Abstract
This paper explains that the People's Republic of Bangladesh (Bangladesh) is located in the northeast subcontinent of India. The author points out that a great geographic disadvantage and advantage of Banbladesh is that a large portion of Bangladesh is formed by the delta of three great rivers, the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna, which frequently flood but leave behind a great deal of fertile soil. The paper underscores that the government of Bangladesh has undergone numerous changes since it independence in 1971. The author stresses that, although its economy has improved considerably since becoming an independent nation, Bangladesh is one of the poorest countries in the world. The also paper relates that the Bangladesh economy is quite corrupt. The author believes that, despite its many various downsides, Bangladesh's economic status has a potentially bright future because of its strong economic and trade relationship with the U.S.

From the Paper
"According to estimates from last year Bangladesh's GDP is about $330.8 billion, while GDP per capita is $2,200. Taken from the same year the country's estimated real GDP growth rate is 6.1 percent, while the inflation rate is even higher at 7.2 percent ("The World," 2007). Current estimates state that, in order to significantly better the standards of living for its people, the country must experience and uphold a growth rate of at least 7-9 percent (usembassy.gov). Regardless of this statistic Bangladesh has made some very significant economic improvements in the past decade, which is proven by its surprisingly low unemployment (including underemployment) rate of 2.5 percent in 2006. Despite a few big steps in the right direction, however, the economy of Bangladesh still has much room for advancement. In 2006 exports reached about $11.17 billion, but the country imported even more, at $13.77 billion, making the trade balance of Bangladesh quite unfavorable ("The World," 2007)."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Democratic Republic of Congo, formerly known as Zaire, has been plagued with ethnic turmoil and civil war, exacerbated by the massive influx of refugees from Rwanda and Burundi, which has reduced a once prospering country into a state of turmoil. The author points out that there are over 200 African ethnic groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo of which the majority of these are Bantu. The paper explains that the U.N.'s Human Development Index (HDI), which is a composite of human development indicators, such as longevity, knowledge and education, and economic measurements, is a better system of determining living standards than the GDP alone; Democratic Republic of Congo ranks very near the bottom. Many graphs and charts.

From the Paper
"Currently the country is under a dictatorship and is presumably transitioning towards a representative government; however, this has yet to be realized. A 500-member transitional National Assembly, along with a 120-member Senate was installed in July of 2003. These members were drawn from groups that signed the Pretoria Accord in December 2002. Elections were scheduled to be held in June of 2005; however, these are not likely to take place. Instead, it is likely that the transitional government will remain in place until the early part of 2006. President Joseph Kabila heads this transitional government. The transitional government includes an executive president, four vice-presidents, and a cabinet that is drawn from five armed groups, the unarmed political opposition, civil society, and the previous government of Joseph Kabila."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Czech Republic was occupied by the Germans in 1939; this resulted in more than 350,000 citizens (250,000 Jews) losing their lives. After World War II, the Germans had to leave the Czech Republic. By 1948, communism was the style of government within the Czech Republic; this resulted in different economic and social policies than the Western world.
"Given this history, it is probably thought that there are major differences between the United States and the Czech Republic. The population is 90% Bohemian, 4% Moravian, and 2% ethnic Slovak. Sixty percent (60%) of the population consider themselves Christian, but is heavily influenced by the communist past, of atheism. "Czechs value education, cleverness, social standing, modesty, and humor", the combination of these traits make them somewhat different from Americans, ("Czech Republic, 2006)."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer argues that if Rome had not transferred power to one man it would have fallen far sooner then it did. The writer discusses the lack of centralized power in the rapidly expanding Roman Republic. It examines the reasons for the fall of the Roman Republic and why it was necessary for the Roman Republic to become the Roman Empire.
From the Paper
"The ancient Roman Republic, which was established with the expulsion of the last Etruscan king in 509 BCE and ended around 31 BCE with the start of the Roman Empire, was generally very successful, but especially toward its fall was plagued by internal and external conflict which would lead to the necessity of an Empire. When looking at an achievement of the Roman Republic such as its expansion of great amounts of territory, one can see that one main element the Roman Republic lacked was centralized power. This lack of a central power would eventually lead to great unhappiness among the masses and to the downfall of the Republic and the creation of the Roman Empire."

Abstract
This paper describes the situation in post-WWI Germany, the Weimar Republic, the challenges it faced, and the reasons for its failure. The paper looks at the lack of political support for the Republic, the weaknesses in its constitution, the heavy reparations Germany had to pay, and the overall political, economic, and cultural situation that contributed to the failure of the Weimar Republic and opened the door to the dictatorship of Adolph Hitler.
From the Paper
"After World War I, the German nation and its people were devastated. The public was led to believe that Germany was going to win the war, and it looked forward to a much- improved socio-economic climate. Instead, the war was lost and the country was facing a very dreary future. As a result, the government established the Weimar Republic under the leadership of Friedrich Ebert, a past leader of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and a supporter of the war efforts. Some historians believe it was fate that Weimar Germany did not succeed. From the beginning the challenges were too great, the situation too grim and the individuals involved too unprepared. As a result, Weimar Germany had a short and bumpy ride that combined the best with the worst: Culturally, it remains one of Germany?s most creative periods of time in art, literature and thought. Politically and economically, however, the country stayed in a state of disarray, opening up the door to someone who said he had all the answers."

"The CIA World Fact Book reports that after World War II Czechoslovakia was influenced greatly by the Soviet Union. Furthermore in 1968, ?an invasion by Warsaw Pact troops ended the efforts of the country's leaders to liberalize party rule and create "socialism with a human face." (Czech Republic) The Czech people staged anti-Soviet demonstrations and in turn they were oppressed by the Soviet region. In 1989 the Soviet authority finally collapsed and the nation was freed through the "Velvet Revolution." In January of 1993, the Czechoslovakia became two separate national components, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Encarta reports that the Czech Republic is a member of NATO and is attempting to compete in the global economy with world markets."

Philosophy: Plato's Republic, 2006.

Abstract
This philosophical study examines the theme of justice and the well ordered soul in Plato's Republic. By examining the basis of Truth in Plato's Republic, the paper realizes the foundation for justice within this city. Also, the objective of truth should relate to the basis of the soul, which should be guided by the principles of justice within Plato's ideology. In this manner, Plato's Republic identifies the basis of justice upon the foundation of virtue and truth within the well ordered soul in this philosopher's ideal city state.
From the Paper
"In this paper, the basis of justice within The Republic relies on the various facets of knowledge and the foundation for universal truths in governing. Plato and Socrates often agree that right and wrong often changes through the passage of time, but through a reference to justice, the Republic gives virtue and truth as the basis for honoring order. Through this construct of justice and order, the soul becomes the foundation for realizing the greater good of society. The well ordered soul is the key to realizing a universal truth that is unchanging and reliable. "

Abstract
This paper examines how the relationship between the Dominican Republic and the United States between the historical period of 1960 and 2000 was long-standing, sometimes mutually symbiotic, but more often than not, was sycophantic in nature on the part of the Dominican Republic and imperialistic on the part of the United States. This paper is concerned with the presentation of how the relationship between the two countries has evolved throughout the centuries and whether it has been for the better or for the worse.

The Dominican Republic Role
From the Paper
"President Ulysses S. Grant's appeal for the Annexation of Dominican Republic is without a doubt, one of the most important documents in the history of the bilateral relations between the U.S. and the Dominican Republic. It explains the position of the American President regarding the commercial viability of the Dominican Republic that the nascent empire looked to gain if able to annex this territory. This request to the Congress was delivered at a time when the Dominican Republic had just become an independent republic. With significant eloquence, Grant's address to the Congress responds to the question of why the U.S. should annex the Dominican Republic. This appeal was followed in December of 1870 by Charles Sumner's speech, who gave a rousing monologue on the Senate floor against the proposed annexation of the Dominican Republic."

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the injustice and suffering in the Dominican Republic, which is demonstrated in Edwidge Danticat's novel 'The Farming of Bones'. The writer notes that by writing her brilliant story, Danticat remembers this farming of human bones. The writer points out that the story is set in a terrible time during the dictatorship of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, where race, discrimination and politics are among its theme. Further the writer describes that the author illustrates a novel in which history and fiction are connected in a persuasive way to learn and critique the regime of Trujillo. The writer concludes by noting that discrimination and apprehension continue between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, where culture and beliefs are diverse in countries that share the same land.
From the Paper
"Edwidge Danticat concentrates in the history of Haitians cane workers, and the massacre of them in the Dominican Republic. Due to a growing xenophobia under the rule of Generalissimo Trujillo, the Dominicans were told to purify the country. Trujillo clandestinely arranged the massacre of hundreds of immigrants in the Dominican Republic most of them sugarcane workers from Haiti, the country with which the Dominican Republic shares the island named "Hispaniola". In Trujillo's approach, the Haitians immigrants, whom he considered them inferior people, because of their color of skin had simply become too abundant in the country. Thus, a wave of genocide which annihilates the Haitian population is justified."

Plato's "Republic", 2007.
A discussion on whether Plato's concept of a republic can be considered a utopia.

Abstract
This paper attempts to analyze Plato's "Republic" by simply answering the questions of whether or not the Republic is a utopia, if it can be brought into existence and whether it is realizable. While focusing on and answering the questions above, this paper also provides the reader with a basic understanding of the concepts and ideas conveyed by Plato in the "Republic".
From the Paper
" In the Republic, the words "mine," "not mine," "another's," and "not another's" will be applied to the same things throughout the community, for it is words like these that cause a disunion in society (Plato, "The Republic"). "In our community, then, above all others, when things go well or ill with any individual everyone will use that word 'mine' in the same sense and say that all is going well of ill with him and his. And, as we said, this way of thinking and speaking goes with fellow-feeling; so that our citizens, sharing as they do in a common interest in which each will call his own, will have all their feelings of pleasure or pain in common" (Plato, "The Republic").

"Women of the Republic", 2005.
An analysis "Women of the Republic" by the feminist historian Linda Kerber.
1,341 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the roles that women played in the establishment of the American Republic. It analyzes Kerber's work and explains that for women of the colonies, the world after the American Revolution was no more equal, in many respects, than the world that had existed before it. All men-property-owning men-may have been equal. But women remained under the new laws of the Republic, mere inferior beings, of questionable citizenship status.
From the Paper
"Again, this is not to deny Kerber's claim that American colonial women "imbued that domain with unprecedented significance... Motherhood assumed almost the role of a 'fourth branch of government,'" but merely to remind the reader that this ideology was in response to the larger world's intransigence, not simply a choice of women to shape their lives according to this model. (Kerber, p. 172) Nor is this to deny the vitality and creativity brought by American women to this ideology-but one can only long that such ideology was as freely chosen as the pro-freedom rhetoric of the Declaration of Independence envisioned men freely choosing their government leaders and rights. If only women's lives, one might long, could have been more influential in shaping the post-Revolutionary terms of its political discourse as well as domestic ideology, however powerful and important actors they served in the domestic sphere."

This paper examines the political history of the Dominican Republic from the early 1800s to present day. It looks at the various leaders and their impact on the country's development and political stability. The paper concludes that the country's development has been very unstable and has thus been kept from economical development. The writer believes that the Dominican Republic has a long road ahead with creating a developed state, but with all the great international support there is hope for its future.
From the Paper
"Most of the Dominican Community see Spain as "la Madre Patria" (the Motherland), this bring somewhat of a euphoric connection to the country causing a movement to migrate to Spain. There has been an alternative movement towards migrating to Spain because of the language similarities and visa exemptions toward Dominican Republic until 1985. An option to migrate to a Western European State such as Spain was an alternative to those who did not have family or other contacts in New York or the United States. The break down of Dominican migrants' population group: most migrants are female; most come from small villages of the Dominican Republic and have little or no formal education. When these groups journey to Spain, they come across being very isolated from the community and do not integrate with the Spaniard community. Xenophobic Spaniards exist within Madrid where most of the population views color of their skin, and difference of culture as a huge problem (New North African Immigration to Spain). The Embassy of the Dominican Republic official count of migrants reach towards 5,000 nationals, in an unofficial report they state that as many as 15,000 undocumented migrants live within the state (Dominican Migration). Dominican Immigrants mostly make up a part of the informal Market because in most cases those who migrate do it for Economic Prosperity. The two groups work in different ways when dealing with migrating to the U.S. and Spain, the Dominicans mostly women, tend to stay for a short period of time in the domestic house maid work for several months then leave back to the D.R. and open up a business in their home town village and men who migrate at a more limited bases for construction (Forging an Immigration Policy). In the late 19th Century to the early 20th Century the U.S. had a policy placed by Congress to apply for a visa that required a literacy requirements, and which also had a classification process in which the "undesirables" "from immigration were prevented from coming in such as convicts, lunatics, alcoholics, vagrants, and anarchists, among others." These policies were made to move cultures that were more likely to assimilate in the English language and mach the white American Anglo Saxon complexion and this did not favor Dominicans (Immigration Policy)."

Summary
From the Paper
"During the early 90s, the Czech Republic appeared to be one of the most successful post-Communist states. However, in 1997 financial turmoil began to rapidly deflate that image. The country suffered a currency crisis brought on by poor export performance and an unbridled surge in domestic demand (caused by a decreasing value of real wages.) Its failure to develop a successful capital market as well as its lagging enterprise restructuring led to government-imposed austerity measures which cut spending by 2.5% of the GDP. Experts concluded that the economy's troubles were the fault of the government's overwhelming influence on the privatized economy. Private firm mismanagement was also a problem. At the beginning of 1998, the country had entered a crisis condition."
