Abstract
The writer of this paper outlines a background to wolves in general and to their presence in the U.S.A. in particular. The paper raises the argument of those for and against the reintroduction of the wolf into the wild. It discusses the issues of their part in the natural eco system as well as their wildness and man's fear thereof.
From the Paper
"Wolves (Canis Lupis) have always sat on the threshold of man?s life, from the earliest times man and wolf came together and soon the wolf was domesticated into the dog, however there has always been the wolf, that strong noble creature that runs in packs and is the legend of nightmares for farmers, hunters and travellers alike. Yet despite the bad press wolves have had since man became civilized and stopped feeding the wolves his scraps, they have continually been present within our lives, sadly this presence has been diminished."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination, written from a legal standpoint, of the treaty on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children. The paper concludes the U. S. is willing to intervene in other international problems, such as oil; and therefore, it should make a public statement to protect the world?s most precious commodity, children, by supporting the treaty.

Why Won't the U.S. Sign?
Reasons for Signing the Treaty
From the Paper
"While there are many political reasons that the US may refuse to sign the treaty, one of the chief causes for concern might be the establishment of an International Criminal Court. Many UN delegates support the idea of an International Criminal Court but the United States has been steadfast in its refusal to agree. An international criminal court might begin the slippery slope of descent to the power of individual nations when it comes to many issues including the treaty.If the international criminal court gains favor and power in the future it is feasible that the court could be used to enforce the treaty."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the doctrine of multiculturalism. The writer offers an analysis of why such a doctrine is problematic. In order to examine the issue of multiculturalism, the writer uses examples from the public education systems in the U.S. and Great Britain to show the difficulties in treating all cultures as equal.
From the Paper
"Multiculturalism is defined by the Ayn Rand institute as the view that all cultures are equal. While this doctrine is often adopted in spirit if not in principle in the U.S. and Great Britain, multiculturalism is problematic as a term. For if all cultures are equal we cannot say that there is one superior way of being, one superior set of values or one superior method of educating individuals. However societies like America and Great Britain often adopt such methods values ... "

Abstract
"This paper discusses an article from the Economist Intelligence Unit, a publication of The Economist, entitled "China's Economy: U.S. and E.U. Get Tough on Textiles" as it relates to the price pressures on apparels in the U.S. market. These issues are examined from a macroeconomic perspective with an emphasis on Keynesian and neo-classical macroeconomic theory.
From the Paper
"Following the end of quotas on textile imports from China as of 1 January 2005, both the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) have witnessed a massive influx of textile imports from China: "U.S. imports of Chinese clothing swelled in January, a rush of new products following the end of international quotas that for decades had limited global apparel trade" (Chinese, 2005, para.1). While increases have been across the board, three categories in particular have seen huge increases: cotton knit shirts, blouses and cotton trousers, and these have been targeted for renewed protectionist quotas by both the US and the EU (China, 2005, para.2).

From the Paper
"Texas has added many economic, political and strategic advantages to the United States. But Texas was not acquired by the simple task of colonization and claim; Texas was fought for and won from the Spanish Empire by the people of these United States. They did not enter this conflict without reason or resolution; they entered this battle for independence and eventual statehood for many political and social reasons. First, the already great abundance of United States immigrants in the Spanish State of Texas, or Tejas, at the time of the revolution aided in the approval in action by the U.S. Secondly, the comparisons of the citizens of Texas predicament to the United States? own revolution also aided in the agreement on U.S. initiative. Finally, the American dislike of the Spanish Empire and its wish to dissolve its influence in North America aided as well in American entrance into the affairs of the Texas Revolution."

The Reintroduction of Salmon to Western Pomerania, 2005.
Looks at the various issues relating to salmon in the Western Pomeranian area.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the issues related to the loss of salmon in Western Pomerania due to a number of reasons, including overfishing. The paper shows that these issues have created the necessity to reintroduce salmon to the rivers within this area so that increased biodiversity and water life may evolve and continue to thrive in order to contribute to the ecosystem as a whole.
From the Paper
"In Poland, there has been a drastic loss in Salmon within rivers due to a number of circumstances, including but not limited to excessive fishing in this region, which has depleted the supply of salmon to an astonishing level (Domagala & Gruszka). Because the salmon species in question, the Wild Baltic Salmon, is particularly susceptible to environmental conditions, the reintroduction process must be managed slowly and carefully in order to thrive (Domagala and Gruszka). There are a number of reasons that the Wild Baltic Salmon disappeared from this region, and the difficulties that will be encountered in enabling these species to breed once again in this area is difficult to describe. The following discussion will identify the various causes of this elimination phenomenon from Western Pomerania, and will address the steps taken to reintroduce these fish to rivers within the region."

From the Paper
"The Bell Curve, by Charles Murray and Richard Hernstein, has proven to be one of the most controversial books of the decade. A detailed examination of intelligence scores, including analyses across class, gender, and (most controversially) race, The Bell Curve has been a magnet for criticism ever since its publication. The most valid criticisms of the work took the authors to task for committing methodological errors, primarily that of crossing levels of analysis (intelligence tests are individual level measures, yet the authors often treated them as group level measures by aggregating scores and making group distinctions). However, few such critical articles were as reasoned as these, most criticisms on a political or social perspective, scorning the authors for an implied racism in their conclusions. Yet another, smaller, class of criticism examines the theoretical under.."

U.S. Trade Balance and Exchange Rate, 2006.
This paper analyzes the issue of the U.S. trade balance and its significant impact on the exchange rate in America due to the burgeoning trade deficit and declining value of the dollar against other major world currencies.

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the trade balance and the exchange rate. The writer details the general rule of economics that states a negative trade deficit normally leads to a weaker currency while trade surplus results in enhanced value of currency, although there are exceptions to the rule, which are detailed in this paper. This paper discusses the issue of the U.S. trade balance and its effect on the exchange rate of the country's currency which is currently in the limelight due to the burgeoning U.S. trade deficit and the declining value of the dollar against other major world currencies. The writer of this paper delves into America's economy against that of China's and questions whether the U.S. dollar will retain its status of the reserve currency in the long run. This paper touches on the opinions and views of economists and U.S. treasury officials who contend that the current trade deficit is nothing to be alarmed about as the country's economy and the U.S. dollar survived a similar slide in the late 1980s. This paper also discusses the opinion of the U.S. administration that believes the alleged under-valuation of the Chinese Yen is a prime source for the deficit problems since there is a huge and growing trade imbalance between the U.S. exports and imports to China. The well-researched and well-written paper clearly define the terms: Trade balance, exchange rate and reserve currency.

From the Paper
"The key question is, can the US dollar retain its status of the resrve currency for long? History suggests that it may not. Before the advent of the dollar as the world's reserve currency, the British Pound had enjoyed such a status. Between the two World Wars and the post-World War II period saw the weakeing of the British economy. As a result, the British Pound was devalued by 30% in 1949, effectively ending its run as the world's reserve currency and the start of the dollar's reign. Dollar has been able to retain its status as the reserve currency since it was relatively stable, was backed up by the formidable economy of the US, low interest rates and the absence of an alternative currency."

The U.S. War on Iraq, 2004.

Abstract
This paper looks at the war on Iraq and considers whether U.S. policy towards Iraq can prevail through an analysis of eight facets of this policy: international trade; weapons of mass destruction; democratization; the war against tyranny vs. the grab for oil; the ?shock and awe? tactics used at the beginning of the war; the U.S. occupation vs. liberation; whether the new government of Iraq will be Iraqi run or whether Iraq will become a puppet state; and Operation Iraqi Freedom. The analysis is performed by means of an in-depth literature review, with relevant statistical support where necessary. It is found that the war on Iraq was founded on false premises and that the current U.S. policy towards Iraq is not sustainable for the Iraqi people nor for the honor of the U.S. government.

From the Paper
"The war on Iraq (which some people would argue was an illegal invasion on Iraq, as it happened without regard for international law and also pre-emptively) began almost one year ago, and despite the fact that the U.S. government is trying to persuade its populace that the war is over, by making a show of handing power back to the people of Iraq (although it is not yet known who those people will be, or if those people will agree enough in the meantime to form a democratic governing body), the war is far from over. Day by day, the number of dead and the number of casualties increase in Iraq, with bombings and disagreements amongst rival Iraqi groups, most obviously the different factions of Muslims, the Shi?as and the Sunnis."

U.N. Intervention in Korea, 2004.
A discussion on the U.N. intervention in Korea as a cover for U.S. anti-communism.

Abstract
This paper examines how on the 25th June 1950, North Korean troops crossed the 38th parallel and began their invasion of the south. It looks at how the U.S. was initially able to intervene due to the resolution passed by the United Nations Security Council and how it can be argued that the nature of the U.N. intervention extended beyond the desire to protect a country that was being invaded, but was ideological, based more upon the U.S. feeling of anti-communism.
From the Paper
"The Soviet development of the atomic bomb in 1949 heightened the suspicion felt on behalf of the US, believing their weapons monopoly to be over, fearing the military might of communism and Russia. The monopoly had been military and diplomatically valuable to the US, allowing the US to maintain their superiority against the numerically superior Soviet Union. As a result, Truman and the US government were pressurised into undertaking a tougher stance in their dealings with communist advances and developments, and therefore the Korean conflict provided the perfect opportunity to show this, under the legitimacy of the UN."

From the Paper
"Donna Conover, the executive Vice President of Customer services, states that ever since she joined the company, more than twenty eight years back, she had always felt that the employees of the company were the greatest assets for the firm, and perhaps it is because of the policy that the company follows, which is that of never ever dictating pay cuts to its employees, that it has managed to keep all its employees happy and satisfied, and working hard at all times. This was seen in the fact that employees by themselves, during the Gulf War of the 1990's, when fuel costs skyrocketed, voluntarily reduced their pay for some time in order to cope with the escalating costs of fuel. In a similar manner, after the debacle of September 11, Southwest Airlines employees volunteered to take cut costs on their wages, so that the company may be able to cope better with its reductions in flying schedules. This type of loyalty for the company has as yet been unrivalled."

Abstract
This paper analyzes how the idea of high employee loyalty has transcended Southwest's business model and has allowed the airline to become a market leader in a very volatile industry. The paper also examines how high employee loyalty can be maintained and the costs that are associated with it. Lastly, the paper provides a recommendation centered on a more strategic approach to human resource management.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Achieving High Employee Loyalty at Southwest Airline: Recommending an Integration with Southwest Airlines' Strategic Model
Why Focus on the Strategic Development of Employee Loyalty?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Southwest Airlines need to be able to explore other strategic practices that embody effective human resource management. Also, Southwest's human resource model should afford the company the luxury of risk-taking without putting the firm in jeopardy financially or otherwise. In wake of the present industry changes identified or speculated - possible merger between United Airlines and Continental Airlines, and the consolidation prompted by US Airways bid to acquire Delta Air Lines out of Chapter 11. If these trends continue, then employee loyalty will just not be enough, a profit sharing scheme will be inadequate, the fact is, Southwest Airlines, needs to be involved in more expansive programs; the recommendation from this analysis is one that is focused on strategic development."

Abstract
This essay discusses the U.S. foreign policy towards Middle Eastern and Latin American countries before 9/11 and post 9/11. The foreign policy is analyzed, its inherent problems are highlighted, and a comparison of U.S. foreign policy towards the Middle East with U.S. foreign policy towards Latin America is made.
From the Paper
"With all eyes turned toward Iraq and the Middle East, South America rarely makes the headlines in the United States. Except for perhaps tighter controls and security on U.S. borders and waterways since September 11th , it seems Latin foreign policies are not top priorities for Washington. However, recent events in October in Bolivia led to ?a massive mobilization of Indians and peasants?military crackdowns that left as many as 70 people dead?and led to the demise of the conservative Gonzalo S?nchez de Lozada government on Oct."
