Abstract
This paper explains that, in addition to making a profit, The Body Shop International gears its cosmetics business activities towards supporting community trade, defending human rights, activating self-esteem, trying to protect the planet, fighting against animal testing and supporting its own charity called The Body Shop Foundation.

From the Paper
"Introduction
The Body Shop is an English-based cosmetics and skin care company which markets its products throughout the world. Its success and marketing focus centers on its commitment to using products that are not tested on animals, and it is an organization which encourages political activism among its consumers. Although the company markets beauty products, it emphasizes a "natural" approach to cosmetics which does not play on the glamour appeal traditionally associated with this industry. Despite this apparent contradiction (a beauty products company that does not emphasize beauty), the Body Shop has had considerable success during its history and has garnered additional publicity because of its stance regarding animal testing. This research considers the company's marketing approach and notes where .."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Until recent years, American women did not consider bath supplies (such as lotions, soaps and related products) important enough for retailers to open shops devoted exclusively to these items. Department stores sold upscale makeup products, and bath items were generally sold as adjuncts to these types of products. Perfumes, bath lotions (and powders) and makeup were often placed together in department store layouts. Women (and nearly all of the customers for these types of products are women) could also purchase some items at discount stores and mass retailers, but these outlets typically did not carry an extensive line. That changed when the Body Shop, an English company, opened a store in the United States selling not only bath products, but products which focused on health and beauty and which created an entire image about the brand and.."

Abstract
This is a detailed paper about eating disorders and anorexia. The paper describes the symptoms, the segment of the population most affected by eating disorders, the physical problems prolonged eating disorders can cause and some the environmental, physiological and psychological conditions that might predispose some to developing an eating disorder. The paper also explains that there are far more women with eating disorders than men and points out that this is an important factor in determining the causes of eating disorders. Additionally, the paper discusses treatment methods and prevention programs.
From the Paper
"Eating disorders and anorexia are becoming more commonplace today, and this is true particularly of young women, although older people and men sometimes also suffer from them. It is important to look at this issue as it relates to body image and how one feels about one's body, but also important to see it in the light of the way that one trusts oneself and others, and the hope for the future that is sometimes absent from the lives of these individuals. Such problems as depression can often play a large role in whether someone has problems with body image and eating disorders."

The Global South and the Global North, 2007.
An analysis of the impact of globalization on the inequality between the global north and the global south.
1,402 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 8 sources, MLA, £ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at globalization and discusses how it has exacerbated the pre-existing inequalities between the poor global south and the wealthy global north. It illustrates how globalization forces some people (predominantly in the southern regions of the planet) to work while permitting other people (predominantly individuals residing in the global north) to become wealthy.
From the Paper
"To start with, it is commonly known that powerful multinational corporations in the global north habitually take their manufacturing operations from Europe and/or America and deposit those aforementioned manufacturing operations in global south countries where they can avoid the onerous regulatory regimes, high corporate taxes, and high wage costs they associate with the north. At the same time, the movement of jobs and plants to the south has the unhappy effect of not only costing workers jobs in the north but also of reducing the south to the subordinate position of being "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for multinationals that are looking for cheap human resources that can be utilized in a working environment that is more permissive than the highly-regulated work environments of America and/or Europe. A good example of this phenomenon can be found in the IT sector where skilled U.S. workers are losing jobs to individuals overseas (Sosbe, 4) - presumably because the "cost of doing business" vis-a-vis wage expenses is lower in global south nations which do not have a strong tradition of labor activism or of government involvement in employee-employer relations."

Abstract
This paper discusses globalization and global labour patterns. The paper argues that in a globalized world corporations are determining the labour conditions in both developed and developing countries. It suggests that the corporations are essentially making cheap, unskilled and flexible labourers.
From the Paper
"Globalization and Global Labour Patterns Globalization is one of the most controversial issues in politics and economics. In "Note on Terminalogy" David McNally defines globalization as, "The mainstream term for the new world Economy of the past twenty years" (McNally 9). How exactly has the world economy changed? While discussing the political and economic changes that have occurred over the last three decades Teeple explains, A system of highly integrated world trade was an irreversible fact by the end of the 1970s, confirmed and hastened by the new means of transportation and communications, whose increased productivity were transforming the worldwide distribution of products and hence the global conditions for valorization (Teeple 71)."

Processes of Globalization and Shared Global Culture, 2005.
A discussion on whether the processes of globalization are producing a shared global culture.
2,028 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 4 sources, APA, £ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper states that it is not complicated to find some globalized places such as airline terminals, international hotels or CNN business news revealing the effects of globalization and its repercussions on our understanding of culture in the modern world. The paper relates that through the growing of global interconnections and the processes of ideas and global goods crossing national borders, cultures fuse across the globe. The paper also discusses the presence of English as an international language, and a homogenization of culture. The paper confirms that, culture is a set of values and practices characterized by its particularity, which nevertheless needs universal criteria as a reference to justify this particularity. It is also crucial to define culture as an "encompassing" concept and to keep in mind that it is difficult to know what is cultural.
From the Paper
"In addition, a shared global culture is also relevant as a global dissemination of an American or Western culture. Indeed the processes of globalization are providing fuel for a cultural imperialism, that is to say a global culture liable to be a hegemonic culture. Thus the assertion of a shared global culture seems to be linked to what Friedman describes as "the increasing hegemony of particular central cultures, the diffusion of American values, consumers goods and lifestyles" (Friedman, 1994: 195). The diffusion of dominant standard icons and references such as MacDonald's, Coca-Cola leads to think about an obvious Americanization. In a word, cultures are both confronted by a global dominance of the western culture and by the practices of global capitalism. The result is probably a decrease of cultural differences: a process which undeniably worked to the advantage of the USA and others Western nations. A striking example of this tendency of cultural imperialism is the United Nations Educations Scientific and Cultural Organization's call for a "new world information and communication order" and its politics on global culture."
