Conclusion
From the Paper
"The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has been an important force behind increasing trade between Canada, Mexico, and the United States. "By increasing trade primarily between Canada and the US and Mexico and the US, the economies of both Canada and Mexico have grown more integrated with, and dependent upon, the US market" (Moore, 2004). One argument for Cuba to join NAFTA is that the two are already linked politically. In other word, Cuba offers a form of a "release valve for Canadian and Mexican insecurities about sovereignty in the wake of NAFTA" (Moore, 2004)."

The Buddhist Economy and the United States, 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains that the underlying theme of Buddhist economics is the liberation from the confines of need and greed; goods and services exist only to meet need, not to meet ego-needs to fill lives with things and services that are not necessary for survival. The author believes that the Buddhist economy would not be accepted in the United States because the American public is used to a capitalist system. The paper stresses that a major drawback is that the Buddhist system employs the tenets of a religious faith, while the capitalist system works hard to keep business and religion separate.

From the Paper
"The free market forces are the system by which the merchants and society determine the price of services and goods that they wish to offer the consumer. The system of capitalism is built on the belief that state and business activities should be separate. It further believes that a system should be strong enough on individual effort, profit and merit to survive and grow without the interference by government agencies and offices. It is referred to as private business or private enterprise. While there are situations in which private businesses provide contractual work or services for government need the government does not choose the business to provide those services except through a bidding process. The capitalist system is based on the belief that the government?s only role should be to regulate and make sure that the protection of the laws of the land are enforced."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the ways that various populations differ in their ability to access food and if this affects their obesity rates. It then looks at how the abundance of readily available food in the United States, combined with a reduced need for physical activity, has led to an unprecedented percentage of people in its population who meet the criteria for either obesity or overweight. The paper specifically proposes to compare how children from economically and environmentally disadvantaged areas fare as adults when making food choices (having been exposed to good health practices as children), compared to peers who have not been exposed to good health practices at that same age.

"The World Health Organization (WHO) defines obesity by using the body mass index (BMI), which divides weight in kilograms/pounds by the square of the individual's height in metres/inches. Any individual with a BMI of between 25 and 30 was determined to be overweight, while individuals with a BMI over 30 were determined to be obese (Sanmartin et al., 2004, p. 8). Several causes exist for both obesity and overweight. These conditions can be caused through 1) overeating, 2) a surplus of the individual's daily intake of calories coming from poor nutritional sources, 3) a lack of exercise, or 4) any combination of these causes. This paper will not address overeating as a cause of obesity and overweight."

Abstract
This paper explains that the invention of the steam engine, which led to the steamboat and the steam locomotive, began mankind's technological leap forward that continues today. The author points out that, secondary to the invention of the steamboat was the locomotive steam engine, which allowed direct transportation from cities on the Atlantic Ocean to cities on the Pacific Ocean without having to traverse the Cape of Good Hope in the extreme southern hemisphere, making it more affordable to ship goods and farm products. The paper relates that public transportation was not available in the United States until after the Civil War; its availability was responsible for the creation of the suburbs.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"How did the invention of the steam engine change the face of American history? The United States was rich in rivers, most especially the Mississippi Rivers that connected the Great Lakes (eventually connected by the Hudson River through the Erie Canal from Chicago to Louisiana. The Louisiana Purchase would have been a poor bargain if it did not include access through the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Until the steamboat became practical, large river barges were poled by hand and smaller boats such were paddled. Both methods were highly labor intensive and slow. Sailboats were not practical outside of the oceans and Great Lakes. Even then, the vessels were dependent on prevailing winds (or lack thereof)."

From the Paper
"Financial services are also a burgeoning part of the Japanese economy. Japan boasts some of the world's largest banks, and they fund a variety of projects and services around the globe. They are also branching out into other areas, such as investment in film and television (i.e. Sony Pictures in the U.S.), and in outsourcing, especially in the financial and information technology service sectors."

Abstract
While Marian Wright Edelman, Anita Hill, Magic Johnson and Collin Powell are good examples of black leaders that are admired for their skills and character, there has also been enormous resistance in business, political organizations and communities to reduce racial inequality. The paper shows that even forty one years after the Civil Rights Act was passed in order to end racial discrimination in 1964, it is still very tough to be black in United States. The paper shows that, even more frustrating, the economic gains for blacks seem to have ended and even receded and a large group of black Americans remain lodged in the increasing social chaos of urban ghettos.
From the Paper
"Discriminatory actions by individuals and organizations are not only pervasive, occurring in every sector of society, but also cumulative with effects limited neither to the time nor the particular structural area in which they occur. This process of discrimination, therefore, extends across generations, across organizations, and by one generation in one area to future generations in many related areas. We can say without a doubt that economics is not only the root cause of racism but also the underlying force that keeps the oppression in place."

Abstract
The paper discusses the high expenditure on health care in the United States. It explains that even though the expenditure by the health care industry has been very high, it has been unable to sufficiently meet the requirements of the young deprived, the jobless or the amateur worker. The paper reviews literature related to these issues. In conclusion, the writer states that medical health care has become a drama in which political actors manipulate it for their own good and that it will take a long time before the situation is able to be rectified.

From the Paper
"Moreover, the situation appears to be declining every day in the health care sector. Medical misconduct suits have arrived at an unsurpassed high. Every novel report of some possible health benison sets off a tedious and frequently haphazard charge to take on and execute that novel health breakthrough. Autoimmune, tense, as well as, ecological illnesses have attained to the magnitude of plague. Cancer is widespread. Americans have turned out to be obsessive for their health. Americans fervently fret on the subject of their healthcare reimbursements and whether the health-care structure will maintain them in time of problem. Those lucky enough to preserve health benefits fear that freedom to prefer their medical doctor is soon going to be taken away from them. Fear of becoming extinct has substituted the delight of living as Americans more and more anguish on the subject of their health."

Globalization and the United States, 2004.
This paper discusses that globalization is a good thing, since it has increased international trade; but environmentalists, trade unionists, and anti-poverty demonstrators argue that globalization creates more problems than it solves.

Abstract
This paper explains that opponents to globalization claim the gains made by Western counties due to increased international trade have been at the expense of poorer countries. This paper states that globalization?s export of jobs away from the United States has led to employment insecurity for many Americans, especially manual workers, since companies have been establishing production lines overseas where they can take advantage of low-wage economies. The paper relates that globalization has spawned a sort of ?international Americanism?, which threatens the national identities and cultures of smaller and weaker economies.
From the Paper
"Since the 1970s workers have become more protectionist, and have tended to blame the international economy for the poor labor market for less-skilled workers over the last 30 years. According to these researchers, two-thirds of Americans think that international trade has been a main cause of U.S. living standards, and 30% of Americans believe globalization is the primary cause of slow wage growth. Furthermore, 56% of Americans believe that the increased disparity between rich and poor in America is due to the growth of international trade. Less-educated workers are more likely than highly educated workers to think that globalization has increased inequality in the United States."

"The United States was once under British rule and in fact the American Revolution was fought for the purpose of removing the U.S. Colonies from the rule of the British. The American Revolution was fought and independence was won establishing America as an independent and separate nation from Great Britain but only after a grueling war. Great Britain was determined to keep the Colonies under British rule and after an attack on Charleston and lives having been lost the colonists stated their intentions in a document entitled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessities to Take up Arms" and the action to break away from what most considered to be their mother country began. It has been stated in history that most of the colonists identified with the British and that many of the colonists considered themselves to be Britons."

Abstract
The paper describes how the film, "Good Night, and Good Luck"
takes place in the hostile environment of the "Red Scare" in 1950s America. The paper relates that "Good Night, and Good Luck" tells the story of the CBS broadcast team who overcome immense pressure from sponsors, owners and even the government in an attempt to broadcast the truth to America. The paper examines how the characters face three ethical dilemmas that are a reflection of the difficult ethical choices that exist in the media.
From the Paper
"There are numerous ethical issues facing the characters in "Good Night, and Good Luck." The primary ethical issue is Edward Murrow's quest to maintain what he believes his right from wrong in his reporting of the news. A second ethical issue is Joseph McCarthy's apparent unethical decision to use lies to get his point of view across. He calls anyone that crosses or dares oppose him a Communist. A third ethical decision involves the CBS Studio who decides to turn a blind eye to the in house marriage which is against company rules and regulations."

Abstract
This paper explains that the film "Good Night and Good Luck" is a social commentary and biography of 1950s era CBS television newsman Edward R. Murrow (1908-1965), and the period of the "McCarthy Years". The author points out that the transitions between film shots and real footage was made excellent because both the entire film and the real footage are in black and white and almost always the people inside the CBS studio itself are seen looking at television monitors where this footage is playing. The paper relates that the film was effective visually as a depiction of the 1950s because it was shot it entirely in black and white (as there was no color television in the 1950s), the 1950s-era costumes, the prevalence of cigarette smoke inside the workplace, the 1950s jazz instrumental and vocal music and the overall stark, "no frills" atmosphere of this era and setting.
