Abstract
This paper stresses that there is a direct relationship between the distribution of fresh water and human settlement patters. The author points out that the relationship has existed in the Americas following European colonization. The paper relates the impact of the fur trade and the manner in which settlements engineer the existing water resources to support continued growth.
From the Paper
"Few can deny that there is a direct relationship between the distribution of fresh water and human settlement patters. Cities tend to spring up near rivers and seas, places where commerce and access to drinking water is abundant. However, less well understood is the effect that human settlement patters and commerce have on those same water supplies. Too often, human civilization perceives water as an inexhaustible resource. After all, it falls from the sky. It's taken for granted that if surface water is not abundant then engineering efforts can make it available in order to support continued growth. Unfortunately, the effect that this attitude has on water resources and the environment in general can be devastating and possibly irrevocable."

Abstract
This paper examines the economic benefits of a policy for the marketing of human organs. The paper presents an analysis of current public policy of non-market organs and then takes a look at the advantages and disadvantages of a regulated market for human organs. The paper points out that current policy is not meeting the need for human organs and concludes that a well-regulated market would be a win-win situation for all involved.
From the Paper
"There are many topics concerning public policy that are relevant to microeconomics, however, few that are as morally controversial as the marketing of human organs. By looking at the economic benefits of such a policy, one can better remove oneself emotionally from the topic, and perhaps see the benefit of something that at first appears to be morally repugnant, such as a live donor kidney transplant market. One must fully understand the current state of the situation as well as the alternatives advantages and disadvantages before making an informed decision. One thing is certain, as medical science continues to advance and organ transplants become more and more commonplace around the globe, this topic is certain to continue to be at the forefront of discussion."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at organizing as one of the key components in the effective management of an organization. It points out that, following the planning process, organizing involves the gathering of many resources, all in the attempt to achieve a company's goals. The paper stresses that without this critical step, the strategic goals set by upper management would be little more than pipe dreams or lofty ideas. Numerous resources must be gathered to achieve these goals, often including money, people, knowledge, and physical and technological assets. The paper focuses on two such resources, monetary and human, as they relate to the United States Air Force. The paper concludes that these two resources are the most important assets a company can possess, and work in conjunction with one another to achieve the goals set forth by upper management.
From the Paper
"Human resources are among the most vital of an organization or project. Financial resources provide the framework and means with which to achieve goals, but human resources actually work toward and accomplish the goals. People, and their skills, are usually the most valuable asset an organization possesses. Employees are ultimately responsible for the success or failure of a company, project, or goal. Properly trained and creative employees can succeed where money alone will fail. Many operations in the United States Air Force require large amounts of manpower, and makes the function of human resource organization all the more important. With the growing complexity of tasks due to technological advances, the right set of people and skills must be chosen in order to achieve a goal efficiently and effectively. The military as a whole has evolved into a highly-specialized labor pool in which individuals will often focus on a single aspect of a project (Bateman & Snell, 2004, p. 245); lending a tremendous amount of expertise in the area for which they are chosen. However, with continuing budget constraints modern times have displayed a need for all members to become much more general in nature; though specialization will continue to exist. Specialties are merged at every opportunity in order to cut down on the size of the forces and the overall costs of maintaining such a force. This has created the need for military members to become more knowledgeable than ever when it comes to jobs outside of their specialty. In the past, the formation of a team would be a relatively simple task of choosing one or more members of a needed specialty in order to accomplish a project. In these more efficient times, members may be chosen more for their creativity and adaptability rather than an innate specialty. In theory this widens the pool of members from which to choose, and can increase the chances for success with the advent of unforeseen circumstances and obstacles."

Abstract
This well-researched paper explores human service organizations as primary fundraisers for non-profit groups such as hospitals and community centers. This paper details the various aspects of human service organizations which are an essential component in any community. This paper discusses how the monies are raised and then distributed within the actual organization. This paper discusses the numerous tax benefits available to non-profit groups which in turn are used to pay for services as well as staffing. The writer of this paper also touches on the bureaucratic and financial corruption that can and often does exist in these establishments due to the large amounts of monies that are raised. This paper delves into the available strategies to protect certain non-profit groups from misusing the finances raised. The writer discusses how implementing both scientific and business management theories can curtail corruption and mishandling of finances.
From the Paper
"Protecting the company against being financially misused is also something that is seen as being very significant, since there are some nonprofit workers that will try to use and abuse the organization that they work with for their own personal gain (Goehner, 1999). There are individuals like this all over the world, and nonprofit organisations must safeguard themselves against it as much as possible. Many think that it cannot happen to them, but it can, and does (Goehner, 1999). There are several steps that can be taken, however, to protect a nonprofit organization, and the below steps come from Goehner."

Human Behavior in Organizations, 2004.
Considers human behavior in organizations by examining the link between people's behavior and organizational processes and actions.

»

Abstract
This paper examines how human behavior impacts organizations and how organizations, in turn, impact human behavior. The paper details this reciprocal influence by analyzing the manufacturing company, Jurox. The paper first describes the behavior of managers, including an explanation of why managers behave as they do, followed by a consideration of how the behavior of managers impacts both organizational processes and actions and other employees. The paper then provides an overview showing how behavior of managers, organizational characteristics, employee behavior, and organizational processes and actions are all linked.
From the Paper
"The first step is to consider the specific behaviors of managers. This consideration begins with the general manager. The general manager?s behavior involves having a strong focus on the organization?s operations by constantly reviewing facts and figures, while having little focus on understanding actual operations. This essentially involves a desk-management approach where the general manager constantly reviews the company?s operations and then responds when problems are noted. This approach does not include having a practical understanding of operations. The general manager also has an approach where he demands that action be taken, rather than asking for explanations. This includes that if he is given explanations, he reacts by suggesting that managers are making excuses. The impact of these actions on the managers is that they have no means of responding well when problems occur."

Discusses use of human body parts for transplant operations. Problem of imbalance between supply and demand for human organs. Free market approach. Human organ harvesting. Whether supply will grow as donors or families of cadavers respond to high prices paid for human organs. Four exhibits in addition to paper.
From the Paper
"CONSIDERING A MARKET FOR HUMAN ORGANS: A SUPPORTIVE POSITION ASSESSMENT
In the United States, a country that regularly condemns human rights abuses, including trafficking in human organs, in other countries, amoral economists, politically conservative organizations that regularly condemn fetal cell research, and others who view "the market" as God (with a Capital G), promote the concept of a free market in human organs. The usual justification for this concept is that the non-market regulation of the collection and assignment of human body parts for transplant operations is a failure because it allows the development of an imbalance between the supply and the demand for human organs (Schiller 1).
According to the proponents of a free market in human body ..."

Abstract
This paper reports that even though bureaucracy gives an impression of governmental departments like taxation, and welfare, it is actually found in almost every public spheres. Corporations, churches, the military, labor and trade unions, community centers, schools, hospitals all are essentially facilitated by certain bureaucratic components. Most people take them as important part of their lives, though not readily. However the best part of bureaucracy is that it provides a set of rules and procedures to set everything running in a proper order, transparently, and also ensures consistency and fairness acceptable to all. This paper focuses on evaluating the organizational and power structures while emphasizing the need for refurbishing Human Service Organization in Australia on the lines of bureaucratic organizations.

Restructuring and Reengineering
Conclusion
From the Paper
"One of the major administrative foundations for the creation of bureaucracy is the exception principle. Therein only important and complex problems reach the higher ups while trivial routine issues are solved by the people in the lower levels. Programmed decisions are implemented automatically in accordance with the predefined operating procedures and the unusual problems requiring major decisions are routed to the top. This should make the hierarchy more effective. However there are problems related to the delegation and motivation in bureaucracy; delegating authority and power is not an easy task. It requires immense confidence in sub-ordinates and an immaculate efficacy of the system."

"The Human Rights Business
This research paper discusses the principal human rights commissions and committees, public and private, their charters, activities and performance. The cause of human rights has probably been advanced more by the actions and example of exceptional and dedicated individuals, such as Mahatma Gandhi, Andrei Sakharov and Harry Wu, among many others, than it has by the activities of professional human rights organizations. Some of the latter, such as the European Commission on Human Rights in the public sector, and Amnesty International among private organizations, have made substantial contributions at the margin to man's slow and frustrating progress toward a more civilized world. Since the 1970s, the human rights movement has become larger, better organized and more influential. Important elements..."

From the Paper
"Throughout history human beings have attempted to produce theories of knowledge and learning. Some of the most basic questions such theories have attempted to answer concern what knowledge is, where knowledge comes from and how we know what is true. Plato theorized that only things that do not change, that are immutable can be known. Limitations of the human senses and perception have always played into theories on knowing. So too has human capacity for ration and more..."

Human rights vs. Human Nature, 2006.
A discussion regarding the justification of war and the issue of human rights versus human nature.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the question of justifying military intervention on the basis of protection of human rights, pointing out that such a question requires a prior assumption. The paper clarifies this assumption to be that countries are capable of benevolent, disinterested altruism. History refutes this assumption. The paper further discusses how individuals and groups within a country may very well have the best intentions to bring relief to the suffering citizens of a brutal dictatorship or civil war; but countless examples, from Vietnam, to Latin America, to Rwanda, to present day Iraq, show a road to hell paved with such good intentions. The political and military forces involved in such maneuvers, by their very nature, preclude truly altruistic actions.

From the Paper
"According to a separate report, "Migrant trafficking and smuggling has become a global business generating huge profits for traffickers and organized crime syndicates." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) In fact in a study conducted by IOM reports "...an estimated 15 to 30 million irregular migrants worldwide." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) Sadly a report of the U.S. Department of Justice states that an estimated "...700,000 women and children are trafficked yearly across borders." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) The reason stated that so many of these migrants go unreported is due to the inherent "...clandestine nature..." involved in so many of the lives and migration of these individuals."

"The World Trade Organization, which was created in 1995, was the biggest reform of international trade since 1948. During the previous years, international commerce had been organized under GATT, which established a multilateral trading system. However, by the 1980s major restructuring was needed. The Uruguay Round brought about that overhaul. It was the largest trade negotiation ever."

From the Paper
"Abstract
This paper is an investigation of the topic of aggression in both humans and non-human primates with an attempt to understand the causes of such aggression and what links exist between the aggressive behaviors of different primate species.
The literature on primate aggression is reviewed and a number of bases for aggressive behavior are put forth, including psychoanalytic, biological, evolutionary and learned. The validity of each of these explanatory paradigms is examined and the evolutionary and social learning perspectives are established as being the most useful bases on which to create theoretical models of primate aggressive behavior.
A substantial amount of attention is paid to possible evolutionary causes of aggression and evolutionarily based links between the aggressive tendencies..:

From the Paper
"Organizations, both public and private, are constantly changing and evolving. Every department and agency within organizations are also redefining and changing their roles and responsibilities. Human resource management (HRM) is becoming an important aspect of the management strategy for organizations. The human-asset cost is currently a major portion of the expenses that organizations face. The degree of agreement between the values, cultural norms, and attitudes needed to implement any proposed change and the organization staff's existing attitudes, values, philosophy, and operating style also determines the success of that change. Changes in organizations can be triggered or induced by any external or internal variable affecting the organization. HRM is not a static management tool that can be used in isolation with the rest of the organization. Rather, decisions and policies made for the human resource greatly determines the success or failure of an organization. HRM is not a pure science; and, there is no fixed blue print that is extensible to every organization."
