Abstract
This paper describes the influences of Western Christianity on the everyday life of the American people, ranging from abortion issues to capital punishment. It argues that our everyday lives are influenced by Christian morals and judgements.
From the Paper
"There are some instances where the Supreme Court has stepped in to reassure fairness to all denominations. When countless issues come to the highest court in the land time after time it echoes one principal: that we the people continue to pass laws that are unequal and unfair to other religions. Will our society ever stop backing Christianity in politics, probably not. Christianity is a big part of our culture and we will continue to reflect that in public matters."

From the Paper
"The American character is full of curious contradictions at once potentially creative - and destructive. Nowhere is this more apparent than in its religious life. Based upon a Judeo-Christian heritage of European origin, America's religious mainstream is largely Protestant, with the majority denominations of a "presbyterian" organizational character - that is, determinedly anti-hierarchic and democratic. But the same seed from which the flowering of the U. S. Constitution sprang also carries in it a less admirable trait: cultism. American religious cults are the logical extension of anarchic and charismatic tendencies of mainstream Protestantism of the presbyterian character.
In the wake of the recent tragedy in Oklahoma City, where at least a hundred confirmed lives were lost in the bombing of a ... "

From the Paper
"For many people who came of age and got into rock music in the 1960s and 1970s, and perhaps smoked some marijuana and even experimented with LSD, their interest in eastern religion and mysticism began with the Beatles? fascination with ? and association with ? the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. It was John Lennon and George Harrison, in particular, who embraced the Maharishi in the late 1970s and early 1980s, in the town of Rishikesh, deep in the Himalayan foothills of northern India. The media clamored for photos of the Beatles hanging out and drinking in the good vibes of this holy man in white robes who preached peace through self-awareness and higher consciousness through meditation."

From the Paper
"America is a religious country without being a religiously-controlled country. The Constitution protects religion from government interference and also from having the government select any one religion as a preferred religion. Christianity in its many denominations is the major religion in the United States, but there are many minority religions that thrive and that serve communities ranging from the relatively large to the very small. Some of these religions have been imported from other parts of the world, and some have developed here as individuals and groups seek a way to express their spirituality when they are disappointed in the existing religions. Some groups brought their religion with them and have made it part of the ethnic community they have built here. Some of these groups have also encountered discrimination and intolerance at various times ..."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination, written from a legal standpoint, of the treaty on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children. The paper concludes the U. S. is willing to intervene in other international problems, such as oil; and therefore, it should make a public statement to protect the world?s most precious commodity, children, by supporting the treaty.

Why Won't the U.S. Sign?
Reasons for Signing the Treaty
From the Paper
"While there are many political reasons that the US may refuse to sign the treaty, one of the chief causes for concern might be the establishment of an International Criminal Court. Many UN delegates support the idea of an International Criminal Court but the United States has been steadfast in its refusal to agree. An international criminal court might begin the slippery slope of descent to the power of individual nations when it comes to many issues including the treaty.If the international criminal court gains favor and power in the future it is feasible that the court could be used to enforce the treaty."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the doctrine of multiculturalism. The writer offers an analysis of why such a doctrine is problematic. In order to examine the issue of multiculturalism, the writer uses examples from the public education systems in the U.S. and Great Britain to show the difficulties in treating all cultures as equal.
From the Paper
"Multiculturalism is defined by the Ayn Rand institute as the view that all cultures are equal. While this doctrine is often adopted in spirit if not in principle in the U.S. and Great Britain, multiculturalism is problematic as a term. For if all cultures are equal we cannot say that there is one superior way of being, one superior set of values or one superior method of educating individuals. However societies like America and Great Britain often adopt such methods values ... "

Abstract
The writer describes that the most amazing thing to know about how religion shapes society in the United States concerns World War II. Before then, Christians and Jews worldwide, and certainly in the United States, viewed each other with a great deal of distrust, based on a profound lack of knowledge. Through a look at religion in politics, Judaism, Christianity and prayer, among others, the writer of this paper maintains that religion is operative in American life, from the ball field to the church itself, to the halls of science and to metaphysical precincts of the new 'quantum' universe.

From the Paper
"Novak believes the discovery of each other happened on three levels. First, there was the theological level. Christians discovered how much closer they had been to their Judaic roots than most people, before World War II, had suspected. Because of that, Novak says, "Judaism can no longer be dismissed as an historical relic, a mere proto-Christianity" By the same token, Jews have discovered that Christianity is "not a one-time deviation from Judaism". Perhaps it would be easiest to say that Christians and Jews, by acquiring greater knowledge of each other fostered by the necessity of the World War II, also gained more respect for each other, and that must certainly have a positive impact on American society. While it is not the religion per se at cause, certainly religion has a profound impact, in any case, on how we conduct ourselves, at least in relation to those of the 'other' religion."

Abstract
"This paper discusses an article from the Economist Intelligence Unit, a publication of The Economist, entitled "China's Economy: U.S. and E.U. Get Tough on Textiles" as it relates to the price pressures on apparels in the U.S. market. These issues are examined from a macroeconomic perspective with an emphasis on Keynesian and neo-classical macroeconomic theory.
From the Paper
"Following the end of quotas on textile imports from China as of 1 January 2005, both the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) have witnessed a massive influx of textile imports from China: "U.S. imports of Chinese clothing swelled in January, a rush of new products following the end of international quotas that for decades had limited global apparel trade" (Chinese, 2005, para.1). While increases have been across the board, three categories in particular have seen huge increases: cotton knit shirts, blouses and cotton trousers, and these have been targeted for renewed protectionist quotas by both the US and the EU (China, 2005, para.2).

Civil Religion in Politics, 2004.
An examination of the various ways that American civil religion has been used by U.S. presidents during times of war.
2,779 words (approx. 11.1 pages), 9 sources, MLA, AU$ 120.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how, throughout the history of American politics, presidents have struggled to tread the fine line between a secular government and public faith softly. It discusses how civil religion shows up in political discourse, on the campaign trail, and most often in inaugural speeches. It explores how different American presidents have toyed with a civil religion during times of war in order to persuade the public to their viewpoint and justify war, and it focuses specifically on the Civil War, the Vietnam War, and the current war in Iraq. It also analyzes the impact that civil religion has had on American society and its roots.
From the Paper
"Although every presidency has used civil religion in a variety of ways, a few administrations have exemplified the use of a nondenominational national religion, especially those administrations that have dealt with America during times of war. Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson during the Vietnam War, and George W. Bush during the War in Iraq stand out among a crowded history of leaders who have used civil religion in an attempt to unite and console a nation in turmoil."

From the Paper
"Texas has added many economic, political and strategic advantages to the United States. But Texas was not acquired by the simple task of colonization and claim; Texas was fought for and won from the Spanish Empire by the people of these United States. They did not enter this conflict without reason or resolution; they entered this battle for independence and eventual statehood for many political and social reasons. First, the already great abundance of United States immigrants in the Spanish State of Texas, or Tejas, at the time of the revolution aided in the approval in action by the U.S. Secondly, the comparisons of the citizens of Texas predicament to the United States? own revolution also aided in the agreement on U.S. initiative. Finally, the American dislike of the Spanish Empire and its wish to dissolve its influence in North America aided as well in American entrance into the affairs of the Texas Revolution."

Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"The concept of geopolitics is directly related to the ideas articulated by Halford Mackinder in his attempt to promote the field of geography as an aid to British diplomacy (Agnew, 1989). His concept of geopolitics was intended to show the impact of geographical factors such as the spatial disposition of the continents and oceans, and the distribution of natural and human resources. In the 1920s and 1930s, Mackinder's idea of a Eurasian "heartland" rising to global dominance was adopted by certain Nazi theorists to justify German expansionism.
Boudeville (1966) has pointed out that the concept of geoeconomics followed the concept of geopolitics as articulated by Mackinder. Boudeville maintains that geoeconomics is a concept of economic space which includes such items as investment capital, transportation networks, industry, and agricultural techniques."

"This study will critically discuss Immanuel Wallerstein's Geopolitics and Geoculture: Essays on the Changing World-system (1991). The study will argue that Wallerstein is right in his analysis of the world of the future. The author says that the future is uncertain, but we have opportunities to make choices which will make that world a better place for human beings. Wallerstein is writing for readers in the West, so he speaks to their fears and hopes. He says that the changes happening in the capitalist world are the most important changes happening today. These changes are deep and permanent and will lead to the end of capitalism. Wallerstein says that capitalism is "bifurcating" (14-15), and he defines bifurcation as "the appearance of a new solution of the equations for some critical value" (234). Wallerstein does not pretend to know what this "new solution" to..."

From the Paper
"Gorbachev's presidency marked a new dawn in the relationships between U.S. and the Soviet Union. It was during his tenure that the INF treaty (Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces) was signed that eliminated all nuclear arms in the range of 500 and 5500 Kilometers. The early nineties however meant an economic downturn for the soviets and many European countries and the soaring unemployment under the socialist policies created poverty and social unrest. The Soviet Union was forced to enter the open market in exchange for aid. The ensuing coup saw the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the declaration of independence by the republics. Thus the death of the soviet empire marked the end of the Cold War."

Abstract
This paper explains that, throughout the history of mankind, religion has played a vital role. The author points out that humans naturally find a supreme being to worship in answer to questions about how the world began, where the world is going, what is his or her purpose on earth, what does life mean and what will happen to him or her after death. The paper relates that, although these religions do have differences, the three religions of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity believe in only one God and the importance of living a life that would be pleasing to this God. The author concludes that the role of mankind in religion is to seek God and to worship and obey.

The Roles of Man in Religion
Why Does Mankind Need Religion
Role of Man in the Islamic Faith
The Role of Man in Judaism
The Role of Man in Christianity
From the Paper
"Comparing Judaism to the Islamic faith will show that they both believe in only one God. The Jews believe they are special and that God chose them over the other nations. "Jews believe that the Jewish people are specially chosen by God." The role of man is to obey the covenant made by God to Moses and when they follow the laws of God their lives will be blessed. Judaism is one of the religions that date back through early history. One of the benefits of following this faith is the ability to have a personal relationship with God. ... The Jews continue to believe that God is alive and continues to affect what happens in the world."
