Озеленение американских корпораций
В этом выпуске eJournal USA рассматривается современная тенденция в области экологии, которая вызывает удивление даже среди людей, хорошо знакомых с историей защиты окружающей среды в США - освоение американскими корпорациями новых экологически сбалансированных способов ведения бизнеса. Что же побуждает компании к “озеленению”?
Инвалиды в США
При определенной поддержке даже люди с самой тяжелой инвалидностью могут преодолеть накладываемые ею недостатки и жить полноценной и продуктивной жизнью. В этом журнале говорится о некоторых таких случаях. Мы надеемся, что вам интересно будет прочитать о действующем в США законодательстве, помогающем инвалидам, а также о специальных программах, облегчающих их жизнь. Открывая новые возможности и устраняя существующие барьеры, мы далеко не закончили эту работу, однако вы увидите из представленных статей, чего мы добились на первоначальном этапе.
Markets and Democracy
The connection between markets and democracy has never been a straight line. Since the 1700s economic thinkers have been debating this complex relationship. Is it possible to have free markets without democracy? Which develops first? Can the incentive of economic growth lead to greater democracy in countries that are not democratic?
The 12 international experts we’ve assembled in this issue take up different aspects of the conundrum and offer their answers to these questions. Our goal, however, is not to resolve a centuries-old intellectual debate but to deepen our readers’ understanding about the nuances of what is undeniably a matter of importance for everybody in the world today.
Venture Capital Meets Hi-Tech
This eJournal explores the phenomenon that drives uncounted Americans — and now citizens of other nations — to create fledgling “start-up” businesses that explore and exploit the latest developments in high technology. It also investigates the closely related “venture capital” phenomenon. How investors match their funds to (hopefully) winning ideas is a big part of the start-up story.
The Olympic Experience
The Olympic Games remind us of certain universal human values. Every Olympian has a story that echoes the shared human struggle for excellence and our devotion to pursue purpose in life. In this issue of eJournal USA, we celebrate the Olympics through the individual experiences and insights of athletes who share their memories of the Olympic Experience.
Clean Energy Solutions
Projected dramatic increases in energy consumption in the coming decades, combined with a higher risk of climate change, require a massive global response based on technological innovation and the power of the marketplace. Experts and government officials describe the options before us, including renewable energy, novel vehicles, and low-carbon power generation, and discuss the best ways leading to a sustainable energy future.

Immigrants Joining the Mainstream
Immigrants made the United States what it is. Being an American depends on acceptance of certain American ideals, not on the place of birth of a person or of his or her ancestors.

Transforming the Culture of Corruption

Dynamic English

From cultural and international influences, such as words that come directly, or in a changed form from another language, to popular media, including movies, music and sports, to changes arising from technological developments, the authors present examples of ways English changes daily. Other articles describe the process of language change, and tips for deciphering slang.
