Report: China – Communist or Capitalist?

Introduction
Many observers ask whether China’s burgeoning growth and prosperity in recent times demonstrates the success of a communist regime, or is it instead the result of China adopting capitalist principles as its privatized and competitive businesses flood the West with manufactured goods? If the latter is the case, can China still be considered as a truly Communist state, or is it becoming a Capitalist nation ruled by a Communist government?

On the other hand there are some people who are outraged and would tell you that the riches needed to be divided equally between each man, woman and child; only then would it be true that American democracy is ...

Assignment culture 3

The philosophies of Dr. Hofstede's dimensions are distance versus power, collectivism versus individualism, avoiding uncertainty, femininity versus masculinity and short term orientation versus long-term orientation (Sergiu, 2011). Over the years after he came up with these dimensions, there has been a variety of arguments. Some scholars are for, and some are against; to understand the basis of these arguments, it is first imperative to understand Hofstede's approach to cross culture application (Zaiț, 2002).

Its effect was omnipresent with great impacts ...
