Abstract
This paper discusses globalization and global labour patterns. The paper argues that in a globalized world corporations are determining the labour conditions in both developed and developing countries. It suggests that the corporations are essentially making cheap, unskilled and flexible labourers.
From the Paper
"Globalization and Global Labour Patterns Globalization is one of the most controversial issues in politics and economics. In "Note on Terminalogy" David McNally defines globalization as, "The mainstream term for the new world Economy of the past twenty years" (McNally 9). How exactly has the world economy changed? While discussing the political and economic changes that have occurred over the last three decades Teeple explains, A system of highly integrated world trade was an irreversible fact by the end of the 1970s, confirmed and hastened by the new means of transportation and communications, whose increased productivity were transforming the worldwide distribution of products and hence the global conditions for valorization (Teeple 71)."

Abstract
This paper looks at the Heckscher-Ohlin Model as an example of global trading patterns and seeks an explanation for why the Leontief paradox occured and why it is that Factor price equalization does not seem to have occurred. It contains references to relevant American trading data as well as two detailed tables of international economics data.
From the Paper
"International trade is a logical and natural advance in the affairs of man. If one has a good to barter with then an optimal level of indifference between different goods can be achieved. However there is much debate about whether trade is due entirely to a relative abundance of supply of a particular factor or are there other reasons. Ever since Eli Heckscher, based on a hunch, unveiled his ideas on international trade theory, in 1919 it has been held, by some, as a satisfactory explanation of International Trade, however, is it really that clear cut?

Globalization and the Welfare State, 2008.
A review of three academic articles about the impact of globalization on the European welfare state.

Abstract
This paper examines three articles, Mark Weisbrot's , "The Scorecard on Globalization, 1980-2000: Twenty Years of Diminished Progress", an International Monetary Fund article, "Globalization: Threat or Opportunity?" and Robert Estes' , "Trends in Social Development, 1970-1995: Development Prospects For a New Century," in order to determine how globalization has impacted the European welfare state. It then
attempts to determine why the social welfare state developed differently in Great Britain compared to other Western European states and why the different origins of social welfare states produced varied patterns of globalization policy development, and vice versa. In particular, it focuses on the impact of globalization on the fall of the social welfare state in Great Britain, for many economists have linked the growing inequality of income and wealth throughout Western Europe to globalization.
From the Paper
"Economic globalization is expanding and accelerating because capitalist institutions, ideology, and behaviors pervade much of the global economy. This translates into the dominance of capitalist market systems, market values, and market mechanisms. The reality of the world economy, however, is much more complex, and many people are increasingly frustrated by the negative economic aspects of globalization, for macroeconomic theory doesn't seem to affect them much, but a lost job because their company transfers its production facilities overseas because of cheaper labor does
affect them. "

Labour's Labor, 2006.
A review of an article discussing the impact and damage of WWII on the British economy.

Abstract
This paper discusses how following World War II, the British economy, its social structures, and its infrastructure, were all considerably damaged by the years of war over the European continent. Unions, as Dorfman points out, entered the post-World War II era as one of the nation's policy focal points in what would otherwise have been a political vacuum (par.1). It further discusses how in the decades following the war, Unions provided the citizenry, in the form of workers, with adequate representation within the structures of government and ensured that many policies and programs were enacted that would ensure not only work related rights and assurance but also social programs. The Unions within Britain for three decades held considerable sway over policy decisions as well as policy formulation.

Abstract
This paper defines globalization which refers to the new world economic and political order with its interdependence and interconnectedness. It explains that as a consequence of globalization the world is becoming a single entity. The author contends that this unity of all people should produce advantages that are equally distributed. It explains that a pattern can be noticed since globalization gained force during the 1980s, increasing economic integration has corresponded with increased global inequality.
From the Paper
"Globalization refers to the new world economic and political order with its interdependence and interconnectedness. As a consequence of globalization, the world is becoming a single entity. This unity of all people should produce advantages that are equally distributed. However, a pattern can be noticed since globalization gained force during the 1980s: increasing economic integration has corresponded with increased global inequality. "The growth of extreme poverty coincides with an explosion of wealth over the same period" (Nederveen, 2004, p. 61). Globalization benefits only about one-fifth of the global population; for the remainder of the world, and especially the developing countries, globalization causes hardship and restrictions. The outcomes of globalization follow the same pattern ..."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in China, increased foreign direct investment, the status as the world's factory, reduced trade barriers and a growing consumer class have contributed to economic growth and improvements in the quality of life; however, this rapid economic development has dramatically altered resource usage patterns at both the consumption and production levels. The author points out that the material impact of China's globalization represents a structuralist analysis, which runs counter to the theories of political individualism and rational choice, which content that, left to its own devices, the market will sort out the environmental damage. The paper argues that the long-term effects of uncontrolled globalization on China and the world will be increased potential political instability as the fight for limited and increasingly polluted resources intensifies.
From the Paper
"As the Chinese economy grows so too the demand for resources to fuel increases in the form of energy sources and raw materials for industrial process and agricultural production. Since China is currently considered the world's factory, producing more than it consumes, the pattern of resource use is especially harmful to China. The nation imports raw materials, exports finished goods, but is left with the pollutants from that production. These pollutants and environmental damage takes on many forms including sulfur oxide emissions, deforestation, water pollution, over fishing as well as pollution from pesticides, fertilizers, and industrial chemicals."

Abstract
This paper is a very detailed discussion on the controversial and complex process called globilization, including its major contemporary trends, the controversies surrounding it, its economic, political, technical, legal, organizational, ideological and cultural dimensions. The author submits that that subjective ideological patterns may be imposed upon Globalization issues.
From the Paper
"According to Modelski, the process of Globalization is a range of waves coming from frictions between different civilizations. In my view, Globalization phenomena imply a special reorganization of production, inter-dependence between macro economies, mobility, diffusion and transfer of factors of production. Many agree with Sachs, that development is often the cause of rather than the solution to our problems, some of which include the dissolving family ties, hostile environment, lack of reliability and predictability."

Global Environmental Problems, 2007.
A discussion on how the pollution of coastlines makes us more vulnerable to global environmental problems.
822 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 29.95

Abstract
The paper examines how recent disasters in North America, such as the flooding of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and the water table problems in Texas, show us that development of fragile environments and uncontrolled pollution of the environment can have grave consequences. The paper discusses how weather patterns are being globally changed by the patterns of human habitation. The paper concludes that, while it may take years for society to undo some of the damage done to the global ecosystem, society can and must make changes locally to limit the damage.
From the Paper
"In addition to the physical damage to barrier islands and coastline areas, salinization, that is, an increase of salt content, of these areas kills off the local wildlife, an important part of the food chain. The salinization is a consequence of human use of water for living and also of industrial use. We use the water and then let it flow back into the aquifer with extra salt. Irrigation adds even more pollutants to the water table. The salt water parts of coastal estuaries and salt water marshes creates unique niches for local wildlife."

Abstract
In this in-depth examination of the subject, the author of this paper offers a clear definition of global terrorism. He studies the change in America's views on the subject and lists basic concerns of the effect global terrorism might have on the world and on the United States. The paper analyzes the direct and indirect dimensions of risks to U.S. interests and the patterns of global terrorism. It touches on September 11th, effects on the business sector and future plans to fight global terrorism. Finally, it examines the topic of bioterrorism and the UN response.
From the Paper
"The U.N. cited America as the "most generous nation in the world in responding to emergencies and crises everywhere else." Perhaps that is why the world grieved and suffered along with Americans when terrorism hit U.S. soil. Nearly half the world joined the U.S. in its international war against terrorism. However, it is important to understand the thin line between "global terrorism" and global organized crime.
According to the U.N., in many important respects, terrorism is a problem to be tackled by law-enforcement agencies, in cooperation with military forces; its magnitude can be brought down to "tolerable" levels, but it can never be totally "defeated", just as we cannot have an absolutely crime-free society; and it is part of the growing trend toward the lowered salience of the State in the new security agenda that emphasizes human as well as national security.

Abstract
This paper examines how the equilibrium in a lake as an ecological ecosystem is directly dependant on the regional hydrological cycle and how, since that cycle is dependant on climate patterns, it is assumed that global warming will have an immediate effect on the lake?s physical conditions and, thus, its inhabitants. It explores the Great Lakes system in the eastern United States, which includes thermal niches suitable for the three guilds. In order to get the most accurate prediction, this paper includes parameters, such as depths, water volumes, thermocline depth, and the Great Lakes water chemistry. The main conclusions show that there are three levels of direct effect: 1) thermal niche size changes; 2) changes in growth rate and food consumption; and 3) changes in reproductive success and population size.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Smallmouth bass communities thrive today in warm niches and are unlikely to be affected in the future global warming conditions. A positive response is predicted for the cool water niche, where a 9-fold increase in yearlings population and a 23-fold increase in the fishable populations are expected. This is in fact a mediocre response, intermediate to influence on cold and warm water niches.
The extended reproductive success and the increase in mature individual numbers are logical, since the growth season is expected to be longer and the winter, when the ?winter kill? phenomena (Jackson, 2002) takes place, to be shorter."

Educational Reform in the Global Community, 2005.
A discussion regarding education reform and society in the global community.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses reform related to education in the global community. The paper focuses on the attempts of eleven countries, spanning five continents that have attempted educational reform in the past several decades. This paper then further pinpoints the issues that surround the educational reform, the problems that it attempts to address, and the results of the reform in comparison with the other countries investigated. The paper is significant in educational research because it develops a pattern of global reform that should be addressed within countries that are developing educational reform systems.
From the Paper
"Although the twenty-first century possesses great aspirations for students that dream of changing the world, educational systems across the continents often do not have the ability to assist with such intentions, and are struggling within society to implement educational reform. Often the complication lies in the ability of the social structure to be made aware of the difficulties that exist in education, or it is society's disenchantment with systems that were long contended as unchangeable that led to a dormancy in action to reform the methods that are devised to provide public education. However, the research indicates that battles are being waged across the globe to instill educational systems that will meet the needs of the children of today within the global community, and prepare a framework for the progress of education in the future."

From the Paper
"Terrorism is politically motivated violence against persons who are not combatants in a conflict. Americans have always been targeted while in other countries, but on September 11, 2001, they also became the direct recipients of terrorist activities. The goal of these activities is to promote a sense of fear and deep insecurity. Terrorists strike those who are not combat ready. The victims are nor trained soldiers, they are ordinary citizens. These attacks often come without warning, in an attempt to invoke the greatest amount of fear (Wilcox, 1996). Terrorism attempts to undermine the citizen?s faith in their government?s ability to protect them. Terrorists use intimidation as their primary weapon to induce fear in a society."

The New Labour, 2005.
An examination of how the Labour party has changed under the leadership of Tony Blair.

Abstract
This paper examines how New Labour has distinguished itself from traditional Keynesian Labour, assuming that it has to deal with a mixed economy in which the private sector has been given more and more importance. It looks at how consequently, polemics have emerged around the question of knowing if Labour is closer to the centre-left or to the "New Right". It also discusses how New Labour has met serious difficulties to be considered as a proper political social democrat ideology rather than a pragmatic approach to rising Britain's socio-economic difficulties.
Outline:
New Labour as a Fundamentally New Political Ideology or As a Pragmatic Political Programme
New Labour in the Logic of a Historical Change Process of the Labour Party
New Labour's Main Objectives
New Labour: A Real Shift in Governing Strategies?
New Labour's Welfare Reforms and its "Distinctiveness"
New Labour's Governing Strategies as Distinctive from Those Of Old Labour and Thatcherism?
New Labour Closer to the Centre-Left or to the "New Right"?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"New Labour is certainly not particularly distinctive from its governing predecessors in terms of depoliticisation. In 1998, Gordon Brown, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, established that the Bank of England would be independent in the determination of interest rates. Consequently the Blair government reject a level of political responsibility in the implementation of core economic policies: indeed, interest rates used to be a fundamental economic tool for British governments under Old Labour's Keynesianism to solve Britain's relative economic decline. It is also a policy in rupture with Thatcherism's monetarist policies which tried to fight the inflation by regulating the amount of money in circulation. "

Software Factory Pattern
Singleton Pattern
Composite Pattern
Flyweight Pattern
Proxy Pattern
Facade Pattern
Observer Pattern
From the Paper
"The practice of considering the proper elements of a good software design patterns plays an essential role to an easy development and maintenance of applications and systems. A good software design pattern provides a well-engineered architecture of programming commands and procedures in which the solution it brings encapsulates the universal solution of the problem it covers, thereby, making it a standard and applicable component to other software development tasks. A real design pattern also should allow the possibility of a community of developers to either fully utilize the same pattern or use the pattern as a solution reference applied with minimal changes."
