Abstract
This paper explains that the Internet permits the traveler to gain much information to enable the choice of destination, especially snippets of information on the history, highlights, prices of hotels, the food availability and its cost, nearest bus stops, airports and railways, the currency and its present value of the currency and special events. The author points out that on the website, 'CheapHotel.Com' the history of Verona is depicted in great detail, stating that this ancient city dates back to the time of the settlement of the Indo-European travelers who found the land in the city to be extremely fertile. The paper concludes that Internet advertising is very popular, especially in relation to travel and tourism, and the response generated from these advertisements on the Internet is ever increasing.
From the Paper
"On the Internet, the Tower of London is most often presented as the very best tourist destination for the traveler. Some websites offer 'Virtual Tours', wherein after a short history of the Tower, a tour is presented to the visitor of the website, wherein they can access the time in London, the weather conditions there now, and other small details that would make this place come alive, or rather become virtually real. In addition, a 'Midi' by Barry Taylor, on 'Rule Britannia' has been added to the site whereby one can listen to it when browsing through the information offered. The current news is provided on the website in the form of the 'Tower of London Gazette' which the visitor can read if he so desires. A section entitled 'Grandma's Recipes' is also available, and one can find excellent English recipes on the pages of this site."

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."

Augustine's Understanding of the "City of God and the City of Man", 2002.
Examines the influence of Saint Augustine on Western religious thought and analyzes his text "City of God".
650 words (approx. 2.6 pages), 3 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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.

Online Learning, 2007.
This essay provides a reflection on socio-historical analysis of online learning.
782 words (approx. 3.1 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 27.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that upon beginning this research into the socio-historical issues of online learning, the writer felt that it was a great boon to society. However, with time and study the writer has come to feel that online learning only heightens an already serious trend. The writer maintains that just as Walter Benjamin argues that actors have auras that are necessary to their performance on the stage, and just as physical art pieces have auras which create a "ritual" surrounding themselves, the writer has come to believe that traditional pedagogues and schools of higher education maintain a certain aura of presence which cannot be reproduced digitally and which is therefore lost in the online learning environment. The writer concludes that the non-academic social and psychological effects of distance learning have not been adequately studied so far, but it is the writer's belief that distance learning takes away the sacred aura from learning and, in so doing, passes on to the student only the shell and form of an education rather than its true substance.
From the Paper
"Perhaps because advanced education became so widely available, it began to be increasingly required of all people, even those whose line of work did not actually require specialized college training. For example, working as a secretary or salesperson in no way requires college training, but many positions require a degree (regardless of the area of specialization in the degree) before applying, as if to prove that one is at all capable of serious effort and success. No doubt the expectation of adult learning has grown with the increased demand for college graduates in the work field, and vice versa. Yet in many cases, continued education is not pursued for the sake of learning itself, but for the sake of qualifying for positions."
"In the traditional educational setting, deep bonds are forged between teachers and students. The position of a sensei, a teacher, or a mentor has been an extremely sacred one in many traditions. Bonds were forged between teachers and their students that were expected to be not just academic but also personal and, in some cases, life long."

Abstract
This paper investigates strategies that can be used by online retailing stores to encourage and increase online consumer purchasing behavior. The paper focuses on the Taiwanese market and considers relevant factors, such as trends, behavior patterns of customers, purchasing habits, product lines, and ideas that work in Western markets that are applicable to Taiwanese markets.
Strategy and Planning for Online Stores
Measuring Effectiveness of Websites of Online Stores
SWOT Analysis of Operating an Online Retail Store
Strengths of Online Retailing in Taiwan
Weaknesses of Online Retailing in Taiwan
Opportunity for Online Retailing in Taiwan
Threats Faced by Online Retailing in Taiwan
The Taiwanese Market and the Market's Readiness for Online Retailing
P.E.S.T. Analysis of Taiwan
Porter's Market Analysis of the Online Retail Market
From the Paper
"There is no doubt that the environment within which the organization operates has a great influence on the market share of the product lines of the company. Similarly, there is no doubt that the environment within which the organization operates has a great influence on the sales that the company can hope to make using online retail concepts. For example, a market that has a large number of Internet users will have larger volume of online purchasers. At the same time however, the Internet can also offer individuals located at destinations that are very geographically apart an option to purchase products that might have otherwise not been available to them. Therefore, a customer in Taiwan could purchase a product from a store based in the U.S., U.K. or Australia without ever having to leave their homes."

Abstract
This paper examines the issues concerning the establishment of online distance learning courses at Eujean City Community College. It analyzes how in order to implement the program, several components need to be considered to justify its establishment such as the rationale, the mission, the goals and the resources required. It also considers the program's relevance to the college and the community. It evaluates how the provision of online distance learning courses enables Eujean City Community College to offer more courses to a larger student population and provides an effective tool of meeting the needs of an increasingly diverse student population without incurring excessive expenses.
From the Paper
"The establishment of online courses at Eujean City Community College provides a viable solution for the college to deal with the financial constraints caused by reduced state and local government funding. The demand for continuing education has increased nationwide: the number of students needing traditional higher education has risen from 15 million to 20 million in the United States. Entrepreneurs and for-profit schools, as well as other community colleges, are seizing the opportunities to encroach on the traditional student population of community colleges through online courses (Dunn, 2000, p. 38). Therefore, with increasing numbers of people returning to schools and rising competition from a variety of sectors, Eujean City Community College's Online Distance Education Program can increase productivity and efficiency (Callan, 1997, p. 10).

Online Star Newspaper: 27 April 2007
Printed Version
From the Paper
"When scrutinising advertisements in the two editions of the newspaper it is visible that the products and target markets were different based on the media being used. Despite that fact, advertisements are important to both versions of the newspaper. In terms of user friendliness, both newspaper versions have their problems and advantages, with the paper edition being part of a societal and historical habit, despite being more difficult to navigate compared to the electronic version. The electronic version tends to overcrowd the homepage, leading to confusion at times. Finally, interactivity is the element that best separates the two versions of newspaper that have been compared. The paper version is a classic that has been and will be around for a very long time; however, it cannot compete with the vast interactivity offered by the electronic version. Ultimately, online journalism adds a new and useful dimension to a profession that always has use for new forms of communication and information."

"Many analysts have contended that when the growth rate for online advertising begins to outpace traditional advertising, the dominance of online advertising will become clear. This milestone first happened during 2005 when full-year U.S. Internet advertising accounted for 7% of spending while the total advertising market grew by only 3%. According to many investment analysts contend that 14% or more of total advertising spending by 2010 will be from online advertising, and within the total set of digital marketing spending, search advertising will be the largest growth area."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the role of public administration in five different American cities. The cities examined include Columbia, Missouri; Bozeman, Montana; Denver, Colorado; Fargo, North Dakota; and Yuma, Arizona. Different aspects of each city are discussed, including an examination of city organization and governmental structure.
From the Paper
"Public administration within the context of any city can take on a variety of forms. A number of organizational structures and functions are relatively common, such as fire and police protection. However, some cities have specialized needs and must develop organizational systems capable of meeting those needs and providing for the citizens of the city. These special needs often are developed outside the standard organizational structure of the city's administration functions. This is evident when we consider the Storm Water Task Force, developed as a special committee in the city of Columbia, MO. In 2001, the city council of Columbia authorized the Public Works department in the city to create a new task force that would deal specifically with storm water issues and agendas (Willett)."

From the Paper
"Meanwhile, the coming of the new millennium has brought new and more challenging technologies. Different forms of communications such as Internet, mobile phones and SMS, Internet chat or MIRCs, and e-groups penetrated majority of the countries around the world. Communication through computer - generated networks became very visible. This enables any individual to talk with someone you cannot see in a face-to-face basis, to buy something and have it delivered without having to go out of your home, to research for any information with just one click on the Internet, or to meet new friends. Even on - line studies or distance education through computer - generated communication sprouted like mushrooms. More and more schools started to offer distance form of learning to accommodate students who, due to lack of time, opted to enroll in a much "scheduled-free" learning method. Furthermore, the idea of learning through online gave birth to online academic communities, as pioneered by Stanford University's Club Nexus. This academic community brings the students of the same preference closer to one another and at the same time broadens the students "world"."

Research Question and Hypothesis
Fundamental Theories
Literature Review
Methodology
Conclusion
From the Paper
"As the field continues to expand attention turns to evaluating its effectiveness. Online opportunities abound because of the advantages however, there have been recent concerns about the quality of education that they provide. The teacher is not face to face with the students. If they have questions they must wait until they get an email or chat response. There are more opportunities for academic dishonesty without in person discussion and testing. While online education can provide a valuable benefit to the students of the world it is important to ascertain the strengths and weaknesses of such a path so that future courses can become even better."

Italian Cities in Medieval Europe, 2002.
This paper examines why Italian cities in medieval times developed at a faster rate than other European cities, becoming the richest in medieval Europe, possibly the world.

Abstract
This paper looks at the reasons behind the huge development of medieval Italian cities in relation to the rest of Europe. These factors include: Their superior organization, military history, geographical advantages in terms of trade and commerce and the unique form of government dividing the country into city states.
From the Paper
"Medieval times saw an expansion in city life all across Europe, but nowhere more so than in Italy. As early as the tenth century, Italian towns, though still inferior to those in the East, had become far larger than those in other Catholic European countries. From 1100-1250, the population of many Italian cities grew considerably, rising from around 5,000-6,000 people to between 30,000-40,000. This was because of a number of factors, most notably the commercial revolution and explosion of trade, which Italy was in a unique position to exploit, due, among other things, to her history and geographical location."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the extensive collection, sharing and exchange of information between online companies to create profiles of individuals has become a major concern for privacy advocates. The paper defines online profiling and looks at the three primary categories of privacy concerns and the three segments of consumers who hold different views on privacy. The paper examines the benefits and concerns and contends that consumers deserve better protection of their online privacy. The paper maintains that the solution for the above problems is to make opting-in mandatory for all online profiling. The paper shows how there is no need for businesses to violate privacy rights as they are currently doing by insisting on invasive online profiling practices.
Outline:
Introduction
Online Profiling Defined
Privacy Concerns
Public Perception
Benefits and Concerns
Self-Regulation
Compliance with Self Regulation
Conclusion and Recommendations
From the Paper
"Online profiling may involve the collection of anonymous transactional data and it may also involve the merger of this click stream data with personally identifiable information such as name, address, telephone number, credit card number, social security number, email address, etc. (Sax, 1999) A click stream is the sequence of clicks or pages requested as a visitor explores a Web site. The click stream data collected may include information such as Web sites and Web pages visited, the time and duration of the visit, search terms typed in search engines' forms, and other queries, purchases, "click through" responses to advertisements, and the previous page visited (Mulligan, 1999)."

Online vs. Traditional Degrees, 2004.
This paper compares online or distance degrees through the Internet and traditional degrees by attending class.
845 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, although many experts believe an online degree is simply not as effective as a traditional degree, studies consistently show there is little difference in the outcomes between online and traditional learning. The author points out that most experts agree that, for meaningful online education, there must be student-to-student interaction and well-timed, student-to-teacher feedback. The paper stresses that, to succeed in online education, students must be motivated to complete the course on their own, be comfortable in an insulated environment where they do not have face-to-face contact with other students and their instructor, and must be extremely comfortable with computers and technology; procrastinators will not survive many online courses.
From the Paper
"While many more schools are jumping on the distance education bandwagon, the question remains, how effective is distance education versus traditional in-class education? Many educators believe there are many positive outcomes from distance education, as one expert notes, "Contrary to intuition, current Web-based online college courses are not an alienating, mass-produced product. They are a labor-intensive, highly text-based, intellectually challenging forum which elicits deeper thinking on the part of the students and which presents, for better or worse, more equality between instructor and student". However, much of the business community is still quite hesitant to recognize online education as a viable alternative to the traditional degree process."
