Abstract
This paper examines globalism vs. regionalism as it pertains to U.S. foreign policy in Iraq. It defines globalism as a policy that looks at the world as a whole and seeks global solutions to regional problems. It explains that regionalism looks at certain regions of the world as homogeneous units with similar cultures and beliefs. In the regionalist philosophy, the nations within these regions will naturally band together and form alliances, and regional bodies will solve problems within the region.
From the Paper
"In recent years, globalism has come to have a great focus on terrorism and terrorists. It focuses on the worldwide existence of terrorists and looks for global solutions to the terrorist issue. In vowing to keep the world safe from terrorism, the United States has expressed a very globalist philosophy. Efforts to exterminate terrorism have expanded worldwide, and most countries that are involved in the United Nations now have ongoing anti-terrorism efforts. Further, these countries are cooperating with other nations in order to apprehend and detain suspected terrorists. Those convicted of terrorism now face the very real possibility of being tried in an international court of law. Terrorism and its threat have brought the nations of the world together as never before."

Globalism and Regionalism, 2005.
A discussion on the effects of "globalism" versus "regionalism" on an area.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes its cue from the fact that the dichotomy of "Globalism vs. Regionalism" was used to analyze situations in the Third World during the Cold War, and it can be used today to analyze the divide brought about by and perhaps contributing to terrorism. During the Cold War, "globalism" referred to the almost exclusive focus on the Soviet Union while basically ignoring regional realities. The paper argues that today, the new globalists are those who focus almost exclusively on terrorism and terrorists, while basically ignoring regional realities.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The globalization of markets is the merging of distinctly separate national markets into a global marketplace and tastes and preferences converge onto a global norm (Martin, 2007). The increased globalization of markets occurred with the reduction in trade barriers and the removal of restrictions to foreign direct investment."
"Many economists believe that all countries benefit from engaging in free trade agreements. This belief shapes the economic policy of many nations and is the premise for trading blocs. Trading blocs are groups of countries that form institutions to help manage, regulate and police the global marketplace. Nowhere has the world seen a better example of economic integration than in Europe (Hill, 2004)."

Augustine's Understanding of the "City of God and the City of Man", 2002.
Examines the influence of Saint Augustine on Western religious thought and analyzes his text "City of God".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Saint Augustine presented the idea that faith and understanding (in the broad and narrow senses) go hand in hand. Because of this, his teachings were that to understand life, one must have faith, and to have faith, one must pursue an understanding of life. Augustine has proved to be one of the most influential thinkers in European and western history. While still a teenager, Augustine converted, became a priest, then the leader of the Church in North Africa, and, before he became Bishop and his writing career was virtually choked off, Augustine was a prolific producer of scriptural scholarly works. The "City of God", which was written between the years 413 and 426, was Augustine's response to the criticism leveled at Christianity by the pagans after they had sacked Rome in 410. This work represents Augustine's most significant contribution to Western religious thought and, like many personalized texts, takes on the Aristotelian method of posing questions to the self in an argumentative fashion and systematically refuting and explaining away each.

The Global South and the Global North, 2007.
An analysis of the impact of globalization on the inequality between the global north and the global south.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at globalization and discusses how it has exacerbated the pre-existing inequalities between the poor global south and the wealthy global north. It illustrates how globalization forces some people (predominantly in the southern regions of the planet) to work while permitting other people (predominantly individuals residing in the global north) to become wealthy.
From the Paper
"To start with, it is commonly known that powerful multinational corporations in the global north habitually take their manufacturing operations from Europe and/or America and deposit those aforementioned manufacturing operations in global south countries where they can avoid the onerous regulatory regimes, high corporate taxes, and high wage costs they associate with the north. At the same time, the movement of jobs and plants to the south has the unhappy effect of not only costing workers jobs in the north but also of reducing the south to the subordinate position of being "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for multinationals that are looking for cheap human resources that can be utilized in a working environment that is more permissive than the highly-regulated work environments of America and/or Europe. A good example of this phenomenon can be found in the IT sector where skilled U.S. workers are losing jobs to individuals overseas (Sosbe, 4) - presumably because the "cost of doing business" vis-a-vis wage expenses is lower in global south nations which do not have a strong tradition of labor activism or of government involvement in employee-employer relations."

Abstract
This paper reviews a series of short essays dealing with the changing face of American cities compiled in the book, "The New American City Faces its Regional Future: A Cleveland Perspective". The paper explains how the book, which contains essays from several different authors while focusing primarily on the future of Cleveland in the new world order, also has a very national perspective and speaks at length about the problems of urban centers across the country. The paper discusses Part One and Part Two of the book and summarizes the authors's opinions regarding Cleveland's present situation, the role of Cleveland's city hall, and top-down style reform. The paper also summarizes how the authors deal with the reconstruction of a city and the need for mandatory regional government that overrides the local rule of suburbs.
From the Paper
"Two basic situations were appraised by all of the writers in the first half of the book. The first had to do with the staggering inequality that coincides here with a deeply segregated living arrangement. Cleveland is apparently among the top five most segregated urban centers in the country, and the reason for this phenomenon is explored by all. The second issue is that of urban sprawl, with each author suggesting a course of action that might revitalize the inner city."

Abstract
This document discusses the role that regional integration plays within the context of global business and enterprise with an emphasis on Asia and China. The paper focuses on The World Trade Organization as an example of the importance that a unified trade apparatus among nations plays in developing a global economy vis-a-vis regional integration.
From the Paper
"For Google, whose line of business is centered on one of globalization's chief technologies, the internet, global integration led by the World Trade Organization (WTO) has been of primary importance to its own expansion. The WTO has been the leading agent in the promotion of global business and regional integration for many years. In tandem with other international bodies, the WTO has spearheaded global business practices founded on the principles of free and fair trade and nowhere has this effect been more pronounced than in Asia and particularly in China (Mendoza & Bahadur, 2002, paras.2-8).

The Homeless Problem in New York City, 2004.

Abstract
This paper reports that, in 2004, New York City set a record when the number of homeless New Yorkers residing in shelters reached the highest point in the city?s history. The author points out that 90 percent of homeless New Yorkers are black or Latino, even though only 53 percent of New York City?s total population is black or Latino; moreover, over 60 percent of homeless families previously lived in four of New York City?s poorest neighborhoods, and over half of the homeless mothers have a history of domestic violence. This paper concludes that it will take years of dedication and focus for New York City to ease the problem of homelessness by creating not only adequate permanent housing for the homeless, which actually will cost less than the present shelter and other emergency care programs, but also available services for those suffering from mental illness and substance abuse.
From the Paper
"According to the Coalition for the Homeless, in the month of August 2004, some 36,400 homeless men, women, and children were sleeping each night in the New York City shelter system, including 15,300 children, 12,700 adult family members, and 8,400 single adults, with many thousands more sleeping on city streets, park benches, and subway trains. New York City?s homeless shelter population has increased by 73 percent since 1998, from 21,000 to the current 36,400. The past six years has seen the number of homeless families sleeping in New York City shelters and welfare hotels increase by 99 percent, from 4,429 families in January 1998 to 8,726 families in August 2004. Moreover, the average stay for homeless families in the municipal shelter system has almost doubled over the past decade, from six months in 1992, to nearly twelve months today."

"Hugh Bentley, a layman, decided to try to fire the churches into action against the sin and criminal activity in 1946. Bentley stressed that Phenix City's problem was a moral one and that until the moral breakdown was changed, things would not improve. January 9, 1951, Bentley's house was blown up with thirty-six sticks of dynamite, however, neither he nor any of his family was seriously injured."
"In 1954, Albert Patterson, a sixty-year-old Phenix City lawyer, adopted his campaign crusade to be cleaning Phenix City's gambling machine. At this time, Phenix City was described by Life Magazine as the "wickedest city in the United States, . . . everything from gambling to murder to arson to fraud." (Ibid.) June 1, 1954, Patterson won the Democratic primary."
