Abstract
This paper presents an exploration of globalization and imperialism and argues that globalization is actually nothing more than imperialism with a different name. The writer uses several sources to illustrate the definition of imperialism and then holds it against globalization to prove they are one and the same.
From the Paper
"A new pedagogy will be in order if the progression of imperialist globalization is to stop. Imperialism is the act of obtaining power by taking over other areas. This may mean a true take over such as was seen recently in Iraq, or it can be more subtle by way of an economic takeover. An economic takeover is what the process of globalization is advocating with its spread of capitalism, led by technological wonder and awe. In the end however it is nothing more than a new way for some nations, primarily America, to gain control over other nations through the use of business clout and dependence."

There are several sections of individuals who state that dissatisfaction that people seem to have is that they are troubled with their daily life. But when analyzing we can realize that the actual dissatisfaction of individuals arises forms the modern life that they need and in comparison to that the others around the world lead. The term globalization is used to describe the various changes that have taken place in the social, economical and political scenarios that has brought about change in the current situation."

Abstract
This five page paper examines news media bias. The paper argues that in recent years, the news media in the United States has become biased and self-serving to such an extent that they can no longer be trusted to be fair and objective. The paper specifically mentions media bias with regards to the Bush administration, Abu Ghraib, and government incompetence in regard to the economy, deficits, and the war in Iraq.
From the Paper
"Our News Media: Reliable or Biased? In recent years, the news media in the United States has become biased and self-serving to such an extent that they can no longer be trusted to be fair and objective. The dearth of objective news coverage about pervasive Bush Administration deceit and corruption, Abu Ghraib and related torture scandals, and criminal government incompetence in regard to the economy, deficits, and the war in Iraq demonstrates that the news media can justifiably be accused of being a propaganda tool for the Republican Party and the corporate establishment. Since the early nineteen-nineties, the electronic news media has relentless promoted the Republican Party and the corporate establishment and denigrated their critics."

Abstract
The paper examines the most recent American elections and the relationship between the candidates and the media, specifically the Clinton and Dole election campaigns of 1996. The paper also discusses how the candidates were treated by the news media.
From the Paper
"Life on the campaign trail has often been likened to life inside a bubble with journalists trapped inside a mechanism that doesn?t let much contact with the outside world filter through. Long days and long weeks of living within the campaign environment, following the schedules each candidate has laid out, taking pictures only when you are told it is okay to do so; as one author puts it journalists are ?invariably sucked in by the campaign?s gravitational pull, ever struggling with the loss of perspective that threatens to portray campaign news with a refracting lens.? In this one perspective journalists have historically been too involved in the campaign, and too controlled by it. News media, most prolifically the television news media, have been forced to rely heavily on the campaign for a good portion of their information. When a campaign is run with media savvy, knowing the restraints and deadlines journalists face, it is that much easier to get your candidate?s ?message? on the air."

Abstract
This paper explains that, while the global media are not directly controlled by any single government, they are definitely controlled by business corporations and single individuals. For instance, Murdoch owns 50% of all media in the United Kingdom and is buying up a substantial share of the U.S. media business. This author points out that, while any form of monopoly is dangerous, monopoly over the global media is especially so because it means that a few individuals and corporations have the power to control public opinion and that the public does not receive a diverse perspective on global and national news. The paper relates that, although individual countries have laws limiting the power of individuals to control the media, the problem is now the globalization of the media, such as CNN, which influences huge numbers of people all over the world and is beyond any national law.
From the Paper
"The establishment of these ethical codes is an essential requirement for the development of a media that is fair and capable of carrying out its duty of reporting the truth without any interference. The code of ethics specifically mentions that journalists have to reject and fight any attempt at interferences or pressure to present news stories in an way that will influence public opinion. The duty of the media is just to report the news and keep people in touch with developments in their society and across the world and the code of ethics tries to ensure that this is exactly what the media will do. To a degree, the code of ethics has helped make sure that there is no direct control and ownership of the media by governments in the democratic Western countries but it has failed to protect the media against the control of corporations and individuals."

Abstract
The paper draws on the work of several thinkers, including Christopher Bayly and Robert Darnton, to present a picture of a world that was global and complex. The author argues that there are both differences and similarities between the world of 1776 and today.
From the Paper
"Robert Darnton, in the introduction to his presidential address to the American Historical Association of 1999, speaks of the role of the media and communication systems in the ? Old Regime ? of France, circa 1750. He argues that the way in which people tend to view the modern era ? as a unique ? information age ? does not give proper weight to the role of history, and in particular, to the ? history of communication (Darnton 207). ? He states : ? Standing here on the threshold of the year 2000, it appears that the road to the new millennium leads through Silicon Valley. We have entered the information age, and the future, it seems, will be determined by the media? I would like to dispute that view. Whatever its value as prophecy, it will not work for history, because it conveys a specious sense of a break with the past (ibid 207). ? Like Darnton, I believe that we should view history as a continuum rather than as a series of punctuated phases. I think that a view of the present which does not account for the past is problematic and those who would view their age in these terms are short-sighted. At the same time, however, there is also a certain danger in Darnton?s view, and it is that we may forget the uniqueness of our own era, for every era has its unique aspects."

"Free and uncensored news media are essential for a democratic society.

Thus, the media's role in American culture needs to be periodically evaluated. The purpose of this research is to examine the functions and power of the mass media in the United States and its impact on society.
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

Abstract
In this article the writer points out that imperialism has been a driving force in global economic and social development throughout much of history. A definition of imperialism is provided as acquiring nations by extending control over foreign entities. The writer notes that from ancient China, through Western Europe, and even today, the process of garnering control and using underutilized assets from lesser developed nations has shaped the world. The writer then discusses that as trade barriers dissolve, it becomes increasingly clear that imperialism has changed form from a singular nation-strategy, to a multi-national organization strategy as a globalizing force. The writer concludes that globalization, in a more socially responsible format, could lead to bona fide human liberation globally, making it the farthest thing from imperialism as possible and, therefore, perhaps the light at the end of the dark imperialistic tunnel.
Outline:
Introduction
Imperialism Under the Guise of Developing Underdeveloped Nations
Capitalism, Privatization and Modern Imperialism
Imperialism and Globalization
Conclusion

From the Paper
"Throughout history, societies have been subdivided into levels of development. The industrialized nations of Western Europe and North America, and currently more recently industrialized nations such as Japan, have been dubbed "First World" nations, while others such as many nations in Asia, Africa and Latin America, are categorized as "Third World" nations. This categorization occurs due to several factor include poverty levels, industrialization, and productivity of the nation. Historically, Imperialism is the process of seeing the underutilized riches in an underdeveloped nation, and then taking control of the nation in question, in order to benefit from their lack of ability to defend themselves. It is this historic exploitation that has often negatively affected the nation's current global standing."
