From the Paper
"As international trade barriers fall to NAFTAs and GATTs, it becomes necessary to examine closely the lifestyles of those countries who promise to become the United States' close business partners. Japan and Mexico top that list. There are many attributes of the Japanese and Mexican lifestyle compatible with American standards, but in one key area these two countries differ greatly from ours: the status of women in society and in the workplace. An examination of the lifestyles of Mexican and Japanese women will reveal a status quo much lower than that enjoyed by women in the United States.
The root cause for this discrepancy lies in the basic social structure of both countries. Although derived from different causes, Mexico and Japan are rigidly hierarchic in social and organizational orientation. Moreover, their hierarchies have.."

"One of the most important trade issues today is that of the protection of intellectual property rights. The United States loses a vast amount of value in intellectual property rights abroad every year by piracy. This research examines the issue of intellectual property rights and piracy in the United States, Japan and Mexico.
The right of intellectual property is defined as "any right existing that is recognized under, inter alia, patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or mask work regimes" (Lackert 162). An estimated $40 billion is earned from foreign sales of United States copyrighted products each year. The audiovisual industry, comprised of motion pictures, videocassettes, music and related products, represents the second greatest export for the United States. Advanced technological innovations and global.."

Abstract
The paper discusses the fact that women have faced various difficulties along the years and the centuries of struggle have yet to reveal a perfect equality between genders. The paper states that, while most constitutions promote gender equality, the practical application of this feature is far from perfect as women are discriminated against in most parts of the globe. The paper also states that the world is only slightly focused on women's sufferings as its only purpose is to grow, expand, and trade - all organized under the umbrella term of globalization. The paper concludes that globalization has had some positive economic effects as it has also managed to globalize the pain and struggle of women.
Outline:
Introduction
Background: Pre-NAFTA Conditions
Effects of NAFTA
Reform Measures to Benefit Women of the Region
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The North American Free Trade Agreement was signed in 1994 with a deadline in 2008 for the complete elimination of tax barriers between Canada, Mexico and the United States. The act has been received and perceived with both content and displease. Aimed to help the development of all communities involved, the agreement between Mexico and the U.S. was only able to bring together the most civilized country of the globe and one of the least developed. "NAFTA set guidelines to eliminate most trade and investment barriers between the United States, Canada and Mexico. What was actually created was a meeting of the first and third worlds. Never before in history has an agreement combined such disparate economies" (Durio, 2002-2006). Both women in Texas and Mexico were affected by the changes, but the largest effects were felt by Mexicans. Texan women had to struggle with a loss of jobs as a result of companies' moving their operations to the borderline."

In many ways these stories depict the inequality between Mexicans and Americans, elites and peasants and men and women. From Mexican servants to wealthy elites and Americans ... "

Mexican Women, 2004.
An examination of the opportunities for professional women in Mexico.
2,373 words (approx. 9.5 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 72.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how, although Mexican women today have more opportunities than their mothers, and certainly, than their grandmothers did, they remain far less likely than men with comparable education, training, and skills to be able to get the kinds of rewarding jobs and careers that men have. It explores some of the problems that Mexican women face in the work force ,as well as the ways in which they meet those challenges, looking in particular at women in the news media as a representative example of the ways in which Mexican women are treated as professionals.
From the Paper
"Mexican television news fails its viewers dramatically in this regard in no small part because of the ways in which larger cultural attitudes about women?s role in society are reflected in and reinforced by the on-air personalities. Although it is especially in border towns like Mexicali, it is also true even in large cities like Mexico City that the worst gender stereotypes of both nations are often acted out on the air. One of the results of this is that what serious journalism is done within the realm of broadcast journalism is done by men. This relegation of women to reporting about scandals and gossip and other forms of ?yellow journalism? not only degrades the quality of the news in terms of informing citizens about the important issues of the moment but it also lowers the status of women in Mexican society."

Women in Politics, 2007.

Abstract
The paper explains how the United States, Canada and Mexico have different political histories and the role of women in the political systems of each country differs accordingly. The paper discusses the similar situation in the United States and Canada and shows how the role women have in both countries is more advanced than in Mexico. The paper discusses the Mexican political system, a regime marked by one-party rule and incomplete political development. The paper concludes that the place of women in Mexican society is still secondary and it will take time before Mexico achieves parity with the U.S. and Canada.
From the Paper
"The relationship of the citizen of a given country to political action depends on the social and political history of that country and the traditions that shape the political system. This is true for both men and women, though historically women have had less direct involvement with the political system because women have been socially marginalized in most countries for at least some period in history. The three countries involved in the North American Free Trade Agreement, have different political histories."

Japan's Modern Myths, 2007.

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses Professor Carol Gluck's views regarding Japan as portrayed in Chapter 5 and 6 of 'Japan's Modern Myths: Ideology in the Late Meiji Period'. The writer points out that Professor Gluck argues that Japanese society was and is a society founded upon the values of the collective, rather than upon the individual. Further, the writer notes that her view of Japanese civic virtues is extremely broad and suggests that on every level of public and personal morality, the nation is given greater value than the lives of its citizens. The writer then discusses that, in Chapter 6, Gluck paints the period as a constant struggle between the forces of nationalism and collectivism versus the "social fever" for modernity, or Westernization, that is still present and, in Gluck's opinion, was a natural, human impulse in contrast to the expressed will of the state.
From the Paper
"Gluck suggests that the Meiji policies of the late 19th and early 20th century Japanese government leading up to World War II made civil obedience and national sacrifice a religious calling. Gluck's views of the causes of World War II thus take on a very socially deterministic cast. In her view, because the Emperor was divine, everything he did and was done in the name of Japan was seen as right and just. In terms of Japanese religion, although Gluck argues that although it might seem Buddhism had had a strong religious presence in Japanese morality, she believes this should not be over-emphasized, stating that Buddhism was often perceived as a foreign religion by the state In contrast, Gluck stresses the emphasis on the indigenous Japanese religion Shinto as a state religion. She sees Shintoism, as opposed to the imported philosophy of Buddhism, to form the true philosophy of the civil cult of the state. She points out that the Shintoists continued to press their claims for the institutionalization of Shinto as a separate office of state, apart from Buddhists."

"Mexico Profundo", 2004.

Abstract
This paper discusses how Bonfil Batalla writes passionately about the abuses of power within Mexico in his "Mexico Profundo: Reclaiming a Civilization". It looks at how beginning with the colonization by Spain and enduring until the present, the disempowerment of the group that came to be identified as Indian has lead to an internal struggle between the imaginary Mexico and the Mexico Profundo. It explores how the misuse of power physically and psychologically has been utilized to subjugate the Mexico Profundo and to attempt to destroy what is uniquely theirs. It also shows how Batalla writes that now at the time of the collapse of the civilization project envisioned by the imaginary Mexico, an opening exists for readjusting the power balances and forging ahead with the tremendous resources available within Mexico.
From the Paper
"Within the Mayan community of the Chamulas explored by Rosenbaum (1993), they have decided to have the elders of the community elect officials for their own council from those who have had positions on religious cargos and although the state?s council has final authority the Chamula?s council is able to make decisions in alignment with their value system. The Chamulas have developed a very strong cargo system and have found a way to empower themselves regarding civic politics and, thereby, have been able to feel the penetration of imaginary Mexico less than other Indian communities. Their cargo system is well structured, so although most of the people cannot afford a cargo, they can participate as assistants expanding those participating to about a thousand and, thereby, confirming the communal activity that reaffirms the Mesoamerican culture."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Roman Catholic Church has a strong political hold on the hearts and minds of Latin American and the influence of the Roman Catholic Church has kept a majority of Latin American women chained to the cycle of childbirth. Despite the fact that a majority of Latin American women have been the "beneficiaries" of universal suffrage since World War II, family planning that was not in accordance with the Roman Catholic Church's edicts has been severely limited. A woman who is unable to obtain or hold a job because of her constant gravid state is unlikely to put emancipation before basic survival. Unfortunately Latin American's economic condition has suffered because of as burgeoning uncontrollable population explosion which compromises the health and welfare not only of the women large numbers of children but the children themselves."

From the Paper
"The commercial banking and financial sectors of Japan and Mexico are compared. The commercial banking and financial sectors in both countries are privately (as opposed to governmentally) owned; however, government in each country exercises high levels of control over the commercial banking and financial sectors through regulatory action.
Deregulation in the Japanese financial system was initiated in the late-1970s. The process of financial liberalization in Japan has been slow and deliberate over the past 23 years. A major focus of the deregulation policy has been to improve the efficiency of Japanese corporate finance. The policy developments stemmed largely from pressures external to the Japanese domestic banking sector itself, such as the substantial increase in government debt as a result of changes in the flow of ..."

Abstract
This in-depth paper explores the sometimes fragile alliance between Japan and the U.S. and ponders whether or not Japan is capable, from a technical standpoint, of creating nuclear weapons. This paper delves into the possibility that Japan may already have nuclear weapons in its possession. A large number of Japanese citizens and successive governments have favored continuing the alliance with the U. S. which involves enormous reliance on American security and military power to protect Japan from attack. This paper defines article 9, the renunciation of war, of Japan's Peace Constitution. The writer also discusses the economic benefits in developing and maintaining nuclear weapons. This well-researched and informative paper considers some of the means Japan could employ to gain greater military autonomy which includes completing the development and production of advanced weapons such as the FSX fighter. This paper also discusses the various groups and parties that oppose nuclear weapons including the Japan Council against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs.
From the Paper
"Considering that the huge military-industrial complex of United States is an often-criticized force in the American economy and that maintaining a similarly high level of expenditures on weapons was a critical factor leading to the economic and political failure of the former Soviet Union, many in Japan are understandably content not to have a defense industry of a comparable magnitude. But there are some Japanese willing, and even eager, to duplicate or surpass American state-of-the-art military technology. Those who wish to see Japan more independent of reliance on the American power, who believe Japan's future is dependent on an autonomous defense establishment, favor the concept of Kokusanka or, indigenization of defense production."

"Introduction
McDonald's is one of the most successful American companies in terms of exporting not only its products, but its entire method of operations to foreign markets. Begun by an enterprising milkshake machine salesman who was curious why a single hamburger store would need multiple machines, McDonald's is a combination of capturing and riding changing American trends with a savvy marketing program. Known for hamburgers, french fries and milkshakes, the company has built its original humble beginnings into a worldwide operation that spans nearly 90 countries and which has one of the most recognized brand names in the world (Whalen, 1995, p. I4). This research considers the success of McDonald's, with a particular emphasis on the company's foreign operations, examining the company's operations in six countries and the ..."

"CURRENCY MOVEMENTS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE
This research examines currency movements and international trade. The examination focuses on Japan, the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
In Japan, the economic slowdown has been the most protracted in the post-war period, with last year being the fourth successive year with negligible economic growth (Morgan & Pain, 1996, pp. 26-55). The continued weakness of the Japanese economy reflects adverse developments within the Japanese financial system as well as the prolonged real appreciation of the yen since 1990. There are some signs that the economy may be about to gain momentum, with an improvement in business sentiment and a significant relaxation in the stance of both monetary and fiscal policy. "
