Abstract
This paper compares the concepts of Joachim Friedrich, Herman Finer and Max Weber on the process of administering the law. The author states a country that is well administrated by quality administrators will have a deep morality instilled in these workers to understand, evaluate and properly execute the laws. It argues that the secret to 21st century administrative responsibility is a true sense of morality that is instituted alongside the very laws of the land.
From the Paper
"However, policies are meaningless without proper administration of those policies. That is why, in the eyes of Joachim Friedrich, Herman Finer and Max Weber, the process of administering the law is actually more crucial than the process of creating it: Implementation is more important than legislation. Indeed, legislation?s primary and initial focus should be to create proper administrative bodies and give them the tools to bring the goals of policy legislation to fruition."

Abstract
This paper examines administrative responsibility of state and federal government to enforce and actualize its policy decisions and laws. The author states that policies would be meaningless without proper administration of those policies. The paper compares the works of Joachim Friedrich, Herman Finer and Max Weber. It explores the complex needs of today?s economy to develop new and sophisticated policies to counter the layered government/private industry mix in today?s capitalism.
From the Paper
"Today?s complex economy begs us to develop new and sophisticated policies to counter the layered government/private industry mix exhibited by our particular brand of capitalism. Several industries are government-run while most are entirely private. But every industry faces at least some government regulation from federal and state agencies. And in addition, there are our immense legislative and executive arms of government: a country of 290 million people which also doubles as the most powerful country in the world needs the policies in the 21st century that will ensure its continued success."

Leadership in 21st Century Schools, 2008.

Abstract
This paper discusses West Virginia's framework for 21st century schools. It particularly looks at the importance of leadership skills, such as visionary leadership, relational leadership, systems leadership, reflective leadership and collaborative leadership. It suggests that applying these leadership approaches while implementing West Virginia's framework for 21st century schools is essential if today's educators are to establish classroom environments conducive to effective, goal-oriented learning.
From the Paper
"The culture of 21st Century schools should be based on setting and meeting high standards for staff and students. These high standards can be achieved through staff demonstrating professionalism in their dress, their use of language, and their demeanor, as well as the manner
in which they interact with students and other staff. This process involves defining, supporting, and implementing a collaborative school improvement process "that is data-driven and targets improved results for students," and requires effective leadership from principals, who are responsible for providing learning leadership "by orchestrating activities of the school toward students learning and developing a spirit of unity and trust." (WVDE)"

Abstract
According to recent reports, supplying enough energy on a reliable basis at prices that will not cripple the global economic growth has become a challenge with consequences that are difficult to predict. The paper shows that, although this will provide new opportunities for oil and gas companies, pipelines, generators, utilities and others in the energy business, it also carries serious risks. The paper shows that the demand for energy is growing, not only in the developed economies of Europe, Japan and North American, but in developing countries as well. In fact, the fastest demand growth is in China and other emerging markets, thus from one side of the globe to the other, societies are needing and demanding more fuel. The paper examines how the world is able to deal with increased energy demands in the 21st century.
From the Paper
"There is no avoiding the fact that the success of globalization is underscored by dramatic increases in consumption, and with increased consumption comes environmental degradation (Marber pp). Current and projected damage to the environment can impede economic progress, and climatic changes attributed to greenhouse gas emissions and pressure on natural resources have become serious problems (Marber pp). Resource scarcity is an issue the world will have to confront as two to three billion more people consume like middle class Americans over the next fifty years (Marber pp)."

From the Paper
"Furthermore, the family is the social institution that "continues to provide most care and supportive services to their older members." (Informal Caregiving) Family structures in society are estimated to account for about 80 percent of all elderly care in industrialized societies. (Informal Caregiving) This form of care can include short term care after illness or surgery as well as long term assistance when an elderly person is disabled or ill for long periods of time. The type of essential care that family members provide includes "...direct services (grocery shopping, transportation to doctors), the purchase of services (housecleaning, nursing services) and the management of services (coordinating and overseeing medical/rehabilitative care) as well as emotional and social support." (Informal Caregiving)"

Abstract
The paper discusses how the Oedipus-type of story would relate to the 21st century.
From the Paper
"The idea of the Oedipus complex has so far passed into common language that many people may use the term without knowing much about what it means, still less what its source is. Thus there is a problem in determining whether or to what extent Oedipal theory could resonate in st-century narratives. Two texts are key, "Oedipus Tyrannus" a play by Sophocles and Freud's "Interpretation of Dreams."

Abstract
This paper traces the history of human resource management leading to the modern day. It examines the difficulties and challenges which are faced in this profession as well as the conveniences which are experienced due to breakthroughs in technology.
From the paper:
"In today?s ever-changing business world Human Resource management is an integral part of a companies success or failure. Human Resources departments ?balance the demands of several different roles: business partner, internal consultant, operational and administrative expert and both employee and employer advocate.? (Brown, 1998, para 8)
"The modern ideas of HR management have their roots in early 20th century theorem and New Age innovation. The managing of people, as a resource vs. just personnel is an improvement pioneered in the latter half of the past century. Differing schools of thought exist on the best way to achieve HR enlightenment. Some value structures while others take a more free form approach. Whatever the dogma, the ultimate desired end result is a competitive advantage over the competition and staying power in a volatile business environment."

Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive understanding of the various factors that affect marketing management in the modern world. It attempts to identify issues that might be critical to the economic health of a company. It explores how factors such as slowing sales growth and shorter product life cycles have changed all the industries considered and shows how intense rivalry to launch new products first into the market exists. It also examines how the three main factors in selecting any strategy are moral significance, power and influence the organization wielded, and urgency of the situation.
From the Paper
"Customers can be identified as both industrial (corporate) and individual. Industrial buy products directly so that they may incorporate them as raw material for their own products (for example an steel manufacturing plant might purchase iron ore and coke as raw materials), finished products that can be added on (tires are purchased by car manufacturers to add on to the new vehicles), finished product to be sold in the market (a large pharmaceutical company might purchase drugs manufactures by smaller companies and sell it under their brand name) or finished products that might be used as consumables (paper and office supplies.) Government agencies also constitute a sizeable percentage of this industrial buying."

Slavery in the 21st Century, 2008.
A look at the existence of slavery in the 21st century in its traditional form of absolute subservience by a slave to a master and in an oppressive economic form characterized by virtual, if not actual, slavery.

Abstract
This paper reports that human rights groups have documented the existence of traditional slavery in Sudan, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and of coercive labor systems in several Middle East countries, which are so exploitative that they have been condemned as virtual economic slavery. The author points out that, although the Arabian Peninsula in 1964 became the world's last region to officially abolish slavery, forty years later Saudi Arabia still has more than two-hundred and fifty-thousand slaves. The paper relates that Islamic doctrine provides religious justification for slavery and enables slave traffickers to flout laws prohibiting it. The paper also asserts that, although slavery does not exists in the United States, millions of migrant workers are subjected to coercive conditions and abusive treatment that are little better than slavery.
From the Paper
"Consequently, in objective terms, a human being who is not free to leave and has no influence on the conditions or length of their economic servitude is a virtual slave. They may have civil rights, but if they are rendered powerless to defend those rights, they are enslaved in a coercive system they cannot defy. They do not have to be bought and sold to be considered a slave, for when they are rendered no effective legal protection by any civil or religious authorities, they are a slave in everything but name."

From the Paper
"Electronic commerce is a term used to describe transactions carried out through the use of computers and networks. At its most basic, it means electronic shopping, doing business online, or buying products and services through web storefronts. The terms have evolved to include all aspects of business and market processes facilitated by the use of computers, networks, the Internet and the World Wide Web. (NIACC). Advantages of electronic commerce include the ability to reach global markets, to facilitate fast transactions and settlement, achieving higher transaction volume at a lower cost due to automation, realizing time and personnel savings due to reduced ?human? handling of transactions and the ability to integrate cross-functional systems. There are already $1 trillion USD in technical infrastructure in place, available for anyone to use at any time. (Hoffman, et al). "
