"Two recent novels--Dogeaters by Jessica Hagedorn and Rolling the R's by R. Zamora Linmark--illuminate different aspects of the Filipino experience, the first set in Manila and so in the Filipino homeland, the second in Hawaii and so a reflection of the immigrant experience in America. Both works reflect the difficulty faced in the conflict between the old culture and the new. In both books, the older generation is tied to the culture of the Philippines while the younger generation is seduced by American popular culture. In Dogeaters, this conflict takes place in the Philippines as the powerhouse of American popular culture beckons to the young. In Rolling the R's, the conflict takes place in Hawaii as people who have immigrated form the Philippines are exposed even more directly to American life and culture. The themes of class conflicts, assimilation, and the.."

"The relationship between Judiciary and Executive/Legislature in a country like India has always been contentious. The 57 years of the working of the Indian Constitution has more than once seen a supremacy tussle between the Judiciary and Executive on one hand and the Legislature on the other. One of the most inextricable reason of such a tussle has always been the Ninth Schedule which has more or less met its fate with the I.R.Coelho judgment. However, for a deeper and an unbiased understanding, it would be better to start from the history of the Ninth Schedule."

Abstract
This paper discusses Thomas Malthus' views on the nature of the growth of human society in terms of population growth and food supply, through a review of his article, "An Essay on the Principle of Population" written in the 18th century. The paper claims that Malthus considered the psyche and morality of the society as an important consideration in predicting the populations of future societies.
From the Paper
"Thomas Malthus, in his discussion of the relationship between population increase and food supply in "An essay on the principle of population," proposed that his essay was an attempt to provide an explanation, though a speculative one, of the nature of the growth of human society in terms of its population and food supply. Working on the assumption that "population must always be kept down to the level of the means of subsistence," Malthus tried to bring forth his argument and position that this assumption was an ideal one. In fact, this assumption was proven not applicable with the histories of early societies in the Eastern and Western nations, as what Malthus proves in his discussion, wherein he stated that as the population increases geometrically, food supply increases arithmetically."

However, in today's world, characterized by ever increasing global competition, companies as well as governments put their emphasis on organized innovation in their strive for accelerating the process of obtaining technological advance. Organized innovation refers to innovations as the outcome of systematic investments in research and development (R&D) in order to achieve competitive advantage."

A Review of Christopher R. Browning's "Ordinary Men", 2001.
This review of Christopher R. Browning's "Ordinary Men" examines the Nazi soldiers' psyche during the holocaust.

Abstract
This paper reviews Christopher R. Browning's "Ordinary Men," and its analysis of Nazi soldiers that murdered innocent civilians in the holocaust. The paper shows the methods used by the soldiers to rationalize their actions even though many of them were morally opposed to what they were ordered to do.
From the paper:
"It is understandably commonplace to refer to Hitler as a monster, as inhuman. It is also, by extension, equally commonplace to refer to the Nazis who obeyed him as monsters as well. Yet before the implementation of the madness that was the 'Final Solution' in Germany and Eastern Europe, these Nazi soldiers were human beings like ourselves, individuals who lived in a world only a half-century or so before ours. They made ethical decisions on a day-to-day basis. They were ordinary men, according to Christopher R. Browning, who committed acts of extraordinary cruelty. The thesis of his book, appropriately titled 'Ordinary Men,' provides a less comforting view of the foot soldiers of the Holocaust than is tempting to take. But it is ultimately more ethically illuminating-these men were not monsters, Browning suggests, they were ordinary men who provide an example for us all how low we can sink if we are not vigilant in resisting the evil that exists around us."

Abstract
This paper discusses Huber essay that presents two extreme theories of population: the Malthusian Theory, a pessimistic viewpoint formulated by Thomas Malthus, and the Faustian Theory, the opposite extreme advocated by Dr. Faustus. The paper summarizes Malthus as saying that the world will out populate itself and Faustians as saying that through technology humankind will balance the supply to meet the population. The author states that Huber's essay is critical of the two extreme theories but does not provide his own theory.
From the Paper
"While Malthusians subsist to the pessimist view of mankind's fate, Faustians are those who subsist to the belief that contrary to the pessimistic Malthusians, who claimed that humankind will end in a catastrophe through famine or war (Thomas Malthus), or by natural disasters (neo-Malthusians). To the Faustians, the world and humankind will continue to flourish and develop. They predicted that instead of experiencing a downfall, humankind would develop even greater 'waves of technology,' wherein these waves of technology are said to have been "propelling huge increases in productivity and 'explosive' growth." Ultimately, Faustians declare that a fifth wave of technology is yet to come, which is through hydrogen "as an alternative source of energy that will save the environment." "

Abstract
There are very marked differences between the sexuality in lyrics and videos of Rap songs and R&B songs as a whole.

Instead, it is the purpose of this paper to examine the expression of sexuality in the lyrics and videos of six songs (three Rap and three R&B). The exploration will pay particular attention to the treatment and portrayal of women in these images and what they seem to be saying about gender and society.

Abstract
This paper discusses a case study reviewing the work of Thomas Malthus. Several research questions are responded to and the views of 3 contemporary authors are examined in reference to Malthusian theory. Finally, a newspaper article from 1999, just prior to the pivotal new millennium, discussing population, the environment and sustainable resources with reference to Malthusian theory, is examined in detail.
From the Paper
"Malthus' work, Essay on the Principle of Population, is often cited, first by Darwin himself, to have influenced Darwin's conception of the theory of natural selection. His work, though unpopular, and often proven to be off the mark, did in fact bring to the forefront many socio-economic issues that are still being debated today: population control, food production and concerns over uncontrollable diseases arising from the effects of over-population. In this passage it is stated that Malthus was proven wrong: "...Malthus' dire predictions have proven to be wrong..." (Efficiency and Equity 211). "
