Abstract
This paper explains that the years from 1945 to 1970 witnessed the transformation of the world order, which had been characterized by the emergence of the nation-states of the 19th century and their imperialistic colonization of countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. The author points out that, after WWII, with the power of England, France and Germany destroyed, the U.S. was the only major power unscathed in its territory. The paper relates that, when the Soviet Union tested its first atomic bomb and imposed its constricting net over Eastern Europe, the two super powers aggressively opposed each other on either side of the Cold War. The author concludes that the state of the world in 1970 found a radically altered American society where, for the first time in its history, its Vietnam War policy was politicized and polarized.
From the Paper
"It is possible and perhaps necessary to view this strategic impasse less as a function of monolithic state policy than as actions motivated and implemented by government sectors, interest groups, or ministries. The arms race, with its high stakes in profits, needed a protagonist and an adversary; certain elements within the burgeoning military-industrial context also benefited quite well from the ostensibly anti-U.S. policy of Charles de Gaulle who "suspended military assistance to Israel" leaving the U.S. to become Israel's main arms supplier."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The state of the world in 1970 is a world far removed from the promise of the future set out less than a generation before by the victorious Allies after World War II. America, the globe's preeminent superpower, is wracked by civil rights conflicts and youth protests at home while an apparently intractable war proceeds in Vietnam. In the Middle East, the overwhelming victory of the Israelis over Arab nations in the 1967 war has yielded to division in the Arab world and the rise of the Palestinian liberation movement. In Europe various nations struggle with how to integrate themselves economically and politically, while centers of the great European empires of Britain and France suffer from a decline in their stature."

Outline:
Introduction
International Order from a Historical Perspective
The Current System of International Order
The Role of an Imperial Threat
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Overall this aspect the research seems to indicate that in the eyes of many America has already formed an imperial structure or way of being as it relates to foreign policy and the international community. Whether this kind of informal imperialism was intentional is unclear. However, it seems more likes that America's dominance in the world is a result of the positions that the United States took following the world war. During much of this time America worked multilaterally with other nations to bring about peace and stability in the world. America was able to influence countries because it had both economic and political strength that was unparallel. Although there were conflicts after the Cold War that involved American troops, America seemed more apt to solve problems using diplomatic means. However, after the attacks of 9/11 the approach to global conflict changed and the nation believed that it had to act unilaterally to ensure the security of its citizens. Because this unilateral approach as it relates specifically to the invasion of Iraq-- has lessened the sovereignty of nation states, America is viewed as a nation that desires imperial rule. "

From the Paper
"The 1950s to the 1980s were an age of materialism. The 1980s began a new order of social thinking. People began to be more concerned about the quality of life and the quality of their home lives. The term ?quality time? became a buzzword. The invention of the Internet had its beginning in 1982 [PBS.org, 1997]. Slowly over the next 10 years it grew in popularity. Today, the Internet is an integral part of our society. It is this shift in thinking that is responsible for the success that mail order and e-commerce have had in the recent decade.
"According to statistics from the Direct Marketing Association released June 4, 2001, catalog sales continue to increase at a rate more than twice that of overall retail growth. Catalog sales for 2001 were expected to reach 120 billion US dollars. That is an 8.9 percent increase over 2000 sales. By comparison, overall retail sales were only expected to grow 3.1 percent [DMA, 2001]."

Birth Order and Social Behavior
Effects of Birth Order on Criminal Behavior
A Critique of Birth Order Theory
Other Predictors of Criminal Behavior
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Sulloway maintains that the effects of birth order do not stem merely from biology. Rather, he ascribes this to children?s innate tendency to develop attitudes and personalities that are best suited for maximizing the resources that they get from their parents. Since siblings must compete for their parents? attentions, they carve out their own ?family niches? relative to their brothers and sisters, a niche that is often defined by birth order (Sulloway 1996: 48). Meri Wallace, a child development expert, locates the social construction of birth order roles on the part of the parents. According to Wallace, many of the characteristics resulting from a child?s birth order and family position actually stem from their early relationship with their parents."

"Social scientists advocating family dynamics as reasons for an individual?s drive to achieve and exercise power in a society propose that ordinal position must be examined within the family structure in order to determine how birth order influences socialization which, in turn, affects personality and behavior and exercise of power."

Abstract
This paper discusses if revolution can contribute, in any way, to the international order. The author explains the important distinctions between the different types of revolutions and on what international order is based. After assessing to what extent revolution can contribute to the international order the author concludes that history does seems to show that revolutions, in the short term, always disrupt international order, and in the longer term, may contribute to international order in certain manners.
From the Paper
"Revolution, from the Latin revolutia, i.e. turn around, is a normative process that has, throughout the last centuries, been at the centre of the reflexion about world politics. It has shaped new countries, brought others to perish and, most importantly, showed the crucial role of human agency in international relations. "It is a natural manure" as Thomas Jefferson wrote . History and reality have shown that, in its various forms, revolution has not only had an impact on the international system but has been a major factor in its formation , especially since the French and American revolutions, respectively in 1789 and 1776. There is less consensus however on its consequences on international order - the order in relations among states-, if any.
"Effectively, it seems at first contradictory that a revolution, as the overthrow of a settled order , can contribute, in any manner, to the international one. Nevertheless, the reductionism of this approach tends to put aside important elements that must be considered."

Birth Order and Personality, 2007.
This paper explores the idea of personality development being affected by the order of a child's birth.
1,254 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper researches the theory of birth order and personality development and shows how the theory of birth order can only be positively identified with poor families because of financial insecurities that occur with a greater number of children. The paper relates that one specific element cannot alone create the personality of a child; environment, birth order, society, the family ideals and economic factors all affect a person. The paper concludes that, while the concept of birth order in regard to personality development can be applied to some children, it is not a universal standard that explains the complete personality of all people.
From the Paper
"The idea of personality development being affected by the order that a child is born into the family has been debated for decades. Some researchers suggest that when there is more than one child in the home the children will take on certain personality characteristics simply because of when they were born in relation to other children. Yet, other researchers suggest that the concept of birth order and personality development cannot be proven, or is only evident in poor families. Furthermore, within the debate is the insistence that what many researchers focus upon as birth order affecting children's personalities is actually environmental factors that have not been considered. Because the debate surrounding this issue is so vast, it is apparent that no one common factor can measure the personality development of a child because each child is subjected to his or her own world, which is filled with elements impacting personality."

Do We Discount the Theory?
Practical Application of Theory
Research Questions, Design, and Methodology
From the Paper
"The affects of birth order are well documented and there is s a wealth of academic information available on many areas of the topic. Alfred Adler extensively categorized the characteristics of each birth order. Adler's theory represents the most comprehensive classification of the affects of birth order on the personality and development of children. Adler felt that there were other characteristics that could affect a child's reactions, such as their opinion of themselves, but that this did not diminish the role of birth order in personality development. (Adler, 1928)."

Abstract
This work reviews historical and recent literature related to 'free word order' languages, or those, which use 'scrambling' in sentence structure. These terms relate specifically to the placement of nouns and verbs within a sentence. The social theory of language acquisition is reviewed as well as cultural influences on language acquisition specifically related to 'free word order' language structure. Word order in various languages is examined and recent studies are reviewed.
Outline:
Objective
Introduction
Socio-Cultural Formation of Speech and Language
Previous Study in Language Acquisition
Differentiation between 'verb salient' and 'noun salient' Languages
Word Order in the Various Languages
Non-Configurationality in Languages
Computer-generated Processing of Languages
Summary
Bibliography
From the Paper
" 'Free word order' languages are those in which the structure of a sentence is constructed loosely in relation to the placement of nouns and verbs. The writer notes in the research process that there are many and various explanations and theories surrounding the structure or lack of structure in the free word order languages. Grammatical encoding has never been quite as relevant as in the present as computer-generated language translation is in use frequently in the lives of many. Communication barriers presented are evident in the confused communications and specifically between languages such as the English language with its formally structured sentence use of nouns and verbs and the languages of Korean and Japanese both 'free word order' languages..

Abstract
This paper discusses the point of view of different schools and presents different case studies of social order maintenance. It describes recent developments in many fields and focuses on terrorism and white collar crimes. It also examines how military power can be used to maintain social order. The issues of censorship during Vietnam and other wars is discussed, as well as media representation and its effect on social order.
From the Paper
"In a model society each individual would strive selflessly for the common good. In reality, various tactics need be employed on behalf of those granted power and by the majority in order to maintain such social order, against deviants that threaten to undermine it. How social order is possible and how it is maintained has been one of the most fundamental questions of sociology since its beginning (Dittrich et al., 2003). The same, however, cannot be said for the study of crime since crime and criminology have not always raised concerns for the maintenance of social order, but rather looked at what individual aspects make some people deviant from the norms set by society."
