"Radical environmentalism is a term that calls up images of subversive maneuvers performed by those with extremist views who give no quarter to the governments and corporations that persist in polluting the earth and squandering its resources. But much of the force of the word "radical" (or even "environmentalism") is a function of the individual's perspective. Radical environmentalism has two strands that occasionally interact and are, in general terms, "those who favor the preservation of nature for nature's sake and those who wish only to maintain the environment as the necessary habitat of humankind" (Lewis 17). The first are the so-called "deep ecology" movement, or movements, whose adherents stress the principles of "biospherical egalitarianism" in a platform described by Devall and Sessions as based on the proposition that "the well-being and flourishing of..."

Abstract
The paper explains that individuals and groups use civil disobedience to protest a wide range of issues raging from environmental pollution to political or social corruption. The paper looks at the activities of the Toronto faction of the Radical Cheerleaders during the anti-FTAA (Free Trade of the Americas Act) protests in Quebec City. The paper shows how the radical cheerleaders displayed a combination of reactionary and revolutionary characteristics.

From the Paper
"People all have interests and opinions. Groups of people and individuals tend to show a wide range of interests and opinions. In society some of these people's interests and opinions will receive a great deal of attention while others will be ignored or suppressed. People that do not have their interests meet or their opinions heard usually have to rely on alternative methods to make their voices heard. One of the more common ways is civil disobedience. Civil disobedience is defined as, "refusal to obey governmental commands especially as a nonviolent means of protest"(Anonymous 96)."

Abstract
This paper examines the women's movement which is divided on the problems of existing inequalities among women particularly those of social class, ethnicity and skin color. This paper discusses why radical feminists believe that the elements of women's culture are preferable to their male analogs in a dominant culture. This writer of this paper also probes how feminist and post structuralist theories have distanced themselves from the category of nature.

From the Paper
"American women writers from the early nineteenth century to the present have rearticulated gendered ideologies of nature. A cultural studies approach enables me to reveal how women's texts transform the representations promoted by literary, popular, and political discourses. By analyzing environmental and feminist history I demonstrate how a diverse array of fiction transfigures the ideologies of nature for feminist, and sometimes environmentalist ends."

Abstract
This paper evaluates a capitalistic market (the U.S.), a socialist/capitalistic market (Canada), and a developing market (Brazil), which can be broadly classified based on political, social, and cultural issues, to conceptually and practically understand the markets and the competition. The author points out that the generic pharmaceutical industry is flourishing in Canada; it accounts for approximately 15% of the sales of drugs in the country. The paper relates that, in Brazil, the major pharmaceutical industries are leveraging strongly on the government to change its laws and regulations in order to support better sales and distribution of the drug.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Social science, economic, corporate and business strategy, public and government policies all are considered to play a significant role in the success or failure of an organization at any location around the world. In the modern marketplace, no fixed or definitive strategy can be assumed to be most effective. What may be appropriate for one company in the same industry may not exactly work for another company. Contemporary management theories place great emphasis on these variables; consequently, marketing strategies also use many of these theories to understand and evaluate the market for the product and services of the organization."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the book "The Monkey Wrench Gang" by Edward Abbey. Specifically, it discuss the environmental theme of the book and the ways that this theme is presented. The paper describes Abbey's approach in the book as a radical type of environmental protest that should be required reading in every college environmental classroom.

From the Paper
"If there is anything to dislike about this book, it may be the outrageousness of the characters. They are immensely funny, but they are all certainly perverse, and that seems to make a mockery of what they are doing. They are quite serious about it, but Abbey seems to be writing about all of them tongue in cheek, and that seems to take away from their mission and their enthusiasm. It also makes environmentalists look like weirdoes or "tree-huggers," which is probably what the author was attempting to convey, and yet, it takes away from the message of the book in my opinion. I understand why Abbey had to create diverse characters - their actions were bizarre and so they had to be, too. However, it was just a bit over the top for me, and ludicrous besides."

Abstract
This paper examines the extent to which German political parties and especially the Greens have, since reunification and increasingly so during the past five years, become increasingly less radical and increasingly more institutionalized. This paper also asks to what extent this process of institutionalization of the party has been more or less effective as an advocate for sound environmental policy on both local and national levels.

From the Paper
"For Americans, the image of the Green Party is one that is at least a little on the fringe: Conservatives tend to think of the Greens as being a group of tree-hugging alfalfa-sprout munching brainless do-gooders while liberals are most likely to remember the Green Party candidacy of Ralph Nader in 2000 that many believe cost the Democratic Party the White House. But in Germany's parliamentary system, the Green Party has found a more welcome home. It has been able to forward environmental causes for a number of years. However, as this paper explores, its ability to serve as the voice of progressive causes has been blunted to some extent since reunification as the party has shifted rightwards."

Abstract
This paper explores the last repercussions of the Little Ice Age on North America. Although this geological event took place many millennia ago, its impact is still felt by the amount of water available in certain regions and the quality of soil for agricultural use. The author contents that radical environmental changes have major repercussions for humans.

Abstract
This study attempts to prove that global warming is, in fact, not occurring and show why we, as a society, have been suckered into believing the global myth as the global fact. Whether the information came from "trusted media" sources, politicians, or even supposed credible scientists is just what the writer demonstrates to the extent that global warming is a prefabricated hoax. This is accomplished by exploring what is global warming, the ways that we have been deceived into believing that global warming is actually occurring, and the inconclusive evidence that is presented to us, which we so blindly accept as science fact.

From the Paper
"Earth is a planet bustling with life; it is also a complex system that is constantly changing. With changes in a system, the obvious result is a change within factors that make up that system. When bringing this paradigm into the realm of practical application for Earth ass a system, one must take into consideration the ranging factors that make up the system of Earth. There are human beings that use natural resources and the result is a bi-product of wasteful materials that may take some time for the earth to reprocess, which if it is even possible, i.e. nuclear waste can never be reprocessed, there are also natural phenomenon that take place such as climate change: ice ages, weather patterns, and natural heating cycles. just by taking these few factors out of the infinitely many bring into scope how difficult it is for humans of the 21st century to deal with the monumental problems that lay ahead for future generations. One of these problems is that of global warming. The main problem that has to be focused upon is the fact that it is a hoax!"

Abstract
Under Plato's system of the rule of the philosopher-sage, the popular will and all knowledge disseminated by the media would be controlled by oligarchs, namely a tribe of philosopher kings or sages. This paper examines Frank Fischer's and Brian Martin's recent analysis of the failures of the American political system, in which they do not offer as radical a solution as the ancient Greek. However, Frank Fischer's analysis does implicitly propose that there is a fundamental lacking within the texture of American government, and American political culture as a whole, in terms of citizen involvement within American political society and decision making. The paper examines Fischer's suggestion that the solution to this absence of involvement is not a more responsive governmental structure, but the institutionalization of the "sage" within the American political frame of discourse, that of an individual who is distanced from the issues to some extent and can offer commentary and intellectual and intelligent perspectives upon issues of the moment and also put the perspective of politics within a forward-thinking view. In contrast, the paper looks at how Martin stresses that, rather than look to experts for knowledge, one must become one's own 'sage'; profound challenges to government and conventional wisdom have been proposed by many relatively ordinary individuals all over the world, from the author's native Australia to India.

From the Paper
"So why do not more individuals take a more involved role in the political process regarding environmentalism, asks Fischer? Yet the American citizen stands back, while interested economic and political parties continue to wreck economic destruction upon the land. Contemporary experts may understand the environmental issues at stake, but they have profound personal and economic interests that cannot be ignored when evaluating their opinions. Furthermore, citizens can only glean the full impact of environmental, and other scientific issues (such as issues pertaining to health, health insurance, and Medicare, to name just a few) from such experts, as most citizens are laypeople regarding such issues."

Abstract
This paper explains that the interests and vantage points of governments and corporations tend to differ on questions of foreign takeovers and investments. The paper then points out that Canada's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements enables involvement in a globalized economy under new international rules. The author underscores the importance of public interest groups given the neo-liberal economic shifts of the government, including the radical departure of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) agreement. The paper argues that restrictions must be demanded that will regain Canadian economic sovereignty by better regulating foreign investment.

From the Paper
"Critics of international trade agreements sometimes refer to their influence in weakening understandings of sovereignty. An example of this is found in differing conceptions of Canadian Arctic sovereignty, the Americans interested in future navigation through the Northwest Passage enabled by global warming, claiming that the Passage is an international strait, the Stephen Harper government reiterating that it is indisputably Canadian and that proposed sea traffic is an infringement and a pronounced environmental risk."
