Abstract
This is a creative political piece that briefly suggests how the U.S. must conduct itself in the future of U.S. - China relations with regards to the Taiwan issue. The Taiwan issue being that Taiwan, while an independent political entity, is still claimed by China and the U.S. officially recognizes China's claim.
From the Paper
"Mr. President, As you requested I have drafted a short briefing book to give my recommendations on what U.S. policy toward China concerning the Taiwan issue should be. This is an issue that is potentially explosive and could, if not handled correctly, turn into a war between the U.S. and China. Thus, it is essential that we keep ourselves informed of all issues related to Taiwan and of all our policies toward both Taiwan and China. Both the People?s Republic of China (mainland China) and the Republic of China (Taiwan, also known as Formosa) claim to be the legitimate governments of China, though Taiwan has recently shifted more toward separation and away from unification. Both have very powerful militaries and a conflict between the two rivals could be devastating. It is therefore important that we first try and maintain the status quo in the relationship between Taiwan and China, and if that should fail that we must handle the matter delicately both to make sure to keep China pacified but also to make sure that Taiwan remains a de facto independent entity as history and ideology demand that we guarantee the rights of the Taiwanese."

From the Paper
"The election in Taiwan in March 2000 was significant because it involved the first time in the history of the Republic of China that power had changed from the traditional ruling party, the Kuomintang or KMT, to another party, the Democratic Progressive Party, which had very different policies for the governing of the nation and its relations with mainland China and the rest of the world. Examining the change of power between the Clinton Administration and the coming Bush Administration as a result of Campaign 2000 may reveal some interesting information regarding the role of media and the changeover between parties."

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."

"SHOULD THE UNITED STATES PRESSURE CHINA POLITICALLY? A POSITION PAPER
Introduction
This research reviews issues related to the development and application of United States (US) foreign policy toward the People?s Republic of China (PRC). The objective of this review is to answer the question: Should the United States Pressure China politically to change its state behavior? The position of this writer is that the US should pressure the PRC on issues whose impacts clearly affect American national interests, but that the US should not attempt to pressure the PRC on issues that are primarily domestic in character.
Many issues are the subjects of dispute between the US and ..."

Consumer Behavior in Taiwan, China, and the U.S., 2004.
A cross-cultural analysis of consumer behavior in China, Taiwan,
and the United States.

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."

U.S. Supplying Arms to Taiwan, 2001.
An examination of America's claim that it is their right to supply arms to Taiwan.
1,100 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes why the United States insists on supplying arms to Taiwan despite major Chinese opposition. It examines the history of the conflict between the U.S. and China and also the Chinese claim of control on Thailand. It explores the political and security reasons stated by the United States for their decision.
From the Paper
"With the end of Communism China has become the next contestant for a Superpower and a rival of the USA. Never having been on good terms with the US, China is presently riled at the US supply of arms to Taiwan. While US supports the right of Taiwan's independence China contends a one China strategy. Supplying arms to Taiwan is thus, against China. However, US must in a matter of speaking provide arms to Taiwan not only to help in its effort for independence---but also to ensure China does not take aggressive action against Taiwan or any other nation in the future."

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).

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.

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."

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."

U.S. and Vietnam?s Misperceptions during the Vietnam Conflict, 2002.

Abstract
Because of the way the Americans fought this war, the Vietnamese had different perceptions or misperceptions of the United States. All of the assigned readings make this point valid. Many of the Vietnamese civilians saw the American soldiers as instruments for America?s leaders wanting their war machine to defeat the North Vietnamese, not to help Vietnam, but just to win. American leaders were making their decisions by listening to certain people ?who didn?t really know what they were dealing with.? This paper explains how the Americans misunderstood the Vietnamese and what went wrong when they tried to take over the fight between North and South Vietnam.
From the Paper
"After reading the assigned books for this paper, I have come to the conclusion that the way the US fought this war was not very honorable. The American military leaders back in the United States did not know enough about what was really going on in Vietnam and as a direct result, they underestimated the power of the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Regular Army. Herr makes this evident when he says ?there is a point of view that the United States got involved in the Vietnam War ... simply because we thought it would be easy.?1 "

Literature about the U.S.'s Beginning, 2005.
This paper discusses Nathanial Hawthorne's "Hester Prynne" and Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" as representatives of the U.S.'s growth into a respectable nation.

Abstract
This paper explains that, from a literature point of view, Nathanial Hawthorne's "Hester Prynne" was the first vision of the Moral Majority, a prejudiced people whose belief in what is right could not be swayed by the forgiveness of understanding of a special situation. The author points out that Hawthorne sets this story not merely within the Puritan framework but also in a general Christian milieu; red is the symbol of Christ's blood and not just a symbol of shame and the devil as seem by the Puritans in this book. The paper relates that Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is one of the most influential anti-slavery books ever written, which really widened the gulf between the North and the South.
From the Paper
"As one reads this story, one can be convinced that Hester Pryenn is one of the strongest and most self-assured women in literature. The Reverend was young, came from England (therefore was not yet inured to the American Puritan ways), and was ambitious. So, if there is one thing that Hawthorne teaches us about the Puritans is that they tend to respect ambition over any sexual sinning. This refers to men, of course, women were left to gossip and knit, bear children and other hardships without complaining, considering it God's work. Hawthorne does not provide any sort of evil characteristic for Dimmesdale. It is his punishment, one supposes, that he is to administer the public punishment to Hester."

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."

Abstract
This dissertation provides an examination of the anthrax mailings to determine how the U.S. Postal Service responded and what organizational structures were in place to facilitate or impede that response. The role and importance of the U.S. Postal Service is discussed and its history and evolution is described. The examination is presented over the course of six chapters and concludes that there were significant failures on the part of the postal service to provide adequate protections for its workers while the investigation was being conducted, largely as a result of an organizational culture that placed productivity above safety considerations.
Introduction
The History and Development of the U.S. Postal Service
Modern Postal Bureaucracy
Anthrax in the Mail: Attack and Response
Values in Conflict
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have resulted in vastly increased scrutiny of many aspects of government functioning, as major wars and national cataclysms have done in the past. In this new environment, it is important to understand what conflicting bureaucratic values may represent the opposing perspectives of providing open access to the postal system versus protecting the system and its workers from terrorist attacks in the future? "Few aspects, perhaps," Wise says, "have received more attention than the question of whether government in general, and the federal government in particular, has the right organizational structure to meet the requirements for homeland security." Immediately following the attacks, the president made a determination that there was a glaring need for improvements in security organization; in response, he established the Office of Homeland Security by executive order on October 8, 2001, less than one month following the terrorist attacks."

Latin America and the U.S., 2004.
By examining various events in recent history, this paper looks at whether the relationship between the U.S. and Latin America is a healthy relationship.

Abstract
This paper discusses the relationship between the U.S. and Latin America, through discussion of the following case studies: Cuba and the U.S. trade embargo; Mexico and the use of U.S. branch plants (or maquiladoras); Colombia and the U.S.A. war on drugs; Brazil and the U.S. environmental standards in the rainforest; Panama Canal and U.S. actions regarding U.S. involvement; and the Chile-U.S. fair trade agreement. The paper finds that the relationship between the U.S. and Latin America is not a positive one for Latin America.
From the Paper
"The issue of Cuba has been a thorn in the side of the US since the Cuban missile crisis. Currently, the US imposes a trade embargo on Cuba, and all of its products. This, coupled with Russia?s disengagement from Cuba, has caused huge economic problems for Cuba, which is rich in natural resources, including sugar and tobacco. Without outlets for its products, Cuba is unable to maximize its profits from its natural resources, and remains a poor country. Yet, it is a country with an excellent health and education system, which is the envy of many developing (and even developed) nations: the socialist government ensures that those resources the country does have are used wisely, to the benefit of the majority of the people on the island."

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."
