Challenges to the World Economy
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing short-term economic challenges. The still-emerging world economy ultimately will be managed online in some manner, whether via the Internet or over a series of intranets. Western Europe has simplified business there with the creation of the monetary union and a common currency. Shipping is becoming more efficient as increasing numbers of the world's ports privatize operations and become greatly more efficient. The primary challenges that exist now relate to still-emerging markets and whether we will give any attention to sustainable development. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Coal Plant-Generated Environmental Problems
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Environmental degradation comes in all forms, is emitted by myriad sources, and continues to worsen with every passing year. Determining how to deter this perpetuation and where to start such an overwhelming project often leads lawmakers directly to manufacturing plants that discharge massive amounts of air pollutants, with mercury emissions from the coal industry at the top of this list. In Missouri alone, two plants in particular bring to mind questionable levels of mercury excretion and the damage such discharge is doing to the surrounding environment: Southwest Power Station (0.0214920, plant; 1.2037, state) and James River Power Station, which emits 0.0214920 and 0.0231980, respectively, when compared with the overall state emission amount of 1.2037. The writer discusses coal plants and environmental pollutants. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Coastal Development: Too Costly?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Coastal development used to exist in tandem with the environment; in recent years, it has not only spread dramatically but it has also begun to work against the fragile land. The costs associated with this ceaseless growth are not merely monetary in nature, but rather a combination of economic and environmental expenditure as coastal development inherently damages myriad commodities employed by both man and animal. As a means by which to address this situation, the writer discusses how the concept of sustainable development has been suggested in order to offset the majority of future coastal degradation. However, critics wonder if such a concept possible, given the fact that continued development of any kind will still pose an environmental threat to many coastal locations. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Cognitive Dissonance And Environmental Ethics
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. People often need a reason to abide by a less popular theory, given the fact that human beings place a great deal of stock into the concept of consistency; when attitudes or beliefs do not conform to the accepted standard, one might begin to feel out of place. Such is the case with cognitive dissonance theory, a psychological approach that contends "there is a tendency for individuals to seek consistency among their cognitions" (Cognitive Dissonance #2). Applying this particular theory to the encouragement of environmental ethics within big business, one can readily surmise that the only way in which to offset the common practice of spewing pollutants is to: reduce the importance of the dissonant beliefs; add more consonant beliefs that outweigh the dissonant beliefs; or change the dissonant beliefs so that they are no longer inconsistent. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
