Abstract
This paper argues that there are three very valid reasons why the U.S. should not engage in any activity that limits population: (1) The world's growth rate is slowing and there is a vast difference between "population control" and family planning; (2) the idea of population control may be racially and ethnically motivated and, (3) more morally important, the government has absolutely no right to control conception or birth much as Communist China has done in its two-children family regulations. The author questions who would be selected or appointed to head such a Population Control mandate were it ever to come to pass and who would do the appointing? The paper supports population protection and education but never population control.
From the Paper
"In a now infamous and declassified document issued under the signature of Henry Kissinger in 1974, he sent a memorandum to the Secretaries of Defense, Agriculture, the Director of the CIA, the Deputy Secretary of State and the Administrator for the Agency for International Development, stating that "The President has directed a study of the impact of world population growth on U.S./ Security and overseas interests..." It is the first known document that spells out the fear of some American politicians for world over-population, not so much what it would do to those nations, but how over-population might harm the "interests" of America."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"The amazing economic development in countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore over the past fifty years has been accompanied by an intense interest on the part of governments in those nations in fertility issues. The nations experienced rapid population growth for much of the last century, but as much of that growth was driven by rapidly improved medical care and other aspects of development that worked to prolong life. The governments therefore implemented education policies designed to encourage people to wait until later in life to marry and to have fewer children. Such family planning worked to slow the fertility rates so that the population growths were slowed and eventually leveled. In other nations such as Vietnam and Laos, where economic development and education did not go hand in hand as expansively and rapidly, the population growth rates seem to have taken longer. This suggests that economic development can work to increase population, but that the growth can be curbed if it is coupled with social and education development, so that modernization is treated as a comprehensive program (Jones)."

Population Control in Post-War America, 2007.
An analysis of contraception and population control in post-war America 1945-1960.

Abstract
This paper discusses the role of contraception after World War II with exclusive reference to the United States. It discusses America's position on domestic population control (quantitative, as opposed to qualitative) during this time, then contrasts these attitudes with America's views on international population control - particularly within developing nations.
From the Paper
"Contraception in the years following the war was a precarious and controversial issue. Everywhere, society seemed to be celebrating and encouraging procreation, with the media constantly including images of glowing domesticity in publications directed at women. Marriage and motherhood were deemed not only appropriate courses for the nation's generation of young women, but were deemed honourable and praiseworthy as well. The economic prosperity that had befallen the nation following their victory in war allowed young families to have more children, and 'the home' soon became the locus of attention, where all the family's money was poured. Contraception was scarcely discussed during these times, since society was so clearly pro-natalist. "

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the role of U.S.- imposed sanctions and asks whether they are effective. It examines the types of sanctions imposed and how this effects the people on the ground. Do they provide more harm than good, when the masses suffer and the leader continue to thrive?
From the Paper
"Economic sanctions are an important tool of US foreign policy. They are used for a variety of reasons and often have substantial repercussions for countries on the receiving ends. Sanctions are used as a way to stop objectionable actions of foreign governments such as: to stop military adventures, arms proliferation, support of terrorism and drug trafficking, and human rights abuses among others. (Department of the Treasury website, 2002) "In conjunction with diplomacy and other measures, sanctions seek to demonstrate US resolve and express outrage, change the behavior of the target country, and deter other countries from resorting to similar actions in the future." (Carter, 1988)"

From the Paper
" In the past half-century, Chinese leaders have implemented numerous programs to limit the nation?s population growth. The problem has only worsened, however. As a result, the predictions have become even more dire, the government?s measures have become even more draconian, and the consequences for China?s women and children have become even more harsh. This paper will examine China?s attempts to limit its population growth, with particular emphasis on its one-child policy and the effect of that plan on the rights of women and children.
I. Reasons for Population Control
The People?s Republic of China is obsessed with controlling its population growth, and with good reason: A fifth of the planet?s six billion people live in China. By comparison to America, China packs four and a half times more people into an.."

From the Paper
"As overpopulation in the 20th century has been threatening the survival and development of China, especially since the ?baby boomers? born in the 1960s reaching child-bearing ages in the late 1970s, the Chinese government has tried to curb the exponential growth of its population in the fear of economic collapse and the arrival of famine by enforcing Family Planning programs such as mandatory sterilization, a one-child per family policy, and force abortion. The Chinese government hopes to control the overpopulation dilemma, which will hopefully stabilize the economy and ensure the citizens a better quality of life. But, in actuality, unlike what the Chinese government may expect, the result of Family Planning Policies causes human tragedy in the rural regions. By Human Tragedy, I mean that the Chinese Government disregards the horrendous human rights violation in the rural regions. The concept of Family Planning Policy is a good idea for declining the overpopulation, but on the other hand, the way people implement the policy may be against human rights. The Chinese government should now focus on the human tragedy which is caused by their policies and which can be solved by more open deliberations??. "

Abstract
This paper states that, because of the ideological differences, national security is a major political issue that troubles the U.S. government in allowing the proliferation and rapid investment in China by U.S. businesses. The paper points out that China?s large population and availability of cheap labor makes it attractive to outside businesses.
The author believes that, if China is to develop further, it must improve its core infrastructure.

From the Paper
"Again, China?s inability to keep up with growing industrialization and as a result growing demand for resources such as electricity can result in a dampening effect on growth, if not addressed. Another consequence of China?s rapid economic growth has been severe environmental pollution and China now accounting for over 13% of the world?s carbon emissions. Failure to check this will lead to growing health care problems, which may add to the burden of providing for the weaker sections of society."

Educational Trends in U.S. and Europe, 2005.
This paper is a research proposal to compare educational trends in U.S. and Europe.

Abstract
This paper explains that the objectives of this research study are to compare the U.S. educational system with the European educational system by identifying (1) three major trends in education today and (2) the critical factors relating to education, which are most likely to improve student performance in the future global economy. The author points out that current studies indicated that time and time again European students score better than American students on critical subjects including mathematics and the sciences; however, the extent to which this discrepancy is relevant is debated by numerous researchers, who claim that a liberal arts education as more frequently encouraged and offered in the United States, is more important than a strictly science-based education. The paper proposes a qualitative study, based on the analysis of documentary data, systematic observation of behavior and in-depth small groups interviews using a questionnaire and a population of 20 professors from select universities and of 10 teachers from local high schools.

From the Paper
"Part of the reason may be European instruction is more vigorous; there are many curriculum differences that should be examined. Students in the United States generally have the option to take classes that are considered rigorous, such as calculus, chemistry and physics to complete high school, whereas European schools generally require at minimum three years of native language, math, foreign language, physics, chemistry and biology. The U.S. system is based on the notion that education should be more flexible, allowing for personal choice and directions, whereas the European system is considered more focused on academic rigor, which is "a consequence of the educational traditions of the Old Continent."

Abstract
This paper explains that between 1870 and 1900 an estimated 12 million people immigrated to the U. S. from all over the world especially from China, Germany, Ireland, England and eastern Europe. The author points out that most immigrants, the majority of whom were young adults, came because of the low wages and difficult living conditions in their homelands. The paper relates that these immigrants generally were met with a somewhat hostile environment that demanded they make behavioral adjustments, accept national social structures and American ideals and assume an American identity
From the Paper
"Between 1851 and 1921, more than 3.5 million Irish arrived in North America, the majority of who were of the poorer farming classes. The proportions of family groups declined, while those of the working-age adolescents and adults increased. And while males dominated other ethnic immigrant groups, the nineteenth and early twentieth century Irish immigrants were distinctive in that the sexes reached near parity in numbers. By the beginning of the twentieth century, Irish immigrants were likely to be young, aged fifteen to twenty-four, unmarried, technically unskilled, Catholic, and from the poverty-mined west of Ireland."

Abstract
This paper investigates the reasons why about two thirds of the prison population consists of minorities. The author points out that all races of people are more likely to report crimes committed by minorities than crimes committed by whites, which leads to more minorities in the judicial system. The paper relates that more minorities live in poverty, which contributes to their inability to post bail or afford a good lawyer. The author states that, under sentencing guidelines, judges are expected to tailor sentences according to specific characteristics of individual offenders. The paper suggests that white people commit crimes because of social influence, which have a lesser sentence: whereas, blacks commit crimes because of attitude and personality, which have a harsher sentence. The paper recommends that the Sentencing Reform Act must be amended and society must find a better means of regulating arrests.
From the Paper
"To start, a crime would have had to been committed. From that point, one of two things may happen. An investigation begins or a witness reports what they have observed. If a suspect is detained they are questioned, or searched depending on probable cause. If enough evidence is gathered a suspect is then put under arrest and is booked, fingerprinted and waits for arraignment. After an arrangement, a suspect is given a bail and if met the suspect is released until their trial date. From this point, a suspect is tried in a criminal court to be judged by either a judge or a jury of his/her peers."

Abstract
The writer of this paper traces the migration of Mexican citizens to America back to the 1920s. For nearly 60 years, Mexico has been the primary source of Latin-American immigrants to America. This paper supplies relevant statistics and data pertaining to this specific topic. Recent census reports state that nearly 50% of America's Latino population was born outside the United States. This paper also delves into the large numbers of illegal immigrants residing in America. In 1995, it was reported that Mexicans comprised up to 62% of the illegal immigrant population residing in America. This paper details the main reasons for the influx of Mexicans into America, including the economic disparities and differences in wage structures between the two countries. Due to the lack of economic opportunity in their country of origin, Mexican citizens continue to migrate to the U.S. in unprecedented numbers.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Economic Reasons Responsible for Migration of Mexicans to the U.S.
Reasons of Mexican Immigration to the U.S., Manner of Arrival, Different Experiences They Have to go Through and the Psychological Effects
References
From the Paper
"It is also important that naturalization rates continue to be low for Mexican immigrants compared to other groups currently. Illegal immigration started to take place from 1965 in a tremendous manner. In 1995, as stated in a report, Mexicans comprised up to 62% of the immigrants who came into U.S. by adopting illegal means. Mexican immigration nevertheless cannot be stopped and coping to exist in harmony might be increasingly intricate. Nearly every year recently, the Border Patrol has prevented approximately 1 million immigrants trying to sneak into U.S. employing unlawful means from Mexico. It is normally anticipated that close to 300,000 cross the borders illegally. In case more than 1 million Mexican soldiers infringed the border, Americans will consider it as a major threat to their national security and swing into action they deem fit."

Is China a Threat to the U.S. Economy?, 2007.
This paper analyzes whether the growing Chinese economy is a threat to the United States.
1,481 words (approx. 5.9 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 48.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how many people feel threatened by the rapid growth of China's economy. Some are concerned that China's large population of low-cost workers will eventually damage the United States' economy. Many worry that China's inexpensive goods will cause trade problems. Despite these concerns, the paper notes that China's growing and evolving market actually presents opportunities for the U.S. economy. The paper explains that China's rapid economic growth has helped improve the world's economy and the U.S. is strong enough to compete with the Chinese companies. The paper adds that Americans stand to benefit by learning from current Chinese values: a hardworking attitude, entrepreneurship, ambition and problem-solving abilities.
From the Paper
"China's fast economic growth, foreign direct investment, and large share in foreign trade markets confirm that China is indeed a rising economic power (Lardy, 2002). For this reason, many Americans are quick to blame China for a loss of jobs in the U.S. and for the increasing bilateral trade deficit that the United States has with China. However, it is also important to consider China as the fastest-growing large U.S. export market and see the opportunities rather than just the threats."

Abstract
Consumer behavior is influenced by many factors: cultural heritage, perceived value of goods or services, economics, and interpersonal issues. In the current global economy, it is inevitable that East and West meet in the arena of consumer goods and services. Because of the size of their populations, the United States and the two Chinas, the People's Republic and Taiwan, could easily emerge as major markets for each other?s goods and services. For any company to be successful in a cross-cultural marketing effort, however, it is essential to pay attention not only to similarities, but to differences, and then to market accordingly. In order to develop a few marketing precepts for creating goods, perhaps with variations in the goods themselves or in the marketing material, this paper looks, in depth, at the cultures of all three nations. The paper then examines what various researchers, experts, and government/trade officials have been saying about markets in the China and Taiwan.
From the Paper
"In China, where incomes have been rising, it is necessary to price items so they are affordable to enough people to become popular; in Taiwan, there would be less price sensitivity and, in fact, the Taiwanese are used to paying heftily for many necessities, such as living space, and would be far less price sensitive than the Chinese. In fact, because they have had a growing market economy for some time, they are very likely susceptible to the same upscale, higher-priced marketing concepts as Americans."
