Abstract
This paper explains how a free market system helps promote and sustain a democracy. The paper describes how the market system of supply and demand functions as an engine for innovation and social progress and how the right to private property helps economic prosperity. The paper also looks at government involvement within a free market and democratic system and the important role that entrepreneurs play in that system.
From the Paper
"In a democratic system, such as that currently found in the United States and many European countries, a free market economy is crucial to overall growth and productivity, for within a free market, economic interests ?tend to band together to form labor unions, associations, and consumer organizations which enhance their own bargaining power while taking into consideration the profits and power of the giant corporations? (Schatter, 45), not to mention the ruling democratic government which often helps to foster and maintain the economies of any industrialized society. In such a free market system, citizens are allowed to keep and hold private property, bear the responsibility of ownership such as in a small business, strive for profit, and promote fair and equal competition. In addition, a free market economy within a democratic system promotes societal progress through national and international cooperation that advances the common interests by economic and political means."

Abstract
The paper provides a comparison and contrast of the societies and political cultures of the United States, Canada and Mexico as well as the media operations in each culture. The paper argues that while the U.S. model is influential in both Canada and Mexico, the similarities are closest between the U.S. and Canada in that corporate power blocks systemic media criticism of government. The paper contrasts this to Mexico where a more authoritarian political structure has historically resulted in more direct political control of media by government and political authority as opposed to corporate entities. The paper clearly shows how in neither of the three countries does the media - albeit in different respects - foster democratic values.
Outline:
Introduction
Media in the United States - Personality over Politics
Media in Canada - Politics and Culture
Media in Mexico - Absolute Convergence
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Political and media critics in the United States have argued that one of the defining features of American media's representation of government is its tendency to focus on personality over politics. This can be seen most clearly in presidents, as the recent presidencies of George W. Bush and Bill Clinton have revealed an extraordinary level of focus on one individual personality rather than the complex processes of government itself. In fact, this was a process that began with the era of television in the 1950s, when politicians became celebrities and their political power was closely intertwined with their media images (Schickel 201). Since that time, American political campaigns have been oriented towards television and the importance of the thirty second "sound bite" (Jackson et al. 129)."

Abstract
This paper traces the history and beginnings of the college organization, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), from its inception to its demise and looks at how the original members and subsequent members contributed to the philosophy and leadership of the organization. The paper also describes the heyday of SDS, as well as the probable reasons for its demise.
From the Paper
"These men, although dedicated, were ?from the upper end of the social and financial scale and in their schemes to redress national ills were rather more visionary than revolutionary; in common with much of the American left of the time, they saw the role of good socialists to be one of education.? His beliefs and position in life came down garbled to a writer in New Left Notes; in October 1968, an SDS member wrote that Sinclair had ?resigned as president of Columbia University because he considered the university system to be full of shit.? On several counts, the SDS writer was erroneous, not least of which the movement created by Sinclair et al, with excellent educations and excellent command of the language?not to mention more refined sensibilities?would have eschewed using such language to discuss the high ideals they proposed to educate America about."

Abstract
This paper explains that, from early philosophers such as Plato to economics' founding father Adam Smith and to Noam Chomsky and his economic and political criticisms, great minds have formed the concept of the free market system. The author points out, for example, that David Ricardo, born in 1772, established the labor theory of value and developed the concept of comparative advantage. The paper presents, as another example, Milton Friedman, born in 1912, who proposed that the predictive power of theoretical study was of higher importance than the assumptions with which one entered into research.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Plato
Adam Smith
J.S. Mill
Karl Marx
Thomas Malthus
David Ricardo
John Meynard Keynes
Milton Friedman
Noam Chomsky
From the Paper
"Noam Chomsky was born in 1928 and his primary studies and academic contributions have been in the field of linguistics. Chomsky is academically recognized for the Chomsky Hierarchy which is a type of classification system of languages relative to their generative power. Chomsky composed his seminal work, "The Logical Structure of Linguistic Theory", in which he established himself as a preeminent linguist. Yet, Chomsky's greatest contribution, perhaps, to economics has been his engagement of the political establishment and its economic and political policies."

Abstract
This paper begins by comparing the electoral voting system in the U.S. with that of other democratic nations. The paper explains that the U.S. uses the electoral college system, whereby each state is allocated a value depending on size and population, and then the state vote is collected to make the overall national vote. The paper then looks at other countries' systems, including Canada, Mexico, and Australia. The writer comments on why voter turnout in America is low compared to other democratic countries.
From the Paper
"One of the main differences between the United States election process and other democratic nations? in the United States? use of the Electoral College. In the United States, the Electoral College is the Constitution?s name for the provisions for electing the president. In effect, the United States Electoral College elects the president through individual simultaneous state elections, rather than through one national election. This Electoral College is comprised of electoral colleges in each state. Those electoral colleges are made up of individual voters, who are responsible for casting two votes each, one for president and one for vice president."

From the Paper
"Indonesia has seen a rapid growth in its economy in the last two decades which has inevitably given rise to a skyrocketing crime rate. These two factors alone suggest this nation is a potentially lucrative market for any American producer and exporter of high quality security systems. Currently, no high end or sophisticated security equipment including fire and burglar alarms, video surveillance, signal equipment, and a bevy of other types of monitoring or warning systems, are produced domestically. This lack of domestic security systems production means Indonesia's booming commercial and residential construction industry must rely on imports for incorporation into their building projects. It is true that government statistics for the period 1990 through 1995 have shown a slight decline in the importation of security equipment but this report will detail why this is a misleading ..."

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is easily the most recognizable stock market measure to most people."

Abstract
This well-researched paper, written as a proposal intended for a fictitious remote island in the South Pacific, details the basic principles needed to create a viable and prosperous democratic society. This paper contains selected texts from the U.S. Constitution, Federalist Papers and the Bill of Rights which are all crucial building blocks when instituting a democratic government. This paper also lays out a plan for creating an expedient and profitable economy by making use of existing resources such as land and agriculture.
From the Paper
"Given the fact that each state will have its own government for the conduct of its own internal affairs, Article IV is applicable since it contains provisions that pertain to the responsibility of the states to each other and of the central government to the states. This is an important part of the effort to conduct business in each region in such a way that the national interest will be upheld. I suggest that you adopt a similar set of measures to regulate internal affairs in the future as you become more involved in commerce with the rest of the world and with your neighbors in the Pacific."

Abstract
This study considers the changes in the functioning and roles of international stock markets. It reviews the history of the London and New York Stock exchanges. A greater number of Asian exchanges are included in this research, because of the significant growth in stock market activity in that region over the past decade. The functioning of stock markets is considered in terms of both structure and technological innovation. The current scenario and emerging trends within stock markets is also reviewed along with an investigation into current electronic trading systems. Intermediaries of electronic trading systems such as day trading are also considered. The argument then focuses on financial networks and the use of complex technology within the financial sphere along with the dangers of ICT. Recent cases of hoaxes, system failures and rogue trading are then analyzed while considering the role of ICT either as a catalyst or a direct cause of such crashes and losses. Furthermore, the case analysis used concludes that further research is required to substantiate this argument and makes some practical recommendations that stock exchanges and other electronic trading systems that can be considered while implementing ICT.
From the Paper
"The integration of stock exchanges and ICT has played a key role in the development of global financial networks. But the link between stock market crashes, insider trading, hoaxes, fraudulent practices and the role of ICT as the cause of such activity is poorly understood."

Abstract
This paper begins by describing the functions of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). It then looks at reasons for the Fed's historical preference for open market operation as a main tool of monetary policy and discusses three primary tools of monetary control. The writer also explains why the Fed does not utilize reserve requirements or the discount rate as part of its strategy and finally presents the strengths and weaknesses of the three tools of monetary policy.
From the Paper
"To many Americans, it may appear that U.S. monetary policy is the work of one man, Alan Greenspan, Chairman, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board (?The Fed?). But that is only because Dr. Greenspan, while certainly an extremely powerful and influential person, is just the most visible of a number of powerful and influential individuals serving on important boards. In the background, out of the limelight, are many other key players, including members of the Federal Open market Committee (FMOC) (which Dr. Greenspan also chairs)."
