A Decade Of Downfall: The Industrial And Financial Self-Destruction Of The American Automobile Industry Through 2009, Max Samuel Ellenbogen
Senior Projects Spring 2016
This paper examines the developments that lead up to the government bailout of General Motors and Chrysler in 2009. The purpose is to examine and discover the historical, industrial and financial factors that drove American cars into the ground.

The American big business techniques built a manufacturing empire, differentiated the US from the foreigners and then weakened the long-term development of the automotive industry. Financialization became a support in an …

The challenges facing the American health care system are well known and manifold. The United States pays substantially more for its health care than any other developed, industrialized nation. Per capita health care spending in 2012 was $8,745, up from $356 in 1970 without marked improvements in life expectancy, quality of life, or outcomes.

Ultimately, this study discovers that for those methods to work, there needs to be more structure …

Honors Theses
For centuries, Europe has been the leader in fashion production and innovation. At the heart of this continent lies the fashion capital of the world—France. French designers have always been on the cutting edge of fashion. Setting trends, shocking consumers, and enticing the world have been normal everyday activities for them as if it is in their blood. French culture is much more daring and open about sexuality in comparison to American culture, however, American designers and retailers are still heavily influenced by French fashion designs.

Will There Be A Free Trade Area Of The Americas (Ftaa) By The Year 2005?, Tara Mccaffrey
Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios
Last December's Summit of the Americas consolidated the new convergence of values between the U.S. and Latin Americas and set out an ambitious action plan.

It is also the philosophy which most powerfully supports the profound democratic …
