Abstract
The following paper addresses how the geographical distance between urban centers and parkland can very easily hurt the latter insofar as it makes it more difficult for people to visit such areas (largely because of the cost and inconvenience). A second matter addressed in the paper also considers the factors which determine activity selection and argues that age is the greatest single factor in the recreational pursuits people pursue.
From the Paper
"One of the most important considerations when examining the impact of geography upon human behaviour is the role of propinquity. That is to say, people tend to frequent the places that are nearest where they live. Suffice it to say, one of the problems confronting the National Park System in Canada (especially Western Canada) is that many of these parks are not located near major urban centers."

"In 1955, Walt Disney opened an amusement park in Anaheim, California, which changed the way that Americans, and the world, viewed such entertainment. Once the domain of carnival hucksters, amusement parks underwent a significant makeover at the hands of the head of the Disney Studios. Through shrewd marketing, including a tie-in to a national television program, Disney successfully marketed Disneyland as a unique entertainment experience and made his theme park world famous. In the mid-1960s, plans were made for a second park, this one located in Florida, which was significant larger than the Anaheim park and which opened in the early 1970s. A third theme park opened in the 1980s in Tokyo, and a fourth in Europe in the early 1990s. The company also operates resorts at each of the theme park sites (with the exception of ..."

Abstract
This paper will address four key features. First, that the country of Great Britain is unique as a nation as it is physically isolated from the rest of the world. Second, that this positioning has forced Britain to become entirely dependent on the economic processes of importing and exporting and therefore was an instigating factor in the Industrial Revolution. Third, that Great Britain's physical isolation has resulted in forming political alliances based outside the trade process. And fourth, that expected shortages in natural resources would adversely affect the welfare of Great Britain if the country maintains its current political and trade states.

Joshua Tree National Park, 2007.
This paper discuses the geological history of Joshua Tree National Park, located within the Transverse Ranges Province near Riverside County, California.

Abstract
This paper explains that the boundaries of Joshua Tree National Park are several mountain ranges including a quadrangle underlain by a basement terrane comprising Proterozoic metamorphic rocks, Mesozoic plutonic rocks, and Mesozoic or Cenozoic hypabyssal dikes. The author points out that, even in arid climates such as Joshua Tree National Park, water and wind are the key dynamic as far as erosion of rock is concerned; however, what is seen today in this park is a collection of relict features inherited from an earlier time of higher rainfall and lower temperatures. The paper stresses that the park, located just east of the San Andreas fault zone, is crisscrossed with hundreds of faults from ancient and recent earthquakes, which can be viewed and clearly understood by an alert visitor to the park.
From the Paper
"On June 28, 1992, the largest earthquake to have hit the contiguous United States in 40 years hit the Joshua Tree National Park area - a 7.3 Richter Scale shaker. It was called the Landers Earthquake Sequence; it was the result of a "right-lateral shear on five major faults," according to an article in the journal "Science". The earthquake was generated in an 80-kilometer-wide swath of seismically active faults along the southern part of the eastern California "shear zone" - of which Joshua Tree is a part."

From the Paper
"As China's economy continues to grow at an unprecedented rate, there exists a pressing issue that has been overshadowed by optimism of China's future. Like China's GDP growth, China's imbalanced sex-ratio has also unprecedented highs. If not handled properly, this issue poses a serious problem for the future of China's stability and growth, especially regarding politics, society, and economics."
"The sex-ratio at birth is defined as the number of males born divided by the number of females born. Most modern societies have a SRB of around 105. This means that for every 100 females born, there are roughly 105 males born . This "natural" rate is mostly because females have higher survival rates than males, especially in modern societies. In other words, males have more age related deaths than females . China, on the other hand is experiencing a demographic phenomenon with sex-ratios of up to 120 in certain provinces."

Abstract
This paper provides a geographical study of three U.S. learning institutions. The area for this geographical research is limited to the Pacific Northwest of Washington State, where the University of Washington, Seattle Pacific University and Western Washington University are located. The geographical location of these schools is contingent upon their singular occupation of land; each has rights to the terrain where it sits with historical significance. To understand the geography of their location, the paper analyzes the history that brought about the universities in the first place.

"Far from the excitement of the city is Western Washington University, oblivious to the urban problems that affect institutions located in a metropolis. Its geography is due entirely to the path of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The Northern Pacific not only moved goods in and out of Washington state, but it moved settlers in, who, in some cases, took it upon themselves to create centers of life, intellect, and positive movement forward, by settling not only their homes in communities surrounding the railway, but also there establishing great intellectual centers for the greater good."

From the Paper
"While the Indian market is large, it is not as large as it might be had the Indian economy been better for a longer period of time. While India's population has just broached 1 billion, a mere 3 million passenger cars travel the roads. Still, there is a promise of a burgeoning well educated and prosperous middle class that has served as a lure that so far has attracted 14 global automakers to India's major manufacturing centers in Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, and Chennai. The main reason for the investment is seen in the data on the country and its market. Currently, the ratio of cars per head is one of the lowest in the world at nearly four cars per 1,000 people. Just bringing India up to average ownership level of developing countries (39 vehicles per 1,000) would require the sales of 35 million vehicles. Indian automobile sales did surge ahead in the first half of the fiscal year ending next March 31, 1999 as commercial vehicle sales for the first six months rose to 71,153 units from 55,259 in the corresponding period of 1998. The market for automotive components in India is expected to be worth $4 billion in a short time. Car sales increased to 300,419 units in 1999 compared with 205,087 a year earlier, which is a reflection of a return of consumer confidence following Asia's 1997 economic free fall, and this also reflects favorably on a range of new small car models recently introduced, such as the Honda City, Daewoo Matiz, and Ford Ikon. It is expected that the country's market for small cars, alone, will grow to 160,000 units, up from 100,000 last fiscal year."

Pelvic Imbalance.
A clinical review of pelvic imbalance and its possible link to idiopathic musculoskeletal pain.

Abstract
This study attempts to prove the hypothesis that the maintaining factor in many patients' idiopathic musculoskeletal pain (MSP) syndromes can be linked to an imbalance in the pelvic structures. The paper further attempts to determine whether poor physical therapeutic outcome measures could be directly related to this pelvic imbalance and what sort of treatment must be undertaken in order to improve therapeutic outcomes. The paper concludes that improved treatment outcomes for patients with MSP syndromes can best be achieved by providing global treatment through an integrated model that incorporates myofascial and joint manipulation and the establishment of optimal pelvic functional balance.

Abstract
This paper discusses that relational approaches to thinking about regional disparities or imbalances include dependency theory, Neo-Marxism, the Hinterlanders' theory, and early Canadian economic history and political sociology, especially the theories of Fowke and Innis. All of these theories stress that regions are defined in relation to one another, discover that regions and regional imbalances are historically produced (they exist as a result of historical economic/social/political interactions) and that they consequently change over time.

The paper presents a formula to use to evaluate the profit function of any industry.
From the Paper
"Businesses which produce both goods and pollution ignore government authority at serious risk to themselves. Therefore, the subject of this paper will be the locational and decision of a hypothetical brick-making factory which generates a great deal of pollution in the form of dust and noise. The decision must factor in the potential costs of regulation as well as the traditional costs associated with all other types of businesses."

Location in "Romeo and Juliet", 2005.
An analysis of how William Shakespeare uses location and the dual plots of "Romeo and Juliet".

Abstract
This paper analyzes how Shakespeare manipulates indoor and outdoor settings to drive the two different plots: the private love of Romeo and Juliet and the public feud between the Capulet's and Montague's. In doing this, public and private scenes are also intertwined to contrast the intensity and power of the young lover's passion with the folly and senseless damage of the old feud that dooms them. It also examines how Shakespeare manipulates the tension created by displaying these two plots, side by side in some scenes, to create both comedy and sorrow. Whatever the effect, Shakespeare skillfully plays with the societal meanings attached to these places to enhance the drama of the theatrical performance.
From the Paper
"The play begins with the establishment of the families' feud by showing public conflict between Sampson and Gregory, servants of Capulet, and Abraham and Balthazar, of the house of Montague (I.i 35-55). This takes place in a public, outdoor arena, a street in Verona, which brings in two important elements of the feud between the two houses: the compulsion to fight because of family honor, which is demonstrated by the insults that preface the swordfight, and the sense of public justice holding these feuding men accountable, which hints that the feud is a legacy of the past."

Effort-Reward Imbalance, 2006.
An in-depth analysis of role of negative effectivity in the work stress process.

Abstract
This study investigates two hypotheses related to effort-reward imbalance (ERI). The paper discusses the role of negative effectivity in the work stress process. It analyzes the reverse causation theory, that argues that people with high negative effectivity such as anger, are cynical towards their work environment because they tend to focus on the negative aspects of their world. It then compares this to the idea that the work environment itself can increase the negative effectivity or trait emotions of individuals.
From the Paper
"However, the results did not support the hypothesis that the anger expression variables of anger in and anger out would mediate the relationship between trait anger and CVD symptoms. The SES indicator variable 'average salary' had a significant negative association with trait anger and an indirect association with CVD symptoms in the model. The results indicated that a person with a lower average yearly salary might have an increased chance of experiencing high trait anger and CVD symptoms. These results also support other research linking low SES to CVD (Kuper et al., 2002)."

Location and Constraint Globalization, 2007.
This paper examines the factors that have contributed to globalization.

Abstract
This paper describes the far reaching impact of globalization. Four factors that contribute to globalization are highlighted in the paper: (1) technological change, particularly the ICT revolution; (2) the spread of market-based systems; (3) domestic politics--pro-globalization forces are more politically significant; and (4) inter-state rivalries. The writer further states that location and constraint in globalization are two key issues that require studying and understanding before embarking on this re-emerging trend.
From the Paper
"Globalisation has been part of human existence since the dawn of civilization. Since the first wanderers went off the land to hunt, and the ancient traders crossed the seas to trade, globalisation became part of human evolution. In a sense, "Globalisation is not just a recent phenomenon. Some analysts have argued that the world economy was just as globalised 100 years ago as it is today. Economic 'globalisation' is a historical process, the result of human innovation and technological progress. It refers to the increasing integration of economies around the world, particularly through trade and financial flows. The term sometimes also refers to the movement of people (labor) and knowledge (technology) across international borders. There are also broader cultural, political and environmental dimensions of globalisation that are not covered here. At its most basic, there is nothing mysterious about globalisation. The term has come into common usage since the 1980s, reflecting technological advances that have made it easier and quicker to complete international transactions--both trade and financial flows. It refers to an extension beyond national borders of the same market forces that have operated for centuries at all levels of human economic activity--village markets, urban industries, or financial centers.
