From the Paper
"People concerned with the amount of knowledge they posses thinks widely on the contributions they can share with the world and the society. These people or individual gives a great impact to the lives of others. Although these people are diverse in character and personality they represent a widespread purpose intended for the common good. Lifelong learners view this process of acquiring expertise through a further education as a responsibility to society withstanding all of its burden and difficulties."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although early mover advantage is often seen as the preferred method of market entry, in e-commerce, late movers can outperform and gain a higher level of trust with customers, by synchronizing all relevant systems through the use of the late mover process framework defined in this dissertation. This research is based on seven major hypotheses relating to a late mover e-commerce strategy. The author describes a multi-phased approach to the research design, based on qualitative research completed through the case study method in addition to the use of statistical analysis on a late mover company's relevant data in terms of transaction volumes and velocities of order management systems specifically. Several figures, tables, and graphs are included with the paper.

From the Paper
"Despite much of the secondary research showing that aggressive pricing is ineffective, this is the most common late market entrant strategy, according to industry experts this is because late movers assume that markets they are entering are much more price elastic than they really are. While in high tech this practice of entering new markets by aggressive pricing strategies sometimes is responded to with bundling (which is a strategic error in the part of early movers protecting market share) the most common defensive strategy is to create more opportunities for customers to participate in the product development process."

Abstract
This paper compiles a learning profile for middle 30s to early 40s. Certain assumptions were made about this age group in order to classify the information gathered. It is assumed that this age group falls into the Generation X, or Thirteenth Generation of the United States, because the ages fall within the age ranges for GenX. It was also determined that this age group is a small portion of the late-boomers, or Baby boomers, due to the ages designated as well. The author discusses interesting facts about this learning population including that they are thought to be dependent on the instructor for direction and motivation, but adult learners are self-directed and self-motivated. This generation benefits from a myriad of teaching methods incorporated from both pedagogical and andragogical areas.
From the Paper
"Learning Activities: Mutual Consent Motivated by external factors such as grade, learning activities should be standardized with uniform progression for all parties involved. ?Learning activities such as internal areas in need of progress the educator needs to create conditions to help the student discover needs, and adapt to change? (Bale 2000) as quoted by Bale."

Late Industrialization and its Consequences, 2004.
Questions whether the theory of 'late industrialization' explains the origins of critical institutional differences between the major economies.

Abstract
There are three major theories, namely Abramovitz, Peter and Soete and Gerschenkron, which try to explain the differences of early and late industrialization. However, this essay only focuses on Gerschenkron's theory as it is his theory which concentrates on the attempt to explain the origins of critical institutional differences between major economies. Furthermore, with the help of this explanation, this essay shows in what ways it might account for variations in national performance. First, this essay presents Gerschenkron's theory. It then shows how his theory can be applied to the practical example of South Korea - which, with major institutional involvement, achieved within only 30 years a giant step from an agricultural country devastated by wars, to one of the major industrial countries in today's world.

From the Paper
"Starting in the late 18th century, Britain was the first country which experienced the process of industrialisation, i.e. the development from an agricultural into a manufacturing based economy (wissen.de, 2003). Britain is therefore referred to as the forerunner and embodiment of 'early industrialisation'. All countries, which started the process of industrialisation after Britain such as Germany, other European countries, Russia and Japan in the 19th century as well as in the 20th century countries from the developing world such as South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore underwent 'late industrialisation' and are referred to as latecomers."

Abstract
The paper gives a brief overview of late-term abortion, its definition and the reasons for this type of abortion. It continues to discuss the physical effects of late-term abortion on both the mother and the fetus. It also expands of the traumatic psychological effects on the mother and her partner post abortion. In conclusion the author of the paper offers an opinion against third-trimester abortion.
From the Paper
"Third-trimester or late-term abortions are usually procedures that take two to three days to complete. The abortion itself is performed on the second or third day once the cervix has dilated wide enough to ensure that the fetus can be safely extracted or expelled. In most cases, fetal demise occurs the first day of laminaria insertion, being "a cone of dried seaweed that swells as it absorbs water and thus dilates the cervix non-traumatically in preparation for induced abortion or induced labor" (Dwyer 89). The drugs that are used during this procedure are digoxin and lidocaine which are inserted directly into the uterus. Once dilation is complete, late-term abortions usually take two to four hours and are performed with IV sedation or a general anesthetic."

Summary
From the Paper
"Compounding the best practices of late movers have in penetrating existing markets often many times dominated still by early movers, pricing and its integration across websites and across order workflows especially is critical. Pricing is in fact the most critical link in the entire systems synchronization and integration strategy that in effect forms a systems level of innovation diffusion across late movers. In fact the level of systems integration across both pricing, order capture, order management, and order fulfillment has a direct influence on the Return on Investment (ROI) that is attained by both fast followers and late movers (Askegar and Columbus 2002). The researchers found that late movers into electronics distribution who relied on the combination of enhanced functionality of applications for online customers that provided more information than competitors, only accessible from internal pricing, supply chain, order management, and fulfillment systems, was a major competitive advantage. An example of this is the use of order status throughout the late mover sites, and its emergence as the most popular online application in the research completed was that despite early movers adopting a transaction standard, RosettaNet, the majority of late movers still relied on Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) as the dominant trading protocol over and above the use of websites' applications. Integration then was found by (Askegar and Columbus 2002) to be a relative indicator of innovation diffusion of late movers who successfully challenged early movers and were able to gain market share."

Buddhism as a Reflection of Late Vedic Society, 2005.
An examination of both the accommodation and reaction of early Buddhist texts to Late Vedic society in India.

Abstract
While Buddhism exists today as a guiding philosophy for people throughout the world, much of the original Buddhist canon was a reaction to the society in which the Buddha lived. The late Vedic period in the Ganges Plain was a time of material wealth and increased urbanization. The paper shows that by reacting to these philosophies, the Buddha sought to infuse an ethical message into the increasingly capitalistic values of the rising urban middle class. In his "Discourses", the Buddha placed the accumulation of capital into a moral system, challenged the legitimacy of caste and urged the laity to perform their social and familial duties as ethically as possible. The paper argues that Buddhism arose as both an accommodation to and rejection of the social and economic conditions of the late Vedic period.
From the Paper
"The Buddhist concept of the purposes of wealth is perhaps the best example of the Buddha's reaction to his society. As already discussed, accumulation of property was seen almost as a duty of the householder. But many people, particularly adherents to heterodox sects, saw that wealth can also lead to idleness and immorality. Realizing that property was crucial to the society in which he lived, the Buddha propounded a theory in which wealth could be used ethically. According to him, property should be used to support oneself, family, and friends, to guard against future misfortune, to assist the community, and to support monks and others who lived by donation."

Abstract
This twelve-page undergraduate paper is a discussion of some of the main social and political developments that took place in Korea over the late Choson period. Every one of the changes was marked by a pattern of reform versus opposition. In part, this is explained by the opposite movements, the first towards enlightenment and the second towards tradition.
From the Paper
"At the beginning of the late Choson dynasty, power was concentrated in royal families so that the peasants became victims of corruption and oppression. The social and political developments during that period very often amounted to real revolutions. The peasants fought against unfair conditions and abuse, and their goals were reform, justice, and most especially equality. These peasants formed armies, and the most striking example was the Tonghak peasant army. The leaders during period were also trying to bring about reforms. Both the peasants and the leaders had to deal with a conflict of ideas."

Abstract
This paper is an evaluation of the legendary 'Robber Barons,' the American capitalists of the late 1800s, and their short and long-term impact on American society. The paper looks at men like Carnegie, Rockefeller and Gould and tries to determine whether they were good or evil men. The author looks at whether their actions caused permanent harm to America, or whether they helped to build the powerful industrial state we live in today.
From the Paper
"Finally, if these men were truly ?robber barons,? I do not think they would have disposed of such vast amounts of their ?stolen? wealth in positive ways through philanthropy. One cannot ignore the endowments and gifts that some of the early capitalists made that continue to benefit many in the world to this day. Carnegie gave away over $350 million for a large variety of projects, almost all of his wealth, before he died. Rockefeller unleashed $550 million, focusing on medical research that resulted in a treatment for meningitis and a vaccine for Yellow Fever. Both men gave freely to educational endeavors. Josephson touches on this in discussing the generosity of the robber barons, but calls the many millions given (billions in today?s money) as attempts to ?extend their sway over the social order? and to control higher education and the freedom of expression (324-325). The fact that a fair number of these men did attempt at times to help their fellow man with their riches, led religious and moral personal lives outside of their businesses, and rose from the same poor stock as the rest of their countrymen needs to be taken into account, and Josephson?s bitter dismissal of their philanthropy ignores the simple fact that more good came from this generosity than bad."

Abstract
In "Where Wizards Stay up Late, the Origins of the Internet", Katie Hafner and Matthew Lyon explore the beginnings of the Internet. The authors show us how it was a computer-engineering firm that produced the original prototypes for "Arpanet" and how several very intelligent men made the Internet possible. The book is excellent in that it brings to the limelight many important people that played an important role in devising the Internet. In other words, therefore, this book is a history as well as a work of drama. It tells a very intriguing story of how the computer technology for the Internet was devised. In many respects, it is very much a "behind-the-scenes" kind of documentary.

Late Adulthood Bereavement, 2006.
A discussion on bereavement focusing on people in their late adulthood.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper begins with a definition of bereavement and grief. Loss of a spouse is rated as the most stressful life event across all ages and cultural backgrounds. The paper continues to explore the myriad of literature on the topic of dealing with grief in late adulthood. In conclusion, it explores the diagnosis, symptoms and treatment of grief.
From the Paper
"At least 10 -20 percent of widows and widowers develop clinically significant depression during the first year of bereavement, and without treatment, such depressions tend to persist, become chronic and lead to further disability and impairments (Older pp). Bereavement-associated depression often coexists with another type of emotional distress, which has been termed traumatic grief, the symptoms of which, although not formalized as a mental disorder in DSM-IV, appear to be a mixture of symptoms of both pathological grief and post-traumatic stress disorder (Older pp). Such symptoms are extremely disabling, associated with functional and health impairment and with persistent suicidal thoughts, and may well respond to pharmacotherapy (Older pp)."

Abstract
This paper examines the so-called evolution of the concept of "juvenile delinquency" in late Victorian England. The object of the paper is to show that the notion of youth crime was considerably altered during this period--and has served as an exemplar of present-day systems.
From the Paper
"The notion that juvenile delinquency in particular and crimes committed by child and adolescents in general were separate from crimes committed by adults is considered a recent construct. In fact it was not until the first half of the the 19th century in England that such a notion first came about. A corollary to this was the idea that these types of crimes and criminals should be treated differently from hardened adult criminals..."
