Abstract
This paper discusses how a critical examination of development of Bangladesh indicates that its development has proceeded in accordance with dependency theory, which reflects the English School theory of international relations.
From the Paper
"It must also be taken into account that Bangladesh is the poorest country on earth, yet has vast, untapped oil reserves, which makes it a tempting target for a Western power such as the United States, which may decide to "liberate" it in the name of "democracy" as part of "the war on terror" after it finishes "liberating" Iraq and perhaps Iran as well.
The current political weakness of the Bush Administration and the chaos in Iraq make this scenario unlikely in the near future, but such a development over the next ten to twenty years cannot be ruled out. "

Abstract
This paper explains that the People's Republic of Bangladesh (Bangladesh) is located in the northeast subcontinent of India. The author points out that a great geographic disadvantage and advantage of Banbladesh is that a large portion of Bangladesh is formed by the delta of three great rivers, the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna, which frequently flood but leave behind a great deal of fertile soil. The paper underscores that the government of Bangladesh has undergone numerous changes since it independence in 1971. The author stresses that, although its economy has improved considerably since becoming an independent nation, Bangladesh is one of the poorest countries in the world. The also paper relates that the Bangladesh economy is quite corrupt. The author believes that, despite its many various downsides, Bangladesh's economic status has a potentially bright future because of its strong economic and trade relationship with the U.S.

"According to estimates from last year Bangladesh's GDP is about $330.8 billion, while GDP per capita is $2,200. Taken from the same year the country's estimated real GDP growth rate is 6.1 percent, while the inflation rate is even higher at 7.2 percent ("The World," 2007). Current estimates state that, in order to significantly better the standards of living for its people, the country must experience and uphold a growth rate of at least 7-9 percent (usembassy.gov). Regardless of this statistic Bangladesh has made some very significant economic improvements in the past decade, which is proven by its surprisingly low unemployment (including underemployment) rate of 2.5 percent in 2006. Despite a few big steps in the right direction, however, the economy of Bangladesh still has much room for advancement. In 2006 exports reached about $11.17 billion, but the country imported even more, at $13.77 billion, making the trade balance of Bangladesh quite unfavorable ("The World," 2007)."

"Ancient Bangladesh also witnessed the flowering of temple, stupa and monastic architecture as well as Buddhist art and sculpture. There was discernible influence of the Pala art of Bengal on Javanese art. There was a close affinity between the scripts used on certain Javanese sculptures and proto-Bengali alphabet. A group of temples in Burma were built on the model of Bangladeshi temples. The architecture and iconographic ideas of Bengal inspired architects, sculptors and artists in Cambodia and the Indonesian archipelago. The influence of Pala art in Bengal could be easily traced in Nepalese and Tibetan paintings, as well as in Tang Art of China."

Population Problems in Bangladesh, 2002.
Examines population problems and control measures In the Third World, focusing on the case of Bangladesh.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
An examination of the population problems that Bangladesh experiences not only reveals that they are deeply rooted, but also that a number of important obstacles stand in the way of achieving a meaningful and lasting solution. More importantly, some of these obstacles relate to fundamental characteristics of the country itself which are slow to change, while others relate to Bangladesh's lowly status within the international heirarchy or the country's geographic characteristics. In total, this leads one to suggest that the country is just simply not capable of controlling its population problem on its own and, perhaps more importantly, that a substantial amount of assistance from First World countries is required if change is to be expected within this particular Third World country.

Each household is head by a nayak who appoints a guru or a preacher trained to protect the community members, whose disciples are referred to as chelas or students and traditionally amount to about five per guru. Before entering the community, the hijra has to live in satla (female attire) and observe the community for at least a year. "

Analysis And Concluding Thoughts
From the Paper
"Preliminary evidence suggests that there have been significant benefits to both women and children through the process of empowering their economic mobility. Analysis from Barbara Haley, in a study done by the Canadian International Development Agency in 2001, suggests that 58% of women clients at Grameen had in fact crossed the extreme poverty line, compared to 18% of non-members. Crossing the poverty line is defined as "annual income sufficient to provide each family member with a daily intake of 1,800 calories."35 Of the remaining 42% of clients who failed to cross the poverty line, 60% had experienced a serious illness in the family. Grameen loans prevented these families from coalescing into worse economic conditions, however they were not sufficient enough to cross the extreme poverty line.36"

It is an employer of more than 700 women in the capital of the nation, Dhaka, and is managed by Motawakkel Billah (Role of U.S, 2001). Harsh does not sufficiently describe the conditions that women must work under. The workers who sew not only New Era's hats but also those of nationally recognized Universities'; work typically 68.5 - 70.5 hour workweeks. This includes forced overtime in a hot, overcrowded and oppressive setting. They have to ask for permission to use the bathroom and talking is prohibited (Role of U.S). Not only are the workers forced to work in such an environment for extended hours but also they commonly get cheated for the proper pay. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the many advantages and disadvantages that individuals experience in arranged marriages. The paper shows that women's rights are violated in many instances of arranged marriages and very rarely is love a part of initial considerations. However, the paper also shows that there are instances where arranged marriages have worked. An interview with a young woman from Bangladesh gives the reader a first hand account and perspective of the benefits and disadvantages that the young individual must face upon entering the arranged marriage.
From the Paper
"If the girl meets all of the man?s expectations then the marriage is set up. During this process the young woman?s wishes are not regarded.

If the young lady is chosen to be a bride, then she must ?conform to the man?s pattern of living.?

"Introduction
Population Services International is a non-profit agency which distributes family planning information and products in Bangladesh. Although the organization has had considerable success with its distribution of condoms (marketed under the Raja brand name), its success with birth control pills has been markedly less successful. The contraceptive pills were initially well received, but market share has fallen to the point that after five years on the market, only slight gains have been realized. This research examines the key issues that Population Services International has faced from a marketing standpoint, and considers the next steps the company should take in order to be successful."

Abstract
This paper examines four third world women political leaders? biographies, and focuses on the processes of how they had come to power in their countries. The author points out that Mrs. ?iller stands as an exception among other three women leaders studied in this essay.
From the Paper
"Only few women could rise to position of political leadership in the world. In a cross-cultural comparison of political leaders, Jean Blonder (1987) concludes that most of the political leaders in the world are overwhelmingly male and only less than .005% of all political leaders are women (116-117). More female national leaders within this .005% of share have held office in less developed countries than more developed. This information about the women political leadership may seem to be little bit striking because, on the one hand, most women political leaders have held the office in less developed countries, where women status is considerably lower, on the other hand, only a few women leaders could hold the office in the modern societies, where the feminist movements originally emerged and women have higher status."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Pakistan came into being in 1947. The area was part of India until that time. It had been invaded by many Asian peoples through the centuries, with the Muslims arriving in waves from the early 1000s to the 1500s. The British took control over the whole subcontinent in the 1700s. The primarily Muslim areas of India gained independence in 1947 as Pakistan, which then was divided into two widely separated sections (the eastern section would become independent as Bangladesh in 1971). Fighting broke out almost immediately between Muslims and Hindus, and some 7 million Muslims fled from India to Pakistan, while about 6 million Hindus left Pakistan for India. Since 1947, there have been wars between India and Pakistan many times, with the most violent outbreaks being 1947-1948, 1965, and 1971. The war in..."
