Abstract
This paper discusses the current worldwide economic gap between the rich and poor. The author examines some of the different reasons for this gap including a shrinking middle class, the exit of many production facitilites from the United States to countries with cheap labor. According to this writer, the information age has helped establish a global economy whose members do not all share the same successes, or political stability. The paper also discusses the differences between American and European economic policies and how these policies helped or hindered recovery from the economic downturn that began in the early 1990s. The author also discusses how economic inequality, government policies, or lack of them, international financial investments and policy, deregulation and privitization and abuse of free trade have have all contributed to the growing worldwide gap between the rich and poor.
From the Paper
"In America, during the Great depression of the 1930, President Roosevelt placed on the back of the one-dollar bill, an unfinished pyramid with a glowing eye at the top. The pyramid represented the economic strength and the durability of the American economy. The unfinished section represented the vast potential that could still be attained. It encouraged the American people to work harder and attain more. The bill also has two Latin inscription (Annuit Coeptis) and (Novos Ordo Seclorum). The first tells Americans that God favors their undertakings; the second prophesies a new American order of wealth. (Thurow, 1999) This indicates that no matter how much society as a whole has progressed, the fundamental measures by which man measures himself in terms of wealth and possessions have not changed from the Egyptian society of prehistoric times to the current societies. The need for man to be able to satisfy his daily needs and save some thing for a rainy day will always be a good motivator."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Kim and Mauborgne's 2001 article, "Creating New Market Space," in which they critically identify the processes through which several companies have redefined their market orientation. The paper looks at the companies: Home Depot, Quicken Software, Ralph Lauren, Bloomberg, Barnes & Nobel, Starbucks and the Body Shop. It then looks at the innovative new markets that were pioneered by these companies.
From the Paper
"Six innovative new markets were pioneered by these companies seeking to diversify into new market spaces. These are best determined by the boundaries that affect diversity: substitute industries, strategic groups within industries, buyers, complimentary products and services, emotional appeal, and time. The rate of adoption for consumers is heavily dependent on how and to what extent the market accepts change, but also how well the company can affect the consumer's decision-making capabilities through providing a new experience. It is therefore a process of incentives, where the company needs to identify if the proposed market space offers advantages that will influence the consumer's purchasing habits. Working within the six boundaries helps to focus the discussion and determine whether innovative efforts will be worth the time and investment. Kim and Mauborgne (2001) stress that innovation in redefining market orientation is resource-intensive, and therefore steps to achieve redefinition must meet or exceed the outcome attached to it to make the reorientation worthwhile."

Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that multiculturalism in education is an essential element in shaping America's increasingly diverse society. The writer notes that different ethnic, linguistic, racial, and religious groups bring to the contemporary world a wide range of experiences and viewpoints. The writer points out that immigrants who do not speak English fluently are often wrongly tracked toward special education programs, or even tagged as mentally disabled. They are denied even the opportunities for education and advancement. The writer then discusses that multiculturalism seeks to expand the horizons of all Americans through a comprehensive program of showing off the histories and strengths of all the diverse people who comprise the American mosaic. While looking also at its shortcomings, the writer maintains that multiculturalism opens the eyes of students and teachers alike, and lets them know that there are other ways of looking at our society.

From the Paper
"A lack of tolerance and respect for diversity frequently results in stigmatization and permanent problems down the road. Members of minority groups with limited proficiency in the English language are commonly single out as learning disabled. Though these individual's limited success in traditional course of English literature, and reading writing, may largely be ascribed to their never having attend full fluency in the English language, or to their community's use of English on a level that in to consonant with school standards, these considerations are nevertheless ignored, and the person is labeled learning disabled. Caroline T. Clark cites one case of a young Latina in Los Angeles who, in college, was declared to possess a learning disability in reading. The parameters used to make this determination ignored other possible factors, but even worse, they ignored the objective criteria that should be used in the making of such a determination."

Creating a New Trust, 2008.
This paper discusses creating a new trust between the Canadian police and Aboriginal women of Canada.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that Aboriginal women in Canada suffer a long-standing distrust of Canadian police that compromises their safety and citizenship. The writer notes that like all Canadians, First Nations women need police support to deter violence and injustice against them. If they cannot turn to the police, a fundamental democratic right that they are entitled to is not functioning properly. The writer points out that this problem has been written about by Aboriginal women's groups, Canadian policing organizations, and even Amnesty International. The writer maintains that the mainstream Canadian police continue to fail Aboriginal women because they lack the imagination necessary to conquer the problems that Aboriginal women face. Or, perhaps provincial police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have a good idea, but they lack the courage to employ it. The writer concludes that in either case, all Canadian citizens would benefit from new police initiatives that work for everyone.
From the Paper
"It is exceptionally difficult, even in mainstream Canadian society, for a woman to extricate herself from a situation of domestic abuse. This requires financial and legal support. It means walking away from someone she once loved, or may still love. It means turning your life upside down while working with the police to ensure her safety. This is critical: without police support, a woman is open to harassment and assaults from not just her former spouse, but from anyone."
"But what if she distrusts the police? What if the police are, in her view, just another brutal gang that may well take advantage of her? A woman in peril cannot be expected to choose the protection of an untrustworthy bunch of thugs over the thug she intends to extricate herself from. That would be compounding her problem, rather than reducing it. As one Aboriginal writer noted in The Manitoban Online, even Native women who had been severely brutalized by family members still felt less safe when police were seen on the reservation."

From the Paper
"While no one would likely maintain that effective organizational hierarchies should be entirely democratic in nature (after all, someone has to have a vision and lead the way), it has become increasingly clear in recent years that people tend to respond to collaborative leadership techniques more readily than they do some others. Not surprisingly, though, by the time many managers have overcome the challenges and obstacles in their career paths to achieve a position of authority, they have become increasingly reluctant to concede any of that authority to their subordinates (Hargrove, 2001). Truly effective collaborative leaders, though, do not concede any of their authority when they empower their subordinates, but rather provide them with the tools and techniques they will need to achieve superior results for both the employees as well as the enterprise involved."

From the Paper
"In a book called Geography of Nowhere - The Rise and Decline of America's Man-Made Landscape, James Howard Kunstler makes a dismal observation about the landscape of America. Whereas America was once a land of Our-Town-esque Main Streets and cogent communities, it has fallen into an amorphous array of highways, fast food restaurants, parking lots and sprawling pre-fab housing developments. He makes the claim that Eighty percent of everything ever built in America has been built in the last fifty years, and most of it is depressing, brutal, ugly, unhealthy, and spiritually degrading. The diffusion of American society to the corners of the carbon-copy suburbs and exurbs is lamentable, however, one is forced to ask why people fled the urban neighborhoods that had formed the nuclei of social interaction.
Robert Putnam, Dean of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, blames the alienation of the individual from society on the decline of group-oriented social activities. Not only does he see these as key to building better communities, he claims that they are essential to the American Republic. His book, Bowling Alone, has been considered the most important work on society in America in the 1990?s. In an interview about his book, Putnam described why he considered a competitive sport such as bowling to be such a crucial element in society. Writing in 1994, Putnam notes that although bowling alone, which is non-competitive, is up by 10% since 1980, the existence of competitive bowling leagues was down by 40%."

Abstract
One of the most fascinating aspects of literature is its ability to broaden our understanding of the world by seeing things in new ways and by making new and unexpected connections and juxtapositions. In this way literature can enhance and enrich our enjoyment of our world and our understanding of our world by literally creating new ways for us to see and experience the world. While literature itself usually has no visual images what it does is use verbal techniques to create visual images in our heads. This paper examines the use of light and visual apparatuses in Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130" and Alice Munro's "Boys and Girls".

Abstract
This paper takes a look at Benjamin Thomas' book "La Revolucion: Mexico's Great Revolution as Memory, Myth & History", which contends that the revolution which Mexico celebrates is a deliberate creation, something often going beyond actual events. The paper points out that, according to Thomas, although the story of the revolution is partly based on fact, the nation created its own past through retelling its history. To conclude, the paper praises Thomas' work as a valuable book beause it is not merely on history, but on how history is created.
From the Paper
"Thomas notes that Carranza was more adept at seizing power than wielding it. He alienated the Zapatistas by murdering their leader. He allowed only limited land redistribution, the key demand of the country's poor. (Thomas 33-34) He claimed to be carrying out Madero's revolution, but Villa and Zapata both denounced him as a traitor to Madero's memory (Thomas 53), and he consolidated power relentlessly in the "War of the Winners" of 1915. (Thomas 26) He successfully created a story of la Revolucion glorifying his own role by drawing on strong support among the intellectual, social, and political elites of Mexico City. (Thomas, 52-54, 57, 60-69) By crushing his rivals, he won the right to create the story of his triumph."

Abstract
This paper presents sociological theories of what a community is and asks the question whether this can be artificially created using the Del Webb planned community in Arizona as a basis for the discussion.
From the Paper
Del Webb is the nation?s leading builder of active and adult lifestyle communities for people aged 55 and older. They are also the largest builder of single-family homes in the United States. So, when they built their master-planned community ?Anthem? about 35 miles north of Phoenix, Arizona in the middle of the Southwestern desert, it would certainly follow that this community that itself sprung up out of nowhere in the middle of the desert like the fabled ?Phoenix? would be a success.

Abstract
Most of the world's religions have many common thoughts and underlying beliefs, including commonalities in beliefs about developing good character and the importance of love and compassion. This essay attempts to create a new religion (called the Harmony) that is inspired by the commonalities seen in many world religions. Rituals, commandments and beliefs are all be examined, and where applicable, outlined for this new religion.
From the Paper
"Most of the world's religions have many common thoughts and underlying beliefs. While religions can differ in the type of god or gods that are worshiped, rituals, commandments, and structure, most religions share some of the same basic, core beliefs. Essentially, virtually all religions of the world espouse many of the same beliefs, but choose to express these beliefs in their own ways. Specifically, many of the world's main religions like Buddhism (technically a philosophy but often considered a religion), Christianity, and Hinduism all preach the same concepts of love and being a good person. Love and compassion are tenets shared between a large number of religions. Christianity urges followers to love their enemies, and notes that God is love. The Dali Lami, the leader of Tibetan Buddhism argues that humanity cannot survive without love and compassion (Shreve)."

Creating A New Identity, 2008.
An analysis of the characters' attempts to transform themselves in Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" and James Weldon Johnson's "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man".

Abstract
The paper discusses the central characters in Johnson's "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man" and Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" who both create or forge false identities for themselves. The paper focuses on the characters' attempt to 'pass' as someone else and construct a false identity that leads to the acquisition of a new racial or social status. The paper highlights how these attempts are accompanied by inevitable problems and difficulties that result in frustration and eventually disillusionment.
From the Paper
"The publication of the two narratives, Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and James Weldon Johnson's An Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man, coincides with a period in the American cultural life in which the search for the 'American Dream' was a very prominent theme. Also, the nineteen twenties constituted the decade in which the Harlem Renaissance or the 'New Negro Renaissance' sprang as a cultural movement in America. As it is well known, the Harlem Renaissance was an attempt at 'uplifting the black race' through a redefinition of African American identity and a celebration of the values specific to black culture. These two themes form the core of the novels under investigation- the fulfillment of the 'American Dream' in The Great Gatsby and the uplifting of the black race in The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man."
