Abstract
The 1985 film The Trip to Bountiful (Masterson, 1985) offers insight into aging, changing perspectives on time during the aging process, many of the problems faced by older people, and issues of modernization, activism, and disengagement.
From the Paper
"The 1985 film The Trip to Bountiful (Masterson, 1985) offers insight into aging, changing perspectives on time during the aging process, many of the problems faced by older people, and issues of modernization, activism, and disengagement. The film thus illuminates much of what is written in the literature on these subjects.
Cox (1998) notes research showing an inverse relationship "between the degree of modernization and the status accorded old persons" (Cox, 1998, 1) which means that in the more industrialized nations, the older person has a lower status than is the case in less industrialized nations. This is something we can see all around us as our own culture celebrates youth to the exclusion of the old and has been charged with throwing away older people."

Abstract
This paper explains WTO's Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), negotiated in the 1986-94 Uruguay round of talks, which introduced intellectual property rules into the multilateral trading system for world-wide trade, apply to all WTO member countries and protect copyrights, trademarks, geographical indication, industrial design, patents, and trade secrets. The author points out that TRIPS had a unequal impact on developed and developing countries because the developing countries rely more on the production and export of consumable goods, while the developed countries, particularly the European Union and United States, rely on export-based revenues from copyright licensing, which means the TRIPS Agreement actually works against the developing countries by driving up their import bills and resulting in greater transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich countries. The paper recommends that a completely new international trade agreement should be negotiated; the developing countries should be well-advised to be better prepared and more assertive in the next round of trade negotiations and should be better off if they avoid the temptation of accepting short-term gains in exchange for long-term losses.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Even low-technology products, e.g., as brand-name clothing and agricultural products such as new varieties of grains and plants have value-added to them due to research, design and innovation. Creators of such products, whether they are companies, individuals or nations, ought to have the right to stop others from using their 'brainchild' and to have the right to negotiate a mutually acceptable compensation if others desire to use their inventions. Such rights have come to be known as "intellectual property rights." It is generally acknowledged that the protection of "intellectual rights" is an incentive for innovation that benefits the society as a whole."

TRIPS and China, 2005.
This paper is a literature review about the relationship of the regulations of the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS) to intellectual property protection in China especially in the area of pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
This paper discusses the regulations of TRIPS section by section. The author points out that in developing countries, little respect is given to the protection of rights associated with intellectual property, especially in the area of generic and counterfeit medications, which pirate patented drugs. This becomes a particular problem in China because of the size of its population. The paper concludes that within five years China and other WTO countries will have a decrease in the infringement of intellectual property; however, the China's government will have to implement more extensive reforms in order to liberalize the domestic market in China and to allow China and other foreign companies to import and export products more freely.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"U.S. pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies invested the approximate amount of $33.2 billion toward activities of research and development which is about 18% of the sales total of all their combined products. The discovery costs in pre-tax amounts of a new drug experienced an increase from $500 million to $880 million between 1990 and 2003 and as well the time of waiting for approval and the like has grown in length due to regulatory requirements and other associated technicalities. In order to limit the risk in the activities related to therapeutic areas the U.S. companies must find business partners and associates in China and other countries who are trustworthy."

Bounty Hunters, 2007.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of policing and corrections, with a specific focus on bounty hunters. The writer examines whether bounty hunters have too much power. The paper describes bounty hunters as an effective element of the bail bond process and explains that studies show that bounty hunters help keep non-compliant offenders to a minimum. The paper concludes that bounty hunters indeed have powers ordinary citizens do not enjoy, yet they are a vital part of the criminal justice system.
From the Paper
"Many studies indicate the importance of bounty hunters in the bail bond system. Author Reynolds notes, "Only 15 percent of felony defendants released on surety bonds initially failed to appear in court versus failure rates of 26 percent for those released on their own recognizance and 42 percent released on unsecured bonds, according to a 1992 Department of Justice study of the seventy-five largest counties" (Reynolds, 2002, p. 120). In addition, only three percent of suspects are fugitives one year of their release to a bondsman, while over 9 percent remain fugitives if they are released on their own recognizance, and 19 percent remain fugitives if they are released without a security bond (Reynolds, 2002, p. 120). Thus, the bonding process ensures more criminals come to trial, and the bounty hunters are a major reason for this success."

Abstract
A virtual field trip is a teaching tool that uses the internet and different websites to create an experience for the student that is similar to a traditional field trip. This paper examines how there is a substantial amount of current and relative information arguing both sides of this particular subject. Although both traditional and virtual field trips, offer different experiences for the students, the paper argues that no only are virtual field trips better, they are more cost effective, safer, flexible, and are more rewarding for students of today.
From the Paper
"Today's world is developing in a much more sophisticated and technological way than it has anytime ever before. We are immersed in technology every day and it affects our lives very dramatically, whether we like to admit it or not. Academic, community, business, and government leaders are calling upon our schools, colleges, and universities to graduate a different kind of student than a generation ago. This is in response to the challenges posed by the new global economy, where the knowledge and skills of a nation's workers are key to its competitive success, rather than in the past when factors like natural resources and geographic location reigned supreme (Owston 33)."

Abstract
This paper is a personal experience creative paper written about a girl's trip to California. A section of the paper compares different areas of the trip to other areas. For instance, the Garden of the Gods is compared to other mountains. California and the Pacific Ocean are compared to the Lake Lakes around Minnesota. The paper also describes different malls and shopping places.
From the Paper
"Imagine driving from Minnesota to California. Minnesota is one of the most beautiful places to live with many outdoor activities including many old-growth forests that are at least 120 years old. Leaving my home and moving to California was quite an experience. Comparing Minnesota to California is like comparing cold to warm or rain to snow. For instance, the average annual snowfall in Minnesota varies from 36 inches in the southwest to 70 inches near Lake Superior. The trip to California was an experience that changed my views about my mother and also about what I expected California to be like. The trip formed precious memories of different locations we went through including Las Vegas, the Rocky Mountains and Costa Mesa, California. After graduating from Lapeer East High School, my mother and I prepared for our trip to California."

Abstract
This paper explores both the death and aftermath of a young man following his solo backpacking trip to Alaska. During the trip, the author cites authors such as Thoreau in describing the need to individuate in nature. The young man's family is quoted following his death, as they try to come to terms with their loss.
From the Paper
"Alaska proved to be an incredible challenge for the young man. Unknown territory was the most dangerous and threatening to a person such as McCandless. Many locals could not understand how he had let himself drift into such a deserted location. What the locals did not know was that this was McCandless' mission, to live in complete solitude. McCandless just happened to wander into complete solitude at the wrong time. With no one around to help, McCandless' exhausted body could not handle the harmful conditions of the Stampede Trail. Four months on foot traveling the entire west coast would be life threatening to someone as is. For McCandless, the land was his home. Mother Nature provided him with the extra motivation he needed to keep going. In the very beginning of his trip, McCandless took plenty of pictures. Unfortunately his camera did not last very long. McCandless neglected to do any research, all he did was purchase a map and follow where he thought would be a good place to live in solitude. His naive attitude got him in big trouble. Had he gone about his risk taking adventure in a smart way, he would have thought about it as a backpacker would think about every trip. If he would have done some research about the Stampede Trail when he decided that that was where he wanted to go, he would have realized the dangers of going to the middle of nowhere at that time of year. Had he done even a little bit of research, he could have realized that there was a ranger cabin not too far from where he had ended up."

"As I stepped off the plane, the warm air of my homeland caressed my face. I held back tears as a foreign but hauntingly familiar language passed by my ear. After sixteen years, I finally went back to Turkey. Two wonderful Americans had raised me in Clarksville, Tennessee, but I always felt like a part of Turkey. I kept waiting for the feeling that I was out of place but it never came. My favorite city of my visit was Izmir. Izmir is so like Clarksville that it felt like home. In fact, I call the city ?my Turkish home.? "

The bands had no ambitions to do concerts or make and sell records; they were merely playing for their own enjoyment. Success to them was not making the top ten charts or any charts, or fame or fortune. Success to them meant having fun and making enough money to purchase psychedelic drugs."

Abstract
This essay compares the masculinity and femininity of two female characters from the movie "9 to 5". The characters are Violet played by Lily Tomlin and Judy played by Jane Fonda. The essay starts off with in simple layout of the movie and the characters. The next part talks about the similarities and differences of the two characters. The author explains how one character is more masculine and the other is more feminine and relates what these roles mean in real life and how masculine women differ from feminine women.
From the Paper
"What would it say to the women in society if a very feminine-like person was a top executive, the makers probably asked themselves? It would make all of the homemakers, the masculine and feminine, go out and think they could get a job and rise to the top. Moreover, having a feminine-like person as an executive, according to the filmmakers would be very bad. I am very glad to see that today, women are not thought of as just homemakers anymore. People are beginning to value women at home and in the workplace. The only question I want to ask is what took so long?"

Abstract
This paper introduces various modes of biography, then focuses on the creation of a public figure within dictated autobiography - in this case Kweisi Mfume, president of the NAACP. The autobiography "No Free Ride: From the Streets to the Mainstream" is analyzed using current literary theory to ascertain the purpose behind the book.
From the Paper
"In order to be mostly readable, an autobiography has to be of a certain length- so there are decisions on inclusion- events, people, and ultimately- content. One may include shocking events of a confessional nature, only to seek sympathy from the reader; others relate their stories to redefine themselves. Some write their autobiographies as therapy- and some try to cash in their celebrity."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although Proctor and Gamble (P&G) has had a presence in India for nearly 15 years, it has not yet marketed its globally very successful Bounty paper towel product in this country. The author points out that, because currently in India paper towels have a very limited presence and because Indian families are often very traditional in their ways of living and culture, Bounty would have to become one of their social preferences for cleaning spillage and messes. The paper recommends that P&G 'piggyback' Bounty paper towels on existing distribution channels used for P&G's other household items and that the marketing team for this product should be made up of existing P&G India employees.

From the Paper
"This research examines the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS). The research will set forth a brief history of how the agreement came into being and then discuss the major sections of the accord, as well as issue fronts that public scrutiny of it has produced, with a view toward forecasting possible lines of development.
The origin of the World Trade Organization can be traced to two treaties negotiated in Paris, one in 1833 and another 50 years later. In 1833 the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property became the first treaty in history aimed at assisting creators of patentable industrial products of one signatory country in obtaining protection "for their intellectual creations" (WIPO, 2001) in the other signatory count..."
