Banana Trade Wars
[ send me this paper ]
13 pages in length. Big business has long infiltrated the economically restricted world of independent merchants; once a product is deemed significant enough to warrant high profit for low investment, corporate heads begin to turn. Such is the case with the recent banana trade wars that have pitted large operations against small communities where banana production represents the sole method of survival. Clearly, at the crux of the banana trade wars resides the issue of money; however, the manner by which big corporations are virtually stripping certain societies of their only means of durability brings to light a much more important issue: ethics. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Bases for Persistent Income Discrepancies
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing possible reasons for the wide discrepancy of income levels in the US. Though there are many factors, much of the issue involves risk. As in the stock market, the higher the risk of a venture, the higher the return. Factory workers and teachers, notoriously low-paid, typically have assumed very little risk in their professions, while a pro sport star could suffer a career-ending injury at any time. There is no question that income levels in the US are absurdly skewed, but it also is fitting that those with the most to lose also see the greatest rewards. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
