...Globalization Name: Institutional affiliations: This paper focuses on highlighting how the processes of globalization have changed the experiences of growing up and being educated in for the adolescent children aged 12 to 15 in Australia. Globalization is the process by which organizations and businesses establish international relations through the exchange of world business views and ideas, culture and products with other nations of the world. These businesses and organizations then start to operate and trade on an international scale. Globalization can be attributed to advances in the industrial sector, changes in the transportation and telecommunication systems, infrastructural changes, and the rise in the internet culture and development. The interplay of these forces in politics, religion and economies influence the economic trends of each country. Some of the social effects of globalization to the world economy include: poverty reduction due to increase in the wages and employment rate in the participative developing countries, improved healthcare provision due to the registered decline in the maternal and infant mortality rates, the provision of better educational standards, in line with the global millennium developmental goals. However globalization has also been viewed as a key in increasing the unemployment rates in the third world countries due to massive sacking of workers, high poverty rates and low income generation among the working...

...on wifely adultery flourished in Continental Europe”.1 Examples include Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Scarlett Letter”, Leo Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina” and Gustav Flaubert’s “Madame Bovary”, but also short stories by the Russian writer Anton Chekhov. The topic of adultery could be explored in many different ways and where most writers focused on the social problems of infidelity, especially when committed by a woman, Chekhov presented the relationships between the lovers and their families. Furthermore, I feel like the characters always give some kind of justification for being unfaithful, may this be a sensible reason or not. Therefore, for the purpose of this paper, I would like to further explore the “justifications” given by the cheating parties, the way it affects their relationships with their spouses and family, but also the role that society plays in the way that they handle their respective affairs. Furthermore, I will take a look at the way in which the characters deal with the guilt that they have, concerning their spouses and personal consequences. For this reason, I will be examining two short stories by Chekhov, “The Grasshopper”, published in 1892 and “The Lady with the Dog” from 1899, as well as the play “Three Sisters” from 1900. Furthermore, I would like to start with a brief look at the socio-historic context that the texts were written, in particular, what women social status was and how it was affected by adultery and give a short overview of three important novels...

...Adolescent Cognitive Development After Trauma Raquel A. Figueroa Liberty University COUN 620-B02 Abstract In a generation of hopelessness, adolescents seek a purpose for their existence. They seek refugee from violence, abuse and maltreatment. The overwhelming pressure opens the door for instant gratification in drugs, alcohol, sexual activity, and fail to make appropriate adjustments in compromising circumstances. There is a correlation between traumatic experiences and adolescent cognitive development. A traumatic experience can alter an adolescent’s neural system and adversely affect the latter stages of brain development. Working with survivors of traumatic events requires an understanding of maladaptive behaviors, reactions and coping skills. Behavioral patterns emerge and become part of an adolescent’s personality. This paper will highlight the impact of traumatic experiences on adolescent cognitive development and their ability to foster an intrinsic knowledge of self. Maltreatment of adolescents has reached epidemic proportions within the United States. According to Bright (2008), “One in four children/adolescents experience at least one traumatic event before age 16” (p. 11). A study commissioned by Finkelhor, Ormrod, & Turner (2005) concluded the exposure to “physical abuse, sexual abuse, witnessing domestic violence, community violence, and natural disasters is a common occurrence among children in the U.S.” (p. 314). Reports of...

...1997, the Korean financial system collapsed and its stock market plunged (Paquet, 61). As a result, South Korea faced bankruptcy and had to depend on the International Monetary Fund to bail its economy out. The humiliation of having to rely on the IMF left the nation vulnerable and desperate for a way to recover its pride. As a result, the people of South Korea welcomed jop’ok, or gangster, style movies that redefined and exercised manhood (Shin, 118). Friend, the archetype of a jop’ok style movie, featured four male friends who embodied the masculine virtues Korea was seeking in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Similarly, Joint Security Area also featured four courageous male friends, but the movie wasn’t part of the jop’ok cycle. Its characters were soldiers and personified bravery, loyalty, and courage in the face of adversity. Both movies were received so strongly by the Korean movie-going public because they served as reminders of the hegemonic masculine virtues that Korea needed to remember it had as a nation to recover from the humiliation and embarrassment of bankruptcy. Friend, as a part of the jop’ok cycle, epitomized “hypermasculine ethics [that sought] to resolve national anxieties by recuperating male agency at a time of...

...Leadership Styles in The Lion King Central Michigan University MSA 601 John Zappala Leadership is a quality that some people possess which allows them to rule, affect and lead other people. That quality consists of a person’s charisma, power of thought, intellectual potential, and sense of responsibility. According to Kinicki and Fugate, leadership is defined as, “a social influence in which the leader seeks the voluntary participation of subordinates in an effort to reach organizational goals," (p. 364). Today’s world requires leadership to compete and succeed. The rapidly changing conditions in an organization demand adaptive leadership styles, and the success of an organization relies on leaders evaluating and applying effective leadership styles. Good start Leadership and power are the main focuses in Disney’s animated movie The Lion King. The film describes the evolvement of a relationship in the animal kingdom after Mufasa, the king of Pride Rock, and Sarabi, his wife, give birth to their son, Simba. Simba’s birth denies Scar, Mufasa’s younger brother, the kingship that he would have inherited if Simba hadn’t been born that’s a run on, make them shorter. Scar is extremely jealous of his older brother, is obsessed with the idea of becoming king and obtaining power over...

...Ecological Economics 24 (1998) 259 – 274 Scope and limits of the market mechanism in environmental management Bo Gustafsson Swedish Collegium for Ad6anced Study in Social Sciences, SCASSS, Gota6agen 4, S-75236 Uppsala, Sweden ¨ ¨ Abstract This paper tries to evaluate the role of the market mechanism in environmental management and warns against reductionist views on the causes and remedies of environmental damages. According to some of these views, proper pricing of the environment and extensive use of market mechanisms in environmental management would solve environmental problems. But various conditions tell against such simplifications, namely: the complex causality behind environmental damages; the complexity of the functions and values of nature; as well as limitations of the market mechanism in coping with the functions and services of nature. Several of those limitations — the difficulties of defining and enforcing property rights to nature’s functions and services; the pervasiveness of externalities conditioned by the public goods characteristics of many environmental functions and values; the difficulties in enticing, processing and using information about environmental goods; and the high transaction costs caused by all these circumstances—often rule out contracts and trading of environmental services. It is less known that the basic cause of market existence and extension, namely specialization and division of labour, have negative environmental effects. With respect...

...Advertising techniques and their influence on consumer’s behaviour The estimated time the average US citizen spends in front of the TV screen is 1500 hours per year. He watches not only shows, programs, movies and matches but also 38 000 of the advertising films at that time. What is more, he sees or listens to 100 commercials every day, invasive in other mass media, like the Net, newspaper or radio, not to mention all those leaflets in his mailbox and banners on the Net and billboards on the street. ( Falkowski, Tyszka ) The reason why advertising is omnipresent is quite obvious. It is the best way to encourage people to buy things or to use some services. Otherwise, no one would spend so much money on this business. Commercials accompany our life nearly at every turn. They get into our language, the way we perceive the world, think and create relationships with other people. However, we do not realize their power. We believe that we choose certain coffee brand because of its objective value. Most of us are confident the advertising has nothing in common with our choices. The rest think that commercials affect others, not themselves. It figures that we all cherish illusions. In fact, adverts exhort us to buy things we do not really need. As an author of this text I would like to show how this mechanism works and what kinds of conditions need to be performed to make advertising effective. It is important because we really seem to live in the advertising age. Advertising...

...representation was introduced to popular culture, the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community was oppressed from the start. Later, film and television attempted to create well-rounded homosexual characters but focused in depicting gay stereotypes and how they shaped the public's impression of the gay community. These stereotypes created a non-threatening sissy gay and a warrior lesbian. Throughout history, heterosexual men are seen to be strong and proud of their masculinity and homosexuals have been perceived as lacking masculinity and feminine. Gay characters started to emerge in the 1990’s in both television and movies. Ellen DeGeneres and her character Ellen Morgan coming out under much scrutiny on the TV show ‘Ellen,’ which eventually led to her own talk show. The movie The Birdcage, with Robin Williams was about a gay cabaret owner and his drag queen companion. Gays and lesbians have been around for a long time, especially in Hollywood, but more people started to come out in the 90’s. With the popularity of shows like Will and Grace, which feature leading gay characters, as well as the show Friends, Ross Gellar’s lesbian ex-wife Carol, marries her partner and happily co-parents her son with Ross. Over a period of time we are slowly seeing gay, lesbian, and bi-sexual characters slowly entering into the mainstream media (Campbell, 1). The progression towards the acceptance of homosexuality in the media can be seen in many of the popular shows today. An example is Will...

...Nuclear Power Professor: Dr. Timothy Scott Class: Senior Seminar – Environmental Ethics Date: June 9, 2010 By: CT Nguyen History The first successful experiment with nuclear fission was conducted in 1938 in Berlin by the German physicists Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner and Fritz Strassman. During the Second World War, many nations get on the program to develop nuclear energy, focusing first on the development of nuclear reactors. Several nations began their own construction of nuclear reactors at this point,, although research was also being conducted into the use for civilian electricity generation , primarily research was for weapons use. Electricity was generated for the first time by a nuclear reactor on December 20, 1951 at the EBR-I experimental fast breeder station near Arco, Idaho, which initially produced about 100 kW. December 1953, a speech by President Dwight Eisenhower, "Atoms for Peace", set the US on a course of strong government support for the international use of nuclear power. On June 27, 1954, the world's first nuclear power plant that generated electricity for commercial use was officially connected to the Soviet power grid at Obninsk, USSR. The reactor was moderated; water cooled and had a capacity of 5 megawatts (MW). The second reactor for commercial purposes (1956) was Calder Hall in Sellafield, England, a gas-cooled reactor with a capacity of 45 MW. The Shippingport Reactor (Pennsylvania, 1957), a pressurised-water reactor, was the first...

Mitch Casselman Department of Management, Peter J. Tobin College of Business, St. John’s University, New York, New York, USA Abstract Purpose – This paper seeks to examine the ethical dilemmas that emerge when offering microfinance services in BOP markets. Design/methodology/approach – Utilizing the ethical lenses of deontology, teleology, virtue ethics and moral relativism, the paper builds on prior research on ethical issues in BOP markets and the ethics of microfinance to highlight the specific stakeholder impacts facing MFIs. Relevant literature and examples from practice are utilized to illustrate the different ethical perspectives. Findings – In general, many of the key dilemmas represent themselves in the extreme poverty segment of the BOP where commercial business models have the least traction. Research limitations/implications – Propositions are developed for the corrective actions in the paper which might allow future research to uncover differences in intervention success in different BOP markets. Practical implications – The discussion of potential interventions for the various stakeholders may ameliorate criticisms of MFIs, suggest opportunities for cross-sectoral partnerships and improve outreach to the poorest of the poor. Social implications – For each issue...

...Final Essay Don J . Brinning ETH-125 September 2, 2012 Monica Hahn Final Essay Since taking this class, I not had any access to any previously unknown life altering revelations of information; in reality, what I have learned is exactly how badly the dominant group has treated all of the minority groups over the years. I know that the United States was founded on a long tradition of violence, slavery, and genocide toward any group that they could get away with subjugating; what I was surprised by was how groups that I had always thought were part of the majority (French, Irish, Italian, and so forth) were initially discriminated against early on and had to ‘pay their dues’ in order to be awarded membership in the dominant culture. This information does not change my understanding or relation of others, as I have always prided myself on treating people as people and ignoring things like race, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity. The main thing that the material in this course has taught me is that I should be even more embarrassed by the cretins further up in my family tree when I look at myself in the mirror in the morning, and more dedicated to making up for the (assumed) transgressions of my ancestors by not allowing any prejudice or discrimination enter my own thought process or actions. Immigration trends are currently increasing the amount of minority residents in the United States, in particular those from Latin America or those with Hispanic backgrounds...
