Abstract
The paper uses research to analyze the different ways in which environmental policy-making in the EU has been influenced by domestic factors in the member states. The writer finds that public awareness in the 1970s and the success of the Greens in some countries affected the EU. The paper cites case studies of Germany, Denmark, the UK and Spain.
From the Paper
"The European Union as known today originated from the need of West European countries for a regional arrangement to facilitate their economic development. The European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), the European Economic Community (EEC) and the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) created by the founding Treaties of the European Communities were created as functional agencies only in charge of the coordination of national, economic strategies in designated sectors, whether they will lead to a supranational body or not. The Treaty of Rome in 1957 did not include any articles that made specific reference to the creation of an environmental policy, which originally was thought to be potentially detrimental to the economic development."

Abstract
This paper discusses the influence of genetic and environmental factors on the development of alcoholism. The paper discusses the existence of genes in individuals that appear to make them more susceptible to alcoholism. It then looks at social-cognitive factors and their influence on alcoholism. The paper then describes family, twin and adoption studies and draws conclusions.
From the Paper
"Indirectly, it is also believed that a gene that causes a disposition to depression and mood-related disorders can be transferred from a parent to a child (Westen et al., 2006). A child who inherits a vulnerability to emotional disorders may, as a result, turn to alcohol for comfort, increasing their chances of developing alcoholism."
"Twin studies have shown that in both males and females, genetic factors appear to play a role in the development of alcoholism (Miles, Silberg, Pickens, & Eaves, 2005; Prescott & Kendler, 1999). Evidence has also shown that children whose biological parents are alcoholic may respond differently physiologically to alcohol than children of non-alcoholics (Gordis, 1996, as cited in Westen et al., 2006, p. 615).
Further to this, family history studies indicate that children of alcoholics are four times as likely to become alcoholics than children of non-alcoholics (Peele, 1986, as cited in Westen et al., 2006, p. 614). However, the heredity argument for alcohol does not account for why some children of alcoholics do not become alcoholic themselves."

Abstract
This paper delves into the close relationship between the U.S. and Japan, while discussing the mutual advantages of increased economic trade and strategic military alliances in response to a growing threat from North Korea. The writer of this paper analyzes how particular environmental factors, such as social background, political systems, regulatory requirements, educational levels and religions have influenced the economic development of both nations. This paper compares the differences and similarities between the U.S. and Japan on a variety of topics, including religion and literacy. The U.S. is at a slight disadvantage compared to Japan in terms of literacy rates, 97% of the population over the age of 15 years is literate, compared to 99% in Japan. According to the World Bank, however, the U.S. scored slightly ahead of Japan in terms of overall educational opportunities. This paper also presents various graphs and tables, illustrating the scores and economic placements of both the U.S. and Japan, as cited in the World Bank's Knowledge Economy Index.

From the Paper
"Companies that compete within a regulated environment are subject to legal and economic constraints that are not faced by firms in unregulated environments; consequently, such companies are exposed to high levels of determinism which can severely limit the strategic choices available. According to Carlile and Tilton, there is a significant challenge involved in understanding the Japanese regulatory environment for those whose primary frame of reference is the regulatory environment found in Western countries. The fiscal situation that emerged was even worse than that which had induced the 1980s administrative reform movement, and Japan's debt level quickly soared to the highest level among the leading advanced industrialized countries. With the official discount rate eventually dropping to 0.5 percent, further lowering of interest rates was not an option."

Abstract
The paper compares how Ronald Wright in "A Short History of Progress" and Jared Diamond in "Guns, Germs and Steel" approach the issue of human civilization and its interaction with the environment. The paper argues that while both authors place a heavy emphasis upon environmental factors in determining the history of human civilization, Diamond's consideration of cultural factors in addition to purely environmental factors renders his analysis the more valid of the two.
From the Paper
"Both Wright and Diamond, in their respective texts, attempt to address the question of why the history of human civilization has unfolded in the manner that it has, and what has been the role of the environment in this process. Wright's perspective on this question is to challenge the emphasis many scholars place on technology in explaining why some human societies succeeded in dominating others. He argues that we "should be wary of technological determinism" (Wright 47) and that human civilization "differing in detail but alike in essentials, had evolved independently on both sides of the earth" (Wright 51). There is an old saying that the "devil is in the details" and this certainly applies to Wright's argument here for it was precisely these differences in "details" that explain why European states were able to conquer their non-European counterparts in a remarkably short span of time."

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses PepsiCo and its regional and worldwide operations with a concentration on marketing strategies and implementation thereof. Careful consideration is made of environmental factors and trends as well as the impact of competition on its marketing initiatives. The final result is an analysis of environmental factors affecting PepsiCo's marketing strategies including technology and ethical dimensions.
From the Paper
"PepsiCo is popularly associated with its flagship product Pepsi Cola and regularly conducts domestic and international marketing to support its sales of this and other products. While Pepsi Cola is a sizable portion of PepsiCo's revenue stream, PepsiCo actually has significant revenue generated from a slew of other products and divisions such as PepsiCo Beverages North America, PepsiCo International, Frito-Lay and Quaker Foods North America. PepsiCo's Pepsi Cola has long been second in market share to Coca-Cola and the competition between Pepsi and Coke has been the stuff of business school legend for many years. However, thanks to a series of strategic acquisitions and market entry moves internationally, PepsiCo, as a company, has finally overtaken Coke in overall market share and performance: "PEPSICO...has raced ahead of...Coke in overall growth rates."

Abstract
This essay reviews a text by Arat-Koc that explains changes in Canadian society towards female participation in the workforce, (as well as inadequate arrangements for child care, and how this has produced reliance on foreign domestic employees in the homes of those who are able to afford them. Arat-Koc estimates that the demand for domestic workers, often from Third World countries, will increase, and without careful examination of the conditions under which these women work or scrutiny of the implications of the temporary work visas under which they are admitted to Canada. Foreign workers continue to fill the gaps in the Canadian domestic sphere although there is need for clarification of their safety, working in relative isolation as they do, within private homes, and the likelihood of exploitation.)

Abstract
This paper shows, without discounting the force of global and European structure and mechanisms, how each member state?s position in environmental policy-making in the EU level is determined by its own national interests that are derived from its own domestic characteristics and conditions. It looks at how public opinion, economic structure, geographical conditions and political construction, all shape the state?s case-by-case position in the EU. It shows how ideally member states would rather have its own regulation adopted as the EU-wide legislation as that will entail no adjustment costs on its part. It also examines in the environmental sector how the need to maintain competitiveness, to regain internal market access, or simply to ensure the success of a quality-of-living protection programme drives member states even further in its effort to influence the resulting EU legislation.
From the Paper
"The European Union as known today originated from the need of West European countries for a regional arrangement to facilitate their economic development. The European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), the European Economic Community (EEC) and the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) created by the founding Treaties of the European Communities were created as functional agencies only in charge of the coordination of national, economic strategies in designated sectors, whether they will lead to a supranational body or not.

Abstract
This paper points out that economics and environmental factors have been inextricably intertwined since economics developed into a distinct area of specialization. In fact while many consider the field of economics to be uniquely confined to monetary systems, other experts and analysts alike have for the last 150 years recognized that economic forces are dependent upon environmental factors such as the development of natural resources.

Discussion
From the Paper
"Within days of taking office the first time, William Jefferson Clinton initiated his 'governing by memoranda' activities. This article begins with his immediate overturning of the Bush I gag rule concerning abortion, and then went on rapidly to other birth-control issues, gays in the military and more. Because of these rapid and far-reaching actions, the concepts of policy tools has become one open to more scrutiny than before Clinton began his series of 25 presidential memoranda and 18 executive orders that "implemented the administration's reinventing government initiatives." Among the important memoranda this article analyzes was Executive Order 12898, the purpose of which "was to 'focus Federal attention on the environmental and human health conditions in minority communities and low-income communities with the goal of achieving environmental justice'." The memorandum, however, "specifically involved" civil rights laws already on the books and required to be used by federal agencies in, arguably, all the agencies' endeavors."
