Abstract
This paper discusses Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species" and "The Descent of Man" and Karl Marx's contrasting view presented in "The Communist Manifesto". The author points out their different views and their meanings in terms of influence upon the ideas of others and in economic thought. Related concepts, Social Darwinism; socialism/communism."
From the Paper
"Charles Darwin (1809-1882) and Karl Marx (1818-1883) ventured theories that were oppositional with regard to how a society's economic life should be organized, and as would prove true of many of their respective followers, more than a century after their works appeared. Darwin seems not to been keenly interested in the political and economic system within which he lived, as an educated Briton able to obtain much from his society, and to view it, too, in relation to other powers of his day that did not afford as much to the many."

Abstract
The paper shows that at the heart of the political theory of conservatism lie two theories that are becoming less popular in modern western society - 'organic society', and 'tradition'. This essay explains the roots, theories, and beliefs behind these ideas, as well as their connection to conservatism.
From the Paper
"?Organic society? denotes several things. At the centre of it lies a theory of human nature that reflects people as dependent and insecure. They urgently need to belong to a certain group, in order to feel nurtured, and to add meaning to their existence. These groups are varied, but all ultimately perform the same task ? they include family, friends, work-mates, local community or even the nation. This contradicts the theory of ?negative freedom?, which denotes that individuals should be separated or at least protected from some of these groups, and left on their own. In context with this definition, one can see freedom as a ?willingness to accept social obligations and ties by individuals who recognize their value? . An example of this is a child?s willingness to obey his parent ? this is not a constraint of the child?s freedom but rather a tool by which it can learn from its parent. Therefore, society is formed through a natural instinct to belong. Indeed, at the base of it lies the family, which is the epitome of the society as a whole. The family develops out of the simple need to bear and bring up children, and members of it simply grow up within it and are guided by it (they do not sign any contract). It is maintained by natural impulses such as love, caring, and responsibility and holds the elements that protect and define the organic society as a whole."

Abstract
The role of women in the home and in the workplace began to change in the Twentieth Century. Women began entering the workforce in greater numbers, with the result that accepted roles in both families and organizations faced significant upheaval. The paper shows that the level of upheaval, however, is borne primarily by women, who remain burdened with the expectation that they will assume the primary responsibility for family duties, while conforming to male-dominated organizational behaviors. Despite significant gains made by women toward equality in both the workplace and the home over the past 30 years, many inequalities still exist, including wage issues, dress and deportment expectations, etc. These similarities and differences in gender and stereotypes are presented in the paper, with examples being taken from the movie, ?One Fine Day?.
From the Paper
"The one stereotype that is shared by both Melanie and Jack is that work will always take priority over family in a crunch. For both characters, each must address a critical work situation in one day while finding alternate arrangements for their respective children. At no point do either indicate that an option exists, and both comment that they will be fired if they don?t keep their respective work commitments. The underlying message is that work in America is more important than children, and this unfortunate workplace reality is shared by both men and women."

An examination of sociological and anthropological theories stating the concept of society being considered an organization.

Abstract
This paper explains that social organization is the result of the interplay between interpersonal relationships, language, behavior, and societal norms. It looks at how social organization arises from interactions and human relationships. Society and culture are more the products of social factors than environmental ones. The writer concludes that the manner in which humans interact and organize their life is contingent upon their relationships.
From the Paper
"Regardless of ones philosophy of culture or definition of society, one must acknowledge that man is ever changing and a creature that requires interaction and formation of complex relationships to survive. Society evolves in part as a result of the social interactions and relationships that man creates and forms during the course of a lifetime. Social organizations occur likewise as a result of human interaction and the means by which individuals within a given society organize their lives and establish some sort of order."

Abstract
This paper looks at the World Trade Organization, or WTO and debates whether or not the WTO has a positive effect on the world. The author takes the position that one needs a place to take disputes and set regulations for the international economy.
From the Paper
"The World Trade Organization, which was created in 1995, was the biggest reform of international trade since 1948. During the previous years, international commerce had been organized under GATT, which established a multilateral trading system. However, by the 1980s major restructuring was needed. The Uruguay Round brought about that overhaul. It was the largest trade negotiation ever."

Abstract
This paper attempts to estimate what the real total economic cost of the Vietnam War was to the United States. The paper concludes that a reasonable estimate of the economic impact of the Vietnam War on the American economy is that an entire year's worth of productive activity was used to fight the war.
From the Paper
"The Vietnam War was the defining experience for a generation of Americans. Indeed, it is arguably one of the defining experiences of America as a whole in the Twentieth Century. Its impact on the men who fought there, the men (and women) who did not, the American military in general, American society and popular culture during and following the war has been well documented. However, it was not just a life changing experience for soldiers and protestors, or a force for social change, or even an inspiration for thousands of books and dozens of movies. War is not least an economic event. In addition to being a military defeat, a political blunder and a human tragedy, the Vietnam War was also an economic disaster."

Abstract
This paper presents a discussion of economic reform in post-Soviet Russia and the prevalence and impact or organized crime that has continued to grow with the market economy there. Billions of dollars have left the former USSR; criminals have infiltrated most institutions and control approximately half of the national economy.
From the Paper
"Organized crime thrives in particular environments, as in post-Soviet Russia's capitalist economy of administrative ineffectiveness and inefficiency. For example, Russian businesses have required operation licenses from the state, as opposed to just registration, as in Western Europe. Bottlenecks have promoted bribery with officials refusing to process licenses, on demand, in danger. In much greater ways, full-fledged crime involves a large sector of the Russian economy, and its capital. A weaker central government and adjustment to a market economy promote increased criminal activity. One sees remarks on Soviet conditions having made a Russian culture of 'cheating' as the only way to advance, or obtain housing, goods."

" Thailand's Economic Crisis and the
"Triangle of Impossibility" Economic Model
Introduction
The "Triangle of Impossibility" economic model theorizes that it is dangerous, if not impossible for a small economy to maintain three desirable (politically) yet contradictory national goals. When it does, the end result is a macroeconomic crisis like the one currently going on in Thailand today (Na Thalang, 1997, 14). The three paths that Thailand is pursuing, suggests Na Thalang, are a fixed foreign exchange regime, free capital movement, and an independent monetary policy. After a brief economic snapshot of Thailand, these three divergent paths will be explored to determine if: A) the theory is valid, and B) if it.."

Compares organized crime from a historical perspective to "modern" white collar and cyber crime today. Shows how crime has evolved over the years and the effects it has had on society. Explains how people now see crime as a given and as an accepted part of the social order. Discusses how organized crime and syndicates continue to flourish.
From the Paper
"The effects of Crime on society and on a country cannot be easily explained or evaluated. The ill effects of organized crime have invaded almost all levels of society in most countries around the world. The Italian Mafia, organized crime in the United States, Russian Organized Crime (ROC), Chinese Crime Groups in North America (Tongs, Gangs, and Triads), the Japanese Yakuza, the South American Cartels, and outlaw motorcycle gangs are some of the few well organized and established crime organizations in existence in the United States. In addition, there are also other crime syndicates that may operate locally depending upon a region of a nation."

It provides a short overview of existing theoretical trends in terms of relation of civil society with state and economy.

From the Paper
"Since the beginning of the transformation in the countries of Eastern and Central Europe, as well as in the former USSR, the new wave of attention arose in regards to the issue of civil society, its necessity for the building democracies and making society and the regime stronger. Today, an endless number of books are devoted to the problem of the concept of civil society, its history, the way it influences the democratic transformations and making democracies sustainable. Also attempts to define the term and find a proper and perfect place for it in the society system are made. In this paper, I will not try to write another textbook or go into deep criticism of selected works on civil society. Only a brief overview of the theories is necessary to present as a background, or the first ?basement? level of the work."

?The Division of Labor in Society?, 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses how in his book "The Division of Labor in Society", Emile Durkheim sees society as evolving, as developing over time and how he considers the specific element of solidarity as it was manifested at each stage of development. Division of labor is another specific dimension by which we explain the existence of the kinds and types of social organization in a given society. It shows how Durkheim in his book, explains both the nature of society as well as the meaning of, development of and place of individuality within that structure. It examines how Durkheim's vision of the division of labor is of a naturally occurring reality that becomes a force for social cohesion and solidarity, binding individuals in society more closely together and may imperil individuality as a result.
From the Paper
"In discussing the bond of social solidarity, Durkheim indicates that there are two ideal types of solidarity, one mechanical and the other organic. The bond of solidarity is that which defines a society and its rules and regulations, rules which can be transgressed by the criminal precisely because that solidarity exists and stands as that against which crime is directed and defined. Crime is defined by Durkheim as an "act contrary to strong, well-defined states of common consciousness" (Durkheim 60). He then indicates that it is possible to see what kind of solidarity the penal law symbolizes, and he says that it is clear that social cohesion exists when there is a certain conformity of each individual consciousness to a common type, the psychological type of society.

From the Paper
"Economic growth is the increase in value of goods and services produced by an economy. It can be measured as a percent change in the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Growth is essential for the development of any country. Ensuring that the benefits of high economic growth are more widely distributed is vital for making such growth sustainable (Anonymous, 2007)."
"One of the most noticeable features of the Nigerian economy is that the majority of the Nigerian population is poor and stricken with widespread poverty and disease. This reflects in the low GDP per capita of the country."

Abstract
The Civil Rights movement of the 1960s was not a movement for equality in the social or political sense; rather, it was a movement to bring an end to economic inequality and exploitation by the elites. Common perception holds that the Civil Rights movement sought to gain certain political and social rights and equalities. Measures such as the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act reinforced such flawed perceptions. However, when the works of the leaders of the Civil Rights movement are consulted, it is discovered that they were seeking economic equality. They believed that the fundamental cause of racism was a flawed economic system. It is important to note that they did not believe that poverty in the traditional sense caused racism and inequality. They believed, especially King and Carmichael, that the entire economic system of the United States and of the world was inherently flawed. This essay explore? their arguments why racism was based on economics, why the system was flawed, and how they hoped to change the system.
