Beyond the Nuclear Family
Conclusion
From the Paper
"There is little doubt that the nature, shape and form of the modern family has changed and is still changing in new and radical ways. The family has in the last few hundred years changed from the traditional and extended structure to the nuclear family unit and into various permutations and variations in the postmodern world."
"There are also many theorists and researchers who have already announced the end or demise of the family as a relevant structure in contemporary society. Others on the other hand assert that in the spite of compromises and experimentation, there has been resurgence among many cultures towards the maintenance of the family as a viable and essential part of the social and cultural matrix."

From the Paper
"There has been a long-standing debate on the issue of freedom of speech in the United States. While the Constitution of the country explicitly grants American citizens the right to share information and to speak freely without fear of prosecution through the First Amendment, still both the government and public are confused about the extent to which this legislation is valid and applicable. This is because freedom of speech and the very closely connected issue of copyright infringement have now entered a new realm i.e. the digital world and simply speaking this one domain knew no laws or rules when it first invaded our lives. We need to understand that Internet has on the one hand made access to information easier but on the other hand the same medium has been accused of encouraging copyright violation which has now turned into one of the most heatedly debated issues. Businesses and the general public is not aware of the extent to which they can use copyrighted material available on the Internet while the online companies are puzzled as to what actually constitutes infringement and to what extent can they provide access to such materials to their valued users. With major problems surfacing in this connection, online and digital businesses have been forced to exercise more caution when dealing with copyrighted material."

"Ronald Reagan administration has been criticized for its hostile attitude towards gay movement and cause. The administration was highly conservative and close-minded and is held largely responsible for generating homophobia in the country. The President himself refused to discuss the issue until 1987 when 20,000 people died in the US due to AIDS epidemic. In such a society, everyone who appeared different was ridiculed, attacked, harassed and hated. Jews, homosexuals, AIDS-infected patients, almost everyone who was not part of the mainstream culture and society is considered non-human. They are given an unfair treatment and the society mocks their beliefs and values. "

The fact that software can be illegally copied and distributed by a set of people who can actually crack the codes that protect this software is also dealt with. Those persons who manufacture or sell or copy and distribute these codes will be severely punished. However, in certain cases, like for example, when software has to be assessed or tested for the extent of security offered by the codes, or to conduct encryption research, cracking the code is legally allowed. Likewise, certain sets of people are allowed to circumvent copyright and anti-piracy laws. These people may be academicians, or be in charge of a free library, or run an educational institution.

Abstract

From the Paper
"Economically, more gradual changes have been coming about since the mid-1900s: "In the 18th century, Dubai was a small fishing and trading village inhabited by members of the Bani Yas." Essentially, life had remained relatively unaltered for these people for over two millennia; this began to change when the Al Maktaum family settled the area in 1833 and put a number of coastal towns under their control. Only two years later the Al Maktaum's signed the "Perpetual Maritime Truce" with the United Kingdom, and two decades later it became an official protectorate of the imperialistic nation. During this period trade expanded primarily through the export of pearls, and the city became inhabited by a majority of Indian tradesmen. International trade increased significantly when oil reserves were discovered in 1966 and concessions were made to foreign investors. In the 1970's and 80's, "Dubai and its twin across the Dubai creek, Deira (independent at that time), became important ports of call for Western manufacturers. Most of the new city's banking and financial centers were headquartered in this area." Gold also became an intrinsic part of the economy in Dubai, since the city has a free trade in gold and the commodity is restricted in India. Overall, since the arrival of the Al Maktaum's, Dubai has become a largely foreign settlement for traders of virtually all kinds; its unprecedented growth is clearly the result of an expanding international economy."
