... U.S. was still undeveloped and there was little
of no means of transport, distribution or communication. Eventually certain type
of manufactures thought of the idea of bypassing wholesalers, retailers and
using catalogs. Mail orders and pamphlets appeared around the 1870's. Late in
the 19th century many American firms began to market packaged goods under brand
names. Previously consumers had not been aware of or influenced by brand names.

brands came out and they were Ivory, Pears, Sapolio, Colgate, Kirks American
Family and Packer's. Not long after brands such as Royal baking powder, Qua ...

Foreign 'Aid'?
... four billion from the
International Monetary Fund. This amounts to almost half of all the foreign
aid received by Zaire between 1970 and 1994. Amazingly, the IMF was well
aware of the expropriation of its funds, yet continued to lend Zaire money.
Why, we don't know. Mobutu used most of this money to buy lavish estates in
France and to establish huge secret bank accounts in Switzerland,
Luxembourg and elsewhere. He also kept himself in power through bribes and
by buying military support.
The US alone has spent over twenty billion dollars in the past
twenty years. Between surplus tax dollars and the money we would save from
not paying foreign aid, we could pay back ...

Advertising Analysis
... if they were on that hot dune, not to forget how hot and adhesive the liquid really is, when they are pouring the drink on eachother. The advertisement last for an estimate of 30 seconds. The advertisers created this advertisement very carefully because they filled the action of the scene with the feeling of a need for coca cola (their product).

Money Laundering
... anything can be done to prevent or
restrict laundering activities, and will then go on to conclude my findings.
Money laundering is the process by which criminals attempt to conceal the true
origin and ownership of the proceeds of their criminal activities. If they are
successful they can then maintain control over the proceeds and, so, provide a
legitimate cover for their source of income. J.D. Mclean defined money
laundering in the International Judicial Assistance as:
"Although the proceeds of crime will be kept as capital for further criminal
ventures, the sophisticated offender will wish to use the rest for other
purposes. If this is to done without ru ...

Marxism And Economic Theory
... paper will discuss three modern theories and
apply them to the English revolution of 1640. The first theory,
developed by Carl Marx (Marxism), will address the economic
evolution in English society. This theory will emphasize and explain
how the shift from a feudal/mercantile system to capitalism affected
English society. The second, called the Resource Mobilization Theory
(RMT) developed by Charles Tilly, will explain how the English
organizations (the Crown and the Parliament) effectively obtained,
amassed and managed resources. Samuel Huntington's, "Institutional
Theory", will argue that the existing govern ...

The Economics Of Drugs And Prostitution
... the necessary funds to feed their addiction. This means they must resort to illicit activities, such as theft, robbery and other crimes, in order to finance their drug habits. The rates of these and other crimes are maintained by the market for illegal drugs, and it via this process that this market has a significant and severe impact on all members of society, including non-drug users.
One way that our government attempts to combat the illegal drug problem is through the use of law enforcement measures. This means that organizations such as the RCMP, the Sûreté du Québec and Customs Canada take steps, such as seizures and arrests, in order to hinder and cripp ...

Minimum Wage Legislation
... minimum wage are
those unskilled workers who are currently employed. Minimum wage restricts
employment opportunities for the young, unexperienced, and those people with
educational disadvantages. They will continue to find themselves handicapped in
the job market as long as the minimum wage legislation remains in affect. In
society today the demand for "unskilled" workers is low and the supply is high,

it increases the supply o ...
