Global Distribution Systems
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The technological revolution has
significantly impacted every aspect of commerce, inasmuch as business is routinely transacted upon the Internet. In order to accommodate the vast changes and difficulties associated with online commerce, certain issues have had to be addressed; resolving these issues has been instrumental in a smooth transition from brick-and-mortar operations to those who have taken up residence upon the World Wide Web. The travel industry is a prime example of how certain issues had to be addressed before the Internet was going to become a profitable venture. Enter the global distribution system (GDS), a method of operation that provides online distribution, marketing and sales tools to travel professionals throughout the world. One can readily surmise that without the implementation of global distribution systems, every factor of travel � hotels, car rentals, etc. � would not be nearly as accessible as they are today. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Globalization has Created Two Worlds, Not One
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page
report discusses the idea that globalization at the start of the
21st century has proven itself to actually have created two
worlds rather than one. What has also shown itself as
commonplace is the fact that the �haves� have significantly more
than the �have nots� and the gap that has always existed between
the two has widened into a nearly impassable canyon. While
economic globalization has had an impact on people around the
world so has the globalization of new ways of thinking,
producing, and traveling. The end results have not always been
positive. Nonetheless, great potential still exists and
globalization is integrated will determine the future of
humanity. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Going into the 21st Century
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing some of the subjects that will be of great concern as we move into the 21st century. The three subjects addressed herein are technology, medicine, and international relations. Each of these three areas of concern are of great importance and while there are many other areas that will also change and readjust to a new era, these areas of concern are perhaps the most obvious and most influential to all people concerned. The 21st century is hinting at being a time of great changes and occurrences. Times have changed drastically in only a few decades, and there is little doubt that changes and advancements have been occurring far faster this past century than perhaps, in any other century known to mankind. Technology, medicine, and international relations have always proven to be the most advancing, and the coming of the 21st century will prove this fact even further. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
