Conclusion
From the Paper
"America began as a small cluster of colonies clinging to the eastern shore of the great continent of North America. As the country expanded westward, and also northward and southward, a spirit of "manifest destiny" gripped the land as pioneers, patriots and politicians sought to bring under American domination ever greater amounts of territory. Through land purchases such as the Louisiana Purchase, and through conquest, as in the case of the lands acquired as a result of the Mexican War and the Spanish American War, the country grew until it stretched from sea to sea, and from the Rio Grande River in the south, far north to the cold stretches of the Canadian wilderness."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Susan Yara's article, entitled "Super Gyms for the Super Rich", suggests that the wealthy, as with so many other aspects of their lives, get in shape differently than ordinary Americans. The paper further discusses Yara's analysis that certain gyms, by targeting higher-end consumers, have established a niche market through careful advertising, marketing, and appeal to a crucial 'snob factor' that makes getting in shape for the elite more attractive. The paper examines how the elite are more determined to create enclaves that are for a select few, who are willing to pay any price. The paper includes the original article.
From the Paper
"While the basic fitness centers at a local strip mall might offer a treadmill, these new elite gyms offer the best in personal training and fitness equipment, as might be expected. These gyms also offer concierge services, private cabanas in which consumers can change for the pool, elegant rooftop patios where clients can show off their newly toned figures, private spas and, instead of Power Bars and Gatorade, the gym's dining areas serving gourmet food. Customers are not simply given standard dietary and workout advice, they are given specific meal and supplement plans, as well as medical assessments to go with customized workout regimes."

Abstract
This paper will discuss why it was important to have the United States be in imperialist power after the Spanish American wars of 1898, and the Roosevelt era. By understanding this, we can see the affects of this policy that strengthened America's outlook on the rest of the world. This not only created some certain terms to make use of the world's resources, but expanded the power of the US, as well. By realizing this, certain examples of hegemony will be used to understand why it was important to do this in the early twentieth century.

Outline:
Introduction
Diversity in Britain
Super-Diversity
Conclusion
From the Paper
" In the traditional sense of diversity in Britain, the imperial past of the empire created many transnational connections that have occurred as a result of the economic networks of multinational corporations. In addition this diversity has increased through the flow of capital, the migration of labour and the spread of ideas and information (Gardiner & Matthews 2000). The authors also insists that the advent of the internet has created a free movement of information which means that British culture is now available to many regardless of political boundaries."

Abstract
This paper recounts the beginnings of the Super Bowl by first looking at the creation of the AFL. It looks at the role television had in the success of the Super Bowl and the tremendous amounts of money spent by both leagues which encouraged fans to pick sides. The continued success of the Super Bowl and some of the factors that contribute to its success (half time shows, commercial airtime) are also discussed.
From the Paper
"By 1968, the year of Super Bowl I, America accounted for over 78million households with televisions (out of a worldwide 200million) and its popularity was ever increasing. At this point, television shows that are now steady re-runs on Nick at Nite, were entertaining Americans as they lived their ?American Dream?. Televised football games were highly popular (much like today) and were a ready source of commercial income for broadcast stations and football franchises. Television programs and commercials were defining what Americans should buy, eat and live by. It was a viable force then as it is now."

From the Paper
"For many years Kmart has been at the forefront of the discount store industry. However, the introduction and subsequent market share takeover of Wal-Mart has left Super Kmart in the lurch. The marketing audit reveals that the products that are carried by Super Kmart are similar to those carried by other retailers in the industry. However the research does indicate that Kmart has some unique products such as the Martha Stewart line that it may be able to capitalize on. The distribution system at Super Kmart has been antiquated for quite some time, however a new more advanced system has been implemented and some tasks related to distribution have been outsourced to reduce costs. In the past the poor distribution system has led to a decrease in the amount of inventory available to customers. The company is optimistic that the new distribution system will help to solve this problem. Super Kmart uses television and print ads to promote its products. Such promotion is geared towards women with children. Although the company has experienced some difficulty related to the promotion of products. These problems arose because quite often the products that were advertised were not available in stores because of the antiquated distribution system."

Imperialist Nation, 2004.
An examination of whether the United States is another imperialist nation.
4,599 words (approx. 18.4 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 119.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of whether the United States is another imperialist nation, seeking to build an empire. The paper contends that in the late 1800s and throughout the 1900s this statement can be argued in terms of historical developments in the U.S., which impacted the world. The paper illustrates how the United States did in fact act imperialistically either through a formal or informal empire. This imperialism had negative effects throughout the world and continues still today.
From the Paper
"The policy of extending the control or authority over foreign entities as a means of acquisition and/or maintenance of empires, either through direct or indirect methods of exerting control on the politics and/or economy of other countries isn't a concept conceived by the European explorers (Imperialism). The existence of empires dates back to the beginning of written history in Egypt and Mesopotamia. Here, local rulers extended their realms by conquering other states and holding them in a state of subjection or partial subjection. In Asia there were long lasting and complex imperial organizations demonstrated by various Chinese dynasties. This ancient imperialism reached its climax under the Roman Empire, the eastern part of which lasted until late into the Middle Ages as the Byzantine Empire. So, for arguments sake, the United States was late in this game, for it didn't actually acquire colonial possessions until the Spanish-American War in 1898."

Abstract
Adolph Hitler is undoubtedly one of the most important historical figures of the 20th century. During his reign in Germany as a dictator, he made a tremendous impact on the events that happened on the European continent. His tyrannical rule, which surprisingly, had the support of the majority of the German people, coupled with his imperialistic notions, created a new chapter in European history. The paper shows that the intriguing aspect of Hitler?s life is how he managed to rise from, literally, an unknown person to the position of "Fuhrer of Germany". Several historians have been interested in this meteoric rise of Hitler and have studied the sudden transition of his life, offering their own interpretations. The paper explores this aspect of Hitler?s life in detail by studying the thoughts of different historians so as to gain a better picture of Hitler?s life and the mystery behind his magnetic personality.
From the Paper
"The Great Depression in the early 1930?s was one of the main reasons contributing to Hitler?s success. The Weimar government was not able to standup to the economic crisis, which left millions of German?s without job. People who so far showed little interest in politics were lending their ears to new radical parties in the hope of an economic revival. There was an intense yearning for a leader of the status of ?Kaiser? and the instability of the Weimar republic provided a fertile ground for Hitler and his Nazi party. The policies of the Nazi party attracted the German people who saw it as the only hope in chaotic situation. One of the main points of action promised by the Nazis was the reunion of the German people who were segregated from the mainland due to the implications of the treaty of Versailles."

Many of its stores offer flowers, house wares, pharmacy items, and banking to its customers as well as regular grocery items. Four of its stores are "Pix" convenience stores in Florida (Biesada, 2005, para. 1). The chain benefits from the social structure of its target consumer base, which is the family in the South. The stores tend to emphasize its family-friendly image instead of price to differentiate itself from the competition."

A comparison with other sectors of interest is followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"Ukrop's stores were founded in 1937 by Joe Ukrop and are located throughout Central Virginia today. The 26-store grocery chain is best known for its strong emphasis on prepared foods, in-store cafes, full-service pharmacies, small-town hours (the stores are closed at 10 p.m. and all day Sundays) and a prohibition on alcohol sales (Fisher 1998). According to Scott Ukrop, the vice president of marketing for the privately held company, "We feel like we've got a strong brand, but the question remains as to how to strengthen it. Not only do we need to get ourselves out to our new markets, but there's enough turnover here [in Richmond] that it's just as important? (Fisher 1998:11)."

Abstract
This paper examines how and why certain ads are accepted or rejected by the media while also delving into who ultimately decides which ads are broadcast to the viewing public. The writer of this paper focuses on the most recent Super Bowl which was broadcast on the CBS television network while detailing the reasons behind two specific ads which were rejected due to their content. This paper delves into the First Amendment to the Constitution and its relevance to this particular topic. The paper also analyzes the rules and regulations stipulated by the Federal Communications Commission and its resulting impact on the advertising industry as a whole.
From the Paper
"Although the Super Bowl is a public event that is the most watched TV program, it is a privately produced show and the choice of what ads to run rests with the network, a private company. Once CBS network bought the rights to broadcast the Super Bowl it had First Amendment rights to choose what it would or would not broadcast. Under the First Amendment CBS has the right to exercise its editorial judgment regarding the content of Super Bowl ads."

Imperialist Nostalgia and Salvage Collecting, 2002.
The possible problems and benefits of both salvage collecting and imperialist nostalgia of the early 20th century with regard to the Native American.
2,270 words (approx. 9.1 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 70.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay explores two ways prevalent in the 20th century of preservation of the Native American culture: imperialist nostalgia and salvage ethnography, both of which are a reconstruction of the Native American culture from a Western viewpoint. The essay concludes that while the preservation accomplished was not faithful to the culture it strove to conserve, it did succeed in providing a vehicle for its remembrance, leading to the Native Americans' preservation of their own culture.
From the Paper
"The dust kicked up in the frenzy of Western expansion and manifest destiny has settled and is finally beginning to clear. Now, in light of a new civilized nation, questions are being raised as to just what was stamped out in the process. This is not the first time these questions have been raised; in fact, such concerns existed even while the damage was being done. They were answered by voices overwhelmed with guilt and thus resulted in the salvage collecting and imperialist nostalgia whose births followed queue to that of our nation."

Super Market Madness, 2002.
A behavioral economics analysis of food purchases.
1,775 words (approx. 7.1 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper uses a behavioural economics standpoint to examine problems with the classical economic assumption of rational behaviour. It examines possible explanations for this behaviour such as signalling, herding, status consciousness and imperfect information. The paper concludes that that the main motivation for consumers purchasing more expensive food because it has a branded label on it does seem to be that they simply do not know any better.
From the Paper
"If classical economists were to look at the other people in the supermarket while doing their grocery shopping, they would observe a high proportion of irrational people. This is because most supermarket shoppers will purchase at least one brand-name food item. Purchasing brand name food items can be considered an irrational act under pure economic analysis, assuming that the brand name does not provide an assurance of quality. The continued survival of brand name food items at supermarket checkouts can be seen as evidence that rational choice theory does not fully explain people's behavior. This suggests that there may well be another, better, framework to examine everyday behavior."
