The three countries chosen for this paper are Jordan, Japan, and Germany. These three countries were chosen because they are among the most developed in their own specific regions. Geert Hofstede’s cultural dimensions helped establish a positive framework for cross-cultural communications; in fact, part of his theories are implemented in every major international business course in the world. Hofstede’s model is based on six dimensions: the power-distance index, individualism vs collectivism, the uncertainty avoidance index, masculinity vs femininity, long-term orientation vs short-term orientation, and indulgence vs restraint. Each country and each culture has very different levels of ...

In order to ensure peace and prosperity of a country, most governments have employed the use of stringent rules and regulations to govern people. However, some people stray away from the common perception of government and embrace anarchy. Anarchy is basically opposite of what the government stands for, anarchism is a political ideology (Carter, 1971) that holds the state undesirable and harmful while advocating for stateless institutions. The view of anarchists stray away from the commons masses and more often they tend to go extreme and cause social disturbance and unrest (Gage, 2009)as was the case of the ...

1 Wagner starts his argument with referring to generally acknowledged dislike for Jews, noticed among people worldwide. The author defines it as “a rooted dislike of the Jewish nature” (Wagner 79). At the beginning of the article, the author claims this dislike to be almost completely irrespective of Arts, and Music as the particular art form. Nevertheless, he emphasizes the meaning of Hebrew, which influences Jews’ speech in the most direct way, and its effect in Music. Wagner believes that the ancient language, spoken by the representatives of this ethnicity, is one of the main reasons why Jews are ...

Summary Of Proposed Research

Global drought not only affects the world agriculture and economics, but interactively affects the phenotypic trait of plants across a different diversity gradient. Nevertheless, plants are able to adapt themselves to the drought environment by changing their phenotypic trait. From previous research at Jena Drought Experiment, in Germany, the results show that diversity not only has the capability to increase community’s resistance to drought, but also to increase community’s recovery ability after drought. On the other hand, the results show that the drought environment makes a strong selection on both, the plant phylogeny and functional trait. Yet, ...

Introduction

At present, developing countries rely greatly on foreign aids provided by richer countries. One of such developing countries is China. Due to the dynamics of war and politics in China for the past few decades, particularly during and immediately after the Second World War and the Cold War, it is an interesting subject for understanding the distribution of foreign aid during times of war and peace. After, analyzing the distribution of ...

It is undoubtedly in hearts of many to say that in duration of its history, the world has barely seen an atrocity more disgusting and frightening than fascism. Fascism, as a movement, as an ideology has done so much evil to this world in the relatively recent years that some of those who had to struggle from it are still alive, and can still recollect whatever horrors they have encountered, and these memories can still make one’s hair rise, and one’s breath stop. However, it would be simply unfair to say that fascism is the worst that ...

Data Exercise

Part 1 As the table above shows, the Nominal GDP is always higher than real GDP (Bureau of Economic Analysis, 2016, Table 1.1.5). The difference is attributed to the inflation that is accounted by real GDP. Thus, in other words, real GDP is a nominal GDP adjusted for the inflation. This adjustment is measured by GDP deflator that reflects the price change in the current year comparing to the base or previous year. The percentage change of the nominal GDP in the last quarter analyzed compared to the previous period was 1.2 %, while the percentage change of the nominal ...

Industrialization refers to the sustained structural transformation of a traditional agrarian society to a modern economy driven by high productivity in manufacturing society (Szirmai, Naudé and Alcorta, 2013). Industrialization started in the mid-eighteenth century in Britain and then spread to other European countries and the USA in the nineteenth century.

Gerschenkron (1962) used the term rarly industrializers to refer to countries that were first to industrilze such as Britain. He used the term late industrilizers to refer to countries ...

Introduction

The European Union is the result of the flow of economic integration in the world. It was created in 1958 and became a powerful economic group. Within the framework of the Union, the benefits of mutual trade are established, the general economic policy is carried out, and restrictions on the movement of goods, capital, and labor are constantly removed (Krugman, Obstfeld, and Melitz, 2014). The creation of the EU was due primarily to the fact that in Western Europe after the Second World War, the contradiction between the international character of modern production and the narrow national and state ...

In this paper, we will explore the psychological impacts of two human-made disasters. One that happened during the First World War, and the other one is a recent terrorist attack in Paris, in 2015. The Lusitania Disaster was an attack from the German army to a British ship liner coming from New York to Liverpool, UK. The terrorist attack in Paris however was not a war attack, so people were not expecting anything as such. However, it can be argued that we are on a war today, that begun by several attacks of radical Islamic groups against the West. ...

The primary difference between the speeches President Woodrow Wilson gave before Congress in January 1917 and January 1918 was his tone. Naturally, the tone that a president uses has a deep influence on a broad range of circumstances. While the focus of both speeches was the ongoing conflict in Europe and what the United States could do to help facilitate its resolution; the tone of the 1917 speech was more idealistic, hopeful and indefinite, and the 1918 speech was more practical, pessimistic and direct. In the 1917 speech, Wilson illustrated his hopefulness on the belief that the warring parties ...

Argumentative Essay

Military innovation contributes to the success of states in war. However, it has been shown in the literature that the U.S. and Britain failed to significantly innovate or revolutionize their military in the interwar period. This paper argues that this failure is primarily rooted in two major factors: anti-militarism attitudes, and a military culture that disregards the usefulness of past military experiences to future wars. During the interwar period, few refuted the importance of mechanized, powered means of transportation and tanks. The debate revolved around whether this technology could be integrated into traditional processes or strategies or whether more ...

As it is known from history, the German Empire was among four Central Powers that fought the Entente during World War I. This war eventually led to a revolution in Germany that caused the demolition of the monarchy and installment of a democratic republican regime. The regime change that immediately followed the armistice of 11 November 1918 was in fact the main reason for a dissonance during peace talks. Entente powers, first of all the United Kingdom, desired to weaken Germany — then the most powerful state in continental Europe — permanently, especially in ...

The last year was marked by the unexpected results of referendum held in the UK, where citizens had to decide whether the country should leave or stay in the European Union. Obviously, many experts had been skeptical and the results, with 52 % voted for the exit, were, with no doubt, shocking both for the EU and the entire world. The financial markets reacted immediately: the pound experienced the largest decrease during the entire period of the free-floating and major stock indexes, like FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 also fall considerably (Mackenzie & Platt, 2016 June 25). However, the reasons the ...

The nominal GDP of all the periods is greater than the real GDP that proves the phenomenon of inflation comparing ...

President George H.W. Bush was a conservative in terms of his foreign policy for he firmly believed that it was America’s duty to rid the world of dictators and instill the same kind of democracy that they practice in the United States.

The advancement into globalization raises a controversial discussion about political and economic systems. By its nature, globalization implies setting a singular standard in various aspects of society, like politics, economics, technology, regulations, employment, etc. (Tregakis and Brewster, 2006). While convergence towards a common political and economic system is encouraged by structures such as European Union, which weakens trade barriers, the cultural patterns, the timing of industrialization, the nature of the dominant industries, the density of population or the disparity between rich and poor count as factors of divergence (Ashraf and Galor, 2007). As a result, two most common economic ...

Conscription means compulsory enrolment in the armed forces and has a history of centuries in several parts of the world.

DO YOU SUPPORT OR REFUTE THE ARGUMENT THAT THE PROLONGED AND BLOODY STALEMATE OF WORLD WAR I STEMMED FROM A SLAVISH ADHERENCE TO THE THEORIES PROPOSED BY CLAUSEWITZ? While the theories proposed by Clausewitz remain remarkable, they also caused the prolonged and bloody stalemate of World War 1 from a slavish adherence to them.

World War 1 was characterized by plenty of bloodshed making it correct to say that this was due to the slavish adherence to the proposed theories by Clausewitz.

The theory of Warfare led to World War 1 whereas the theory of Combat steered the War further and prolonged it.

The theory of Warfare brought about a declaration of War between Austria-Hungary and Serbia that was the ...

Volkswagen Ethics

The Automobile industry like many others prides itself in its quality manufacturing processes, adherence to compliance norms, innovation and customer satisfaction. However, over the last few decades the industry is plagued with myriad cases of ethical misdemeanors. Some of the unethical behavior probably arises from pressures of business, profits, shareholder value and competition (Bazerman and Tenbrunsel, 2011). In some cases, leaders turn a blind eye to unethical practices. In one of the older cases from the 1970s, ...

The healthcare system in Australia is termed as one of the most successful in the world when it comes to the delivery of good healthcare. Additionally, the health outcomes, as well as the control of costs by the system, are remarkably effective as stated by Hall (2015).

In the US, no single system of health insurance covers the nation. Health ...

Question 1

Both China and India are on the way to becoming world-renowned economies (Bosworth & Collins 45-66). One of the reasons for the economy growth is that private firms are now allowed to practice in markets in which they were previously barred.

The growth seen in China also results from the good relations between the governments and the private businesses as well as investors. Another reason that the two nations have experienced tremendous economic growth is the fact that they have large markets for their ...

The media, which collectively refer to various forms of mass communication, are considered as a major source of public information. Their primary interests lie on gathering, evaluating, and distributing facts, which are of relevance to human society (Shoemaker & Reese, 1996, 15). There are, however, instances wherein the media is seen as an insinuator of conflict. Such conflict may arise when media and the information they possess has a potential to cause social unrest; scenarios wherein telling the truth will cause more harm than good. An unregulated mass media have two opposing sides; one that is detrimental ...

America and the Great War

Nationalism, imperialism and militarism are considered to be the three major causes to have set the stage for the Great War or the World War I (WWI).

During the course of the nineteenth century nationalism became stronger. During this period basic literacy had increased which contributed to nationalism. Imperialism is the second major cause of the WWI. Imperialism refers to a country expanding its power and influence using military or ...

In this essay I will dwell upon the issue of euthanasia. I will consider different views on this issue and discuss the contradictions that arise in relation to the use of euthanasia in different situations. I believe that passive euthanasia is possible and even desirable to alleviate the suffering of a terminally ill patient, when there is no hope to return the essential functions of his body, provided appropriate control over the lawfulness of the procedure implementation. Euthanasia is a conscious action, resulting in the death of a hopelessly ill and suffering person in a relatively quick and painless ...

YOURSCHOOLHERE C13 Economics Assignment 08 Part 1 Monopolies develop in several ways (Vandewetering, n.d.). There are “natural” monopolies that emerge from the scales of some businesses. Electric generation utilities, for example, require multi-million dollar investments in the plant and more millions to build the distribution infrastructure. At these levels of entry costs, virtually no competition can develop. Some monopolies develop around ownership of a scarce resource. The DeBeers company, for example, controls a large percentage of the world’s supply of diamonds. The third form of monopoly is the result of government action. For example, patent and copyright protection ...
