Abstract
The paper looks at the history of Japan after WWI. The events described are the conquering and occupation of Manchuria in China, the Panay Incident, the actions taken by the US towards Japan and the actions taken by Japan after WWI. The paper also looks at the Japanese government's instability during that period. The paper concludes that the actions taken by the Japanese in World War II were a direct result of the relationship that had developed between the United States and Japan between World War I and World War II.
From the Paper
"The period between World War I and World War II was a tumultuous time for the world. From the focus of most of the civilized world, the majority of the trouble was arising from Europe. There were two countries that were threatening the free world with their oppressive ideals, and hand banded together for their mutual benefit. With Hitler heading the Nazis in Germany, and Mussolini heading the Fascists in Italy, the future of Europe was hanging in the balance. These dilemmas, however, were not the only ones the world would have to deal with. In the Pacific, an alien and seemingly remote country, that until just under a century ago had been totally un-industrialized, was threatening its neighboring Asian countries. Using their powers of adaptation and an indomitable spirit, they had forced themselves into being one of the most powerful nations in the world. The Japanese had seen what the world had to offer, and had immersed themselves into becoming a force in the world instead of becoming a province of another world power. The nation they would become, in accordance to their method of borrowing outside concepts and re-conceiving them with a distinct Japanese identity attached, was heavily dependent on the interactions that they would experience with other nations. The actions taken by the Japanese in World War II were a direct result of the relationship that had developed between the United States and Japan between World War I and World War II. The major events the shaped this relationship were the incidents occurring in China, instabilities within the Japanese government, and the actions taken by the United States towards Japan."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although political and economic systems of the United States and Japan are very similar now, until the end of the Second World War, they were very different especially because of Japan's isolation as a nation over two millennium. The author points out that both economic systems are market-economies, which are moving into the Information Age, display adaptability and are trending towards deregulation. The paper relates that four political parties compete for seats in Japans Parliament just as American political parties compete for seats in Congress; however, unlike in the United States, Japan's prime minister is elected by majority vote in the Parliament's House of Representatives and House of Councilors.
From the Paper
"Japan's form of constitutional democracy has been described as a constitutional monarchy, but the emperor has no real power and essentially serves as a ceremonial head of state. Governing power is in the hands of the Prime Minister and Parliament in Tokyo. This parliamentary system in Japan differs from the federal government system in the United States, which features a presidential system comprised of three equal branches of government: an executive branch headed by the chief executive, a bicameral legislative branch, and a judicial branch."
"
"Both economic systems are market-economies, are moving into the Information Age, and have experienced recent downturns in their economies. But both have displayed adaptability and trends towards deregulation, and these elements, along with the strong cultural work ethic in Japanese and American employees, bode well for the future economic prosperity of Japan and the United States."

Abstract
This paper begins by examining the broad issue of trade that affects the United States and Japan today. The paper then takes a look at the cultural and historical factors that have led to Japanese dominance in business. Finally, the paper considers how the Japanese gains in automobile market share have affected the United States and the world economy, as well as the problems and the opportunities facing business in an international setting given these circumstances.
From the Paper
"The United States and Japan have an interesting relationship. It was not so long ago that Japan was the sworn enemy of the United States, intent on the downfall of the United States. It was Japan that destroyed Pearl Harbor, dragging the United States into World War II. The fighting in Europe was intense, but fighting in the Pacific was more arduous, filled with more danger, against an enemy whose cruelty seemed to know no bounds. Stories of the war that fill high school history textbooks include the Japanese basically going on suicide, or Kamikaze missions to destroy U.S. naval power. The books tell a story of soldiers who buried POW's in the sand up to their necks, propped the POW's mouths open with sticks, and allowed local ants and other insects to feed on the soft tissue of the POW's mouths and throats. In response to this threat, the United States dropped nuclear weapons on two of Japan's cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was after the Japanese surrender that the relationship between the two countries became really interesting."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the articles, "Racial Formations", by Michael Omi and Howard Winant, and "The Ethics of Living Jim Crow", by Richard Wright. The paper looks at the way one article specifically defines the term "race" and how the other article illustrates the concept of "race" because it relates the actual experiences of the author who is a member of the African-American race. The paper also points out how the articles' authors address the importance of embracing one's racial identity. Furthermore, throughout the paper, aspects where each article echoes the other are highlighted.
From the Paper
"These two pieces relate quite distinctly to one another, and Richard Wright seems to be often echoing the same message as Omi and Winant are writing about. Omi and Winant attempt to define just what "race" is, and mention repeatedly that race, and how it is defined, has "varied tremendously over time and between different societies" (Omi and Winant 13). Wright discusses his own personal experiences, and they quite remarkably echo just what Omi and Winant wrote about so academically. Wright does not have to define race, his entire story is about race, and the constant differences blacks faced in a white society. As he notes early in his account, "It was all right to throw cinders. The greatest harm a cinder could do was leave a bruise. But broken bottles were dangerous; they left you cut, bleeding, and helpless" (Wright 21)."

Abstract
This paper deals with the rise of industrial America in the last half of the nineteenth century. The author discusses factors that contributed to the growth of industry, philosophical ideals the dominated the actions of the industrialists of the era, and the individuals who were responsible for organizing the booming industries.
From the Paper
"The Industrial Revolution is one of the few events in American history that has completely revolutionized the very fundamentals of itself and so greatly changed the way American people live and function. Almost overnight, America became a much more complicated nation. It was essentially transformed from a primarily agrarian society to the world's foremost industrial empire in less than a half-century. The rise of industrialization in America can be roughly attributed to specific people, inventions, and new philosophies. The rapid changes of industrialization had both positive and negative connotations for the geopolitical environment of the world and for the people of America."

Abstract
A strong work ethic is vital to the success of any firm. In recent years, there have been many comparisons made between the work ethics of American and Japanese employees. This paper compares and contrasts Japan's management theories and work ethics with those of the United States. The paper presents differences relating to changes in technology, as well as interpersonal relations.
From the Paper
"Additionally, managers fail to cater to the needs of workers and have the tendency to make employees feel that they can easily be replaced. This managerial theory is much different than the one that is practiced in Japan in which managers take special interests in the personal lives of workers. When American managers fail to view their employees as people with lives outside of the workplace they have a difficult time creating a job environment that is conducive with high levels of productivity."

Abstract
The paper reviews a speech given by Aso Taro, the Japanese foreign minister, on December 7, 2005, the 64th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The paper reviews the three concepts Taro used to define Japan and affirms each concept's truth. The writer states that the Japanese and American economies are highly interdependent. In conclusion, the writer feels that Japan and the United States form one, combined superpower.
From the Paper
"Japan has come a long way and is in a very controlling position in the Asian community with democracy. Anything that Japan does reflects on the United States because they are both democracies. It seems as if Japan will continue to be an ally of the United States for years to come. It is very important to remain allies with Japan as well because of Japan's influence on the other side of the globe. The relationship between Japan and the United States is affected every day by simple actions that are completed. Aso Taro's speech only strengthened the bond between the two countries and continuing peace."

"The United States was once under British rule and in fact the American Revolution was fought for the purpose of removing the U.S. Colonies from the rule of the British. The American Revolution was fought and independence was won establishing America as an independent and separate nation from Great Britain but only after a grueling war. Great Britain was determined to keep the Colonies under British rule and after an attack on Charleston and lives having been lost the colonists stated their intentions in a document entitled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessities to Take up Arms" and the action to break away from what most considered to be their mother country began. It has been stated in history that most of the colonists identified with the British and that many of the colonists considered themselves to be Britons."

Abstract
There are about between 700,000 and 3,000,000 homeless Americans, depending on the factors used to define ?homeless?. This paper examines the factors that contribute to homelessness and develops a road map for providing affordable housing as an alternative. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"Nevertheless, negative community reactions to the homeless continue to increase. Police in Seattle, Washington, actually bulldozed an encampment of homeless people thereby destroying their temporary homes and their few meager possessions. In Atlanta, Georgia, residents opposed building a homeless shelter (despite the fact that it was scheduled for an industrial area). Other cities have passed "quality of life" types of laws that impose restrictions on activities such as panhandling, camping, and sleeping on sidewalks. Further, police in many communities across the country are increasingly concentrating on enforcing these laws on the homeless, even though there are an estimated 500,000 more homeless people than there are beds in shelters on any given night (Forte, 1997, p. 151)."

The United States: A Terrorist State, 2005.
This paper agrees with linguist Noam Chomsky's description of the United States government as a terrorist state.

Abstract
This paper explains that, according to linguist Noam Chomsky, the government of the United States is a terrorist state because it participates in activities that (1) involve violent acts or endanger human life, which is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or of any State and (2) appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion or to affect the conduct of a government by assassination or kidnapping. The author uses examples such as World War I, Vietnam, Indonesia, the U.S. involvement in Central America and Turkey receiving 80 percent of its arms from the U.S. to launch its counterinsurgency campaign. The paper relates that Chomsky uses his linguistic skills to indict the United States government for its use of constructed ideals to create the appearance of correctness for the crimes committed against humanity.
From the Paper
"Chomsky voices his surprise that the September 11 events had a rather abrasive effect on the American people. Indeed, there is a tendency towards more critical consideration of issues that were previously accepted without question. These include the U.S. role in the Middle East and local issues relating to human rights and freedoms. The press of course is attempting to suppress this upsurge of protest by denying it. Chomsky however cites a variety of examples of demands for talks, the engagement of audiences and the sale of books promoting the idea that the government is engaging in terrorist activities that should be addressed if indeed the American way of life is to be preserved."
