Abstract
Canada was not settled at a smooth and gradual rate. Geographical diversity and overwhelming size ensured that the process was a sporadic and impetuous one. This paper will attempt to smooth the uneven demographic expansion of Canada during the 19th century in light of the prevailing economic, political and social patterns and provide insight onto its occurrence.

Abstract
This paper discusses the economic and social conditions in Canada during the 19th and 20th centuries that impacted and altered the definitions of Reform and Orthodox Jewry in that country.
From the Paper
"The definitions of Reform and Orthodox Judaism is difficult to discern even in the most transparent circumstances, as in the emergence of Reform Judaism as a means for the Jewish community to better connect with the gentile communities within the surrounding regions in Europe. However, the immigration of Judaism to Canada in the 19th and 20th centuries created conditions in which all Judaism was to some degree altered significantly by the social, economic, and political circumstances in which the events occurred, therefore suggesting that no engagement in traditional Jewish traditions could be perceived as typically Orthodox in nature; conversely, reform was so pervasive in all forms of Judaism that it no longer could be considered to be in keeping with the Reform movement as a whole."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the Westward Expansion and its economic growth, demographic expansion and the controversial political climate that led to sectionalism. The paper then shows how the conflicting interests of the South and the North were not truly resolved, since the Missouri compromise of 1820 did not address rising political and social conflicts which ultimately led the nation to the Civil War.
Outline:
Introduction
The Beginning of the Expansion
The Public Motivation
Sectionalism
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The period of our history known as the Westward Expansion was marked by economic growth, demographic expansion and a controversial political climate that led to sectionalism. The opening of the west frontier began in the early 19th century and another new frontier was ready to be discovered, explored and benefited from. The original 13 colonies were rapidly becoming too small for the ever-growing number of immigrants and fortune-seekers. The new opportunities were growing short contrary to the numbers of people seeking them. The new-comers brought ideas, technology and plenty of motivation to acquire open land, available resources and opportunities for profits. The west frontier promised all of that and more."

From the Paper
"At the end of the Revolution, the new United States was confined largely to what would now be called the Eastern seaboard. What was then the Western frontier began within a few hundred miles of the East Coast. The interior of North America was, for the most part, an unexplored wilderness, at least to the people who were starting to call themselves Americans..."

Business Requirements
Technology Project Plan

Application of Change Models
Recommendations for Change
Systems Thinking and Change Management
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Riordan's expansion into the Canadian market should be resoundingly approved by both its board of directors and its shareholders although the latter is not necessary. This strategy is more than just an attempt to gain cost efficiencies across markets but an attempt to enter a new market altogether and provide for long-term, future growth opportunities that would otherwise not be present. In this sense, Riordan's suggested expansion into the Canadian market should not be viewed as a risk inherent endeavor but rather as an opportunity loaded strategy with little downside. Research indicates that break-even is essentially a foregone conclusion between 3-5 years and everything afterwards can be considered profit generation as long as overhead is met."

Abstract
The paper discusses two primary reasons why Riordan should approve the proposal of expansion into Canada, as well as two reservations that the company should consider. The paper stresses that the research and planning phase is the most critical aspect of project management and Riordan must spare no expense or effort in fully exploring its options.
Outline:
Proposal Overview
Riordan Overview
Reasons for Acceptance
Reasons for Further Research
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Following in depth research relating to two different markets: Canada and Mali, the project team has decided that the Canadian market is a much safer risk than Mali. As previous researchers have noted, the Mali market is extremely impoverished and simply lacks the depth and breadth of infrastructure required to support a sophisticated manufacturing industry such as Riordan would require (Velton, 2004). Conversely, the Canadian market is a first world economy and is fully developed in terms of infrastructure and services that Riordan would require in its daily operations. Yet, one of the most promising attributes of locating Riordan's expansion operations in the Canadian market is its membership in the North American Free Trade Association (NAFTA) which virtually assures ready access back into the U.S. of those products manufactured in Canada as well as facilitating possible expansion into the Mexican market in the future."

Abstract
This paper is a research into the current trends in HIV and AIDS in America, with the main focus on the demographics of people who are newly infected with the disease. Areas that are discussed include infection rates among various racial and age groups. The author also focuses on the growing sexual subculture with gay and bisexual minorities called the 'down low', which is changing the face of HIV and AIDS as many unsuspecting women are now getting HIV and AIDS from their husbands and boyfriends. Statistics are also provided to reinforce the fact that HIV and AIDS is changing its demographic path. Suggestions are also provided to help eliminate this impeding HIV and AIDS crisis.
From the Paper
"HIV and AIDS have also increased in the Latino population. Approximately 40,000 people are infected with the HIV virus each year in the United States. 19 percent of these new cases are Latinos, even though they only comprise 13 percent of the population. HIV is the fourth leading cause of death for Latinos aged 25 to 44 in 2002. One factor that plays a role in this increase is that many people in the Latino community are in the United States illegally and are afraid to come forward for treatment and testing for fear of deportation. As a result of this fear, they are not as informed of the preventative measures that need to be taken to avoid being infected with HIV and AIDS. Another reason for this increase is the number of Latino men who are in prison and engaging in risky sexual activity while behind bars. They in turn infect their girlfriends or wives when they are released from prison. (Smith, 2004)."

Cost-Benefit Analysis of Expansion, 2002.
Examination of how the geographic expansion in the West had more costs than benefits and a comparison of this to the expansion of the East.

Abstract
This paper discusses economic and geographic expansion during the Gilded Age and how it shaped America into what it is today. It also examines the issue of western expansion and the role it played, along with the annexing of the Native Americans of the land. Shows how the expansion on both sides brought with them stronger job markets.
From the Paper
"The economic and geographic expansion of the United States during the Gilded Age was one of the defining events that shaped the country into what it is today. By examining the geographic expansion in the west, analyzing its costs and benefits, and then looking at the economic expansion in the east and analyzing its costs and benefits, it can be seen that the cost of expansion outweighed any benefits which may have been accrued, and that the Progressive response, while a step in the right direction, was not enough. On a scale of one (cost) to ten (benefit), expansion can receive nothing higher than a four."

?European Expansion and the Civilization of Modernity?, 2004.
An analysis of traditional and modern societies during the European expansion, through a review of ?European Expansion and the Civilization of Modernity? written by S. N. Elsenstadt.

Abstract
This paper examines modernism in Europe and the rise of socialism in non-Western societies. The paper reviews S. N. Elsenstadt's ?European Expansion and the Civilization of Modernity? and discusses Elsenstadt?s arguments regarding the changes in the European expansion in non-Western societies, from being modernist to socialist, even traditionalist, societies. The paper argues that the retardation of modernism in non-Western societies is not exactly the abrupt stoppage of the European expansion.
From the Paper
"?European expansion and the civilization of modernity? by S. N. Elsenstadt provides a through discussion and analysis of the dynamics concerning the European expansion, centering in particular on its effects in non-Western or Asian societies. Tracing the history of the European expansion from the emergence of industrialization to the development of capitalism in Western societies, the author seeks to determine what caused the seemingly contradicting development of the so-called ?expansionist? movement of modernization in Europe. That is, instead of spreading modernization and capitalism in Asian societies, what occurred was the rise of socialism, which is a new form of society that overturns the basic premises of capitalism-in effect, modernization."

Imperial Expansion in Africa, 2002.
A look at the economic impact of the imperial expansion into Africa.

Abstract
This paper is on "Imperial Expansion in Africa". It argues against the statement, which is "The great outburst of imperial expansion at the end of the 19th century was the product of great power rivalry and not of economic necessity", this statement has been disparate because the economics had everything to do with the expansion of empires into Africa, not power. It analyzes the topic with evidence and explores whether the historians used original material or have they rehashed things from other writers?

Demographic Transition, 2006.
This paper compares the demographic transitions of Japan, China, India and Africa and its effect on economic growth with specific reference to India.

Abstract
This paper explains that, from the beginning of 21st century, the Demographic Transition Model, which uses population age structure, has become a more important factor than the traditional use of total population. The author points out that demographic transitions have significant impact on the age-distribution of the populations of the countries. Four ratios are important to this measurement: (i) Child Dependency Ratio; (ii) Old Dependency Ratio; (iii) Overall Dependency ratio and (iv) Ratio of Working Age Population to non-working-age population (between 15 & 64 years of age). The paper states that the quality of the working age population is more important than the sheer numbers; hence, without substantial achievement in the areas of health and education, the quality of the working-age population may decline and consequently, the growth will be adversely affected despite having larger proportion of working age population. Many Charts and Tables.

From the Paper
"By shifting the age-structure of a population, a country's demographic transition can contribute to significant changes in its economy. Those changes occur because people's economic behavior -savings and investment- tends to vary predictably over their life-times . This is also called life-cycle theory model. Once age structure dynamics are introduced into an economic growth model, the countries obey the common principles of economic growth . These so called 'predictable ways' of shift in economic behavior have already been summarized in the beginning of the paper too (Page 3). Let us summarize the same. Let us assume that we have an economy that is growing at 2 or 3% per year. Let us call it the steady-state growth. The demographic burden transition creates a youth demographic burden initially. That baby boom drags down measured economic growth a bit, but when they reach the working-age, we have the accounting and behavioral effects-more savers and more workers and also higher labor force participation rates and more people earning to save because they think that they have to live longer. That leads to a bump in economic growth. But this bump abates when people reach older age."

From the Paper
"Furthermore, the family is the social institution that "continues to provide most care and supportive services to their older members." (Informal Caregiving) Family structures in society are estimated to account for about 80 percent of all elderly care in industrialized societies. (Informal Caregiving) This form of care can include short term care after illness or surgery as well as long term assistance when an elderly person is disabled or ill for long periods of time. The type of essential care that family members provide includes "...direct services (grocery shopping, transportation to doctors), the purchase of services (housecleaning, nursing services) and the management of services (coordinating and overseeing medical/rehabilitative care) as well as emotional and social support." (Informal Caregiving)"

The Clinton Administration and NATO Expansion, 2001.
A look at the Clinton Administration's involvement with the NATO expansion.

Abstract
This paper discusses the Clinton administration?s political, strategic and ideological motivations for supporting NATO expansion and whether the future of NATO will be as a collective defense pact or as a vehicle for democratic expansion.
From the paper:
"On March 16, 1999, the flags of the first three ex-communist countries to gain admission to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ? Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic ? were hoisted above NATO headquarters in Brussels, marking the final act in the first stage of NATO expansion. Fifty years after its creation, with former Warsaw Pact members joining what began as an anti-Soviet alliance, NATO?s original purpose of keeping ?the Americans in, the Russians out, and the Germans down? seems to no longer apply. The Russians no longer possess the ability (and some would argue the desire) to realistically threaten European security. With growing assertiveness in European affairs, the Germans are not ?down,? but their increased role in politics, economics, and security of Europe does not inspire the panic it would have so soon after World War II when the alliance was formed."

Roman Expansion, 2005.

Abstract
This fourteen page paper analyzes Roman expansion. It discusses the political, military, geographical and economic factors that led to the expansion of Rome. The paper also discusses the Roman view that they fought only just wars and their claim that it was only Rome's need to defend itself from threats on all sides that led to expansion and ultimately to imperial domination.
From the Paper
"Roman Expansion: An Analysis of Political, Military, and Economic Motives Beginning with the founding of Rome around 758 BCE, the expansion of Roman power was due to a variety of political, military, geographical, and economic factors. Polybius believed that after their defeat of Hannibal and Carthage, the Romans resolved to assert their domination throughout the Mediterranean. This identified motive for Roman expansion conflicts with the Roman view that they fought only just wars, and claim that it was only Rome's need to defend itself from threats on all sides that led to expansion and ultimately to imperial domination. Many historians have offered other causes and motives for Roman expansion, such as a desire to profit from conquest, an interest in commercial expansion, imperial ambition, martial prestige, and the economics of slavery."

Horizontal Expansion in Business, 2004.
Examines the effectiveness of the concept of horizontal expansion on contemporary businesses.
1,656 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 5 sources, APA, AU$ 86.95
»

Abstract
Horizontal expansion is a process through which companies acquire or develop businesses engaged in the same stage of marketing or distribution. This paper examines the impact of horizontal expansion on companies to see whether it is an effective strategy for firms seeking expansion. The paper identifies the effectiveness and limitations of this strategy.
From the Paper
"Up until recently, the traditional theory of industrial organization has remained the mainstream approach in analyzing corporate integration. David A. Besanko, David Dranove and Mark Shanley (2000), explain that the benefits of horizontal integration are in economies of scale when a merger takes place between firms producing the same kinds of products, and in synergies such as economies of scope in case of a merger between firms whose products have little or nothing in common with each other."
