Abstract
Although, certain apologists of colonialism have tried to depict colonial rule and influence as benign and even beneficial for the populations of ?lesser? civilizations, the fact of the matter is that colonization of these countries was done for exploitative (economic), religious and strategic motives. This paper focuses on the problems that the two countries had to endure as a result of the colonial rule or influence, and the similarities and differences between their experiences. Issues such as the transfer of wealth, unfair trade, the opium wars and poverty are covered in the paper.
From the Paper
"Although poverty is still a shocking sight in India today, it was even worse during the colonial period. There were 31 serious famines during 120 years of direct British rule in India compared to 17 in the 2000 years before the British rule. (Mike Davis quoted in The Colonial Legacy). If you think this was due to rapid growth in population, you are wrong?between 1870 and 1910, India?s population grew by 19% while England and Wales?s population grew by 58%. Most eyewitness accounts of India before the British colonization describe India as a rich country. (?From Trade to??). The region is still struggling to climb out of crippling poverty after 200 years of colonial exploitation."

From the Paper
"Overpopulation is perhaps the single most pervading force of today's society. Transcending boundaries of political science, economics, sociology or any other field working with issues relevant to contemporary society, the mathematical certainty of exponential population growth is simple; By the time we begin to sense overpopulation, it is only a short time until the problem reaches mammoth and uncontrollable scale. Particularly in the third world, where resources are scarce, the imperative for action for clear. China and India are the two most heavily populated nations of the world, yet have taken radically different approaches to population control. India has maintained a strictly non-coercive population policy, and indeed the population has skyrocketed. China, on the other hand, has succeeded in curbing the population growth rate quite significantly by taking a much more proactive stance. While pragmatically effective, China's policies are so authoritarian and coercive that they lead to consequences considered simply inhuman by many."

Abstract
"The three largest economies in Asia had very different experiences in the world economy from 1850 to 1945. India, an imperial subject of Britain throughout this period, was forced to abandon the production of textiles and most other goods when Britain elected to manufacture these goods and export them instead to its continent-sized colony.
From the Paper
"The three largest economies in Asia had very different experiences in the world economy from 1850 to 1945. India, an imperial subject of Britain throughout this period, was forced to abandon the production of textiles and most other goods when Britain elected to manufacture these goods and export them instead to its continent-sized colony. As a result, India became primarily an exporter of primary products and made only minimal progress toward industrialization. China, though it was no one's colony, was beset by weak governments and periods of extreme political instability. But China suffered a much worse fate than India's because it was subject to the demands of powerful, competing industrialized nations seeking raw materials and markets for their manufactured goods. Japan, however, became one of the industrialized nations and, in addition to exerting ..."

Abstract
A brief comparison of the way people live in both China and India. It shows that both countries do not provide equal opportunities for their women - Communism and the caste system. In China the emphasis is on a good education and striving for hard work while in India most of the population is illiterate. The writer suggests that while both countries are densely populated their attitude towards life are very different.
From the Paper
"The cultures of India and China share some similarities, yet are vastly different when answering the question of how ideally a person should live their life. India, as a country, embraces the diversity of their people, and lives peacefully despite the different religions that coexist. The country supports a large population that is estimated at over 1 billion people. The people of India speak thousands of languages, practice nearly every religion imaginable, and oddly enough still incorporate the caste system. China similarly supports a 1-billion+ population, along with social classes, but more emphasis is placed on being male, and receiving higher education. Communism has been a very intrusive government system, which has dramatically influenced the everyday way of life in China."

Abstract
This paper explains that the spectacular growth and development of the urban habitation over the past 16 years is just the beginning of a gigantic phase of extension. The author points out that China?s ecological problems from the speedy urbanization and industrialization process in the recent decades generate social effects, causing a great deal of harm to human health, instigating economic and welfare suffering, and harming the environment in both urban and rural areas of China. The paper relates that, because of increasing industrialization and urbanization, the majority of the Indian cities have exceedingly compact habitation that results in overcrowding, clogging, obstruction, traffic jams, air pollution, noise pollution, as well as major deficiencies of vital requirements and necessities of life

The Impact of Urbanization, Industrialization And Housing Security on India
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The velocity of urbanization and industrialization was extremely slow prior to the late 1970s when contrasted with other developing states. The proportion of urban inhabitants was 11.2 in 1950, and still barely 17.9 by 1978. This low degree of urbanization had been the consequence from purposeful procedures of restraining rural-urban immigration and urban increase. Economic restructurings have since accelerated the industrialization and urbanization procedures. Large numerals of towns, as well as, cities have surfaced, at the same time as old cities are quickly increasing their managerial spheres."

Abstract
This paper discusses the progress made in opening China's economy to Western investors and goes on to explain that as the older communist hard-liners retire and die off, the new younger politicians who have benefited from the growth of a free market economy will replace the old guard. This paper also ponders the paranoia in China and the U.S. which keeps China from completely abandoning its policies of aggression. The writer of this paper ascertains that China's policy in Hong Kong and their willingness to offer the Taiwanese the same separate system of government are both signs that China will be less aggressive in the next century.
Topics covered this report include:
Introduction
The Move Towards a Free Market Economy
The Move Away From Isolationism
A New Non-Aggressive China for New Millennium
Conclusion
Works Cited
From the Paper
"Under Mao Tse Tung, China maintained a policy of isolationism. The European Imperial powers had devastated the Chinese economy and the was a strong and natural mistrust for the former powers. England's policy opium for goods caused an increase in the production of opium and turned a large segment of the population into addicts. Opium was illegal under Chinese law, but as the British gained control, these laws were ignored. Economic distrust was warranted, and the country followed a path of economic and political isolationism. This started to change in the seventies with Richard Nixon's visit, and has continued up until present day. As China becomes a more free market oriented economy, isolationism will disappear completely."

Abstract
This paper examines the physiological and psychology aspects of sleep. It opens with a comprehensive overview of normal sleep and its physiological basis and then details over a dozen of the most common sleep disorders (their basis, diagnosis, treatment, etc.), including insomnia, narcolepsy and sleepwalking.
From the Paper
"The ancient Greeks ascribed the need for sleep to the god Hypnos ("Sleep"), the child of Darkness and Night and the brother of Death, whose power, as he swept across humanity, was so great that even the gods were forced to succumb to him. The prominent place of sleep in ancient mythology serves as a testament to the unequivocal importance it plays in everyday life. Everyone needs to sleep. Although researchers today have devised sophisticated means to define, describe, and detail sleep they still do not fully understand its function. However, when sleep is disturbed, the effects are dramatic and clear. Without sleep we become tired, disoriented, lethargic, mentally dulled, confused, or in extreme cases hallucinatory or assume a state resembling psychosis. Current research on sleep focuses on two main areas: basic sleep mechanisms and sleep physiology and sleep disorders in clinical medicine."

Abstract
This paper explains that the objectives of the study were to describe the general sleeping habits of College of Arts and Sciences students and to evaluate if the student's course is a factor in his or her sleeping habits (defined as the number of hours of sleep and sleep quality). The author points out that the methodology of the study was a descriptive survey of college students using a stratified random sampling design with the sample size set at a 90% confidence level. The paper concludes that, although statistically the students' courses do not have bearing on what time and how long the students sleep, the respondents themselves believe that their courses affect their sleep. The paper includes several tables, figures and the survey used in the study.

From the Paper
"Sleep deprivation causes emotional disturbances in people. It may also lead to aggressiveness, apathy; result in fluctuations between euphoria and depression and vice versa. One can also experience pain in joints, hallucinations and visions. People also lose their ability to think straight and act quickly. Those who have been sleep deprived for long, usually find it hard to finish a sentence or find an appropriate word to describe something. One's short-term memory also tends to fail. Therefore, one should never economize additional time for sleep. A sleep-deprived individual does everything twice as slow."

Abstract
After a general outline of sleep and what happens while we are sleeping, this paper goes on to discuss the body's biological need for sleep, the sleeping problem known as insomnia, and how it can affect one's health. The paper also looks at some possible causes of insomnia and how it can be treated.
From the Paper
"We spend about one third of our life sleeping. Sleep is defined as the suspension of consciousness during which the powers of the body are restored (ThinkQuest, 2003). The brain is not at rest during sleep as popularly thought, but is extremely active and it is the brain that tells us when it is time to sleep. Sensations of light taken in from the retina are transferred through the nerves to an area of the brain determines the amount of light exposure and adjusts the body accordingly. The exact purpose of sleep remains a mystery, but researchers speculate that during certain stages of sleep, the brain is testing, strengthening, or somehow improving our neurons."

Media Giants & The Developing World, 2006.
A discussion regarding the role of Western multimedia giants in the developing world.
1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 5 sources, $ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper considers the potential positive or negative contributions that media giants have made in the developing world. The paper discusses how Western media giants have made overall positive contributions to the developing world and that the potential for the media to act as the broadsword of cultural imperialism is clear. Nonetheless, in the process of advancing their own agendas, media giants have inadvertently though sometimes purposefully helped promote positive values and development in the Third World.
From the Paper
"Transnational media corporations, such as Time Warner, Disney, and Google, have made dubious contributions to the developing world. There is a significant debate over whether or not the media has had a positive or negative effect upon Third World development. Proponents of capitalism and open trade argue that the media has worked to promote communication, provide new outlets for culture, and even assist in the democratization process of developing nations. Opponents of globalization and the media's role in it, however, argue the opposite. They would suggest that multimedia giants should not have free reign in the developing world. Their presence there amounts to cultural imperialism by the West. "

Abstract
This paper discusses Coskun Samli's book "Up Against the Retail Giants". The paper explains that the book that is written for the smaller business person who needs to realize that he or she is entering a market that is dominated by real giants like Wal-Mart, Costco, and Home Depot. The paper looks at how the book emphasizes that the business person needs to have a strong sense of reality, know the nature of the market, and develop a clear strategy for addressing the disparity between the small company and the large.
From the Paper
"Indeed, Samli begins with a consideration of the nature of retailing and of ideas that empower the retailer and attract and keep customers. The process of managing a retail outlet is depicted here as a matter of strategy development, which also means giving the retail establishment certain distinguishing features enabling consumers to identify the company as well as to be attracted to it. However, as Samli also points out, the distinguishing features alone could drive consumers away as well as attracting them."

Abstract
This paper explains that the speaker in Martin Espada's poem "Sleeping on the Bus" is paying tribute to the forefathers of the human rights movement by showing the many hardships they had to overcome. The author points out that the main theme of the poem is to show how easily the people of today forget the sacrifices that were made to create the freedoms now enjoyed and how there is still work to be done. The paper relates that the repeating rhetorical question "how we" emphasizes the speaker's goal of making the reader strongly remember the tough long road of desegregation. The paper analyzes each stanza of the poem.
From the Paper
"The poem explicates how a decade before the demonstrations in Alabama, few held true to their convictions out of fear of the pure power that the conservative majority had over the police and government "no witness spoke to cameras." When a "brown skinned man in Army uniform" made the smallest snicker in disbelief regarding the "custom of the backseat" he was dragged from the bus by the police. Without due process, the "brown skinned" man was put in jail for a week, while the "magistrate" went right back to bed feeling no remorse and sleeping soundly."
