Yin and Yang are the basic principle and concept for both Chinese philosophy and culture that is traced back to the third century BCE. According to the principle, all the things that exist and surround us are inseparable and contradicting. Examples of this are female-male, old-young, darkness-light. These opposing aspects attract each other and, as it is illustrated by the well-known symbol of Yin-Yang principle, each of opposites has a part of the other in its core.

According to the principle, Yin stands for:

Feminine Black Dark North Cold Providing spirit for all things and so forth On the contrary, in terms of Chinese philosophy Yin ...

Literature Review

The necessity to approach marketing as an integrated part of management and not as a separate function has been acknowledged decades ago, when Peter Drucker illustrated that marketing tells businesses how to adjust on meeting changing consumer needs and creating a clientele (Webster, 2009). Consumer needs are ever – changing, as Drucker observed, and ...

The lines that I have chosen to analyze are as follows:

1. Taken from chapter four on positioning, Sun Tzu said, “You do not create the openings or opportunities that you need to advance because the environment is too large and complex to control. Instead, you must learn how to recognize opportunities created by the changes in the environment (“Chapters on Expansion,” www.scienceofstrategy.org).” Here, Sun Tzu acknowledges that nature’s method, organization, and coordination of events or opportunities is beyond man’s comprehension. To seize opportunity, an individual must train him or herself to flow and align with nature instead of trying to conquer it. 2. Taken from chapter 6 ...

Vid30 complex participation in the degradation of CDC25 in yeast and their role in Ras/ cAMP/ PKA pathway

Background: Unicellular organisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae in its total life cycle is exposed to diverse and changing nutrient conditions. Thus, in order to survive and achieve a competitive advantage, it has adapted itself such that it not only uses the wide range of available nutrient sources but also the sources that are nutrient rich. It mainly uses fructose and glucose by rapidly fermenting to alcohol. In response to these nutrient conditions, the intracellular trafficking transcription and turnover of protein from nutrient transporters (e.g. Hxts) get regulated. Therefore, when the availability of the glucose increases, the expression of low- ...

Abstract

Jade has been an important part of Chinese culture since Ancient times, when it was used to make various weapons and tools. The reason for this is because it is believed to have positive powers.

This is why jade was used in burial rituals, sacrifices and other religious ceremonies.

Deciding Which Market to Enter

A case study of Taco Bells Introduction A company with objectives of entering into new markets must implement strategic decisions on the type of market and the entry mode. Typically, global business enterprises enter new markets through exportation, obtaining market licenses, the formation of joint ventures, or sole venture entry (Keegan, 1989). Any of these entry modes require a firm to commit some resources to succeed in the market entry. Thus, initial strategic decisions as to the category of the market and appropriate entry mode are essential.

China has a great history of using unique traditional medication means such as Tai Chi, herbs, and many others. Of late, the medications have shifted from traditional means and narrowed to science.

Issues in Law, Ethics and Corporate Governance: A Case Study of PharmaCARE’s Activities in Colberia

Issues in Law, Ethics and Corporate Governance: A Case Study of PharmaCARE’s Activities in Colberia As the PharmaCARE case scenario reveals, a number of multinational companies have more often than not found themselves being heavily vilified globally for their failure in social responsibilities, corporate governance and ethics. This has particularly been the case with mining companies in oil and other mineral rich countries in Africa whereby these companies have exploited the vulnerability of the local populations to their business advantage. Their business activities have led to serious environmental destruction and pollution, raising major concerns about the health and ...

Using Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Creation of Naturing Life

Nature life is a beauty perfect in the eyes of people. In fact, Coco Chanel quoted the words, “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous” (Armour 1). The pursuit of beauty is a topic always applicable to life among women, even to those who lived thousands of years ago. Thus, there is always the question on how women of long ago maintain their beautiful appearance, as reflected in the Chinese customs, which is apparently very different from the ways of the modern times that uses science and technology. Women of the olden times did not have access ...

Tai Chi is considered as a type of martial arts which is renowned for its effectiveness in its techniques of defense as well as its health benefits.

Three methods exist for measuring national income – the output, income, and expenditure approaches. The output approach measures the value added or intermediate output at the industry level in a year (Yin). Nations estimate the gross output in various sectors, the intermediate output, and the decrease in the value of assets from depreciation. The GDP then results from either adding up all the different components of intermediate output or subtracting the value of depreciation from the gross output or the intermediate output. For instance, if the cost of pig iron, rubber, steel, and other components used in making a car ...

Chinese medicine and Chinese philosophy act as a whole. And the name of this whole - Taoism, the way of the Tao. What I admire in the Taoists to the core of my soul, is the fact that they can find simple and affordable solutions for everyday problems, without losing sight of the whole complexity of life. Next wonderful parable illustrates this approach.

Food is a fundamental necessity of life and therefore becomes a rich conveyor of cultural traditions and norms and attracts patterns of symbolic significance much like a magnet, for example, who is entitled to eat with whom, and when, and how food is to be shared.

Indeed, it can be said that a culture is encoded in the expectations of behavior associated with the communal act of dining. The purpose of this paper is to examine the historical continuity of ...

Introduction

Perinatal depression is increasingly becoming a worldwide mental illness that affects expectant mothers. Although depression has always been categorized by world Health Organization (WHO) as a silent killer disease, perinatal depression continue to attract more attention due to its adverse effect on an entire family support system.

This study explores the ethical concerns with regard to four different proposals that seek to use human beings for experiments. The proposals include group membership, tearoom trade, esteem and out-group perceptions, social identity conflict and the dynamics of self-help groups. They are identified as proposal ...

Validity of a Qualitative Strategy

Introduction The essential idea of a qualitative research is the credibility of all the data gathered presented in a narrative or explanatory way for the readers to comprehend or interpret the text and its meaning. The essential idea to understand is the entire concept of a qualitative research or approach. According to Yin (2015) qualitative research is “doing original research and pursuing three important objectives: transparency, methodicness, and adherence to evidence” (p. 3). Koch Rumrill (2014) had the same perspective towards qualitative as the type of study approach tackles different phenomena. Qualitative research depends on the credibility of the ...

During the interview, my father, a 52-year old Chinese who was born and brought up in Mainland China, provided insight into the practices, attitude, and beliefs of the traditional Chinese people about health. He explained that though we do not practice out traditional culture strictly currently, most people still observe various aspects of the culture. The fundamental belief of the Chinese people about health is that health is mainly determined by the balance between the body, mind, and spirit. This concept is expressed as yin and yang in Chinese. The balance can be hot and cold, or internal and ...

Qualitative research methods such as case studies, comparative and historical approaches have gained popularity and relevance as research methods within the field of social research such as international relations.

Further, the capability of some of these research methodologies, such as case studies, to provide researchers with the ability or possibility of developing theories, evaluating programs and developing appropriate interventions has ...

Section 1: Foundation of the Study

The majority of business information is stored electronically, creating the need for a system of securing this information. As the systems providing computer and internet security becomes more and more complex, security is increasingly compromised. Interlopers and hackers continue to create new and more creative means of gaining entry to information stored on networks, and users are facing an increased number of security attacks. Surprisingly, despite the variety and amount of security risks, security tools designed to counter these are slow to develop appear for business consumption (Garcia-Teodoro et al, 2009).

Initially rejected as of little relevance to companies' operations and strategy, information systems have shown more enhancements as to necessitate adoption. Therefore, management information systems have been widely adopted in many industries, most notably supply chain, environment stewardship ...

In the beginning of the semester, I wrote on the Discussion Board that even though I am from Asia and people may think that I am familiar with religions of Asia, I did not have much understanding of various religious faiths in Asia. Because I have never believed or practiced any religion in my whole life, I did not have much interest about religions of Asia or elsewhere.

However, since I first saw the video about the Ramayana, I started to gain some interest in religion. I thought that religion might be amiable and interesting given that some ...
