Americas Self-Made Man : A 5 page paper
discussing just
what the American Dream is. It has nearly always been
measured in terms of wealth, but not necessarily in terms of
dollars. The self-made man of Ben Franklins time was not a
success only in terms of money, but in terms of life. Money
was the rewardnot the goal. The American Dream is still
alive, but it has been replaced in the eyes of many by a sham, by
that counterfeit that says that money is the only true measure of
the worth of a man. The pity is that money can be lost;
character remains. Those with little character but great sums
can completely lose themselves when the money is lost.

A Short Demographic Analysis Pertaining To Education In
Georgia : A 6 page paper discussing some of the uses of
demographic studies, but focusing more on a demographic
analysis of regions of Georgia based on data collected in the
1990 census, comparing the striated regions of the state with
each other according to state averages. Assuming that all other
conditions remain the same, it is reasonable to forecast trends
indicated by demographic studies. Georgia education data is
compared to that of the US as a whole, but the paper points out
the problems inherent in comparing some categories, such as
high school by grade vs did not complete high school.

Census 2000 : 5 pages in length. Determining the
number of
people who live in the country -- or on the planet, for that matter
-- has significantly more to do with merely establishing a
numeric representation of how many physical bodies inhabit the
various regions; indeed, the implications of census figures
directly correlate with such issues as economic funding,
political representation and how society functions as a whole.
For these reasons, it is imperative that the Census 2000 be as
accurate as possible, inasmuch as the figures compiled from the
April, 2000 count will set in motion the extent to which how
well people will be supported. The writer discusses issues
surrounding Census 2000, as well as offers possible ways to
administer the survey. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Non-English Speaking Background (NESB) Immigration
Women in the Australian Workforce : A 10 page paper in
which the writer provides an overview of the problem and
research surrounding the issue of NESB. Critics have suggested
that large populations of non-English speaking background
(NESB) unemployed overburden the welfare and social security
systems, and in their attempts to enter the workforce, also strain
the country's remedial adult education programs. But in light of
maintained immigration levels over the past decade, the path
towards changing the negative perceptions of NESB immigrants
within the workforce is imbedded not only in a system designed
to enhance language skill development, but also to dispel the
myths related to their lack of skills and their long-term impacts
on the job market. Bibliography lists 3 sources. Nesb.wps

teaching history. Bibliography lists 7 sources. Childrac.wps
