...Inside the classroom we can listen, read, write and talk about different countries, their culture and their laws by using our imagination. Here our imagination only sets the limit. But the tour that our law department is organising with the help of DAAD will offer us to see the outer world with our open eyes. This type of tour will provide me an opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge about Germany. This will offer me an opportunity to go beyond the class room to experience new culture. This will be a very short spanned tour, different from ordinary study tours, different because within 14 days not only we will be given lectures but will also have the time to tour Germany and time to explore its culture. During this time we will be given lectures on various topics like constitutional law, legislation, international law, European Union law, world trade law and investment law. Topics like trade law and investment law are very much related to our ongoing LLM programme; we will not only have a deeper look over these subjects but will also be able to gain a foreign perspective over these subjects directly. Subjects like constitutional law and legislation will help me in my future if I ever go to politics and will also help me as a lawyer. There are bundle of benefits attached with this type of study tour. The very first benefit that will accrue from this tour is learning. As the very famous quote goes, “there is no education quite like the lessons of travel.” It is an effective way...

...looked too late for me to recover academic ability and to apply to universities. My parents disappointed me and my teacher already gave up the idea of my going on the universities. How to overcome? – Best friend and learn maturity I strongly believe that one great person can change others through my experience. Thanks to a good friend, I could overcome adolescent wandering. I gladly recall his help even now, after 16 years from that time. His name is Hong who is an orphan with poverty. But he always got high rank among DFLHS students, highly intelligent students. Actually, I had no interest in him, and went as far as to ignore him. At that time, I didn’t like people who did their own best. I could not understand why he was able to be bright and to keep mental pace. In my opinion, as an orphan and as a poor level people, he should be depressed. One day, he suggested me to go the rehabilitation facility together for school mandatory voluntary service. I did not want to go with him because most of students who went to school mandatory voluntary service joined to the fire office or county office. Since those are the place requested expert skill, students had nothing to do actual performance. Therefore, most students went there and just filled their requested time. Performing at the rehabilitation facility was required actual hard physical activities. However, I could not refuse to go there together for any reason that I can’t explain even now. At first, it was really...

...criticised by other scholars, while McSweeney is one of the scholars who have been critising the cultural dimensions on people from different nations. This essay will firstly summarise the ideas and arguments of both of McSweeney and Hofstede in order to develop the understanding about the reasons why they are conflicting with each other on the cultural dimension theories. Following the summary of the two scholars ideas and argument, this essay will discuss the agreement and disagreement of both scholars. Reflection on this course on national culture will be specified as well in order to show whether my personal understanding about culture has been changed or improved. Summary of the ideas and argument of both McSweeney and Hofstede * McSweeney’s argument McSweeney expresses his doubts about Hoftstede’s model of national cultural differences and their consequences. The criticism that McSweeney has on the theory of Hoftstede’s cultural dimensions based on the description of national cultural differences in the Culture’s Consequences published in 1980 (McSweeney, 2002). First of all, the methodology applied in the research of Hoftstede’s model is critised by McSweeney. McSweeney points out that IBM in 66 countries extracted the primary data that Hoftstede uses from a pre-existing bank of employee attitude survey, which was undertaken, between 1967 and 1973. It is understandable that even though some of the questions developed in the survey are pertinent to the purpose...

...Should "South Korea" be allowed to develop a NUCLEAR weapon? YES Self protection is no crime. They should be able to protect themselves from threatening North Korea. All countries should have the right to possess some nuclear weapons for their own safety, as long as they agree to a treaty. It would not be possible to get rid of all nuclear weapons in the world, and they should not be controlled by only like 8 countries. Moreover South Korea is very vulnerable to North Korea, since this country's leader seems determined to have nuclear capabilities. South Korea having nuclear weapons might deter (prevent) North Korea somewhat if they were considering using nuclear force against another country. I think, for their own protection, the South Korean military could possess short range nuclear weapons to help neutralize or equalize things with the North Korean regime. Why not Russia, USA, and China allowed South Korea to develop their own nuclear weapon? Considering that they have their own? AGAINST If we talk about Russia and China the first reason is North Korea is against South Korea and as we know that Russia and China support North Korea so it can’t be denied that the enemy of my friend is also my enemy. The Second reason is that a country that owns nuclear weapons is feared and respected in the international circuit. That’s why they don’t let another country possess its own nukes. If we talk about USA, it’s obvious that USA supports South Korea by providing with US army...

...two years ago, English is a big obstacle for me in communication. I have had many difficult times speaking and understanding English when talking to others. Writing an essay was almost impossible for me to think of. Realizing how difficult it was to experience these linguistic difficulties, I then decided to go back to school to improve my English skills. Therefore, English became especially essential for me to succeed in my educational goals. I was determined to earn an Associate’s degree then transfer to a university for a Bachelor’s degree. I started going to ESL classes and studied English very hard to make progress in my speaking, reading and writing skills. After spending one year in ESL classes, I qualified for English 43. I learned lots of grammar and how to write paragraphs efficiently during these classes. I noticed that writing an essay was more challenging when I got into English 49. However, since then I’ve learned how to write a five-paragraph argumentative essay which was one of my weaknesses in academic writings. I have made a lot of progress in writing skills since I started studying English 49. I now think that I’m ready to go on to English 101 due to the fact that I have learned useful strategies to follow a writing process and develop coherent paragraphs effectively. A writing process is the most important step that I learned in this class. First of all, before writing a complete essay, I need to come up with the pre-writing which consists of free writing...

...Environment Lecturer: Tabian Ambang Why International Businesses are expanding their operations into less-developed countries? Today, the world is becoming smaller and smaller and it is more now like a one community. The force behind how the world is going today is because of technology and globalization. Rapid changes in technology have caused communication to be faster through internet, email and telecommunications. Through technology, faster means of transportation has also been developed. Globalization on the other hand is breaking cultural, political, social and country boundaries which presents opportunities for international businesses to go global, thus weaving national economies together (McFarlin &Sweeney, 2003). To continue, this essay is going to outline some factors on why international businesses are moving into and establishing and carrying out their business operations in less- developed countries. The reasons or factors given in this essay are from my own view, but I am supporting them with case studies and some other reasons from different authors. For a start, I believe that the reason why international businesses expand to other parts of the world outside of their domestic environment, especially to less developed countries is because of two things. It is the pull and push factors that causes them to move and expand to other countries. By push factors, I mean that there may be some reasons an organization is forced out of its their domestic environment...

...The film, Life and Debt by Stephanie Black shows how Jamaicans struggle economically and racially through their daily lives due to the International Monetary Fund. The purpose of the IMF is to assist the developing countries, as well as securing financial stability; however that only destroyed the economy of Jamaica and its agriculture as well. Some of the themes that are portrayed in this film are the effects of tourism and international involvement/globalization has on the natives. Life in debt really opened my eyes regarding tourism. It did a perfect job demonstrating the separation of how the outsiders view Jamaica, as to how it actually is and the serious problems the natives face. By displaying these two distinctive points of...
