Abstract
The paper relates that children are hurt in today's global world and often little is being done to prevent the problems created by a global world. The paper looks at extreme problems of poverty, war, or trafficking as well as the common problem of social deprivation faced by children of parents who work full-time in America. The paper discusses how children in the United States must be protected from abuse in their homes. The paper states that children are the future and if they are not protected there will be no future.
From the Paper
"Should Americans be more concerned about children? How is globalization affecting children in America? How does it affect children in other countries? Should Americans be concerned about social reproduction in the lives of children? These are important questions. These topics have been discussed in class, yet does any one truly understand the problems children are having not only in other countries, but also here in America? Looking at the agenda of child concern will show that globalization is affecting social reproduction in America. Social deprivation is a problem beginning in day care and continuing until they are adults. Children who work in other countries where poverty is an issue are actually given better care than children of parents who work full-time in America. Considering what has been taught in class and research will show that as students more concern must be given to children to prevent problems in their futures."

Abstract
This paper explains that the unprecedented impact of 9/11 on the consciousness of America and the international community is a new kind of globalized fear surrounding security, which is the product of shared cultural, political and technological factors characterizing the globalized world against another distinct culture, which aims to destroy rather than build or maintain life. The author points out the interrelationship of countries by relating that Arafat's Palestinian Authority documents unmistakably showed that the PA received money from Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq, which then was given to terrorist commanders for acts of terrorism against Israelis. The paper relates that the FBI categorizes international terrorism in the U.S. into three categories: (1) Activities of foreign sponsors, such as Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Cuba and North Korea, which used terrorism as an operational tool of foreign policy in the past; (2) formalized terrorist groups, such as the Lebanese Hezbollah, Al-Gama'a Al-Islamiyya of Egypt and the HAMAS of Palestine and (3) loosely affiliated international radical extremists who do not represent a particular country, such as those behind the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 in New York City.
From the Paper
"Developments in the international scene have enabled mass-casualty terrorism. Perceived and gross inequalities in economic resources and standards of living among nations in the world have motivated international terrorism and determined the level of ferocity and viciousness of attacks. Poverty was often blamed as the main cause of domestic terrorism, although there appears no "comprehensive correlation between" poverty and terrorism. But it is different in the international scenario. Free-market globalization gave the Islamic world access to Western values and institutions and this offers explanation for the growth of international terrorism, which is the weaker party's occasion to hit back."

Abstract
This paper compares the trend of capitalism in the late 19th - early 20th century with the trend of globalization today. It explains that globalization of the world economy has the potential to bring both great benefit and great hardship to third world populations, but like capitalism, globalization without proper checks and balances could become a runaway force, knowing no moral or ethical boundaries. The potential harms and benefits are listed, showing that in moderation, all these factors need not be a threat to the third world.
From the Paper
"But globalization is not a term that is merely descriptive. Worldwide, as many people are taking an active stance against the globalization process as there are working toward it. Coalescing from a variety of sources, pro- and anti-globalization forces are beginning to take on the same impassioned polarization that dominated the debate between capitalism and communism in the early 20th century. Interestingly, each side in this debate relies heavily on examples from the Third World to make its case. The proponents of globalization cite a myriad of benefits to be gained by underdeveloped countries though greater access to the goods and services that transnational companies can provide. Anti-globalization activists, on the other hand, point to many examples in the developing world where globalization has robbed indigenous populations of traditionally held land or water rights, disrupted cultural and social values, and disturbed lifestyles.

Abstract
This paper discusses the effects of globalization on the world. The paper first provides examples of negative occurrences around the world that occurred due to globalization. It then describes the importance of viewing the social picture of globalization from a worldwide perspective in order to develop international approaches to handling the numerous problems that lie ahead.
From the Paper
"Privatization of resources has also proven to be an ineffective way to seed the roots of democracy; after all, privatizing water in Bolivia was the direct cause of their civil war. So, it would seem that increasing the involvement of African nations in the global economy is the only realistic choice that the Bush administration is likely to adopt. Still, it is not wholly apparent that this will work either. This is because the manner with which most developing nations have been incorporated into the globalized economy has been primarily through outsourcing, and--as is the case with China--there is not an obvious link between low-level employment of the working classes and democratic values in the host government. Nevertheless, it would seem that the Bush administration, and neoconservatives in general, is stuck; they are forced to take some hand in the development of democracy in African nations because they have already make it clear that nation-building is now part of the U. S. repertoire. Yet, involvement in Africa cannot be as lucrative as the neo-imperialist wars in the Middle East and that, more than anything, means that any action the Bush administration takes will be minimal."

Abstract
This paper discusses the many effects of global warming, such as agriculture, flooding, health and refugees, which will be the most severe on Third World countries. This paper explains that global warming has a negative effect on the world?s hydrological cycle, which could seriously threaten global water supplies thus severely affecting the massive areas of Asia and Africa that already have drought. The author believes that the very technologies, which the Third World needs to develop to survive and to be like the First World, are the ones that will do them the most harm.
From the Paper
"Bangladesh has the highest population density on Earth, with 114 million people in 1993. By contrast, the Netherlands, the most crowded nation in the First World, has a population density only half that of Bangladesh. Approximately 85 percent of Bangladeshis live in rural areas, and more than half of Bangladesh lies less than 5 m above sea level, making it susceptible to extreme events such as cyclones, storm surges, and coastal flooding. Global warming is expected to intensify the cyclone system in this region with catastrophic results. Inland flooding also occurs in Bangladesh because the country lies on the flood plains at the congruence of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers. Half the gross domestic product of Bangladesh is attributable to agriculture, making the nation economy prone to flood damage."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that globalization has resulted in an information age, which boasts global interconnectedness; yet, globalization has come to symbolize a threat for underdeveloped nations. The author points out that those people who believe that globalization is inevitable state that globalization, driven by the nation states, has made the world more interdependent, spreading ideas about democracy by impacting education through large-scale statewide technology implementations. The paper relates that the argument against globalization being inevitable centers on the fact that globalization has actually made many underdeveloped nations worse off by destroying jobs and making lives more insecure; this powerless, without reform, has created a backlash against nations spreading globalization.

Introduction
The Inevitability of Globalization
Globalization is not Inevitable
From the Paper
"Proponents of globalization also place a great deal of importance on the Internet, which plays a major role in globalization. The Internet has come to serve as a bridge between cultures and countries. McChesney (1998) states that the Internet is open to all at relatively low prices. As a result, even some of the poorest countries have some spread access to the Internet. This can also be seen as a benefit to more advanced nations, because the hegemony of media giants and advertisers will soon end, and be replaced by a wide-open, decentralized, diverse, fast-changing, and competitive media culture lacking the requirement of government regulation. Research indicates that the Internet and digital communication are creating a dramatic change in the media and communication systems."

Abstract
We live in a world of ever-increasing internationalization. This ubiquitous process of "globalization" has become so pervasive that the well-established concept of "nations" and "states" is now being questioned. Though it is undeniable that states still hold clear authority, evinced recently by the ongoing US/Iraq crisis and India/Pakistan nuclear tests, there is equal evidence to support the fact that states are losing ground to the process of globalization. In the world of the 1990s and beyond, though the state still operates in an environment of distinct anarchy, globalization is imposing a set of indirect controls that will keep it in line more than ever before. This paper will follow the trail to the death of the nation-state.

Abstract
Many Americans and others around the world grew up knowing and loving Walt Disney and the world that he created. From 1955, when Disney opened his first theme park in Anaheim, California, there was the thought that Disney would reach around the world, as many visitors from around the world came to visit the park in Anaheim and the duplicate park in Orlando. Disney proved it could move around the world and, therefore, opened its first international park in 1983 in Tokyo, Japan and then in Paris, France in 1992. There are many issues that Disney experienced with both of the international parks, but most notably, the one in France. This paper discusses Disney?s experience in France, the global impact of Disney?s business, as well as the evolving nature of the global economy and its effect on Disney?s operations.
From the Paper
"First, Disney is constantly looking for ways to build their business on a global level as over the past 20 years the business of Disney has grown from Anaheim to Tokyo to France and beyond. Only three years after the expansion of Disney?s park system to Tokyo, Japan, Disney looks to take on Europe. Disney felt that Europeans should be the next to fall more in love with Disney. ?When word got out that Disney wanted to build another international theme park, officials from more than 200 locations all over the world descended on Disney with pleas and cash inducements to work the Disney magic in their hometowns? (Huey, 1995). Because of the economic impact felt in Tokyo with the addition of the theme park there these officials wanted to realize the impact of a large global corporation in their respective communities and countries, however Disney was already looking toward France. Although there was a slow start due to cultural differences the park begins to show a profit and increase the global presence of Disney."

Abstract
This paper deals with both the scientific and political details of global warming. The author describes how global warming is a disturbing and controversial trend that has received increased attention in recent years and how politics often come into play when dealing with international global warming issues.
From the paper:
"Global warming has been a topic of scientific research and debate for decades. In recent years there has been a significant increase in public and political concern over the issue. Many people wonder if global warming is nearly as bad as scientists claim it is. Some question its very existence, insisting that the world is wasting its time and money researching the effects of global warming. Although many people believe that global warming is not a problem, it is an important issue because there are international complications, there is sufficient evidence of its existence, and it is a potentially dangerous situation."

Abstract
This paper discusses whether the world is truly becoming a "global village." It first defines the term "global village" and then discusses the different interpretations of this contemporary concept. Then, through reflecting on the recent advancements in modern technology, it gives consideration to how this has affected media and communication, the tourist industry, economy, international crime and trade. Finally, the paper discusses different social, political, religious and ethnic worldviews and the challenges that are presented to mankind through recent technological advances.

"That the world has experienced a technical revolution, and continues to do so, few would question. Technological progress, especially during the past thirty years, has changed both our world-view and our way of living, as time and distance has become almost a thing of the past. Technical advances, similar to those portrayed in science-fiction films or novels, have revolutionized the life styles of millions of people across the globe and seemingly shrunk our planet."
