Conclusion
From the Paper
"The advantages of producing Tango, a nutritious health fruit drink, to the manufacturer, is that the process can actually be more streamlined than a mechanical squeezing processing in terms of plant outfitting and can actually be produced in a relatively inexpensive manner. Contract production will allow favorable pricing of both ingredients and finished product. Sampling will allow for marketing controls and for targeting national and export markets. The product will meet the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), European Union, and other specific certification requirements, so may be exported. The Internet will be considered as a target for purchases, but will mainly be used for advertising the product. Mapco stores will be the exclusive client of this product, and will be the outlet to other organic health food agencies that may elect to sponsor sales of this product, as well. "

From the Paper
"Needless to say, precision agriculture may ultimately be the one thing standing between economic and social devastation and renewed hope for the future in many developing nations. Maohua reports that the Government of the People's Republic began aiming for precision agriculture shortly after Chairman Mao's death, and the results have been favorable. According to Maohua, the government's overarching aims are to develop a Chinese agricultural capacity able to feed 1.6 billion Chinese by the middle of the twenty-first century."

Adolescents and Healthy Food, 2007.
A review of the article "Factors of Fruit and Vegetable Intake by Race, Gender and Age Among Young Adolescents" by M.L. Granner, R.G. Sergant, K.S. Calderon, J.R. Hussey, A.E. Evans, and K.W. Watkins.

Abstract
This paper critically analyzes the article "Factors of Fruit and Vegetable Intake by Race, Gender and Age Among Young Adolescents" by Granner et. al. The paper explains that although a number of methodological aspects prove problematic, the paper is also confounded by equally serious conceptual errors. The paper looks at the apparent total absence of research hypotheses and notes that the absence of testimonial regarding the benefits of eating healthily also leaves a question mark over whether poor diet is a concern for researchers, or even a problem willing to be explored. The writer believes that the discussion section seems fairly brief for a research topic apparently so broad in scope, but notes that the one notable finding of the Granner et. al. experiment - a high correlation between self-efficacy and snack choice - may be explored in further detail in the future.
From the Paper
"The research measures, moreover, provide something of a quandary. The complicated and numerous variables lead to a much more intricate and confusing methodological tapestry than would seem necessary. Measures such as race, age, and gender, and their impact on the food attitudes of adolescents are certainly necessary. However, measures such as "normative beliefs", "outcome expectations" and "modeling" seem a little excessive. Instead, the experimenters conduct something of a dual study of both these dependent variables impacting age, ethnicity and gender, and these former measures again acting as independent variables to fruit and vegetable consumption. If the point of the present research is indeed to examine a relationship between adolescence and poor dietary habits, the variables should be similarly simple."

From the Paper
"The price is also very important, because some countries will pay much more for certain things than other countries will. It is important, therefore, to ensure that a country wants what is going to be sold and that it matters enough to it that it will pay a realistic price for the items. In other words, if the product is brought to a new country and marketed well but the price is too high for what the people in that country will pay, the product will not sell.This will happen regardless of how good the product is or how well the marketing is done, and has little to do with whether customers are satisfied with a product."

The Reality of Food Production and Agriculture, 2004.
Review of Thomas R. DeGregori?s book, "The Environment, Our Natural Resources, and Modern Technology", and the author's position about the negative effects of promoting only organic foods for consumption.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the belief expressed in "The Environment, Our Natural Resources, and Modern Technology" by the author, a professor of economics and food science, that supposedly positive assertions as ?buy organic?, in regards to changing consumer behavior, are quite questionable and have had dangerous worldwide implications. The paper cites the negative and dangerous consequences of such behavior listed in the book and explains DeGregori's reasoning and arguments for his position. Finally, the paper points out some of the weaknesses of DeGregori's book and points out that, while environmentalism as a movement has its excesses and moral sanctimony, this must be separated from the real and dangerous effects of modern commercial farming.
From the Paper
"Green is good. Buy organic. Down with genetically modified ?franken foods?! Such environmentalist assertions have the ring of modern truisms. Often, the impetus to recycling can have a moral drive to the way that the ideology is enforced upon every street corner, from the shrill wastebaskets that proclaim ?for cans and bottles only? to the supermarket aisles that scream ?no pesticides used.? The modern distaste for technology can be hypocritical as well as hysterical in its intensity at times. After all, such technological innovations as the CD transmit far better musical sound quality than the LP. (DeGregori, 2002, 152). And, more to the point, the modern revolution in food production and shipping has enabled modern individuals to have, at their fingertip?s access, enormous amounts of healthy produce, in and out of season, and to be able to eat high-protein, high-calcium foods at great convenience and relatively little cost."

Abstract
This paper explains that healthy child development features normal development in three areas of human development: physical, mental, and social. This paper discusses these three spheres in detail and the importance of each aspect in ensuring a well-balanced child.
From the Paper
"Physical growth is the most obvious change occurring in child development. This occurs in spurts between the ages of zero to around fifteen. As one source notes, "it has been recognized that the physical development occurs in which the stretching of the limbs is alternated with a filling-out in breadth" (Lievegoed 1997, p. 23). By the time the child reaches maturity, they have grown around eight times their original size. For these changes to be managed the child requires both energy and the right nutrients. This is dependant on the child's diet. Therefore, the first important part of healthy child development is a suitable diet."

From the Paper
"The research performed found that the automobile manufacturing industry, along with other industries, in the United States has steadily increased its reliance on the application of technology for five decades. Further, the correlation between technology investment and productivity improvement was found to be powerful. The first conclusion drawn from the findings of this study was that the application of technological innovation in industrial activities is an indispensable factor in the contemporary period. The second conclusion drawn from the findings of this study was that technological innovation does not necessarily need to be ?high-tech? in character to produce productivity gains, although the most dramatic gains in productivity in the contemporary period are associated with ?high-tech? innovations."

Abstract
The paper reviews the application of the law of marginal productivity in a strategic production decision by a company. The paper discusses the concept of diminishing returns and explores the new product development for the larger market.
From the Paper
"Strategic decision based on production and cost at wildwood harvest foods. The law of marginal productivity is based on the concept of diminishing marginal productivity, more typically referred to as the law of diminishing returns. The hypothesis underlying the law of diminishing returns is that if one factor of production is increased by small constant amounts while all other factor quantities are held constant then after some point the resulting increases in output become smaller and smaller."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The net result of my teams is that people in the company are able to work together in a proactive manner to optimize customer satisfaction. For example, the Fulfillment Team meets monthly and continuously refines not only computer systems, but also the physical systems and processes in the building. Their goal is clear and simple: to improve the level of customer service. They succeed in this to a large degree because the various departments are not isolated from each other; all staff are aware of the big picture, and of what they can do to facilitate our continuing success. I have found that the more the different departments communicate, the more everyone realizes that they can create more opportunities for our business, and increase our opportunities to sell. Thus, we all work together to take a pro-active approach to the customer."

Abstract
This paper discusses father involvement in infant development. It describes the importance of father involvement in terms of the mother's ability to cope and need for support, as well as the benefits that it has on the infant. The paper analyzes studies that suggest that infants with closer father involvement, are more well-adjusted than infants who lack this relationship with their fathers.
From the Paper
"Stern advises parents to know the stages of infant development so that they can anticipate the challenges and joys of its growth (Gould, 2006). When the mother requires more than a support network or when difficulties arise between parent and the infant on the latter's temperament, interventions from qualified infant mental health practitioners may be necessary. Both parents should be emotionally prepared during pregnancy so as to prevent emotional difficulties and problems from forming when the baby is born. The birth of a new baby should always be a happy event but this is not always the case. Some families face severe stressors like financial distress, young or unwanted pregnancies, traumatic abuse or some other conditions. Resorting to active intervention will not only provide the support and insight needed but also open up unseen possibilities in a new light (Gould)."

Childhood Emotional Development, 2008.
An examination of childhood emotional development and how the social environment plays an important role in emotional development.
2,046 words (approx. 8.2 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 64.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines traditional schools of thought on childhood emotional development, recent research and probable future directions. The paper explains that one of the most important motivators for positive emotional childhood development is the social environment. The paper then points out that children who enjoy healthy positive social relationships tend to develop more proficiently on an academic and sporting scale; they are also more likely to have greater self-esteem and self-worth than those who endure relationship problems. The paper also looks at how the personality of adolescents is a very important part of childhood emotional development. The paper suggests that the development of children in modern times has been associated with sweeping global changes, perhaps most notably the Internet.
Outline:
Introduction
Vygotsky
Freud
Erikson

The Social Environment: An Important Part of Emotional Development
Older Children and Adolescence
Current Childhood Development Concerns
Conclusion
From the Paper
"It is for this reason that children are taught at school from an early age the importance of practicing good social skills and engaging in pro-social behaviors. The importance of a positive social environment for children has been recognized by research which suggests that social development problems cause greater problems over time, leading to adult mental health problems (ibid, p. 98). However, approaches to implementing social skills in children have varied over the decades. Thinking in the 1970s revolved primarily around three schools of thought. The psychoanalytical school of thought maintained that through interpretation of unconscious thoughts, children develop a latent awareness related to appropriate social behaviors. The humanistic approach suggested that children benefit most from empathy and accepting environmental conditions, and that these preconditions were sufficient for future emotional development. The third approach, the behavior modification approach, proposed that appropriate behaviors be treated with reinforcement, increasing the chance that healthy behaviors would appear as the child developed (ibid)."

Abstract
This paper examines different models of child development, including Bronfenbrenner's five key principles for raising healthy children and Freud's eight stages of development into adulthood. The author of the paper interjects personal experiences from his childhood, which reinforce the idea that a healthy, cohesive family unit is a vital part of raising children who grow into well-adjusted adults.
From the Paper
"What makes a family functional and productive versus dysfunctional and psychologically disruptive? Researchers in the fields of life span and family development have found a number of factors that can enhance the stability of the family and, therefore the secure and sound upbringing of the children. When some of these factors are missing or not handled correctly, the youth can develop low self-esteem. This can lead to a wide range of personal and social problems. I am a 27-year-old male with an 18-year-old brother. Despite the fact that there was a great deal of time between our births, our parents provided us with a strong, healthy and loving childhood by providing the support needed to personally succeed."

Labeling Genetically Engineered Food, 2002.
An examination of the controversy surrounding the labelling of food products which have been genetically engineered.
2,050 words (approx. 8.2 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 64.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues for the rights of consumers to know which food products they purchase have been genetically engineered. The writer first explains this concept and examines the potential health hazards that people are afraid of when buying such foods. It also looks at opinion of the food producer who is against such labeling due to unbiased fears amongst the consumer population. The paper also addresses the benefits of bio-engineering in certain fields which helps the production process of many food-groups.
From the Paper
"In the twenty-first century, with all the pressing issues at hand, there is bound to be controversy and disagreement. There are many important issues, which face the world today, issues like abortion, the death penalty, gun control, censorship, women in combat and even genetically engineered food. With all the modern scientific advances we are making now, especially in the United States there are positive effects as well as negative effects. Genetically engineered foods are very controversial because there are just as many experts who say they are safe as there are experts who say they are unsafe. In the United States about two thirds of all produce on supermarket shelves is genetically engineered; now the problem we, as a nation, face is awareness. Our most relevant issue is whether it should be required to label these unnatural, possibly unsafe foods. And, the answer is yes; the public has a right to know what they are eating and choose whether they want to eat genetically engineered foods, mainly produce."
