Abstract
This paper takes an in-depth look at India as a possible location for a new production facility. There are various factors to be taken into consideration by a company looking to open a new facility in a new location, and this paper reviews these factors in relation to India as the location of choice.
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."

Location, Location, Location, 2002.
Discusses the geographical positioning of Great Britain and the issues surrounding it.

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.

Choice-based Education Reform, 2005.
This paper discusses choice-based education reform designed to ensure that under-privileged individuals receive a good education.
5,660 words (approx. 22.6 pages), 35 sources, MLA, £ 97.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the most promising systemic educational reform plan involves school choice, a school system that allows parents to select which school their children attend, thus giving parents the freedom to move their children out of ineffective schools while at the same time motivating the ineffective schools to improve. The author stresses that the government should only open the school choice program to families who 1) demonstrate economic need and 2) whose children would be assigned to an inadequate public school. The paper states that an effective educational system based on choice must include religious schools among the choice options.

From the Paper
"Ironically, reform efforts to ensure equal educational opportunity have faced opposition from interests pursuing a strict desegregation enforcement policy. Some of these proponents of a strict desegregation policy have confused the means with the ends in providing for equal education through the desegregation doctrine established in Brown. The reasoning by the Court in "Brown" implied that the purpose of integration was to ensure that racial minorities received an equal educational opportunity: "We come then to the question presented: Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other "tangible" factors may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities?" This implies that equal "tangible" factors are necessary elements of an equal educational opportunity."

From the Paper
"It is the status of the fetus that appears to be at the center of the controversy. In the first trimester of pregnancy, an "embryo is clearly pre-human; only the mystical notions of religious dogma treat this clump of cells as constituting a person" (Peikoff). And, with this infliction of religious beliefs on others, as mentioned earlier, begins the slippery slope to infringing on others religious freedom."

Imbalance in Population and Park Location, 2006.
This paper discusses the imbalance between population location and park location, looking at the National Parks in western Canada.

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."

From the Paper
"With the digital revolution and the dramatic fall in international telecommunication costs globalization has been made possible. Globalization has changed the way economies operate and this has only been possible due to the various innovations in the technological sectors. India has been in the fore-front of this global revolution. Call-centers, data processing facilities, telemedicine and software development type facilities are opening all over India and China where the labor is cheap and the trade-laws have been liberalized. Globalization would not have become as common as it is today without advancements in technology, mainly the internet. The internet allows real time communication from anywhere to anyone with access to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). With the internet, people can receive the help they need, place orders, arrange shipping and other aspects essential to today's business environment from anywhere there is internet access. Some of the reasons that India was chosen as the location for the call centers is due to the cheap labor rate, the willingness and enthusiasm to work in the global market, and the quality of education to middle class. Despite all the differences in religious, social and economic backgrounds, India has created a workforce that has embraced and used technology to position them at the forefront of outsourcing in a global economy."

Abstract
This paper examines the idea of school choice and explains how it will be detrimental to society as a whole. It explores the historical side of school choice and shows the legal importance of school choice as well as other legal precedents that correlate with school choice. It strongly asserts that a choice in schools does not necessarily guarantee an increase in school quality.
From the Paper
"Public schools in America are obviously inadequate and doing a poor job of properly educating America's youth. The educational foundations of our society are presently being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very future as a nation and a people (Worsnop, 1991). America's schools have been plagued with problems for years. Overworked, under-qualified teachers, and a lack of resources and/or funding are only a few of these problems. Many propose that school choice will be the magical solution to these problems. School choice is a broad term used to describe a wide variety of political, policy, and practical student enrollment options available to parents and the educators and who manage the public school K-12 systems throughout the United States (Cookson, 2004)."

Abstract
Given that each and every one of us is exposed to advertisers and marketers attempting to motivate us to choose their product, whether we need it or not, understanding the dynamics between motivation and choice should be high on every educated person's list. The paper explains that if we do not understand how we are being manipulated by the media and for what ends, we cannot make informed choices about other things in life. This paper compares and contrasts two modern theories of motivation and choice - the personally intrinsic and the socially intrinsic.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
History of Study of Motivation
Extrinsic vs. Intrinsic Rewards
Choice and Intrinsic Motivation in Western Civilization
Motivation and Choice in Non-Western Cultures
Conclusions
References
From the Paper
"Generally, Westerners appear to be more interested in the concepts of motivation and choice because they are an intrinsic part of our culture. Certainly, as corporations grow globally both in their markets as well as in their employment, understanding what motivates employees and consumers from other cultures will be very important to the international corporations of the 21st Century."

Public Choice Theory, 2008.
This paper discusses the issue of public choice theory and urban governance.
1,056 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 7 sources, MLA, £ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article the writer explores public choice theory and the argument that public choice theory provides a thoughtful assessment of what needs to be done if urban governments are to become efficacious and expeditious providers of services to their citizens. The paper briefly outlines the general argument presented by advocates of local government and then provides some of the compelling arguments raised by those who feel public choice theory does not offer a stalwart solution to the problems of local governance. In the end, the writer maintains that while it sounds superficially appealing, public choice theory does not have a lot of empirical data to support many of its key claims.
From the Paper
"Additionally, public choice theorists argue that municipal governments, because they are monopoly providers, are inefficient insofar as they have little incentive to lower their prices or be innovative. Public choice theorists thus argue that there needs to be a separation between the demand articulation role of government (the collective process whereby it is ascertained how and how much of something will be set aside for public use) and the supplier role of government. Simply put, when governments have to buy services for something, they tend to be exacting in determining the value given for the monies received. All in all, the public choice theorist cleaves to the view that local governance needs to be run as a business - and that government often falls short in its obligations to the general public because it does not separate the provider role and the production role involved in the delivery of a good or service, thereby creating costly inefficiency and waste."

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."

School Choice: Pro and Con, 2005.
A discussion of the pros and cons of school choice.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 5 sources, £ 37.95
»

Abstract
The paper examines the subject of school choice. After quantifying what school choice is, the paper discusses whether this should be accepted by the legislature, by schools and by parents and whether it is the best decision for children. The paper further analyses how it affects the way children learn. A further question of whether school choice will result in needy children or children from minorities being segregated, as this could mean they attend schools with little funding and few opportunities, is addressed.
From the Paper
"Choice is everywhere in American education" (School Choice Facts). When a person stops to think about school choice, he or she will realize that school choice is quite common to every parent. Parents decide where they want their children to go to school and move into the residential areas where those schools are located (School Choice Facts). Sometimes this means paying high costs of rent, but it is worth it to the parents. Some parents make the decision whether to send their children to private school. This means that parents decide the cost of the private school is worth paying fees, books, and other costs. Some parents decide to home school and mothers often decide not to work so they can teach their children at home. All of these involve school choice. School choice is not new. Different countries have tried programs similar to what the U.S. calls school choice."

Rational Choice Theory and Post-Modernism, 2002.
Discussion of the Rational Choice Theory and the Post-Modernist Theory, and how these two different theories can, to some degree, be reconciled.

Abstract
The development of Rational Choice Theory in the 20th century arose out of economic theory. Through such thinkers as Homans, Blau and Coleman it has emerged as an important school of thought. The theory focuses upon the rational calculations carried out by individuals guided by self-interest. Post-modernism, another contemporary theory, is in many ways in friction with rational choice theory, for the fundamental capitalist drive espoused by rational choice is seen as nothing but a social construct by the post-modern tradition. Alfred Schutz, a twentieth century phenomenologist, reconciles these two strains of thought to some degree by bringing up the notion of individual perception which encompasses both the social constructs and the drive for self-interest.

Rational Choice and Human Behavior, 2006.
A discussion regarding Freud versus Kant, and the issue of rational choice.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 2 sources, £ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the concept of rational choice which suggests that the individual has the ability to make decisions after contemplation of all areas of concern, and that choice is based on free will. Kant's view in relation to Adam and Eve supports this notion. However, Freud's interpretation of rationality in relation to mankind suggests that natural forces lead man to make decisions and that he is compelled by these forces which involve no rationalization whatsoever. This paper discusses how these contrasting views provide theories on human existence and what leads man to make choices that will affect his life and the lives of others.
