...globalization,'' a process that allows reducing geographical constraints on social and cultural processes in which individuals are increasingly aware of this." There is currently no state or part of the world that does not import or export workforce. During the 20th Century the migration process developed significantly. In this period, Romania was predominantly a country of emigration and still is. Acording to some sources, by 1914, a large number of people decided to cross the Atlantic Ocean, most focusing on the U.S. and Canada, the rest of them going to Argentina and Brazil. The presence of Romanian immigrants in the U.S. can be very well demonstrated; the first Romanian immigrants in the present-day country’s territory is attested by the names of the soldiers participating in the union army during the war of secession. It was a massive voluntary migration, with a temporary character, as the Romanian emigrants hoped that they would earn more...

The pediment is flanked by two carved wooden acroteria. The mural paintings along the interior walls depict artistic representations of a menorah, vegetal motifs, lions, Stars of David, the Ten Commandments and a fortress, probably a romantic depiction of Jerusalem. During Ceauşescu’s dictatorship, the Trust helped dissidents keep in touch with western academic thought; and by alerting the world to his plan to bulldoze Romania’s rural architecture, it played a part in saving hundreds of villages from destruction. After his death, the Trust turned its attention to the country’s cultural revival and rural regeneration. The Trust concentrates on the Saxon villages of Transylvania, a special case because of the age and richness of their past and the emergency caused by the mass emigration of the Saxon inhabitants to Germany in 1990, leading to the abandonment of many of their houses and a loss of awareness of the value of their heritage. These villages – farmers’ houses and barns built around fortified churches, substantially unchanged since the Middle Ages – lie in spectacularly beautiful surroundings, rich in wild flowers. Wolves, bears and wild boar roam...

...Baldwin Page 2 Bram Stoker’s Dracula “Vampires,” fascinating creatures of the night. They roam the night portraying themselves as members of society. Their appeal is ever so alluring and lustful, yet beautiful, bone chilling evil. Our very souls are at risk for eternal damnation to be devoured and consumed by these evil creatures. The risk of eternal life consumes the imagination of men and women alike. Bram Stoker, author of Dracula could not have foreseen the magnitude of fascination of that which he created. The question that plagues the minds of Dracula enthusiasts is the Romanian Slavic ruler “Vlad Tepes”, the mysterious Dracula. As we are introduced to Dracula in the novel, Jonathan Harker is dropped off at the front door of the mansion belonging to the frightful Count Dracula, by whom he is employed. It is already late and the wolves are howling in the background. Jonathan Harker feels a chill up his spine as he knocks on the massive wooden doors. Moments pass and the door is answered by Dracula himself. “Welcome to my house! Enter freely and of your own free will.” (Dracula p.22) As we are introduced to this character Dracula, death fills the air. It is Harker’s interpretation of the handshake that he receives, which he describes as cold, dead steel. As the story develops it is obvious how he...

...Cyber-Crime Trends Melody Ann Lovelace CJA570 October 10, 2011 Ray Gagne Cyber-Crime Trends In the dawn of the 21st century, the evolution of new technology and science concepts have made changes to everyone’s daily life. Cyber-crimes are a creature that did not exist 15-plus years ago. Back in the day, before technology, were only the conventional crimes such as illegal behaviors people thought were criminal behaviors. However, in today’s time an individual must be extremely careful because not only are people combating traditional crimes but cyber-crimes as well. Cyber-crimes are the newest and most complicated crimes for the new century. A cyber crime is an individual conducting actions such as disrupting communications and devices, disrupting networks, Internet, and telephone; both landlines and mobile. Individuals of various ages are committing cyber crimes because these types’ crimes are easier to commit than the traditional kidnapping, murder, or human trafficking. According to Parthasarati (n. d.), cyber criminals fall into one of four categories or groups including children and adolescents between ages six to 18, organized hackers, professional hackers/crackers, and the discontent employee(s). The child or adolescent will partake in such behaviors to prove his or her self superior or outstanding over other individual in his or her age group. The organized hacker will want to fulfill objectives such as political bias and fundamentalism to name a couple. The professional...

...in power by Caesar. By it means, people had much interest in him, and he was served in people’s favor. One fact that he is well known for many of his work in the beginning of Roman empire, I was driven to his life and accomplishments. “At a time when the whole world is still facing after-war prob-lems of rehabilitation, material and spiritual, and in the bewilder-ment of chaos needs light from every source, it occurred to me that it would be of value to review the great period of Roman reconstruction, the Augustan age, to see if from the problems it faced, its solutions and its failures, any suggestions might appear for reconstruction today.” (Haight 335) History of Augustus is a great source even now. We can learn from the mistakes, especially in achievements and successful cases are perfect examples to repeat from the history. Now, I want to introduce the great Augustan period of reconstruction and Golden age for the...

...The History of the Goths by Jordanes depicts the epic story of the Goths. Since his youth he had devoted himself to writing history in Latin and also to work with Germanic tribes. Very little is known about him, although he worked as a secretary to "the Master of the Soldiery" of an Ostrogothic clan. He mainly spent all of this time on Gothic research because he believed that he was a Goth. The events that he wrote about happened between the 3rd and 5th century was written in about 550 A.D. It is a novel designed for the public consumption. Jordanes wrote the work as a summary of Cassiodorus, a longer history of the treatment of the Goths, because Cassiodorus' book no longer exists. Geographical, United Goths, Visigoths, and Ostrogoths were the four parts his novel was...

...I learned from my mother’s first hand experiences that gun control does not lead to positive outcomes. My mother was born and raised in a Communist Romania where guns were taken from the citizens in order to disable them; in order to take their power away. The guns were ceased by the government to ensure that the people did not have the means to retaliate. After the gun confiscation the Romanian people were left helpless and oppressed. They could only stand by and watch as those who spoke out against the government were put into “re-education” camps, taken away never to be seen again, or killed. Romania wasn't the first country to use this tactic against their citizens. Country after country has used gun control to manipulate and oppress their people. Through my mothers unimaginable experiences with a corrupt government I was able to learn the importance of being armed and I was taught to value my second amendment right. America is special, we have rights that other people can only dream of. We can’t take these rights for granted and we have to learn from history. If people observed history they would realize that gun control is a step toward confiscating weapons, and confiscating weapons is a step towards...

...countries that are very competitive in the skilled manual labour. This makes them a very attractive location for large corporations to outsource low, medium and sometimes even high levels of production. Multi-national firms can take advantage of cheap labour, high level of technical competence, and excellent infrastructure in these three nations. The Central Eastern European countries are part of the expanding Europe and the countries that fall within this area have opened up many opportunities for multi-national Firms. Many of these countries have recently joined the European Union and NATO have made formidable alliance and agreements that boost their investment opportunity value. History: Poland is a large country with a long and distinguished history. (Europe Global Studies, pg. 48) Poland's history as a state begins near the middle of the 10th century. By the mid-16th century, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth ruled a vast tract of land in central and Eastern Europe. During the 18th century, internal disorders weakened the nation, and in a series of agreements between 1772 and 1795, Russia, Prussia, and Austria partitioned Poland among themselves, thus by the 1800, Poland had “disappeared” from the map of Europe. (Europe Global Studies, pg. 48) However Polish culture did stand strong and nationalism was always high, due to this the nobility spread and three empires worked on...

IV. Why it’s illegal * Early 1900s, the western states developed tensions regarding Mexican-Americans. Once the differences were settled, it was revealed that the Mexicans were taking the plants with them and smoking it, which was when California passed the law outlawing “preparations of hemp or loco weed.” * The first state law was not only influenced by Mexicans smoking it, but Mormons as well. * Other states followed stating that once a Mexican uses the drug, they have a state of mind where they are the “mayor of Mexico” and out to execute all of their political enemies.” In Texas, a senator said that “all Mexicans are crazy...

Watching half of my classmates applying in foreign universities and many of my friends and family choosing to live abroad in order to have “better life” made me wonder what the reasons behind the migrations are. I was interested in the scientific explanation behind the migration processes. This paper gave me the opportunity to understand the incentives behind people’s decisions and the main reasons, pushing people from our own country. And even if I didn’t choose the case of Spain for my topic it...
