Culture and Economics: The Lives of Ethiopian Women
[ send me this paper ]
A 13 page exploration of the economic and cultural factors which impact Ethiopian women. The welfare of Ethiopia’s rural women is of particular concern in that they represent the majority in Ethiopian society. These women have few economic options in life.

Such employment is largely nonexistent in Ethiopia and far too many women are forced into the industry of prostitution. This paper explores the options available to Ethiopia’s women and suggests that in order to changed the lives of these women we must address both Ethiopian culture and entrepreneurial options.

Democracy in Morocco
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page research paper that examines and discusses the progress of Morocco towards democracy. Beginning with his assumption of the throne in 1999 after the death of his father Hassan II, King Mohammed VI has attempted to implement democratic policies in Morocco; however, authoritarian habits are hard to eradicate (Pingree and Abend 15). Reform and change has come in "fits and starts," as the government has tried to institute real change while "clinging to oppressive practices" (Pingree and Abend 15). This examination of political commentary pertaining to the development of democracy in Morocco shows that while some progress has been made, the future of democratic governance in this country is problematic at best.
