Abstract
The following paper examines the role of women in the Afghan Society, focusing on the economic ravage which is affecting the women and children the worst. The writer discusses how women make the bottom of the social ladder in a patriarchal society and amid the chaos of the economy the result is that the women are the worst affected. This paper examines how many women in Afghanistan are illiterate and uneducated about the society, resulting in a situation in which they do not know what work can be found and are left struggling in a hostile world. The main focus of this paper is that despite the aid and the pledges from developed nations on women rights the Afghan economy is adversely affecting the women.
From the Paper
?Within the paradigm of this debate has arisen the question of the role of women in the Afghani Society. We have seen the pictures of women wrapped in veils of cloth and not even an eye visible in the roles of clothes. We have heard how women were brutally killed for merely showing a finger in public and we know that women played no role in the political or social fabric of the society. They were the silent majority. That has changed after the War on Terror initiated by America. We know it has changed because the media has shown us Afghani women without their 'veil'. We have heard that women have been reestablished in the work place as the Talibans have run for cover. We have heard that women have been emancipated and given the freedom they deserve as humans. Yet, what we do not know is what effect this emancipation has had on women. What sort of economic conditions the women are living under and how they are coping as a result thereof. (Skaine, 2002: 25)?

Abstract
A description on how women in Afghanistan were stripped of all their rights under the Taliban regime and in the name of Islam. This paper discusses how experts maintain that religion is never a problem, rather it is the economy of a country that leads to poor human rights situation. It gives an historical background to Afghanistan specifically how it has been torn apart with more than 23 years of warfare and its poor economic situation. Furthermore it explains how this is negatively affecting the social setup and especially the lives of the female population.
From the Paper
"To say Afghanistan is a poor country would be an understatement. Afghanistan is simply one of the poorest countries in the world with its GDP growth rate being negligible and more than 53 percent of it coming from agriculture which is still in primitive stage. It is important to mention here that Afghanistan?s dependence on agriculture is leading to extreme poverty because no sophisticated methods are being used to increase productivity and the government is not doing much to exploit land, which contains abundant mineral resources. (CIA Fact book, 2000)"

Abstract
This paper presents a statistical background of Afghanistan's economy and describes Afghanistan's prospects for economic growth in the past decade and today. The paper explains that realistic expectations for future economic growth in Afghanistan are based upon both the influx of foreign aid and the ability of the country to meet prerequisites for economic growth, which include political stability, infrastructure, health and education, good governance, and effective monetary policy.
From the Paper
"There a number of important prerequisites for economic growth in any developing country (Parliamentary Assembly Council of Europe). These include the creation of a modern infrastructure, political stability, tax incentives that attract foreign businesses, and adequate workforce education and training. In a report entitled Improving the Prospects of Developing Countries, the Committee on Economic Affairs and Development of the Parliamentary Assembly Council of Europe "emphasizes the need to ensure better governance in the developing countries themselves, accompanied by more democracy and rule of law, a greater respect for human rights, as well as regional and internal peace and stability.""

Abstract
This paper examines the status of women in contemporary Canada and Afghanistan, highlighting two societies that really cannot be compared. At the same time, this paper's topic remains illuminating because it shows how women have been given unequal roles, over time, as they have been fitted into changing economies and societies in ways preventing gender equality. This paper refers to a handful of sources that offer some less considered features of both societies with regard to the status of women.

Abstract
This paper discusses the role of the internet in the transnational mobilization of women's movements in Afghan using as a specific case study a set of seminars sponsored by US women activists and intended to support women's political activism. The main argument of this paper is that the internet is a key component in transnational organizing.
From the Paper
"The current study on social change emphasizes the importance of transnational advocacy networks and a globalizing civil society, in which borders between states become permeable to international political activism (Keck and Sikkink 1998; Della Porta, Kriesi, and Rucht 1999; Tarrow 1999). Such transnational organizing has blossomed within the women's movement, as elsewhere, and has affected the types of resources available to activists. Efforts to produce change in gender relations can now rely heavily on elite and expert social networks, in which women's organizing has become increasingly professionalized and "NGO-ized" (Alvarez 1997; Ray 1999; Silliman 1999). Local feminist activists now participate self-consciously in international forums, and construct a women's movement understood as being both local and global (Bystydzienski and Sekhon 1999)."

Abstract
The country has almost invariably been too dependent on one or two major agricultural export products, whose demand has been determined by insecure global demand and political pressures. In relative terms, poverty inequality, foreign debt, and inflation remain staggering. This paper will look at the record of Brazilian economic development in terms of these and other important indicators. Topics looked at are: 1) Brazil's Industrial-Agricultural Sector Strategy, 2) Brazil's International Trade Strategy, 3) The Public-Private Sector Strategy and then 4) A Look Towards The Future.

From the Paper
"During the late 1990s, the term, "New Economy," began appearing in articles and news reports as analysts sought to describe transactions that were largely Internet-based, or at least transactions which did not require consumers entering a brick and mortar store. Articles were written about the young entrepreneurs who were rewriting business rules, about companies where Casual Friday evolved into Casual Everyday, and how the New Economy would radically change the entire business landscape. As 2000 draws to a close, however, it is becoming obvious that the Old Economy is not going to go away entirely. Many of the touted "dot com" companies have gone bankrupt as they were unable to produce that most traditional product of the Old Economy: profit. New Economy companies are finding that they must integrate Old Economy ..."

Abstract
This paper explores the emergence of the so-called new economy - namely the IT boom and dot.com phenomenon seen in recent history. First, the paper explains what exactly defined this new economy and why it differed from the old, more stable and long-term economy. The paper then explores how this new economy effected global markets, individual business strategies and most importantly how it merged to work alongside the old economy, which continued to play a major role.
Contents:
Introduction
Definition of the New Economy
The New Economy and the World Economy
The New Economy and Business Strategy
Bringing the New Economy and the Old Economy Together
Changes Associated with E-Commerce
Outlook
Conclusion
From the Paper
"For some analysts, the term, "New Economy," refers to the plethora of "dot com" companies which have come into existence in just the past few years, created new millionaires from young entrepreneurs, and changed retailing as consumers comparison shop and browse from their homes and offices 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, the ramifications of the New Economy move far beyond just using the Internet to reach catalog customers. Wilfred Corrigan, an executive in the semiconductor industry, notes that a primary difference between the Old Economy and the New Economy is the primary commodity which powers the two."

The Global Economy, 2004.
This paper examines issues that are affecting changes in the global economy, especially employment.

Abstract
This paper explains that the changes in the world economy are affecting employment. This is similar to the changes in the 19th century when the textile industry in the U.S. shifted from the states in the Northeast to the South. The author points out that advanced countries are affected by the impact in the decrease in the availability of jobs because of an overall decrease in the rate of job formation and a global transfer of jobs to less developed countries. The paper relates that an important reason for the decrease of employment and the change in economies has been the process of privatization, the transferring of ownership rights of state-owned enterprises (SOE) to the private sector.
Table of Contents
Growth but No Employment ? A Paradox of Development
State Owned Enterprises
Unemployment Problems from the Government Directly
Impact of Technology and Its Protection
The Growth in Exports and Growth of Economy
Off-Shore Employment
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The legal position within the country also plays a role and it has been seen through measurement of the reforms that have taken place that transfer of ownership is limited in countries that follow French civil law as opposed to countries following common law. This compels only partial privatization there. The origin from French civil law provides better protection to poor minority shareholders and this may be the reason. The legal considerations have to be carefully judged in the case of new shareholders that are created in the process of privatization, as they may be expropriated by the future managers of the privatized SOE."

Abstract
The tragic events of September 11, 2001 will have many lasting effects on the United States. One sector that has been especially affected is the economy. This paper explores how, and why, this has occurred and predicts what we can expect of the economy in the future.
From the Paper
"One of its biggest effects, however, has been felt in the United States economy. The U.S. economy before September 11 was projected to grow at an annual rate of 1.7 percent in 2001. Americans were used to the private sector dominating the economy while the public sector?s role dwindled. However, post-September 11, the pendulum has swung the other way. Because the United States faces the threat of more terrorist attacks on its own soil and sustained military action abroad, the public sector has to step in and control the economy. To put this into perspective, in the 1990s, the size of the military capital stock declined, while the amount of private business capital stock rose 31%. The S&P 5000 has grown by only 16% since its 52-week low."

Abstract
The American economy has many components that contribute to its growth and affect its rate of inflation. The overriding stimuli stem from the monetary and fiscal controls imposed by the Federal Reserve and government, respectively. This paper explains how economy has enjoyed modest growth for several years and that can be expected to continue. It discusses why the Federal Reserve is raised interest rates in late 1999 in order to keep the rate of inflation down and discusses the reasons for this act.
From the Paper
"The Federal Reserve sets interest rates by mandating the rates at which Federal Reserve banks loan funds to other institutions. These rates then affect the rates of those institutions as they seek to maintain their profit. Thus an increase in rates by the Federal Reserve results in an increase in interest rates charged to customers by financial institutions throughout the nation. Investors may, in this instance, move some funds out of other investments in order to take advantage of the higher rates (such as moving out of bonds), and the stock market may see a decrease in value as investors weigh the effect of the interest rate increase on corporate borrowing."
