"The Position of Asian Americans in the Bay Area Political Economy
Introduction
Historically, the Asian American community of the Bay Area which numbers well over one million people, has had trouble organizing itself into activist collectives and learning to speak with one voice (Lee, 1994). During the last several months, events have forced the disparate community to put aside certain cultural and ethnic differences and join forces to fight a formidable foe the modern, American metroplex. This paper studies the Asian American population of the Bay Area in three main parts. The first section provides a statistical overview of the Asian American population. The second section discusses two recent events which have had a major impact on the Asian American community. The third section shows how those same events have ..."

Abstract
An analysis of how both minor and major faults can lead to earthquakes. The paper includes a summary of the background of the Bay Area and explains how not all the earthquakes are found in the regions where the major faults lie and notes there are also unmapped faults. The paper discusses how the area not only demonstrates historical significance with regard to earthquake activity, but it is a region of the nation that has recurring earthquakes on a daily basis, though small in scale.
From the Paper
"There are seven major faults in the San Francisco Bay Area. These faults become active through the "strike slip motion" of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates ("Working"). Research contends that, Although most of the present-day seismicity in Bay Area generally follows the major faults (San Andreas, Hayward-Mission Creek, Concord-Calaveras, and Antioch faults), a significant fraction occurs in the large (8 km) right-step-over region between the Calaveras and Concord faults and along the Mt. Lewis seismic zone. In addition, numerous earthquakes locate in the regions between the major faults and seismic zones and appear to lie on either the minor faults or on unmapped faults ("Bay Area"). Although these major faults have historically played a role in the major earthquakes that have affected the San Francisco Bay Area, scientists now conclude that at any time minor faults could create..."

Bay Area Armenian Church Community, 2006.
A look at the Bay Area Armenian Church in the United States and how their focus on Armenian history and the 'old country' may be inconsistent with life in the United States.

Abstract
The Bay Area Armenian Church community is a close-knit one. It would seem that this community could hardly be otherwise, given the history that the people of Armenia have experienced. The Armenian genocide, the oppression of communism and the Soviet Union, and the fall of the Shah of Iran all had great impact on the Armenian Christian community in the United States. These interactions are frequently seen through social, religious, and political events that often revolve around the focal point of the "old country." Armenian history is a frequent topic at these events, as is the future of Armenia. Given this background information, this paper considers how such a focus on historical Armenia can be consistent with life in the United States. Related to the first question, the paper also considers how this history affects the modern Armenian faithful in the United States.

Abstract
This paper presents a summary of an article entitled "Break Free From The Product Life Cycle" by Youngme Moon (May 2005, Harvard Business Review). The article presented insights into some creative marketing methodologies that could help businesses and marketers redefine products and industries as they pertain to their life cycles.
From the Paper
"But more importantly, the author also demonstrated how these repositioning approaches forced consumers to do what could be considered to be complete mental shifts. By providing examples such as IKEA, Swatch, Sony and more, the author offered a 'tried and true' business example of how his line of reasoning on product positioning and repositioning worked. The author also presents the notion that many more companies should follow in the footsteps of his chosen organizations in order for them to also reap the rewards and find success in a highly competitive, technologically advanced global business spectrum."

From the Paper
"Rivalry within the industry is high, for several main factors. The market for Groceries in the UK is a mature industry, with growth rates below that of GDP and spending. This lack of growth is promoting competition, as the businesses within the industry strive to retain their own customers, and to increase sales by poaching those of their competitors. The industry is also characterized by high level of fixed costs associated with an industry that has to spend very large sums on premises and significant sums on supply chain technology, such as EPOST and networked JIT (Just in Time) supply solutions."

Lee Jacobs' Article: "John Kenneth Galbraith: The Position of Poverty", 2008.

Abstract
This study critically analyzes the idea of case poverty and insular ioverty in the article "John Kenneth Galbraith: The Position of Poverty" by Lee Jacobs. The paper explains that, by understanding the different types of poverty that keep many in the lower echelons of society, Galbraith positions that case poverty is a real concept in determining those that cannot function effectively within society. The paper further suggest that, by critical evaluating this concept, one can argue that Galbraith shows a great deal of insight into poverty, and what factors keep members of a population in the lower classes through government intervention. The paper then applies this concept to the poor in Southeast Asian countries.
From the Paper
"These ironic features that are contained within economic barren areas reflect the way that governmental development influences what is to be deemed insular poverty. For instance, if a country like Cambodia has resources in rice, a lack of government development could make Cambodia behave within Galbraith's definition of insular poverty without geographical isolation. ...
"This factor further helps develop the terms of poverty that are imposed upon people, through the so-called insular factors of poverty."

From the Paper
"The Former Soviet Unions, (FSU), position in world politics today is the product of many major issues that started to occur immediately after the ?Cold War?. This essay will try and analyze those issues along side more current ones in establishing the principle factors contributing to the FSU?s current position in world politics, and what significance they hold. In order to achieve this, I will be looking into the influence of many regions of the globe. Europe will be a major focus point, as it seems to hold a major stake in what goes on in the FSU?s territory. Weather the geographical position of the FSU in relation to it becoming a ?corridor? between Europe and the Far East is of any importance will be looked at. Also the magnitude of the task being undertaken both by the FSU and the rest of the global ?stakeholders? will be analyzed."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at social class and how it is widely believed that this consists of the two elements of the wealthy and the poor. The writer maintains that while it has always been the belief of the poor that individuals are capable of overcoming their lower societal ranking, the structure of society prevents this from occurring through the hierarchy's control of the economy. The writer further discusses that while man may obtain material value and consistently believe he is working toward a higher societal placement, his or her social position is permanently determined once the individual enters the production of the world.
From the Paper
"Throughout sociological thought it has been contended that social class consisted of two primary elements. These elements include the wealthy and the poor. The wealthy controlled government, production and the manner in which people exist in the social order. While it has always be the belief of the poor that individuals are capable of overcoming their lower societal ranking, the structure of society prevents this from occurring through the hierarchy's control of the economy."

America's Position in the Arab-Israeli Conflict, 2002.

Abstract
This paper examines the U.S. role as a superpower in the Arab-Israeli conflict and the position that the U.S. has taken throughout. American policy is analyzed in light of its respective relationships to the Arab world and to Israel and the Jews.
From the Paper
"As World War II drew to a close, and the planet was forced into a recalibration of unprecedented proportions, the United States began its long emergence as the most expansive super-power that had yet been known. Its influence, that would compete virulently with the post-war Soviet influence for half a century, has since disseminated into every facet of the geopolitical theatre. As such, American support can operate as the determining factor in the success of a national agenda. Likewise, American dissent can be the stifling roadblock that sets nations adrift in failure and, consequently, resentment. So it's important to acknowledge that a nation's complaint of American neglect is more than just the bitter rhetoric of the disenfranchised. The emphasis placed on American approval and volition is fairly justified when one considers the weight and implication of the US stance on any given topic. And it's certainly fair to say that American intervention has been as significant a factor in the Arab-Israeli conflict as have been the opposing belief structures characterizing the two sides. As such, it's also reasonable to suggest that, as present evidence would purport, Israel's ascension to power and success in spite of violent opposition from all of its borders, could only be an indication of America's intense support."

Aristotle's Position on Equality, 2000.
An analysis Aristotle?s position on equality.
2,922 words (approx. 11.7 pages), 4 sources, $ 86.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines Aristotle?s position on equality by first discussing Aristotle?s overriding criteria for evaluating human life and human action, which is his notion of virtue and the good life. Second, the paper discusses the implications of this virtue for men living together in society, and society?s prime construct, the state. Third, the paper discusses the argument that equality is requisite for the achievement of virtue. Fourth, the paper discusses the argument that political equality is requisite to achieve the best attainable state. Finally, the desirability of increased economic inequality is demonstrated.
From the Paper
"In a world of limited resources, scarcity, and conflict, human persons experience fundamental differences in their social, political, and economic conditions. Significant inequality exists within and among societies. In the United States, with its founding significantly influenced by the Lockean concept of natural rights, economic inequality inevitably pervades a system that defines economic fairness by procedure rather than outcome. Although formerly present in the United States, acute political inequality is best identified abroad, despite present questions regarding the state of our electoral and vote counting systems; slavery in the Sudan and the mandates of Shariah, extreme Islamic Law, in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan each eviscerate the ability of minority groups and women, respectively, to effectively exercise their political rights and participate in society. Aristotle objects to inequalities among citizens because they undermine individual flourishing and because they undermine the stability and proper functioning of the political order. However, Aristotle?s arguments fail to persuade, as he fails to address situations in which his analysis apparently fails."

The Social Position of Women, 2002.
An analysis and evaluation of the role of sexuality and race in defining the social position of women during the years 1607 ? 1890.

Abstract
This paper considers the status of women as a reflection of their sexuality and race. It looks at the social status of women in the period of slavery in the southern U.S., and highlights the differences between slaves and slaveholders. Women of the Victorian era, Colonial times, American Revolution and Native American women are also discussed.
From the Paper
"Women have always maintained a different social position than men, and it has usually been based on their gender and sexuality. Women attain these positions in a wide variety of ways, from using marriage as a stepping-stone, to creating their own roles defined by their sexuality. "For example, Mary Jenkins Chambers, the mistress of a planter household, had worked her way into the highest echelons of southern society through the time-honored fashion of 'marrying up.' In 1831, while still a teenager, she married Joseph Hart, only to become widowed before her twenty-first birthday. In 1834, she married Elijah Barnett, whom she also outlived, and she married her final husband, Asa Chambers, of Montgomery County, at the age of forty-one in 1856. As the owner of twenty-one slaves and eight hundred acres of land, Chambers was one of Montgomery County's wealthiest men" (Bynum 16).
In the South, being a white woman in Southern society meant confronting the issue of slavery sometime during your life. "Because the institutions of the family and slavery were interlocked, white women occupied an important place in the cultural and economic life of southern society. Wives of slaveholders served as conduits for the transmission of power and property from one generation to the next. As caretakers of the family, they also oversaw much of the daily workings of the slave system. Finally, as the repository of a southern code of honor that regarded them as symbols of racial and sexual purity, white women maintained the racial distinctions that were crucial to the continued hegemony of white men" (Bynum 64). The planter's wives served as a beacon of gentility, and looked the other way when their husbands sired mulatto children with the slave women. Their place in society was accepted and secure, as long as they kept their mouths shut."

Abstract
This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the Environmental Protection Agency's problematic position on the usage of MTBE. MTBE is a gasoline additive intended to lower air pollution, but has actually been linked to water pollution and increased rates of cancer. The author provides a scholarly and scientific review of the EPA's regulatory power, the usage of and dangers from MTBE, and the EPA's position on MTBE past and present.
Introduction
MTBE A Problem for the Entire EPA
What is MTBE and Why Was Its Use Mandated by the EPA?
MTBE: Human Health Effects
Conclusion and Recommendations
From the Paper
"According to the Environmental Protection Agency MTBE is an ether compound made by combining methanol and isobutylene. The methanol is typically derived from natural gas; isobutylene can be derived as a byproduct of the petroleum refinery process. Now that the EPA is considering either reducing the amount of MTBE that can be used in gasoline over a period of time, we need to ask the question why did the EPA permit the use of the chemical in the first place?"

Abstract
While each of the "little dragons" are highly interesting in their own right, this paper will look at the economic position of Taiwan. With its high degree of economic independence and close political links to China, many question whether Taiwan is a province of China or a nation of its own. It is a good, difficult, and controversial question. Through an economic analysis of Taiwan as a nation, this paper will endeavor to provide some insight.
