Concluding Remarks
From the Paper
"The present phase of relatively fast growth in the developing countries is driven principally by strong global demand, especially, originating mainly in the US. This is further fuelled by the Chinese economic growth. During 1980s and 1990s, most developing countries embraced the market-oriented reforms agenda with the expectation that with this approach they will be able to integrate better with the other economies of the globe. The agenda included liberalization and deregulation at the national level and opening up through competition at the global level. Different countries advanced in this direction to different extents. However, after the East Asian Crisis of late 1990s, the approach of the affected countries changed and they started accumulating foreign currency, mostly dollars as a measure of insurance against any future probable risks and looking to the rise in the oil prices in the international markets. This is also a result of currency manipulative monetary policies of some of the countries like China. Many of the countries developed current surpluses which used to be mostly in red. However, the main sources of the inflow were the increasing trade surplus and FDI."

"The recession has impacted almost everyone in our surrounding community, whether they were impacted directly or indirectly. It has impacted local small businesses, large industries and companies, as well as individuals and families. All people in the economy are impacted by a recession. However, from the current information that I have obtained, it looks as if the economy is on the rise and will soon be back to normal. Recession is a serious issue, but hopefully our current let down in economy has been a learning experience and next time we will be better prepared and can prevent an equal disaster."

Abstract
This paper addresses the question of whether the present recession in the U.S. will be aggravated by the Sept. 11th attacks. The paper looks at how the collapse of the "Internet Economy' in early 2001 which lead to decreased spending and consumer confidence even before 9/11, is causing the Federal Government to work double time to ensure that the US economy is spared an even greater blow than it has already experienced. The paper then examines some of the options available to the government in its efforts to best ensure a return to prosperity.
From the paper:
"One of the most obvious victims of the terror attacks has been consumer confidence ? which was already shaky in the light of the economic slowdown in the months before September ? a slowdown this week confirmed as the economy was declared in a recession back to March...
The Fed?s generally positive assessment of the U.S.?s $10-trillion economy last year has shifted, in part due to the terrorist attacks and in part due to the softening economy, which itself must be seen as in part caused by the massive Bush tax rebates that have caused the federal surplus to vanish like mist in the sunlight. Last year at most of its meetings last year it maintained the Discount Rate, this year even as the economy began to slow down, a fact that for the Fed was mitigated by its warnings about the inflationary posed by the nation's tight labor market (the jobless rate continues near its lowest level in a generation) and a sharp rise in energy prices.
The absence of such key economic indicators showing a slowed rate of growth last year prompted the Fed to maintain or raise its Discount rate, just as the presence of a number of economic indicators (such as high unemployment, falling sales of new homes or other indications of disinclination toward consumer spending and a general decline in leading economic indicators that predict how the economy will likely fare in three to six months? time) have this year prompted the Fed to lower its Discount rate. As the high-tech sector continues to disintegrate, consumer confidence continues to fall and the recession has been made official, observers now wonder exactly how low the Fed can go."

Was the Cold War Inevitable?, 2004.

Abstract
This paper argues that the Cold War was the inevitable consequence of the global shift in power. It outlines the change in the balance of world powers during the Second World War. Then it explains how the American plan for free market trade was irreconcilable with Soviet plans for continued Communism and a buffer zone of Communist states. The paper discusses American idealistic universalism and the closed, suspicious nature of the Soviet government and the Soviet revival of communism. It then outlines the history of tension between Russia and America and shows that the only reason open war did not break out was fear of nuclear weapons.
From the Paper
"Stalin heightened tensions with the west at the end of the war by promoting a siege mentality in the Soviet Union. "This feeling of fear and insecurity lived and flourished and came to underlie almost all Soviet thought about the outside world." Russian statesmen were insular, apparently without personal contacts or interests in the Western world and concerned with international life only as it relates to Russian security. At the end of the war, Stalin told Churchill he is hoped for the "successful and happy development in the post-war period of the friendly relations which have grown up between our countries in the period of the war." But Stalin had revived communism after the war, which was ideologically anti-western and which was offensive to people in the United States. To Americans, "The institution of private property ranks with those of religion and the family as a bulwark of civilization...To tamper with private enterprise...will precipitate a disintegration of life and liberty as we conceive and treasure them." Therefore, in addition to conflicting economic interests and American ideology, the Russian siege mentality and revival of communism made the Cold War inevitable."

Abstract
This research considers the impact of a future global recession on Asia, with a particular emphasis on Japan, Thailand, China and Indonesia. While specific impacts (including those on income, savings and unemployment, among others) are considered separately in the following analysis, the writer explains that these effects would occur simultaneously as various parts of the economy are affected.
From the Paper
"In the early part of the twentieth century, it was thought that individual economies were insulated from downturns in economies located elsewhere in the world. However, the Great Depression of the 1930s demonstrated that even at a time when globalization was considerably less prevalent than today, there were global ramifications to downturns in economies. Today, economies are more closely intertwined than at any time in the past, with trading blocs (such as the European Union) bringing together the economic interests of some nations. Technology has also made it possible for investors in one nation to become owners of companies located in another nation, and the import and export of goods has also increased to substantially high levels. Even currencies are more closely intertwined than at any time in history, and some countries have taken the extraordinary step of tying their currency to other more stable currencies (such as the American dollar)."

Abstract
A look at the current recession and how it could be avoided. This paper uses quotes and facts about historical U.S. recessions to discuss the current recession. It sheds light on why the U.S. headed towards the recession and describes in detail how it got into this recession and what needs to be done to get out of it.
From the Paper
"Talking about a recession on Wall Street is like telling your wife she has put on a little weight, it just shouldn?t be done. Although this holds truth, the topic has been difficult to avoid over the past six months. After nearly ten years of financial growth, many economists believe that the U.S. economy may be poised for a recession. While many want to point the finger at certain prominent citizens or political groups, a recession can?t be blamed on a single person or action. The most important question is what actions can be taken to avoid a recession. It could be difficult, but there are many different procedures that can be taken to keep our economy on the road of economic prosperity."

From the Paper
'The purpose of this paper is to analyze and critique the book, "Inevitable Revolutions", by Walter LaFeber.
The central position of this book, which deals with U.S. relations with the five Central American countries--Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala--is that the United States has, for approximately 100 years, claimed those countries as fiefdoms of the United States, economically, politically and militarily, and thereby created the conditions for "inevitable revolutions," which have taken place over the last century and are still taking place today.
The story the author tells is nothing less than incredible, particularly since the facts and figures given in the book are generally not to be found in the American media. However, this is not surprising since in that media most information with a ... "

Abstract
This paper examines the latest economic data in the United States to examine whether the current situation can be called a recession and discusses what steps should be taken to prevent a recession.
From the Paper
"As with basically every other nation in the world, the United States has had it?s share of recessions, the latest of which, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, began in March of 2001 (Irons). This came after an expansion that lasted exactly 10 years, making it the longest expansion recorded by the NBER (Hall). Many questions can be posed concerning our current recession. For example, what exactly is a recession, what are its indicators, how has this one been affected by the events of September 11, and what can boost our current economy and prevent recessions in the future?"

Abstract
This three-page undergraduate essay discusses how a complex structure such as the eye could have arisen by evolution. The essay argues that, under conditions of random mutation, production of excess offspring through sexual reproduction, competitive forces, and vast expanses of time, the evolution of complex organs such as eyes is not only immanently plausible, it is virtually inevitable.

Was Secession Inevitable?, 2002.

Abstract
This paper examines the underlying social, political and economic causes of the secession of the South leading to the Civil War. It asks if war was inevitable or if there was any other possible solution to the crisis situation of the time. It focuses mostly on events leading up to the war and briefly describes battles and events.
From the Paper
"By establishing a parallel between their desire for secession and the plight of the original colonists, the South believed that their arguments would engender a more widespread public sympathy and would also lend their claims greater legal strength and validity. They unified their position into what is called the ?compact theory?, first elucidated in the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798. According to the theory, the individual states delegated their authority to the Federal government when they ratified the Constitution and could withdraw it through due process of another convention."

Abstract
This paper explains that the outbreak of the Civil War cannot be contributed to one cause or problem. The paper discusses the factors which contributed to the outbreak of the war. The factors were as follows: economic considerations, the ideologies of the people, and the expansion of the United States territory. The paper shows how slavery in itself was not the single factor contributing to war, but that each succeeding crisis in the country began to bring slavery up as a factor until the politics of the time were a tangle of issues, conflicting attitudes, and personal emotions. The writer explains that being unable to objectively separate these issues brought war upon the nation. In conclusion, the writer states that the ideals of homeland, political stability, freedom for all, economic gain, moral values, and heritage all combined to make the American Civil War inevitable.
From the Paper
"By the 1850's there was an ever-growing imbalance between the North and South in the areas of population and distribution of wealth. The South was quickly becoming the minority faction in a Union based on majority rule. As the South saw themselves slipping into subjugation to the growing political power residing in the North, there was a rising need to defend their economic system in order to survive. Southerners as a whole began to defend slavery as a means of economic survival. With the defense of slavery came an attitude of defensiveness against everything Southern. The South was not going to by bullied by the overbearing North on any issue. This tended to gravitate both sides away from each other and away from methods of compromise. In all the various compromises proposed and passed by the government in the years prior to the Civil War there was never an economic solution to the slavery issue proposed. The North never tried to help the South abolish slavery by finding other methods to fill this need of plantation agriculture or to help bring industry to the South; they wanted slavery abolished without its further spread into the newly acquired territories and that was it.
"The economics of the pre-war United States played a large part in the inevitability of war even though by itself it was not a cause. The economic discussions and emotions asserted over financial distribution caused a political rift, which enlarged to become an uncrossable void. From the South's point of view, the government in Washington was pushing plantation owners into a corner and was destined to bring financial ruin to the south. Agricultural interests knew that for the South to continue to grow economically, the plantation system and southern agriculture in general must be expanded into other territories. It was from this standpoint that economics became tied to territorial expansion."

Grenada: An Inevitable Dependency, 2002.
A discussion of how post-colonial history of Grenada has been determined by its geography.

Abstract
This essay will argue that the post-colonial history of Grenada has, to a profound extent, been determined by its geography. As will be seen, Grenada's small size and limited resources - together with the fact that much of its agricultural production is directed toward "cash crops" for export - has made its independence problematic.

The Inevitable Consequences of Obsession in "Vertigo", 2003.

Abstract
An analysis of the spiral motif in Vertigo, beginning with a close look at suspense and terror. Establishing suspense as the main source of fear in the film, this paper gives a detailed examination of how spirals create suspense through repetition of scenes, settings, and character obsessions, followed by a summary of other spiral effects in the film (Scottie's hallucinations and vertigo). A careful look at the characters, and the spiral nature of their identities, including a look at how the characters interact and force the action of the film towards destruction.
From the Paper
"Beginning at a single point and spinning outwards, the curve of a spiral never hits the same point twice, but the pattern that it follows is always identical. Spirals form the dominant image in Alfred Hitchcock?s Vertigo, beginning in the opening credits with the spirals appearing in the close-up of a woman?s eye. All of the slight details, from Carlotta Valdes? hair to the repetition of clothing, point towards the spiral as a major theme, and the physical spirals direct the viewer?s attention to the repetitions in plot and character. Alfred Hitchcock introduces a spiral motif that permeates all aspects of Vertigo and drives the action towards its inevitable conclusion, but suspense is created as all attempts to break the spiral are thwarted and all hope for happiness fades."

Effect of Current Worldwide Recession on Future Unemployment in the United States
This research examines the effect of the current world-wide recession on the future of unemployment in the United States. A disclaimer needs to be made prior to beginning this analysis. That disclaimer is that no world-wide recession exists in the Spring of 1999. The situation that actually prevails is that many economies around the world are in recession, but many are not in recession. Further, there are areas of regional recession within the global economy (International Monetary Fund, 1999). A notable case in point is East Asia. Certainly, however, a sufficient proportion of the world?s economies are current in recession to warrant an assessment of the potential of this situation to affect future employment levels in the..."
