complete developmental context. Write completely about the following five systems (label which
level you are talking about when writing your essay):

What was going on in the world at that time (e.g., Vietnam war, who was president of the
United States, destruction of the Berlin Wall, etc.)
1. Bursting of the Dot.com, or Technology, Bubble

The Internet was in style. Entrepreneurs saw potential in online business. However,
online business was really in its infancy. Everyone was talking about a "new economy"
which referred to an Internet-driven economy. Most of the dot.com stocks, like
Yahoo.com, were listed on the NASDAQ. In January 2000, the NASDAQ closed above
5000. The NASDAQ was trading around 2100 ten years later.

Investors were getting rich off unprofitable stocks with high prices and higher
price/earnings ratios — firms like software companies and all things computer and
Internet. Cisco Systems, for example, traded at more than 150 times earnings in March of
2000.

In April 2000, an inflation report caused the speculative bubble to burst and there were
huge investment losses.

2. Enron, the Emergence of Corporate Fraud, and Corporate Governance

Enron, one of the top energy companies at this time, and Arthur Andersen, one of the top five
public accounting firms, were caught in a corporate fraud scandal that led to the bankruptcy of
Enron and dissolution of Arthur Andersen.

Enron hid billions of dollars of debt from its shareholders in failed deals and projects. Further, it
pressured its auditors, Arthur Andersen, to ignore the issues. Shareholders lost more than $60
billion

3. Stock Market Crash

After a brief slide post 9/11, the stock market rallied but began to slide again in March
2002. The market reached lows not seen since 1997 and 1998 by July and September of
2002. The corporate fraud scandals, such as Enron, along with 9/11, were contributors to
this loss of investor confidence in the stock market.

4. War on Terror and Iraq War

After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the War on Terror was launched in Afghanistan and the Iraq War
was launched in 2003. The cost of these wars is ongoing. To date, the Congressional Research
Service has approved about $944 billion for the operations overseas. This has been an incredible
financial drain on our economy and it is impossible to know what the final cost will be.

other towns and villages. Hundreds more were injured and thousands were left homeless. Many
people were trapped beneath the rubble of collapsed buildings. The greatest damage to buildings
occurred in Las Salinas. Eighty-seven churches were damaged or destroyed - including Our Lady
of Guadalupe Church overlooking Las Colinas.
