Conclusion
From the Paper
"In general, the legal view is that insider trading prevails while a person has "material, nonpublic information" regarding a security or its issuer and buys or sells that security. The SEC has specified that an individual with such inside information has to move away from trading in the securities of the company or correctly reveal what he or she knows even before buying or selling them. Those who violate these rules are subject to civil penalties of about three times the illegal profits which are being gained or losses prevented by the insider trading in addition to criminal penalties. Criminal penalties for individuals may mean a fine of as about $5 million, prison as long as 20 years or even both. Courts have also allowed injured private parties to sue for the purpose of damages. (Ivancevich; Jones; Keaveney, 2002) Thus the penalties or risks are now pretty severe."

The re-evaluation of the rules of the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) is explored and the changes in it?s make-up are mentioned. The paper concludes by studying the damaging effects of insider trading.

Martha Stewart is the latest celebrity or well known figure to move to the forefront of publicity regarding insider trading. Because she is one who is usually regarded as the housewife?s mentor the accusations that surround her have shocked the nation."

Abstract
This paper briefly examines the history of insider trading from a criminal standpoint, but focuses mainly on contemporary issues in terms of existing legal codes, as well as codes put forth by the SEC, and the way these rules and regulations have changed in the past few years. The contemporary nature of the report is also heightened by the current mass-media fixation on the issue of insider trading, which is also explored through examples, including that of Eri I. Tsao, Martha Stewart, and other case histories that center around criminal justice?s handling of insider trading cases. Changes in the system are discussed mainly as they are related to the SEC and criminal law.
From the Paper
"In the case of Tsao, a leading research scientist at Medlmmune, the criminal activity which took place involved using insider information to buy and sell stock for a profit. ?The SEC said Eric I. Tsao, a vice president at the Gaithersburg company, bought stock in three biotechnology companies soon after learning Medlmmune was close to completing business deals with each of them? (Barbaro, E1). Using this information, which had not been released to the public, to his own advantage, caused Tsao to be indicted on charges of insider trading. The biotechnology companies were supposed to have business deals with Medlmmune, which caused their stocks to go up after the deals were completed, earning Tsao a considerable profit of over one-hundred thousand dollars. Tsao?s case deals with the somewhat blurry line between criminal and civil suits, and thus should not be dwelt upon too extensively. His case represents criminal behavior, most definitely, but the suit filed against him by the SEC was not based on criminal charges, but rather, civil ones."

Abstract
This paper defines insider dealing and the types of activities that are involved in this particular type of trading. The author examines arguments in favor of regulations restricting and prohibiting insider dealing, as well as reasons for why legislation should be abolished and trading permitted.
From the Paper
"In determining the appropriate legislative responses to deal with insider trading, it is necessary to understand what is constitutes and its effect, both negative and positive, on the securities market. Insider trading occurs when a person who possesses non-public information trades in the security market or communicates such information to others who trade. The person using this information violates insider trading laws if they owe a responsibility of confidentiality and trust not to use the information. People who are tipped off by an insider can also be prosecuted for insider trading. The key idea about insider trading is that it provides the market with information. Those who trade with inside knowledge sell at higher prices and buy at lower prices, resulting in corporate insiders earning abnormal profits."

From the Paper
"On Wall Street, or in any active financial market, the most valuable commodity is information. The value of a company, as expressed by the price of its stock, is at any given moment a fixed quantity. For the holder or trader of a stock, the relevant question, the source of profit, is what the price of the stock will be tommorrow, or next year, or five minutes from now. Correctly predicting the answer to this question is a matter of information. Thus, stock traders are continually interested in obtaining information, or in determining whether the information they have is correct.
Over the long term, the sort of information that matters most is available to anyone willing to do the necessary research, and equipped to make good judgments on that information. Is, for example, a given computer software firm going to be more valuable..."

Abstract
The textual analysis of the TV series "Trading Spaces" explores the possibility of interchanging gender roles in this home improvement showcase. A strong case is built on the unchanging male hegemony. However, the paper shows that the series does focus, in a particular way, on issues of gender and power, and especially on the supposedly changing nature of masculinity. Provides limitless examples from the show to exemplify gendered television.
From the Paper
"Since its launch in September 2000 as a late-afternoon show, Trading Spaces has regularly scored a 2 or 3 household rating in its universe in prime time, according to Neilson Media Research data, peaking one Saturday evening in April at a 3:2 for an episode featuring the Dixie Chicks. With that all-time household record for TLC, Trading Spaces also beat out all broadcast networks in delivery of adults 18-49 that night (the network regularly ranks in the top 10 of all cable networks in delivery of adults 18-49 and adults 25-54). By the conclusion of its third season, Trading Spaces will have taped 65 new episodes compared to last season?s 40, and can be seen in 70 million homes in America, and internationally in Canada, Japan, Australia, Thailand, and the Philippines (Foege)."

Free Trade vs. Managed Trade, 2002.
A comparison of free trade to managed trade in today's global economy.
1,275 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 5 sources, MLA, £ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper compares the values of free trade to managed trade. It begins by defining trade and identifying the ideal trade. The paper argues that free trade is the best policy to increase prosperity and equality in a capitalist society. It describes managed trade as the current situation, as tariffs and trade policy try to create fair grounds for commerce between two nations, as seen through the example of Japan and the United States. The writer states that protectionist policies, as used in managed trade, have been the anthem of the past and have led to war and conflict.
From the Paper
"Trade is the exchange of goods and services between two countries. In order for trade to be successful, both sides must perceive that they benefit from the exchange, or the trade will not take place. In a perfect world, both parties go away from the trade happy that they have ridded themselves of something of which they have surplus, and gained something of value to them. However, in the real world, this does not happen all of the time and one party or the other walks away feeling ?cheated.?

Abstract
This paper critiques an article about the use of marijuana by American high school seniors, entitled "The Contingent Effects of Risk Perception on Risk-Taking Behavior: Adolescent Participative Orientation and Marijuana Use". The paper first explains that the authors of the report see marijuana use as an example of risk-taking behavior, and presume that a reduction in marijuana use would mean that the perception of risk has increased and that this is leading to a lower rate of use. The paper then goes on to summarize the report and explain its findings.
From the Paper
"The authors find that risk perception by itself accounts for about 21% of the variation in risk-taking behavior of marijuana use. Using the four participative orientations - sports, fun, school, and creative - the explained variance of marijuana use was increased to 33%, and all activity orientations except creative significantly affected marijuana use. Sports and school showed relatively small negative effects, while fun activities had a distinctively large and positive effect on marijuana use. The authors also find after analysis that the net effect of risk perception on marijuana use was statistically insignificant. "

Free Trade/ Fair Trade, 2007.
An argumentative essay on the benefits of fair trade over free trade.
2,280 words (approx. 9.1 pages), 2 sources, MLA, £ 49.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper describes how those that promote free trade claim that overall production and profit is the highest good, and define efficiency and success as the ability to produce great quantities and great profit with a business. Those in support of fair trade, however, point out that productivity itself is not a good, but is only useful inasmuch as it improves the lives of the mass of people. The paper examines whether
countries should be allowed to protect their industries with tariffs or control them with regulations, despite the concerns or desires of other countries.
From the Paper
"Of these two arguments, Morris' is by far the most convincing, in part because he is far more holistic in his analysis of the situation. Irwin focuses primarily on the over-all financial gains for nations, but does not specify who those gains go to. Though he seems to believe that an overall per capita increase in national product will raise national standards of living, he seldom produces evidence to this effect and does not take into consideration that what may be true for one nation, such as Japan, would not be true for another nation which was emerging from a long history of serious economic depression (such as former colonies). Moreover, he seems to confuse personal well being with the well being of the international money market."

Abstract
This paper defines risk management and assessment and discusses their importance to corporations and the public. The paper then focuses on effective risk management tools. It describes three websites and discusses their understanding of risk management. The paper also discusses specific websites that do not display a thorough understanding of risk management and assessment.
From the Paper
"Risk management needs to be understood from a variety of angles. Firstly, risk should be defined for its nature and effect upon not only the company, but also all possible stakeholders. Risk management procedures exist to protect both the workplace, the workforce, or the public. Risk to the corporation is anything endangering the vision, mission and profitability of the company. Secondly, risk to the workforce entails those risks that may result in injury or death to the employee, or that may lead to health or other physical hazards. Employees may also incur risks from non-physical sources such as long work hours or a highly stressful job situation, which could be brought about by a variety of factors. Thirdly, risks can also be posed to the public, in terms of health, safety and financial well-being. A gas company may for example risk the health of the surrounding population by exceeding legally allowed gas emissions."
