Abstract
This paper examines how the end of World War I saw the first crucial advancement toward female enfranchisement. It looks at how, in the first half of the 20th century, the capitalist industrial revolution in the production of textiles showed the way to an augmented degree of production. It discusses how this industry, with larger-scale food processing, as well as garment manufacturing and non-revolutionized domestic service, presented wage jobs for women, first and foremost. It shows how, as the capitalist market economy developed, women were brought into wage work only in certain separated segments. It evaluates how, though even badly compensated with inadequate or interrupted work eras, single women almost certainly united somewhat during this period and how married women, nonetheless, continued to put up with the most important burden of non-market production, raising families.
From the Paper
"In speaking of women, an association less structurally organized than the working class but also a combination of very varied strands. Women prepared within political parties, as well as trade unions. They shaped feminist associations, civil rights associations, as well as community-based reform coalitions addressing subjects such as abortion and birth control, housing, prices, public health, alcohol, suffrage, and hygiene. Most prominently, it was the changing memberships, as well as addressees, the impulsive expressions for problems and reasons, the regular emergence of new actors and vanguards that made the women's association emerge exaggeratedly new, considerably varied, and also quite incompetent (Donald, 1963)."

Abstract
This paper analyzes how companies that promote flexible working hours allow workers to be more productive and independent. It also looks at organizational problems within the company that can be created if not properly managed.
From the Paper
"Until recently, the patterns of work time in America were essentially predictable across the board; 40 hours of service, approximately 9 to 5, Monday through Friday. However, a new interest has emerged in finding new ways to schedule work. In today?s constantly changing and increasingly diverse society, "off the rack" work schedules are no longer valid. Given the diverse work time needs of both employers and employees, changes must be made to adapt to the unpredictability and stress of modern life."

From Old World China to the New World America, 2004.
This paper reviews three novels, based on the generational transition from China to America: Amy Tan?s ?Joy Luck Club? and ?The Bonesetter?s Daughter? and Maxine Kingston?s ?The Woman Warrior".
835 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 29.95

Abstract
This paper explains that Amy Tan and Maxine Kingston?s central themes reflect the inherent difficulties faced by the foreigners in a different land. The author points out that, in ?Joy Luck Club?, Amy Tan employs the stories of four Chinese women and their highly Americanized daughters, bred and born in America. The paper states that Maxine Kingston reveals a great deal about the Chinese convictions pertaining to their culture and traditions, which have many superstitious beliefs in her book, ?The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood among Ghosts?.
From the Paper
"However, the basic problem that thoroughly reflects the uneven, unbalanced and highly disturbing transformation from the old world to the new world is that of the lack of comprehension and interest of the young girls that belonged to these four Chinese women. Born and brought up in America, Jing-Mei, Lena, Rose, and Waverly all exhibited little emotional attachment to the culture they never experienced living in a foreign land and consequently showed clandestine aversion towards their own native cultural values. The four Chinese women who were also good friends, wanted comforts, luxuries and all the positive American values for their Chinese American daughters but also desperately wanted to inculcate a strong sense of discipline arising out of the Chinese traditions and cultural values into their daughters."

Modern Cloning and "Brave New World", 2007.
A comparison of modern cloning technology to the process imagined by Aldous Huxley in his work, "Brave New World."

Abstract
This paper examines modern cloning technology in light of the trepidation to this process as presented in the novel "Brave New World." The paper compares Aldous Huxley's image of cloning in "Brave New World" to the controversies this process inspires today. The paper contends that although today's cloning does not hold the place in society that it did in Huxley's work, the process must still be monitored and controlled. Also described are the various types of cloning and the benefits cloning can offer humanity.
From the Paper
" While there are different types of cloning, cloning itself is creating an identical copy of something. DNA cloning for instance is a common practice in biological labs since the 1970s and involves "the transfer of a DNA fragment of interest from one organism to a self-replicating genetic element such as a bacterial plasmid" (Human Genome Project 2006). Other types of cloning involve creating entirely new organisms and this is known as reproductive cloning as it "generates an animal that has the same exact DNA as another" (Human Genome Project 2006). Cloning is a broad term that comes to mean some kind of reproduction asexually."

"The Working Poor", 2005.
An analysis of "The Working Poor: Invisible in America", by David K. Shipler.

»

Abstract
This paper discusses Shipler's book, which is an insightful look into the plight of the working poor in modern America. It explains that Shipler creates a complex but compelling portrait of the struggles of the working poor to escape the cycles of poverty. It concludes that it is only through the creation of a political will, and the ensuing intervention of government, community, and the corporate world that the working poor have any hope of improvement in their lives.
From the Paper
"In The Working Poor, Shipler presents a thorough portrait of the lives and circumstances of the 35 million working poor in America. These Americans are those who are caught in relatively low paying, dead-end jobs, and who face enormous struggles in order to better their lot in the word. There jobs often offer little in the way of benefits or opportunities in advancement. They are the people that we see every day, but do not acknowledge: the workers in fast food restaurants and bakeries, stockers at major stores, and others who provide menial labor in America."

Working Women, 2005.
This paper provides a feminist and sociological analysis of Canadian working women.
3,150 words (approx. 12.6 pages), 8 sources, $ 124.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper offers a feminist and sociological analysis of Canadian women that reflects the economic conditions and the psychological gender role allocations that have limited women to the household in a patriarchal Canadian society. The paper examines these facets of Canadian life and illustrates how one can see how women were up against immense odds when seeking entrance into a more independent role away from marriage and into the world of business. The paper explains that these new roles evolved from the 1950s into the modern era of the 1990s and the 21st century.
From the Paper
"The basis of this sociological and feminist study on women in the workplace will analyze the historical progress of women in the family and economic structures that had limited them in the past. By offering new insights into the development of women workers in the Canadian business world, one can objectively rationalize the competence and competitive nature of women in relation to men. By realizing the past gender roles normatively associated with women in the household, working women have taken great steps in the past 25 years in becoming a competing force to males in a patriarchal business orientated system."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that dealing with different personalities in a company or department is often difficult and that the challenge is one that is continuous and ongoing. The writer points out that the nature of work has changed quite a lot in the last few years and working with individuals in this context has become more difficult and complex. The writer maintains that there are many companies that are fraught with tension, stress, low morale, and anxiety and all of these factors as well as others can foster feelings of despair, helplessness, anger and even rage in many employees. The writer notes that some have seen job security disappear and employment shrink in many areas while other countries in the world are expanding their jobs quite rapidly. The writer explains that some of this is because the United States is sending jobs overseas and some of it is simply due to the global marketplace and the restructuring of much of the business world.
From the Paper
"Originally, employees in many corporations worked from 9 to 5. Now, however, many of these same employees are expected to work up to 60 hours or more per week in an effort to help their company because the economy is so globally defined now that there is so much more to do in an organization. Raises and benefits for many of these employees that are working longer hours and doing harder jobs have not been able to keep up with the inflation that has been growing within this country."
"There are also many employees out there that truly love their work but they actually hate their jobs. This may seem impossible but it is not. Even if an individual really loves what he or she is doing this does not mean that the manner or context in which he or she is doing it is enjoyed. Because of the dissatisfaction and upset that so many employees are facing many organizations are full of employee problems with work. Not only has the nature of work changed a lot but different personalities and ideas within the same department often make it difficult to get all individuals to agree on one thing."

Abstract
This paper identifies the major causes of World War I and World War II. The causes of both wars lay in the political and military rivalries and consequent alliance building among major European powers. However, the rise of fascism and the Great Depression put World War II in different contexts. The scale of destruction is greater in World War II, but major changes in Western ideas emerged from the destruction of World War I.

A look at the growing population and what this means for world food supply.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the food supply available in the world and compares it to the rapidly growing world population. The author examines world food distribution and how it effects world hunger arguing that distribution is unequal. Includes arguments by various critics.
From the Paper
"The increase in food production over the past 200 years has been greater than the increase in population. So we ask, Why do nearly twelve million children per year die of hunger? That number is more than the number of people who died each year in World War II, and these are children, not soldiers, we are talking about. (Lappe 2). It has been proven that there is enough food in the world for everybody to be sufficiently healthy. The problem is that this food has not been distributed equally among countries. With the world?s population expected to grow fifty percent by the year 2050 to 9.37 billion, What are the odds we can feed everybody then when we can?t even do it now? This is a question that has been studied, pondered, and written about extensively for years. Many people have different thoughts and opinions about it. Something definitely will have to be done in the future. The question is what."

From the Paper
" With the end of World War I, international efforts were begun to restore the workings of the international economy and the gold standard. But the restoration of the gold standard also meant the re-establishment of the old political order. Britain, however, lacked the economic power to fulfill the role she had played in the prewar system and the United States, her major economic rival after the defeat of Germany, was not prepared to fill the vacuum. This analysis will maintain that Britain's economic weakness and the inability of the United States to use its economic power to bolster the international economy were key sources of the structural weakness of the interwar gold standard. This general factor, combined with the financial complications of (...)"

The Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Initiative, 2008.
A review of how well the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries initiative (HIPC) is working in the developing world.

Abstract
This paper reviews the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries initiative (HIPC) and discusses whether or not the program is really working or, like so many other initiatives, is letting the developing world down. The paper concludes that, while far from perfect, the HIPC has worked exceptionally well in some nations and has given those countries at least a partial lease on their own futures.
From the Paper
"Lastly, a few brief passages need to be devoted to a review of how HIPC, far from debilitating the nation of Senegal, may actually have saved it from further government sloth and irresponsibility. For example, the IMF announced in early 2005 that Senegal was finally employing macro-economic policies that offered better prospects for the future. To wit, the regional central bank's monetary polices were finally achieving price stability and "prudent" fiscal programs put in place by the government were belatedly resulting in greater efficiency (courtesy privatization) and in appreciable GDP growth. Before drawing this section of the paper to a close, it must also be pointed out that HIPC - and particularly the closely-watching eye of international organizations such as the IMF - seem to have encouraged a new age in political stability within Senegal, the sort of political stability that has sparked foreign investors to take a renewed interest in that land (Ford, 52-53). Much-maligned though it is, HIPC is certainly a means by which wayward states can be compelled to introduce much-needed reforms that better the lives of their citizens."

Abstract
This paper discusses the life and works of one of the most important artists in the 20th century, Salvador Dali. The paper examines the influence Dali had in the art world. The paper contends that his work was highly influenced by the Surrealist and Dada movements, and his spectacular appearance, with a large waxed moustache and big eyes, helped him become even more memorable to the world. The paper explores Dali's theories on art and science that changed the way many people viewed art and artistic pursuit.
From the Paper
"Salvador Dali was born in Figueres, Spain, located in the Catalonia district, on May 11, 1904. He had a younger sister, and his father, also called Salvador, was a notary. He attended a private school operated by the Brothers of the Marist Order in his hometown, and was an average student. In 1916, on vacation, he viewed his first modern paintings, and remembered the experience, because he began to study drawing with a teacher in Figueres after he returned home. By 1918, he enjoyed two small exhibitions of his work in his hometown, and began to explore other modern painting techniques such as impressionism and pointillism. During this time, Dali also dabbled in writing. He published an article in a college magazine and wrote poetry. This indicates how multi-faceted the artist was. This would show up later in his career when he continued to experiment with many different art forms, and even tried his hand at filmmaking. He also began to publish an unconventional newspaper for his fans later in his life."
