Currently they live in a kind of African village on the roof called, Deir Sultan, but many centuries ago they once held services and lived inside one of the Holy Sepulcher chapels. According to biblical history, Ethiopians presence has been in the region of Jerusalem since 1000 B.C., surviving for more than 1500 years through many wars and challenges. Though there has been many landlord changes in Jerusalem and the Middle East, Ethiopian monks have retained there monastic covenant until the mid-19th century. This is how the Armenians and Coptics expanded control over Ethiopians. Since the Ethiopian’s historical records were destroyed they were unable to provide evidence or claims to their original chapel inside the Holy Sepulcher. Today the ownership of the church is shared between the Greek Orthodox, Catholics, and Armenian Orthodox. The three minor Orthodox communities Coptic, Syriac and Ethiopian Orthodox have rights to use certain areas of the Church, Leaving the Ethiopian monks and nuns as the only black presence in Jerusalem’s Holy Sepulcher. Ethiopian monks have recorded historical data saying that Queen Helena of Rome gave them the keys to the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem since the 4th century. Under Turkish rule, Ethiopians were the only religious sec that refuses to pay homage and taxes to the Ottoman kings. From (1831 to 1840) Egyptians had temporary control in Jerusalem...

Discussions of findings 1. Literature review The so-called global market is, in fact, not new in the world history. As examined by Giovanni (1999), global market has developed through 3 stages. The first stage was under the British hegemony which came into existence in the second half of the nineteenth century through the extension of the industrial revolution to long-distance transport and communication. Thirty years after the industrial revolution began; the rapid development of railways and steamships was forming the world into a single interacting economy as never before. The most remote parts of the world began to be linked together by means of communication which had no precedent for regularity, for the capacity to transport vast quantities of goods and numbers of people, and above all, for speed (Hobsbawm, 1979 cited in Giovanni, 1999). With this advanced system of transportation and communication, world trade expanded at unprecedented rate. According to Hobsbawm, the values of trade exchanges between Britain and the Ottoman Empire, Latin America, India and Australasia increased about sixfold. Not until the first half of the 20th century did witness the destruction of this first global market due to a gradual...

...Iddir, metaphor for solidaity in Ethiopia Solomon Dejene The aim of this paper is to gain insight into the relation between iddirs and sustainable development in Ethiopia. The material to achieve the aim is gathered through literature review and field work. The method of analysis is inspired by Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis (henceforth CDA). CDA focuses on the relation between language use and social reality. It combines three forms of analysis. The first is linguistic analysis of text. It deals with wording, grammar, syntax, cohesion, metaphor, transitivity, and so forth The second deals with discursive practice which is an analysis of the (processes of) production, distribution and consumption of texts. At this stage we look at inter-textuality and inter-discursivity. The third form studies the socio-cognitive effects of discursive practice, in particular, reproduction or transformation of status quo. Definitions of the key concepts are given in the introduction of this book. One of the issues to be dealt with is to what extent iddir can be considered indigenous. The paper is divided into four sections. The first section is a review of several publications on iddir. The second section is an overview of data gathered through field work. The third section contains a critical correlation of theoretical insights gathered through literature review (section one) and empirical insights gathered through fieldwork (section two). The final section contains some conclusions...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACK GROUND INFORMATION OF THE STUDY A tour package is an offer of a tour program composed of transportation, accommodation along with an escorted tour in an exchange for a predetermined single price (Business dictionary .com). It is sold to holiday makers by tour operators, travel agencies or directly by airlines through online or agency arrangements. Holiday package is a marketing strategy that helps related businesses come together to Work in partnership to sell their products through product bundling (Venkatesh and Kamakura,2003) . Nowadays different airlines of the World are involved in selling air transport service through the same Way by entering contractual agreements with various service providers such as hoteliers or tour companies .As a result most carriers such as Emirates, South African Air ways, Kenyan Airways etc are the beneficiary of this strategy mainly due to their own home base are tourist destinations .When it comes to Ethiopian airlines the actual fact is contradictory in that it has not been a beneficiary of its own country tourism attractions through product bundling .And the holiday package development is at its infantile stage. As a result the national carrier became highly dependent on the 6th freedom traffic right. That is 65 % of the total traffic are transiting Addis Ababa as stated on Ehiopian Airlines Annual commercial report (2010). As such no attention was given until recently to develop in-house package. In fact there...

...differences in national intelligence. The authors claim that they have evidence that differences in national IQ account for substantial variation in per capita income and growth of a nation. This essay review debunks their assumptions that intellectual and income differences between nations stem from genetic differences. This critique provides an extended review of the research literature that argues against these assumptions and presents a different picture from that presented by Lynn and Vanhanen about the concept of intelligence, what IQ measures and does not measure. The essay exposes the racist, sexist, and antihuman nature of the research tradition in which the authors anchored their studies and the deep methodological flaws and theoretical assumptions that appear in their book. The low standards of scholarship evident in the book render it largely irrelevant for modern science. This essay specifically deals with the IQ value of Ethiopian immigrants that came from Israel, used by the authors as representing the National Education Review Vol. 10 No. 6 http://edrev.asu.edu 2 Average IQ of Ethiopia. Most of these immigrants had rudimentary knowledge of literacy, and experienced an abrupt...

...BRAIN DRAIN Human capital flight, more commonly referred to as "brain drain", is the large-scale emigration of individuals with technical skills or knowledge. The reasons usually include two aspects which respectively come from countries and individuals. In terms of countries, the reasons may be social environment (in source countries: lack of opportunities, political instability, economic depression, health risks; in host countries: rich opportunities, political stability and freedom, developed economy, better living conditions). In terms of individual reasons, there are family influences (overseas relatives, and personal preference: preference for exploring, ambition for an improved career, etc. Although the term originally referred to technology workers leaving a nation, the meaning has broadened into: "the departure of educated or professional people from one country, economic sector, or field for another, usually for better pay or living conditions". Brain drain is usually regarded as an economic cost, since emigrants usually take with them the fraction of value of their training sponsored by the government or other organizations. It is a parallel of capital flight, which refers to the same movement of financial capital. Brain drain is often associated with de-skilling of emigrants in their country of destination, while their country of emigration experiences the draining of skilled individuals. The term brain drain was coined by the Royal Society to describe the emigration...

Since 2010, AIMUN has successfully engaged youth from diverse nationalities and cultures in challenging debates, year after year. Globalization has virtually erased geographical boundaries and the virtual world has made distance a meaningless word. While the altered landscape has benefitted the world in many ways, new problems and challenges have surfaced too. UN simulations at AIMUN capture the trials and tribulations faced by today’s world. Proceedings in the AIMUN sensitize our delegates to international affairs and ignite their passion to bring change in a responsible and sustainable manner. Amity’s core philosophy of nurturing global leaders is so beautifully expressed in AIMUN conferences. This year we are back with renewed vigor and offer youth from across the world a dynamic platform where they will apply their young minds through discussion and debate to resolve crises which confront our world. I am confident AIMUN will, like it has earlier, inculcate the United Nations ethos in our young global leaders and inspire them to build an international community where every...

...1. EXECUUITIVE SUMMARY Cultural influences on organizational cultures and practices have become a very important research topic in the field of management and organization since the last decades of the 20th century. National culture has been seen as one of the most influential situational factors, which determine organizational phenomena. More recently, after the collapse of socialism, the role of national culture in organizational practices in countries that are in transition is becoming a widely recognized and studied topic. However, empirical studies about cultural influences on organizational subcultures and leadership styles in Ethiopian organizations are not very frequent in contemporary literature. In fact, there are almost no relevant attempts to examine these phenomena. Nevertheless, after democratic political changes in May 1991, we can observe a growing interest in understanding national culture and leadership practices in Ethiopian organizations, as well as in the whole Ethiopian society. Therefore, the main purpose of this assignment paper is to investigate the influence of national culture on organizational culture and practices (subcultures and leadership styles) in Ethiopian organizations. Widely known Geert Hofstede’s value/belief theory of culture (Hofstede, 2001) with its theoretical and methodological premises has been used as a starting point of this assignment. 1 2. 2.1.

AWATEY, Samuel* Development Planning Officer, Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development, Ghana. * E-mail of the corresponding author: profdealfas@yahoo.com Abstract This study employed the livelihood approach to examine the effects of streetism on the livelihoods of children who live and make their living on the streets of Kumasi. The study examines the causative factors that push children on to the streets, their encounters and experiences in their attempts to cope with street life. The study used both quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data was collected from 50 street children in eight areas in Kumasi where the street children are predominant. The study identified that children who live on the street adopt a range of survival strategies, both legal and/or illegal, to confront the challenges of urban street life. The study further identified that the plight of children arises not so much out of negative experiences they have gone through such as child abuse or child neglect but broadly to the absence of and inadequate programmes resulting from the low-priority placed on issues related to child welfare in the country generally. These challenge human right and underpin injustice in the country. The problems street children...

Introduction Globalization and international trade have been around for millennia. Over the most part of the past century, nations have increased the amount of trade that crosses international borders. As trade agreements are made between countries, one nation’s resources become available to another nation’s citizens. The resources in each country are limited and scarce. The differences and availability of the proportions of each nation’s input factors of production is the catalyst for trade (Pugel, 2004). These factors include land, labor, capital, and enterprise. Land is the real estate that is comprised within the country’s border. It contains the natural resources that are limited in nature, such as oil, gold, silver, coal, etc. It also includes resources that can be grown on the land such as timber and agricultural products, which are limited by the size of the land that is available to grow such products and technology. Labor includes the skill sets of a nation’s people and is limited by the population size. Labor can be divided in to skilled and unskilled. In some countries...
