Manufacturing in Asia is relatively cheap, hence the recommendation to put efforts into R&D of materials, manufacturing and work closely with suppliers and manufacturers to keep costs low, for higher profit margins. 1 USA’s market is attractive, however competition is stiff with GM and Ford. Toyota needs to increase positive consumer perceptions to push sales and establish itself as a market leader. Latin America is a growing market with an unstable and undominated automotive industry. Toyota can choose selective markets or products and use an S-O to attack the market and establish presence. This strategy can apply to Africa too, with an added advantage that Africa is geographically closer to manufacturing plants in Asia. Europe has seen a fall...

...Saved By the Bell: The College years is an inaccurate portrayal of college because of it is responsibilities , class attendance , but their social problems are relatable. Saved By the Bell: The College years is a spin off from Saved By the Bell. The show follows the adult lives of Zack Morris, A.C. Slater, Screech Powers, Leslie Burke , Alex Tabor and Kelly Kapowski. The show is based on the cast lives after high school transitioning into college. It takes place at California University. The characters are shown going through different adult – hood like problems , while tackling them ahead , and juggling their school work all at once. The actors in the show made having no responsibilities look fun in college. In season one episode fifteen the show starts off with Zack debating with the other cast- mates if throwing a rave is something that he should do. Zack continues to contemplate back and forth rather if he should throw a rave or sacrifice himself being kicked out of college for not following the rules. Ultimately Zack throws the rave instead. In the end Zach rave was busted by his teacher Professor Lasky and Dean Susan McMann. Not only did he not face the consequences but his Professor was on his side to get him out of trouble , because he “loved to drive that woman crazy” , said Professor Lasky. This is inaccurate in reality ; because throwing a rave is illegal. Not only could I face jail time but...

...Roman Road to Salvation The ROMANS ROAD....is a pathway you can walk. It is a group of Bible verses from the book of Romans in the New Testament. If you walk down this road you will end up understanding how to be saved. Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." We all have sin in our hearts. We all were born with sin. We were born under the power of sin's control. - Admit that you are a sinner. Romans 6:23a "For the wages of sin is death..." Sin has an ending. It results in death. We all face physical death, which is a result of sin. But a worse death is spiritual death that alienates us from God, and will last for all eternity. The Bible teaches that there is a place called the Lake of Fire where lost people will be in torment forever. It is the place where people who are spiritually dead will remain. - Understand that you deserve death for your sin. Romans 6:23b "...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Salvation is a free gift from God to you! You can't earn this gift, but you must reach out and receive it. - Ask God to forgive you and save you. Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." When Jesus died on the cross He paid sin's penalty. He paid the price for all sin, and when He took all the sins of the world on Himself on the cross, He bought us out of slavery to sin and death! The only condition is that we believe in Him and what He...

...Nathan Gracie Professor. Stobnicke English 103-018 October 3rd, 2014 “Saved By the Bell” Five days a week I am awaken by the buzzing sound of my alarm clock at 7 AM. As I struggle to roll out of bed, I know that I have to because it is a process for me to get ready for class on time. When I build up enough energy to jump out of bed I start my daily routine. Opening up my closet and drawers to find something to wear for class has to be the hardest part of this whole process. As I look through several shirts and jeans I am stuck on deciding what to wear. I don’t know if I should put on a sweater for the cold mornings and warm afternoons or a long sleeve t-shirt. Also I have to decide if the jeans or sweatpants go with the top I have choose to wear. Then I have to decide what sneakers I should wear with the top and bottoms I have picked out after about 10 minutes. Making sure everything is colored coordinated is one of my main concerns about the outfit I pick out in the morning. Then occasionally, when I do not have a haircut I must also look for a baseball cap to match what I have picked out to wear and if I can’t find one I have to choose a new outfit. After I am finally finished finalizing my outfit for the day I grab my towel, soap, toothbrush and toothpaste and head straight towards the shower hoping that the bathroom isn’t occupied. A warm morning shower is always a very important time of the day for me. It wakes me up fully and prepares me to start my day...

...Can Marriage be Saved? By: Frank Furstenberg April 9, 2013 Frank Furstenberg, Zellerback Family Professor of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, wrote an article titled “Can Marriage Be Saved?” This article was first published in Dissent Magazine, in the summer of 2005, appearing on pages 76-80. It seems to me the question to be answered is in the title itself; can marriage be saved? And if so, then how can we as accomplish this goal successfully? This article clearly talks about the institution of marriage as a whole in our society. But, I think Furstenberg would not only want us to think of marriage as a whole part of our society, but also as individuals. I was especially interested in this article when reading about the differences in marriage in relation to time. The comparison between marriage today and marriage in the 1950’s really made me think. Even the fact that there was a divergence in marriage from the 1950’s to the 1960’s shocked me. And then I wondered, “What was so different about marriage in the 50’s?” For one, divorce was frowned upon in society. Couples still acquired divorces; however, the divorce rate was much lower than it is today. I think the reasoning behind this is; during the 60’s and 70’s, women began thinking more about careers and less about marriage and children. They were less concerned with a nuclear family which consists of a two-parent biological family. “Only in the 1950’s – and then only for a very brief time – did it become...

...“Three Estates:” the Truly Saved; the Invisible Saved; the Unsaved Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx L33333333 Liberty University Given the task of placing our modern day, contemporary western society into three distinct groups is a challenge. When I think of the number three, many things come to mine. Being a huge baseball fan I think of one of my all-time favorite players, Dale Murphy. I also remember one of the most popular and well known players as well, Babe Ruth. Turning away from baseball, I begin to look at things that are in groups of three. I begin to picture groups of people and animals such as, the three musketeers, the three stooges, three blind mice, and the always popular three monkeys of; see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil. This lead me to the question of how do I defeat evil? There is so much evil in our world today, it makes me shutter of some of the sights I have laid my eyes on during my life. These thoughts take me directly to the Bible. The Word of God is the single best weapon against evil we can turn to! The most significance of the number three is all knowing, all seeing, and all doing. Yes, I am speaking of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I cannot use these as my three modern estates, for they are in reality, one! This led me to my next question; what do the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit do for us? Answer: they love us, they care for us, they forgive us, and they want us to be part of their...

...Reading; A Blessing Or Curse Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Ahhh, but wait, what if you can’t? Then what? That paperboy trying to sell his papers sure isn’t going to tell you what’s going on because he would be losing a sale. So how are you going to get that juicy bit of news? How are you going to find out what is going on in the world around you? Sure, you can ask a neighbor or somebody else passing by, but that can only get you so far. The written word is here to benefit us all. Things we may not have thought of are out there somewhere written down to be shared with everyone. How could you not want to know what’s out there; what else lies beyond this sad little bubble that may encompass one sad illiterate, uneducated soul. Just the teensy tiny bit of curiosity can help you embark on a never ending wealth of knowledge. Question is, what will you do with this newly acquired knowledge? Will you read up on the atom bomb and find a way to make one and then threaten the world with it? Or maybe you’ll read about the atom bomb and protest its use and other nuclear devices, lobby for all of the world’s nuclear devices be dismantled and deactivated. How will you use this information? Reading can provide so much knowledge. Is there such a thing as too much knowledge? There are bound to be conflicting views on every topic out there. Pro-choice, pro-life, gun control, is the grass really greener on the other side? How do you know which side to choose? You may have had...

Throughout the film Roland demonstrates the simple characteristics of Jesus in contrast to his sister Hilary Faye. During the film Hilary Faye displays her hypocritical behavior towards her faith once her perfect life begins to hit road bumps. Although they are portrayed as completely different characters they both show signs of holiness throughout the film, as if they were meant to be seen as complete opposites despite being brought together through their holy actions in the end.

...How Nationalism Saved Japan Historically, Japan has been known as an isolationistic country. Because of this, Japan developed a culture that was wholly its own. However, as Japan entered the Meiji Restoration, modernization was necessary to develop the country in order to obtain a sustainable future. Japan’s successful integration into the modern world can largely be attributed to their strong sense of nationalism; without this ideal, their progress would have been significantly hindered, if not all together thwarted. Japan was not only willing to accept western ideas, but also to embrace the opportunity for a new beginning. After Japan’s first encounter with Commodore Matthew Perry, in which the technologies and advanced armaments of western...

...World War II: The Change that Saved America There have been wars throughout the history of man. Some of these wars have been over petty arguments, and some wars have been completely justified in their cause. An example of a just war would most recently be World War II. Not only was WWII considered a good war for the majority of Americans, but it was also beneficial to the minorities of America. The two groups that benefited the most were the African-Americans and women. The main benefits of America as a whole were it pulled the country out of the depression, and it united people through sacrifice and cooperative projects. WWII was also a beneficiary war to the African-Americans and women by increasing their participation in the work force, and also helped to increase their wages. WWII was one of the major factors that helped pull America out of the Great Depression. During the years of World War II the wages of workers was at the highest that it had been since the 1920s (Henretta, et. al. 739). Wages had increased by 70% during this time (Lecture, April 11, 2013). Even though these extra wages were mostly gained by workers working overtime in the shipyards and military factories, it was still money that people had not had in twenty years (Henretta, et. al. 739). Because of all of the overtime working in the factories, manufacturing doubled (Lecture, April 11, 2013). A secondary effect of people having more money was that they were willing to spend it on more things...

...Mehtab S. Dhaliwal Georgia M. Roberts B CUSP 117D 03 March 2012 “…I feel like murder but hip-hop you saved me…” (Lupe Fiasco) But what is Hip Hop? No one really has a concrete classification for this term, though many have their own opinions on what the culture of Hip Hop is. Some view the culture of Hip Hop as a door into a different culture, something one has never experienced first hand. While others claim that “…hip hop is primarily responsible for every decline and crisis world-wide except the war in Iraq and global warming…” (Rose) because of the negative influences it has on many people. Numerous parents believe their children shouldn’t be listening to this type of music due to the explicit lyrics. There are countless opinions of what Hip Hop means, but no one really converses about one actual definition. To me, Hip Hop is a way for people to express their opinions and experiences within their music. Hip Hop is distorted throughout history. It originated in the streets of New York City during the late 60’s early 70’s, specifically in the Bronx. Back then it was just a style of poetry, like a type of freestyle that young black men performed. Quickly this style started to become popular and the black youth began “…engaging in verbal duels with contenders like a linguistic match…” (Gates). Due to the geographic location of this formation of Hip Hop, it is considered a “black art form”. Other ethnicities such as the Caribbean and Latin peoples probably had...
