Abstract
This paper explains that once the geographic range of the Giant Panda extended throughout Burma, Vietnam and particularly southern and eastern China as far north as Beijing; today the remaining tatters of China's bamboo forests support only about 1,000 wild pandas in the mountains of central China's Sichuan Province, high in the mountains, shrouded in heavy clouds with torrential rains or dense mist throughout the year. The author points out that scientists have debated for more than a century whether giant pandas belong to the bear family, the raccoon family or a separate family of their own; recent DNA analysis indicates that giant pandas are more closely related to bears. The paper relates that scientists are conducting research in order to preserve the panda through the study of infant development and mating behaviors such as the importance of urine scents similar to dog mating.
From the Paper
"The newborn panda weighs barely a quarter of a pound, even though the mother weighs typically two hundred pounds. Most mammals, with which we are familiar when born find their way to the nipple to nurse. The panda mother cradles her baby against her body "so it can snuggle into her warm fur and feed" much like an ape. Immediately upon giving birth, the mother panda fasts for days, devoting all her time to the newborn. An interesting fact about the birth of twins, which happens about fifty percent of the time, is that the mother chooses one and lets the other die. Scientists believe that is due to the care the frail infant requires and the mother can only provide for one."

Abstract
This paper begins by discussing the history and evolution of the giant panda, which is native to China. It then explains its physical features and characteristics and looks at its habitat, behavior, and diet. It then discusses the panda's reproduction and breeding habits and, in turn, the threat it faces from extinction. The writer explores various conservation efforts currently in play in an attempt to save the giant panda.
From the Paper
"The endangered giant panda of China has been both culturally important and economically profitable to the Chinese for over two thousand years. Exclusive to the mountainous regions of central China, and only known to the western world since the late nineteenth century during the decline of the Qing Dynasty, the panda population has steadily dropped due to population expansion limiting their staple of bamboo, and illegal poaching as they are valued on the black market in live trade and for their unique pelts. It is estimated that fewer than 1,000 pandas exist in the wild today."

From the Paper
"According to a story told in China, the giant panda was once all white. Then one day a little girl saw a panda being attacked by a leopard. The girl tried to rescue the panda, but the leopard leaped on her and killed her. The panda escaped but was filled with grief for the girl, and he summoned all the world's pandas to come to her funeral. The sorrowing pandas wore black arm bands, hugged their bodies for consolation, and pressed their arms against their ears to muffle the cries of the mourning. The color from their arm bands dyed their fur, and ever afterward pandas have had black eye patches, ears, arms, and legs and a black band across their shoulders.
These strikingly patterned and dearly loved pandas are now an endangered species. Fossil evidence indicates that the giant panda has been on earth for three million years and once lived in ... "

Media Giants & The Developing World, 2006.
A discussion regarding the role of Western multimedia giants in the developing world.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper considers the potential positive or negative contributions that media giants have made in the developing world. The paper discusses how Western media giants have made overall positive contributions to the developing world and that the potential for the media to act as the broadsword of cultural imperialism is clear. Nonetheless, in the process of advancing their own agendas, media giants have inadvertently though sometimes purposefully helped promote positive values and development in the Third World.
From the Paper
"Transnational media corporations, such as Time Warner, Disney, and Google, have made dubious contributions to the developing world. There is a significant debate over whether or not the media has had a positive or negative effect upon Third World development. Proponents of capitalism and open trade argue that the media has worked to promote communication, provide new outlets for culture, and even assist in the democratization process of developing nations. Opponents of globalization and the media's role in it, however, argue the opposite. They would suggest that multimedia giants should not have free reign in the developing world. Their presence there amounts to cultural imperialism by the West. "

Abstract
This paper discusses Coskun Samli's book "Up Against the Retail Giants". The paper explains that the book that is written for the smaller business person who needs to realize that he or she is entering a market that is dominated by real giants like Wal-Mart, Costco, and Home Depot. The paper looks at how the book emphasizes that the business person needs to have a strong sense of reality, know the nature of the market, and develop a clear strategy for addressing the disparity between the small company and the large.
From the Paper
"Indeed, Samli begins with a consideration of the nature of retailing and of ideas that empower the retailer and attract and keep customers. The process of managing a retail outlet is depicted here as a matter of strategy development, which also means giving the retail establishment certain distinguishing features enabling consumers to identify the company as well as to be attracted to it. However, as Samli also points out, the distinguishing features alone could drive consumers away as well as attracting them."

From the Paper
"This paper is a review of the book Giant Steps by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Peter Knobler. This book is the autobiography of basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and as such it contains a great deal of background on the games of basketball, the other players, one of the major games in which Jabbar has been involved, and even some pointers on how the game should be played. Of greater interest to the general reader, however, is the underlying story of one individual?s effort to overcome what he saw as handicaps and to find a place for himself in the world. The personage that emerges from this portrait is interesting, somewhat shy. And as his story progresses Jabbar becomes more and more in control of his own life and his own attitudes. This latter is particularly important in the world of professional sports, which is shown in this book to be ... "

Abstract
This paper discusses the five largest media companies in the world, their significant market share and the fact that each company owns several divisions within each market. This paper takes a look at the shrinking global economy due to the simplicity of travel, product distribution and improved technology and communication.
From the Paper
"Giants in a global economy, the world is virtually shrinking because of the ease of travel, distribution and improved communication. It is no wonder companies have grown to the extent they have, regardless of the industry in which they participate. Trade barriers are slowly breaking down and many countries, which have not done so in the past, are now importing and exporting their goods as well as their companies. Of course, they have not done this without opposition from their home countries and the individuals who live there, but when they move out another company will move in. Perhaps one company that immigrates will actually be better suited for the country and its workforce as well as provide improved benefits."

Abstract
This essay takes a look into the life of Francois Rabelais and into his book "Gargantua and Pantagruel". Specifically, the focus is on the idea of the curse as mentioned in the book. The curse is that Christians are free and yet they are enslaved. Finally, the paper shows that through his book "Gargantua and Pantagruel", Rabelais examines the curse of Christianity, namely that the Christian has free will, but that the free will he or she is given is limited.
From the Paper
"The book contains the story of the birth and upbringing of a giant child, Gargantua, and illustrates the author?s views on bad education (Medieval) and good education (Renaissance), and how an ideal humanist leader should behave. The character of the battling monk, Friar Jean, is introduced, with graphically detailed anatomical descriptions of his feats of holy combat."

Abstract
This paper discusses the progress made in opening China's economy to Western investors and goes on to explain that as the older communist hard-liners retire and die off, the new younger politicians who have benefited from the growth of a free market economy will replace the old guard. This paper also ponders the paranoia in China and the U.S. which keeps China from completely abandoning its policies of aggression. The writer of this paper ascertains that China's policy in Hong Kong and their willingness to offer the Taiwanese the same separate system of government are both signs that China will be less aggressive in the next century.
Topics covered this report include:
Introduction
The Move Towards a Free Market Economy
The Move Away From Isolationism
A New Non-Aggressive China for New Millennium
Conclusion
Works Cited
From the Paper
"Under Mao Tse Tung, China maintained a policy of isolationism. The European Imperial powers had devastated the Chinese economy and the was a strong and natural mistrust for the former powers. England's policy opium for goods caused an increase in the production of opium and turned a large segment of the population into addicts. Opium was illegal under Chinese law, but as the British gained control, these laws were ignored. Economic distrust was warranted, and the country followed a path of economic and political isolationism. This started to change in the seventies with Richard Nixon's visit, and has continued up until present day. As China becomes a more free market oriented economy, isolationism will disappear completely."
