Abstract
In this paper the writer compares and contrasts three articles - "Sustainable Globalization" by Simone Borghese and Alessandro Vercelli, "Globalization and the Environment" by Nicholas A. Ashford and David Suzuki's "Economics and Politics". The writer argues that each article raises intelligent points but that each one is also given to emotional or infelicitous language as well as to conclusions that are not infallible. The writer maintains that the main idea, fundamentally, of all of the articles is that globalization has exacerbated global inequalities and that international and domestic efforts must be undertaken to rectify the situation.
From the Paper
"By comparison, the second article, "Globalization and the Environment," an article penned by Nicholas A. Ashford, does not devote its opening pages to outlining the structure of the argument being set forward. Rather, Ashford begins right away by criticizing how the laws governing public health policy in the United States have been dominated and shaped by rational choice theory and by other free market economic fetishes. Ashford's first page is committed wholly to outlining the characteristics of the "American Disease" in health policy - a "disease" he attributes, in part, to government non-interventionism (the government, in other words, sees itself as a mediator and not as a trustee for public health and for the environment) and to the curious conviction that the industries which are creating problems in various aspects of public living are nonetheless the industries which will find a way to resolve the problem."

Abstract
The paper compares and contrasts two articles on globalization. The paper looks at their contexts, writing styles, intents and layout. The paper explains that Broswimmer's article "Ecocide and Globalization" is concerned with the "big picture" when it comes to globalization and in stark, accessible language, he sounds a wake-up call. The paper contrasts this to Tomlinson's article "Globalization and Culture" that addresses only one aspect of globalization, with the text not being accessible to all.
From the Paper
"The first thing to note when comparing these two articles is the context. Tomlinson's article is the first chapter of a book called Globalization and Culture. Thus, we know that the context is to introduce and frame an examination of this narrow aspect of globalization. Tomlinson acknowledges that his account is not multidimensional, but at the same time asserts that an account of merely the cultural "slice" of globalization does not have to be one dimensional - and indeed, he does a very good job of relating this one dimension to the wider reality of globalization."

Abstract
Three articles on the topic of globalization are compared and contrasted in the paper. The articles are: "Globalization" by John Isbister, "A Globalized Culture: The End of Vision?" by Mary C. Grey and "Ecocide and Globalization" by Franz J. Broswimmer. Though each article agrees in their criticism of globalization and portrays it as a dangerous phenomena, their arguments are very different. The paper begins by looking at the context of each article.
From the Paper
"The three articles to be compared and contrasted here are "Globalization" by John Isbister; "A Globalized Culture: The End of Vision?" by Mary C. Grey; and "Ecocide and Globalization" by Franz J. Broswimmer. All three of these articles deal with the subject of globalization, but in different ways. They have in common that they are all critical of globalization, and portray it as a very great danger to humans at this time. However, apart from this commonality, they are very different. It is useful to first consider the context of the three articles. Broswimmer's article is from a book entitled Ecocide: A Short History of the Mass Extinction of Species."

From the Paper
"Each of these factors exist in a current international arena that is full of global pluralisms that are expressed in the basic form of a group or groups. These groups can be held together by many differing factors that bind them within and without themselves making for a very complicated and multidimensional framework. On one side, the cementing factors can be broken down to include economic factors, political factors, and military power. These are often termed the "hard facts' of global life. The other side, commonly referred to as the 'soft facts' of global life, contains the cement that consists of ethnicity, language, history, origins, and religion. In an effort to explain these cementing factors one or two of them are often singled out as holding more importance or influence on the how and why these groups exist or change over time."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts two articles that deal with the devastating impacts of economic globalization - "Ecocide and Globalization" by Franz J. Broswimmer and "The Breath of all Green Things" by David Suzuki. It discusses the different ways in which each article approaches its subject. It then analyzes the points that they have in common.
From the Paper
"Given that we are faced with such an appalling problem, what do these two theorists suggest we do? Here too we see the differences in their approaches. Broswimmer highlights the role of the global transnational corporations, which he accuses of munching their way through the earth's resources in their drive to make ever-increasing profits. He refers to this with a powerful and unforgettable term, as a "terminal grand buffet"; and then goes on, chillingly, to allege that "the loss of species and the associated reduction of biodiversity are, for all practical purposes, irreversible and final" (91). Having truly frightened the reader, Broswimmer then goes on to advocate a "green" solution based on ecological democracy. At this point, he begins to sound a little like Suzuki. Suzuki's proposed solution is equally green, though not nearly so theoretical and ambitious. He merely proposes that we become aware that we share the planet; that it is one great ecosystem - and one that we could easily destroy if we continue on our current path."

Abstract
This paper describes and defines the contemporary social change of globalization, particularly as it relates to the United States. Next, the paper discusses the historical background of U.S.'s industrial revolution. The paper them compares and contrasts these two social phenomena, including their impact on human and civil rights, the economy and the U.S.'s international position.
From the Paper
"Globalization is a term that came into popular usage in the mid 1980's. It was used to describe the increased movement of people, knowledge and ideas, and goods and money across national borders that has led to increased interconnectedness among the world's populations, economically, politically, socially and culturally. Globalization is characterized commonly in economic terms such as the colloquially phrased "global marketplace." This process has many social and political implications as well. Social scientists often associate cultural modernization with globalization, that is, crossing borders and mixing one culture with another to create a new cultural phenomenon. At the global level, the paradigm of globalization is characterized through the quagmires it poses to the role of governments in international affairs and the global economy."

Perspectives on Globalization, 2007.

Abstract
This paper compares two articles that address the issue of globalization - Jan Aart Scholte's article "What is Happening?" and John Tomlinson's article "Globalization and Culture." The paper analyzes each of the articles and discusses their contrasting style and scope. The paper concludes that while these two articles are very different in terms of the breadth of their scope, they are by no means contradictory.
From the Paper
"At first glance, these two definitions appear quite different - and this is no doubt because they are. However, it is important to note that they are not mutually exclusive. On the contrary, they can exist quite comfortably alongside each other, and may in fact be seen as complementary. The rise in global supraterritoriality that Scholte notes is echoed in the cultural sphere by the growing network of social interconnections and inter-dependences that Tomlinson focuses on. Again, the difference is that Scholte's focus is broad, while Tomlinson's is narrow."
"As we have seen, these two articles are very different in terms of the breadth of their scope. However, they are by no means contradictory. On the contrary, they complement each other rather well, and thus function well together as an introduction to globalization for the reader."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the viewpoints of Tarak Barkawi and Thomas Friedman and their contributions to the study of globalization. It discusses their opinions, as described in their books "Globalization and War" and "The World is Flat," respectively. The paper concludes that Barkawi and Friedman vary greatly in their style and respective viewpoints.
From the Paper
"Although they vary greatly in their style and respective viewpoints, both Barkawi and Friedman make valuable contributions to the study of globalization. With regards to globalization and the role of the state, Barkawi view is in certain respects neo-realist in nature, while Friedman is neo-liberal with some restrictions. Barkawi regards war and the state as prominent agents of interconnection in a globalized world, while Friedman feels that they pose a hindrance to the spread of free markets. Friedman's neo-liberal approach is fundamentally flawed, but he makes several relevant, valid points. His book offers an revealing glance at the extent to which the economy has become internationalized, while Barkawi's takes an enlightening look at the formidable role that war and the state have played in forging transnational connections. In addition, he analyzes (and discredits) a number of different paradigms concerning the study of international relations."

Abstract
This paper discusses and compares Steven K. Vogel's article, "The Crisis of German and Japanese Capitalism" and Gary Teeple's article, "The Global Economy and the Decline of Social Reform." It describes the different style and focus of each article, as well as their similarities, especially in their main focus on modern day economic globalization and the current state of capitalism.
From the Paper
"The thousands of Canadians who recently had to line up to get passports to cross the world's longest "friendly border" and enter the territory of our nearest neighbour most likely did not feel as if they were at the end of the era of the nation-state. Similarly, Canadian/Syrian national Maher Arar, who was allegedly deported to Syria via Jordan by the US government in 2002, there to be detained and tortured for a year, most likely did not feel as if he was living in the era of the end of the nation-state (Amnesty International, 2003). A year of being tortured in the name of national rivalries and animosities between two different nation states would cause most people to believe quite strongly that the nation state was alive and well. On the other hand, Teeple's analysis goes to the macro economic forces that operate below the surface, and it might be possible to simultaneously believe in the end of the nation-state in relation to economics, while allowing that deeply held animosities between nation states could continue to cause incidents such as Arar's ordeal, as well as calamities such as 9/11."

Abstract
Lufthansa has moved from a "regional monopolist" to become a major player in the international air services industry. The formation of the Star Alliance and Lufthansa's continuing acquisition of regional carriers has provided the impetus for Lufthansa to move into the global arena in a major way. This paper reviews the processes by which Lufthansa can now optimize its strategic global alliances and draws on comparison with other airline groups which have adopted similar strategies. An analysis of Lufthansa's organizational structure and its appropriateness for its new corporate structure is also provided, as well as recommendations as to how Lufthansa can continue its corporate growth to become a leader in the global air industry into the 21st century.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
Analysis of Lufthansa's Structure
To What Extent Should Lufthansa Internationalize Its Costs?
What Management Development Procedures Might Lufthansa Need to Develop
How Can Lufthansa Maintain the Momentum Required to Become a Leading Global Airline into the 21st Century?
Conclusion
Works Cited
From the Paper
"Among the key benefit to customers of Star Alliance airlines are its "Rewards and Recognition" program. Any member of any Star Alliance frequent flyer program can accumulate and redeem mileage points on all scheduled flights operated by all alliance airlines. This additional incentive to international travelers has clearly paid off for Lufthansa. The Star Alliance also offers frequent flyer miles collected on paid qualifying Star Alliance flights count toward achieving "top-tier status" in the frequent flyer plan of the traveler's choice."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"The questionability of the core assumption contained in 'ethics training as sanctions' does not invalidate the proposal itself. The application of a redefined version of the 'ethics training as sanctions,' one which acknowledges that ethic violations are often deliberate and express an innate disregard for the code, can positively contribute to the strengthening of the legal ethics project. As Goodlad (1995) argues, the greater majority of legal practitioners have not benefited from a law education which centralised legal ethics or which integrated the imperatives and components of ethics evaluation and moral judgment and practice into the academic curriculum. Therefore, their ethics development, as contrasted to their academic development, is immature (p. 93). Within the framework of this understanding, the preponderant lack of commitment to the ethics code emanates, not from lack of knowledge but, from lack of understanding. Ethics training is beneficial in this regard insofar as it can create and transmit that understanding, thereby compensating for the legal ethics education deficit (p. 94)."
