Abstract
This paper discusses the key economic issues that are facing the city of Toronto. It examines municipal spending and the city's sources of income. The paper suggests that something substantial must be done to cut down on municipal spending - preferably by improving efficiency and accountability guidelines. The paper concludes by providing some practical recommendations to the Mayor.
From the Paper
"The most important recommendation of all, however, is tied to helping the poor help themselves. This process will cut down on the need for heavy public subsidies of poor individuals insofar as men and women who are taught new skills can pursue new job opportunities in the marketplace. Additionally, money put towards job re-training programs should gradually replace social welfare outlays - not least of all because this is a more productive use of public funds and will cut down on expenses in the future. In pursuit of this educational objective, it is suggested that social welfare recipients in Toronto must indicate that they are taking educational courses for job re-training if they are to be eligible for certain types of public assistance. If we could do only one thing, job re-training would be the most important thing."

Abstract
Saint Augustine presented the idea that faith and understanding (in the broad and narrow senses) go hand in hand. Because of this, his teachings were that to understand life, one must have faith, and to have faith, one must pursue an understanding of life. Augustine has proved to be one of the most influential thinkers in European and western history. While still a teenager, Augustine converted, became a priest, then the leader of the Church in North Africa, and, before he became Bishop and his writing career was virtually choked off, Augustine was a prolific producer of scriptural scholarly works. The "City of God", which was written between the years 413 and 426, was Augustine's response to the criticism leveled at Christianity by the pagans after they had sacked Rome in 410. This work represents Augustine's most significant contribution to Western religious thought and, like many personalized texts, takes on the Aristotelian method of posing questions to the self in an argumentative fashion and systematically refuting and explaining away each.

Abstract
This paper illustrates the issues of large urban port cities as seen in Dublin and New York City. The paper provides an in-depth history of each city and compares the social issues of the urban environment, ethnic diversity, poverty and crime.
From the Paper
"New York City is generally considered the doorway to America. It is the largest city in the nation, seven million strong, and a main hub of financial activity. This is probably the most racially and ethnically diverse of the large American cities, the epitome of the melting pot. A third of the population is of African descent, fifteen percent are Jewish, twelve percent Hispanic. Other ethnic populations have a vocal presence, including the Irish, Italian, Chinese, Korean, Indian, and other Asians. If one city has represent urban America over the last 200 years, it would be the harbor city of New York, New York.
" Across the Atlantic ocean lies another city, a little farther from the ocean, though not much. It is the "fair city" of Dublin, that capitol of the Republic of Ireland. This is a fairly heterogeneous city, for it is the center of 4,000 year old struggle for cultural sanctity and independence. The vast majority of the citizens are Irish or British nationals, Christian and white. Most are Roman Catholic, and the largest "minority" are the British Protestants. One fourth of the citizens of Ireland, approximately 900,000 souls all told, now live in Dublin and its suburbs, and its name is becoming synonymous with Irish culture and tradition."

Abstract
This paper attempts to estimate what the real total economic cost of the Vietnam War was to the United States. The paper concludes that a reasonable estimate of the economic impact of the Vietnam War on the American economy is that an entire year's worth of productive activity was used to fight the war.
From the Paper
"The Vietnam War was the defining experience for a generation of Americans. Indeed, it is arguably one of the defining experiences of America as a whole in the Twentieth Century. Its impact on the men who fought there, the men (and women) who did not, the American military in general, American society and popular culture during and following the war has been well documented. However, it was not just a life changing experience for soldiers and protestors, or a force for social change, or even an inspiration for thousands of books and dozens of movies. War is not least an economic event. In addition to being a military defeat, a political blunder and a human tragedy, the Vietnam War was also an economic disaster."

" Thailand's Economic Crisis and the
"Triangle of Impossibility" Economic Model
Introduction
The "Triangle of Impossibility" economic model theorizes that it is dangerous, if not impossible for a small economy to maintain three desirable (politically) yet contradictory national goals. When it does, the end result is a macroeconomic crisis like the one currently going on in Thailand today (Na Thalang, 1997, 14). The three paths that Thailand is pursuing, suggests Na Thalang, are a fixed foreign exchange regime, free capital movement, and an independent monetary policy. After a brief economic snapshot of Thailand, these three divergent paths will be explored to determine if: A) the theory is valid, and B) if it.."

From the Paper
"The research will show that Denver's geographic location and its natural resources have been inextricably linked with population growth and decline trends over the years that have been grouped into three distinct periods. According to Denver - a booming city (2000), "Denver is a clean, young and green city with over 200 parks and dozens of tree-lined boulevards. The architecture reflects the city's three boom periods: Victorian, when silver was discovered in Leadville; turn-of-the-century, when gold was discovered in Cripple Creek; and contemporary, when the energy boom added 16 skyscrapers to the downtown skyline in a three year period.""
