...Refugees: help or not to help One of the major problems facing the world today is the growing number of refugees. The developed nations in the world should tackle this problem by taking in more refugees. To what extent do you agree with this opinion? There is little doubt that the issue of refugees is a global problem. While it most immediately affects developing nations, there is a strong argument that industrialised countries should help by allowing higher levels of immigration. This is certainly not an easy issue though, because historically immigration has caused as many problems as it solves. The principal reason why developed nations should help is that we now live in a global village and it is no longer possible to ignore what happens on the other side of the world. This is partly a moral issue and partly because it is in the economic self-interest of industrialised nations to ensure that developing nations continue to progress. A practical way of achieving this would be to accept more immigration, particularly when it is caused by natural disasters or civil war. I would argue, however, that this is not an open and shut case, as there is a negative side to mass immigration. The multi-cultural experiments in Europe have not always succeeded and immigrants have often suffered badly from racism and other prejudices. On a practical level, refugees are sometimes better off receiving aid in their native land than begging on the streets in a country where they cannot speak...

...methodology The definition of online shopping we use is online purchasing of physical merchandise such as clothes, books, and electronic items. This covers the same merchandise categories as used in the retail sales statistics published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Statistics New Zealand, and therefore online sales can be directly compared with total retail sales. The study excludes online purchasing of services such as travel & accommodation, event ticketing, financial services products and media downloads, as these categories are not included in the retail sales statistics. Purchases of items from online auction sites (such as eBay) are also excluded, but purchases of fixedprice items from sites such as eBay are included in the analysis. Online shopping is defined as occasions where a transaction is made online (generally with the payment being made at the time of the transaction) and excludes online browsing or research with the transaction subsequently being made in a physical store or via the telephone or another channel. All business-to-business (B2B) online purchasing is also excluded. The report is based on a comprehensive survey of 1,200 consumers (1,000 in Australia and 200 in New Zealand) between the ages of 15 and 65 who have shopped online in the past 12 months, with online shoppers being asked to record their online shopping behaviour in terms of total online shopping expenditure, both overall and by merchandise category, the reasons that they shop online and...

...The causes of inflationary pressure on New Zealand’s economy The Official Cash Rate is the interest rate set by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to meet or keep inflation under control since 1999. So it is a very important and basic monetary tool for New Zealand’s government to adjust or indicate the market interest rates with the banks in NZ. Generally, the market interest rates are set or held around at the RBNZ’S OCR level. For example, if the OCR is set higher than before, then the market interest rates for savers is going to increase as well. As a result, people in NZ will tend to spend less for goods and services and place more deposits with the Banks in NZ. On the contrary, people in NZ for loans or mortgages are inclined to borrow less money from Banks. It is because the interest rate for loans may have to be paid higher by individuals or businesses in NZ (RBNZ, 2012). Under this kind of situation, in recent years, due to there are rapid decreases on the OCR in New Zealand, It caused more and more lending activities of commercial banks to all kinds of individual and commercial loan applications. This sort of economic activity could result in the increase of inflationary pressure on the New Zealand’s economy. Whereas, the reason for the inflation of New Zealand is not just that simple or the rising inflation in recent years should not be completely attributable to the lending activities. But also should take other factors into account. In effect, the rate of inflation...

...Reflection Paper Mr. Anthony Stannard the counselor for the development of the Australian Government held a conference in APIA, Samoa on Feb. 16, 2014 to address some of services and programs that their Australians aid funds and supports. They specifically talked about the Pacific Gender Justice Knowledge Exchange and announced their new website which starts a new Pacific Gender Justice Network for Pacific islanders to cooperate and work together on gender justice. The Australian government has agreed to donate more than $20 million tala (currency of Samoa) over ten years. Over fifty percent of this financial aid goes to programs and policies that focus of empowering women and young girls in the Indo-Pacific region. The reason why the Australian government is providing financial aid to these undeveloped pacific islands is because the Australian government believes that when a there is equal rights and opportunities for both men and women that this enables development to progress. They also believe that because there is equal opportunities and rights for both men and women that economically its an advantage for a country to provide the means for this type of environment to upraise because in the long term the economy would grow at a rapid pace then it would if only men were to have these opportunities. It was also mentioned that there would be less corruption when there is equal rights and opportunities among men and women. I think that this program will contribute...

...Katherine Mansfield Beauchamp Murry (14 October 1888 – 9 January 1923) was a well-known modernist writer of short fiction who was born and brought up in colonial New Zealand and wrote under the pen name of Katherine Mansfield. When she was 19 Katherine left New Zealand and settled in the United Kingdom, where she became friends with modernist writers such as D.H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf. Her first published stories appeared in the High School Reporter and the Wellington Girls' High School magazine (the family returned to Wellington proper in 1898), in 1898 and 1899. In 1902 she became in love of a cellist, Arnold Trowell, although the feelings were largely unanswered. Mansfield herself was an accomplished cellist, having received lessons from Trowell's father. Mansfield wrote in her journals of feeling disturbed in New Zealand, and of how she had become disillusioned because of the repression of the Māori people. Maori characters are often portrayed in a sympathetic or positive light in her later stories, such as "How Pearl Button Was Kidnapped”. In 1903 she moved to London, where she attended Queen's College along with her sisters. Mansfield recommenced playing the cello, an occupation that she believed she would take up professionally, but she also began contributing to the college newspaper with such dedication that she eventually became its editor. She met fellow writer Ida Baker (also known as Lesley Moore), a South African, at the college, and they became lifelong friends...

...unveiled its new global manufacturing strategy. As announced earlier today, the Company has acquired land and buildings and a refrigeration manufacturing plant located in Reynosa, Mexico. The new global manufacturing strategy involves shifting three of the Company’s manufacturing facilities to a combination of existing sites in Thailand and Italy and its recently purchased facility in Mexico. Inclusive of the Reynosa acquisition and the new North American DishDrawer line announced late last year, the financial benefits arising from the new strategy are expected to be in the vicinity of $50 million per annum, at a one off cost of approximately $50 million, both at a pre tax level. Capital expenditure is estimated at approximately $100 million. The cost of the moves will be substantially funded from the sale of what will become surplus property in New Zealand and Australia, which is expected to realise approximately $100 million. Additional savings are also anticipated from the sourcing of components from the respective local vendors. Working capital required for the shifts will be globally neutral. The one off costs of the relocations will be substantially provisioned for in the 2008/09 financial year. The Range & DishDrawer factory in Dunedin, New Zealand, along with the refrigerator plant in Brisbane, Australia and the DCS cooking factory in California, USA will all be relocated over the next 12-18 months. The remaining production facilities in Auckland, New Zealand (Refrigeration...

...Maori Body Ornaments and Jewelry Introduction New Zealand is an island located in the Pacific Ocean. This island consists of a very interesting group of people called the Maori. The Maori people are Polynesian decent. People who are Polynesian are usually people who come from the islands and have the same morals, values, beliefs and also the same language. The Maori people consist of just that. The Maori believe in many different origins and they have many traditional attributions that flow deeply into their cultural beliefs. One of the Maori’s cultural and traditional activities is creating body ornaments and jewelry. If not some but all of the Maori body ornaments and jewelry have a story, religious meaning or historic attribute towards that item in particular. The Maori make their jewelry with passion and strength, it also lets a strong awareness come about it. Maori designs are very harmonious with its crafters tradition and beliefs. Body Ornaments and Jewelry The Maori people are a very distinctive and decorative race. They have a very interesting way of expressing themselves. They have very distinctive cultural tattoos, somewhat unusual body piercings, and handcrafted jewelry(Deluxe Templates,2009). The handcrafted body ornaments and jewelry play a very important role in the Maori culture(pp.3). Each piece is made with a lot of time, effort, passion, strength, love, a lot of a detail and precision. During the 10th century, the Maori made spectacular achievements...

...1. Discuss what should be ADDED to the bungee jump tape. I would add security information and contact information to the video. Nowadays we can read often articles online about bungee jumping disasters where the cord broke or was not adjusted properly. Zimbabwe is not a really developed country so tourist from Europe or the United States can be afraid of the leak of security, which leads to fewer people jumping. So I would add at least 5 different examples about the high safety standard they use. The other thing I would add is some contact information at the beginning and end of the video. A website, phone number and address at least. Price information at the end could also strength the promotional effect of the video. A high definition version of the video would also be needed today. Since the video is old it is understandable that there were no available technical equipment’s at the end of the 90’s for this. (the video is from 18.1.1999) I have found the music they have used in the video was very good. I add this information to give some positive feedback also. 2. Discuss what should be DELETED from the bungee jump tape. I would remove some of the jumps. In my eyes the jumps are not categorized and there are too many of them displayed. Fewer jump videos could do more in this case. Another thing is the slow motion snap shot part at the end of the video. I thing this is completely useless and is bad designed. I would simply remove it. 3. Select three areas...

...Ericka Silva ANT101 Intro to Cultural Anthropology Katie Custer Mar. 4, 2013 Running Head: MAORI Page 2 The Mighty Maori The Maori were people that were said to have come from Tahiti and arrived in New Zealand in the 14th Century time frame. They came in what was called “the seven canoes of the great fleet”. (Latham, C; 1996) They are considered to be Polynesians and originally had found their home in the top parts of New Zealand. They are what we call “foragers” in the Anthropology world. Foragers are those cultures that hunt and gather from the land in which they live on. (Nowak, B/Laird, P; 2010) In the following pages I will describe how this culture lived and survived. I will describe how their ways of life were and events that came about. In 1350 they were a tribe that migrated from the Polynesian islands and had made their way to New Zealand. These foragers came in a mass group and were mostly hunters and fishermen. When they migrated they had brought their own plants and animals that they had domesticated themselves. Unfortunately most of it did not make it through the travel because the climates were too different and the animals and plants were not used to the new land. For many centuries these people survived and flourished in their new land. The Maori have a unique way of believing that there are supernatural ways that help them. They believed in the spiritual aspect of things from this world. The Maori thought that an object or even a person...
