...It’s that time of the year again. I don’t want to end up as the center piece of someone’s Thanksgiving dinner table. I have a plan of where I will hide this Thanksgiving season. If I, the turkey, get caught, I will be slaughtered in a heartbeat. To solve that problem, I will have to disguise myself. First, I will go to New York City. It is pretty crowded there, so I don’t think I’ll be spotted. That also means that there are a lot of turkey-hungry people. I will disguise myself as a news reporter. I’ll get my turkey friend to hold the camera and I will have a microphone. Next, I will go to Mexico. I will get my talented makeup artist to make me a mask. I will then go to a Mexican restaurant. I’ll have my own mariachi band playing songs with me. I’ll have my best sombrero and a guitar in my hand. My final stop will be Honolulu, Hawaii. To get there, I will dress up as a business man and ride in 1st class on the airplane. I will have cool shades and a suit and tie. When I arrive in Honolulu, I will go into a public restroom and change into my hula girl outfit. I will go around with a grass skirt, lei, and a wig on. My plan for this Thanksgiving will hopefully work. I think I won’t get caught. Looking ahead, I need to make plans for Christmas. I am nervous that my real identity will be discovered, but I have confidence in myself. In my great turkey escape, I will go to New York City, Mexico, and...

...NARCOTRAFICO ! La Real academia Española define el Narcotráfico como el comercio de drogas tóxicas en grandes cantidades. A pesar de que según esta definición el comercio de drogas tóxicas, tanto legal como ilegal, debe ser considerado narcotráfico, es común creer que el termino narcotráfico se refiere única y exclusivamente a actividades ilícitas. ! La causa principal del narcotráfico debe ser, claro, el hecho de que exista un mercado que debe ser llenado, el de las drogas, ahora cuando un individuo produce y/o distribuye dichas drogas, llena este mercado y se convierte así en un narcotraficante. La noción de que el narcotráfico se refiere únicamente a ilícitos, es probablemente causa de que aquellas drogas que son comerciadas por un narcotraficante son prohibidas en la mayoría de naciones modernas, haciendo que este individuo se convierta en un criminal y el termino narcotráfico en designio de una actividad ilegal. ! En un comienzo se pensaría que las únicas consecuencias reales del narcotráfico serian el daño a la salud de aquel que consuma drogas y el enriquecimiento de aquel que las comercie, así como la generación de empleo para muchos que servirían como vendedores, sin embargo, el hecho de que se prohiban este tipo de drogas (y por tanto de que el narcotráfico se vuelva ilegal) crea problemas judiciales entre las autoridades y quienes, ignorando la ley, continúan comerciando drogas; estos últimos a su vez, en un intento por evitar ser castigados por la justicia,...

...Kentucky Fried Chicken Strategic Plan-Part One Jeanette Cortez, Autumn Crowther, James Hopper Fernando Manaloto, Joe Newkirk, and Rita Salem International Strategic Planning and Implementation STR/GM 581 March 31, 2011 Dr. Tim Becker, MBA Introduction Kentucky Fried Chicken has been established as a franchise in Latin America and the focus of this plan will be the El Salvador franchise. The strategic management process is vital and a well laid out plan is necessary. Consequently, by evaluating the background of KFC, the outcome should lead to a clear mission and vision statement outlining the purpose and goals of the company. Also, the mission and vision will keep all shareholders informed of the objectives that should be met by KFC. “Defining the company mission is one of the most often slighted tasks in strategic management” (Pearce II & Robinson Jr., 2009, p. 42). A mission lays out the organization’s goals and basically specifies the purpose of the organization. Decisions and strategies can be established after environmental scanning is done along with a Situational Analysis (SWOT). The strategic process also involves frequently assessing the industry structure and choosing strategic plan options that help expand global operations. The two chosen strategic options that will be discussed will be product differentiation and cost leadership. This plan should give clarity on how the options and recommendations fit with both the competitive situation...

...unfairly treated and even discriminated by the Spaniards. Filipino women were abused by the Spanish friars and other Spaniards. Others were judged without even having due process and even tortured to death for crimes they did not even commit, such that of the child in the film, who was Crispin in Rizal’s novel. Although the Spanish government conducts a court hearing to those who were accused of a crime (only in some cases), they only give Spanish lawyers to defend those accused and even manipulated the law in favor of themselves, leaving the Filipinos with no other choice but to accept and suffer from the crimes that they didn’t even committed. These events were shown and expressed by Rizal in his two novels entitled Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, which the Filipinos have read in spite of the banning of these said books to be read by the public. In spite of many hindrances in the publication of these books, it was stillprinted to make the Filipinos aware of what was really happening. Rizal almost put these books into fire because of his financial incapability due to the economic problem in Calamba, when the friars increased the tax that they’ve been collecting from the Calamba people which the people didn’t agreed to pay, thus they was forced by the friars to leave from their houses and kicking them out of the lands that they used to plant their crops with. Rizal’s purpose in writing these books was to show his fellow Filipinos of what was really happening in the country...

...The Fall of the Mayan Empire Naomi M. Cranfield Prof. Hunsucker Hum 111 February 2, 2013 The Maya civilization was several independent city states which shared a cultural heritage of language, customs, dress, artistic style and material culture. They were located in the Central American continent, to include parts of Belize, Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. It was an area of approximately 150,000 square miles. Some of the better known city states were Tikal, Calakmul, Caracol and Dos Pilas. There were several strong kings at those locations, but none of them ever truly conquered the others. The city states traded with one another, and they also warred with one another from time to time. The population has been estimated to have been millions. In the 1600s, the Spanish reported that there were approximately 600,000 people living in the Yucatan peninsula alone. Each of the larger cities probably had populations in excess of 100,000. That doesn't count the rural sectors that supported the larger cities. But what happened to such a large culture that they seemed to have disappeared in such a short span of time? There have been so many concepts as to why the Maya civilization fell, but one of the more interesting and in my opinion more plausible beliefs has to do with a severe change in climate. ("The rise and," 2004) “Tom Sever, NASA's only archeologist, has been using satellites to examine the Mayan ruins. Combining those data with conventional down-in-the-dirt...

...8 años en el mercado desde hace 8 años 1998 via trading CEMEX started operations 12 years ago in El Salvador market via trading (importing cement from Mexico) from its plant in Merida, Yucatan. The El Salvador market was a potential market with only one competitor, Cementos del Salvador, which eventually was acquired by Holcim ( Second world largest cement producer). This market was worth annually 100 million dollars and only one company was supplying cement in this country. During these first years, CEMEX provided cement from Mexico by sea and train maintaining its presence in the market which represented about 6% of market. Holcim keeps the leadership with 90% of the market. In the beginning CEMEX started operations building 3 warehouses and administrative offices managed by Mexican employees having the additional responsibility of implementing the CEMEX Way. In this time CEMEX sold directly to the end customers without using dealers. This business structure made company costs higher than its competitor. By the year 2000 it analyzed the option to find dealers responsible of distributing its cement using their warehouses. CEMEX infrastructure was sold to a selected dealer (CME). At the same time given some imposed taxes to cement imports, CEMEX changed it shipment from Mexico to Nicaragua.CME started selling cement under this model unsuccessfully for the 3 following years. This was caused mainly the quality of cement produced in Nicaragua which did not fill...

...Disadvantages of International Trade : The Global market has made it easy to buy and sell international goods. While this has benefits, it also presents a problem. Such trade can cause countries to be prosperous for a short time, but leads to economic exploitation, loss of cultural identity, and even physical harm. Support of Non-Democratic Systems Great hardship can be caused when people make poor decisions about land use or surplus production for export and do not take the general population’s welfare into consideration. For example: Landowners in Nicaragua and El Salvador want farmers to grow coffee beans because it is a very profitable cash crop, however, the farmers would like to use the land to grow more food for their families. The farmer’s wishes are ignored because they do not actually own the land. Cultural Identity Issues Culture is a major export in the world. It displays and promotes values and lifestyles worldwide. The "culture consumer" in other countries is sometimes overwhelmed by American ideas. Products also carry cultural ideas and messages. There are values of the culture the make the product. For example: Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Nike, and Microsoft all sell products that symbolize American values and symbolize and reflect American corporate culture. Social Welfare Issues: Maintaining safety standards, minimum wages, worker’s compensation and Health benefits are all social welfare issues that cost business money. If a running...

...immigrants from El Salvador that were deported from the United States. [1] To be clear, the program isn’t incidentally helping deportees—it is directly intended to assist them. The program, which is administered by the non-profit Instituto Salvadorno Del Migrante (INSMI – translated to Institute of Salvadorian Migrants) and funded through a $50,000 grant from the taxpayer-backed Inter-American Foundation, “will further develop a network of returned migrants, including deportees, facilitate reintegration into their communities and support their enterprises by offering financial education, technical advice and assistance with business plans.” [2] So, if you break the rules and get deported, we’ll help you start a business back in your home country. How absurd. It seems that the justification for this program is that returning deportees often have trouble getting business loans. INSAMI director Cesar Rios was quoted saying, “[t]he mistaken reasoning of bankers is that if they lend a deportee [$]10,000, tomorrow morning he’ll be in New York because he’ll use the money to pay for a new trip.” [3] Mistaken reasoning? With a cost of $4,000 to $10,000 per person to hire a smuggler to get someone into the U.S. illegally (as part of a $6.6 billion industry) Salvadorian banks may have a reasonable fear that their money will not actually go into a business. [4] This fear is particularly valid considering the individuals in question have already demonstrably left El Salvador seeking...

...Abby Salinas Professor Ruiz LAST 1020 18 February 2016 Fools Without Borders: A Conversation in Transnational Identity Politics Sin Nombre confronts its viewers with more than the harsh realities of crime and violence in Latin America. Cary Fukunaga intertwines the lives of Sayra – a young Honduran immigrant looking to reach the United States – and Willy – a Mexican gangster whose cognitive understanding of community has shattered and turned into his worst nightmare. The result is a potent exposition of the effects of globalization on transnational interactions, community identity, and urban space. Paired with Zilberg’s ethnographic study of Maras and Marreros across borders, Sin Nombre suggests that forced trans-nationality and the associated evolution of multifaceted identity politics are propelling modern society away from an identification of individuals based on nationality (where they live) and instead by Benedict Anderson’s concept of imagined communities (who and what they live with). The characters presented in both the movie and Zilberg’s study represent threats to their respective social orders and are therefore confronted with a forced separation from their communities and homes. Willy (the gangster in Sin Nombre) threatened the hierarchical structure of the Mara Salvatrucha (MS) by killing his superior. His options were to attempt exile or to accept death. Weasel (a subject in Zilberg’s study), proved to hold a disregard for American laws by ending up in...
