Abstract
The purpose of education is to prepare an individual to be a productive member of their society. Therefore, this paper draws conclusions as to the best educational system, with specific regard to secondary education, for a given social structure. The paper analyzes the policies of Communist China and Capitalist United States. Though the paper focuses on all types of education, it has a more detailed description of policies/standards in secondary education. Also, some attention is given to describing the governmental structure of these nations, as the thesis suggests that different governments require different educational strategies.
From the Paper
"When exploring the educational institutions of China and the United States, it is most logical to first examine the model that each nation claims to support and how its social and political institutions affect its educational standards. The academic model, or the ?Western model,? as explained by Theodore Chen is, embraced by the U.S. and is designed solely for the promotion of academic learning. The academic model emphasizes the school as the central place of learning. The United States, in following with this model, puts high priority on the building of schools and universities. While the U.S. education system does promote some learning outside of the classroom, all learning is designed in some way to return to the school system for evaluation. Emphasis is placed on the classroom, laboratory, and library as places of learning."

Abstract
This paper provides an evaluation of future international trading prospects between China, the United States and other countries through the event of the visit made by Chinese president Jiang Zemin?s to the U.S. in October, 2002. The development of political relations and foreign trade between China and the U.S. in the past few decades is analysed through a review of the developments in trading for both China and the U.S., the improvement of political and foreign trade relations between the two countries, the U.S. investment in China, China?s entry into the World Trade Organisation and the recent improvement of political relations between the two countries. A recommendation for further improvement of the relationship between the two nations is also given.
From the Paper
"Except for the period of rapid growth of Sino-Soviet trade in the 1950s, China, in the Maoist era, pursued relatively autarkic trade and financial policies. During the 1960s, when the trade of both developing and industrialised economies was growing rapidly, China?s trade was actually shrinking in real terms. Initially, that was a response to the severing of the Sino-Soviet economic relationship and the collapse of the domestic economy as a result of the economically ill-fated strategy of the Great Leap Forward. But later, as domestic growth resumed, it reflected the autarky of the Cultural Revolution, when all but one of China?s ambassadors were recalled from their posts and China turned inwards."

Abstract
This paper examines 20th century developments pertaining to the United States and China. The paper discusses how the philosophical position of each nation acts as a guiding principle when domestic agendas are decided upon and how these in turn reflect on international relations.
From the Paper
"The United States and China have long eyed one another from across an ideological chasm that has at times appeared unbridgeable. Throughout the 20th century, domestic trends within each nation have diverged such that little common ground appeared to exist between them. Indeed for much of the 20th century, Chinese isolationism reinforced a communist agenda that did not recognize key properties intrinsic to Western society, among them religious freedom, capitalist business practices and a generally individualistic disposition."

Abstract
This study shows the differences between ethics, culture, family history, and other factors that influence successful managers and profitable business managers. It includes a comparison of Chinese and American management, which looks at techniques at home and abroad, how managers are chosen for their positions, how they rise within the organization and what identifiable differences there are between management in private enterprise and state run organizations.
From the Paper
"We should also look at information we may be able to acquire concerning companies involved in joint ventures. This information can usually be found on the we sites of the US partner and in their in house literature which is distributed to share-holders, prospective investors and to trade publications for public relations. Certain targets emerge for study in this area: companies involved in finance, oil production, manufactured goods and other business areas where the low cost of Chinese labor or the high efficiency of US firms has been deemed beneficial to one of the two countries. A company which fits into this category would be National Oilwell, which has joint ventures with several Chinese companies and takes advantage of the low cost of labor while providing the competence of highly trained and experienced engineers, plus well machined parts which cannot currently be obtained in China."

The United States and China: Struggle for Arab Oil, 2009.

Abstract
This paper aims to identify some of the implications of China's determination to fuel its rapidly growing economy by entering into economic arrangements with Middle-Eastern States. The writer reviews Dan Blumenthal's article "China and the Middle East: Providing Arms," Jin Liangxiang's article "China and the Middle East: Energy First," Henry Lee and Dan A. Shalmon's article, "Searching for Oil China's Initiatives in the Middle East," and "Managing China-U.S. Energy Competition in the Middle East," by Brookings Institute Fellows Flynt Leverett and Jeffrey Bader, in order to showcase some of China's past oil investments and find out whether, in the first place, future tensions over oil due to China's initiatives are likely to arise, and, secondly, whether China's policies will inevitably conflict with Western interests. The writer examines the proposed questions and concludes that an affirmative answer to both can be found in all four articles, although different reasons are given in each article for a positive answer to the second question.
Outline:
A Review of the Articles
Do China's Initiatives Foreshadow a Future Full of Tensions Over Access to Oil?
Are China's Policies Inevitably in Conflict with Long-term Western Interests?
Criticisms
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Henry Lee and Dan A. Shalmon's article, Searching for Oil China's Initiatives in the Middle East discusses the geopolitical realities of China's efforts to enhance energy security. According to the authors, China's oil consumption nearly doubled in the last five years with nearly half of their supply coming from imported oil. Additionally, nearly half of its imports come from the Middle East. They argue that oil imports will double in the next decade. They discuss China's gradual shift from state controlled oil companies to those more profit oriented. This was a very good examination of the oil problem, as they went into depth about the great Chinese need for oil."

Abstract
In this paper the writer reviews the book by John Fairbank, "The United States and China". The author of the paper describes the book and outlines the main subjects covered. He then goes on to discuss elements in the book relating specifically to China - family, religion, politics and history. He comes to the conclusion that whilst the book was written some time ago, it is still relevant today for the student of American-Chinese relations.
From the Paper
"A major theme in the book and in China is the family. And unlike families in the West (including Europe) the Chinese family unit is, Fairbank writes on page 21, a "microcosm, the state in miniature." This explains a lot about China, since the family - not the individual - has been for centuries the "responsible element in the political life..." of China. The family's function is to institute obedience (which the state wants from its people of course), to institute loyalty (again, mirrored by the state's demand for loyalty), and to raise "filial sons" who will become loyal to authority in the family setting. Women were always inferior, and are inferior today in China. On page 23 the author points out that philosophically, ancient China had the Yin (all things "female, dark, weak, and passive..") and the Yang (all things "male, bright, strong, and active.."). Girls have been (and still are to a great degree) subordinated to boys from the time they are infants (p. 23)."

China's Economic Relationship with the United States, 2005.
A discussion of the effect of China on the American economy.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper assesses the theory that one reason that the United States has for performing so poorly in the economic sphere in recent years is the growing strength of the economy of China. The growth of the Chinese economy has resulted in employment being taken from Americans as many companies have chosen instead to outsource their factories in China. The paper also discusses the political arena and argues that China is also gaining popularity while the U.S. is loosing respect on a world-wide scale.
From the Paper
"China's recent gains in industrial growth have changed the ways in which the rest of the world now perceives the country, especially concerning the other major world powers. As this trend continues, China could change current power relationships and current existing financial situations, especially in regards to the United States. If one country takes a strong hold on the economy, the entire ratio begins to shift. Currently, as China has taken such a stronghold through their economic and industrial growth, this has taken an affect on the United States. With China's new position in the Twenty-First century, the U.S. has been negatively affected in relation to their previous economic position, as China obtains manufacturing companies who once did business within the United States, begins to require and utilize more natural resources and fossil fuels..."

United States Hegemony, 2005.
This paper discusses the basis of power belonging to the United States and explains the United States hegemony within the global system.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this paper, America holds hegemony through military, economic, cultural, and political positions. The threat to American power seems low due to the massive military aggression that America has taken against the Middle East in recent times. The writer discusses that the overwhelming sense of military might, along with political and economic justification on the part of the U.S. appears to be the ongoing trend on the international scene. The writer notes that this power lessens the strength of the E.U., Russia, and China as America culturally dominates the world through the power that it wields.
From the Paper
"This study seeks to understand the basis of power that has become United States hegemony within the global system. The basis of economic, military, political and cultural power is accessed to comprehend U.S. domination within an international scope. In defining these pillars of strength, one can realize that the United States is not likely to face any serious challenges to its hegemony in the coming decade. The United States military presence is a major cornerstone of hegemony that is now being imposed throughout the world."

The United States and Korea, 1953, 2008.
A discussion of the significance of the end of the Korean War for the United States.

Abstract
This paper examines the events that led up to the end of the Korean War in 1953 and the impact it had on the United States. The paper states that one remarkable aspect of the ending of this war was the modest impact it had on America. It claims that this stemmed partly from the fact that Korea had not been a site of significant American interest before this war began, the war had bogged down into seemingly interminable negotiations, and the political situation was focused on other matters. The paper concludes that, when the armistice agreement was signed, there were no wild celebrations, perhaps because the country had finally ended a war it was truly tired of.
Outline:
Lack of a Historical Relationship/Lack of a Historical Korea
The Fall of China, the Rise of McCarthyism, and the Democratic Retreat
The Korean War: From the First Campaigns to the Fall of MacArthur
Armistice and Exhaustion
From the Paper
"At the end of World War Two, Korea remain of middling importance to the United States. American Secretary of State Dean Acheson did not define Korea as part of the American sphere of influence in the world, suggesting that the United States would not intervene militarily if North Korea attempted to take over South Korea,17 although apparently few in the American administration took this as a serious prospect. Thus, it was something of a shock when the United States intervened when the war broke out."

Chinese Immigration to the United States, 2005.
A look at the immigration and labor patterns of Chinese immigrants to the United States.

Abstract
This paper examines the Chinese immigrant population in the United States from a province and county of China, Fu Zhou (Fu Jian), a region where the people have traditionally been very different from mainstream Chinese culture. The paper explores the issues faced by these immigrants from Fu Zhou and the challenges that they face in the future. The paper also includes the personal perspective of the author, an Asian-American, in terms of his own views of the problems of immigration and the problems of negative community attribution that many immigrants from Fu Zhou undergo, since they are often looked down upon by mainstream Chinese (Cantonese) immigrants as being uncivilized and overly eager to do anything for money. Finally, the paper addresses the unequal treatment suffered by many immigrant communities in America, as well the conspicuous consumption favored by the Chinese back home in Fu Jian who 'live large' while their American family members work impossibly long hours to bring them the fruits of their labor.
From the Paper
"In New York especially, the majority of Chinese immigrants who hold viable commercial and tourist space in Chinatown are Cantonese. This means that they are from the south of China, mostly from the Guangzhou province or from Hong Kong (Xiang Gang). They are an established immigrant community with labor relations boards and
viable opportunities for the community?s grievances to be addressed. Many Americans think of China as being more unified than it really is in terms of groups within the mainland. There are many Chinese who speak different languages within China, and even though Mandarin is supposed to be the official (government) language, there are often language barriers between different people. Mandarin is different from Cantonese, but many Cantonese Chinese can also speak Mandarin, since the newspapers and television programs in China are often in this language."

The United States and Globalization, 2007.

Abstract
The paper relates that because globalization affects everyone, Clyde Prestowitz' book, "Three Billion New Capitalists: The Great Shift of Wealth and Power to the East", becomes relevant for all modern readers. The paper examines the heart of Prestowitz's focus; the United States and its economic policies. The paper shows how the economic policies guiding emerging economic superpowers like China are more forward-thinking than the outmoded ones that prevail in the United States. The paper discusses Prestowitz's ideas that a revision of American economic philosophy, spending more on education, health care and sound infrastructure, is vital in order to "ride the third wave" of globalization.
From the Paper
"Clyde Prestowitz could have easily titled his 2006 book Three Billion New Capitalists Can't Be Wrong. The author does not judge the ethics of globalization itself, for Prestowitz is a realist who understands that globalization began in the 15th century and has only recently entered what the author calls a "third wave." Three billion new capitalists can't be wrong because the economic policies guiding emerging economic superpowers like China are more forward-thinking than the outmoded ones that prevail in the United States. Part history lesson, part appeal for changes to American foreign and domestic economic policy, Three Billion New Capitalists: The Great Shift of Wealth And Power to the East is a must-read for anyone remotely interested in the implications of globalization. Because globalization is affecting every citizen of the world, Prestowitz' book becomes relevant for all modern readers and could even become required material in public schools."

Abstract
This paper details several security reasons for Russia?s continuing significance in U.S. foreign policy. The first section deals with Russia?s disintegration, listing many of the reasons it has been recently ignored. The rest of the paper presents several theories backed by credible players in international affairs concerning the need for Russia to once again emerge as a pillar of world security.
Russian Societal Failings (Reasons it is ignored)
Reasons for Importance
Inability to Secure Nuclear Resources
Connection to Rogue States
Geographic Position - rightful influence in Asian affairs ?
balance China?s growing power
From the Paper
"Seven years after the collapse of the USSR, Russia, whose GDP has contracted 5% a year and already an estimated 43% lower than its height in 1991, is still struggling to establish a modern market economy and achieve strong economic growth (Encarta Multimedia Encyclopedia 1). By the end of 1997, Russia had achieved some progress, and the government could proudly boast of bringing inflation under control, stabilizing the ruble, and transferring thousands of enterprises into private hands. Some important market-oriented laws were also passed, including a commercial code governing business relations and an arbitration court for resolving economic disputes. But in 1998, the Asian financial crisis swept through the country, which contributed to a sharp decline in Russia's earnings from oil exports and resulting in an exodus of foreign investors, and soon leading to the nadir of the Russian economy in August with the ruble?s precipitous fall and the government?s inability to pay $40 billion in ruble bonds. Two years later, at the beginning the new millennium, the world awash in prosperity, Russia?s problems remain daunting, from an undeveloped legal and financial system to poor progress on restructuring the military-industrial complex (the newest military hardware dates from the 1950?s) to persistently large budget deficits to widespread corruption. The severity of Russia's economic problems is dramatized by the large annual decline in population, estimated by some observers at 800,000 people, caused by environmental hazards, the decline in health care, and the unwillingness of people to have children (CIA Fact File 3)."

Abstract
This paper explains that the close ties between the United States and Great Britain are deeply rooted in common language as well as a long-running and deeply connected historical base of strongly tied economic as well as militaristic cooperation that has spanned since the era of World War II. The author points out that the United Kingdom is the United States' largest customer and the United States is the country that invests the largest amount, each year, in the United Kingdom. The paper relates that the commonly held values of democracy and the inherently held beliefs in the freedom of speech, human rights and a similar legal system are the ties that bind the two countries inevitably together.

From the Paper
"The United States was once under British rule and in fact the American Revolution was fought for the purpose of removing the U.S. Colonies from the rule of the British. The American Revolution was fought and independence was won establishing America as an independent and separate nation from Great Britain but only after a grueling war. Great Britain was determined to keep the Colonies under British rule and after an attack on Charleston and lives having been lost the colonists stated their intentions in a document entitled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessities to Take up Arms" and the action to break away from what most considered to be their mother country began. It has been stated in history that most of the colonists identified with the British and that many of the colonists considered themselves to be Britons."
