Abstract
This paper looks at the social, cultural and economic effects of the Internet on society in this day and age.
From the Paper
"Technological changes always cause major changes in both technological development and the societies in which they are created. For example, in The Internet Edge Mark Stefik states, ...Vivid examples form the history of the past two Hundred years include canals, railroads, automobiles and interstate highways, aviation, the telegraph, telephones, radio, television, and communication satellites-all technologies of connection that radically improved means of transportation and communication. These technologies shrink distance and bring together people of different communities and cultures (Stefik 3). The fact that many of these communication and transportation technologies have decreased the distances between people has meant that societies are becoming far more integrated".

However, the rise of fascism and the Great Depression put World War II in different contexts. The scale of destruction is greater in World War II, but major changes in Western ideas emerged from the destruction of World War I.

You have an idea for an informative and interactive 'site,' as well as a newly registered domain. You have the perfect trademark and graphic arts to go with the content of the site.

"Ironic as it may sound, though the term ?terrorism? is widely known as one that describes the actions of perpetrators, on the other hand it describes the actions of ?freedom fighters? against oppressors. The ?Jehadis? (freedom fighters) say that they do not have an army to counter the injustice that is taking place in Palestine, Kashmir, Bosnia, Myanmar, Eritrea, etc., so they have organized themselves in groups all over the world. In this way, they can attack U S setups as and when they get the opportunities, and their ultimate aim is to weaken America by doing so (Esposito, 1999)."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in their haste to introduce market reforms and efficiencies into their antiquated agricultural systems, many emerging nations have sacrificed their environment and citizens' health in exchange for some well-intentioned but misguided short-term gains in productivity. The author points out that past agricultural practices were based on tradition and spiritual concepts; however, many emerging nations have succeeded in overcoming these constraints through innovative policies and initiatives. The paper stresses that modern western agricultural practices rely heavily on heavy and expensive equipment as well as industrial pesticides and fertilizers to wrench continued high yields from the soil are not readily transferable to many emerging nations.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Within rural sociology, sustainable agriculture is frequently considered to be a mutually exclusive "competing paradigm" that challenges conventional agriculture on environmental, economic and ideological grounds. As a result, much of the research on identifying sustainable agricultural practices has been focused on understanding the characteristics which differentiate conventional and alternative farmers, as well as the conditions that serve to constrain or facilitate the development of alternative practices and ways of thinking among farmers and agriculture more generally. For example, researchers have examined a variety of farmer and farm attributes such as age, education, orientation to risk, perception of environmental problems, farm size, and profitability; the impact of agricultural markets and prices and state policies, programs and services have also been examined extensively."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the history of China's national economy, based on the perspective of PT Bauer's theory of economic attainment and achievement. It then goes on to review and discuss China's current economic situation focusing on China's emerging markets and transitional economic position. The paper further discusses the role of the Bank of China in this economy.
From the Paper
"Today, in China, the state has managed to change its policies in providing funding to various state-owned enterprises, from appropriations to loans, and this has had the result that the original free appropriation relationship that existed between state-owned enterprises and banks broke completely. This in turn meant that they were replaced by credit relations on commercial terms, and this means that loans for the domestic banks would serve as the most important channels and the main marks for the marketization of capital in China. The proportion taken up by domestic loans therefore may be partially used to measure the marketization of the capital of China. Upon an intensive study, it was revealed that the loans for the state policy banks, witnessed from either the absolute quantity or the relative quantity, showed a reducing trend since 1997. This also means that while there has been a sharp growth in the loans from commercial banks, which attained 92 percent in 2001, they also occupied an absolutely dominating position. This means a remarkably high degree of marketization of capital in China. Therefore, it can be stated that marketization in China has today reached much higher levels than ever before.

Abstract
This paper examines how there is one mass medium which has given the individual so much power that it has raised the ire of the major producers of entertainment content: The internet. It essentially attempts to illustrate the power of the internet as a tool of mass-communications which is accessible to all, unlike all previous forms of mass-media. It analyzes its impact on democracy and discusses such issues as file sharing.
From the Paper
"When originally started in the late 70s, the internet was intended as a decentralized network of communication so that the US government would still be able to exchange data in the event of nuclear attack on large cities . Mark Poster?s work, Cyberdemocracy states, ?The Internet is above all a decentralized communication system. Like the telephone network, anyone hooked up to the internet may initiate a call, send a message that he or she has composed, and do so in the manner of the broadcast system, that is to say, may send a message to many receivers.? This, in and of itself, becomes a threat to the Mass Media?s monopoly over audiencehood."

Abstract
This paper discusses the book "The Emerging Democratic Majority," by John Judis and Ruy Teixeira. The book's authors argue that the Democratic Party is destined to be the majority due to minority groups' rise in demographic terms. The paper's author argues against this belief, stating that political belief crosses many spectra, rather than solely through minorities.
From the Paper
There can be little doubt that today's political landscape is buffeted by many cross-currents, but increasingly it does seem to be the case that the Republican Party speaks in the name of universal causes, while the Democrats raise minority rights or self-interest. This reverses the relation between the parties from just forty years ago when a provincial Republican Party proclaiming the virtue of diversity faced off against a nationalist Democratic Party; however, it also represents a return to the parties' respective positions through much of their histories.

Abstract
This paper explores some of the most significant new technologies in the context of their importance and significance to aspects of the human life and experience. The paper looks at personal area networks (PANs) and body area networks (BANs), multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) technology, which will enhance Wi-Fi performance, and mind-reading computers and robots. The paper notes, however, that we are still lacking concrete and accepted standards and software that will allow the process of integration and convergence between different devices to take place.
Outline:
Personal Area Networks
MIMO
Ubiquitous Computing, XML and Middleware
Mind-Reading Computers
Robotics
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In this regard there are a number of technological innovations that relate to the move towards the concept of a ubiquitous communications environment. This is particularly the case with regard to the new range of technologies relating to mobile computing. There is an increasing convergence between mobile technologies and the concept of ubiquitous computing. This implies that there need to be advances in wireless network technology and devices as well as "...development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, and discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services.""

Abstract
The globalization of production refers to the tendency among firms to source goods from countries around the world to take advantage of national differences in the cost and quality of factors of production. Many companies are choosing to expand business globally. Before companies choose a region for expansion, adequate research needs to be conducted in order to determine the risk involved. This paper discusses the emergence of Vietnam as a market, analyzes the role of regional integration, compares and contrasts the economic development stages of countries within this region, and examines the effect of its economic development for global business. The major drivers of globalization in this region are also explained.
From the Paper
"Vietnam is located in Southeast Asia. It borders the Gulf of Thailand, Gulf of Tonkin, and South China Sea, alongside China, Laos, and Cambodia (cia.gov). Its population is just over 81 million, with natural resources of phosphates, coal, manganese, bauxite, chromate, offshore oil and gas deposits, forests, and hydropower (cia.gov). Vietnam has been slowly recovering economically. After the Vietnam War, the country was left in devastation. Vietnam?s government is based on communist legal theory and French civil law system."

Abstract
This paper discusses that the United States, as the lone superpower in the world today, has major impacts on international economics, politics and culture. In this article, the writer looks at the conditions in the United States in the 19th Century that lead to its major geopolitical status in the 20th Century. It is basically argued that the conditions were a continental size economy of scale and the ideology of the expanding frontier.
From the Paper
"Moving from a peripheral to a central position within the world geopolitical order, the United States brought to that position its own unique ethos. American economic predominance at the end of the Second World war allowed the successful projection of the American ethos and its actual agents beyond American shores. This statement indicates that the United States had a major impact on international economics, politics and culture."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the history of emergency law in Egypt and how it has been used by almost every government in the last 60 years to deny the Egyptian people the right to freedom of speech and the right to form opposing political parties. The paper asserts that Egypt, in order to become a true democracy, as it claims it is, must eliminate emergency law so that the people of Egypt can truly practice the rights a democratic society is supposed to guarantee.
From the Paper
"Egypt may appear a calm country, not threatened by revolution, political instability or a rebellious population. However, the Egyptian government thinks otherwise. It apparently views the Egyptian people as rebellious, revolutionary and if given their right to freedom of expression, would drive the country to political instability. Therefore, a state of emergency exists in Egypt. Actually, as "Reading the Hieroglyphic" remarks "for all but eight of the past 61 years" Egypt has been under emergency law. Government after government and one political system after another has prevented Egyptians from the right to freedom of speech. Despite this, Egypt is said to be a democratic country. However, the fundamental elements of democracy is freedom of speech or expression and also allowing formation of opposing political parties. The 'democratic' Egyptian government is threatened by these elements as opposition may weaken its status and power. This law prevents freedom of speech and establishment of opposing parties, therefore, the government is using this law as a tool to grant it the upper hand and no one will even verbally criticize its actions. Although the government claims that the emergency law is a security measure for the benefit of the people, with reference to its history and the way it is being used proves that the purpose of this law is to maximize the power of the government to the extent that it can oppress the people and prevent any opposition; and consequently inhibit democracy. The emergency law is stifling democracy and development in Egypt."

" Financial Benefits of Analyzing Emerging Technology
Argument
There is one primary question most business executives ask when considering the adoption of emerging technology: what kind of economic return will I get in proportion to the expenditure? That question is of paramount concern to businesses ranging from sole proprietorships to Multi-National Corporations (Rheingold, 1994, 32-28). Answering that question has given rise to a new profession -- technology managers, or TMs (Chesbrough & Teece, 1996, 68).
In a commercial situation, TMs are responsible, as a rule, for five main areas: a) keeping upper management informed about new technologies that might improve profitability, b) keeping all.."
