Abstract
This paper explains that the objectives of this research study are to compare the U.S. educational system with the European educational system by identifying (1) three major trends in education today and (2) the critical factors relating to education, which are most likely to improve student performance in the future global economy. The author points out that current studies indicated that time and time again European students score better than American students on critical subjects including mathematics and the sciences; however, the extent to which this discrepancy is relevant is debated by numerous researchers, who claim that a liberal arts education as more frequently encouraged and offered in the United States, is more important than a strictly science-based education. The paper proposes a qualitative study, based on the analysis of documentary data, systematic observation of behavior and in-depth small groups interviews using a questionnaire and a population of 20 professors from select universities and of 10 teachers from local high schools.

From the Paper
"Part of the reason may be European instruction is more vigorous; there are many curriculum differences that should be examined. Students in the United States generally have the option to take classes that are considered rigorous, such as calculus, chemistry and physics to complete high school, whereas European schools generally require at minimum three years of native language, math, foreign language, physics, chemistry and biology. The U.S. system is based on the notion that education should be more flexible, allowing for personal choice and directions, whereas the European system is considered more focused on academic rigor, which is "a consequence of the educational traditions of the Old Continent."

Reasons for Signing the Treaty
From the Paper
"While there are many political reasons that the US may refuse to sign the treaty, one of the chief causes for concern might be the establishment of an International Criminal Court. Many UN delegates support the idea of an International Criminal Court but the United States has been steadfast in its refusal to agree. An international criminal court might begin the slippery slope of descent to the power of individual nations when it comes to many issues including the treaty.If the international criminal court gains favor and power in the future it is feasible that the court could be used to enforce the treaty."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the doctrine of multiculturalism. The writer offers an analysis of why such a doctrine is problematic. In order to examine the issue of multiculturalism, the writer uses examples from the public education systems in the U.S. and Great Britain to show the difficulties in treating all cultures as equal.
From the Paper
"Multiculturalism is defined by the Ayn Rand institute as the view that all cultures are equal. While this doctrine is often adopted in spirit if not in principle in the U.S. and Great Britain, multiculturalism is problematic as a term. For if all cultures are equal we cannot say that there is one superior way of being, one superior set of values or one superior method of educating individuals. However societies like America and Great Britain often adopt such methods values ... "

Abstract
The paper discusses how training and forming executives, at all levels of the company and no matter what the size of the organization, is essential in today's continuously competitive marketing environment. The paper explains that executive development ensures leadership in a corporation and leadership ensures the success the company will have in the marketplace. The paper looks at present of executive development and also explores future trends in executive development. The paper concludes that executive development is one of the growing concerns that organizations are likely to face in the future.
From the Paper
"For a long period of time in the past, leadership was often equivalent to a patriarchal figure, often founder of the company, who transmitted his knowledge to the people in the hierarchy and passed on leadership to the new executives of the corporation. Examples can range from Henry Ford to Sam Walton and to Thomas Watson Sr. at IBM. Executive development was not regulated in any way within the organization and it generally meant that the leader and founder taught the younger executives the leadership trade."

Abstract
This paper argues that the seemingly disparate trends in the American construction industry are in fact related by the geography of modern employment. Our booming technology-based economy has focused its growth in urban areas, leading to skyrocketing housing prices and urban sprawl while simultaneously leaving construction employment and nationwide building trends dormant.
From the Paper
"In 1982, total construction receipts for single-family homes totaled $5.3 billion. By 1997, receipts had grown to an inflation-adjusted amount of $7.9 billion. This 60% increase is significantly less than the overall growth in construction in the United States in that time period, which almost tripled from $313 billion to $835 billion(US Census Bureau, 1982, 1987, 1997). The causes underlying this startling difference are hard to pin down, but a large part of the blame can probably be ascribed to the significant depression of the late eighties and early nineties. The high interest rates and high inflation figures of the era scared away new home buyers, while government investment in the private sector spurred other aspects of construction (Econedlink, 2000)."

Abstract
The paper reveals that trends in culture are reflected in the public's perception of drugs and their usage. Therefore, the paper stresses that the social and cultural aspects and perceptions of drug usage are an important part of understanding drug trends. The paper discusses the drug trends of the past and notes that today the public is becoming more aware of the dangers of drug abuse. This is evidenced by declining drug usage rates in many sectors of the population. The paper points out, however, that this is countered by the alarming trend of increasing drug usage among very young children and the abuse of painkillers. The paper emphasizes how drug abuse is often unconsciously aided by social norms and trends. The paper concludes with the hope that the recent decline in drug usage is an indication of a new trend of mature awareness of this problem.
From the Paper
"Drug usage in America has been an endemic part of the cultural fabric of the society since the early years of its history. Drugs played a part in the social exchange between the early colonists and the indigenous inhabitants and alcohol was also an ever-present element of America's early cultural history. For example, "As early as 1585, members of the first settlement on Roanoke Island achieved some success brewing beer from Indian maize." (Tracy and Acker 3) In the Jacksonian era alcohol was commonly brewed and distilled and was also used for the medicinal purposes. (Tracy and Acker 3) Alcohol is in fact is an important element in understanding the historical trends in relation to other drugs, as it provides an underlying rationale for the social acceptance of drug taking."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Success in any work setting depends on a respect for people and an understanding of human behavior in complex organizational systems (Schermerhorn et al, 2005). Understanding the human behavior is especially important when trying to manage and develop people to make ethical and savvy business decisions on behalf of the organization. Most people will agree ethical behavior is defined as behavior that is morally right and good as opposed to wrong or bad. However, the consensus of what is ethical pertaining to a specific action will often vary from person to person."

Abstract
This paper examines how there are numerous trends that can be evaluated that impact organizational behavior. It looks at how these trends can affect the organization's behaviors as whole or at the employee level. In particular, it shows how the behavior within an organization can be affected by the following trends; influence of ethics on decision-making, the impact of technology on work-related stress, and the impact of globalization on business practices. Other trends include the impact of politics and power within organizations and emphasis on teamwork.
From the Paper
"Ethical decisions are not just left to the managers of an organization; many organizations offer ethical training classes to help all its employees make ethically sound decisions. According to Bateman, T. & Snell, S. (2004), there are two ethic programs that organization follow, compliance-based and integrity-based programs. Compliance-based programs are organizational mechanisms that are typically designed by and organization's corporate counsel to prevent, detect, and punish legal violations. Integrity-based programs are organizational mechanisms that are designed to instill in its employees a personal responsibility for ethical behavior. It would be in the best interest of an organization to use both programs, as an organization must have a way to detect unethical behavior and know that the majority of its employees have a personal responsibility for ethical behavior."

Abstract
This is a short paper regarding the association of future trends in hospital financing and the accompanying changes and requirements that would be placed on an in-hospital pharmacy. The paper discusses various trends, such as closing or merging for those in capital poor situations; increased collections, greater use of technology and specializing were trends for those in capital rich situations. The paper examines the necessary pharmaceutical recommendations in response to these changes.
From the Paper
"Future trends in hospital financing are either exciting or dismal, depending on what the hospital's current bond rating is ("How are Hospitals," 2004). If it is secure, the future is bright, as that hospital belongs to the group of hospitals considered "the haves." For the haves, money is not an issue and capital is readily available. For the "have nots" operating capital is scarce if it is there at all, the hospital is in jeopardy of closing its doors, and financing options are virtually non-existent ("How are Hospitals Financing, 2004). A reported "47% of hospital CFOs say they can't keep up with the basic need for capital improvements" (How are Hospitals, 2004)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how looking at the recipients for the major film and television awards for 2006 reveals distinct trends. It looks at how history has clarified many of the trends that help determine which actors and which films win awards and how nominated movies are almost always big budget, large scale productions. It also examines how critics and motion picture academies tend to like films about overcoming obstacles: including war, racism, and physical or mental disabilities and how audiences and critics alike are fascinated with unique and exceptional individuals, whether disabled or celebrity.
From the Paper
"Film awards may serve as cultural barometers and as reflections of current consciousness and cultural ideals. Helen Mirren's portrayal of Queen Elizabeth humanizes one of the most emotionally distant public leaders. Audiences want to see their heroes and nemeses humanized. Superhero movies are fun but their impact on human consciousness is minimal. We want to watch strong characters grapple with tough decisions and survive against the odds. Films depicting legal battles against major corporations denote the victory of the little man: a favorite American theme. We want to see intense suffering turned into personal triumph, which is integral to the mythos of our culture."

Abstract
"This paper discusses an article from the Economist Intelligence Unit, a publication of The Economist, entitled "China's Economy: U.S. and E.U. Get Tough on Textiles" as it relates to the price pressures on apparels in the U.S. market. These issues are examined from a macroeconomic perspective with an emphasis on Keynesian and neo-classical macroeconomic theory.
From the Paper
"Following the end of quotas on textile imports from China as of 1 January 2005, both the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) have witnessed a massive influx of textile imports from China: "U.S. imports of Chinese clothing swelled in January, a rush of new products following the end of international quotas that for decades had limited global apparel trade" (Chinese, 2005, para.1). While increases have been across the board, three categories in particular have seen huge increases: cotton knit shirts, blouses and cotton trousers, and these have been targeted for renewed protectionist quotas by both the US and the EU (China, 2005, para.2).

From the Paper
"In spite of initiatives such as the Eight-Year Study and student-centered learning, public schools in American have remained deeply entrenched in traditional teaching; nevertheless, because the need is so great, renewed efforts to reconceptualize teaching in order to improve learning continue to emerge (Gross, 1997). What subjects should be taught in our schools, by what means, to whom, under what circumstances, and with what objective in mind? According to Reid (1999), these are the fundamental questions of curriculum that continue to be debated by politicians, administrators, educators, and, not least, the public at large; however, just what is curriculum? "It is a multitude of encounters between teachers (practitioners) and students (clients) in circumstances of great individuality, where outcomes are seldom predictable" (Reid, 1999, p. 3). In addition, a curriculum is also, by necessity, an institution. This is possible because both educators and the public alike have a firm conception of curriculum as institution, which includes concepts of "gradedness" (what it means to be a fifth grader), concepts of "subjectness" (what it means to study fifth-grade geography), and so forth (Reid, 1993).
