...Canada respect seems to be slowly disappearing from their culture. Their children are given too much of freedom at a very small age. Children over there are given the authority to report their parent’s unnecessary strict behavior to the police and be taken away from them. This power that their children are given at a very small age somehow reduces the level of respect they have for their parents or which their parents deserve. Leaving your parents on the mercy of old age homes is a very common practice over there. Once a person gets self-dependent he just leaves his parent’s house and gets shifted to a new one and everyone thinks its okay. In Pakistan, any person who engages in such behavior is considered ill-mannered and such acts are seen as unethical and immoral. We are supposed to respect our parents at all times, even if they are extremely controlling and sons live with their parents and take care of them when they are old and weak because that’s what is the right thing to do. Our parents spend their whole lives working really hard so that they could give us a good standard of life so when they are old and weak it’s our responsibility to ensure that they spend a happy and peaceful life. I have spent a good part of my life learning to treat my parents with love and respect and I would retain this very strong cultural value of Pakistan. Teachers in our culture are also given a lot of respect. According to Pakistani culture teachers play an important role in shaping a child’s personality...

..."Do you think that Pakistan is a nation that has a national culture of its own? The passport I have says my nationality is Pakistani which clearly carries the implication that Pakistan is a nation. This essay deals with the question whether this nation has a national culture of its own. I however would first like to ask, if Pakistan is a nation in the first place. The difference between a nation and a state cannot be more clearly defined than by the situation of our country. A nation is a sociological and psychological phenomenon; it's a group of common people who share the same heritage, origin, history, language and culture. It is people who possess similar thinking and are unified by a sense of belonging. A state on the other hand is a legal term for administrative control over a piece of land. Pakistan can very well be defined as a state where hierarchy is present in the people and the status quo is clearly set. However, trying to fit Pakistan into a definition of a nation is, in my opinion, a daunting task. And since I think we Pakistanis are essentially not a nation, I also think that we do not have a national culture of our own. It is no secret that Pakistan is a land full of versatility and diversity in terms of both geography and ethnicity. Up north we have the cold mountains of the Himalayas and lush green valleys and hills around the province of KPK which is land of the Pashtuns. Coming down, we have the vast fertile plains of Punjab which are essential for our...

...American Cultural Beliefs Vs. Pakistani Cultural Beliefs In An American Brat,many cultural differences are evident. Feroza is a Pakistani and she and her family have divergent traditions. For example, Pakistan was as an Islamic nation and Islam continues to be the religion of approximately 95% of the population. There are also small groups of Buddhist Christians Parsis and Hindus. The Muslim religion was founded by the Prophet Muhammad in seventeenth century, when, according to the Islamic belief, he received messages from God and wrote them down in what became the Qur'an, the Islamic book that instructs Muslims on how to conduct their lives. Feroza explains how her family celebrates their religious ceremonies and how religion plays a mammoth role in Feroza’s life. Throughout An American Brat, Feroza explains her religious beliefs and her family’s traditions. Feroza covered her head with a scarf, daubed her eyes with water from a silver jar, and performed her kusti in the lobby, As she unwound the sacred thread girdling her waist and retied the knots in the front and the back, she asked Ahura Mazda’s forgiveness for every ignoble thought, word, and deed she was guilty of and prayed that she might have the good thoughts, the eloquent tongue, and the strength to...

...PAKISTANI FOOD FOOD Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells in an effort to produce energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth. Historically, people secured food through two methods: hunting and gathering, and agriculture. Today, most of the food energy consumed by the world population is supplied by the food industry, which is operated by multinational corporations that use intensive farming and agriculture to maximize system output. FOOD SOURCES Almost all foods are of plant or animal origin. Cereal grain is a food that provides more food energy worldwide than any other type of crop. Maize, wheat, and rice - in all of their varieties - account for 87% of all grain production worldwide. Other foods not from animal or plant sources include various edible fungi, especially mushrooms. Fungi and ambient bacteria are used in the preparation of fermented and pickled foods like leavened bread, alcoholic drinks, cheese, pickles and yogurt. Inorganic substances such as soda and cream of tartar are also used to chemically alter an ingredient. PLANTS Many plants or plant parts are eaten as food. There are around 2,000 plant species which are cultivated for food, and many have several distinct cultivars. Seeds of plants are a good...

...Name: Course: Date: Education in the modern world As the world becomes more civilized and connected, global competitiveness makes it the duty of every global citizen and government to reconcile the true meaning of education to the standards and practices applied in learning. Without this societal reflection, a country or person risks lagging behind as the world progresses. This paper seeks to understand education and its place in the 21st century society. The first step in this quest is to ask the question, what is education? There exist a myriad of definitions on education. Key to every definition is the transfer of knowledge, values and skills. This knowledge transfer requires an knowledgeable guide or tutor to impart what they know to a willing learner. This is a process of illumination for the learner. As Will Durant eloquently states, “Education is a progressive discovery of our ignorance” (Durant). Every great kingdom throughout history has placed a premium on education. From the library of Alexandria in ancient Egypt to the depth of information on the internet, education remains at the heart of every successful society. Currently, modern formal education has largely failed to provide value to learners. The most common forms of modern formal education employ rote memorization. Knowledge imparted does not go beyond the testing stage. Another failure by modern learning institutions is their over emphasis on the academic aspects of education. These institutions forget that...

Revenue The definition of revenue is the income generated from sale of goods or services, or any other use of capital or assets, associated with the main operations of an organization before any costs or expenses are deducted. I got this from business dictionary. To work out revenue you do quantity sold x selling price Importance of revenue An increase in revenue could mean an increase in profit, however if revenue increases, expenses will also increase and so the percentage change in profit will not shift as much as one might think. Also increase in revenue could also lead to more investments back into the business, for example to buy new technology, staff training, extending a department etc. The strategies that will help to increase Diamond Kebabs revenue is: Advertising price reduction, price increase, free gifts, bogof (buy one get one free), and product range.

...Shor bhaja. How many of the above have you tasted? I should have put on an introductory disclaimer for all the diabetic patients. I still make it clear that I have no intention to hurt the gustatory sentiments of people suffering from diabetes mellitus. My point is to grab your attention to the outspread variety of Indian sweets notwithstanding I have listed merely few of the most popular ones. I landed up on researching this diversity when I was looking for the reason dessert came into being. You might be amused to learn the birth of “dessert” came from old French word, “desservir” which meant “cleaning the table”. That is what it does, it cleans the table and fills people up over the brim. Interestingly, like languages, tastes and cultures, ingredients of sweets also differ distinctly regionally. The northern sweets are more filled with milk cream, eastern sweets mostly contain chhena or cheese while southern and western people are obsessed with coconut. West Bengal has a very palatable variants of food and boasts a rich sweet tradition. People normally get stuck with the sensational Rosogolla but there are other delectable sweets which remain hidden from the national limelight. The Kheer Kadam is one of them. Just like Christopher Nolan’s Inception comes with the idea of dream within a dream, so does that of a Kheer Kadam. Just when you bite the the Khoya crust there is a different surprise within. Similarly there are regional exquisite specimens. Namely Jaynagar’s Moya...

...Pani puri Pani puri consists of crisp fried round, hollow puri filled with black chick peas and potatoes and mint sauce seasoned with spices. The combination of tangy, sour, and sweet taste of this food is what makes it one of my most favorite food in the world. When I was little, I used to eat pani puris at least once every week. Every time I hear someone mention pani puri, I get water in my mouth. Pani puri is a food that can be eaten at any time of the day- for lunch, as a snack or even for dinner. Pani puri is easily available; anyone can eat it and it refreshes your mood. Pani puri is easily available in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and other surrounding countries. Most people eat them at mobile stalls on the side of the roads. These stalls are all over the cities, as well as in villages. There are stalls that roam around the cities and possibility of seeing one of these stalls passing by your house is very high. If you are one of those people who avoids eating out as much as possible,making puris is a very tricky and time consuming work. There are shops that make the puris and sell them. They are not very expensive, so most people can afford to buy them. All the other ingredients only take about an hour, at most, to make. But because of its widespread availability, anyone can eat it.

...Culture Definition A simple definition of culture is that it is the human response to the forces of Nature and History. According to the (World Conference on Culture Policies, Mexico 1982)Culture is “the whole complex of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features that characterize a society or social group. It includes not only arts and letters, but also modes of life, the fundamental rights of the human being, value systems, traditions and beliefs." PAKISTANI CULTURE Pakistan is the country full of natural and cultural wealth. Pakistan has its own unique and specific cultural identification. Culture and heritage of Pakistan reflects the extra ordinary skill and devotion of Pakistani people. Pakistani people are playing a vital role in the presentation, development and promotion of Pakistani culture. The Pakistani culture is dominated by Islamic tradition and heritage. Islamic heritage has great impact on Pakistani culture. In ancient times, Pakistan was a major cultural hub. Many cultural practices and great monuments have been inherited from the time of the ancient rulers of the region. One of the greatest cultural influences was that of the Persian Empire, of which Pakistan was a part. In fact, the Pakistani satraps were at one time the richest and most productive of the massive Persian Empire. Other key influences include the Afghan Empire, Mughal Empire and later, the short-lived but influential, the British...

Its purpose was to prepare a methodology to measure the elements that make up the organizational culture of a company in the I-10 Industrial Zone, Islamabad. This study researched the company’s cultural profile and the most important aspects of this culture, and it suggested recommendations on which to base its strategic plan.

The instrument was validated in terms of items and reliability. Means and correlation coefficients were used as statistics to analyze the data. The analyses were based on 27 statements encompassing the nine cultural traits, and they were answered by 30 executives who make up the company’s board of directors. The results showed a preponderance of the flexibility trait. Power concentration and personalism hawed average preponderance. The least evident traits were Personal Loyalty, Impunity, Expectant Posture, Formalism, and Conflict Avoidance. 1.
