Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at climate changes and focuses on its effects on Peru, in particular. The writer explains how the background of the Peruvian people and Peru's unstable climate make Peru especially susceptible to global warming. The paper also exmaines the effects on Peru of global warming such as freezing weather, glacial retreat, El Nino and then discusses what is being done about climate change. The writer notes that climate change is a global problem and explains that it is an on going process caused primarily by global warming, harming both natural and human environments. The writer points out that because of the way the Peruvian people live, and because Peru has such an unstable climate that can be influenced by many factors, Peru is the third most susceptible country to global warming. The writer concludes that the people who depend on the Andean highlands in Peru are facing severe hardships due to global warming and notes that if the trend of climate change continues, the effects of global warming will only be felt more severely.
From the Paper
"Because the weather was freezing weather rather than hotter weather, it is harder to link this abrupt change to global warming. However, one cannot just assume the freezing weather is an anomaly because it was a national crisis that had never happened before. Global warming would mean higher temperatures; this would mean to increased levels of evaporation, and increased levels of precipitation. Therefore, one link that can be made to this unusually freezing weather would be the increased levels of evaporation leading to a higher level of snowfall and sleet in Peru. The higher levels of sleet and snowfall would contribute to the abnormally cold temperatures in the Andean highlands in the middle of July."

"Franciscan Beginnings in Early Colonial Peru", 2002.
A brief review of the book "Franciscan Beginnings in Early Colonial Peru" by Antonine Tibesar which provides an account of the Franciscans? role in converting the native population of Peru to Christianity.

Abstract
This paper examines how Tibesar, basing his work on primary sources wherever possible, asserts that although the Franciscan Order was by no means the primary religious order in colonial Peru, the Franciscans successfully integrated the Indians into Spanish culture. The paper describes the contents of the book as well as the type of sources used.
From the Paper
"The author constantly admits that there is a dearth of documentary materials written by religious persons of the sixteenth century. Rather, most documents were written by military personnel or conquistadors. Rather than become discouraged by this lack of source material, Tibesar works closely with the materials provided to him by the Franciscan Order in modern Peru. The focus for the book is specifically on the Franciscan Order, but by necessity Tibesar places the Order in social, political, and historical context in order to provide an accurate account of its role in sixteenth century Peru. Tibesar notes that the Franciscan Order contended with frequent clashes of interest with Spanish authorities, both religious and secular, in their attempts to convert the Indians. For the Franciscan, Christian spirituality and way of life were far more important than establishing organized bodies of governance in New Spain. Therefore, the friars basically remained true to their ideals of Christianity."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Peru faces many problems common to many developing countries around the world, including economic difficulties. The problems include underdevelopment in its infrastructure, including underdevelopment in its health, education, industrial, and transport sectors, and environmental difficulties, including deforestation, overgrazing, desertification, pollution; there is severe air pollution in Lima and river pollution from unregulated industries. It also examines how Peru has the added problem of coca and the illicit drugs trade. The paper looks at three global issues, in particular, the struggling economy, deforestation, and the illicit drug trade, and discusses how they directly affect the country of Peru. It also analyzes these three issues in relation to three other countries, Colombia (an Andean neighbor), Uganda (an African example of a developing country), and India (an Asian example of a developing country).
From the Paper
"In terms of the problem of illicit drugs, Uganda and India are not fair comparisons with Peru, as these two countries do not suffer from such a problem: Uganda has problems with smuggling of precious stones, but not drugs. The direct comparison here will therefore again be Colombia. As we have seen, those connected with the illegal drug trade in Colombia import coca leaves from Peru for processing to cocaine, for export to drug-users in the US and Europe. The same problems, i.e., falsely inflated economies, leading to unemployment and economic difficulties upon the collapse of this economy, also apply to Colombia. Businesses and communities in the heart of Cali have been destroyed by coca dollars, and again through their withdrawal from the local economy."

An overview and criticism of Peru's justice system.
12,311 words (approx. 49.2 pages), 24 sources, MLA, $ 237.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the overall justice system in Peru in order to understand the history of the Peruvian society's justice system as it relates to its current status. The paper also attempts to correlate Peru's justice system with the Peruvian governmental, military and religious systems, as well as analyze the problems in the justice system and research possible and/or proven solutions. Additionally, the paper hypothesizes that the Peruvian justice system is really in a chaotic state and both the government and the military system of Peru were the cause of the disorder. However, with the current initiatives of political reform coupled with the continuing efforts of the Catholic and other evangelical churches, the justice system in Peru will likely soon be experiencing dramatic, positive change.

From the Paper
"Peruvian policing has an unpromising history. Policing was militarized under military government from 1968 to 1980. Through the 1980s and 1990s the police confronted Peru's brutal Maoist Shining Path guerrilla movement (Sendero Luminoso) and another smaller guerrilla group (MRTA). For much of this period, the police were under direct military command in emergency zones that covered nearly half the country for over a decade. Both the police and military were responsible for methodical and egregious human rights violations (Mawby 1999). Police were also themselves victims of acts of terrorist violence, and continue to hold views overwhelmingly shaped by the counterterrorist experience, including a tendency to associate human rights with guerrillas and communists.

Abstract
This paper examines how Pizarro came to conquer of Peru in 1523 with the blessing of King Charles I of Spain and his relationship with the natives of the time - the Incas. It discusses how Pizarro's goal was to take the riches of the empire for himself and to subjugate the people to Catholicism and to Spanish rule. It evaluates the repercussions of Pizarro?s conquest and how the conquest of the entire Americas cannot be overstated.The Inca civilization was more advanced than Western European civilization at the time, and so many things about art and architecture and science that the Europeans could have learned about had were wiped out.
From the Paper
"In many ways, the Inca civilization was more advanced than Western European Civilization. Inca surgeons were performing brain surgery while the Europeans favorite medical treatment was leeches. In 1531, the Inca had achieved amazing feats, not just in art, architecture, science, etc, but in socio-politics. In Inca society there were no poor people. Orphans, widows, etc, were cared for by the state. Workers retired at 50 on pensions of food and clothing. There was little crime. "

Abstract
This paper provides a brief analysis of Davies book in which he analyzes the economic and fiscal history of Peru. He focuses his study on the families of Arequipa, that the Spaniards founded in 1540 in Southwestern Peru. It looks at how they invested in agricultural lands so they could become a symbol of status in the society.
From the Paper
"Geographically, the region of Peru that is written about in the book is different from the areas in the southern, northern and central regions as far as topography is concerned. The plot of this book focuses on the period starting from the early 1700?s till the late 1700?s. However, after reading this book one feels that if it had been written around the eighteenth century it would have attracted greater attention since the inauguration of the general was responsible for many of the changes."

Abstract
This paper evaluates the significance of the work of "St. Rose of Lima" from a psychological perspective. The paper shows that many would argue that St. Rose was a strong example of a person that was fully dedicated to her faith and its teachings, and her sacrifices are particularly important to the understanding of the psychological basis of her religious faith and practice.
From the Paper
"St. Rose of Lima is a unique religious figure that warrants further examination from a psychological perspective. Specifically, St. Rose of Lima is particularly prominent because of her distinction as the first woman to be named a saint that originated in the Americas. Her life was devoted entirely to God and to performing good works, and despite many objections from those within her social circle; Rose did not recoil in her total commitment to her faith. Many of her actions are considered to be extreme in some respects, yet she was steadfast and dedicated to her vow. The psychological nature of St. Rose's acts of kindness and humility will be the focus of the following discussion."

From the Paper
"Mario Vargas Llosa's first and foremost claim to fame is as one of Peru's most famous and acclaimed novelists. He began his literary career in the 1960's and is the author of The Cubs and Other Stories, Captain Pantoja and the Special service, Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter, and The Real Life of Alejandro Mayta, among many others. His talent and success allowed him to spend time abroad; he studied in Madrid and lived in Paris and London. While serving on a literary-award committee in Cuba in 1966, he learned of a program to "cure" homosexuals; offended by this program, Vargas Llosa began his first venture into politics by drawing up a petition against it. In July of 1987, while listening to a speech by Peruvian President Alan Garc?a, whose politics, Vargas Llosa writes, "seemed like a time bomb," Vargas Llosa became afflicted by "the disease of politics."

Abstract
The purpose of this research project is to determine the feasibility of implementing a new internationally recognized quality system called ISO 9002/CP2 at the General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLSD), Lima Tank Plant. The nature of the problem is focused on determining whether it makes sense to change the quality system over to ISO 9002/CP2 or wait for future contract solicitations to mandate ISO 9002/CP2 compliance, and just maintain the MIL-Q-9858 quality system that is in place today. Questions discussed include whether there is real benefit to change the quality system now and incur the costs associated with a change. It also asks if this is a waste of time and money. In order to determine whether implementation of ISO 9002/CP2 is a waste of time and money, five specific objectives are identified to first determine the significance of time and money that is involved. Two of the objectives focus on answering the question relating to the amount of time required to implement ISO 9002/CP2 and the other three objectives focus on the costs required to implement and maintain an ISO 9002/CP2 quality system. A recommendation to implement a quality system complying with the ISO 9002/CP2 quality standard is made from the analysis and conclusions of the project.

From the Paper
"With increased focus on quality issues worldwide, various organizations had prepared guidelines in the quality field. Although there were similarities among the many standards, the quality picture became quite cloudy. Terms such as "quality policy" acquired different, and sometimes conflicting, meanings from country to country, within a country, and even within an industry.
ISO is an organization established for the purpose of developing worldwide standards to improve international communication and collaboration. ISO 9000 is a standard of quality management, hugely popular in Europe, that is rapidly taking hold in the United States and around the globe, and is quickly becoming a mandated requirement for many companies."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the sexual and marital lives of women in four major Latin American cities between the 17th and 19th centuries. By analyzing and comparing the experiences of women in Mexico City, Bahia, Buenos Aries and Lima, this paper shows that while there were certainly some differences in the intimate lives of the populations in these areas, there were more often vastly similar social norms and religious institutions which resulted in similar life experiences from one major city to another. Further, this paper discusses these differences and similarities in terms of their effects on the sexual and marital lives of the women in colonial Latin America.
From the Paper
"Only women who were virgins when single, monogamous when married, and chaste when widowed were allowed legal discourse (Seed 1988). Sexual crimes such as concubinage, incest, bigamy, and abortion were often harshly punished when the offender were female (Seed 1988). Further, prostitution was illegal, as was adultery, and both were punishable by a loss of dowry and shares of community property, or imprisonment. In drastic cases, the husband was allowed to kill the woman (Seed 1988)."

Abstract
The Shining Path terrorist group launched a series of attacks in Peru, terrorizing the country for decades before they were beaten back in a 1990?s crackdown. However, in March 2002, a car bomb attack near the United States embassy in Lima made Peruvian citizens recall their fears of terrorism. While the Shining Path has remained low-key for several years, the national and state government still recognize it as a terrorist organization. This paper takes a look at this group, including its history and leadership, structure and activities.
From the Paper
"The Shining Path was defeated for many reasons. For one, there was a lack of support among large sectors of the population as the group used authoritarian methods against peasants, workers, and other sectors of the population (Rueter?s, 1998). In addition, its brutal military repression all but guaranteed its lack of success, and the group was opposed by grass-roots organizations. Finally, the vertical nature of the party structure led to international isolation. The group was doomed."
