfare recipients to employment, including child care, education and illness (mental and physical), abuse and the policies themselves.

Barriers to Democracy in China, 2002.
A discussion of the political and economic barriers hindering the democratization process in China.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores Lawrence F. Kaplan's article ?Trade Barrier: Why Trade won't bring Democracy to China.? Issues affecting the democratization of China are examined including a lack of wide interest in political change, Chinese property rights and fear of persecution.
From the Paper
"It is widely believed that economic liberty follows political freedom. And the one reason why United States has not been doing anything concrete to hasten the democratization process in China is because it firmly believes in this notion. Almost every policy that United States has made so far in connection with China incorporates this vague idea and the results have been close to negligent if not downright negative. United States maintains that once China starts trading freely with the rest of the world, it will automatically be forced to bring some political changes and that would lead to democracy. But it is easier said than done. For reasons best known to U.S. policymakers, this idea is consistently being reiterated in every congressional speech including the ones delivered by President Bush."

Qualification and Experience
Task Schedule
From the Paper
"Edward Schulman (1975) is another researcher who presents a coherent speech on the increased importance of communication skills in the IS field. He emphasizes that contemporary corporations have commuted the focus from hardware to software, the latter being the major expenditure of an IT firm. This change has determined a higher preoccupation with program quality and programmer productivity, two goals which managers try to achieve by recruiting experienced professionals and training graduates. Still, neither training, nor recruiting professionals by asking quantitative questions (e.g. How many projects have you developed so far?) instead of qualitative interrogations (e.g. Were those projects successful?) haven't proved efficient enough because managers have neglected the human coordinate of the programming activity, an activity which is individual and social, at the same time.

Barriers to Emotional Development, 2004.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the process of emotional development in the young person and, in particular, on the barriers to emotional development in school-age children. The paper looks at ways in which schools can work to remove these barriers and build self-esteem among all students, especially those who may be at special risk for emotional problems because of poverty, abuse, or other social and experiential factors. In an attempt to understand the process of emotional development as it should occur in emotionally healthy children, the paper examines the theories of three psychologists whose work continues to dominate our thinking on this issue: Piaget, Kohlberg, and Erikson.
From the Paper
"Kohlberg, following in the footsteps of Piaget, argues that the process of developing a sense of morality is hierarchical and highly patterned one in which each step must be mastered before the next one can be essayed. Reimer (1990) summarizes Kohlberg?s three stages of moral development (each of which includes sub stages), arguing that all children begin life with what he terms pre-conventional reasoning or morality. At this stage, all children decide how to act based on their assessment of their own self interest, including whether or not they are likely to be punished for an action if an adult discovers them performing it."

Barriers to Love, 2004.
Review and analysis of Arundhati Roy's novel. ?The God of Small Things? .

Abstract
This paper analyzes the story and the characters of Roy's novel about castes in Indian society and explains how the book is about the norms and laws of society that stand as barriers to love.
From the Paper
"Roy refers to the social norms that control sexual behavior as the Love Laws. They indicate "who should be loved and how. And how much" (311). There are a number of ?love laws? that are broken in the story; however, Roy presents these socially unacceptable or barely tolerated instances in an existential light where they appear more as barriers than as crimes and, or, sins. Divorce, although socially frowned upon, is tolerated to a certain degree and sanctioned by social response. Sexual coercion is given greater negative response but is treated more as a ?misstep? or ?mistake? than the crime it would be in other, less patriarchal, societies. Incest is forbidden according to the moral parameters of the Indian society but is treated, by Roy, as a natural outcome of an intimacy derived from being twins. By far the ?worst? of the transgressions that occur in the book is the affair between an untouchable and a respectable woman of the trader caste."

Abstract
This paper is an examination of the current trends in education that are presenting barriers, opportunities, benefits and overall changes in the worth of education. It looks specifically at merit based pay, standardized testing, and school safety as three of the primary forces shaping American education today. It concludes that the trends in each are leading to a stifled education system that is responsive to the 'bottom line' rather than to the individual student's needs.

Women Breaking the Barriers in Literature, 2004.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how Alice Walker, following the great tradition of African-American literature, has been considered one of the women writers who fought to ?break the barrier? that divides African-Americans from other races and women from men in a dominantly white American and patriarchal society, respectively. In particular, it examines how, due to the extraordinary themes and powerful characterization of Celie, the main character in "The Color Purple", Walker has become one of America?s most prolific African-American women writers.
From the Paper
"What makes Walker successful in portraying the lives of African-American women? As reflected in The Color Purple, Walker sought to confront the primary issues and problems that African-American women (and women in general) experience during her time?that is, the issues of racial, gender, and socio-economic discrimination within African-American communities and the society. These issues include the racial discrimination against (by the dominant white American society) and among African-Americans; gender conflict between males and females, particularly in the struggle for power and dominance; repression of women through poverty; and coping with physical and emotional abuse, self-discovery, and lesbianism."
