Ethical Principles in “Tears of the Giraffe”
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing this novel by Alexander Smith in terms of principles of ethics in general, but specifically those involving health care. The bottom-line message is that there are certain basic rights that individuals should be able to expect in their lives, but that are not always made available to them.

Ethiopia
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. The reason for choosing Ethiopia as a focus for agricultural economics is because there exists an inherent presence for failure when the people are either provided with imported food or given the opportunity to grow their own supplies. The extent to which this dichotomy continues to exist in spite of extraordinary measures makes this country particularly interesting to examine; as well, the tens of thousands – and even millions – of Ethiopians who have and continue to die due to agriculturally related issues renders this a topic about which everyone should care.

Ethiopian Women: The Adverse Impacts of Culture and Economics
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page discussion of the many hardships faced by Ethiopian women as a result of their culture and the harsh economic realities of life in Ethiopia.

Many women, in fact, are forced into the industry of prostitution.

Features of the Multiple Heritage of Africans
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the multiple heritage of Africans. Throughout Africa and countries where Africans live, the heritage of the African people has been influenced by a great many factors due to slavery, colonization, religion and aspects of the African continent itself. Africans for years relied on a religion and lifestyle which was based on the enormity and diversity of their continent and because it was surrounded by water were relatively well protected from outside influences. During the era of colonization however, a great many Western influences came into Africa affecting the land and the people. The Africans were enslaved by Westerners, the Arab world and in many cases, members of other tribes. The Arabs introduced the religion of Islam while the Europeans introduced the religion of Christianity which were both infused into the traditional African religions. Today, Africans have a multiple, or triple heredity based on these three influences and despite the conflict which also ensued by the introduction of other factors which followed with colonization and slavery, have been successful in adapting to this multiple heredity.

Global Justice & Women/Issue of FGM
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page research paper that addresses female genital mutilation (FGM) as an ongoing global justice issue pertaining to women. Throughout the globe, women are still discriminated against and are cast into the role of second-class citizens, but on a more basic level, women -- worldwide-- are routinely the victims of institutionally sanctioned violence. In other words, it is considered "normal" to beat women, use them as little more than beasts of burden and mutilate their bodies -- all in the name of male dominance and privilege. In examining this issue, the most compelling issue of global justice in regards to women concerns the most basic of human rights, the right to body integrity. In the name of "chastity" and "purity" -- and despite new laws and UN prohibitions -- the practice of female genital mutilation is still ongoing in numerous countries. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Globalization: Political Challenges For Africa
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. The challenges for Africa inherent to the concept of globalization are both grand and far-reaching. Inasmuch as African economic existence relies heavily upon farming and exports the dawning of globalization threatens to make such conventional practices obsolete. According to economists, globalization and the movement toward an information economy heavily dependent on knowledge-based products threatens to see Africa's already tenuous position in the global economy deteriorate further. That Africa's economy depends upon locally produced commodities, such as vanilla, sugar, cocoa and palm oil, speaks to the aspect of modernized techniques that are being developed as a means by which to create such commodities faster, cheaper and within laboratories or non-traditional environments.
