Abstract
The paper explains the benefits of a human development approach to trade policy, but also notes that unrestricted trade can have significant negative components for workers in both developed and especially developing countries. The paper discusses how a gender analysis can be incorporated into a broader human development approach. The paper explains that an awareness of the role of gender in the process of developing trade policies is not simply a matter of equity or justice, but also of critical importance to economic development.
From the Paper
"A human development to economic growth and trade policy is a relatively new economic model that is the endpoint of a long tradition of human-centred economics. This approach centers people and people's needs at the core of the economic processes; as their subject and not their object. While this understanding of economics is relatively new in many respects - with the first United Nations Human Development Report being published in 1990 - the basic features of this approach have been concerns of preeminent economic thinkers such as Smith, Mill, Marx and Malthus for generations (UNDP 2003, 22-23)."

Abstract
This paper examines how economic development of any country promotes the trade and business and how free trade and liberalization in trade policies, on behalf of the governments, help the businesses to flourish and effectively compete in the world market. The writer covers the issues related to the economic development of the developing nations and discusses the aspects that have caused hindrance in the economic development of these countries. Finally the paper cites the example of a developing country (India) and discusses how liberalization in trade has helped it in making remarkable achievements with respect to economic growth and to bring improvements in its industry and trade.
From the Paper
"In an era of increased globalization and advancements in technology, it has become increasingly important for all of the nations of the world to keep bringing improvements in their economic infrastructure and to expand their businesses on the global scale. It has been observed that without a reasonable level of economic development any country cannot gain a competitive position in the world market. This is the dilemma faced by most of the developed nations of the world."

From the Paper
"Throughout history human beings have attempted to produce theories of knowledge and learning. Some of the most basic questions such theories have attempted to answer concern what knowledge is, where knowledge comes from and how we know what is true. Plato theorized that only things that do not change, that are immutable can be known. Limitations of the human senses and perception have always played into theories on knowing. So too has human capacity for ration and more..."

Human rights vs. Human Nature, 2006.
A discussion regarding the justification of war and the issue of human rights versus human nature.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the question of justifying military intervention on the basis of protection of human rights, pointing out that such a question requires a prior assumption. The paper clarifies this assumption to be that countries are capable of benevolent, disinterested altruism. History refutes this assumption. The paper further discusses how individuals and groups within a country may very well have the best intentions to bring relief to the suffering citizens of a brutal dictatorship or civil war; but countless examples, from Vietnam, to Latin America, to Rwanda, to present day Iraq, show a road to hell paved with such good intentions. The political and military forces involved in such maneuvers, by their very nature, preclude truly altruistic actions.

From the Paper
"According to a separate report, "Migrant trafficking and smuggling has become a global business generating huge profits for traffickers and organized crime syndicates." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) In fact in a study conducted by IOM reports "...an estimated 15 to 30 million irregular migrants worldwide." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) Sadly a report of the U.S. Department of Justice states that an estimated "...700,000 women and children are trafficked yearly across borders." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) The reason stated that so many of these migrants go unreported is due to the inherent "...clandestine nature..." involved in so many of the lives and migration of these individuals."

From the Paper
"Abstract
This paper is an investigation of the topic of aggression in both humans and non-human primates with an attempt to understand the causes of such aggression and what links exist between the aggressive behaviors of different primate species.
The literature on primate aggression is reviewed and a number of bases for aggressive behavior are put forth, including psychoanalytic, biological, evolutionary and learned. The validity of each of these explanatory paradigms is examined and the evolutionary and social learning perspectives are established as being the most useful bases on which to create theoretical models of primate aggressive behavior.
A substantial amount of attention is paid to possible evolutionary causes of aggression and evolutionarily based links between the aggressive tendencies..:

Conclusion
From the Paper
"But, there are negatives regarding globalization as well. There are always those nations who enter the international spectrums through corruption and incompetence or simply do not take into consideration the affects they may have on a locality or the global economy. Their problem is that there are no true 'all powerful' regulatory bodies available to regulate international conglomerates and world trade.
One major concern therefore with world trade and globalizations relates to a simple question -- how can we regulate the process without stopping or slowing it down?"

Free Trade vs. Managed Trade, 2002.
A comparison of free trade to managed trade in today's global economy.
1,275 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper compares the values of free trade to managed trade. It begins by defining trade and identifying the ideal trade. The paper argues that free trade is the best policy to increase prosperity and equality in a capitalist society. It describes managed trade as the current situation, as tariffs and trade policy try to create fair grounds for commerce between two nations, as seen through the example of Japan and the United States. The writer states that protectionist policies, as used in managed trade, have been the anthem of the past and have led to war and conflict.
From the Paper
"Trade is the exchange of goods and services between two countries. In order for trade to be successful, both sides must perceive that they benefit from the exchange, or the trade will not take place. In a perfect world, both parties go away from the trade happy that they have ridded themselves of something of which they have surplus, and gained something of value to them. However, in the real world, this does not happen all of the time and one party or the other walks away feeling "cheated."

Free Trade/ Fair Trade, 2007.
An argumentative essay on the benefits of fair trade over free trade.
2,280 words (approx. 9.1 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 70.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper describes how those that promote free trade claim that overall production and profit is the highest good, and define efficiency and success as the ability to produce great quantities and great profit with a business. Those in support of fair trade, however, point out that productivity itself is not a good, but is only useful inasmuch as it improves the lives of the mass of people. The paper examines whether
countries should be allowed to protect their industries with tariffs or control them with regulations, despite the concerns or desires of other countries.
From the Paper
"Of these two arguments, Morris' is by far the most convincing, in part because he is far more holistic in his analysis of the situation. Irwin focuses primarily on the over-all financial gains for nations, but does not specify who those gains go to. Though he seems to believe that an overall per capita increase in national product will raise national standards of living, he seldom produces evidence to this effect and does not take into consideration that what may be true for one nation, such as Japan, would not be true for another nation which was emerging from a long history of serious economic depression (such as former colonies). Moreover, he seems to confuse personal well being with the well being of the international money market."

Trade Spaces in "Trading Spaces", 2002.
A representation of hegemonic masculinity in the popular television series "Trading Spaces".
3,010 words (approx. 12.0 pages), 13 sources, APA, $ 88.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The textual analysis of the TV series "Trading Spaces" explores the possibility of interchanging gender roles in this home improvement showcase. A strong case is built on the unchanging male hegemony. However, the paper shows that the series does focus, in a particular way, on issues of gender and power, and especially on the supposedly changing nature of masculinity. Provides limitless examples from the show to exemplify gendered television.
From the Paper
"Since its launch in September 2000 as a late-afternoon show, Trading Spaces has regularly scored a 2 or 3 household rating in its universe in prime time, according to Neilson Media Research data, peaking one Saturday evening in April at a 3:2 for an episode featuring the Dixie Chicks. With that all-time household record for TLC, Trading Spaces also beat out all broadcast networks in delivery of adults 18-49 that night (the network regularly ranks in the top 10 of all cable networks in delivery of adults 18-49 and adults 25-54). By the conclusion of its third season, Trading Spaces will have taped 65 new episodes compared to last season's 40, and can be seen in 70 million homes in America, and internationally in Canada, Japan, Australia, Thailand, and the Philippines (Foege)."

Human Trafficking, 2007.
This paper discusses the trade of human beings to foreign countries.
1,276 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that human trafficking is the smuggling of people against their will for use mainly in forced labor or prostitution. The paper shows how modern innovations such as the Internet have changed the face of human trafficking in many ways and have made contacting and abducting victims easier than ever before. The paper relates that while most of the victims end up in the slave trade, others are forced into domestic service, hard labor or other forms of work.
From the Paper
"What exactly is human trafficking? Many drug smugglers use people to traffic their drugs across country borders, but that is not the type of human trafficking discussed here. Human trafficking is the actual trade of human beings to foreign countries. Researchers Julie Cwikel and Elizabeth Hoban note the definition, "[A]cknowledges that when deception, threats, violence, and fraud are used, even in cases where women have consented to entering a work contract, the abrogation of their human rights constitutes trafficking" (Cwikel and Hoban)."

Human Rights Abuses by Multinational Corporations, 2008.
This paper is an in-depth analysis of existing legal framework for preventative action and accountability of abuses of human rights by multinational corporations (MNCs).

Abstract
This paper explains that human rights abuses traditionally have been thought of as being propagated by governments against people or by one group of people against another; however, today, the process of globalization is making the multinational corporation (MNC) a prime player on the front of global human rights abuses. The author points out that the western multinational corporation is most responsible for helping to sustain unacceptable standards in terms of labor rights, political rights and environmental policies in nations where reform is severely needed. The paper stresses that it has become more common than not for the entrance of MNCs en masse into a developing economy to stimulate a general and rapid decline in general environmental conditions as well as the establishment of sturdier institutional obstacles to political activism, gender rights advocacy or the advancement of labor rights.

From the Paper
"In recent years, the clothing industry, among others, has escalated its manufacturing in export processing zones (EPZs), otherwise known as economic zones, or free trade zones, particularly throughout developing countries in Asia and South America. While there are differences between these zones, in general they are specific industrial areas that house numerous MNC production facilities, among them Nike, Reebok, Adidas, The Gap, Old Navy and Guess , which make products for export. In some cases MNCs fully own production plants within EPZs and in others the facilities are owned by local businesses, or other third party contractors, which may produce for more than one MNC in the same establishment."

Abstract
The issue of trade in human organs is a loaded gun in the health care industry, where profit generated from the sale of human organs is substantial yet the ethical concerns are almost beyond measure. This paper explores the ethical and the philosophical nature of trading in human organs with the intention of demonstrating why organ trade is so highly controversial that a great deal more investigation is needed before wholesale organ trade is permitted

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of some of the most important issues in the arena of international development and trade. Obviously, especially in the aftermath of Sept. 11, the balancing of the economic, political, social and cultural interests of all members of the international community is a complex and difficult task - and may in the end prove not to be possible at all.
From the Paper
"As last month's events have once again demonstrated, we are all linked together in a single world, one in which the idea of the modern nation-state itself is becoming increasingly less meaningful. Even as political alliances bind the world together, we found ourselves powerfully reminded of the way in which the world is a single entity in terms of its economic systems as stock markets rocked throughout the world after Sept. 11 and talk was of how a recession in the United States would have international implications - even as U.S. markets themselves had been weakened in the past several years due to weakness in Asian markets. This economic interdependence is in part due to the importance of international trade. "
