Abstract
According to sociologists, since the 1970s, market-based economic policies have been institutionalized as a nearly global policy paradigm embodying first, liberalism, and later, neo-liberalism. The purpose of this report is to discuss the theories of liberalism and neo-liberalism in studying international politics and to identify the limitations of these approaches.
From the Paper
"In neoliberalism, which developed in the final decades of the twentieth century, a set of economic principles became part of the accepted framework for thinking about and acting upon both the economy and the relations of states to one another. Neoliberalism assumed that a positive outcome both economically and politically would be generated through a wave of reforms ? privatizations, dismantling of social welfare programs, the retreat of the state from economic regulation, tax cuts, and the opening of national boundaries."

Abstract
This paper examines the book, "Liberated Parents, Liberated Children: Your Guide to a Happier Family", by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish, which discusses their experiences attending a series of parent workshops given by child psychologist, Dr. Ginott. It looks at how its approach to parenting appears to be very simplistic in nature: do not control your children, but rather respect them for their individuality and uniqueness. It discusses how punishment is not an effective tool for establishing a trusting relationship, nor is a power trip, or being too protective or defensive. It shows how an adversarial relationship with a child will normally escalate or deteriorate as he/she gets older and becomes more defensive and less intimidated.
From the Paper
"Similarly, a child?s autonomy need not threaten a parent. Dr. Ginott saids, ?We help most by not helping.? How many parents are afraid of what will happen if their children fail? If their school project is not perfect or if their hair is sticking up or they wear clothes that are wrinkled? The problem is that the parents? self-esteem is so wrapped up in their children?s success or failure that it is taken as a personal affront. If the son a daughter does not make the team or get invited to a party, it is as if the parent did not make the grade. The child who is better prepared for the future is the one who has to remember to return his/her books to the library, finish a homework assignment or even makes the same mistake over again."

?Liberated Parents, Liberated Children?, 2004.
A review of the parenting book, "Liberated Parents, Liberated Children: Your Guide to a Happier Family", by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish.

Abstract
This paper examines how authors Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish wrote their counter-cultural book, "Liberated Parents, Liberated Children: Your Guide to a Happier Family", regarding tips and tactics for parents to use as they raised children before the term ?counter-cultural? had become politically correct. It looks at how, in 1974, when the majority of children were being raised under the questionable, permissive advice of Dr. Spock, these authors focused on another aspect of child rearing. It looks at how they were significantly influenced by child psychologist Haim Ginott ,who believed that it was the emotional well-being of the child that would guide his actions.
From the Paper
"This differentiation between giving of ourselves to our children, and giving ourselves over to our children is the delicate line which Mazlish and Faber walk throughout their book as they discuss skills for parents to learn to build emotionally balanced and self-secure children. The approach which encourages parents to remain in their authority role in the child?s life, as well as equips the parent to connect with the child?s feeling is the element of this book which sets it apart from other works. Dr. Spock taught parents to reason with their children rather than correct them. By doing so, the well intentioned doctor instructed parents to abdicate an important role in their children?s development, which is the role of authority to which the child is accountable."

Media Giants & The Developing World, 2006.
A discussion regarding the role of Western multimedia giants in the developing world.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper considers the potential positive or negative contributions that media giants have made in the developing world. The paper discusses how Western media giants have made overall positive contributions to the developing world and that the potential for the media to act as the broadsword of cultural imperialism is clear. Nonetheless, in the process of advancing their own agendas, media giants have inadvertently though sometimes purposefully helped promote positive values and development in the Third World.
From the Paper
"Transnational media corporations, such as Time Warner, Disney, and Google, have made dubious contributions to the developing world. There is a significant debate over whether or not the media has had a positive or negative effect upon Third World development. Proponents of capitalism and open trade argue that the media has worked to promote communication, provide new outlets for culture, and even assist in the democratization process of developing nations. Opponents of globalization and the media's role in it, however, argue the opposite. They would suggest that multimedia giants should not have free reign in the developing world. Their presence there amounts to cultural imperialism by the West. "

Abstract
This paper discusses Coskun Samli's book "Up Against the Retail Giants". The paper explains that the book that is written for the smaller business person who needs to realize that he or she is entering a market that is dominated by real giants like Wal-Mart, Costco, and Home Depot. The paper looks at how the book emphasizes that the business person needs to have a strong sense of reality, know the nature of the market, and develop a clear strategy for addressing the disparity between the small company and the large.
From the Paper
"Indeed, Samli begins with a consideration of the nature of retailing and of ideas that empower the retailer and attract and keep customers. The process of managing a retail outlet is depicted here as a matter of strategy development, which also means giving the retail establishment certain distinguishing features enabling consumers to identify the company as well as to be attracted to it. However, as Samli also points out, the distinguishing features alone could drive consumers away as well as attracting them."

Abstract
This paper discusses the five largest media companies in the world, their significant market share and the fact that each company owns several divisions within each market. This paper takes a look at the shrinking global economy due to the simplicity of travel, product distribution and improved technology and communication.
From the Paper
"Giants in a global economy, the world is virtually shrinking because of the ease of travel, distribution and improved communication. It is no wonder companies have grown to the extent they have, regardless of the industry in which they participate. Trade barriers are slowly breaking down and many countries, which have not done so in the past, are now importing and exporting their goods as well as their companies. Of course, they have not done this without opposition from their home countries and the individuals who live there, but when they move out another company will move in. Perhaps one company that immigrates will actually be better suited for the country and its workforce as well as provide improved benefits."

Abstract
This essay takes a look into the life of Francois Rabelais and into his book "Gargantua and Pantagruel". Specifically, the focus is on the idea of the curse as mentioned in the book. The curse is that Christians are free and yet they are enslaved.

From the Paper
"The book contains the story of the birth and upbringing of a giant child, Gargantua, and illustrates the author?s views on bad education (Medieval) and good education (Renaissance), and how an ideal humanist leader should behave.

The Two Liberalisms, 2002.
This paper discusses the two liberalisms.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Liberalism is a political philosophy that stresses individual liberty, freedom and the equality of opportunity. It has always tended to place its faith in human progress. There ultimately became two liberalisms: the first liberalism of the 18th and 19th century, and the second liberalism of the 19th and 2Oth century. The first liberalism was the classical liberalism developed in Europe in the 18th century, characterized by a rational critique of traditional institutions and a distrust of state power over individuals, and of interference in the economy. The second liberalism was modern liberalism, which accepted state interference in the economy and society for the sake of nurturing individual freedom and equality.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper states that liberalism is a subject on which people have varying views and one which some philosophers and interest groups support. The paper then continues and discusses how other thinkers and individuals find liberalism to be lacking. This is either because liberalism, in their opinion, is flawed or they simply find that liberalism does not meet their personal needs. The paper specifically discusses Karl Marx's critique on liberalism, explaining that it is based on his understanding of the position of the economically deprived. Moreover, the paper compares Marx's views on liberalism with those of Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, as well as the views on liberalism that might be held by a religious person. The paper concludes that liberalism seems to be a good system of government for the present time, and while liberalism may not always be the best system of government, it seems be the best option for present day society.
From the Paper
" Marx believes that these fears move the wheels of society. This view varies from Hobbes, who believes that humans' fear and vulnerability is what makes all of us equal. Marx also firmly believes that in the modes of production there are many inequalities. Marx attests that inequalities are due to fact that the individual is kept un-free in capitalistic, money-driven societies. "This realm of natural necessity expands with his development, because his needs do too; but the productive forces to satisfy these expand at the same time". In this type of system Marx believes there is no need for humans to possess any kind of individuality, and that all creative forces are quashed. Marx again traces this back to the idea that capitalism has no need for the masses to possess any kind of individuality. Instead, he asserts that capitalism not only causes, but also encourages, the masses to be constantly producing. Marx gives an example of the concept of mass production; the example he offers is the assembly line. Marx also believes that the Capitalist's main goal is to take as much surplus value from labor as they possible can. Marx basically does not find liberalism to be a good system because he does not agree with the capitalistic system and he does not think that work defines human beings. He asserts that what one does to economically support him- or herself and family should not define the individual as a person, but the mere fact of being an individual human being should be what defines each member of society separately and uniquely. This is because Marx believes that individuals are not free and do not choose their jobs. This means that individuals are defined by not-choosing. Also, jobs are just a means to an economic end, and human creativity should instead be the end. In a capitalist government, the state enslaves the individual to his or her job and controls the person through it."

Liberalism: Past and Present, 2004.
Examines a 1764 pamphlet on the ideas of liberalism and shows how these ideas differ from the concept of liberalism today.

Abstract
Liberalism has always encompassed the basic premise that individuals are fundamentally free. The political concept of liberalism has gone through some changes over the centuries, but the philosophical concept of liberalism has remained mostly unaltered. The paper shows that the ways in which liberal ideas were put into practice during the infancy of American civilization are illustrated through a widely acclaimed pamphlet written by Governor Stephen Hopkins and published by William Goddard, entitled ?The Rights of Colonies Examined.? This pamphlet was put into publication on December 22, 1764, and consecutive editions ran in 1765 and 1766. The paper explains that the pamphlet was written in response to the imposed Revenue Act of 1764, as well as a proposed Stamp Act, which would have only caused undue economic burdens on the American colonies. The paper shows, therefore, that the liberalism expressed at this point of history is different from contemporary liberalism, both politically and practically.
From the Paper
"The pamphlet argued that the equal privileges and rights held by those in America are held as ?inherent indefeasible rights?, and as free-born subjects, are naturally entitled to rights outlined in the British Constitution. However, the author suggested that the liberty situation among the American colonies seems to be changing for the worst. It was explained how the British ministry, for some unknown reason, had passed an act that limited and hindered trade of the American colonies, and also resolved that taxes, including a duty on stamps, was necessary. This was seen as undermining the principles of liberty the colonies, as well as the British constitution, were built upon."

Abstract
This paper begins by providing a definition of the terms 'liberal', 'conservative' and 'libertarianism', using the definitions from Dr. Paul Johnson's "Glossary of Political Economy Terms" as a basis. The writer defines each of the terms and then explains why liberalism is superior. The writer maintains that the liberal philosophy lives by one word, balance. Further, the writer notes that there are balances in the fields of cooperation and competition on every level, between private and public institutions and primarily in the rights and needs of the individual compared to the demands of the entire society. The writer concludes that the dreams of the ordinary man are to be free to live and have enough so that the pursuit of happiness can become an actual reality.
Outline:
Why Liberalism is Superior
Alternative Stances
Values
Beliefs
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Liberals tend to emphasize individual rights over governmental authority and to leave the economy alone, unless it needs help. More and more, the economy has been controlled by conservative elements and this has tended to squelch free trade and put too many regulations on imports, while allowing special interests avenues of squeezing more revenue out of the citizens by legalizing higher interest rates, putting tariffs on imports, freezing influx of cheap labor even while raising private profits by raising prices (such as for gas) and shipping manufacturing out of the country to where free labor resides."
"Where conservatives have traditionally believed in the superiority of the ruling class, today in the United States they have concentrated power and money into smaller numbers of people, corporations and bureaus, and the government is used to protect those interests."
