Abstract
This paper answers three questions regarding the operation of a specific development program operating in developing nations. The website evaluated for the answers to these three questions was Srihaswani's 'Manual Skills for Self Reliance', found at http://www.srihaswani.com. The questions examined the goals of the organization and the role that gender plays.
From the Paper
"This development group, Srihaswani, works in Southeast Asia in villages of mixed religious and ethnic backgrounds. It refers to itself as a creative manual skills for self-reliant development program. The primary development objectives of this group are to create self-sufficient, parallel, and local economies that are built on the creative manual labor of the local community. This is an important distinction. Firstly, it means that the organization strives to encourage the development of traditional skills that improve the quality of life of the community through creativity and through direct interaction. Secondly, the organization is distinct because their primary development objective isn't to increase the ability of the community to interact at the national or global level."

Abstract
For fifty years international organizations have focused on accelerating development in the lesser-developed countries. Two of these organizations, the World Bank and the United Nations Development Program recently released comprehensive overviews of their programs and prospects for development. These reports illustrate the UNDP's emphasis on socio-cultural factors and the World Bank's focus on economic issues. These are two distinctly different interpretations of development.

It is through the leaders that visions become plans with a path to follow down the road to success. In light of this, the leadership within any company becomes vital to driving that company?s success and investment in their growth and development becomes a requirement, not an optional expense. My employer, Kohler Company, is just beginning to renew its focus on succession planning and leadership development at this time particularly within the Supply Chain. Within the Supply Chain is our customer service Answer Center that focuses on installing new plumbing products, troubleshooting existing plumbing products, and offering presale information."

OD and Privatization Programs in the Third World, 2005.
A research paper, which looks at the success of organizational development strategies in developing countries.

Abstract
Considering the failure of many developing countries to conduct successful market liberalization and privatization programs that would integrate them into the global market economy and global financial systems, this paper asks how organizational development strategies could prove useful and increase opportunities for success. Beginning with the argument that privatization was a revolutionary transition, requiring the implementation of radical changes at all of the organization, group, and individual levels, based upon diagnosis of problems and definition of change forms and procedures, the research argues that success was contingent upon the translation of organizational development theory into practice and that failure was the logical outcome of overlooking this. The paper includes a table.
From the Paper
"Conversely, private sector organizations, while having a downward flow of command hierarchy, does encourage employee feedback, further deploying motivation strategies designed to positively impact both input and output. Employees know that the harder they work, the better quality goods they produce and the more innovative they are, will positively influence the organization's financial standing and that they, themselves, will be individually rewarded for their efforts. Data revealed that such a reward system is absent in the public sector. Therefore, the attitudes of these organizations are different, the one giving rise to a work force that is almost entirely distanced from the organization and the other to a workforce that does feel an affinity, loyalty and identification with the organization."

From the Paper
"History as a record of events and dates can be a dull affair because it does not necessarily capture the dynamics of personal or even state actions as they were experienced by the people involved. Yet people are what make history and what made up the culture or cultures in which events and actions unfolded. Professional historians, if they are skilled enough, can make an account of an era or a significant set of events lively, but the life's blood of a culture a people a person or ... "

From the Paper
?The United Nations (UN) was created in 1945 at the end of World War II when the global world realized that the internal and external struggles that the nations had needed a mediator through which the problems could be solved in a neutral manner without the threat of war. The destruction the world face in lieu of the World War II was something that none were willing to face again. They had seen first hand the devastation and the violation of human rights that were created when the nations warred. Thus, a peacekeeping body was formed for the international community in the form of the UN.?

Abstract
The paper reveals that high quality preschool programs for poor children can reduce the delay in the development of their communication skills. The paper reviews the article "Language and Literacy Environments in Preschools" by Snow, Burns and Griffin that explores how best to help preschool children develop communication skills so that they will be ready to learn how to read when they go to school. The writer discusses how he/she applies these principles in his/her preschool program.
From the Paper
"The article (Snow, Burns, & Griffin, 1999) states, "it is precisely on measures of the language environment that many preschool programs serving poor children have scored in the inadequate range" (p. 1). The article doesn't say how many programs are inadequate or what the percentage overall might be of programs which do not help children develop their communication skills. The author goes on to say, or at least to imply, that Headstart programs are no better than any other programs for preschool children coming from impoverished homes: "A study of 32 headstart classrooms similarly found the lowest scores for language and reasoning on the same test" (p. 2)."

From the Paper
"When people think of the United Nations they often consider only the peacekeeping missions and the sometimes controversial roles the UN has played in world politics. But the central role of the United Nations is not only peacekeeping. The central role of the United Nations is indeed the promotion of peace and security but also development and human rights. The role of the UN in developing programs to better life for suffering peoples around the world was recognized ..."

The League of Nations and the United Nations, 2005.
This paper discusses the participation of the U.S. in the League of Nations and the United Nations as an element of the American national interest.
1,730 words (approx. 6.9 pages), 15 sources, APA, $ 55.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, although the U. S. failed to support the League of Nations, America supported the United Nations because the supreme national interest of America was to obtain a world atmosphere in which the United States could grow its inner social values devoid of undue commotion or danger from the outside. The author points out that collective action via the United Nations instead of unilateral action was considered politically viable on key political issues. The paper concludes that the League of Nations and the United Nations disappointed hopes the following the two world wars because, in no way, can they be an autonomous political power; at best, the U.N. is a mirror image of the opposing interest of autonomous states.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the United States of America the major disagreement on both the groundwork venture and the refined Covenant of the League of Nations had been on the base that the League would function as an intrusion with the sovereignty of America and with the Monroe principle, that it concerned desertion of the traditional American policy, which had not been in favor of entrapped coalitions, and that the government did not have the power, within its Constitution, to insert such an agreement . Independence has revealed to be just so much freedom of action on the behalf of countries as is coherent with their responsibility, within international law and principles, to authorize the application of uniform independence or freedom of action by their sister countries. The League agreement had assured all States in their application of this sovereignty free from coercion by other Countries, and he who desires more is actually in search of the authorization thoughtlessly to ignore these commitments -- to refuse, for instance, the fair rulings of a properly established tribunal -- which is the German perception of independence."

Abstract
This paper presents various explanations why the First World War began, what were its primary causes, and concentrates particularly on the significance of the rising imperialism during the 19th century, most especially among the European nations (Germany, Great Britain, and Austria- Hungary).
From the Paper
"The First World War was the first-ever war that had brought great destruction and required greater involvement of many countries, most especially the European nations. Evidence of the impending world war started during the early 19th century, wherein colonization and strengthening of military power is the most prevalent activity of all European nations at that time. The World War I was said to have many causes, although the most important and more popular cause discussed by historians today is that the First World War started because of the rising imperialism among competing European nations. The war had two competing groups, the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente. The Triple Alliance was composed of Germany, Austria- Hungary, and Italy, while the Triple Entente was made up of Great Britain, France, and Russia. These groups were not originally formed as a triad; rather, each nation became affiliated with each other before and during the course of the war. One of the earliest alliances that were formed (prior to the First World War) is the pact between Germany and Austria- Hungary against Russia in 1879, which is then called the Dual Alliance (Spartacus Educational 2002). The other alliances (that of the Triple Entente, in particular) were formed upon the declaration of the war. The other nations that participated in the war, like Japan and the US, only participated when the war is already escalating. Prior to the First World War, there is already tension between these countries (comprising the Triple Alliance and Entente) because of succeeding events (pre-1914 events) that became the primary reasons for the war to inevitably begin."

Youth Identity Crisis: A Problem of the Nation and World, 2002.
A paper written as a persuasive report to President Bush urging him to do something about the lack of identity in today's youth and offering solutions.

Abstract
The paper argues that with so many youths coming home to an empty house, TV, media, internet and video games have become the teachers and influencers of our nation's youth. This is a world-wide problem that must be addressed and to change the path of destruction that our youth is currently set on, action must be taken not only by parents, but also by schools, by communities and by our government. The paper encourages President Bush to take notice of the nation's youth and begin to help them find where their talents lie and what they might accomplish, before it is too late. The paper also lists possible solutions such as self-exploration teaching, local youth governments and the involvement of the local community.
From the Paper
"Communities can take part by allowing young people to meet and explore their ideas and backgrounds. Ethnic celebrations need to be commonplace in schools, where children have the most exposure to things that are different and unique. The voice of our nations youth must be heard, interpreted, understood but also counseled and assisted in the growth process. Simply ignoring the problem won?t fix it. By helping more young people to uncover their true proclivities and sense of self, we may reduce the incidence of violence that occurs from children who are searching for recognition, and a means to alleviate the pain and anger they feel at being either taunted, abused or ignored. We must learn that in self identity and discovery comes respect and success. By respecting themselves, the nations youths will grow into productive and reputable citizens, and will likely impact great change on the world of tomorrow. Statistics show crime and injustice will only increase if action is not taken today to help all of the young people, not just in our nation but hopefully in the world."

From the Paper
Inis L. Claude stated that 'One World' is in some respects an idea land an aspiration born of modern interpretations of ancient moral thoughts and of rational estimates of the requirements for human survival. Both the League of Nations and its successor the United Nations were created as international organizations with a vested interest in maintaining the peace, preventing war, creating a mechanism or set of mechanisms for international cooperation and diplomacy and otherwise serving as trustees of ...
