Abstract
The paper examines five articles and their fiscal, sovereign, environmental and social perspectives of free trade. The paper is of the opinion that investors are fundamentally concerned with profit and not on developing emerging economies. The paper claims that despite the rhetoric to the contrary, there is little being addressed in terms of socioeconomic issues that negatively affect trade partners.
From the Paper
"The debate around world trade is a much discussed topic in the news and society at large. In studying the issues as presented in the five articles discussed, it becomes clear that there are a number of perspectives including fiscal, sovereign, environmental, and social. Each perspective has merit; however the perspectives are not autonomous but rather interdependent and there seems to be a divide that exists between those who discuss fiscal issues versus those who discuss social issues."

Abstract
The paper discusses Austin's thesis that globalization has profoundly changed nursing ethics.

The paper comments on the strengths and weaknesses of the article.
Outline:
Key Ideas
Strengths and Weaknesses
Impact on My Thinking
From the Paper
"Austin's (2001) thesis is that globalization has profoundly changed nursing ethics because of the shift to a global frame of reference as opposed to an international one. We now live in a global community with entirely new issues from the past. As a result of living in a global village, we experience a new immediacy that essentially erases political borders. "We watch war, famine, epidemics, and the sufferings of the poor a continent away 'live' from our homes" (Austin, 2002, p. 2). Such immediacy changes the scope of our moral concern. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the implications of this alteration in the scope of moral concern."

Abstract

Outline:
Abstract
Critique
From the Paper
"In Chapter Five " America and Free Trade" the essential thesis of Friedman's argument reflects the notion of globalization and the way that America plays an exemplary role in this economic process. The author continually uses the free trade market to explain why outsourcing of jobs helps the overall global markets through a series of supply driven markets. Friedman is actively defining the way that the global market helps to invigorate competition within American markets, defining a large scale "community" of labor and trade that will mutually benefit both American and International economies (Friedman 225-228)."

Abstract
The paper discusses President Francois Mitterrand's social policies and maintains that these strategies created a foreign policy that separated France from an increasingly globalized world setting. The paper demonstrates how his policy did not reflect an accurate awareness of the requirements of the population within France and the conditions influencing international relations.
Outline:
Introduction
Criticism of Socialism
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Francois Mitterrand intermittently controlled France as the country's President between 1981 through 1995. Mitterrand was aggressively determined to restructure many major aspects of France's infrastructure, including changes to what Mitterrand perceived to be economic and social disparity among citizens from different classes (Brooks, 1987). While Mitterrand's idea of a centrist society was commendable, the strategies that he put into effect suggested a lack of foresight and a willingness to engage in social reform without full recognition of its impact on both the people of France and France's role within foreign policy on a global scale."

Abstract
The paper relates that, for companies to survive in today's marketplace, it is almost essential that they spread their resources overseas. The paper explores whether it is always in the best interest of corporations to seek-out a foreign workforce and whether outsourcing, in general, is a beneficial course for modern society. The paper concludes that outsourcing may possibly improve the lives of foreign workers, while it definitively improves the prospects of American corporations and harms the American worker.
From the Paper
"Globalization is a modern business phenomenon. For companies to survive in today's marketplace it is almost essential that they spread their resources overseas: "By assessing the relative and risks of making or buying, companies can leverage their skills and resources for increased profitability Outside of the United States opportunities exist for cheaper means of production, labor, and even customer service" (Quinn, 1995). Today, multinational companies are more important than at any time in the past. Your typical product, whether it is automobiles or army men, is manufactured in different locations all across the planet."

Abstract
The paper discusses the market strategies of Boeing and Airbus and how the EU has assisted Airbus' international performance. The paper shows how the aircraft manufacturing and airline industry are intricately dependent on each other. The paper provides a SWOT analysis of both Boeing and Airbus. The paper concludes that although the EU may operate in line with Boeing's vision of the airline industry, national pride within the EU will ensure that Airbus and its A380 has a presence in its major airports.
Outline:
Overview
The European Union
The Aircraft Industry
Boeing
Airbus
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The civilian aircraft industry, in spite of its sheer domination by only two major competitors, Boeing and Airbus, is a hugely competitive industry with billions of dollars at stake annually. Airbus alone experienced revenues in 2004/2005 of E22.3b while Boeing, for the same period, took in 55% of the total market value of passenger jet orders ("Airbus" pars.5-12). The increasingly open and fractured market across the European Union (EU) has also created a raft of opportunities for both these aircraft manufacturers to capitalize on. However, because of the market strategies that each aircraft manufacturer has taken, Boeing would seem to have an operating advantage in the short term within the EU although nationalistic tendencies may prevent Boeing from capitalizing on its advantage."
