- ... 30 billion ECU (and often more) was spent in the buying up of surplus commodities at minimum official prices and was also used to pay subsidies to traders to sell surpluses on the lower-priced world markets. (5) During the 1960's the price system was devised. The first problem with price policies is that of fluctuating and differing exchange rates. “Green Money” was the first solution to be developed to ... This maintains a minimum market price level. Variable import levies were used to bring imports up to the threshold price and export refunds were used to remove the difference between the common market price and world price.

They can sometimes generate revenues and funds for the central ... levy shrinks imports and losses to the consumer and efficiency are usually caused. Producer returns can fluctuate more wildly.

- 3063: The Preponderant Lysistrata
- ... Lysistrata proves that the men of Sparta and Athens characterize women’s roles and importance in an unjust way. Lysistrata proves women are just as capable as men are when it comes to ending a war, even though the women may do so in a deceitful and unpopular manner. Lysistrata believes the men need some “good sound common-sense” (page 712, line 422-3) to make a peace treaty to end the Peloponnesian War. The first step in proving the women’s intelligence and superiority is for Lysistrata, who is acting as the leader behind the entire operation, to find a common ground between all men to unite them in peace to end the war. All of the Spartan and Athenian men do have one strong tie in common that is highly important to them in this time period. This commonality is their sexual relationship with their wives. Lysistrata ...

In particular, the medium of virtual reality, "an artificial world that 'feels' real, that responds to your every move much as the real world does (Lavroff 1992, 7)," is examined. To achieve this end we will be looking at the definitions of virtual reality, the technology behind virtual reality, a survey of virtual reality, including it's history, present ... reality." His research has an artistic and psychological slant and is thus reflected in the following definition: "An artificial reality perceives a participant's action in terms of the body's relationship to a graphic world and generates responses that maintain the illusion that his actions are taking place within that world" (Krueger 1991, 59). In Krueger's artificial reality, art and science become interrelated, and the viewer interacts with ...
- 3065: The Alchemist
- "That's the principle that governs all things. In alchemy, it's called the Soul of the World. When you want something with all your heart, that's when you are closest to the Soul of the World. It's always a positive force" (80). Anything I've ever wanted to happen bad enough, there has always been a way for me to achieve that goal. Or an alternative that could be more beneficial appears. Except, I wouldn't quite call it the Soul of the World. I'd call it the will of God. Both Santiago in "The Alchemist" and the priest's son in "The Water's of Babylon" worked with the Soul of the World or the will ...

In his religious studies, he happened upon Leo Tolstoy’s Christian writings, and was inspired.

What Ghandi did in terms of opening the minds of the people of India is almost ...

If the Beatles wore a particular coat or shirt, grew a moustache, openly adopted the use of drugs or questioned religion, the whole of the rock world would do the same. If they took a guru or abandoned one, gave peace a chance or even did it in the road (Abbey Road), the world of rock took notice and did the same, tried to do the same or just wanted to do the same. The origin of the phenomenon that became the Beatles can be traced back to ...
- 3068: Annexation Of The Phillipians
- In my opinion The United States ordeal with Annexing the Philippines and the idea that we had of going into war with them was great mistake and should have been avoided. The Filipinos and Americans were deadlocked in war with each other. This all became a controversy with the two nations in 1898 when the Treaty of Paris between Spain and the United Stated ceded all seven thousand islands of the Philippine archipelago to ... if we would have maybe let some of the well respected citizens in our great nation to speak their opinions and if the government would have listened to the that maybe we could have evaded war and ended our struggle with the Filipinos peacefully.

- 3070: The Catcher In The Rye- A Stud
- ... Salinger constructs a shocking reality, populated by phonies and bursting with falsities- a reality that is all too real. The Catcher in the Rye is the story of a young man's understanding of the world he lives in, and the things he encounters (Lomazoff 3). This work is similar to other famous and influential works of the same nature. For example, Maxwell Geismar sums up the novel as an eminently ... presents in brief compass all then petty horrors, the banalities, the final mediocrity of the American prep school (Geismar 195). Holden can not understand the purgatory of Pency prep, and futilely escapes from one dark world into darker world of New York City.
