Abstract
This paper looks at the nation of Singapore and provides information about its basic geography, exports, resources and imports. The paper also looks at the standard of living and general contentedness of Singaporeans. It then discusses whether or not tradition is valued in Singapore and how stable or unstable the national government is. Finally, the paper analyzes whether or not Singapore is "in line" with U.S. foreign policy - and how Singapore is important to the United States' foreign policy and national defense - and what general strengths and weaknesses it possesses. Ultimately, the paper illustrates how even the tiniest of nations can have major international significance.
From the Paper
"To close briefly, Singapore is an important country for America insofar as it is a wealthy and fairly influential member of ASEAN and because an enemy of the United States that gained power in Singapore would be geographically positioned to gain considerable power in the entire Southeast Asian region. In military terms, an enemy of America's that gained control in Singapore could threaten US naval and military installations in the Pacific - as well as the security of Australia, another strong ally upon which America has depended in the past. As a few final points, Singapore's proximity to China and to habitually-unstable Thailand is a very real weakness while the nation's greatest strength lies in its political stability and the fact that it is a prosperous land with strong business ties to the United States - as have a number of other Asian lands (Ramsay 2003)."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The national purpose of Vietnam is three fold. The first purpose that the nation has is to rebuild its highways, roads, bridges, trade industry and agricultural abilities that were destroyed during the conflict. This has been a steady goal of the nation since the 1970's.
The second purpose of Vietnam is to develop strong relations with the United States. The United States has recently become the number one trading partner with Vietnam. The exports and imports of the nations currently total $4 billion annually with growth on the horizon. The continued friendship between the United States and Vietnam is important as a national purpose for Vietnam as it continues to avoid China's watchful eye and wrath.
As long as Vietnam and the United States remain friendly and continue to build relations Vietnam will feel more comfortable if a face off with China ever occurs. With the US as an ally it is probable that China will think twice before making any move in the direction of Vietnam(Heitzman, 1991). "

Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between globalization and security using the state and the individual as units of analysis. It argues that globalization has varying consequences on different actors. The paper challenges the assumption that globalization has a direct impact on state security. It shows that global processes challenge state security in an indirect manner but have direct effects on human security.

Appendix
From the Paper
"Globalization can be seen both as a historical project and as a process that affects social relations of peoples, groups and states.(Bello, 1998) It is conceived as a historical conjuncture of the modernist project (McMichael 1996) that promotes the ideological framework of neoliberalism (Kinvall 2002: 5-6). The principles of free market economics constitute the policy package called the Washington Consensus - trade liberalization, financial deregulation, privatization, and inflation and currency exchange stability policies - which became the cornerstone of structural adjustment policies (SAPs) implemented in many economies. While Latin America and Africa have severely suffered from neoliberal globalization, Asia stands as an exceptional case of successful integration in the global economy (Dittmer 2002). Asia Pacific projected itself to the world as the most dynamic region characterized by growth with equity: rapid and sustained economic growth, equitable distribution of incomes, and dramatic improvements in human welfare (Rigg 2003: Table 1.3: 10; World Bank 1993)."

Database Security.
This paper discusses the goals of security and common security threats, including Microsoft SQL Server security techniques and web application security measures.
2,715 words (approx. 10.9 pages), 18 sources, APA, $ 81.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that database security is the protection of the database against unauthorized access, either intentional or accidental; security countermeasures should combat threats and the outcomes of such threats. The author points out that physical security means that a SQL Server system is running in a controlled-access environment in which only approved personnel have physical access to the system; whereas, appropriate physical security means that SQL Server should be isolated from web infrastructures and direct Internet access. The paper concludes that network and operating system security are not sufficient to defend against dynamic threats to a web application; therefore, database and web application server techniques are a necessity, but even with these extra layers of security in place, there's no such thing as a full-proof security system.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Access control prevents unauthorized persons from accessing a system to either obtain information or make changes. Like most databases, Microsoft SQL Server handles access control by allowing the creation of user accounts and passwords to control log-in. Additionally, Microsoft SQL Server supports the use of Windows NT Integrated Security where users are identified to the database by their Windows NT user accounts rather than user ID and password to access the database. Chapple states that this approach offers both the benefit of shifting the burden of account management to the network administration staff and it provides the ease of a single sign-on to the end user."

The History of Singapore, 2007.
This paper explores how Singapore developed to become the successful nation it is today.
1,401 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 46.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how Singapore was a British colony and then merged into Malaysia. The paper examines how a combination of political and ethnic differences between Singapore and the national government eventually led to a split, with Singapore separating from Malaysia and establishing itself as an independent nation. The paper reveals that since its independence from the Malaysian government in 1965, its economy has increased phenomenally every year. The paper shows how in the 1990s, Singapore became the most prosperous nation in Southeast Asia and so it has been projected to have a higher per capita income than many Western countries and to become among the three or four most prosperous countries in the world in the 21st century.
From the Paper
"Modern Singapore was acquired as a second trading post by the British East India Company in 1819 and earned initial economic success as an entrepot on account of the island's location, harbor and free port status (Sullivan 2006). From a mere center for trade and transshipment at the early 20th century, Singapore eventually evolved into a regional center for distribution of primary goods, mainly rubber and tin from the Malay Peninsula, for distribution of European manufactured good. When the British set up a naval base in the island after World War I, Singapore became a key element of the British Commonwealth of Nations' military defense east of India and this contributed the naval support industry to the island's economy."

Business Security, 2007.
This paper discusses whether a single security director should control both traditional security and information technology security.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper looks at the difference between physical security and digital/logical security. The paper explains the role of the traditional security director and the difficulties of setting up systems that are not tangible compared to setting up perimeter fences or deploying security guards across the facility. The paper examines arguments for and against a single security director. The paper concludes that the executive management is the sole determining group for whether security should be with two people or just one person. The paper is of the opinion that the current trend of having one person trained in both areas makes good business sense and will ensure a total security posture.
From the Paper
"In the days before the ubiquity of the computers and the Internet, security was confined to physical, personnel, communications and operations of a business enterprise or an infrastructure. The security director is the overall in charge of ensuring that barriers, locks and other mechanical devices are properly used to control access to the facility. Personnel are briefed and lectured on protecting themselves within the corporate premises and when they are out of the office. They are warned about corporate espionage, criminal elements and other nefarious individuals or organizations that can do harm to their persons or the company."

"The work entitled: "The Pattern of Innovation in Singapore's Manufacturing Sector" published in January 2003 reports a study of Singapore's manufacturing sector through use of the results of the first national innovation system (NIS) survey. the study reports that Singapore "has a long way to go in its development of an innovation-based economy" but that progression "has been made, with companies making visible efforts to engage in innovation activities." This is important because as stated by the report "innovation activity" has been found to be "positively related to sales volume, sales, growth, employment growth and internationalization." (Ibid) "

Security Costs For Airlines Post 9/11, 2002.
An analysis of the effects of extra security expenditure and security measures on airlines.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the rising cost of security and how it is hurting airline business in the United States. The writer describes how the price tag attached with extra security measures is bringing down major airlines that were already facing a dearth of business passengers and rapid cuts in the number of flights after September 11.
From the Paper
"United States government is not only anticipating more terrorist attacks in future, it is also asking its people to pay a huge price for this fear. While the government rightly wants to beef up security in order to protect its people from terrorist activities in future, the people are unfortunately being made to pay for these governmental plans. The price tag attached with extra security measures is bringing down major airlines that were already facing a dearth of business passengers and rapid cuts in number of flights after September 11. It is important to understand that airlines industry along with the rest of travel industry has suffered immensely after September 11 but the reason why it has failed to make a decent recovery is because government is consistently levying security surcharges, which most United States airlines cannot afford.

The Social Security System, 2005.
This paper discusses the elderly social security portion of the Social Security System (SSA) in the United States from 1985 to present.

Abstract
This paper demonstrates that the various programs administered by the Social Security Administration have played a vital role in helping the nation's economic well-being since their inception in 1935. The author points out that the fiscal problems being experienced by the Social Security Administration have become more serious because of a growing demand for benefits by a substantially larger proportion of Social Security recipients, who have paid taxes for this compensation, compared to the proportion of the economically active population. The paper stresses that these trends will be exacerbated as the existing "baby boomer" segment of the population begins retiring in the next few years. Many illustrations and tables.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed a committee to provide recommendations on an old-age pension systems and in 1935, Congress passed the Social Security Act that provided old-age benefits to be financed by a payroll tax on employers and employees (employees of railroads were already covered separately under the Railroad Retirement Act of 1934). Since that time, the Social Security Act has been periodically amended, expanding the types of coverage, bringing increasing numbers of workers into the system, and adjusting both taxes and benefits in an attempt to maintain pace with inflation rates. Today, Social Security policy directly affects more than 96 percent of the U.S. work force and their employers every pay period and more than twice as many workers are covered by Social Security as the number of individuals in the United States who own shares in mutual funds."

From the Paper
"The areas in which e-commerce has the potential to grow most in future include the small businesses. According to an October 2002 report from the Small Business Administration, seventy percent of America?s small businesses (defined as those with less than 250 employees) do not have a Web presence. It is obvious that the use of the Internet promotes the growth of e-commerce. In the past, the U.S. led the way in Internet adoption. Present trends indicate that Internet use is now expanding internationally. Countries in Latin America and Asia are angling to compete for business internationally. Hence, future growth in e-commerce would not be confined to the US. American companies can increase the integration of their supply chains to benefit from the international increase of Internet use."

"Introduction
From personal computers in the home used to track checking accounts and keep household inventories in databases to large supercomputers that control space missions and run the world's largest companies, computers have become commonplace. The number of individuals who have access to the information on those computers has increased as the communications industry has undergone a revolution in recent years, and uncontrolled access to information presents a very real threat in most business and some government information. Because of the highly significant role that computers play in modern life, there is a need to keep information on machines secure from tampering, from unauthorized dissemination, and from unauthorized removal. This research examines various threats facing society from inadequate computer security, and the prospect.."

Post 9-11 Security and Privacy in IT, 2005.
Examines whether privacy and security in information technology have any future after September 11, 2001. Presents an EU and non-EU perspective.

Abstract
This paper examines not only the data protection instruments but also encompasses various breaches, recognitions and provisions for the interests of national security that over-weighs/surpass dangers to individual privacy in information technology. Chapter 2 deals with the erosion of privacy rights due to Sept 11, and amounts to probably the most significant issue in recent history, as information privacy rights have been recognized for controlling the dissemination and use of data. Chapter 3 has a comprehensive analysis that everyone has the right to be protected under the law and no one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home, or correspondence. Chapter 4 studies means of private communications without the consent of the sender or receiver and deals with breaches of privacy. Chapter 5 reviews data protection instruments in EU and non-EU horizons. Chapter 6 elucidates shocking revelations against terror and a flurry of virus activity resulting in personal data of Arab males being made available to the police to protect data against the war on terrorism. Chapter 7 states the balance between privacy and security risks and suggests that privacy-invasive measures adopted have not been as effective in enhancing security as originally intended. Hence they should not be construed as rivals but rather two sides of the same coin. In Chapter 8, systematic surveillance of the citizen in both the physical and virtual worlds after September 11, 2001 is discussed in detail. In Chapter 9, the war on terrorism by the United States and its allies as well as the discussion and measures about the ways in which the world has changed is dealt with. Chapter 10 details the cooperation and mutual assistance in EU-US law enforcement, namely human trafficking, immigration, and refugees, visas, biometrics and passports, etc.
Chapter 11 addresses security concerns raised in the aftermath of the September 11 attack and interrelated issues involving the movement of people, security at the border and in the skies and various security models/gadgets as well. Chapter 12 gives details of how and why a fund was created for the compensation of victims of Sept 11. Chapter 13, last but not least, wraps up various issues discussed earlier and answers unanswered questions from the introduction.

From the Paper
"Privacy rights have always been something of a stepchild in the family of constitutional rights. Although interpreted by the courts to be one of our fundamental rights, it is not mentioned by name anywhere in the Constitution or its amendments because it is a passive right. Felt only when absent, it tends to get less attention. This is why it became the first constitutional right in the post-September 11 execution line. Whatever the case, we should all be concerned that what has happened to privacy can also happen to other rights. There is always tension in the system, but it was designed that way, and generally we do a good job of balancing the desires of the state with the liberties of the people."

Abstract
Countries have become unsure of their security and about their relationships with the countries that surround them. Since September 11th, a large number of scholars, scientists and political thinkers have started to analyze and provide their own theories on the U.S. and Iraqi war and state relations. One of these groups of political thinkers is the U.S. Commission on National Security of the 21st Century. This Commission discusses and analyzes the problems in the world, specifically concerning the United States and the concerns of the changing world. The Commission has strove to provide critical theories and interpretations of what the United States should do in response to the changing world security environment. This essay addresses the Commission's response, as well as the response provided by President George W. Bush's administration of national security strategy by comparing both documents and noting the merits and criticisms of them. A final wrap-up summary is also provided.
From the Paper
"The three primary concerns of the introduction are: defence against enemies, cooperation with other nations in curtailing others from gaining dangerous technologies, and lastly, the encouragement of democracy and economic openness in all nations. It concludes by insisting that other nations should respond to terrorism and threats in the same offensive manner as the United States, calling for collective responsibility and "accountability." On the other hand, the CNS's introduction for Phase I suggests the same problems are facing the United States and the world, and calls for a similar approach as the NSS, emphasising "economic growth, regional integration, and global political cooperation." A key line for distinguishing the languages in each document is the CNS's suggestion that "active American engagement cannot prevent all problems," while the NSS is much more optimistic with regard to that idea."

Abstract
The paper discusses safety and security issues in the workplace. The work-related injuries that are common in the office environment are things such as muscle pains and arthritis pains. The writer gives suggestions of how to minimise these problems. The writer details the security system used in the call center, whereby employees need to scan their badges before gaining access to various areas of the building. In conclusion, the paper explains that if a company correctly addresses safety and security issues, it will not be likely that any serious incidents will arise.

From the Paper
"A second direction for safety awareness concerns emergency preparedness. Threats to the safety of our employees can come from disasters such as fires, which would force the evacuation of our building. In order to prepare for such a situation, the entire office building (including the companies in the seventeen floors that our company does not occupy) has a fire drill on a regular basis, preceded by a fire safety program that is hosted by building safety experts. During the drill, everyone in the company must respond to the fire alarms by descending down the stairs and assembling in a previously specified "safe spot" for a head count. A few people from each floor are designated as monitors in the case of an emergency, and these employees make sure everyone evacuates safely before leaving the building themselves. Employees usually gripe about these fire drills being troublesome and taking too much time out of their workday, but it is absolutely necessary that everyone know what to do in case of an emergency so that if a fire really does threaten our safety, panic can be kept to a minimum, thus increasing the chance that everyone will get out of the building unharmed. In this case, safety concerns very clearly outweigh the minor inconvenience that employees face."
