The presentation of the findings of the assessment is in three major sections, as follows: (1) a comparison of the performance of the four precious metals ..."

Abstract
The paper discusses how ethical investing is investing in companies that are ethical and promote moral values to its people, its clients and customers. The paper continues by explaining that there are no uniform standards. Every individual has his own idea, choice and concept of what is ethical and what is unethical. The paper offers a definition that anything that can harm is unethical and provides several guidelines that can be helpful to assure that the investment is ethical. The paper also includes the social view on ethical investing, that it is important ethical investing is encouraged because we should all be responsible to our society.
From the Paper
"It is not, on the other hand, just the moral status and standards that a company promotes that investors look for when investing ethically. Of course, the investors require that the company they invest at can provide them with quick returns of investments, competitive returns of investments, and secured method of investing. That is, investors who invest ethically have the goals of being able to earn without going through unethical business procedures or operations. Beal (2005) and her colleagues also suggest that some motivations of investing ethically are the objectives of attaining non-wealth returns and being able to contribute to the society."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper describes how metals exist in the form of minerals in the earth's crust, a metal ore being a highly concentrated mineral form of the metal. The paper explains how extraction of metals from its ore depends upon the quality of the ore and that the ores obtained from the ground contain unwanted impurities called gangue. The paper discusses the various methods of extracting these impurities from the metal.
Table of Contents:
Concentration
a. Gravity Separation or Hydraulic Washing
b. Froth Flotation
c. Magnetic Separation
d. Chemical Separation
Roasting or Calcination
Reduction of Mineral to the Metal
a. Electrolytic Reduction
b. Chemical Reduction (Smelting)
c. Auto-reduction(Smelting)
Refining
From the Paper
In this method, a Wilfley table is used .It is a sloping table and its top is corrugated or riffled in the direction of the slope. The crushed ore is then placed on the top of this table, which is always kept vibrating. "Then water is made to flow across the table at right angles to the top. The lighter gangue particles are thrown upwards at every jerk and carried across the table by the stream of water, while the heavier ore particles move towards the bottom of the table. Thus separation takes place when the ore reaches the bottom. This method is useful for dense ores like Cassiterite (SnO2).
Hydraulic classifier."

"Socially Responsible Investing is a product of increased levels of social conscious bvehavior across a wide apectrum of cultural and social priorities. The current demograpnhic of aging investors, those who are 50 years and older, are increasingly made up of the Baby Boom generation. When establishing their personal priorities during their young adult, this generation chose to pursue ecological, and social causes. As they enter a period of increasing levels of investment, it is reasonable that this same group would be equally concerned where they placed their money, and what companies they supported."

This paper discusses the environmental and human health effects of heavy metal contamination. The paper examines the sources of the heavy metals, transport of the heavy metals and the solutions to heavy metal contamination.
From the Paper

Birch note, Soils across the entire Iron Cove catchment are enriched in Cu, Pb, and Zn, but are substantially elevated in the north-east part of area, probably due to the location of old houses, past industry, and the convergence of major roads and railway lines (Snowdon and Birch 336). From this statement it seems that heavy metals are released into the environment from a number of human activities."

From the Paper
"The Dowling Flexible Metals Company developed with relative rapidity from its beginnings in a small garage. What started out as a company fabricating dies for making minor component metal parts for automobiles. When it was decided that diversification was necessary so as not to be tied so closely to the automobile, the company started to expand into new markets with new metal products. The company grew rapidly after that and in 1980 found itself with greater size, more debt, and a number of problems that had not been addressed during the period of growth. The immediate issue is to examine the company and to recommend how to make things run better."

Other investors are drawn to real estate because there is a tangible asset-land or buildings-that does not exist with many other types of investments. Still, other investors think of themselves as real estate moguls in the mold of Donald Trump who ..."

Abstract
The paper describes the Island Principle, a long-term plan for investing in global markets. The paper explains the benefits of diversification in reducing risk. In conclusion, the paper shows that investment using the Island Principle reduces risk and returns higher revenues.
From the Paper
"Diversification is the key to risk management and the most powerful tool investors can implement. By diversifying their investments investors can make their returns equal to the amount of the investment and keep risks below the average of their investment. In order to keep risks low investors should own more than one stock, own stocks in more than one sector, and own more than one kind of asset. However, diversification is more complicated than simply owning different kinds of stock in different international markets. The various stocks must have the right relationship to one another. Using economic terminology, the investments must have the right correlation for diversification to reduce risk."

Socially Responsible Investing, 2005.
This paper discusses whether socially responsible investing is ethical.

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines whether the matter of socially responsible investing is ethical. The writer provides an examination of the issues, with definitions. The writer concludes in the affirmative, according to narrow and broad definitions.
From the Paper
"In considering the question of whether it is possible for socially responsible investing (SRI) to be ethical, we must first be clear on the meaning of the two terms, i.e. "SRI" and "ethical". In the personal sense, we usually understand "ethical" to mean doing the right thing, according to some external code or rules of conduct. Similarly, in the professional world ethical is usually understood to mean conforming to an external code of conduct, which is often formally laid down as the professional standards of conduct for a particular profession."

From the Paper
"Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
This study examined the concept and application of socially responsible investing (SRI). SRI permits investors to combine their ethical principles with the use of their savings and other assets (Bennett, 1992, p. 46). The guiding principle of SRI is to invest in firms whose products and services (1) do not harm society or the environment and (2) do create some positive effects for society.
Statement of the Problem
Although SRI has evolved into what has been termed as ?a full-blown industry of its own,? the concept and its application remain controversial (Bennett, 1992, p. 46, 48). The concept of a social responsibility for business firms continues to be resisted by many corporate.."

From the Paper
"Between April of 1990 and July of 1993, the yen "rose" from 158 yen per dollar to 106, a thirty percent rise in three years. Since Japanese wages didn't fall relative to those in the US, this meant that Japanese exporters, like Toyota, faced a comparable increase in their costs. In the North American market, this gave the Big Three a big competitive advantage, a replay of the situation of the late 1980s. This left the Japanese automobile exporters with three options: (1) to maintain current prices and allow for a significant decrease in profit margin; (2) to increase the price so as to maintain profit margins on car sales in the US or (3) to increase the price by less than the thirty percent change in order to maintain market share but with the result of minimally decreased profits."

Abstract
This paper explores the potential benefits of doing business in China. The paper begins with a background analysis of China's history and current economic, political and social status. The paper then uses real life examples to review the benefits in investing in what it says is one of the stronger of the world's emerging markets. As a number of Western companies are considering China as an appropriate market for long-term expansion, the writer uses the example of Colgate-Palmolive, one of the most successful consumer product manufacturers in the world, to illustrate the advantages of investing in China.
From the Paper
"In practice, most significant political decisions are made by a few key leaders of the Chinese Communist Party. Ministries or the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (China's legislature) formulate policy on day-to-day issues. Some provincial governments, especially those in fast-growing coastal regions, actively adopt local policy variations. Senior political figures generally agree on the need for further economic reforms and the need for political stability, but there are differences over the content, pace, and ending point of reforms."

Abstract
A personal essay about saving and financial responsibility. The author provides a framework of how to become financially active and responsible, how to save and invest and how to secure one's future.
From the Paper
"Financial security is something that all people want to obtain in their lives. There are many aspects that go into being financially secure. Many people in today?s society wait until later in life to start planning for their future. My goal is to have financial security throughout my life by investing and saving at an early age. I feel that one of the worst things that you could do financially, is to get into debt at an early age. When a person is right out of college, they should not spend more money than they need to and they should pay off their college debts as soon as possible. In my opinion, it is very important for an individual to make sure that their future is financially secure."
