Therefore it doesn't matter what nationality we are from, adapting in new culture is very challenging for any foreigners. Especially compared to other immigrant groups, Arab have had a more though time in adapting to the American way of life because American and Arabs culture is almost different every facet of life. Based on the readings (New Direction) and my experience Dr. Kershavars should cover Arab attitudes about non verbal behavior, learning concept of time and relationship. Understanding non verbal behavior is one of the attribute to adapting new culture. In my experience, I noticed that it has always been different depending on people's culture background. For example, "Middle Eastern get much of their information through their sense of smells and touch," (page#22, New Direction) it considers kind of weird in American culture. Also Arabs do a lot of eye contact and smiling on the other hand, in some Asian countries that means disrespectful.

...The Effects of the Reform and Opening-up Policy in China Chenqian Yu(Nina) IE204 Academic Writing III Eassy 2 03/10 The Effects of the Reform and Opening-up Policy in China China has gone through a rapid economic growth over the past three decades since the previous premier Deng Xiaoping who was a pioneer of “Socialism with Chinese characteristics” decided to reform and open to the outside world in around 1980. This is the turning-point of China’s economy and also the symbol of China entering a new era. Before this policy came out, China was a poor and backward self-sufficiency country like an isolated island in the world. The 30 years’ reform and opening-up has shifted China to an open market for the world and raised people’s living standards; meanwhile, it also caused the imbalances in China’s economy. One of the effects of this policy is that it transformed China from a self-contained economy into an open-market economy. Nowadays, the economic activities which take place in China are much more than before, so more and more multinational enterprises are coming to China, such as Adidas, Coca Cola, and Starbucks. In the meantime, according to Charles(2014), Chinese domestic companies increasingly began to invest across national borders and privatization has been more wide-spread. Before the policy was put forward, China is an autarkic country where people were not able to have multiple choices on products in the market. However, now international...

...controlled by the entity as result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity’. There are two main sorts of assets which are tangible and intangible assets. Tangible assets have physical presence and have monetary value, it can be found as fixed or current asset in the balance sheet. Whereas, intangible assets are the ones that have non-monetary value and have no physical presence. Businesses create intangible assets by their hard effort over time and less often it appears in the balance sheet. Examples of assets that are not included in the balance sheet may include loyal and creative work force, expertise of management team, loyal customers, brand image, human capital, and tax return. In this eassy I will particularly focus on loyal and creative workforce which is an asset that is not included in the balance sheet. Balance sheet consist of assets (fixed and current), liabilities (short and long term) and owners equity. According to money measurement convention financial statement are prepared by ‘measuring items in monetary value’. Businesses consider loyal and creative employee as an asset because it meet all the criteria to be an assets e.g. providing future economic benefit, can be controlled. A loyal and creative workforce eventually enables business to earn extra revenue and make it easier to have loyal customers as they might be satisfied with the service given. The reason why this asset is not included in the balance sheet...

There are many factors that we as consumers must take in to consideration.

Evidently, it’s up to consumer to make a decision on what they eat, nevertheless if we’re frequently exposed to food advertisements every time we read a glossy magazine or watch TV then we may be influenced in what we choose, especially when the advertisement is directed toward children .

Anamul Haque 2009-2-10-108 Md.Mehedi Hasan 2009-1-10-073 Organizational behavior Course Code: MGT251 Section: 3 East West University 1. Do you believe that whistle-blowing is good for organizations and its members, or is it, as David Stetler believes, often a means to extort financial gains from companies? Whistle blowing means calling attention to wrongdoing that is occurring within an organization. The fact whistle blowers are good/bad for an organization depends on different situations whether a whistle-blowing will have a positive or negative result over the organization. That is it depends on what they're whistling about. If it has intention to get someone trouble then we have to think about the undesirable consequences it might happen for whistle blowing. On the other sense, if it is someone who is angry with the organization for other reasons and blows the whistle solely to cause harm or embarrassment to the company, then they're just a jerk. On the other hand, of it is related to protest against unethical deeds then it is ok. If whistle blowing is a means toward a positive end, then in the long run, we might want to consider it good for the organization as a whole, but not so for some of those within the organization who refuse to adhere to ethical behavior. However, I tend to believe that most whistle blowers are simply...
