...Do we have an Ethical responsibility outside the US? DeVry University Author Note This paper was prepared for Intro to Business and Technology taught by Professor Branch Abstract In this paper will address the issues of tariffs and the social benefits that can be gained. Franchising abroad and what role a culture could play in the success of your business. When going into another country you have to ensure you did your research. You have to be considerate of the host nation to ensure your product is appropriate for them. It’s always important to be familiar with the host country’s beliefs and customs. In the United States we do a lot of foreign exchange. We are big on Sports and it’s literally a billion dollar industry. There is a responsibility to not offend anyone and have good business practices. In this paper I will explore Sports franchises abroad, ensuring franchised appropriate products and if government imposed tariffs should be on imported products. In order to increase popularity abroad the U.S must address cultural factors. In the United States Sports is very popular. When planning to branch out overseas one must take more than just the culture and desires of the U.S. into consideration. “Culture can include social structures, religion, manners and customs, values and attitudes, language, and personal communication” (Nickels, McHugh & McHugh, 2013). Many years ago this wasn’t an issue because most teams were comprised of Americans. Other factors...

...What cultural factors must U.S. sports franchises overcome to increase popularity abroad? How can franchises ensure their products are appropriate for international markets? Should governments protect their industries by placing tariffs on imported products? These three points will be explained more in the next pages. First U.S. Sports franchises who are trying to expand their businesses abroad have many things to overcome. Lets try seeing this from the point of view of those abroad. How do our sports fit in with the ones already established in these countries. Many European countries reefer to soccer as football, which may cause a lot of confusion of the bat. Especially if you are trying to establish an NFL following in another country. Also to be taken into consideration these countries traditions, as well as there rituals or rivalries. For them not only have their families have been following these same sports, but the same teams as well. So U.S. Franchises have to find a way to wedge in between these long standing traditions. At the least a way to attract a younger generations. Many of these problems can be over come by market research. By studying these countries, and there cultures. These franchises may find ways to over come these differences that are held between U.S. Sports, and countries abroad. One of these ways may by recruiting athletes from different countries. Which would help those other countries relate to these American teams. Seeing a fellow country...

...I recently attended the Double Reed Day Concert presented by the UNL School of Music. This particular concert had only faculty. The two primary instruments used were oboe and bassoon with accompaniment provided by a harpsichord and piano. There was almost never a time where an instrument was resting in a piece; each voice started and ended at the same time. Most of the performed pieces were fairly old and it was very apparent as the style of playing gave a certain “old” feeling which will be explained later. The first piece was called Trio Sonata No. 6 in D Major, HWV 385 by George Friedrich Handel and contained two oboes, a bassoon, and a harpsichord. The first movement, Adagio, was played at approximately 90 beats per minute and was in quadruple meter. There wasn’t much variation in dynamics as forte (mezzo forte for bassoon) maintained through the entirety of the movement. The oboes had the melody and played in a homophonic manner (also conjunct with a few ascending and descending scales) with one or two passages of “call and response” with each other or with the accompaniment. The main melody included many sets of one note held for three beats followed a “swung” pair of eighth notes. It seemed like the bassoon served as secondary accompaniment (harpsichord being the primary.) While listening to the movement I remember having images in my mind about medieval times and a king drinking tea with the rest of his royal court. These images were facilitated by the sound...

Since then Lester remembers all the short stories which were told by his mother when he was little and develops fear within himself.

Scarry.” “Me, too!” Why is she talking to me like that? She doesn’t talk to Laura that way! (64). Cece wants to be treated like a normal person, not like someone who can’t hear. She doesn’t want to be different especially if talking slow is harder to hear. This affects Cece’s and Ginny’s relationship because when Cece tells Ginny about the slow talking it is really rude. Then Ginny is mad at Cece because Cece snaps at her. Cece also can’t correctly hear all of what her friends or fellow classmates are saying to her.

...Unfinished Business Mike Sauer Strayer University Abstract This paper has been written for an academic audience. The paper focuses on the perceived benefits and risks associated with the use of computers. The paper argues that while computers have introduced many benefits, there are also significant risks that should be considered. Through the use of computers, and society’s dependency on them, risks to privacy, identity, and credible information have been introduced. One should be more suspicious of the benefits associated with using computers and should understand the inherent risks associated with storing personal identity information, online transactions, and unfiltered information on the Internet. Unfinished Business The Civil War ended in 1865 with the North defeating the South and, as a result of the defeat, the South had been removed from the Union. At the time our president was Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln needed to come up with a plan to bring the South back into the Union. This period after the war came to be known as “The Reconstruction”. During the reconstruction many events took place that would change the way the present day U.S. is. There were major turning points during this period which would have long lasting impacts on American society, the American economy, politics, and culture. Identify 3 major historical turning points. The following paragraphs will explore the major turning points during the period, their...

...Titel: Die veranderinge in Suid-Afrika se kurrikulum sedert 1994: die effek wat dit het op onderwysers. Navorsingsprobleem Volgens Leedy (1993:61) vra suksesvolle navorsers hulself gereeld af, waarmee is ek besig en vir watter doeleindes? Dit is belangrik om gedurende die navorsingsproses gefokus te bly op dit wat mens wil bereik. Die hoof doeleinde van my navorsing is om te bepaal watter veranderinge Suid-Afrika se kurrikulum sedert 1994 ondergaan het en watter effek dit op onderwysers het. Suid-Afrika se onderwysstelsel het al baie veranderinge ondergaan (Grobler 2003:34). Sedert 1994 het die Departement van Onderwys gedurig nuwe veranderinge in die kurrikulum en onderwysstelsel gebring. Die onderwysstelsel het ‘n groot skuif gemaak, weg van die ou tradisionele benadering wat gebaseer was op onderwyser-gesentreerde onderrig, na ‘n meer leerder-gesentreerde benadering. Hierdie groot transformasie het nie sonder probleme ontstaan nie. Die drastiese en vinnige kurrikulum veranderinge veroorsaak baie eise en uitdagings vir die opvoeders. Sonder die nodige ondersteuning word daar verwag van opvoeders om hierdie veranderinge en uitdagings te bestuur (Sayed & Jansen, 2001:180). In 1996 het die Departement van Onderwys die hele onderwysstelsel onderstebo gedraai en groot veranderinge aangebring. Tydens die implementering van ‘n nuwe kurrikulum het alles wat effektief gewerk het in die vorige kurrikulum verlore gegaan. Opvoeders was moedeloos en negatief teenoor...

...The Phenomenon of “ Father Absence” Reflections on Zweig’s Letter from an Unknown Woman. Abstract The father-absence is a widespread phenomenon in the society nowadays. However, it is recently that people notice the psychological importance of father as a significant influence on female character development. Empirical research has demonstrated various negative outcomes for females in single-parent homes such as being overshy, self-abandoned as well as indifferent to the sorrounding, all of which influence their life-choice. This paper deals with this problem mainly from how psychologically father-absence affects the development of the female character which strongly decides their fate based on Stephan Zweig’s novel: Letter from an Unknown Woman. Key words: father-absence， the Name-of-the-Father 1. Introduction Letter from an Unknown Woman is one of the most famous novels composed by Austrian writer Stephan Zweig. Its cyclically-told tale of romantic yearning and pining for love is embodied in the doomed, delusional relationship of the two romantic leads: a young neighbor girl's steadfast, sacrificial love for a self-absorbed, dilettante writer. Zweig uses the form of the woman’s monologue as a letter to show us a tragic story of her whole life: how she falls in love with her neighbor, keeps faith for him through her whole life while the man has never recognized or remembered her. Many critics believe that the root-cause of this love-tragedy lies in...
