From the Paper
"Those gaining from protectionist laws are "special interest groups" such as big corporations, unions, farmer's groups and others who have political clout and money to back their interests in seeing laws favorable for them passed. These groups intend to get away with charging higher prices and getting higher wages than could normally be expected in a free market. According to Walter Black, Senior Economist, Fraser Institute, Canada, "Protectionism is a misnomer. The only people protected by tariffs, quotas and trade restriction are those engaged in uneconomic and wasteful activity. Free trade is the only philosophy compatible with international peace and prosperity.""

From the Paper
"With the growth in importance of marketing in business today, it should come as little surprise that there is increased interest on the part of the researcher. Upon initial researching of the topic, it was discovered that little to no research had been performed in the past regarding the efficacy and efficiency of a cooperative marketing effort in the Farm Credit industry. Although many studies have been performed regarding marketing effectiveness and efficiency, and although some have covered the benefits of cooperative marketing, none were found specific to the unique Farm Credit segment."

Abstract
This paper explains that organic agriculture is defined as the agricultural process, which leads to an ecological management system that uses minimal farm inputs from outside the farm environment and management practices that aim at recreating, maintaining and elevating the ecological balance. The author points out that, using very good marketing sense, China is becoming a growing power in the global export organic food industry with products meeting the standard requirements of countries like the United States of America, Japan and the countries in Europe. The paper relates that the largest market for organic foods and beverages in the world is the United States of America, which can not grow its own demand; therefore, China with its high quality standards intends to tap this business opportunity.

Scope for Increased Exports to Europe
Scope for Increased Exports to the United States of America
From the Paper
"China also has succeeded in becoming the most important non-European Union supplier of organic beans and seeds to the Western Europe markets. The domination of Chinese exporting companies are clearly visible in the supply of organic pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, kidney beans and black beans. They have also made inroads into the supply of organic soya bean. Chinese companies have established themselves in the organic soya bean market in such a manner that they supply almost one third of all the organic soya bean requirement of the market. The Chinese government also has come out in support of the organic food industry by pledging additional support for the organic food industry thus raising expectations of increased production of organic food products."

Abstract
This paper examines how maintenance issues and scheduling are very important for the petroleum industry and how different business units have to work in close coordination with each other in order to achieve the best performance from all the equipment within the organization. It also discusses the importance of training and education and how training should not be restricted to the maintenance departments, but rather the need and reason for maintenance should be provided to all employees within the organization. It shows how the stability of the oil and gas industry depends on its ability to answer the market's increased demand, while still providing profits. All scheduling for maintenance in the oil production business should be done based on the bottleneck, the product most required.

From the Paper
"Many of the key players in the oil and gas industry are striving to reduce their outstanding debts and improving their cash flow. Organizations involved in the productions, distribution and warehousing of petroleum products are realizing that by using preventive maintenance (PM) and behaving proactive with regards to the problems and issues faced within their operations that can achieve their goal of reducing costs and operational expenses. Constant risk assessments of the manufacturing and production facilities and periodic evaluation of all the work processes has helped many other industries improve their bottom line. The petroleum industry is quick to realize the gains and advantages that can be got by using many of the tried and tested management tools used by other industries."

Abstract
This paper discusses the book "Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys" written by Dan Kindlon and Michael Thompson. The paper contends that the book is an important and a fascinating read to all boys and their families. Both authors have been convincing in their argument that for boys it would be good if they become more 'emotionally literate' in order to comprehend their own feelings as well as others. The valuable and insightful proposal given by these writers would be welcomed by parents and teachers alike to learn how to stay tuned in to a boy and at the same time respect his autonomy. The paper claims that the book gives its readers a much-needed glimpse into the hidden or 'inner' lives of boys.
From the Paper
"The book Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys reveals a realm of boys who are hurting sad, quiet, frightened and annoyed. According to the statistics in the book it is alarming that quite a number of young boys are at high risk for suicide, loneliness, drinking, drug abuse and violence. In light of those statistics the authors set out to answer this basic, vital question: What do boys need that they're not getting? In answering this, here, Kindlon and Thompson have shed light on the destructive emotional training boys receive which is basically in other words is called as the emotional mis-education of boys."

Protecting Employee Health, 2004.
An analysis of the importance of protecting employee health in the health care industry.
777 words (approx. 3.1 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 27.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the human resources department of an organization can help protect employee health and prevent employee accidents in the health care industry. The paper discusses the necessity of the implementation of a wellness program. The paper also contends that preventative medicine and regular employee check-ups will eventually reduce the health care costs of an organization.
From the Paper
"One 'solution' to the proposed cost increases is not to provide health care, particularly for part-time employees-for instance, as a consequence, there were at least 5 million fewer jobs providing health insurance in 2004 than in 2001. However, within the health care industry itself is hardly a viable 'solution,' given the on-the-job threats faced by many workers, such as violence in large, public hospitals, the threat of infection and the greater exposure of health care workers to even mild ailments. Also, there is often a more vocal demand for better health care within industry workers, given health care worker's greater knowledge of the need for regular health-related screenings and tests."

Protecting the Environment with Law, 2000.
Showing how strict and extreme legislation may be the last option for protecting the environment.

»

Abstract
This paper shows how prevention is the key to eliminating the continuation of environmental degradation and how environmental law makes sure that objective is realized. Environmental law has come a long way in cleaning up the mess created by man-made pollution. The paper examines both the Clean Air Act of 1963 and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 set out to rectify the insurmountable degradation overtaking the air, water and soil supplies. It shows that with their continued efforts, ongoing improvements will serve to further the purpose these two acts were established for in the first place.
From the Paper
"The environment has been in trouble for a long time. Decades and decades of misuse, exploitation and degradation have placed a tremendous burden upon the land to the point where humanity is having to scramble to preserve what is left. Re-establishing what has already been destroyed, as well as protecting what still exists, is what environmentalist and government agencies are working feverishly to achieve. With the support of environmental law, significant trends have been established to rectify damage already done and prevent any further from occurring."

Table of Contents:
Causes of Terrorism
What is Terrorism?
Protecting Ourselves from Terrorism- a) Follow International Law
Protecting Ourselves from Terrorism- b) Domestic Measures
Conclusions
From the Paper
"Terrorism is such a misused word that one person's terrorist is another ones freedom fighter. Bin Laden and his criminal gang were described as 'Mujahideen- the Holy Warriors' by the western media and their indiscriminate terrorist attacks during soviet occupation and pro-soviet Afghan government days were projected as freedom struggle and acts of bravery. The international politics has thus not permitted building a formal definition. The United States Congress has defined [22 U.S.C. [sections] 2656 f(d)(1)-(2) (1994)] "terrorism" as "premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by sub-national groups or clandestine agents"; "international terrorism" is defined as "terrorism involving citizens or the territory of more than 1 country" [Reisman, 1999]. This definition does not consider state terrorism or state sponsored terrorism, which is often the case, as international terrorism often requires a hideout and a sympathetic or covertly supporting state."

Protecting Home Buyers, 2008.
This paper looks at agencies and laws dealing with the protection of home buyers.
3,412 words (approx. 13.6 pages), 14 sources, MLA, $ 96.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article the writer discusses the various agencies and laws which exist to protect home buyers in the real estate transaction process, from securing the necessary credit to dealing with real estate agents. The paper devotes a great deal of time looking at what rights new home purchasers have with regards to gaining access to credit, for it is credit that ultimately determines whether any such purchase will be possible in the first place. Furthermore, the paper also peers into the legislation geared towards protecting those who wish to buy homes from others, but who may have to deal with antiquated racist attitudes in the process. Lastly, the paper offers a brief critique of the available literature and what it appears to suggest about the measures presently in place to protect home buyers in America.
From the Paper
"Other organizations contribute in other ways. For example, Wood reports in a 2005 study he also conducted on behalf of the Government Accounting Office that the Department of Agriculture and Urban Development's Federal Housing Administration and the Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service guaranteed roughly $136 billion in mortgages for multi-family rental housing, for various health care facilities and, most importantly for our purposes, for single family homes. Apparently overgenerous to a fault, both organizations have also had to suspend their issuance of guarantees in the past because they went over the dollar amounts they were permitted to spend under their commitment authority or, in a closely-related vein, because they went over the dollar limits prescribed to them under their credit subsidy budget authority for a given year. Needless to say, the result of these suspensions is that many families which rely upon the aforementioned loan guarantees find themselves faced with unexpected financial hardships. Wood reports that, while both programs have many things which commend themselves, the simple fact of the matter is that the FHA and RHS loan guarantee programs operate on a first-come, first-served basis - a practice which can easily discriminate against poor families who lack knowledge about the programs."

Protecting the Environment, 2002.
An overview of the economical issues surrounding environmental protection and the progress that has been made thus far in the field.
1,650 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 12 sources, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper will argue that protection of the environment has traditionally been an ostentatious good that only the rich countries can afford. Sustainable development has been considered an oxymoron. In simple terms, excessive care for the environment has been demographically and economically unfeasible. It will also be argued, however, that in recent years significant progress has been made towards environmental protection through inter-governmental organizations such as APEC and the WTO.

The advantages of organizational change within the structure of a business and working environment. The paper considers the role of organizational change and the influences on change and the processes involved within the implementation of protecting hard copy documentation.
From the Paper
"Refreezing can only occur after the changes have been implemented and accepted. The changes should have been accepted willingly, and the employees have been converted to the wisdom of the new systems. They should at this stage be supportive and understand the wisdom behind the changes. The changes can now be entrenched and ideally become part of the new organisational culture."

Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that the question of how much freedom American citizens are prepared to concede in order to enable personal and national safety, sits at the heart of the current debate concerning the protection of America and homeland security. The writer notes that consequently, a vast range of new measures, which seek to encompass a variety of ways to prevent terrorist attacks, have been recently established. The writer points out that these new measures are presently being evaluated by concerned observers and policy makers on both their effectiveness in preventing terrorist attacks and the influence that such policies have on the well-being of the American public. This essay considers the issues that surround the protection of the United States, and that of homeland security, through reviewing the different ethical concerns and types of political factors involved.
Outline:
Introduction
Freedom v. Security
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The need for effective homeland security measures has meant the government attempting to strike the status quo between enabling greater safety, while also allowing for civil liberty. America, a country that is renowned for its respect of individual freedom and human rights, is now facing the difficulties that have been raised by the introduction of increased measures that influence the majority of America's citizens. While it is a fact that no person can truly be free unless there is a reasonable degree of safety, it can also be said that no person can be truly free unless they are secure from unwarranted prying into their personal lives."

"The researcher's opinion is kept out of this kind of research because he won't be able to influence the participant, thus making the survey a good method of research. Finally, surveys are not invasive to the participants, as most surveys will arrive through the mail or even distributed for some to take home. In order to determine who needs to be trained, researchers could analyze the data from the survey of those who show that they access and use data intentionally. Also, it would be wise to provide training to those who unintentionally access data. A follow up questionnaire can also be used after any training sessions to see if employees are satisfied with the training they received."

From the paper:
"Information technology promises many benefits to health care. By helping to make accurate information more readily available to providers, payers, researchers, administrators, and patients, advanced computing and communications technology can help improve the quality and lower the costs of health care. Information technology is becoming increasingly important to the health care industry as organizations attempt to find ways of lowering the costs of care while improving its quality. Much of the demand for information technology is driven by structural changes in the health care industry and its methods of care. At the same time, the prospect of storing health information in electronic form raises concerns about patient privacy and data security."
