Goldstein, J. S. (2003). War and Economic History. Retrieved January 29, 2008, from http://www.joshuagoldstein.com/jgeconhi.htm
Goldstein argues that the effects war can have on the economies of participating countries. They disrupt and change trade, and also drain countries of money and resources. Larger wars can send many countries into a depression or recession due to the amount of input sustaining a war costs. Many countries will then have to increase prices to try and balance their economies in order to prevent too much disruption in their economies. In other words, inflation is one of the biggest problems of war and is what America is seeing now. Capital depletion is another major issue when a country is at war, especially if they are fighting on their homeland. Bombing of cities and damage to people, resources, and supplies can cause famine and depress economic output. In many cases war can help an economy, such as WWII brought America out of the Great Depression. In some cases, conquest of another area or country can have great economic effects, but this rarely happens in the present day.

Hamilton, Sahni., Popkin, Barry., Deborah Spicer. (1984). Women and nutrition in third world countries. New York: Bergin & Garvey.
The authors explain the process, significance, and consequences of women’s health in third world countries. The writers mainly concentrate on their health, fitness, and proper nutrition during the reproductive years. The women’s dietary level continues to be harmed because of their vulnerability and lack of knowledge on healthy lifestyles. They find that women are not being considered as a high priority when viewing the nutritional status of individuals living in Sub-Sahara. They caution that between the demands of bearing a child and maintaining sufficient amounts of nutrients, the pregnant women are risking their lives, an action they do not have to experience if they were equipped with the right medicine.
Hawks, S (2001).Human Culture and the Global Epidemic of Obesity. Healthy Weight Journal. November/December, [85-88].
“Economic mode of production, social order, and beliefs” are some of the main concepts contributing to an obesity epidemic. Making food cheaper despite negative health concerns makes it easier to consume. Social status, based on wealth, would require individuals of higher class to consume more of these unhealthy foods increasing possibilities of obesity. Belief in many cultures that higher social status is based on wealth would make obesity just another trend to try and make it to the top.

The CIA and other government agencies are constantly fighting for the use of “torture” in the courtroom. The President and Attorney General have rules out some of the more intense methods used to interrogate, but a debate wages whether some are necessary to keep. An agreement has been made to allow seven methods of interrogation to remain in use, but no one outside the agencies themselves will know if that is being upheld or not.
Hofstrand, D (2007, March). Energy agriculture - corn ethanol. AgDM newsletter, Retrieved January, 2008, from http://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/articles/hof/HofMar07.html
Agriculture in the US is about to have an overhaul expanding to the corn ethanol industry. The production of ethanol will rise until the price of ethanol goes down, the price of corn goes up, or both occur. This overhaul will also increase the price of grain with a shortage of land to grow on. This will cause higher feed prices, which will trickle down to a higher cost for meats.
Hofstrand, D (2007, April). Energy agriculture - beyond corn ethanol. AgDM newsletter, Retrieved January, 2008, from http://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/articles/hof/HofApr07.html
Hofstrand claims we can make ethanol not only from corn, but also with less useful cornstalks, wheat straw, grasses, and trees, which are less threatening to the food and feed industries. Other alternatives to corn ethanol include corn butanol, which has a higher energy content, algae, which can be farmed at high rates in shallow pools, and possibly hydrogen in the further future.

Pacific countries are among the many who over time have steered from traditional food habits to more industrialized food habits. Colonies have migrated toward the city over the past decades since World War II where food being imported in is cheaper than that grown in the rural areas. Families’ income has decreased and housing has limited families from preparing traditional foods within the cities.

Isidore presents how the low cost of immigrant labor contributes to lower prices for the goods United States consumers enjoy. Andrew Sum, an economist, states, “Without the immigrants, we would have a decline in labor force of 3 to 4 percent.” Isidore also says that few economist will go against the idea that, “the economy is stronger for the presence of the low-cost labor.”

Isidore detailed how the United States has actually benefitted from the invasion of illegal immigrants, which contradicts the general consensus that they are hurting the economy. He quotes Professor Andrew Sum of Northeastern Boston University, who states that immigrants are displacing Americans from their jobs. However, Sum later admits that the U.S. economy is “larger and growing faster, due to the supply of illegal immigrants, and most Americans with higher job skills are better off for their presence.” Sum claims that immigrants allow the U.S. to grow more crops. His piece concludes in noting that many acknowledge that the economy would have similar problems without illegal immigrants coming to our country.

Johnson, C (2008, January 5). Hydrogen as fuel for automobiles. Retrieved February, 2008, from Mb-soft Web site: http://www.mb-soft.com/public2/hydrogen.html
Fuel cells are effective at obtaining hydrogen to use as energy, but adequate amounts of hydrogen cannot be stored in a vehicle for an extended trip. To store enough hydrogen, one would need to compress the gas to an extremely high pressure, which increases cost and safety problems. Although in tests hydrogen can seem quite impressive as a fuel for cars, its practical use is long from being implemented.
