Abstract
This paper explains that, although the U. S. failed to support the League of Nations, America supported the United Nations because the supreme national interest of America was to obtain a world atmosphere in which the United States could grow its inner social values devoid of undue commotion or danger from the outside. The author points out that collective action via the United Nations instead of unilateral action was considered politically viable on key political issues. The paper concludes that the League of Nations and the United Nations disappointed hopes the following the two world wars because, in no way, can they be an autonomous political power; at best, the U.N. is a mirror image of the opposing interest of autonomous states.

From the Paper
"In the United States of America the major disagreement on both the groundwork venture and the refined Covenant of the League of Nations had been on the base that the League would function as an intrusion with the sovereignty of America and with the Monroe principle, that it concerned desertion of the traditional American policy, which had not been in favor of entrapped coalitions, and that the government did not have the power, within its Constitution, to insert such an agreement . Independence has revealed to be just so much freedom of action on the behalf of countries as is coherent with their responsibility, within international law and principles, to authorize the application of uniform independence or freedom of action by their sister countries. The League agreement had assured all States in their application of this sovereignty free from coercion by other Countries, and he who desires more is actually in search of the authorization thoughtlessly to ignore these commitments -- to refuse, for instance, the fair rulings of a properly established tribunal -- which is the German perception of independence."

From the Paper
Inis L. Claude stated that 'One World' is in some respects an idea land an aspiration born of modern interpretations of ancient moral thoughts and of rational estimates of the requirements for human survival. Both the League of Nations and its successor the United Nations were created as international organizations with a vested interest in maintaining the peace, preventing war, creating a mechanism or set of mechanisms for international cooperation and diplomacy and otherwise serving as trustees of ...

Abstract
This paper discusses the failure of the League of Nations. The paper contends that the League failed because the major powers of the world would not support it. The paper goes further to explain that the governments of the major powers not only turned their backs and stopped listening to the League; they rejected it from the outset. The paper states that the failure of the League to accomplish their ultimate goal -the prevention of war- signalled its demise. The paper defines the League as an international experiment that was built with the best of intentions but only lasted until hostilities broke out across Europe a meagre 20 years later.

From the Paper
"Globalization throughout the world in the last century has necessitated the creation of an international governing body. The present day's United Nations and its predecessor, The League of Nations, have fulfilled that role since the end of the First World War. Before the Great War, World War I, there was no international body and no way to resolve conflicts that led to war. The destruction of the Great War had ravaged the entire world and showed the leaders of every nation that war was not helpful to their countries, even if they were victorious. These leaders desired to form an assembly of nations that could represent the world as a whole and assure the prevention of war. Woodrow Wilson, the President of the United States in 1919, was the biggest supporter of the idea of a League of Nations and he thought that the world's problems could be resolved peacefully in a diplomatic way.

Abstract
The League of Nations, which lasted from 1920 to 1946, was born out American outrage over the idea that Americans were sacrificing increasing numbers of men towards making the world safe for democracy while Europeans were concerned with potential war booty. This paper traces the beginnings of the League with Woodrow Wilson's "Fourteen Points", his intentional exclusion of Russia and Germany from the League and the part the League played in causing the Second World War.
From the Paper
"Americans distrusted foreign alliances after the revelation of the secret treaties and subsequent revelations that most of the horror stories of German atrocities that encouraging America's entry into the war had been fabricated in London. (Brinkley, p. 358.) Whether or not America's participation in the League of Nations could have prevented World War II is a matter of speculation, but Wilson predicted the possibility as he fruitlessly campaigned for his cause. The complex issues leading to World War II were based in the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles that included reparations of $32 billion. The forces in Germany that had pursued policies of world domination before 1914 remained powerful and expectant; the German right denied there had been any Allied victory."

"The following is a survey of the League of Nations, the predecessor to the United Nations which was created at the Paris Peace Conference after World War I. This survey will outline what the League was, why the United States -- after originally being the driving force behind the League's creation -- ended up refusing to participate in it, what successes the League had, and why it failed in the 1930s, leading to World War II.
In the aftermath of World War I, the "war to end war," the victorious Allied leaders were deeply concerned to ensure that such a war could not happen again. Among the means considered for preventing future general wars was the formation, for the first time, of an international organization that would embody the "world community," and that would act to restrain potential future aggressors. Such organizations had been proposed before, both..."

Analysis between the United States Army and the National Football League
From the Paper
"The United States Army and the National football league can easily be compared to one another. The similarities are most obvious in the way that training is handled. Both the Army and the NFL have camps to train the participants. The army has boot camp while the NFL has training camp. During these camps, one of the main goals is to get the participants in to good physical shape. This is done through repetitious exercising and putting the participants in the real life situations that they will be expected to deal with once training is complete. In addition, to the physical training of participants they are also taught camaraderie and the importance of teamwork. There is also hazing that is involved in both cases."

Marketing Research Proposal: NHL Fan Attendance, 2008.
A marketing research proposal aimed at finding ways to increase the National Hockey League's fan attendance.

Abstract
This marketing research proposal focuses on the question of how small- market National Hockey League (NHL) teams can increase fan attendance. Its objectives are to determine NHL fan demographics based on different regions, understand what fans want in their NHL experience, why potential fans are not attending NHL games, and where they are spending their entertainment dollars instead. The proposal concludes that is possible for small market NHL teams to increase their fan attendance with the right mix of marketing (promotions, prices, and product) based on the data collected and how the individual teams will use it.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"How can small market NHL teams increase fan attendance? The research problem should recognize the most specific issue facing an organization and the level of need. Why are small market teams struggling to fill arenas even though the overall interest in the NHL has increased since the lockout? Small market teams face many problems but increasing fan attendance would provide the following benefits: an obvious increase in revenue and return on investment, added value to the franchise, increase the interest in corporate sponsorships and also cause an increase in the external aspects of the team such as team merchandise and television ratings. SMRC will travel and analyze specific data for each of the small market teams in the NHL."

Abstract
This paper explains that the history of the League of Women Voters begins with the very inception of the Women's Movement and the fight for liberation in the United States. Carrie Chapman Catt founded the League of Women Voters in 1920 during the Chicago convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. The author points out that a central characteristic of the League is its inclusive attitude and its non-partisan nature, which provides an unbiased platform for debate and decision making. The paper relates that, since its inception, the League of Women Voters, which is organized at the grassroots level, has dealt with numerous issues covering a wide range of social, political issues, environmental and conservation issues.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Not only was the League of Women Voters constituted to continue the "mighty experiment" in women's rights and continue the work that had lead to the female vote; but it was also to "help 20 million women carry out their new responsibilities as voters." An important reason for the creation of the League was that Catt and many other women in the suffrage movement realized winning suffrage was only the beginning of the struggle towards full rights and privileges for women within society. They also realized that there was a large amount of education of women voters needed if the full liberation of women was to be achieved."

Delian League, 2007.
This paper examines the actions and the importance of the Delian League in ancient Greek history.

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at ancient Greek history and explains that the formation of the Delian league is a significant turning point in history. The writer notes that the Delian League was established soon after the victory won at the 'Battle of Salamis', when the Persian wars were fought. The writer explains that the Delian league was named thus because of the fact that its treasury was located at Delios. The writer concludes that the Delian League came to an abrupt end in the year 405, although not without leaving a significant impact on the history of the world, especially because of the fact that the Delian League is, even today, taken as an example by various organizations such as NATO.
From the Paper
"Why was it considered important to form the Delian League? It must be stated that there were several different causes, the more important one being that at that time, Sparta was regarded as one of the larger powers, and when the Persians, under Darius and Xerxes invaded Sparta, the city felt a loss of prestige and power. Added to this was the simple fact that the Spartans were not known for their strength of character or purpose, and the tide turned against Pausanias, the victor of Plataea, and the Ionians came to the realization that the Battle of Greece need never have been fought, but for the personal follies and foibles of this leader. When Pausanias was recalled to Sparta, the Ionian allies soon appealed to the Athenians, and when Sparta decided to send out Dorcis to combat Pausanias, it was discovered that Aristides was in unquestioned command of the allied fleet."

Negro League Baseball in Virginia, 2004.
An analysis of Negro League Baseball in Tidewater, Virginia.

Abstract
This paper examines the racial situation in Tidewater, Virginia, through a discussion of the Negro League Baseball. The paper describes this team as, like all the black teams, a reflection of black life in the United States. The separate but unequal status they enjoyed appeared as a ghost of the white teams. The paper explores the financial challenges that faced the league, claiming them to be no different than those of other black enterprises, from stage entertainment to boxing. The financial challenges, arguably more than skin color, are what kept them in the background, shadowing the growth of the American ball club. Like a shadow on a wall, Negro League Baseball in Virginia, as everywhere else, would disappear when the bright light of national fame finally shone on one of its members, Jackie Robinson.
From the Paper
"A report in the Norfolk Journal and Guide in 1917 paints a picture of racial harmony in Tidewater, Virginia, that would almost make one wonder why there needed to be Negro League Baseball. The banner headlines almost said it all: "Big Labor Day Celebration," "Thousands of White and Colored Laborers Paraded Streets of City." "Harmony Between Races" As that report told it, the celebration was a landmark of many sorts. In a relatively lengthy preface to the description of the baseball game that was the culmination of the day, it noted that "If carrying the stars and stripes is a demonstrative evidence of patriotism and loyalty to the United States, the Norfolk colored labor organizations can be styled as true friends to their country. The organizations were out very strong on Labor day [sic]. Several thousands together with the white Labor unions marched the streets of Norfolk in celebration of the day designated as their day throughout the country.""

From the Paper
"As a result of the tragic occurrences on September 11, 2001 the United States of America has seen a major influx of patriotism and civilian assistance/support. The country has not seen a mobilization of this nature since World War I and II. One group who did their part both then and now are the women of the United States. The following is the story of the All-American Girls Professional (Softball) Baseball League from 1943-1954 - a group of women who fought through the early notions that (feminine) women could not play the masculine sport of baseball - while at the same time benefiting the country in both the social and entertainment spheres.

This paper analyzes a study by Eric Pick called "The Economic Effects of a Salary Cap on a Professional Sports League" that attempts to develop and apply an econometric model to the issue. The study is based on a model that is limited, so the most that could emerge from it is a potentially useful formula to be applied on a broader scale than the two team universe addressed by the author and that may or may not be applicable to a variety of different types of sports leagues.
From the Paper
"The study by Eric Pick entitled "The Economic Effects of a Salary Cap on a Professional Sports League" is an attempt to develop and apply an econometric model to the subject at hand. The study is based on a model that is limited, so the most that could emerge from it is a potentially useful formula to be applied on a broader scale than the two team universe addressed by the author and that may or may not be applicable to a variety of different types of sports leagues. The same basic issues do apply to different types of sports leagues, and efforts to apply a salary cap have been part of major sports leagues for some time. In 1994, a threatened basketball strike led to an agreement that involved salary caps, among other provisions. In that case, as an end to the players' union was threatened, the players... "

A Proposal for the Future of Major League Baseball, 2002.
A paper which discusses why major league baseball should institute revenue sharing and a salary cap.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that now that professional sports have entered the 21st century, it is crucial that Major League Baseball institutes revenue sharing and a salary cap to maintain the competition between large and small market franchises. It maintains that with a dozen struggling, small-market ball clubs, constant discussion about contracting teams, and individual salaries skyrocketing over the payrolls of entire teams, the time has come where the owners and players must agree on something for the betterment of the game's future. The paper shows however that with continuous disagreements between the owners and player's union, and the threat of another strike, the negative effects may outweigh the positive.
From the Paper
"The Major League Baseball Player's Association is the strongest union in professional sports. The players would most likely strike if a salary cap was presented to them because most of the league's athletes would be faced with a reduction in salary (Smizik). It is believed that another strike would cause Major League Baseball to lose millions of dollars and possibly fan support. "It would take a long and bitter work stoppage for the players to accept a salary cap and it would simply not be worth it," says Smizik. Smizik believes a salary cap would help baseball's economic future, but is opposed because of the costs it will take to institute it. Baseball had a difficult time regaining fan support after the 1994 strike, and a second may be even more difficult to overcome (Smizik). However, true baseball fans will realize that the strike was necessary for the league's economic future, and will still support the game."

Major League Baseball (MLB), 2002.
A discussion of the economic conditions underlying major league baseball.
966 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 34.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines how Major League Baseball (MLB) generates $3.5 billion in annual revenues and how the economic turmoil the sport has undergone recently has attracted a great deal of attention both because of its huge fan following as well as the fact that it's an integral part of American culture. It evaluates how the range of different rates on return on investment for different teams is too large and blames it on competitive imbalances caused by a few very rich owners and a widening of what the industry classifies as "local revenues" . It shows how if MLB continues to see uncontrolled rises in its fixed and variable costs, several teams may just have to raise ticket prices, which will not bode well for an industry that is already witnessing demand elasticity and will likely, in future, experience price elasticity as well if raised ticket prices lead to a resulting negative trend in total revenues. It concludes with how MLB needs to be thoroughly overhauled using basic fundamental economic principles of controlling variable costs and providing a level playing field so that the performance of the smaller teams picks up and the demand to watch them win also grows.
From the Paper
"MLB is also subject to the concept of 'time cost' and consumer choice, at least perceptually given its discrete and isolated actions and long pauses as compared to the more action packed sports of football and basketball. This is especially true given the far faster paced lifestyles of today and is likely to have an even bigger impact in future as the natural effects of time and demand elasticity kick in as well over the longer run.
MLB's turmoil has also been caused by cash strapped owners who are probably feeling the pinch of the 'opportunity cost of equity capital' as a lot of owners are "...not as liquid as they were five years ago...annual losses rise to $10million, $20 million or more..." (MSNBC Web site)."
