Vietnam: A Brief History
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Vietnam has long struggled against the unwanted influence of various nationals; without adequate ability to defend themselves, the Vietnamese have grappled to uphold their very cultural importance, as well as defend their right as an independent people. This long and arduous process served to develop traditions and establish historical benchmarks that have identified Vietnam as a defiant cultural and political entity. No bibliography.

Vietnam: Fight For Freedom
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. The United States has never been too subtle when it comes to asserting its self-proclaimed political and military prowess, which is partially – if not significantly – to blame for the dissension that existed between America and Vietnam. Clearly, the Vietnam War did not represent a significantly popular time in United States history, inasmuch as American involvement proved to divide an already agitated nation. The only reason the United States was influential over the enemy was due to military strength, rather than upholding a political appreciation of the war. No bibliography.

Vietnamese Refugees in Southeast Asia
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses Vietnamese refugees in other Southeast Asia nations. As refugees fled from Vietnam, many found themselves lost in the bureaucratic red tape of being displaced persons. Others made it safely to other nations where either family members and/or a new start awaited them. Others remained in Southeast Asia but in worlds that were far removed from their homeland. Vietnamese refugees who expected to be able to make their way and begin new lives in other Southeast Asian nations have often encountered far more difficult situations than those experienced by their friends and relatives who made their way to Europe or North America. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Vipassana Meditation
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page paper exploring the method and history of Vipassana meditation, and then comparing it to other forms of Buddhism-linked meditation techniques. Sensation-based Vipassana therefore leads the meditator to the place where sensations – such as negativity – can be dealt with right away, having been recognized for what they are. Thus the Vipassana practitioner "sees things as they are," rather than as they appear. Seeing things for what they are enables the individual to make an active choice of whether to accept or reject the thoughts and sensations that enter his mind, thereby giving the Vipassana meditator control over his own mind. Bibliography lists 17 sources.

What Should Japan do Now?
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page paper discussing the impasse at which Peru and Japan have arrived concerning extradition of Peru’s former president Fujimori, who Peru has charged with gross corruption and crimes against humanity. Fujimori was born in Peru of parents who had immigrated from Japan. They registered his birth, resulting in dual citizenship. Japan refuses to extradite based on Fujimori’s citizenship status plus the fact that it has no extradition treaty with Peru. The paper reviews the significance of the issue, the various arguments from both sides and provides a list of possible alternatives, including deferring to an international mediator for resolution. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

When Corruption is Cultural Practice
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page paper discussing the improvements in corruption in China over the past decade and the emergence of newer concerns. Whereas corruption was of greater concern in the past, that issue slowly fades as new concerns over intellectual property intensify. The paper discusses General Motors’ experience in loss of an intellectual property lawsuit in China, concluding that China does present immense opportunity for those MNEs able to set and maintain their own course, rather than yield to the temptation to “go with the flow.” GM’s experiences provide lessons for others, which include dedication to purposeful ethical behavior. The business environment in China has improved in some areas over the past decade; MNEs can expect those improvements to continue. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
