...Introduction Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has gained an increasingly high attention in recent years. CSR can be defined as the ways in which businesses align their values and behaviors with their various stakeholders such as employees, suppliers, customers, government and other societal interests on whom their operation may have an impact. The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Dubai government and the UAE has always been present from the earliest Islamic times, with people and organizations practising Islamic values, donating through philanthropy and Shariah compliant ways of commerce. In recent years, there have been worldwide initiatives to invest responsibly and focus on investing profits into community life and saving the environment. CSR addresses a company’s transparency or openness and considering its stakeholders’ expectations. This means that business does more than act out of self-interest and shows social responsibility (Juholin, 2004). Companies cannot operate any more entirely independently and need to consider the needs of society and welfare of the community. Organizations now realize that in order to survive and stay unique in business and obtain strategic advantages, they need to practice being socially responsible. Many larger organizations have already integrated CSR into their strategic plans as an important factor in order to have a sustainable business. Although larger enterprises have more impact on society today, SMEs are...

...Life as a Male Asian Student Texas State University – San Marcos COMM 1310: Fundamentals of Human Communications Melissa Novak Life as a Male Asian Student My name is Tao Zhèng, and I am a 19-year-old male attending school in America. I lived in Japan until I was 16, and then moved to America to attend an American university and expand my education. I tend to spend the majority of my days either at school or focusing on my studies at home. My parents are very strict and take my schooling very seriously. Typically, It’s my mom who pushes my academic success. Dad always says it would be her fault if I did not succeed so I do everything I can to not let her down. I don’t see my father much, maybe around three hours a day. But it’s okay because I know he’s working to provide our family with the best care and make us proud (Cohen 2011). (Question 1) When I wake up, I start out my morning with looking at my schoolwork and seeing what I need to do for the day and plan accordingly. My parents and family back home in Japan have high expectations for me and I want to do everything I can to impress them. I then attend all of my classes back to back because I’m taking twenty credit hours; my plan is to graduate this December. After I finish my classes, I head up to the library for three back to back Asian centered study groups. My friends and I help each other out a lot; I have found that we compliment each other well because we experience the same stereotypes and can help one...

...Five rules of student engagement for effective university marketing Can marketing help in tackling falling university applications? John Newbold offers tips on attracting your target audience Establish a link between interests and careers The end goal of most prospective university students is not attending lectures for a few years; but eventually to embark on a career and, more specifically, a career they are passionate about. Recent social media coverage has emphasised the point that career success and happiness comes from pursuing what interests you, rather than what might seem a good idea from other people's perspective (teachers / parents / politicians). One video currently doing the rounds on Facebook simply asks the question: "What if money was no object?" When marketing to potential students, universities should draw this link between student passions and potential careers. Higher education institution Birmingham Metropolitan College's latest campaign achieves this well, with the strapline "Let what you love become what you do". Similarly, Staffordshire University has this week launched a new graduate campaign spanning TV, cinema, press, radio and digital advertising. The idea is to show students that Staffordshire University is committed to their success beyond graduation. Don't talk down to prospective students Avoid falling into the trap of applying your own experiences of university to today's students, even if your university days were only five or...

... Morr/Pg.1 A Response to Steven Vogel “Grades and Money” Many students see grades as the single most important thing in life. But what about that other most important thing in life called money? It is easy to say that grades and money have a relationship between them. As a student myself, I can see the relationship between both of these. In Steven Vogel’s Grades and Money he makes many points that I agree with such as grades should be reports, GPA’s and grades are considered funny money. In Vogel’s essay he stated many great points about the relationship between grades and money. I strongly agree when Vogel states “What grades ought to be is a report, nothing more: how did the students do, how much did he or she learn, how much were his or her skills and critical self-consciousness and knowledge of the world expanded”? (Vogel 390). What Vogel’s trying to say in his text is that instead of giving out an A or a C, Let’s focus our attention on how the student has learned. Let’s see if the student learned anything at all. We have to remind ourselves that most students thrive off of knowing what their final grade will turn out to be. They need to know this to evaluate themselves, so they can be better students. I would agree with Vogel when he says grades should be a report. They should not determine whether we pass or fail a class. It is just a simple way for teachers to be...

...Critical Review of the Article “The changing body of students - A study of the motives, expectations and preparedness of postgraduate marketing students” The fact is that the body of postgraduate marketing students, who decide to study in UK, has become much more different during the last few years. It means that British marketing educators are facing big challenges as well as great opportunities. In order to help the educators keep up with the pace of the change, researches about the postgraduate marketing students have been conducted. According to Liu (2010), the article - “The changing body of students - A study of the motives, expectations and preparedness of postgraduate marketing students” aims at finding out the possible implications for the educators by evaluating the motives, expectations and preparedness of the postgraduate marketing students in UK, and through this, the marketing educators could design their programme better. This paper will try to analyse the article and give a critical review for it. Even facing with the challenges from counterparts such as American universities and Asian domestic universities (Liu, 2010), the trend is that numbers of the postgraduate students in UK including those, who major in marketing, have still increased dramatically. More students choose to take a postgraduate programme in UK, particularly on taught programme (Liu, 2010). Taylor (2002) states that comparing with undergraduates, numbers of postgraduates increase more...

...Raising a Successful College Student Carol Woods GEN/200 In order to be a successful college student personal responsibility must be learned at an early age. Children must learn personal responsibility, time management skills, and family values when they are young. If children develop a strong responsibility foundation they will develop into a successful college student. Personal responsibility is something that is taught to you throughout your childhood and developed throughout your adult life. A child is taught family values daily from the time they begin to walk. Parents begin to pass on their own values system and this is what a person’s responsibility foundation is built on. In order for a student to be successful in their college career they must already have been taught personal responsibility throughout their childhood. Children should be given household chores at a very young age, like picking up their toys, making their beds, and even feeding the family pet, at this age they are exposed to the family values at its core. Children begin to realize what responsibility is through these chores. Experts believe that any type of household responsibilities, are important for kids (Dunnewind, 2004). When they develop into adolescence they should be given more responsibility. School work becomes a priority, social groups draw their interest and now they begin to develop their time management skills. Learning how to navigate between class assignments...
