Abstract
This paper asks whether the progress of the industrial revolution came at a cost. The paper begins with an overview of the positive benefits of industrialization on American society. Then the paper turns to the negative fall-out. The author discusses: (1) the false notion that leisure time would increase as a result of industrialization; (2) the growing disparity between rich and poor; (3) the loss of personal fulfillment that workers had in their profession; (4) the urbanization of America; (5) an increase in materialism; and (6) the danger posed to workers by a lack of safety precautions in factories.

From the Paper
"Thomas Jefferson foresaw some of the problems that could occur with an industrial society. In the early history of the United States and before industrialization had really begun, he believed that the new nation should avoid the path of industrialization because of what he said were its inherent evils. Jefferson thought that that manufacturing had a corrupting influence on society, that it created urban centers full of vice and awful living conditions. The urban class of factory worker that it would create he described as "debased by ignorance, indigence, and oppresion" (Dudley 25). Jefferson concluded that the "only way for the American society to survive in its republican form was to populate it with self-sufficient farmers who owned their own property and thus were subservient to no one" (Dudley 25). While there is no way Jefferson could have foresaw the exact impact the industrial revolution would have, positive and negative, many of his predictions would come eerily close to being fulfilled. Almost one hundred years later, W. D. Dabney, a nineteenth-century economist, argued much the same thing with one important exception, the industrial revolution was well underway. Dabney, in hindsight, stated that "before industrialization, most people lived on farms or in small communities and were largely self-sufficient in providing for their basic needs and wants through their own labor and capital - a situation which he asserts was conducive to stability, economic equality, and social contentment" (Dudley 178) One thing is certain, industrialization brought massive change. A new civilization was created, one based on the machine."

Abstract
This paper describes the relationship between Dorothy Wordsworth and her famous brother William. It shows how Dorothy played the woman's role of nurturing and supporting the poetic genius of her brother with whom she shared a mutually intimate and dependent relationship. It outlines her entire life from being orphaned to debilitating senility and includes her friendship with Coleridge. Critical analysis from numerous scholarly sources is included to reveal the extent to which Dorothy acted as William's poetic and spiritual inspiration and alter ego.
From the Paper
"William Wordsworth was the famous Romantic poet. His sister Dorothy was his quiet strength, support and inspiration. Dorothy Wordsworth (1771-1855) devoted her life to her brother (1770-1850). Intimate friends and close confidants, they shared an immense mutual dependence and were of extreme significance and value to each other. As William put it in his poem, "The Recluse," as quoted in the title above, brother and sister journeyed not only to Grasmere, but through all of life, "side by side," blown by the winds of life, "like two birds, companions in mid-air,/Parted and reunited by the blast (Clark 28)."

Abstract
One of the functions of the government is to maintain stability in the economy and create an environment conducive for economic growth. The paper discusses the differing roles of the government from supply side and demand side perspective. In supply side economics, the government may reduce tax rates to create incentives for households to save and for business to invest. In demand side economics, the government may increase its expenditure level. The paper shows how both have the effect of increasing national output. The writer states that government expenditure, however, depends on revenues, the level of which is determined by the tax policy in place.
From the Paper
"Supply side economics adheres to the idea that cuts in tax rates will lead to increase in potential GNP (Taylor, 1995, p. 549) Supply side economists claim that tax cuts have incentive effects on savings, investment and labor supply. (Dornbusch & Fischer, 1990, p. 697) Lower tax rates mean less tax on capital gains or asset earnings and this encourages people to save. A rise in savings increases the supply of financial capital or credit leading to a decrease in interest rates, the price of capital. This stimulates investment thereby creating jobs. At the same time, lower tax rates mean higher after-tax income or disposable income for workers, so reductions in tax rates encourage them to work more. This results to an increase in labor supply. Together with the rise in investments, this leads to an increase in production activities in the country boosting the national output and eventually expanding the tax base. "

Oil Prices and the Air Cargo Industry, 2006.
This paper is an analysis of the effect of rising oil prices on the air cargo industry
3,520 words (approx. 14.1 pages), 18 sources, APA, £ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, even though oil companies are credited with most of the blame, reasons contributing to the recent high rises in oil are such factors as the increasing demands for oil products in Asia, Russia's primary oil company's recent failure, oil producing companies' political instability, terrorism and fears regarding military tactics. The paper points out that the air cargo industry is adversely affected by rising oil prices because fuel accounts for between 20-30% of their operational costs. The paper relates that these fuel costs for the air cargo industry also are affected by the airports that sell the fuel, the companies that supply the fuel to the airports and the government of the involved country. The paper includes a table, illustrations and the survey.

From the Paper
"Questions are regularly contemplated and discussed whether terrorists' attacks on September 11, 2001 could be an additional factor contributing to decreases in the air cargo's profits. Lufthansa Cargo, however, with huge freighter fleets had already begun to decease their company's capacity before 911, responding to economic fallout. Following the 911 disaster, nevertheless, most airlines reduced their capacity by 10 -15 percent. In addition, a majority of carriers began to impose security surcharges to upset counter-terror actions."

"The best way to determine what the future might hold is to understand the past and the present, and add to that the changes seen by experts on the horizon. Therefore, constructing the history of Pakistani banking forms a major part of the current research; outlining contemporaneous changes and decisions regarding Pakistani banking made by its most senior officials is also important to understanding the influences on bank manager career tracks and attitudes. In addition, an extensive literature review of those factors that generally contribute t manager career orientation in any business will help understand the Pakistani bank managers' positions. Interviews with at least a few current Pakistani bank managers will display the attitudes they currently hold, and provide insight into what they expect in the future and what would make them more or less career-oriented."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Ontario province government has implemented several strategies to encourage private sector investment in the province's automobile industry. These strategies combine loans and grants that are designed to "top up" or encourage the investments of companies in the private sector. The author points out that the ideological underpinning of this strategy is liberal democratic capitalism under which the state is seen as playing a supportive role to industry by absorbing some of the costs associated with industrial growth and development. The paper relates that the cars manufactured in Canada are not intended to compete in the global marketplace but rather almost entirely in the U.S. as intracorporate trade in the form of parts and assembly for different plants of the same company on different sides of the Canada-US border. The author points out that the Canadian competitive advantages are the low value of Canada's currency in comparison to the United States dollar and the various Canada-U.S. trade agreements.
From the Paper
"Globalization has also been recognized by critics of Canadian industrial policy as a threat to Canadian jobs and the economy as a whole, for it is argued that highly paid Canadian workers cannot compete on a globally leveled playing field against much more lowly paid workers in places such as Mexico. While many specialists in the fields of trade and economics have argued that free trade and globalization are essential to foster competitiveness in Canadian industry, it seems likely that there will be some cost to Canada given the historic low competition ranking of Canadian industry when compared with its global competitors."

Abstract
This paper discusses the highly controversial issue of abortion, beginning with a look at the famous case that made abortion legal and the moral and legal questions that make the subject so controversial. The paper presents arguments on both sides of the debate and concludes with the author's own opinion and how she was influenced by the research done for this paper.
From the Paper
"The expulsion of a fetus from the uterus before it can survive on its own. This is how Merriam-Webster??s Collegiate ?? Dictionary defines abortion. From the beginning of its legality, abortion has been a hotly debated subject. In 1973 the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade that a woman??s right to privacy gives her the right, free from state interference, to terminate a pregnancy. In this ruling, Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun divided pregnancy into three stages. In the first stage, called a trimester, abortion was to be legal for any reason for the woman, whether the reason was medically or socially driven. In the second trimester, state??s interest in the health of the mother gave it the right to regulate abortions. In the third trimester, at the time of viability, the state??s interest in the potential for life would allow for them to only make legal abortions available for the life or health of the mother. This is where we derive the definition provided above for abortion."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The business environment is becoming harder to decipher and predict as market forces and customer buying patterns undergo dizzying changes and competition toughens in all industries. With this situation, the widely shared belief that a clever manager can improvise and take off-the-cuff actions as the problems and threats to profitability come along will no longer do. Planning ahead is now the name of the game. Even the so-called reality shows on TV made out as spontaneous events are in fact heavily scripted. Recent studies show that organizations that plan their operations perform better than those that do not (Joyce & Woods). Academic research seems to show enough evidence that strategic management is valuable in today's business context. Another unmistakable sign of its growing importance is the increasing use of strategic management courses in business schools. The question is: Does it work in actual practice?"

"The Prison Industrial Complex", 2005.
A discussion on the topic of prison labor in the article by Eric Schlosser, "The Prison Industrial Complex" on prison labor.

Abstract
This paper discusses one element of the Atlantic Monthly article by Eric Schlosser, "The Prison Industrial Complex", which is prison labor. It further focuses on both sides of the debate regarding the United State's use of prisoners as labor for major corporations, and the benefits that many are achieving by this process. It also discusses the opposition to the use of prisoners as labor, and how this practice may be considered a civil rights issue that borders on slavery.
From the Paper
"In ancient times it was customary for prisoners held in various countries to perform labor as part of their confinement. As civilization grew, and laws were aimed at protecting human rights, prison labor became obsolete because of the dangers to health and life that many forms of prison labor induced. However, in the last few years the debate over prison labor has begun to escalate in the United States. This is due to the rise of major corporations that utilize prisoners for manufacturing, telemarketing, and other forms of industrial manpower. Although some believe that using prisoners as a portion of the corporate workforce is beneficial, others contend that the use of prison labor constitutes a return to the days of slavery in the United States, and is a violation of civil rights. In his Atlantic Monthly article, Eric Schlosser discusses, "The Prison Industrial Complex". "

Abortion: Both Sides of the Issue, 2006.
This paper examines beliefs about abortion from both sides of the issue.

Abstract
This paper considers the two sides of the abortion debate. The first section deals with the issue from the individual woman's perspective or the pro-choice perspective. The next section deals with the rights of the fetus, or the pro-life view. The paper also includes a brief review of current literature relating to this controversy. After a cursory look at both sides of the argument it is clear that the two groups cannot be easily reconciled because their arguments stem from radically different beliefs. It is impossible to say that one is right and one is wrong, but it is helpful to understand why there is so much passion on both sides.
From the Paper
"The argument, from both sides, also begins to take on medical and ethical issues. At what point is it that the fetus actually is a human being? According to some, it is at the point of conception. Others would believe that it is after a certain period of gestation, anywhere from one to six months. Still others believe that it is at the point where the fetus could survive on its own outside of the womb; but with modern technology, that point is becoming sooner. Premature infants' survival rates are increasing each year. This argument is more and more difficult to define, and it really depends upon the beliefs of each individual, rather than upon the "facts." "

Abstract
This paper illustrates the role played by the Lower East Side in the development of Jewish culture in the United States. The paper presents the key element in Diner?s argument that the Lower East Side neighborhood represents every aspect of the Jewish experience in America. The paper discusses how the Lower East Side neighborhood emerged as the emblem of American Jewish history and became the vehicle through which American Jews presented themselves
From the Paper
"Diner used a wide variety sources and evidence to support her argument. ?Images of the Lower East Side circulated across New York and around America through words and pictures (157)?. She presents many types of literature for support. Books, poems, newspapers, and magazines, even if the geographic focus was not New York City, still referenced streets or sections of the Lower East Side. ?In representations of Jews in America, the Lower East Side served as the standard of Jewish measurement. A 1980s ?docudrama? about a young Jewish peddler who learned about America and about himself while on the road bore the title West of Hester Street, obviously a big swath of geography (33).? "

Abstract
This paper focuses on homelessness and poverty in the east side of downtown Vancouver, which comprises the poorest postal code in Canada, and suggests ways to combat these problems. The paper states that the area is renowned for drug addiction, homelessness and prostitution, and is also the home of the highest HIV infection concentration in North America. The paper adds that despite such poverty, crime and disease, the east side of downtown continues to grow in size and population. To conclude, the paper suggests that increasing low-cost housing is a possible solution, which will require that the government inject a large sum of money into the project.

From the Paper
"Another problem involves the trickiness of the welfare program and difficulty in obtaining eligibility. In 2001, it was found that 15% of the street homeless were not on welfare. By early 2004, this number increased to 50%; shockingly, the number rose to 75% by summer 2004 (City of Vancouver, cited in Raisetherates.org). If Vancouver's street population were eligible for welfare, at least they would have a chance of using money to pay for rent and move indoors. However, eligibility for welfare has been tightened and many who were once eligible for welfare no longer are."

"Side Bar is a bar located at Wakeup! Accomodation for backpackers. Management of Side Bar realizes it is not gaining enough customers to earn sufficient profit in order to cover expenses of daily operations. They acknowledge the fact that Sydney is lacking places providing people with supper and to unwind with close friends after midnight. This phenomenon has led the management to foresee that an opportunity for such a business exists and may have the potential to attract more of the general public. In doing so, management proposes to refurbish the existing Side Bar into a Supper Club so as to respond to the demand of our target market. This report attempts to gain an insight of what the target market wants out of a Supper Club in terms of type of food served, services, interior design, ambience and brand awareness. Thus, in-depth interviews were conducted as a basis to research the ways Side Bar is able to launch such a Supper Club."
