Conclusions
From the Paper
"The amazing economic development in countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore over the past fifty years has been accompanied by an intense interest on the part of governments in those nations in fertility issues. The nations experienced rapid population growth for much of the last century, but as much of that growth was driven by rapidly improved medical care and other aspects of development that worked to prolong life. The governments therefore implemented education policies designed to encourage people to wait until later in life to marry and to have fewer children. Such family planning worked to slow the fertility rates so that the population growths were slowed and eventually leveled. In other nations such as Vietnam and Laos, where economic development and education did not go hand in hand as expansively and rapidly, the population growth rates seem to have taken longer. This suggests that economic development can work to increase population, but that the growth can be curbed if it is coupled with social and education development, so that modernization is treated as a comprehensive program (Jones)."

Abstract
The paper explores the impact that rapid population growth is having upon the cultural, political and economic geography of South Asia. The paper looks at India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bhutan and evaluates which regions are dealing most effectively with the perceived demographic crisis. The paper discusses the political and social consequences of their failures.
From the Paper
"To start with, our course readings inform us that south Asia is afflicted with grinding poverty and with all the health, nutritional, and poor educational attainment problems associated with poverty. At the same time, the region is crowded, with 22 percent of the planet's population crammed into 3 percent of the planet's land area (de Blij & Muller 2001). As one can well imagine, social maladies like unrest, resentment and criminal activity can quickly ensue and grow to tragic dimensions if something is not done to first stop the population growth and, secondly, the ugly social problems besetting the geographic region."

Abstract
This paper details the steady increase in the world's population in the last 100 years and explains how the advancement of modern medicine has allowed people to survive longer with cheaper, effective treatment. It explains that it is not just the West who can enjoy these benefits, many poorer countries have improved and more accessible healthcare, resulting in longer lifespan and improved reproduction.
From the Paper
"This steady population growth has dramatic consequences on the world, some good, and some bad. The benefits of having more people on the planet means that there is a greater pool of labour, and we can see that it benefits big companies such as Nike who set up sweat shops in countries in Asia and Africa and who exploit the large number of unemployed people. But one of the biggest criticisms of having a large population is the environmental impact it has on the planet, having more people in the world leads to more demand of resources, some of which are depleting rapidly."

Abstract
The paper discusses how training and forming executives, at all levels of the company and no matter what the size of the organization, is essential in today's continuously competitive marketing environment. The paper explains that executive development ensures leadership in a corporation and leadership ensures the success the company will have in the marketplace. The paper looks at present of executive development and also explores future trends in executive development. The paper concludes that executive development is one of the growing concerns that organizations are likely to face in the future.
From the Paper
"For a long period of time in the past, leadership was often equivalent to a patriarchal figure, often founder of the company, who transmitted his knowledge to the people in the hierarchy and passed on leadership to the new executives of the corporation. Examples can range from Henry Ford to Sam Walton and to Thomas Watson Sr. at IBM. Executive development was not regulated in any way within the organization and it generally meant that the leader and founder taught the younger executives the leadership trade."

Abstract
This paper examines and analyzes demographic trends and indicators of the ever increasing Hispanic community in the United States. The assessment is that the community will be as large as the African-American community in the near future.
From the Paper
"Researchers in demographics have persistently foretold that the rapidly growing Hispanic population would inevitably develop into the leading minority group in the United States. Updated data released from the 2000 census reveal that this belief is fast approaching actualisation. The data indicates that America?s Hispanic population grew by 58% during the 1990s, putting Hispanics practically equal with African Americans as the country?s biggest minority group. Most demographers predicted that the Hispanic population would equal or exceed African Americans by 2005. But that may occur sooner than initially anticipated. (Travierso, Maria., 2001, 1) How has this approaching dominance among minorities occurred and what does this mean to the U.S. population at large?"

Abstract
This paper argues that the seemingly disparate trends in the American construction industry are in fact related by the geography of modern employment. Our booming technology-based economy has focused its growth in urban areas, leading to skyrocketing housing prices and urban sprawl while simultaneously leaving construction employment and nationwide building trends dormant.
From the Paper
"In 1982, total construction receipts for single-family homes totaled $5.3 billion. By 1997, receipts had grown to an inflation-adjusted amount of $7.9 billion. This 60% increase is significantly less than the overall growth in construction in the United States in that time period, which almost tripled from $313 billion to $835 billion(US Census Bureau, 1982, 1987, 1997). The causes underlying this startling difference are hard to pin down, but a large part of the blame can probably be ascribed to the significant depression of the late eighties and early nineties. The high interest rates and high inflation figures of the era scared away new home buyers, while government investment in the private sector spurred other aspects of construction (Econedlink, 2000)."

Abstract
The paper reveals that trends in culture are reflected in the public's perception of drugs and their usage. Therefore, the paper stresses that the social and cultural aspects and perceptions of drug usage are an important part of understanding drug trends. The paper discusses the drug trends of the past and notes that today the public is becoming more aware of the dangers of drug abuse. This is evidenced by declining drug usage rates in many sectors of the population. The paper points out, however, that this is countered by the alarming trend of increasing drug usage among very young children and the abuse of painkillers. The paper emphasizes how drug abuse is often unconsciously aided by social norms and trends. The paper concludes with the hope that the recent decline in drug usage is an indication of a new trend of mature awareness of this problem.
From the Paper
"Drug usage in America has been an endemic part of the cultural fabric of the society since the early years of its history. Drugs played a part in the social exchange between the early colonists and the indigenous inhabitants and alcohol was also an ever-present element of America's early cultural history. For example, "As early as 1585, members of the first settlement on Roanoke Island achieved some success brewing beer from Indian maize." (Tracy and Acker 3) In the Jacksonian era alcohol was commonly brewed and distilled and was also used for the medicinal purposes. (Tracy and Acker 3) Alcohol is in fact is an important element in understanding the historical trends in relation to other drugs, as it provides an underlying rationale for the social acceptance of drug taking."

Abstract
This paper looks at the underlying trends of each population growth factor separately, particularly the immigration factor. It includes several graphs and in-depth data of the population in the United States as a whole as well as divided into sectors. It gives an historical overview of the Hispanic immigration from its origin until the present day. Finally, it concludes that the Hispanic population will continue to grow rapidly into the largest minority group due to their immigration and birth rate.
From the Paper
"Researchers in demographics have persistently foretold that the rapidly growing Hispanic population would inevitably develop into the leading minority group in the United States. Updated data released from the 2000 census reveal that this belief is fast approaching actualisation. The data indicates that America?s Hispanic population grew by 58% during the 1990s, putting Hispanics practically equal with African Americans as the country?s biggest minority group.

U.S. Population Control, 2006.
This paper argues against the institution of population control in the United States.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that there are three very valid reasons why the U.S. should not engage in any activity that limits population: (1) The world's growth rate is slowing and there is a vast difference between "population control" and family planning; (2) the idea of population control may be racially and ethnically motivated and, (3) more morally important, the government has absolutely no right to control conception or birth much as Communist China has done in its two-children family regulations. The author questions who would be selected or appointed to head such a Population Control mandate were it ever to come to pass and who would do the appointing? The paper supports population protection and education but never population control.
From the Paper
"In a now infamous and declassified document issued under the signature of Henry Kissinger in 1974, he sent a memorandum to the Secretaries of Defense, Agriculture, the Director of the CIA, the Deputy Secretary of State and the Administrator for the Agency for International Development, stating that "The President has directed a study of the impact of world population growth on U.S./ Security and overseas interests..." It is the first known document that spells out the fear of some American politicians for world over-population, not so much what it would do to those nations, but how over-population might harm the "interests" of America."

Abstract
This paper discusses how population growth presents one of the largest challenges to the environment of any of the potential problems human beings pose towards nature. It looks at how the problem of over-population presents itself in a variety of different forms such as air pollution, chemical dumping and the greenhouse effect. It argues that we must work together as a global community and as nations individually to promote positive methods of producing responsible population stabilization, and in some cases negative population growth.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Population growth must be considered as an exponential increase rather than a linear increase. A liner increase is when a number is added to the previous number to create a larger number. Exponential increase multiplies instead of adding the new number to the previous number. Population growth moves in this pattern because of the natural reproduction of families. In traditional nuclear families with two and a half kids the growth should be about the same. However, if a couple has eight children, which is not totally unreasonable, the population of that family is now four times as large. In this way, population increases geometrically or exponentially.

Educational Trends in U.S. and Europe, 2005.
This paper is a research proposal to compare educational trends in U.S. and Europe.

Abstract
This paper explains that the objectives of this research study are to compare the U.S. educational system with the European educational system by identifying (1) three major trends in education today and (2) the critical factors relating to education, which are most likely to improve student performance in the future global economy. The author points out that current studies indicated that time and time again European students score better than American students on critical subjects including mathematics and the sciences; however, the extent to which this discrepancy is relevant is debated by numerous researchers, who claim that a liberal arts education as more frequently encouraged and offered in the United States, is more important than a strictly science-based education. The paper proposes a qualitative study, based on the analysis of documentary data, systematic observation of behavior and in-depth small groups interviews using a questionnaire and a population of 20 professors from select universities and of 10 teachers from local high schools.

From the Paper
"Part of the reason may be European instruction is more vigorous; there are many curriculum differences that should be examined. Students in the United States generally have the option to take classes that are considered rigorous, such as calculus, chemistry and physics to complete high school, whereas European schools generally require at minimum three years of native language, math, foreign language, physics, chemistry and biology. The U.S. system is based on the notion that education should be more flexible, allowing for personal choice and directions, whereas the European system is considered more focused on academic rigor, which is "a consequence of the educational traditions of the Old Continent."

Abstract
This paper studies the effect of female literacy on population growth. Using the 2SLS model, this paper establishes a negative relationship between the two. A comparative analysis of the two states of India, Bihar and Kerala, reveals the same trend. However, the paper brings out the subtle differences in the social ethos of these states. The paper distinctly establishes the dominant role of female literacy in population control and recommends suitable priorities to public policy planners

From the Paper
"The past decade (1991-2001) has been a watershed for India in more ways than one. While this decade saw the boldest economic reforms in India?s history making it possible to emerge from the Hindu Rate of Growth, the decade also witnessed the sharpest decline in population growth (2.52% points, See Chart 1) coupled with the sharpest increase in female literacy (14.87% points) since Independence. A somewhat similar feat was achieved by the Indian State of Bihar for the period 1991-1997 where it registered a high literacy growth with the sharpest expected decadal decline in population growth (1.68% points) . Unfortunately, after 1997, unprecedented political instability led to the State slipping on these indices so much so that it finally registered a dismal performance on both the fronts of female literacy (lowest in the country) and population growth ( 2.8%, which is higher than the national average of 2.1%) for the entire decade (1991-2001) taken as a whole. An exceedingly good performance in this area (both at the national level and the State level) has prompted me to explore whether literacy (particularly female literacy) carries a more direct bearing on population control than other methods such as mass media campaigns, family planning, and sterilization."

What Gay and Lesbian Travelers Want in a Hotel
Why Market to Gay and Lesbian Travelers?
How to Market to the Gay and Lesbian Population
What Others are Doing
From the Paper
"One of the most significant developments in the travel industry, particularly as it applies to hotel management and marketing, is the recent trend aimed at attracting gay and lesbian clients. This trend developed as marketing research showed that gay and lesbian people are more likely to travel, and have more disposable income to spend when traveling, than the general population does. Thus, this group of individuals, who for decades was regarded as a niche travel population that only gay or lesbian-only travel marketing niche catered to, is now a mainstream market within the travel industry as a whole."

Abstract
Organizations must be willing to adapt or change in response to trends in the marketplace. This paper looks at how these trends include shifting demographics, new technologies, competition and changing social values. The paper also looks at how, in reaction to the external forces, high-performance organizations have emerged. Other trends in organizational behavior such as the influence of ethics on decision-making and the impact of technology on work-related stress are also detailed.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Success in any work setting depends on a respect for people and an understanding of human behavior in complex organizational systems (Schermerhorn et al, 2005). Understanding the human behavior is especially important when trying to manage and develop people to make ethical and savvy business decisions on behalf of the organization. Most people will agree ethical behavior is defined as behavior that is morally right and good as opposed to wrong or bad. However, the consensus of what is ethical pertaining to a specific action will often vary from person to person."

Population Distribution, 2005.
A discussion and analysis of population distribution in the United States.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses several aspects of the United States population distribution and how the population may change in the next five to ten years. It explains that the population distribution in the U.S. is an interesting mix, with most people living in the urban centers of the nation, but enough still live in the heartland and western areas to make the population diverse and spread out.
From the Paper
"The population of the United States in mid-2004 was 293,633,000. The population distribution of the United States, in general terms, is located mainly along the coastlines, with the interior of the country being less populated than the East, West, and Gulf Coasts. In fact, the Population Research Bureau notes, "More than half the U.S. population lives within 50 miles of a coastal shoreline" (Editors). This also holds true with the Great Lakes region and along the Mississippi River. Population centers such as Detroit and Chicago are located along the coastlines of the Great Lakes, and centers such as Saint Louis are located along the Mississippi. Generally, distribution is heaviest East of the Mississippi, and then there is a wider gap until reaching the West Coast and desert southwest. While the population density of the U.S. is only 79 people per square mile, this statistic does not give an adequate picture of the population distribution, because there is so much of the country that is inhabitable because of terrain, inhospitality, or bodies of water. In addition, 79 percent of American people live in urban centers, which means only 21 percent live in the rural areas of the country."
