From the Paper
"Introduction
Brazil is the giant of Latin America, with over half its population and a larger economy than the rest of the continent combined. Even by global standards it is a giant, with one of the ten largest world economies and the fifth-largest land area (Hoover's Handbook, 1993, p. 520). The potentials and problems of the Brazilian economy are in proportion to the country itself. Brazil possesses great potential natural wealth, with a broad range of resources. The Brazilian economy can also lay claim to a thriving high-tech sector, and its arms industry has achieved notable success in export markets. "

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the employment prospects of university graduates. Among some of the applicable data addressed are overall employment figures related to unemployment rates, characteristics of the labor force and employment by sector. The conclusion is that while technology is one of the most promising prospects to take university training in, it is also one of the most susceptible to the global employment strategies of offshoring and outsourcing. However, the writer points out that the majority of industries in the Canadian economy rely on sectors that typically require university training or graduation. The writer concludes that while there are certainly other avenues towards developing valuable skills applicable in the marketplace, increasingly, one of the best places to acquire those skills is in the university setting and certainly through graduation from a structured academic program in a given field or industry.
Outline:
Overview
Employment Trends
Prospects by Industry
Employment Outlook
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Recent trends in the Canadian employment sector reveal an active employment market for university graduates who are graduating from certain fields and concentrations. The inverse of these observations is that university graduates who graduate in fields or concentrations that have little relevance to the economic activity driving the overall market, are at a disadvantage and quickly develop a detachment from the workforce as research at the University of Alberta has indicated. However, simply having completed a university program through graduation does seem to imply that the employment prospects for the individual doing so are more promising than those who have not."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the quality of work life as reported by African-Americans to be "plagued by inequality and lack of opportunity or stability" and examines the relationships that exist between familial influences, job market prospects and the environment. This paper intends to evaluate the impacts family rearing and environmental influence have on African-Americans' perceived job market opportunities and self reported quality of work life.
Contents:
Introduction
Need for the Study
Preliminary Review of the Literature
Methodology and Research Design
Discussion/Conclusions
From the Paper
"Many African Americans report their work life includes less than optimal working conditions, meager earnings, little autonomy and much instability which often results in decreased job satisfaction and perceived job opportunities (Riley, 2005). Still other research related to social psychology suggests "quality of work life may have pervasive consequences on one's sense of worth and sense of control" and that perceived job satisfaction can "spillover and influence behaviors in other spheres of life" (Riley, 1) Hence social psychological outcomes are affected by job related perceptions and self evaluation as well as general life satisfaction (Riley, 1).
The purpose of this research proposal is an evaluation of the impacts family rearing and environmental influence have on African American's perceived job market opportunities and self reported quality of work life. As an aside the researcher will also evaluate whether familial and environmental factors impact African American's perceived self esteem and subsequent success on the job and at home. To accomplish this the researcher will evaluate the following questions: (1) what if any familial influences determine job satisfaction and employment opportunities, (2) what if any environmental influences are likely to contribute to job status and perceived quality of work life, (3) whether other factors contribute to job status and self reported measures of self worth and self esteem and whether (4) self esteem directly or indirectly influences job status, environment or familial relationships among African American adults.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how at first glance, the economic prospects in Saudi Arabia might seem exceptional. After all Saudi Arabia is home to one of the largest reserves of oil in the world. The paper goes on to say that the industrial world quite literally turns on the oil that is produced in Saudi Arabia and some of its neighboring nations. Given that fact, it would seem that Saudi Arabians should be living well with a bright future ahead of them.
From the Paper
" While the current government has certainly taken great strides towards improving the economic situation in the nation, there are still significant troubles in Saudi Arabia, ones that will not easily be surmounted despite a recent surge in economic growth. One of biggest economic changes that has occurred in Saudi Arabia has happened over the past twenty or thirty years regarding per capita income."

Abstract
A good home is clearly a basic human need. This fact is clearly stated in Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human rights adopted by the United Nations Organization (UNO) in 1948. This paper examines both the causes of the global hosing crises and its impact on the environment as well as on the health of the people. Also examined in this paper are the steps taken to address this global problem in various countries. Outline Introduction Causes of the Global Housing Crises Population Growth Urbanization Natural and Political Disasters Poverty and Economic Stagnation The Impact of the Global Housing Crises Poor Housing and Health Poor Housing and Environmental Pollution
From the Paper
"The economic situation in a country could also affect the state of housing in that country. In some countries, a lot of people are so poor that they could barely afford the basic necessities of life such as food and clothing. It is thus an uphill task for people under this category to afford descent living places. High interest rates and inflation push bank loan payments far out of reach of many families, and soaring utility costs make it difficult for people to get ahead. Unemployment rates as high as 20 per cent in some lands make it almost impossible to make ends meet. These and other factors has forced hundreds of millions in every corner of the earth to settle for substandard housing. People live in old buses, shipping containers, and cardboard boxes. "

Abstract
The following paper examines gaming casinos within the Ontario context and reviews the benefits of these operations as well as the perceived social ills arising from them - addictive gambling. The paper argues that a gaming casino in Toronto can actually work, as long as the proper measures are to put into place to protect people from themselves.
From the Paper
T"here can scarcely be any doubt that the introduction of a Casino in Toronto, as anywhere else in Ontario, is a controversial initiative. The following paper will briefly examine the background of casino gaming in Ontario by looking at the situations in Niagara Falls, Rama and Windsor. The succeeding pages will also examine the impact of casino gaming upon the local community in terms of its economic impact and in terms of its impact socially in the areas of crime, addiction and mental health. Finally, the paper will conclude with a summation of the available evidence and a recommendation on the direction the City of Toronto should take."

The Prospects of Power in the Pacific, 2005.
An examination of the changing nature of the U.S.-Japanese alliance as it relates to Japanese militarization and the contemporary world order.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
After World War II, Japan signed a constitution prohibiting it from establishing a military force limited to self-defense and incapable of regional or global power projection. However, in recent years, Article 9 of the Japanese constitution, which prevents it from having a major military force, has been continuously reinterpreted to allow for a greater role for the Japanese military in world affairs. This paper shows that the rising threat that China may pose to Japan's regional preeminence, and Japan's own desires to attain global political and military power to match its economic power may lead Japan to an ever more militarily aggressive foreign policy. What this means for the future of the U.S.-Japanese alliance, and in particular its role as a counterbalance to Chinese assertiveness, is the subject of this paper.
From the Paper
"Japan faces regional threats not unlike those of the Cold War from China and North Korea, but the most significant change in Japanese foreign policy as it relates to the US-Japanese alliance is in the aspirations of Japan as a nation and its role to the international system. In recent time, Japan has been campaigning to gain a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. The significance of attaining this position is immense firstly because it would put Japan on an equal footing with the other permanent members - the US, United Kingdom, France, Russia and China - and give it veto rights on Security Council resolutions. Many analysts see this as a major step in the equalization of Japan's international economic and political power."

"Understanding the Brazilian economy is the first challenge to the investors. Brazil is becoming a market where, in the medium term, companies may have to consider establishing a presence and localizing product to be able to compete effectively. It is important to remember that a company will not succeed in Brazil without developing a sound business plan and a longer-term strategy. Foreign investment is generally welcomed and the regulatory environment is friendly. On the one hand, Brazil offers immediate attractions to new market entrants such as a population of some 172 million people..."

The Survey, 2007.
This paper describes the process of using surveys as a research technique and evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of their use.
4,210 words (approx. 16.8 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 112.95
»

Abstract
This paper relates that the downside of using surveys as a research technique is that the process depends on universal principles, which allow the questionnaires to be generalized, that can make the use of the survey relatively inflexible and that there is always uncertainty about the potential level of response. The author points out that one of the advantages of conducting research surveys is that they are not as costly as other research methods and can be executed through a number of media such as mail, e-mail or personalized visits. The paper explains that the survey or questionnaire is selected by the researcher, as diverse as psychologists and anthropologists, to fulfill both his or her theoretical and practical goals.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Content validity occurs when the initial aim of the research study is represented in the measurement of the overall results. All relative features and aspects have to be taken under consideration for the efficient attainment of aim as well as for its accurate measurement
A good example of this could be research done on the English language leaning of students. If the researcher only takes in the reading capability and factors that hinder reading capability then the content validity of that research would be inadequate because English language learning is not just about the reading skills but encompasses writing and vocabulary learning capabilities as well."

Summary
From the Paper
"The first national crime victimization survey in Britain, the British Crime Survey (BCS) was carried out in 1982 with further surveys in 1984, 1988, 1992 and 1998. In the 2000 British Crime Survey, close to 23,000 people aged 16 and over were interviewed. From 2001, the BCS moved to an annual cycle with 40,000 respondents to be interviewed per year. The BCS measures the amount of crime in England and Wales by asking people about crimes they have experienced in the past year. It asks about people's attitudes to crime, such as how much they fear crimes and what measures they take to avoid it."

Community Surveys, 2006.
An essay describing a survey that could be used to discover how different people define a community.
795 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 28.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that there are many different elements that combine to form a community and that the term 'community' can mean different things to different people. The paper further explains that the best way to discover the the ideas of community that dominate the minds of most people would be through a survey. The necessary questions in such a survey are then listed in the paper and the suggestion made that, in order to synthesize the information obtained from the survey, some qualitative and quantative analyses would need to be done. Finally, the paper points out that surveys, such as the one described in the paper, are useful information gathering-tools for the field of sociology and important elements of the sociological method.
From the Paper
"The word 'community' is somewhat ambiguous. It is not immediately clear whether it refers to geographical proximity, common interests and activities, or some other grouping method. As with many such ambiguous words, it is likely that different people have completely different ideas about what it means to be a member of a community. An interesting question to pursue, therefore, would be this: What factors do people have in mind when they consider themselves to be part of a community? It is not uncommon for people to mentally place themselves in more than one community. Perhaps someone is a member of her church community, the community of her apartment building, and her work community. These are three very different things. In the case of the church, the community seems bonded together by faith, which might more generally be described as a common interest. In the case of the apartment building, geographical location, or proximity of living, seems to be the main cohesive factor. Work shares elements of both of the other two. On the one hand, the workplace represents a common activity that all of the members of the community participate in on a regular basis. On the other hand, it is likely that the workplace is one office or building where many people convene in the same space at the same time."

"Introduction
Brazil is one of the markets in Latin America that companies from around the world have viewed with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety. The company's population, high level of education, and relatively stable political environment present an attractive opportunity to those companies who want to export goods to Brazil, but until recently, the country's internal economic environment was highly volatile and not conducive to long-term market growth. Following dramatic economic reform in the last several years, the country has emerged as a strong market which enjoys foreign trade with the United States, Asia and Europe: the United States received 19 percent of the nation's exported goods in 1996, and was responsible for 25 percent of the goods imported to Brazil during the same year. This research considers how one company.."
