NGOs in the Global Environment
[ send me this paper ]
This 4 page paper looks at the following quote and discusses it in the context of the role that non governmental organizations can play in the global environment. “Globalisation makes it imperative for NGOs to influence the shape and pattern of economic growth by mainstreaming the social virtues into market processes-trust, cooperation, equity and the preservation of the environment. Few are prepared for this task on the scale that will be required. They are struck in project delivery mode and beyond a few small scale contacts with corporations; they have little idea about how to reshape the costs and benefits of integrated markets”.

Our Evolving Party System: The Question of
Structure
[ send me this paper ]
(6 pp) There is no doubt, that the two
party system is in question. And while we fondly
call ourselves a democracy, the United States, is
actually a "representational" democracy instead of
a "direct" democracy. In other words, as we well
saw in the last presidential election we vote for
the people (the Electoral College) -who vote for
the people, rather than directly for the issue or
the person themselves. This discussion will
examine the fact, that we may change the party
system; but we will not change the democratic
process.
