Eric Ingram Chapter 11: Terrorism Critical Thinking Questions 1. Could the adoption of isolationism as a foreign policy for the United States be practical and economical while maintaining a defensive position against foreign and domestic enemies? 2. Political biases aside, after more than a decade of the Patriot Act in effect, is the United States better protected from terrorism than before the 9/11 attacks? Dan Osgood-Ch.17 1. Should public policy be solely formed on research data and scientific evidence compared to the moral entrepreneur policymaking process? 2. Assuming the author is correct: that moral entrepreneurs base their motivations off of single case phenomenon’s, and not common occurrences, the question can be asked is this justifiable when the benefit only helps out the select few while limiting the liberties of many? Example: Banning all cell phone use while driving. Joe Atchue 1. What are some cultural formations that exist within structural conditions that both enable and constrain individual action? 2. Being a part of a cultural environment that seems to justify criminal behavior does not by itself explain why only some people raised in such cultures actually become criminals while many others do...

...Esplana (2013) cited that the estimated total demand of honey in the Philippines per year is about 370 to 535 tons and only about 150 tons are produced locally which come from four species of bees namely: Apis cerana (alig), Apis dorsata (ayukan), Tetragunola spp. (stingless bees, lukot or lukotan) and the Apis mellifera (foreign/European bee). According to the National Apiculture Research Training and Development Institute (NARTDI), in 2004, there were 434 beekeepers in the country but in 2012, the number reduced by almost half, only 261 beekeepers left. Based from records gathered by NARTDI (2016), at present, there are only 202 active beekeepers with a total of 1,434 colony holdings in the Philippines. Among the regions where there are beekeeping projects, Region 1 and the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), have the most number of beekeepers. With little knowledge about the honeybees and their importance to human life, it is of no doubt that there is a limited number of people who are into keeping Apis mellifera species of bees compared to other commodities like livestock and poultry which are common...

...makers often see entrepreneurship as a panacea for inclusive growth in underdeveloped ‘Base of the Pyramid’ (BOP) regions, but it may also lead to unanticipated negative outcomes such as crime and social exclusion. Our objective is to improve the understanding of how entrepreneurship policies can lead to socially inclusive growth at the BOP. Drawing on data collected from Brazilian tourism destinations with varying entrepreneurship, innovation, and social inclusion policies, we argue that weak institutions coupled with alert entrepreneurs encourage destructive outcomes, especially if entrepreneurship policies are based solely on economic indicators. Policies addressing both economic and social perspectives may foster more productive entrepreneurial outcomes, albeit at a more constrained economic pace. The study extends the related BOP, entrepreneurship, global value chain, and sustainable tourism literatures by examining the poor as entrepreneurs, the role of local innovation, and how entrepreneurship policies generate different social impacts within poor communities. Keywords: base of the pyramid (BOP), entrepreneurship policy, innovation, social entrepreneurship, social inclusion, tourism industry INTRODUCTION Policy makers have identified entrepreneurship as a mechanism to alleviate poverty (Hart, 2007; Matten and Crane, 2005; Peredo and Chrisman, 2006), particularly in ‘Base of the Pyramid’ (BOP) regions, where impoverished socio-economic groups have...

...1991, 1998, Ministry of Finance 1996). Although the discovery of natural gas in the early nineties catapulted Trinidad’s economic growth rate to four percent per annum, unemployment and poverty continue to affect a large portion of the population. The majority of the population has not benefited from Trinidad’s economic growth. Thus, the government has attempted to create “a nation of entrepreneurs” in order to relieve some of the inequality that defines the society (Ministry of Trade and Industry 1997). Trinidad’s expansion of micro-enterprise programs reflects an international trend. Endorsed by non-governmental organizations, private financial institutions, international development agencies, including the World Bank, many scholars and development practitioners also view microenterprise assistance as a panacea for Third World poverty (Johnson and Kidder, 1999; Mosley and Hulme, 1998; Dignard and Havet, 1995; Grosh and Somolekae, 1996; Rakowski, 1994). Micro-enterprise development programs generally consist of training in business skills or providing small loans or credit to micro-entrepreneurs (Dignard and Havet, 1995; International Labour Organization, 1995; Rakowski, 1994). These programs typically target self-employed individuals or businesses with five or fewer employees both of which are characteristic of the informal sector. The micro-enterprise strategy for development is gendered. Not only do micro-enterprise...

...Shangri-La, Glorietta, and Greenbelt recently, do you notice the majority of the ramen restaurants? I for one have visited the malls frequently since I was young and recently I have been seeing quite a number of ramen restaurants opening which is quite unusual since you won’t normally open a restaurant unless you see it as a business opportunity right? The ramen restaurants have been opening one after another due to its popularity and success which entrepreneurs saw as an opportunity to open other famous ramen restaurants as it has become a trend. In SM Megamall as I walk inside the new Mega Fashion Hall crowded with people in the late night, I take the elevator to go up on the 3rd floor of the building where the well-known recently opened ramen restaurant called Ippudo Ramen is. The first sight that will appear before your eyes after the elevator doors open will be a crowd of people lining up for Ippudo. The wait is definitely worth it as the food there is extravagant and definitely food that you will come back with. In an interview from Shigemi Kawahara, he said that the reason people line up in Ipuddo might be “Because it’s delicious. We train our staff that every single bowl of ramen has to have a smile and maybe our customers can feel that. It’s very easy to serve a good bowl of ramen. Delicious ramen is everywhere, but what’s important to us is the quality, the service and the cleanliness” (Japan’s World-Famous Ramen House Opens in Manila). I have eaten their food and I...
