"Review of Workplace 2000
Introduction
Although we are all aware that the workplace is changing, and that it has probably been changing toward some end for quite some time. However, few of us can accurately say where these changes will take us in the working world. Boyett and Conn (1992), in their book WORKPLACE 2000, provide us with their vision of the eventual end of the ongoing revolution. They do not discuss the new workplace very much in terms of new technologies, but in terms of new ideas, attitudes, and work standards."
The Future of the American Workplace
In their vision of the future, they see a workplace where

Abstract
This paper provides a brief insight to the main events of the 2000 U.S. presidential elections. It analyzes how George W. Bush won the original vote in Florida and then won a recount of the same vote and how the Gore team opposed Bush?s win, trying to hold on as long as they could. They claimed that the "butterfly" ballot used in several counties, including the Democratic Palm Beach County, was unconstitutional. It compares these events to the elections of 1876 between Samuel J. Tilden and Rutherford B. Hayes, a Republican governor like Bush and how like the 2000 election, the outcome of the 1876 election depended largely upon contested votes, recounts and even legal posturing in Florida .
From the Paper
"The legal ballot used in Palm Beach County was actually designed by an elected Democrat official. Prior to the election, it was reviewed and approved by both Democrats and Republicans, publicized, and mailed to all registered voters in a sample ballot. New ballots were also provided for voters who complained of making mistakes. At the request of the Gore?s team, hand-counts of individual ballots were conducted in many Democratic counties, including Palm Beach. However, during the first hand-count in Palm Beach, the standard was changed for judging whether or not a ballot was valid."

The Automobile Industry in the Year 2000, 2002.
Examines how the United States' automobile industry fared in the unsteady economic climate of 2000.

Abstract
It has long been understood between analysts that among the major industries in the United States, none acts so nearly as a barometer for the economy in general as does the automobile industry. The paper shows that the year 2000 was no exception to this rule. Auto sales followed the bullish U.S. stock market to unprecedented heights, only to cool off as interest rates hiked up, the Dow Jones and the NASDAQ grew more volatile and gas prices skyrocketed. On September 27, Daimler-Chrysler reported that Chrysler would have a third quarter loss, the first loss since the 1991 recession in the United States.
The paper shows that the consumers, not as confident in the wake of these relatively new trends, reacted according to custom: by keeping their money in their pocketbooks and off of the car lot, creating the first slowdown in US auto sales in nearly two years. It shows however, that a slowdown in car sales does not indicate a fallout; to many, the slowdown in auto sales simply marks a shift from blistering sales to robust sales - hardly a shift worth fretting over. Ultimately, the automobile industry did well in 2000.
From the Paper
"By January of 2000, it was time to assess the year past and future. Automakers in 1999 had sold a record 16.9 million cars and light trucks, outpacing by a wide margin the previous 1986 record of 16 million. Bob Rewey, Ford Motor?s vice president for global consumer services, summed up the auto industries party-line, stating that ?A strong economy, confident consumers and innovative products were the major factors driving?sales and earnings in 1999?(Eldridge, 2000, p. 2B). The upcoming year, however, did not produce much optimism. Auto sales had slipped before the turn of the millennium, rousing some conservative hopes for 2000. Automakers, noting the meteoric success of 1999, felt that the economy might not hold up indefinitely, and seemed to believe that a correction was on the horizon; ?while automakers hope for a strong year,? wrote Earle Eldridge in USA Today, ?they don?t expect 2000 to be better than 1999?(Eldridge, 2000, p. 2B)."

Abstract
This paper offers a look at what actually took place during election 2000. Essential topics covered include the precise meaning of democracy and it's participation in the 2000 elections and major dilemmas that took place on election night. These irregularities include voting patterns, inaccurate information provided by the media and outdated voting machines.
From the Paper
"Election 2000 stirred up great contention on how democracy comes into play in our country. The question that always comes into play, is how do the people of this great nation benefit from democracy? Do those whom we elect to represent us, on behalf of our beliefs and perspectives, control us or do we have control? When searching and defining the precise meaning of democracy in the Webster Collegiate Dictionary, it reads democracy is a government in which the supreme power is held by the people. Although the Webster Collegiate Dictionary offers a general meaning of democracy, which the average American citizen can refer to, many other references dissent. The article ?Why Democracy is Wrong? states ?definitions of democracy follow a standard pattern, a sign of a stable and established ideology?(?Why democracy is Wrong? 13). Established ideology meaning various countries around the world actually observe the process in which we elect our leaders. This great government, controlled by democracy, is what the Unites States abided by during the 2000 election. A process that takes place to demonstrate how democracy reigns over all sovereignties. So they say! The outcome of the 2000 presidential election was truly inequitable and unjust. The results left many Americans feeling cantankerous and crotchety. Furthermore, the media failed to present the people with accurate poll numbers, and precise data. In addition, many minorities, mainly African American and Latinos, were disenfranchised, and their votes disregarded. Voting machines were extremely poor and obsolete. According to the article ?Lessons of the 2000 Election? Many voters were startled to learn that the technology for casting and recording votes in a number of areas of the country is twice as old as some voters thought. Antiquated technology can lead to possible voter confusion and subjective judgments by canvassing officials, who are called upon to divine the intent of the voters in the case of disputed ballots (?Lessons of the 2000 election?). So can one say that democracy was truly representing the people? How could so many errors occur at a time when the next President of the United States would soon be elected? Was democracy really present, and was supreme power held by the people? The questions asked are rather complex at the moment because many things were done surreptitiously during the 2000 election. According to the facts that were presented during and after the 2000 Presidential Election, the results did not seem equitable, leaving the election to be one big conspiracy."

2000 Presidential Election, 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains how the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the 2000 Presidential elections blurred the lines between the three branches of government and made expediency of more importance than rule of law. The paper also points out that, at the time the decision was made, the majority of the justices of the Supreme Court had been appointed by Republican presidents, either Reagan or Bush Sr. The paper also talks about the importance of precedence in Supreme Court rulings and how the decision made by the Supreme Court on the 2000 elections will have a ?trickle down? effect not only on subsequent sitting Supreme Court decisions, but on the character of decisions made generally in the courts of the United States.
From the Paper
"The dissenting opinions make it clear that the dissenters were acting on the principles set out in the Constitution, and according to the proper Constitutional structure and field of action of each branch of government. Justice Souter, agreeing with Justices Stevens, Ginsburg and Breyer, noted that the three issues before them were ?straightforward.? Among those issues were whether the Florida Supreme Court?s interpretation of the election results violated a state law; whether the Florida Supreme Court had exceeded its powers in allowing a recount, and that those powers should have resided in the state?s legislature, and; whether the variety of standards for interpreting the hard-to-read ballots constituted violation of equal protection or due process. Souter dismissed that third claim out of hand."

Abstract
This paper provides an insight into Unix and Windows 2000, both operating systems that allow distributed data processing. Distributed processing is quite different from the multiprocessor systems in that in a distributed process management system the computers have their own memory and are relatively autonomous. It examines how the Unix Operating System has Satellite processors, Newcastle Distributed System and the Transparent Distributed system models for implementing distributed processing services while Windows 2000 is managed by the Windows Registry and the Active directory tools.
From the Paper
"In Windows 2000 the Active Directory service constitutes the main core of the network objects management. It uses the Domain Name System standard for naming the domains in the hierarchical structure. The Active Directory is the central network resource management tool. This is different from Windows NT where the SAM assumed more importance. The Active Directory has all the information regarding the network objects. In windows 2000 any object like a network site or a workstation, printers, groups and any other resources that are to be shared is a network object. The Active directory database maintains all the entries pertaining to the various network objects classified into separate domains to restrict their access privileges to the respective domains. The Active directory ensures the efficient distribution of system resources while at the same time it provides the necessary security against unauthorized access of network resources."

Abstract
Historically, presidential campaigns have provided a forum for discussing change and expressing uniquely American ideals and ideas. In the past, heated campaigns have generated great excitement. Although the 2000 presidential race has been described as close with an unpredictable outcome, for lack of clear-cut ideals the campaign has stirred little passion among voters. This paper traces the history of presidential campaigning and examines what makes this one unique.

Abstract
The following paper draws into question the results of the vote in Florida in the 2000 presidential election. The data set is drawn from the Florida Department of State. The purpose of this paper is not to address a value judgement, rather it is an attempt to investigate whether the differentials in the recount are statistically significant, indicating the presence of some sort of irregularity.
From the Paper
"19th century elections were characterized by accusations of dirty politics and election fraud. Increasingly in the 20th century, counting procedures became more accurate, communication improved and, seemingly, election results should be reported expeditiously and without question of accuracy. However, several weeks after our nation?s most critical election, a gamut of irregularities, particularly in Florida, whose electoral votes will determine the outcome of the election, has delayed the recognition of a winner. With George W. Bush?s lead vacillating well under one thousand votes, an adjustment of a decidedly small proportion of the votes could change the outcome of the election. This paper discusses two of the irregularities that render Bush?s seeming victory in the state uncertain."

Abstract
This paper reviews "Workforce 2000", a report prepared by the Hudson Institute under a United States Department of Labor contract. The purpose of the report is to project the character of the American industrial environment in the early-years of the 21st century, and to assess the probably skills requirements and supply that will characterize that environment. The paper uses examples of real companies such as Microsoft.
From the Paper
"One of the more significant of the projections presented in Workforce 2020 is that by 2010 employers will be required to turn to older workers to fill their human resource requirements. In 1980, as an example, new entrants comprised 18 percent of the nation?s workforce. By 1997, however, new entrants accounted for only seven-percent of the workforce. Compounding the effects of this trend is the aging of the baby-boomer generation. By 2010, baby-boomers will begin reaching the present retirement age of 65, and the number of new entrants into the workforce will be insufficient to replace the baby-boomers should they retire (McIntosh, 2000). As a consequence of the intersection of these two trends that is projected to occur in 2010, employers will be forced to attempt to recruit older workers to fill their human resource requirements."
