International Economics: US-Singapore Free Trade Pact
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page paper discussing the likely economic effects of a unilateral free trade agreement between the US and Singapore. There are few if any real detriments to freer trade. Though it can create the need for specific industries and organizations to undergo forced change, that change nearly always is positive when approached in a positive light. The pattern has been repeated many times over the past generation, beginning with Japanese consumer electronics. Though it can create chaos in the short term, it produces only benefits in the long term. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Internet Censorship In China: Past And Present
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. The extent to which Internet censorship has become a requisite part of the entire World Wide Web experience is clearly indicative of the manner by which society's offensive element has found a way to reach its vulnerable audience. That pornography has been cited as the primary search objective on the Internet today speaks to the fact that children and adolescents are among the tremendous number of virtual onlookers visiting these sites every day. China is no stranger to this occurrence, inasmuch as Asian pornography is one of the worlds most popular and sought after commodities. Efforts to censor this decidedly harmful social element have been both significant and laborious; it sometimes seems as though the pornographic Web masters know all the tricks to bypass sophisticated obstacles. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Is China Socialist?
[ send me this essay ]
This 14 page paper considers whether or not China is a socialist country. The paper starts by considering the model of socialism, with specific interest paid to modern socialism as proposed by Karl Marx. The paper applies these ideas to China and the development that has taken place since 1978 and the opening up of the Chinese markets.

J.G. Ballard's "Empire Of The Sun": Jim's Metamorphosis
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Interpretive literature encompasses myriad existential elements that directly relate to character development; indeed, it is not merely a compilation of dates and events, but rather it is an exploration of humanity's spiritual side sometimes gone awry. Such is the case with J.G. Ballard's Empire of the Sun, inasmuch as this literary masterpiece shares the common denominator of achieving self-awareness and wholeness so prevalent in war stories. The very process of living life and expanding one's existence has often been perceived as a rebirth of sorts, with Ballard taking the concept to an infinitely high level of appreciation with Jim, his primary character. By embracing this inherent – and often esoteric – power, the reader is able to grasp a significantly better understanding of Jim's developing self-awareness and wholeness. No additional sources cited.
