Abstract
This essay will argue that the post-colonial history of Grenada has, to a profound extent, been determined by its geography. As will be seen, Grenada's small size and limited resources - together with the fact that much of its agricultural production is directed toward "cash crops" for export - has made its independence problematic.

Abstract
This paper argues that the Cold War was the inevitable consequence of the global shift in power. It outlines the change in the balance of world powers during the Second World War. Then it explains how the American plan for free market trade was irreconcilable with Soviet plans for continued Communism and a buffer zone of Communist states. The paper discusses American idealistic universalism and the closed, suspicious nature of the Soviet government and the Soviet revival of communism. It then outlines the history of tension between Russia and America and shows that the only reason open war did not break out was fear of nuclear weapons.
From the Paper
"Stalin heightened tensions with the west at the end of the war by promoting a siege mentality in the Soviet Union. "This feeling of fear and insecurity lived and flourished and came to underlie almost all Soviet thought about the outside world." Russian statesmen were insular, apparently without personal contacts or interests in the Western world and concerned with international life only as it relates to Russian security. At the end of the war, Stalin told Churchill he is hoped for the "successful and happy development in the post-war period of the friendly relations which have grown up between our countries in the period of the war." But Stalin had revived communism after the war, which was ideologically anti-western and which was offensive to people in the United States. To Americans, "The institution of private property ranks with those of religion and the family as a bulwark of civilization...To tamper with private enterprise...will precipitate a disintegration of life and liberty as we conceive and treasure them." Therefore, in addition to conflicting economic interests and American ideology, the Russian siege mentality and revival of communism made the Cold War inevitable."

From the Paper
'The purpose of this paper is to analyze and critique the book, "Inevitable Revolutions", by Walter LaFeber.
The central position of this book, which deals with U.S. relations with the five Central American countries--Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala--is that the United States has, for approximately 100 years, claimed those countries as fiefdoms of the United States, economically, politically and militarily, and thereby created the conditions for "inevitable revolutions," which have taken place over the last century and are still taking place today.
The story the author tells is nothing less than incredible, particularly since the facts and figures given in the book are generally not to be found in the American media. However, this is not surprising since in that media most information with a ... "

From the Paper
"The present phase of relatively fast growth in the developing countries is driven principally by strong global demand, especially, originating mainly in the US. This is further fuelled by the Chinese economic growth. During 1980s and 1990s, most developing countries embraced the market-oriented reforms agenda with the expectation that with this approach they will be able to integrate better with the other economies of the globe. The agenda included liberalization and deregulation at the national level and opening up through competition at the global level. Different countries advanced in this direction to different extents. However, after the East Asian Crisis of late 1990s, the approach of the affected countries changed and they started accumulating foreign currency, mostly dollars as a measure of insurance against any future probable risks and looking to the rise in the oil prices in the international markets. This is also a result of currency manipulative monetary policies of some of the countries like China. Many of the countries developed current surpluses which used to be mostly in red. However, the main sources of the inflow were the increasing trade surplus and FDI."

Was the American Civil War Inevitable?, 2006.

Abstract
This paper explains that the outbreak of the Civil War cannot be contributed to one cause or problem. The paper discusses the factors which contributed to the outbreak of the war. The factors were as follows: economic considerations, the ideologies of the people, and the expansion of the United States territory. The paper shows how slavery in itself was not the single factor contributing to war, but that each succeeding crisis in the country began to bring slavery up as a factor until the politics of the time were a tangle of issues, conflicting attitudes, and personal emotions. The writer explains that being unable to objectively separate these issues brought war upon the nation. In conclusion, the writer states that the ideals of homeland, political stability, freedom for all, economic gain, moral values, and heritage all combined to make the American Civil War inevitable.
From the Paper
"By the 1850's there was an ever-growing imbalance between the North and South in the areas of population and distribution of wealth. The South was quickly becoming the minority faction in a Union based on majority rule. As the South saw themselves slipping into subjugation to the growing political power residing in the North, there was a rising need to defend their economic system in order to survive. Southerners as a whole began to defend slavery as a means of economic survival. With the defense of slavery came an attitude of defensiveness against everything Southern. The South was not going to by bullied by the overbearing North on any issue. This tended to gravitate both sides away from each other and away from methods of compromise. In all the various compromises proposed and passed by the government in the years prior to the Civil War there was never an economic solution to the slavery issue proposed. The North never tried to help the South abolish slavery by finding other methods to fill this need of plantation agriculture or to help bring industry to the South; they wanted slavery abolished without its further spread into the newly acquired territories and that was it.
"The economics of the pre-war United States played a large part in the inevitability of war even though by itself it was not a cause. The economic discussions and emotions asserted over financial distribution caused a political rift, which enlarged to become an uncrossable void. From the South's point of view, the government in Washington was pushing plantation owners into a corner and was destined to bring financial ruin to the south. Agricultural interests knew that for the South to continue to grow economically, the plantation system and southern agriculture in general must be expanded into other territories. It was from this standpoint that economics became tied to territorial expansion."

Was Secession Inevitable?, 2002.

Abstract
This paper examines the underlying social, political and economic causes of the secession of the South leading to the Civil War. It asks if war was inevitable or if there was any other possible solution to the crisis situation of the time. It focuses mostly on events leading up to the war and briefly describes battles and events.
From the Paper
"By establishing a parallel between their desire for secession and the plight of the original colonists, the South believed that their arguments would engender a more widespread public sympathy and would also lend their claims greater legal strength and validity. They unified their position into what is called the ?compact theory?, first elucidated in the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798. According to the theory, the individual states delegated their authority to the Federal government when they ratified the Constitution and could withdraw it through due process of another convention."

Abstract
The American Civil War was not caused by one single event or action, but rather a plethora of events that triggered one another, eventually triggering the first shot of the war. From the settlement of America and the formation of the Union to the secession of the Southern states, the North and the South were divided on many issues. This essay talks about the culture and society in the North and South in the antebellum era. Specifically, it discusses the religion, education, and transportation in the two regions, which led to political and economic disputes.
From the Paper
"In New England, immigrants traveled to the colonies as families and lived by the traditional patriarchal family structure. Women still married young and produced many children. The life span of New Englanders was also longer compared to southerners and consequently young women had less freedom of choosing husbands. Since most New Englanders were very religious, they placed a strong value on morals. Far less women experienced pre-marital pregnancies in New England than in the Chesapeake. Children also received stricter parental supervision since both of their parents were usually alive".

The Cold War: An Inevitable Conflict, 2007.

Abstract
The paper argues that the sequence of events following the Second World War provided the foundations which unavoidably led to increased tensions and an ensuing Cold War. The paper discusses the differing ideologies, the competition for spheres of influence, the advancement of weaponry, the arms race, as well as a lack of trust, all of which entrenched the Soviet Union and the West into an unpreventable power struggle. The paper shows how these events made friendly relationships between the two sides impossible for decades to come.
From the Paper
"The end of the Second World War brought forth a dramatic change in the global power structure. Whereas before the war there had been a power struggle between five great nations, the completion of the war brought an end to France, Germany and Britain's claim as world super powers. Emerging from the chaos were the two remaining super powers: the Soviet Union and the United States, with the remnants of three former super powers aligning themselves with the U.S. to create a power bloc. The result was the Cold War, where from 1945 to 1989, these two sides involved nearly the entire globe in a conflict. Yet from very early on, Historians and Political Scientists have questioned whether or not the Cold War was unavoidable, or if the Western World could have in fact lived in peace and cooperated with the Eastern Bloc."

Abstract
An analysis of the spiral motif in Vertigo, beginning with a close look at suspense and terror. Establishing suspense as the main source of fear in the film, this paper gives a detailed examination of how spirals create suspense through repetition of scenes, settings, and character obsessions, followed by a summary of other spiral effects in the film (Scottie's hallucinations and vertigo). A careful look at the characters, and the spiral nature of their identities, including a look at how the characters interact and force the action of the film towards destruction.
From the Paper
"Beginning at a single point and spinning outwards, the curve of a spiral never hits the same point twice, but the pattern that it follows is always identical. Spirals form the dominant image in Alfred Hitchcock?s Vertigo, beginning in the opening credits with the spirals appearing in the close-up of a woman?s eye. All of the slight details, from Carlotta Valdes? hair to the repetition of clothing, point towards the spiral as a major theme, and the physical spirals direct the viewer?s attention to the repetitions in plot and character. Alfred Hitchcock introduces a spiral motif that permeates all aspects of Vertigo and drives the action towards its inevitable conclusion, but suspense is created as all attempts to break the spiral are thwarted and all hope for happiness fades."

The Inevitability of War, 2002.
This paper is a personal essay which states that war is inevitable as long as sovereign nations continue to exist.

Abstract
This paper argues that when the interests of sovereign nations conflict, a diplomatic solution will not always be available. The author explains that often countries whose interests conflict with that of another powerful sovereign country simply will not accept a diplomatic solution that is extremely unfavorable to them. The author continues that there will inevitably be dictators and other powerful leaders who are inherently blood thirsty and aggressive.
From the Paper
"But, could not disputes over points of conflict be resolved by diplomatic means? In objection to our first consideration, it seems that there need not be any essential reason as to why disputes could not simply be settles by diplomatic means. Why must war be inevitable and why must diplomatic solutions break down? Well, for one thing, when the diplomatic sticking point involves the fact that one country simply wishes to annex anther country as its territory, then it seems that an acceptable diplomatic solution would be impossible, because one country would have to agree to being invaded and assimilated into the other. It is equally unlike that the invading country would be willing to agree not to invade, because it is in their minds and interests to do so. Secondly, we must remember the case of terrible tyrannical leaders being elected to power and realize that sovereign nations will not always, and not even typically, be governed by rational men who are open to diplomatic solutions. Indeed, it is equally possible that a national ruler might be more predisposed to war than to diplomacy, and, in such a situation, how can an irrational aggressor ever be reasoned with? Thus, it is absolutely impossible that, by simply attempting to resolve the dispute between themselves, sovereign nations will ever be able to solve all of their problems by purely diplomatic means."

The Inevitability of Cloning, 2005.
Argues that cloning is inevitable and that the impetus of scientific manipulation and creative thought will eventually outweigh any arguments to the contrary.

Abstract
This paper explores some of the arguments for and against cloning and looks at how they pertain to the inevitability of the proliferation and development of cloning. The paper sees scientific discovery and human intellectual progress as central factors in the debate on cloning and examines the controversy from this perspective.
From the Paper
"The science of cloning has raised eyebrows throughout the world. For those who advocate cloning the promise of this technology ranges from renewing body parts and curing disease to the complete cloning of another human being. The most bizarre of these predictions, which may now seem more realistic since the cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1997, has been made by the Raelian movement, founder of the Clonaid Company. They intend to use the cells of a dead baby for cloning, with the express purpose of bringing it back to life as a newborn. Cloning raises many issues that extend well beyond the technical and medical questions that might be asked. The possibility of human cloning is a problem that confronts human society on many levels ? including religious, ethical, psychological and sociological areas. One of the most debatable issues surrounding cloning is the possible disruption and even the destruction of human institutions such as the family and parenting. On a different but related level, cloning is a threat to religious perceptions and challenges the very meaning of what it is to be a human being."

"COLD WAR: ITS ORIGINS AND INEVITABILITY 1945-1947
This essay analyzes the relative positions of the United States and the Soviet Union in the aftermath of the Second World War and discusses the origins of the Cold War, including whether its coming was inevitable. A power vacuum was created in the center of Europe and other areas on the periphery of the Soviet Union by the defeat of the Axis. The methods used by the Soviets to pursue their interests provoked vigorous defensive countermeasures by the United States and its allies. No other response from the West could have been realistically anticipated so long as the Soviet Union remained under the control of Josef Stalin.

From the Paper
"... delineates the conception of just and unjust wars and states that no war can be just on both sides, though a war can be unjust on both sides. In general, war is unjust for the one at fault and just for the defender against aggression. ... indicates how the legalist paradigm of aggression has been used to differentiate between the two, between the just and the unjust war. This paradigm begins with the domestic analogy which holds that aggression is the international equivalent of armed robbery or murder. ... points out that international society is and is not like domestic relationships, but to the degree that it is like domestic relationships, the legalist paradigm may suffice to demonstrate who is at fault. International aggression is worse than domestic crime because the threat is so much greater and there is no policeman to act as protector."
