From the Paper
"The last decade has been one of immense change. The face of industry has shifted yet again, this time in effort to accommodate a world that is digitizing, globalizing and of course, shrinking. The San Diego area in particular is in the midst of a sustained economic boom. Due largely- but not wholly- to the prosperity of the United States at large, San Diego has made the most of the technological revolution and has established itself as a haven for start-up tech firms and rapid development. Of course, the tried-and-true local industries that have long sustained San Diego do continue to create revenue in the region. Tourism, always a factor in San Diego, persists as an agent for the..."

"The Hurdles Facing Shopping Center Development
Just in the last few years, shopping centers have suddenly stopped being the "favorite son" of investors. Today, there is a consensus not to invite them to family gatherings. The reason is investments in poorly planned shopping centers were a large part of the problems of the savings and loan companies. Like farmers who just found out their prize dairy cows are diseased, investors are still feeling the sting of betrayal.
But shopping centers do not have to continue earning the reputation of a bad investment, and this paper will examine the steps the real estate developer can take to see his shopping center through to completion. By looking at the land aquisition, development, construction, and responsibilities of ownership, we ..."

Abstract
The paper explains that A. Simms in his article "Why Do We Owe So Much to Victims of Disaster?" discusses how society is living way beyond its means in relation to climate. The author then relates that R. Gelbspan elucidates in his article "Boiling Point: Nature Doesn't Compromise on Global Climate Change; Activists Must Not Either" how weather or climate is the premier issue since it threatens all of humanity. The paper evaluates the articles on moral, imaginative and emotional criteria. The author concludes that both articles were not filled with jargon which made them informative and powerful.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Moral
Imaginative
Emotional
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Gelbspan does not bring the issue of global warming to such a personal level. With Simms, I feel as though he is sitting with me at my kitchen counter helping me balance my check book and showing me that I am in debt to climate just like I am to my credit cards. Although Gelbspan is a more logical article and the rationale is more intellectual the message is still the same as with Simms--the feeling just isn't the same. Gelbspan's passion and imagination come from his bashing of the American people and their representatives."

The Climate of the U.S.A. and Canada, 2002.
A discussion of the climate of the U.S.A. and Canada, with respect to climate classifications, its effects on farming and other activities.

Abstract
This paper discusses how climate governs the entire ecological structure of the planet earth. The author examines how climate, in relation to the topography and latitudinal location, determines the vegetative types, the hydrology, soil, agriculture and various human activities.
From the Paper
?Climate represents a long term average of various weather features such as temperature and precipitation. The World Meteorological Organization uses 30-year averages to define climatological "normals" for these various features. Climate determines how resources such as water and vegetation are distributed and, until the onset of technology, climate also determined where people lived and worked. Many factors, such as topography, proximity to large bodies of water, and latitude affect a particular location's long-term climate. It is important to note that because a region's climatology is a 30-year average, significant year to year variability is likely. For example, a particular location may have a dry, warm winter one year and a record snowfall the next year.?

Abstract
In this article, the writer provides a detailed explanation of the concepts of climate and culture within a professional organization. The writer notes that doing so will help familiarize the reader with how these separate processes both impact the status of the organization. This paper also demonstrates how an effective leader can change these processes and therefore help improve the quality of the work environment for his or her employees.
Outline:
Introduction
Explanation of Climate and Culture
Climate
culture
Development of Climate and Culture
Changing the Climate and Culture
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The climate of an organization is manifest by its workers. As such, climate research predates culture research as there has traditionally been a strong psychological component of attempting to assess job performance through exploring the perceptions, attitudes, preferences, and motivational drive of employees. Ashanskay et al. find that the early research on climate was done with a focus on Gestalt psychology, suggesting that the study of a climate in an organization was similar to the study of field theory on any population set."

Climate Change, 2002.
An analysis of the relationship between man and the earth regarding climate change.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper will look at the coin of climate change, where on the one side the human impact on the earth will be shown, and on the other, the impact of earth on man. Such a study is inevitably somewhat polemical, as it is still open to debate what the precise effects of man have and will be on climate change, and also what climate change will mean to man. It will also be quite general in analysis, as a paper of this scope can allow no more. What will be made clear, nevertheless, is that the relationship between man and earth is clearly changing. More specifically, man is outgrowing the earth. If the relationship is to continue indeed prosper then a new balance needs to be found. The issue of climate change holds one important key to this balance.

Climate Change and Developing Countries, 2008.
This paper explores the impact of climate change on the development of Third World countries.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how climate change will impact the development of under-developed lands that figure to be (and already are) hardest hit by changes in the natural environment. In particular, the paper looks at how the development projects already in place in the developing world (or those now being conceived) will shortly - if not already - find themselves the targets of new, restrictive regulations aimed at cutting down runaway greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the paper looks at the human toll caused by climate change and how this injures the growth and development of Third World nations. In addition, the paper examines the role climate change plays in depleting natural resources - chiefly water - that fuel important economic activities in lands that can scarcely be without these activities. The paper also looks at how the local tourist sectors of these countries will suffer (are surely suffering already) as biologically diverse locales decline in the face of relentless global change. Last of all, climate change as a precipitator of foreign control over the economic policies of developing states is discussed with a focus upon how climate change has wrestled control for many economic initiatives out of the hand of Third World countries and placed that control firmly in the hands of international regulatory bodies dominated by western elites.
From the Paper
"Climate change means trouble for impoverished "Global South" nations in a host of other ways, as well. A study recently concluded by the World Health Organization insists that climatic changes unfolding since the middle 1970s could be causing (at this very moment) nearly 150,000 annual deaths in the developing world and approximately five million "disability-adjusted life-years" (DALY) in that part of the world, as well. In short, climate-instigated diseases and "heat-related morbidity" are both seen (at least by the WHO) as heavily impacting the developing world even though the developing world is hardly culpable for man-made global warming (Patz, 2006; for a slightly more recent study that affixes a greater responsibility for global climate change to developing lands, please see Raupach, 2007)."

Abstract
Literature is replete with studies which show the importance of school climate in terms of learning potential. This paper focuses on the impact that the school climate has on achievement as well as on concomitant issues that affect and relate to student achievement levels. Achievement within the ambit of overall education cannot be separated from other aspects and variables. This paper therefore also provides examples of the interdependence between increased achievement and factors affecting school climate, in order to create a more amenable and productive school and learning environment.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
Definitions and Importance of School Climate
Literature Overview and Discussion
Outcomes and Possibilities for Improving School Climate
Conclusion
References
From the Paper
"Studies have also found that there is a significant correlation between school climate and other variables which need to be taken into account. For instance, there is an important link between different economic and social strata and problems with school climate. The study by Esposito ( 1999) states that achievement is also related to different school situations. For example the study found that problems with regard to school climate are more often found in low-income districts and are concomitant with problems related to student achievement and socialization."

Abstract
A sceptics view of climate change
From the Paper
"Sea levels are rising, the ice caps are melting, summers are hotter and the world as we know it is doomed unless we reduce greenhouse gas emissions now. This is the alarming view of global warming presented almost daily in the world's media. How much real scientific data is there to back this up?
"In order to assess the problem of man made global climate change the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change) was established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The IPCC has so far produced three assessment reports based mainly on peer reviewed and published scientific/technical literature. Hundreds of scientists across the world were involved. These reports are used as the basis for most public policy on climate change such as the Kyoto Protocol.
"In the second assessment1 published in 1996 the IPCC reported that "the balance of evidence suggests that there is discernible human influence on global climate". In the most recent report in 20012 the IPCC more categorically said that "most of the warming observed the last 50 years is attributable to human activities". Whilst the majority of the scientific community agree with the findings of the IPCC there are still those who are sceptical of their findings."

Abstract
This paper examines the problem of climate change brought about by the operation of major global industries. The paper looks at the threats imposed by climate change and the opportunities presented by action on climate change. Also discussed are the different business strategies applied by American and European firms in response to climate change.
From the Paper
"Climate change has become a major issue on the forefront of economic and political discussions. The cause of climate has been indicated as a build-up of greenhouse gases (mostly CO2) in the atmosphere as a result of emissions mostly from industry. The evidence presented in support of global warming has been robust but not completely conclusive (Levy & Kelley, 1997). The mass sum of greenhouse gas emissions produced by all nations of the world could yield potentially devastating ecological effects (Levy & Kelley, 1997). However, businesses and industry that rely on energy produced by fossil-fuels are concerned that early action on global warming in the absence of conclusive evidence could lead to terrible economic losses. On the other side, inaction could also prove disastrous, since global warming could potentially lead to floods, droughts, rising ocean levels, and disruptions in the global food supply. Moreover, there are both threats and opportunities that are presented to industries due to climate change."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that with the advent of globalization has come the realization that many of the issues traditionally viewed as national concerns have their international implications. The writer notes that climate change has been an enduring issue of concern since the discovery of the ozone layer depletion and its subsequent effects to ecosystems in the early 20th century. The writer discusses the economic impacts of climate change that affects individuals and industries and concludes that there is a realization that climate change has an impact directly and indirectly to the state of economics, policies and social development nationally and internationally.
From the Paper
"One of the best illustrations of climate change related tradeoffs and marginal choices is the Kyoto Protocol. The agreement recognizes that industries have their environmental costs and gives incentives to countries that will be able to function below the CO2 and CH4 production allocations. Though the effort has been seen to be one of the most cohesive global efforts to reduce emissions, some have pointed out that measures only motivate countries to falsehoods on their CO2 and CH4 production. Bohan believes that though these measures control industries' impact to the climate, they do not aid in addressing existing climate problems. Considering the cumulative impact individual environmental issue to climate change, there is concern that marginal efforts to alleviate climate change do not impact climate conditions. Coupled with other economic issues, some analysts believe that existing measures are not able to deter the impact of climate-related issues regardless of the perspectives used to evaluate the issue."

Abstract
This paper examines Korean culture through its earliest history to its present state through modern demographics, religion, education, housing, leisure activities, climate, politics, language, currency and the recent developments associated with the division between North and South Korea. Both the very serious and the socially intriguing are discussed in a brief overview of the cultural climate of South Korea.
From the Paper
"Korean history is rich in culture and fable, a history as independently rich as any nation. The foundations of culture and government are traced through a series of dynasties, monarchical families. Each dynasty is associated with a time of change. The focus of each individual dynasty might run the gambit of all cultural and political development, some dynasties were known for their great contributions to literature, art and science while others were associated with more political focuses. The stories and the rich imagery of Korean Cultural History are often rejected by rationalists and often discredited as fable yet the need for understanding is evident regardless of the impetus. Korean Cultural history is ancient and rich and just as any ancient history the difficulty of proof or disproof through archeology or any other means is present. Yet, regardless of the secular identity or focus of today?s world economy the validity of culture requires not only knowledge but also respect of a strong cultural character."
