... have been also referred to as the 'South', from the commonly referred to Brandt Report (1980), or the Report of the Independent Commission on International Development Issues. This report stated that the 'rich developed' countries were located in the 'north', and that the 'poor undeveloped' or 'developing' countries were located in the 'south'. However, in this report the 'North/South' divide used in the Brandt Report will not be used, instead the use of the phrase 'Third World' will be used in its place. The phrase originally derives from France ('Tiers Monde') in the 1950's to describe the peasantry (the 'Third Estate') in pre-Revolutionary 1789 France. By ...

... Sherman Antitrust Act. The Sherman Antitrust Act was passed in 1890 and prohibits a monopoly or restraint of trade in interstate commerce. The government believes that Microsoft is "tying" sales on buyers. This occurs when a buyer wants to purchase one product but the seller makes him to buy an additional product that he does not want. Let us take another look at this argument against Microsoft. Netscape is claiming that their internet browser is not included in Microsoft's software package with Windows 95 or 98.

... the intentional handling of an object that leads to satisfaction from the handling. Finally symbolic play is the use of mental representation, in which one object represents another (Hughes, 1991). The differences between play and exploration can be difficult to assess.

Using the above approach to the study, there are three particular questions that this article answers. First, why do individ ...
