Abstract
In this paper, the author examines the need to globalize nations, in particular he highlights Uruguay. The paper starts with a thorough look at all of the different development theories that there are for globalization. He mentions that economic development is basically about improving the factors of the productive ability of an economy - national, state or local. These factors include land, labor, capital and technology. This he calls the economic development theory. The author also mentions other theories and then begins to relate them to the economy in Uruguay. He looks at how Uruguay has suffered slow growth for decades, even though it was one of the most developed economies in Latin America in the early 1900s. The author proceeds to elaborate on this and apply his theories to improve the development of the economy in Uruguay. In conclusion, he states that Uruguay will have to adopt a more business-friendly approach if it intends to achieve the economic development that it is has the potential to achieve.
From the Paper
"What happens next is a vast circle of development.The higher wages - and additional wages from those newly employed - are pumped back into society in the form of living expenses, frivolities and taxes. The living expenses and frivolous spending usually go directly into the pockets of local businesses. The local businesses provide basic human services, and providing them with more money revitalizes the local economy. The government pumps tax dollars into the local economy in the form of improvements (including hospitals, buildings, infrastructure and roads), education, social services, and so forth. The result, over time, is a more educated, better paid, healthier and less impoverished workforce. The better educated, healthier citizenry will live longer and healthier lives, meaning they will require fewer days off work for medical reasons. More importantly, it will reduce training costs to the state (in the form of education) and local business (in the sense that their employees will be working longer, and even new hires are likely to have similar training)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Uruguay, a small South American nation has complex international relations, particularly with the United States. It looks at how, through economic and military treaties and alliances, Uruguay's position within the world order is assured, and thus Uruguay benefits. In particular, it examines how the international exchanges between the United States and Uruguay are beneficial to both nations and how both work with each other to maintain the current world order and use economic agreements to improve all aspects of international relations.
From the Paper
"Uruguay finds itself in a position in which, to maintain its international power strategically, has to rely on treaties, other powers, and the world order. Within the elements of the international strategic equilibrium, Uruguay must fight to maintain its position within international society without actual fighting or with its own capabilities to exert power. One objective is a favorable world order and this order is one which can be helped by the promotion of American values. The primary way to promote American values is through promotion of American trade values. For example, the administration of Jorge Batlle was allied with the United States in support of its Free-Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) (EIA 2/2 2005). This alliance in support of America's position was contrary to the Mercosur customs union which Uruguay is also a part of in favor of pro-American policies. "

From the Paper
"Young people in Uruguay have a great deal of freedom when compared to children in other South American countries. Girls in particular have few of the expectations that are put upon girls in Argentina or Brazil. For the most part girls do not need chaperones when they are out on their own. There is an inherent expectation that most women will have some sort of career. Nearly half of the school population in Uruguay is female. (Family Life, Pg 2)"

Abstract
The paper examines the film "State of Siege" about the interrogation and assassination of a CIA case officer by unnamed South American urban revolutionaries. The paper reveals that its story is based on real-life events in Uruguay when a U.S. Agency for International Development (AID) official, Dan Mitrione, was kidnapped by the Tupamoros (a left-wing urban guerrilla group) and eventually executed. This paper offers a summary of the movie and discusses how far it has depicted the real life events by researching who the Tupamoros and Dan Mitrione really were. The paper notes that the film is criticized for being biased against the Americans, but concludes that it is largely an accurate portrayal of events that took place in Uruguay in 1970.

"Gavras then uses his familiar technique of flashbacks, rapid cross-cutting from one location to another and aggressive background music (also used in Gavras' other notable films, "Z" and "The Confession") to create chilling suspense and to move the film forward at a relentless pace. We are shown a flashbacks of the kidnapping of Santore by the young guerillas; interspersed with scenes of the local (read Uruguay) Parliament arguing over the existence of a paralegal police death squad, back to the rebels' interrogation of Santore, evidence of America's interference in South American politics and so on and so forth until the film ends with a scene of another American AID official being received at the airport, watched by a defiant face (a member of the Tupamoros, perhaps?)--signifying the continuance of the frustrating cycle despite what has just taken place."

"Fifty-one percent of the population of Chile is comprised of women yet women only account for thirty-seven percent of the total labor force of the country. Female workers presently earn on 65% of their male counterparts for performing the same jobs however "women and men are equal under Chilean law and the state is obliged to provide both sexes equal employment opportunities. Women possess a great deal of influence and are very active in almost all fields of Chilean society." (Ibid) Even so men have a status that is higher than that of women in the country."

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."

Abstract
This paper explains that the religion of Christian Science impacts the health care of religionists because Christian Scientists generally choose not to consult doctors, use medicine, and even refuse vaccines unless mandated by law. The author points out the extensive influence of the Spanish culture, with Roman Catholicism as the main religion that is prevalent in Spain and several other countries such as Argentina, Bolivia, Columbia, Cuba, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Equatorial Guinea, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, and Venezuela. The paper relates that the main religion practiced in India is Hinduism, though India has large population segments that follow the Christian and Islamic faiths. The most commonly followed traditions are those that are linked to popular Hindu festivals, such as Diwali or the festival of lights, which is celebrated every year to mark the anniversary of Lord Ram?s return to Ayodhya from exile.

From the Paper
"The Roman Catholic religion believes in the Holy Trinity of a creator God the Father; Jesus Christ, His Son; and the Holy Spirit. Other beliefs that characterize the religion are the original sin; the forgiveness of sin; the second coming of the Lord; and life after death. Given its belief in sin, the religion offers the hope of salvation through its sacraments and baptism. Infant baptism is encouraged to erase the original sin and as a start to a spiritual life through the Church. In addition, the Roman Catholic Church holds that the mass is a continuation of the sacrifice made by Christ and thus teaches the doctrine of transubstantiation or that the bread and wine at communion actually become the body and blood of Christ. Generally, the religion has no dietary restrictions. However, it advocates abstaining from meat and meat products on Ash Wednesday and the Fridays of the month of Lent."

Abstract
The World Trade Organization (WTO) was established by the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and introduced an important new phase into the development of international trade regulation. This paper discusses the origin, history, function and organizational structure of the WTO.
From the Paper
"For the first time in history, an international trade organization established a regulatory and judicial structure through which it could regulate virtually every aspect of global trade. The WTO is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland and is headed by a biennial Ministerial Conference. Operations are overseen by a Director-General, who heads the Secretariat, and by the General Council, which comprised of representatives of each member state and meets as required to take action on issues brought forward by either the Trade Policy Review Body or the Dispute Settlement Body."
