...The purpose of this report is to explore the cultural determinants of both Japan and United States. The report elucidates the differences between the two countries in terms of leadership styles as influenced by their respective different cultures. The reason in selecting Japan as one of the research countries is because of its deep rooted strong cultural beliefs and group centered style in a business perspective. It is well known to the world that Japan is a closed economy but at the same time, extremely competitive. On the other hand, United States make a good contrast in terms of its open culture and individualistic style of doing business. Despite the differences, both are amongst the most competitive and successful nations in the world. The compromising Japanese and confrontational Americans do make this research journey an exciting and interesting one. Different cultures exist in the world and their impact on leadership styles in their respective countries is significant. As defined by Luthans and Doh (2009, p96), “Culture is the acquired knowledge that people use to interpret experience and generate social behaviour.” And culture is gained through transmissions between individuals in forms of symbols, rituals, languages, stories told and etc. It will be interesting to find out that the countries’ cultures do in fact influence their leadership styles to quite a great extent. In this report, two entirely different cultures; Japan and United States will be explored in...

...The global economic recession has strongly created a lot of economics problems in world wide, such as consumer purchases fall, increase in unemployment and decline in house price . In the United Kingdom, housing prices also dropped, but during August the average cost for a home rose by 1.6%. This is, according to the article, mainly because of low interest rates and shortage of supply. Low interest rate, the rate at which interest is paid by borrowers (debtors) for the use of money that they borrow from lenders (creditors), would create a outward shift in demand, which means the willingness and ability of buying commodity goods would increase. This happens is because low interest rate encourage buyer(consumer) to borrow more, which lead to an increase of spending, therefore this makes the equilibrium moved to a new position, resulting in a increase in price. According the article, the problem of house price is also cased by the mortgage repayments. Low interest rates would lead to lower mortgage repayments, this means that homeowners, usually predicted to sell their homes during a recession, to refrain from doing so. This again create a inward shift in supply of home, the willingness and ability of providing a commodity decreases, as less owners decided to sell their house, which in result the position of the equilibrium would change and lead to a increase in price about 1.6%. As mentioned in the article, someone predicted that when there...

...Inquiry into Marine and Coastal Pollution CONTENTS CHAPTER 2 ▪ BACKGROUND ▪ General ▪ The Problems ▪ Declining water quality ▪ Loss of marine and coastal habitats ▪ Lack of strategic planning and management practices ▪ Lack of marine science policy CHAPTER 2 BACKGROUND General As an island continent with a long coastline Australia has many different marine and estuarine environments. These span a wide range of coastal types, climates and geological and biological regions, which house a rich store of biological diversity. Many are far away from major population centres and are little affected by human activities. Large stretches of the coastline are among the least polluted places on earth.Australia's marine environment spans almost 60 degrees in latitude, from Torres Strait to Heard and Macquarie Islands, and 75 degrees longitude, from Cocos Island to Norfolk Island. In November 1994 the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) came into effect, and with it Australia's declaration of its 200 mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The EEZ covers over 11 million square kilometres, one of the largest in the world.UNCLOS provides the rights to exploit the natural resources of the EEZ but also obliges Australia, under Article 192, to protect and preserve the marine environment of the EEZ. The Convention requires Australia to prevent land based and ship sourced marine pollution...

Biruin niyo ba naman kasi, halos dalawang oras na kami dito, same boutique, same designer, ayaw naming pumunta sa iba, h#ck! Wala pa rin siyang napipiling bilhin. She just smiles at me.

Masyado na siyang nagiging maarte, kahit kapatid ko yung boyfriend nito, naku! Ka-stress silang dalawa ha. “Ang arte mo na ha! Kung wala ka namang nagagandahan dun sa boutique nung company namin, dapat sinabi mo na agad, leche naman Meg oh, yan mamili ka.” Maybe that’s answer why no one bothers to stop me when I run away with this bitch. Dinala ko siya sa isa pang clothing line dito sa mall, ewan ko na lang talaga kung wala pa siyang mapili dito, eh halos lahat ng styles nandito na. “You really had no patience within your skin.” Pigilan niyo ko, masasabunutan ko na talaga ang nilalang na ‘to. Sa two hours na kahihintay ko sa kanya, yan pa ang mapapala ko? Bullcrap! “Hey i’m just kidding.” Mabilis na tugon nito nung tiningnan ko siya ng masama. “I have no time for that Meg, i’m freaking hungry.

For the film, TV and opera adaptations, see The Great Gatsby (disambiguation). The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald that follows a cast of characters living in the fictional town of West Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922. The story primarily concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion and obsession for the beautiful debutante Daisy Buchanan. Considered to be Fitzgerald's magnum opus, The Great Gatsby explores themes of decadence, idealism, resistance to change, social upheaval, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding theAmerican Dream.[1][2] Fitzgerald, inspired by the parties he had attended while visiting Long Island's north shore, began planning the novel in 1923 desiring to produce, in his words, "something new—something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and intricately patterned."[3] Progress was slow with Fitzgerald completing his first draft following a move to the French Riviera in 1924. His editor, Maxwell Perkins, felt the book...

...Đến gặp nhà thơ Y Phương, tác giả của bài thơ “Nói với con” (SGK lớp 9) tại nhà riêng của ông, chúng tôi không khỏi ngạc nhiên với nhà thơ người dân tộc Tày này. Cánh cửa nhà mở toang, vọng ra tiếng ông đang ngâm một bài thơ tiếng Tày đầy sảng khoái. Khi chúng tôi tới, ông vừa gò lưng lau nhà vừa hát thơ. Ngẩng đầu lên, ông tươi cười, thay cho lời chào đáp lại ông nói:“nghề chính của tôi là tạp vụ, có nghề phụ làm thơ.” * Đó là lúctôi dường như không biết lấy gì để vịn! Sốngtrên đá không chê đá gập ghềnh Sống trong thung không chê thung nghèo đói Sống như sông như suối Lên thác xuống ghềnh Không lo cực nhọc” Vợ chồng chúng tôi sinh cô con gái đầu lòng vào giữa năm 1979. Bài thơ “Nói với con” tôi viết năm 1980. Đó là thời điểm đất nước ta gặp vô vàn khó khăn. Thời kỳ cả nước mới thoát ra khỏi cuộc chiến tranh chống Mỹ lâu dài và gian khổ. Giống như một người mới ốm dậy, xã hội khi ấy bắt đầu xuất hiện người tốt, kẻ xấu để tranh giành sự sống. Thực ra, theo tôi không có con người xấu, mà chỉ có những tính xấu như trộm cắp, tham nhũng, lừa đảo, sự dối trá…Ta phải biến những cái xấu ấy thành “phân”, để “bón” cho cây cối và làm giàu cho đất cát. Bài thơ với nhan đề là “Nói với con”, đó là lời tâm sự của tôi với đứa con gái đầu lòng. Tâm sự với con còn là tâm sự với chính mình. Nguyên do thì nhiều, nhưng lý do lớn nhất để bài thơ ra đời chính là lúc tôi dường như không biết lấy gì để vịn, để tin. Cả xã hội lúc bấy giờ đang hối hả gấp gáp kiếm tìm tiền bạc. Muốn sống đàng...

...Набережна Катерина Політологія «Вплив політичного режиму та етнічних проблем на траекторію політичного розвитку Зімбабве» На сучасний стан розвитку Зімбабве мав першочерговий вплив політичний режим, встановлений диктатурою Роберта Мугабе. Авторитарний режим являє собою державний лад, при якому всю чи більшу частину влади зосереджено в руках однієї особи чи групи осіб, тобто політичний плюралізм є обмеженим, відсутня всепояснювальна ідеологія, низький рівень соціальної мобілізації. Характерними рисами є монополізація влади і політики, недопущення реальної політичної опозиції і конкуренції, місцевого самоврядування, застосування репресій і терору. Саме такі риси були притаманні Зімбабве. Після здобуття незалежності в Зімбабве відбуваються вибори до парламенту, який на той час мав двопартійну систему. Двома конкуруючими партіями були Африканський Національний Союз (ЗАНУ) на чолі з Робертом Мугабе та Союз Африканського Народу Зімбабве (ЗАПУ), очолюваний Джошуа Нкомо. Ці дві партії підтримувалися різними етнічними групами: ЗАНУ підтримували шона, а ЗАПУ – ндебеле. Партія Мугабе перемагає на виборах та створює коаліцію з ЗАПУ задля знищення опозиції та створення однопартійної системи. Мугабе запропонував лідеру партії ЗАПУ Джошуа Нкомо на вибір будь-яку посаду в уряді, і Нкомо зайняв пост міністра внутрішніх справ. У 1982 році коаліція була ліквідована внаслідок обвинувачення Нкомо у організації політичного заговору з метою організації державного перевороту, яке було висунуте Робертом...
