Nursing science has made great advances-this thanks to the many theorists that thought their theories have guided, provided, and developed essential concepts now use in nursing care delivery. The following will be a discussion about concept analysis and how this lead to the development of theories.

...DEFINING THE STRATEGIC CULTURE: BANGLADESH PERSPECTIVE Intro 1. A nation exists to lead the way of better living. Strategic Culture (SC) of a nation generates strength that shows the path of prosperity. It is the attitude of a nation in conduct with the others. A nation, big or small, offers many positive attitudes and conducts which are admired, nurtured and cherished by others. It is good for any nation to have the SC articulated, even more imp is to prac and fol them appr. 2. In search of prosperity and accomplishment, nations maintain rich SC. The good, the bad and the odds of the society usually come out from it. If the internal environment of a country is good and if there is maturity in politics, the SC becomes sustainable. While if the internal environment of the country ebbs and flows, the SC shows up accordingly. Born in 1971, BD is yet to define its SC. It has something to offer and many things to be derived from the others. From that perspective, this paper will first define the subj, then disc the SC of a small nation. Then the paper will try to accumulate the SC that BD demo so far and suggest some cultures to be articulated. Aim 3. The aim of this paper is to articulate the SC for Bangladesh. Definition of SC 4. SC has been defined in different ways. Colin S. Gray defined it as “… consists of the socially constructed and transmitted assumptions, habits of mind, traditions and preferred methods of operation—that is behavior—that are more or less specific...

...PRC with the United States who have been embroiled in the same period in the controversial War on Terror. Given the prominence of the claim of the claim it is clearly in the interests of understanding international and regional developments that we pose the question “How peaceful is China’s peaceful rise?” As this essay will show, in light of the PRC’s domestic aims and because of China’s historical and cultural experiences, any attempt to answer question is contradictory, and depends on the region. The question of China’s contradictory peaceful rise is explained most completely by the theory of neoclassical realism. Neoclassical realism argues that it is the aim of states to gain power to pursue what they deem is in their national interests. It breaks down the state’s efforts in that respect into two spheres, the internal and the external. The external sphere is similar to other theories of realism, states competing against each other in an anarchical international order. The internal sphere is further broken into three domestic actants that effectively define the internal composition of the state itself: the elites, the political class and the public. It argues that it is the perceptions of power and the interests of the three actants have that matter in the conduct of the state’s...

...Major conflicts throughout history have always led to a new way of arbitrating world affairs. The crash of the Soviet Union led to a new making peace process with a diversification of actors and a multilateral approach, especially after the election of Obama that made from liberty a higher priority than security. Since the WW2, Turkey has been considered as the eastern wing of NATO. Since the end of the Cold War, Turkey tried to become an active actor with its own agenda and its own priorities. It is no more a marginal actor in the international scene, especially concerning major conflicts in the Middle-East. To play the role in an efficient way, Turkey built an assertive foreign policy, based on 3 methodological and 5 operational principles. The first methodological principle is to act rather than to react. Those Acts must be consistent with the vision of the world Turkey built, and how it sees itself in this world. The second one is having a consistent view that strengthens its foreign policy. The Third one is making the civil and economic soft spreading power of Turkey their main argument. Those principles led to an operational vision based on five points. The first one is to strike the balance between the security dimension and the liberty dimension in its intern and extern policies. Despite serious neighborhoods problems with security and lack of democracy, Turkey achieved a great constitution revision and has a more and more powerful democracy, where some marginalized...

Mao’s death: collapse of communism → socialist market economy b. Japanese miracle c. Impressive growth of the South-Korean economy 3. Ersatz capitalism → Asian crisis in 1997: inefficient use of capital was covered up by the availability of easy money from governments, optimistic foreign investors lured by the emerging markets. The system could not keep up the pretence as it became sensitive to a downturn in the economic cycle which hit the region in 1997. → End of easy money and beginnings of reforms. 4. After 1997, reforms: • Improvements to accountability and disclosure in the financing of industry • Reduction of favoritism and corruption during control of licenses and capital • Opening of markets to foreign competition • Adoption of international standards in accounting, trading, IPR • General rise in professionalism in management and administration • Adoption of democratic processes in politics • Notion of CSR Important point: this does not mean that these countries will converge to a Western formula.

...establishment of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). As the regional organization, the top priority of ASEAN is to accelerate the economic growth, social progress and cultural development in the region. Later on other countries in the region also joined this organization as follows; Brunei Darussalam in 1984, Vietnam in 1995, Laos and Myanmar (Burma) in 1997, and Cambodia in 1999. The ten-member organization is enhancing partnership, not only nations in the region, but also outside the region, especially with the United States (US). The relationship between ASEAN and the US has entered its fourth decade of partnership. Since the first engagement in 1977, both sides have experienced the ups and down of partnership. This relationship will become more significant as it broadens the sectors of partnership in the future. Initially, starting with economic and development cooperation, the enhanced relationships, with cooperation on politic, regional security, counter terrorism and transnational crimes, has achieved a new era of “comprehensive partnership.” For the next decade, regional development in Asia Pacific will require the partnership to become more comprehensive. Several key issues in the region will become the major consideration for the next type of partnership. Some issues exist in Asia Pacific region. These are economic development, environmental issues, transnational crime and terrorism, legal cooperation, immigration, drugs, the rise of anti-Americanism, natural...

...TOPROMOTE PEACE” |Peace Education | http://missmakanani.blogspot.com/2007/07/50-ways-to-promote-peace.html 1. Make friends with someone of another race, ethnicity, age, ability, or sexual orientation. Appreciating and embracing diversity helps to promote peace. 2. Get to know your neighbors. It’s hard to reclaim peace without a sense of community. 3. Take an adventure to neighborhoods of your town or country that are ethnically focused to appreciate diverse cultures. Cross-cultural understanding is key to building peace. 4. Travel to learn. Get first-hand experience in how things happen in other places and bring home questions about how you do things at home. 5. Drive with patience and tolerance. Keep the peace on our streets and highways. 6. Listen more. Really listen, without giving unsolicited advice. The validation of being heard is often more important than solving the problem. 7. Spend time with a youngster. This can often remind us of the meaning of a peaceful world. 8. Practice the art of patience. Be careful not to rush to judgment or action. 9. Start peace conversations...

...the United Nations Following the end of World War II, many nations decided that the League of Nations; an organization that was founded after World War I by the United States of America upon the Treaty of Versailles, needed to be replaced by an organization that could better foresee the needs of the international community and undertake the responsibility of maintaining international peace and security. The United Nations, with its six principle organs was founded in 1945, as a replacement to the failed League of Nations.1 The fifty founding countries of the United Nations met in San Francisco, California in 1945 in order to draft a new charter. The United Nations Charter was essentially based upon the principles of the Dumbarton Oaks conference of 1944. It was then that these fifty countries, alongside Poland, signed the charter and became the fifty-one original member states. The United Nations, a term coined by the American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1942, was founded to increase “cooperation on specific matters” and essentially establish world peace. Given the immense cultural diversity of the 192 current member states of the UN, the organization opted to adopt six official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. Alongside the two major headquarters for the organization where meetings are usually held found both in New York, USA and Geneva, Switzerland, local Offices are set up in other capitals across the globe. The primary reason...

...Gandhi's Hind Swaraj takes the form of a dialogue between two characters, The Reader and The Editor. The Reader essentially serves as the typical Indian countryman whom Gandhi would have been addressing with Hind Swaraj. The Reader voices the common beliefs and arguments of the time concerning Indian Independence. Gandhi, The Editor, explains why those arguments are flawed and interject his own arguments. As The Editor Gandhi puts it, "it is my duty patiently to try to remove your prejudice." In the dialogue which follows, Gandhi outlines four themes which structure his arguments. 1. First, Gandhi argues that ‘Home Rule is Self Rule’. He argues that it is not enough for the British to leave only for Indians to adopt a British-styled society. As he puts it, some "want English rule without the Englishman ... that is to say, [they] would make India English. And when it becomes English, it will be called not Hindustan but Englishtan. This is not the Swaraj I want.” 2. Gandhi also argues that Indian independence is only possible through passive resistance. In fact, more than denouncing violence, Gandhi argues that it is counter-productive; instead, he believes, “The force of love and pity is infinitely greater than the force of arms. There is harm in the exercise of brute force, never in that of pity.” This is essential throughout Hind Swaraj. 3. In order to exert passive resistance, Gandhi reasons that Swadeshi (self-reliance) be exercised by Indians, meaning the refusal of all trade...

...over the Kashmir issue in 1948 and 1965, the war in 1971 lead to the separation of East Pakistan and the Kargil war in 1999. The adverse relations between the two have severely affected the peace of the region. All in all, Pakistan spends around 7 billion dollars on it defense. And the most serious threat that Pakistan faces is from India. Hence, a large part of our budget is allocated into ensuring protection of the nation from its eastern border. However, the same amount that is spent to secure the eastern border would have been used for sustainable growth for instance, for investment in educational or in the industrial sector. Pakistan, at this point, is in a state of flux; fighting an internal, as well as an external war. Zarb-e-Azb, the internal war against terrorism, has incurred a high cost to the Government of Pakistan. Despite of the operation, an unfortunate incident like Mumbai attack straight away poses questions on Pakistan’s involvement in the act. I believe a cordial relation built with trust, cooperation and friendship, would impede any such claims. Consistent relations with India would be a confidence building measure and would help us gain their support in the war against terrorism. Pakistan demanded separation due to religious differences but there are other common cultural values too that cannot be ignored and that can function as Confidence Building Measures. The food, clothing, language, dress code and the shared interests in literature and art call for a cordial...

...Seoul Journal of Business Volume 10, Number 1 (June 2004) Transformation of Korean HRM based on Confucian Values Jong-Tae Choi* College of Business Administration Seoul National University Abstract This study aims to find out the role of the Confucian family value in the process of the transformation of Korean HRM and IR in a hypercompetition period. I analyzed the characteristics and the transformation of Korean companies’ HRM as well as the core value system of Confucian familism. I suggest that a successful transformation of HRM in Korean companies requires an interplay between two factors. First is the genetic factor based on traditional Confucian culture of Korea (i.e., the DNA of Korean HRM), of which its advantages must be respected and preserved. Second factor is an adaptation ability, which modifies its own core competency and routine through an interaction with the environment. Korean HRM stands at a turning point now. The Korean economy is facing a hyper-competition in the global market. To survive, Korean companies have to improve their competitiveness. Also they must solve the problem of seniority-based HRM of Confucian values that hinders their competitiveness. To confront an inevitable transformation of the management system, Korean companies tried to solve the problem by bringing in a rapid growth process of North American HRM practices. But, unanticipated side effect has occurred in this process. As American HRM was uniformly adopted, traditional teamwork...
