Abstract
An argumentative paper which discusses how the future of the environment cannot be left in the hands of the corporations, but how individuals need to take a stronger stand. It begins with describing the development of the "green" movement and proceeds in examining its role today. It looks at what the individual can do to advance this ideal.
From the paper:
"Through the years the society has become developed and keeps on developing concerns have arisen against the effect of industry and technology on the environment. With the depletion of the ozone layer due to chemical gases, the pollution of the land, seas, and the air with products that are made of material that is not biodegradable and the growth of the human population that causes urban sprawl, all have contributed to the degrading of the environment. In the midst of this havoc arose the concept of environment conservatism, which spread the notion of a ?green? environment that created products that were environment friendly."

Abstract
A look at why the Green Movement has failed in creating mass hype due to the limitations put forth by increasing conflict between humans and nature at a global level, the prevailing value of rationalization in society today, scientific uncertainty and the lack of a collective goal. The paper shows that the ramification of this is reflected in the inability of today?s society to change the existing attitudes and actions towards the natural world and its resources.
From the Paper
"The Green Movement is an ecological organization that aims to change both the current abusive ideas and actions of humans towards nature. In light of the green theory of value, which holds humans should be interconnected with nature, the Green movement views human agency as the ultimate force that will lead to transformation at respectively, the individual, collective, institutional and structural levels of society. Numerous supporters have called for increased participation through certain social classes, decentralization of resources (political, economical, educational and/or social), and through common sense based on a universal ideology. The Green Movement, however, fails to attract widespread participation by not only the masses, but large-scale institutions themselves, due to the limitations put forth by increasing conflict between humans and nature at a global level, the prevailing value of rationalization in society today, scientific uncertainty and the lack of a collective goal. The ramification of this is reflected in the inability of today?s society to change the existing attitudes and actions towards the natural world and its resources."

Abstract
This paper explains that transforming the concept of creating a green building, which interacts with the planet's ecosystem, into a coherent, rational and specific plan and constructing it is a challenge. The author points out that the conditions of a green building design process are low construction impact, resource efficiency through the life of the building, long lasting, nontoxic and aesthetically pleasing. The paper relates that choosing wood, especially large timbers, for a green home may seem odd; however, wood is the greenest of green building materials because it is a dense collection of cellulose that is strong, flexible, and eminently workable and is a renewable resource.
Table of Contents:
Introduction: A Wealthy Celebrity's Green Dream
The Location: The Inland Pacific Northwest
The Design: Materials and Structure
The Design: Peripheral Systems
Conclusions: The Green Home
From the Paper
"With the client's requirements in mind, the site considerations, and the aforementioned green building criteria, I have determined that the most appropriate building style for this site will be pole construction, in which large round timbers provide the skeletal support structure on which the roof and floors are hung. Pole construction has the benefit of being easily adaptable to most sites, including the steep site that the client owns. In addition, the simplicity of the construction method means that both material and labor costs are reduced dramatically, further limiting resource and energy depletion."

Abstract
The 1990s, in particular, was a time when environmentalists and nonenvironmentalists came to bitter loggerheads regarding the fate of the earth's natural resources. This paper shows how governments responded to pressure from both sides in a bid to appease the needs of both sides; the Greens demanded the protection of rare species and forests, and the corporations required resources to make a profit and provide employment and food for millions of people.
From the Paper
"Here it is the local Indian traditions of vegetarianism, and non-violence that work toward the tiger?s preservation as a species. The Vice-President of India?s statement underscores the need for local peoples to look toward their own traditions for answers to environmental and other questions. Problems are seen as being imposed from the outside, and thus, to be successful, the solutions must not be viewed in the same way. By appealing to traditional Hindu values, the current Indian government can counter the conflicting claims that some tigers turn man-eater, or that old and weak tigers decimate the small flocks and herds that are among the few possessions of impoverished peasants."

Robert Greene's ?Pandosto?, 2002.
This paper discusses the role of Robert Greene's ?Pandosto? in the development of prose fiction.
2,755 words (approx. 11.0 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 82.95

Abstract
This paper discusses that Greene's ?Pandosto?, which was popular during its time for its adherence to Elizabethan conventions from reliance on classical elements to euphuism, challenged the categorical limits of prose fiction by pushing toward a recognizable novel genre. The author feels that it is not itself a work of such innovation that it merits the title of the first English novel. This author, nevertheless, considers ?Pandosto? to be a transitional work in the history of prose development because it made and then broke its own laws by encompassing traditional forms in nontraditional combinations.
From the Paper
"Greene called "Pandosto" a love pamphlet, a categorization which suggests a discursive, even polemical, purpose for his romance, as well as a connection with the euphuistic style of Lyly, which we will examine later. Because the work reflects Greene's dissatisfaction with the romance form and thereby elude classification as a pure romance, Pandosto "may best be described as a romance anatomy" using Northrop Frye's designations. ... a romance is, in short, "the mythos of literature concerned primarily with an idealized world", while an anatomy is "a form of prose fiction . . . characterized by a great variety of subject matter and a strong interest in ideas". We can see the binary category of romance anatomy most clearly when we note Greene's coupling of such romantic characteristics as a happy ever after ending (true for everyone except Pandosto, that is) with the following issues in Pandosto, issues which allow Greene the opportunity for the depth of discussion that is so common in the anatomy: Pastoral contentment, conflict between male and female attitudes, the power of emotion over humans, forgiveness, repentance, and Fortune."

Abstract
This paper establishes the Jewish foundations for a claim to the Holy Land and the reasons their own nation was pursued. It traces the influential leaders who paved the way for the modern Zionist movement and describes the early leaders' successes and failures and their influence on the leaders who formed the World Zionist Organization. It also examines the steps leading up to the establishment of a Jewish homeland and the progress they made in settling and moving into this land.
From the Paper
"An early precursor to Zionistic thought was Rabbi Yehudah Alkalai. In 1834, he wrote a booklet entitled Shema Yisrael (Hear, O Israel), in which he proposed the creation of Jewish colonies in the Holy Land as necessary to the Redemption of the land. The Blood Accusation of 1840, in which the Jews of Damascus were accused of sacrificing gentiles and using the blood of the victims in the Passover, convinced Alkalai that for security and freedom the Jewish people needed a life of its own, within its ancestral home. He believed the Jews would be able to buy this land from the Turks, as Abraham had bought the land from Ephram. To fulfill this goal, Alkalai proposed the formation a ?Great Assembly? to create a national fund to purchase the land."

Abstract

The paper further discusses how social, economic, or political conditions can no longer be tolerated by an oppressed group of people, social movements often arise, for such movements enable the participants to affect social change. These movements rarely achieve all of their goals because they always generate resistance, but they have often succeeded in attaining many of their goals.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that what is fundamentally striking about transnational social movements (TSMs) is the extent to which they are able to reach beyond the restrictive confines of the nation state. The writer points out that, due to the ever-increasing opportunities that are afforded by international travel and communication, such as email and the Internet, TSMs have a way of reaching new audiences, organizing them in new collectives and voicing common grievances in new ways. The writer also notes that members of TNMs may not be working class, but they do share the common perception of themselves as small people who are being overlooked by an increasingly powerful group of leaders that are calling the shots from places and spaces in which individual national politics may not exert sufficient influence. The writer concludes that even though theories of social movements might be seen as outdated because of the global context in which movements now operate, this should not gloss over the common features that TNMs do have with social movements before them and with the insights that social movement theories can provide.

Introduction
Objectives of Transnational Social Movements
Chief Characteristics of Transnational Social Movements
From Theories of Class to Post-Industrial Society
Conclusions
From the Paper
"Such protests were organized quite deliberately to coincide with and confront the agenda that was being put forward by intergovernmental conferences. Objecting to the global spread of the neo-liberal economic model, protestors were keen to take to task not only the governments of the leading industrialized nations, but also to criticize international organizations, such as the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, as well as multinational corporations, which, in the protestors' views, were setting out policies that could not be countered if objections remained local and national-specific.
"Even though the nature of this movement is contested, it would still be possible to note the chief concerns of protestors as being objection to the globalization of a neo-liberal, monetarist economic philosophy. The strength of the protests against this doctrine are related to what its critics in the anti-capitalist movement see as the extreme negativity of its effects."

From the Paper
"One of the first goals of establishing a supplier's sustainability relationship management program is to develop a sense of purpose for the organization. The organization itself must be living up to a certain code of conduct with regard to environmental goals in order to utilize supplier's commitments as a key in such a goal. In other words the company must determine what about "green" production is important to them in order to determine what is important to them in a supplier. Once this has been determined then the company must succinctly express such details in suppler communications and research. Some companies have taken to asking suppliers to agree to a set of standards. "

"After the Civil War, the 13th Amendment to the Constitution was passed in 1865. The 13th Amendment outlawed slavery. In 1868, the 14th Amendment was passed. This amendment made anyone born in the United States a naturalized citizen and afforded them equal protection under the law. The amendment however although providing equal protection to all citizens, created what is known as the separate by equal doctrine or better known as segregation. In 1870, the 15th Amendment was passed which provided voting rights to all citizens regardless of race. But with the passing of this amendment it, it did not remove literacy tests to qualify voters. This test was particularly used to eliminate black voters. "

"The 1960s were a time of social upheaval in American history, a time of protest against established institutions. Several groups perpetuated this upheaval with organized movements. The most widely known and supported were the blacks, women and students. Certainly, the organized movements represented a larger protest of certain sections of society against society's standards and established institutions, though each of the groups manifested this protest with reference to different issues.
