Laos is a poverty stricken area of Asia and in dire needs of intervention to help make it efficient in providing enough food for everyone while maintaining a healthy environment. Laos faces environmental disaster if no one intervenes. This paper looks at how there are cost efficient ways to produce more water for crops and how the use of organic pesticides will also help to protect the crop. It discusses how protecting Laos's biodiversity is important to the environment and species that are on the endangered list.
From the Paper
"To lesson the environmental impact of slash-and-burn farming, Laos needs to choose a better and safer form of farming. "(...) Tiny dams high in the hills that catch rain or spring water, which then runs down flumes and ditches into rice paddies. The Australian project also helps to repair the village social groups that keep these irrigation systems in working order." (Bryant, 1991) This lessons the waist of water. Water quality is important to the people and the way it is used but do not know natural ways to control and treat run off from higher levels. The lower you live downhill, the less water you may receive during the dry season. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the role that the Canadian International Development Agency plays in the development of under-developed countries. CIDA's involvement includes measures to reduce poverty, decrease infant mortality rates, and increase political and economic development. CIDA signed an agreement with other donor nations that emphasizes international involvement in the pursuit of global equality, access to health and education, and improving basic living standards.
From the Paper
" Although the triumph of democracy post cold war helped trigger the global economic boom, developing democracies have benefited least from trade and investment. It is crucial for the international donor community to address potential problems of new policies for promoting democratization of developing countries, otherwise risk losing financial and strategic investments between donors and under-developed countries. The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) values social justice, peace and humanitarianism."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Martin Luther King of the modern United States and Lao-Tzu of ancient China were two great philosophers whose great differences stemmed from their core beliefs. The paper shows that Lao-Tzu believed that the way for humankind to achieve happiness was to connect fully with nature and to not try to control everyday events. It shows, in comparison, that Martin Luther King believed that humankind should confront evil and correct the wrongs of the world.
From the Paper
"King?s philosophy was more in line with that of Confucius, who believed that people must make a social difference. However, Lao-Tzu?s approach to ?do nothing? was not the same as King?s approach to ?do nothing? when demonstrators were attacked. Lao-Tzu?s view was mystical. He would have recognized that while Martin Luther?s King?s approach may have appeared to be ?doing nothing? at first, actually it was the final action of an elaborate plan designed to make a very big social difference. It started with King?s followers educating the activists very careful about the philosophy of non-violence. They planned where they would demonstrate, and when. They planned what they would wear and exactly what they would do when they ?did nothing.?"

Abstract
In this paper, the writer shows how Plato and Lao-tzu both display similarities within their theme of enlightenment and political success and the modern day influence of their works. However, the methods of dialogue and poetry to present their writings helps to maintain their philosophical uniqueness.
From the Paper
"Philosophy is the rational investigation of the truths and principles of being, knowledge, or conduct . Plato, a Greek writer and teacher, is thought to be one of the most influential thinkers in Western philosophy. In his work, "The Allegory of the Cave," he discusses politics and perception within a symbolic narrative. Lao-tzu's "Thoughts from the Tao-te Ching," is another document containing philosophical ideology, focusing on government and moral behavior. Both Plato and Lao-tzu display similarities within their theme and their influence in the modern world; however, one distinct variation they possess is the method in which their material is presented."

From the Paper
"Lao She was perhaps the best-known writer in China behind Lin Yutang, and he captured the spirit of the age of revolution and of change in China. His novel Rickshaw is his most enduring legacy, and yet it would also become an annoyance to the angry students of the Cultural Revolution and would lead to attacks on Lao She, both verbal and physical, in the 1960s. Translator Jean M. James says of Lao that he was, like Charles Dickens, a social novelist and a chronicler of Peking as Dickens was of London:
The terrible life of the poor depicted in Rickshaw is hard to believe, but sociological studies conducted in Peking in the twenties describe the same conditions and worse.
An examination of the novel and the culture that produced it shows how Lao She developed his social commentary and some of the ... "

Abstract
This paper describes the Canadian International Development Agency, or the CIDA.

The paper discusses how the CIDA gives much needed aid to segments of the world such as Africa.
From the Paper
"The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) considers development within a global community as their vision. This international agency realizes that now, as never before, countries are inescapably linked to one another. How one country treats their environment affects the environmental concerns of another. Changing economic structures affect the economies of other countries, as is currently visible in regards to the economic relationship between China and the United States. Therefore, the development which the CIDA is aiming towards regards equity involving strengthening of economic, environmental, social and governmental policies that are built upon common goals, resources and values internationally and in their homeland, Canada."

From the Paper
"This study will examine Taoism in terms of the impact of that religion of Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu. The study will compare these two men's philosophies and ideas as they relate to Taoism, and will explore the implications of their thoughts for governing oneself and others. Also included will be the consideration of the relationship of their approaches and contemporary counterculture.
A comparison with the conformity of Confucianism shows the non-conformity to be a clear reflection of contemporary counterculture. The latter rejects the traditional culture just as Taoism rejects Confucianism. It is no surprise, then, to find the contemporary counterculture leaning toward Taoist thought, Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu in its attempts to find an alternative world view and a fresh, radical, individualized and more ..."

From the Paper
" Human beings have from the beginning tried to discover the relationship between themselves and the universe in which they live. They noted the life cycle of birth, life, and death and wondered if there was something more beyond, and this a question that has been addressed by religion and philosophy ever since. Taoism as represented by the writings of Lao-Tzu and Idealism as represented by Plato differ in certain key aspects of how the world is viewed, how human beings are thought to relate to that world, and so the philosophy developed by each writer. Lao-Tzu is a pantheistic thinker and views the human being as one with the universe. Plato, like most Western philosophers, sees a dualism between man and nature and within man himself, separating mind and body. Plato is even more of a dualist in that he sees this world as a reflection of an ideal world existing on some.."

From the Paper
"The Hmong culture is found today in southern China, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. The original homeland of the Hmongs was in Central Asia, but they eventually moved southward until they settled in the mountains of Southern China. They were driven from their homes by the Chinese and again moved to the south, gradually seeping into their present ethnic enclaves. More than half a million Hmongs have fled from southern China since the beginning of the nineteenth century, though 2.5 million still live in china. Prior to Vietnam in April 1975, there were some 50,000 Hmongs in Thailand, 225,000 in Vietnam, and 350,000 in Laos, while some 50,000 came to America as refugees in the mid-1970s. The Hmongs were uprooted from their homeland by foreign invaders. They fought against the Japanese in World War II, then siding with the Royal Lao in opposition to the Pathet Lao, with ... "
