Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce and discuss two novels as they relate to each other, ?Persuasion,? by Jane Austen, and ?North and South? by Elizabeth Gaskell. Specifically, it discusses the romance between Anne and Captain Wentworth from "Persuasion", and how it relates to the romance between Margaret and Mr. Thornton from "North and South".
From the Paper
"?North and South? was written almost fifty years after ?Persuasion,? and it is interesting to see how the two heroines have many similarities, and yet are very different women. Margaret and Mr. Thornton are also older, but Margaret is from the upper class ? she learns to move through different classes, and identify with workers and their problems, along with the problems of their managers and mill owners. "I don't mind ironing, or any kind of work, for you and papa. I am myself a born lady through it all, even though it comes to scouring a floor, or washing dishes" (Gaskell 116)."

Abstract
The following paper refutes the statement that slavery would have developed in the North if adventurers had landed in Plymouth instead of Jamestown by citing the varying ways in which people used the land as causes for either a wage-labor system or a slave-labor system. This paper will also explore the ways in which settlers viewed the landscape of the North and South as well as how the differing properties of each region;s land determined how it would be used by the settlers. Finally the writer discusses the ways in which the settler;s participation in a market economy led to uses of the land that differed from North to South depending on what sorts of crops grew on each type of land.
From the Paper
"By seeing the land as something to bring mankind benefit and profit to individuals, the settlers used to its fullest capacity and ended up causing serious soil depletion. Each farmer sought to make the greatest profit so that he and his family might have the luxuries that they desired. They weren"t so concerned with the preservation of the forests and wildlife as Henry David Thoreau was. Their view that nature was a hostile force to be conquered, subdued and profited from contrasted with his when he wrote, ;Before we can adorn our houses with beautiful objects the walls must be stripped, and our lives must be stripped, and beautiful housekeeping and beautiful living be laid for a foundation: now, a taste for the beautiful is most cultivated out of doors, where there is no house and no housekeeper; (Thoreau, 31)."

Abstract
A comparison of the lives of African-Americans during the early 20th Century which was influenced by their geographical location - North vs. South. The writer claims that even though they were very different lives, it does not mean that one was better than the other. The writer analyzes professional opportunities, cultural opportunities and social settings when doing the comparison.
From the Paper
"The lives of African-Americans varied considerably in the North and the South during the early 20th century. This is true from a legal perspective, a cultural perspective, and a personal perspective (i.e. from the psychological viewpoint of the blacks and whites dwelling in these two regions.) But because the lives of African-Americans in the North and South were different does not mean that one sort of lifestyle and set of constraints was better or worse than then the other. This paper will not take the position that the North was good and the South was bad. This is true even though the North had been the site of freedom from slavery for blacks throughout the antebellum period."

Abstract
This essay examines the struggles between the class and territory divisions within England, through Elizabeth Gaskell's novel, "North and South". Gaskell explores this theme through the characterization of the hero and heroine. The author includes ample discussion of symbolism and quotes from the novel.
From the Paper
"Throughout Elizabeth Gaskell?s Victorian novel, North and South, the struggle between the class and territory divisions within England is explored with characters that do not develop in large flashes of knowledge, but change and grow slowly over time. This more natural and almost imperceptible transformation occurs as the two main characters learn from their mistakes and mature slowly through their experiences. The heroine of the novel, Margaret Hale, and the hero, Mr. Thornton, learn to appreciate the differences between the Northern and Southern ways of life, and to break down class barriers."

Abstract
The divide between the North and the South has long been discussed by scholars. Matters such as the individual, God and religion, community, governance, wealth, and wilderness were all sites of difference between the attitudes of the two regions. The paper shows that perhaps no difference was more important as the nation developed than the way in which religion was viewed. It shows that in many ways the attitudes of the North and the South concerning religion shaped each region?s treatment of all the other issues mentioned above. By the outbreak of the Civil War, there was no peaceful way for the two sides to resolve their differences. This paper discusses the main differences between the way the North and South states viewed and practised religion.
From the Paper
"Those settlers who founded the colonies in the North were usually of Calvinist beliefs. In addition to their belief that all men were inherently sinful, these settlers generally saw themselves as being God?s chosen people in the new world. Their sense of collective responsibility was strong, and it was the basis for John Winthrop?s exhortation aboard the Arabella that the arriving colonists should conduct themselves ?as a city on a hill? for others to imitate (Winthrop 168). The Great Awakening of the 18th century reinforced the idea that the new Americans should have a proper relationship with God. In addition, the spread of Enlightenment thought led many Northerners to examine how they could combine their own intellectual abilities with their religious beliefs to do God?s work in America."

The Insufficiency of the Term "North-South Gap", 2006.
An analysis of the changing meanings of the terms used to divide the globe into different economic/political sectors.

Abstract
This paper discusses the obsolete definitions of "First World", "Second World", and "Third World" countries since the fall of communism, and presents the term that emerged later to replace them, the "North-South Gap". Developed countries in favor of capitalism were labeled "North", while countries with developing economies were labeled "South". The paper challenges the validity of this term, by bringing several detailed examples of countries that prove the definition inadequate. The paper concludes that the "North-South Gap" is losing its meaning due to a rise in global markets and economies.
From the Paper
"A major factor that comes into play when studying a country's economic status is the Gross National Product, also known as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is the annual value of all goods and services "produced" by a nation. According to the World Bank, the 2005 GDP values for the United States, United Kingdom, Austria,
Russia, Singapore, Thailand, Brazil, and India (in millions of USD) are $12,455,068, $2,192,553, $304,527, $763,720, $116,764, $176,602, $794,098 and $785,468, respectively. These figures show that, currently, India and Brazil have a higher GDP than that of Russia or Austria1. Thailand and Singapore are not too far behind with a combined GDP that falls just short of Austria's."

Slavery in the North and South, 2004.
An overview of the phenomenon of slavery in the northern and southern regions of America.

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of slavery. Specifically, it summarizes the true picture of the relationship between slavery and Americans of both regions, including the impact of racism on the thinking of all white Americans of this era. The paper contends that while slavery was dominant in the south and less dominant in the north and west, it was not entirely a regional issue. Beliefs and ideals differed in the north and south and not all residents of either area exhibited only one view of slavery.
From the Paper
"While it is common to believe that the South and all southerners supported slavery, and the North and all northerners were abolitionists, this is not the case. Throughout the North, there were many slave owners, and throughout the South, there were many people who did not believe in slavery. In addition, it is clear from the racial inequities that continued after the Civil War, that there was an overwhelming belief in the country that blacks, free or not, were inferior to whites. The South continued to persecute blacks, and the North continued to allow it to happen until 1964, when the Civil Rights Act was finally passed, nearly 100 years after the end of the Civil War. Many northerners may have disliked slavery, but that did not stop them from doing profitable business with southern slave owners, and even keeping slaves in the nation's capital, Washington, D.C. One historian notes, "Initially in Washington, slavery and the slave trade likewise flourished out of the public eye" (Davis). However, it did flourish right up until the Civil War began. It seems incongruous that slavery existed in the capital of the nation that ended up broken in two over the issue, but this illustrates that slavery was not just a southern issue, slaves were held in the North, too."

The Global South and the Global North, 2007.

Abstract
This paper looks at globalization and discusses how it has exacerbated the pre-existing inequalities between the poor global south and the wealthy global north. It illustrates how globalization forces some people (predominantly in the southern regions of the planet) to work while permitting other people (predominantly individuals residing in the global north) to become wealthy.
From the Paper
"To start with, it is commonly known that powerful multinational corporations in the global north habitually take their manufacturing operations from Europe and/or America and deposit those aforementioned manufacturing operations in global south countries where they can avoid the onerous regulatory regimes, high corporate taxes, and high wage costs they associate with the north. At the same time, the movement of jobs and plants to the south has the unhappy effect of not only costing workers jobs in the north but also of reducing the south to the subordinate position of being "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for multinationals that are looking for cheap human resources that can be utilized in a working environment that is more permissive than the highly-regulated work environments of America and/or Europe. A good example of this phenomenon can be found in the IT sector where skilled U.S. workers are losing jobs to individuals overseas (Sosbe, 4) - presumably because the "cost of doing business" vis-a-vis wage expenses is lower in global south nations which do not have a strong tradition of labor activism or of government involvement in employee-employer relations."

Abstract
It will be argued that while the culture in the south is profoundly ideological in its Korean nationalism, in response to both the presence of American forces and the lingering memories of the Japanese occupation, the culture of the north is essentially political in that all aspects of the life of the people are subordinated to the Juche system that reinforces the totalitarian regime of the "two Kims".

Abstract
The American Civil War was not caused by one single event or action, but rather a plethora of events that triggered one another, eventually triggering the first shot of the war. From the settlement of America and the formation of the Union to the secession of the Southern states, the North and the South were divided on many issues. This essay talks about the culture and society in the North and South in the antebellum era. Specifically, it discusses the religion, education, and transportation in the two regions, which led to political and economic disputes.
From the Paper
"In New England, immigrants traveled to the colonies as families and lived by the traditional patriarchal family structure. Women still married young and produced many children. The life span of New Englanders was also longer compared to southerners and consequently young women had less freedom of choosing husbands. Since most New Englanders were very religious, they placed a strong value on morals. Far less women experienced pre-marital pregnancies in New England than in the Chesapeake. Children also received stricter parental supervision since both of their parents were usually alive".

Abstract
This essay compares the institutions, public policies, economies and standards of living in North and South Korea. The author also gives an historical analysis of the peninsula's modern condition, including its relationship with China, Japan, the Soviet Union and the United States. In a larger sense, the essay addresses the argument between capitalism vs. communism, with North and South Korea providing an ideal case study unlike any other two modern states.
From the Paper
"The end of World War II brought a long-awaited, yet all-too brief calm upon the Korean peninsula. While Korean citizens celebrated the end of Japanese colonial exploitation, a feeling of uncertainty abounded concerning the arming of the 38th Parallel, which divided the people based on ideologies many Korean citizens did not understand. For the arbitrary division was not based upon political beliefs of most of the Korean people themselves, who were mostly poor, peasant farmers. Rather, the 38th Parallel was the result of a compromise between the two new world superpowers, which emerged after World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union. To this day, the Korean peninsula stands as the last of the countries divided after the war, and as a remnant of the Cold War. For that reason, North and South Korea provide us with a very unique case study: the socialist-authoritarian government of the north and the free-market constitutional democracy of the south."

Abstract
Argues against a quick reunification of North and South Korea. Adverse impact on South Korea and its economy of hasty reunification. Why the German unification model does not fit the Korean situation. Why time is needed to break down the economic and ideological barriers that have divided Korea into North and South. Sunshine policy.
From the Paper
"July of 2003 will mark the 50th anniversary of the truce agreement between North Korea (the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea) and the United Nations Command which has resulted in a divided Korea into South and North. Technically, the truce agreement did not bring about an end to the undeclared Korean War and so a virtual state of war still exists since an armistice was never signed to settle the dispute. The division of North and South Korean is one of the few remaining vestiges of the Cold War, and calls for the unification of Korea have intensified since 2000 when the South and the North took steps to advance the reconciliation and unity of the two Koreas. This paper will argue against a quick unification of North and South Korea on the grounds that it would have dire results for the South."
