Abstract
One of the more profound obstacles facing Egypt in its path towards development is its overpopulation problem. This is something that the majority of Egyptians and those who have read or researched the development problems facing the country know. However, few of us really appreciate the true significance and dimensions of the population problem. Through an in-depth analysis of the problem and a discussion of its effects on economic growth, this paper argues the importance of adopting aggressive population control and family planning strategies in consideration of the fact that the country, with its available resources, cannot sustain the current population growth figures.

From the Paper
"Economic development scholars and third world analysts have effectively argued, through the use of economic data and statistics that high rates of population growth are economically unsustainable. The problem lies in a very simple calculation. The resources of a country, whether the land area and the infrastructural services, such as water and electricity, not even to mention nutrition and health care requirements, are established at a certain level and raising that level, as in expanding services and raising food production, are long term. In other words, not only are resources in Third World countries limited and barely able to keep up with a stable population figure but they can only be increased and expanded at a gradual rate. Consequently, when population figures expand and grow beyond the ability of the resources themselves to expand, the end result is increased poverty and larger numbers of people demanding access to welfare service, from healthcare to education to subsidized basic goods. The point here is that accelerated population growth cannot be match with accelerated expansion of services and food production, eventually leading, on the individual levels, to greater poverty and unemployment and on the national level, to a reduced capacity to attain economic development and growth. It is thus that "population growth is a major impediment to sustainable development," and high rates of population growth are an obstacles to development in general."

Abstract
Overpopulation has been a highly contested topic for centuries. Varied opinions are voiced such as, when there is overpopulation, natural resources are depleted as a result of the need to sustain the rapid growth. Still others opine that it is not as much as overpopulation but population density relative to the availability of resources. The writer discusses that it is not much really a question of overpopulation but rather population density vs. available resources and population vs. consumption of resources. The United States government, as the remaining superpower, should lead the fight against the negative effects of overpopulation. The writer concludes that the U.S. should curtail its super consumer culture and temper exploitation of natural resources by providing means of replenishing what was taken from nature.
From the Paper
"Whatever arguments there are on overpopulation, humans should be cognizant of the fact that population density should not be always the primary blamed factor but rather the actions done relative to population growth. Humans cannot simply lord over any and all resources without thinking that these are finite entities that need processes or plans to replenish. Emerging countries industrialization is not paying attention to environmental issues because of the feeding demands of their ever-growing populations. Misuse or depletion of the Earth's treasures to meet those needs, for example unsustainable logging, poor farming practices, and overfishing, threatens human life and health around the world. If these trends continue, humans might find each other fighting over basic resources such as food and water - and probably continue blaming overpopulation instead of the manner by which resources have been abused."

Third World Economic Development, 2005.
This paper discusses that technology, especially the internet, has not adequately reached the poor in the less developed third-world nations, thus limiting their economies.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in a time when computers and the internet could easily elevate the poor nations of the world, these developing nations are not getting their fair share of the twenty-first century's technological boom; yet globalization and the many technological breakthroughs in social, business and economic realms should benefit everyone on the planet. The author points out that the internet requires a phone connection, a computer and modem and electricity; the third-world does not have these basic necessities for the bulk of its citizens. The paper concludes that, unfortunately, there are no immediate solutions that would reduce the technology division between first and third-world nations; unless there is a complete reengineering of the social segregation of the haves and have not's.
From the Paper
"It would then seem obvious that putting computers in Third World or less developed nation's schools would also enhance the quality of life for the poor. Consider Africa; the Internet would enhance the community's schools, healthcare facilities, governmental operations and rural farms. In other words, it would raise the potential of all these levels of people. Of course, a large number of third world countries are connected to the Internet, but the majority of those connections are accessed via satellites which capture Internet transmissions and systematically relay them back to the United States for processing. These connections are also not usually made by the average Third World citizen."

Abstract
This paper reviews four articles on different aspects of economics and then relates the whole of each article to the field of economics. The four articles discussed the are Capitalism in Western Europe, Asian Economies, Socialist Economies, and the Economics of Transition, each article being from a different economics journal and is written by a different author.
From the Paper
"Rose (1999) describes employment policy in Western Europe and the United States and relates this to other aspects of the capitalist system. Rose notes that policies for reducing unemployment have been part of government programs since the end of World War II. The U.S. has pursued full employment only from time to time, while the countries of Western Europe have followed elaborate plans to achieve this goal. These polices have included a wide range of programs, such as fiscal and monetary stimuli, direct payments to the unemployed, job placement services, and policies to reduce the size of the labor force."

Abstract
This paper attempts to estimate what the real total economic cost of the Vietnam War was to the United States. The paper concludes that a reasonable estimate of the economic impact of the Vietnam War on the American economy is that an entire year's worth of productive activity was used to fight the war.
From the Paper
"The Vietnam War was the defining experience for a generation of Americans. Indeed, it is arguably one of the defining experiences of America as a whole in the Twentieth Century. Its impact on the men who fought there, the men (and women) who did not, the American military in general, American society and popular culture during and following the war has been well documented. However, it was not just a life changing experience for soldiers and protestors, or a force for social change, or even an inspiration for thousands of books and dozens of movies. War is not least an economic event. In addition to being a military defeat, a political blunder and a human tragedy, the Vietnam War was also an economic disaster."

Japanese Post-World War II Economic Development, 2002.
A look at the cultural advantages of Japan's post-war economic miracle.

Abstract
This paper argues that some elements of pre-World War II Japanese culture proved to be advantages to the processes of economic reconstruction as they took hold in the first decades after 1945. If the Japanese recovery is looked at in terms of class and economy only, the Japanese defeat in World War II signaled a complete break from the imperial ethos, which had dominated national culture and contributed to practically every aspect of Japanese cultural and economic life. When Japanese post-war economic development is explored in ways which include cultural advantages, however, the so-called "miracle" of reconstruction begins to seem somewhat more predictable.

From Old World China to the New World America, 2004.

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."

" Thailand's Economic Crisis and the
"Triangle of Impossibility" Economic Model
Introduction
The "Triangle of Impossibility" economic model theorizes that it is dangerous, if not impossible for a small economy to maintain three desirable (politically) yet contradictory national goals. When it does, the end result is a macroeconomic crisis like the one currently going on in Thailand today (Na Thalang, 1997, 14). The three paths that Thailand is pursuing, suggests Na Thalang, are a fixed foreign exchange regime, free capital movement, and an independent monetary policy. After a brief economic snapshot of Thailand, these three divergent paths will be explored to determine if: A) the theory is valid, and B) if it.."

Abstract
This paper will discuss the way that American and Canadian economic styles play into the development of their countries, and the countries they are associated with. In Canada there is much to say about the situation that NAFTA brings to this country, and this type of trading style, which has been helping the economy of this country. In American economic development, and since it is the leading world power, there are many countries that play into an imperial sort of economic style in this manner.
