Abstract
This paper explores the works of two scholars in regulation analysis, Robert Baldwin and Martin Cave. The paper presents their arguments about whether or not there can be 'good' regulation, what this means and how regulation can be defined and practiscd in developed and develping countries. Problems in achieving the essentials of regulation are discussed and recommendations are made drawing on a wide cross-section of case-studies and examples from the U.S., U.K., Africa, the Caribbean and South East Asia.
From the Paper
"The topic of regulation is one of elusive character, both in conceptual meaning and in practice. Given the fact that regulation is eclectic and multidisciplinary, the idea of good regulation is difficult to be achieved considering many factors such as the public and private sectors as well as voluntary or community groups and even academics to whom such ?good regulation? might mean different things. Contributing to this mode of dissension is the fact that economists and political scientists seem to treat regulation differently, as the former accentuate regulation for efficiency and the latter concentrate on the matter of public interest."

Abstract
This paper evaluates an under-emphasized aspect of self-regulated learning - motivation. The paper examines various methods of regulation of motivation. The paper describes how, in self-regulated learning, students combine the functions of motivation, cognitive strategies, and metacognition to support their ways of making achievements.
From the Paper
"In self-regulated learning, students combine the functions of motivation, cognitive strategies, and metacognition to support their way to make achievements. To achieve educational goals, self-regulated learners have the ability to recognize what they aim, what it takes to accomplish a goal, the process they need to go through, and the control of endurance in their whole efforts. Besides those factors, regulation of motivation also plays an important role in self-regulated learning. Motivation is important to provide the foundation to start the learning and achieving process. Motivation can be viewed as ?product? or ?process? (Winne & Mark, 1989 in Wolters, 2003). Wolters states, as a product, motivation means ?willingness to persist in a task.? As a ?process,? students experience different levels of motivation from many causes and conditions."

Abstract
This paper presents two essays on government regulation. The first essay attempts to show how government regulations protect consumers and businesses and help maintain a stable economy. The paper discusses the merits of regulations about hazardous waste, vehicle lemon laws and monopoly and anti-trust laws. The second essay maintains that government regulations harm the economy by hurting businesses. This view portrays how government regulations are so restrictive that they make it impossible for businesses to operate, which negatively affects both consumers and the economy.
From the Paper
"Since America was in its infancy, the public has looked to federal and state government agencies to protect it from harm. Whether it was the threat of international terrorism or scams from international gold diggers, society has turned to its government and asked it to regulate such activities to protect American residents. While the public recognizes and appreciates such efforts, it quickly changes its tune when it comes to government regulations with regard to business."

From the Paper
"Although securities transactions are private contracts, they take place in public markets and have effects extending far beyond the specific parties involved. Moreover, there is a general societal interest in strong capital markets. The strength of the U.S. capital markets, due in part to their relative safety and transparency, has been a fundamental component of this country's economic growth. Indeed, the United States' capital markets are sufficiently attractive that they regularly attract listings from foreign issuers, some of whom appear to view compliance with extensive U.S. regulations as providing their securities with something like a good housekeeping seal. An increasing number of foreign issuers and corporations are choosing to list their stock on United States exchanges, thereby agreeing to comply with the U.S. federal securities laws. This public nature of business law is the central focus of the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation."

Government Regulation of Business, 2008.
This paper argues positions for and against government regulation of business.

Abstract
This paper explains that government regulation of commerce in the United States traces back to the first draft of the Constitution, which gives the federal government power to regulate interstate commerce. The author points out that the power of regulations of businesses allows the federal government to act on behalf of the public and provide protections for individuals who cannot manage on their own without collective support. The paper stresses that, far from being evil and ineffective, appropriate government regulations can have many positive effects such as reducing corporate excess and increasing accountability in the business world. The author underscores that, unfortunately, the presence of a regulatory agency or legislation is no guarantee of the successful achievement of that goal. The paper also argues that any regulation leveled at the business community is ultimately borne by the consumers who patronize those businesses and negatively impact innovation in products by raising costs for businesses.

From the Paper
"The reality is that the government is, by and large, an obstacle to increased prosperity and economic growth in industrialized nations. The traditional view of regulations is that it is the primary weapon or tool that the government has in its efforts to rein in the excesses of the business community. This attitude posits that business and commerce is somehow opposed to the interests of the public and that the government can act as a kind of "white knight" to protect the public and champion their interests in the face of corporations and businesses intent only on improving their bottom line and increasing profits."

Abstract
Through an examination of the history of film in America, this paper looks at the censorship and regulation of the film industry and argues that the need for regulation was forced upon the industry (and still is, in a way) for no other reason than that conservative elements of America felt that what the average American could see should be censored. The paper further argues that this regulation was not merely to prevent bawdiness, lewdness, or unsuitable physical actions that stimulated sexual feelings, but also to regulate the politicization of the movies.
From the Paper
"Following the end of the War, while many film makers now turned to a rather "new" sophistication, there was also a very serious anti-Communist note in some movies. While the real "Red Scare" occurred in the 1950s, in 1919, for example, there was real concern that the newly Communist Russia might actually invade the U.S. "Conservative films such as The New Moon (1919) disparaged communists and communism with scenes of perfidious Bolshevik officers attacking vulnerable young women....In The Penalty...audiences saw 10,00 disgruntled foreign workers, armed with rifles and pistols, waiting to open fire on police and take over the city of San Francisco." (Ross 136). Politicians applauded these films, even though they often misrepresented actual events. This included several truly anti-Semitic films, which, under extreme political pressure, were forced to change character names and some dialogue. "Pressure from the Yiddish press and Governor Al Smith forced the producers of The Volcano to alter its blatantly anti-Semitic plot. The hero's name was changed from Garland to Nathan Levison and the hook-nosed villain was given the line: 'I am not Jew. I am a Bolshevik.!'" (Ross 141)."

Abstract
The paper discusses the 2002 legislation of Sarbanes-Oxley that regulates the accounting industry's own regulatory norms. The paper explains that despite the positive effects of such regulation, questions regarding the actual effectiveness of the broader, federal regulations over the previously established state regulations are raised. The paper emphasizes the effects that these federal regulations have had on the global markets and therefore, on the United States market as a whole. The paper concludes that increasing intrusion of federal law into how corporations go about their business, threatens to sacrifice the prime objective of corporate productivity and in turn, the productivity of our nation on a global scale.

Introduction
The New Federal Regulation Of Corporate Governance
The Effect Of Federal Regulation On Existing State
Regulation Of Corporations
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Recent years have seen a large number of accounting scandals and public outcry regarding executive compensation in the United States, however. As such, government bodies from the Securities and Exchange Commission to Congress to the courts have chipped in regarding the regulatory environment of business conducted within the U.S. The most high profile of these actions was the 2002 legislation of Sarbanes-Oxley, regulating the accounting industry's own regulatory norms. However, other regulatory measures have included executive compensation, the administration of mutual funds, and public disclosures of transactions have been increasingly regulated by the federal government, with undoubtedly the best of intentions."

Self-Regulation, 2007.
A comparative analysis of two articles on self regulation.
1,529 words (approx. 6.1 pages), 2 sources, MLA, AU$ 73.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the articles "Hypo-Egoic Self-Regulation: Exercising Self-Control by Diminishing the Influence of the Self" by M. Leary, C. Adams and E. Tate and "Personality and Self-Regulation: Trait and Information-Processing Perspectives" by Rick Hoyle. It discusses how Hoyle's analysis captures the importance of self-regulation in today's society and, in particular, how people perceived and interpreted this concept. The paper then attempts to show how this popular belief about self-regulation allows researchers on self-control/self-regulation to prove whether this interpretation and perspective is indeed more accurate in depicting the nature of these concepts. In comparison, the paper looks at how Leary et. al.'s new discovery about the nature of self-regulation is illustrated through the hypo-egoic state concept.
From the Paper
"In uncovering this finding in the study, the authors looked into occasions and instances in which self-regulation of the self fails. This investigation was done to determine the factors that contribute to low self-control, and consequently, contribute to lowered hypo-egoic state. One of the main factors that identified the complexity of the concept of hypo-egoic state is that it is paradoxical: the main thrust of the authors was that in order to achieve self-control of the self, one has to relinquish the idea that s/he seeks to control himself/herself. The futility of this said paradox was determined to be the key that guided the authors in studying further the conceptual and operational concepts surrounding self-control and hypo-egoic state. "

New Deal Regulation and Farm Productivity, 2004.
This paper reviews Sally Clarke?s article, ?New Deal Regulation and the Revolution in American Farm Productivity,? which states that this regulation in the 1930s made possible the acquisition of labor-saving farm machinery.

Abstract
This paper explains how the New Deal eliminated earlier concerns and conflicts between safety and productivity. The author states that this article recognizes the roles of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) in the farmers? investment strategy and that the economic impact of government regulation interfered with market forces in ways that did not always benefit the economy of the country. The paper concludes, in terms of history, that the article shows that the past needs to be taken into account for both its successes and its failures, if things are to move forward in a significant way.
From the Paper
"Clarke makes several points to advance her argument. Firstly, she points out that high sales figures for tractors starting in World War I may be misleading, as they do not focus on the farmers who might potentially have bought tractors and did not. When calculating the relative number of farmers potentially benefiting from purchasing tractors, Clarke finds that fewer farmers in the Corn Belt than expected owned tractors in 1929. This advances the argument that economic factors led to reluctance to invest in new technology during this time. The author further reinforces the point by citing the farmers? tendency to protect assets due to the instability of commodity markets."

Regulation of the Cable Industry, 1992.
A discussion of the possibilities of regulation in the cable industry including an argument that regulation is necessary to protect against poor service and high rates.

From the Paper
"Consumers have two basic complaints about the delivery of cable television to the home--poor service, and high rates. In the deregulation atmosphere of the Reagan era, many government agencies and regulations were abandoned or curtailed, and cable television was deregulated along with many other industries. As it has been determined that deregulation might not be serving the interests of the public and that some industries have been taking unfair advantage of the deregulated environment, Congress has moved to try to re-regulate a variety of industries. The cable television industry is a recent example. The issue is whether cable re-regulation has the potential to protect the interests of the consumer and precisely what effects it will have on the cable television industry and the consumer. It has been charged that re-regulation will have a damaging financial effect on both the..."

The Regulation of Canadian Securities, 2008.
A review of self-regulating organizations (SROs) and their role in the regulation of the securities industry in Canada.
2,180 words (approx. 8.7 pages), 11 sources, MLA, AU$ 97.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the regulation of the securities industry in Canada. It briefly reviews the Canadian capital market and looks at the various self-regulating organizations (SROs) in place and their key features. From there, the paper discusses the nature of the Constitution Act, 1867, and how it can be construed as supporting local or provincial control of the securities sector.
From the Paper
"As a last point before bringing this paper to a close, it should be added that self-regulation by the SROs discussed above (and at the provincial level in the form of securities commissions) are better simply because it allows supervisory bodies to concentrate their efforts upon a smaller group of individuals. To put the matter simply, individuals looking to break the law - or at least to engage in questionable practices - may feel that they can "slip through the cracks" of a national regulatory regime. However, by having provincial commissions in place (acting in conjunction with broad organizations like the MFDA and IDA, of course) the likelihood of evading detection becomes increasingly remote. Effective plans or programs that heighten the effectiveness of provincial self-regulation would surely seem to be ones that call for close cooperation between SROs and provincial commissions - with joint offices set up that pool resources and allow for immediate investigation of complaints or concerns."

Regulation and a Free Economy, 2006.
This paper discusses the role of regulation in a free society.
848 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper begins by explaining that there are new roles for regulation in a free society. This is partially fostered by the fact that free trade is now more global than ever before. Without some form of regulation of the companies doing business in the new free trade atmosphere, it is likely that excesses would occur that would either hurt the U.S. economy, or bring dishonor to the nation. The paper discusses that it is almost unavoidable that some regulation of parts of some industries is needed in order for many trade agreements to survive. The paper concludes that regulation is also needed to ensure that the ordinary person does not suffer and can compete with the big companies.
From the Paper
"There are new roles for regulation in a free society, partially fostered by the fact that free trade is now more global than ever before. These days, "trade policy and regulation are rapidly becoming intertwined and this relationship is fast becoming politically important. U.S. environmental and consumer organizations were active participants in the politics of both the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the recent Uruguay Round accord of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)" (Vogel, 1995 p. 73+). Without some form of regulation of the companies doing business in the new free trade atmosphere, it is likely excesses would occur that would either hurt the U.S. economy, or bring dishonor to the nation, or both."

Government Regulation, 2006.
A paper that discusses the need or denies the need for government regulation.
1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 7 sources, AU$ 102.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper offers two essays, one supporting the need for government regulation, the other denying it and supporting deregulation. The first notes that government regulation is necessary to assure safety, to prevent disease, to protect the rights of the individual, and to assure a level playing field in business. While one might argue that certain specific regulations are over-reaching or unnecessary, one must support the idea of regulation itself.
From the Paper
"Government regulation is necessary to assure safety, to prevent disease, to protect the rights of the individual, and to assure a level playing field in business. While one might argue that certain specific regulations are over-reaching or unnecessary, one must support the idea of regulation itself, which after all was only undertaken once it was clear that the marketplace would not be effective in certain areas, such as enforcing safety rules, protecting consumers from fraud and misrepresentation, and reducing predatory practices on the part of business. Regulation typically refers to governmental efforts to control individual price, output, or product quality decisions of private firms in an effort to prevent purely private decision-making that would take inadequate account of the public interest. The first modern regulatory agency was established by Congress in 1887--the Interstate Commerce Commission--to control railroad rates. By the 1960s, government regulation was commonplace in the transportation..."

Internet Regulation, 2002.
An argument against regulation of the Internet by the U.S. government.
2,229 words (approx. 8.9 pages), 11 sources, MLA, AU$ 100.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper aims to prove that the U.S. government should not regulate the Internet. It shows how the government has used a number of reasons to support its quest for regulation, such as protecting children, yet it has ignored the fact that there are other methods to control harmful and illegal material online without hindering the Internet?s growth and capabilities. It examines how the Internet is currently a major example of the First Amendment: freedom of speech and how on the Internet, people can say whatever they want without consequence. It attempts to assess how it would be impossible for any single government or nation to completely regulate the internet, because by nature, the Internet is resistant to control and regulation.
From the Paper
"The government claims that the Internet should be regulated because pornographic and hate sites need to be controlled. However, these sites are only a very small part of the Internet. In addition, there are already existing laws throughout the world that regulate these sites, enabling authorities to track, investigate, arrest and convict parties engaging in illegal Internet activities, including credit fraud, hacking, pedophilia and more (117).
Government regulation, such as blocking Web sites from harmful or illegal content is a drastic and unnecessary measure that does solve the problems presented by the Internet. Even if the regulation were successful, it would be impossible to solve the problem of sites outside the U.S. The government still continue to argues that this regulation is necessary, particularly to protect the children."

Abstract
This paper looks at various factors in self-regulation and how different temperaments affect them. It cites several studies done in young children and how they are able to delay gratification for a greater reward, as an example of self-regulatory ability.
From the Paper
"The self-regulation of appetitive impulses has been studied mostly in pre-school children looking at their ability to forgo an immediate reward that is less attractive in return for a delayed reward that is more attractive to them. It has been shown that the children psychologically distance themselves from the hot quality of the reward taste of cookies by focusing on cool cognitive cues such as the shape of the cookies or by distracting thoughts. These authors hypothesized that thinking of rejection in terms of hot emotional responses would cause more hostility..."
