Next is peer pressure, which influences a person to watch anime, when your group is expose to anime it will surely influence you. Last is boredom buster. As an expert say, "Boredom is not the lack of sensory stimulation: It is just a lack of imagination or creative thinking, so students tend to watch anime more often and surf the internet to read online manga.” Discussion I.

...are happy. These are happy, Jesus notes, because they will inherit the earth, they will be shown mercy, they will see God, and they will be called sons of God. What Jesus means by being happy, however, is not simply being jovial or mirthful, as when one is having fun. True happiness is deeper, carrying the thought of contentment, a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment in life. So those who are truly happy, Jesus shows, are people who recognize their spiritual need, are saddened by their sinful condition, and come to know and serve God. Then, even if they are hated or persecuted for doing God’s will, they are happy because they know they are pleasing God and will receive his reward of everlasting life. However, many of Jesus’ listeners, just like some people today, believe that being prosperous and enjoying pleasures is what makes a person happy. Jesus knows otherwise. Drawing a contrast that must surprise many of his listeners, he says: “Woe to you rich persons, because you are having your...

...Just War theory is a doctrine, also referred to as a tradition, of military ethics studied by theologians, ethicists, policy makers and military leaders. The purpose of the doctrine is to ensure war is morally justifiable through a series of criteria, all of which must be met for a war to be considered just. The criteria are split into two groups: ‘the right to go to war’ and ‘right conduct in war’ . The first concerns the morality of going to war and the second with moral conduct within war. Recently there have been calls for the inclusion of a third category of just war theory - jus post bellum - dealing with the morality of post-war settlement and reconstruction. Just War theory postulates that war, while very terrible, is not always the worst option. There may be responsibilities so important, atrocities which can be prevented or outcomes so undesirable they justify war. Origins The Indian epic, the Mahabharata, offers one of the first written discussions of a 'just war'. In it, one of five ruling brothers asks if the suffering caused by war can ever be justified, and then a long discussion ensues between the siblings, establishing criteria like proportionality, just means, just cause, and fair treatment of captives and the wounded. The war in Mahabharata is preceded by context that develops the "just cause" for the war including last minute efforts to reconcile differences to avoid war. At the beginning of the war, there is the discussion of "just conduct" appropriate...

...Abstract Just in Time (JIT) inventory management has its benefits and setbacks which leads to the question on its eligibility to be adopted in organizations. It has some of the benefits of being cost effective and ensuring quality production. However, it faces unpredictability in the supply chain and meeting demand, both setbacks realized in adopting it. The magnitude of the benefits and setbacks can vary depending on the industry. The current study provides details on the advantages and disadvantages of employing the policy in the manufacturing industry with implementation examples specific to the car manufacturing industry. With the policy being pioneered by Toyota, and later used by Ford, the evidence that the two organizations have benefited substantially from the policy are obvious. They have had increased profits, customer satisfaction and the quality of their products. All while reducing costs associated with the storage of excess inventories, defective production, and waste. Strategies maximizing the use of a just in time policy and avoiding some of the disadvantages will also be discussed. Just in Time Just in time production first surfaced just after World War II in Japan’s Toyota Company. Modeled after Henry Ford’s continuous flow manufacturing, it focused on eliminating waste in the postwar Japanese market (Rona, 2013). Today just in time still emphasizes the reduction of waste, but also production and resource efficiency. These efficiencies are gained through...

...The Second World War can be considered a just war using the criteria set forth in the “Just War Theory.” The war was properly declared by an act of Congress after an attack by the Empire of Japan on December 7, 1941. The US Constitution gives Congress the responsibility to declare war in Article 1, section 8. Because of the act of aggression by Japan and the proper declaration of war by Congress, World War II meets elements 1 and 2 of the Just War Theory. World War II also had the right intentions. Both Japan and Germany were sweeping through the Pacific and Europe repressing the people they had defeated. Both Axis powers were brutalizing, and in the case of Germany exterminating, certain groups of people. The United States had attempted to stay out of the European conflict, leaving it to regional powers such as Great Britain. Peace did not seem to have a chance because of the ambitions of the Japanese and German powers. As a result, war was the final option left to the Americans. The United States had a reasonable chance for success because they had not yet been involved in the fighting. They were also the industrial and manufacturing base for the British and Soviets; providing them with arms and material to fight the Germans. The United States was also not going to fight alone. They were joining with the Allied powers that had already been fighting for a few years. The Bible tells us “Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you...

...Definition of Just-in-time It is a method of planning and controls an operation that aims to meet demand directly with perfect quality and no waste. Just in time also known as a systems approach that is used to develop and operate a manufacturing system in which it will organizes the production process so that parts are available only when they are needed it. This system is used as a method for optimizing processes that involves continual reduction of waste and reducing non value added costs and long run costs such as reworking defective products, product inspections and quality control which are some example of non-value-added costs. The Just-in-time used to be the management philosophy of continuous & forced problem solving and it is categorized as a pull system in term of production & purchasing where the system will control the materials whereby to use signals to the supplier or provider that there a more material is needed. This process occur by which the downstream work centers will request delivery from upstream work centers and these will be known as lean production. By implementing the Just-in-time in their production, it will act to attack all the wastage in the production process in terms of product that has not added any value to the product by the perspective of their customer. The system also will expose all the problems and bottlenecks that have cause by variability towards the product. It is also used to achieve the streamlined production by reducing...

...In the novel of “Just Mercy” by Bryan Stevenson, the audience is drawn in to experience and relate to multiple themes and tones set by the author. As to being asked to relate to either justice, mercy, or prejudice to anyone of the characters, Bryan the author himself displayed prejudice as the first theme to the audience which is why I will relate that same theme for my response. First and foremost, it is important to understand that the actions of prejudice taken against Bryan are what created the man who eventually wrote the novel we all read this summer. In the novel, Bryan speaks of an incident which occurred earlier in his life where innocently sitting in his car while being entertained by the song playing, police officers address him...

THE IMPACT OF INTERNATIONAL ASSIGNMENTS ON EXPATRIATE FAMILIES by Yvonne McNulty Lisa MacDougall looked at her desk calendar and realized it was the first year anniversary of her employment at John Campbell College. ‘How ironic’, she thought, ‘that I might resign today, exactly one year after I started here’. As her colleagues dropped by her office throughout the morning to discuss a new research project that she was leading, Lisa felt both elated and sad. She was excited to be embarking on a new chapter in her career, but upset to be leaving behind her first fulltime job in nearly a decade. To ease her mind, she took a morning tea break at the campus cafeteria and ordered a latte. Then her cell phone beeped to alert an incoming message from her husband, Lachlan. As she nervously picked up the phone and read the four-word message – ‘it’s done, go ahead’ – she realized in that instant that there was no going back now: Lachlan had just signed a two-year contract with his employer to move their family to China, and it was happening in six weeks time. Taking a deep breath as she walked back to her office, the first task was to write a resignation letter, after which Lisa emailed her boss to request an immediate meeting to tell him she was leaving.

...JUST IN TIME (JIT) ADVANTAGES OF JIT 1) Lower stock holding All manufacturing units aim at one thing, which is to minimize the expenditure that related to the ordering and carrying out inventory. The company should order only that much inventory, no more no less or hold no inventory which is needed to carry on their immediate production. So the company should not store any extra inventory that is needed in the production since it will incur an additional carrying cost. As soon as goods are finished, it should be shipped to the customer immediately without any delay in order to minimize the warehouse costs where the goods are placed. 2) Better customer satisfaction Implementing the Just-in-Time inventory management model can allow firms to serve their customers faster and more efficiently. By using Just-in-Time (JIT) model, the company can have a better control over the manufacturing process, making it easier to respond quickly when the needs of customers change where the company can cut the production of one product type and switch it to a different type product to meet changes in customer demand. According to Bonnie Conrad, a computer manufacturer that use JIT inventory control model can quickly increased the production of a hot model, while reducing the number of outdated products. 3) Elimination of waste “The seven waste” 7Ws introduced by Toyota’s Chief Engineer Taiichi Ohno as the core of the Toyota Production system also known as Lean Manufacturing in...

...Let’s first understand the difference between the forecast driven system and the JIT (Just in Time) demand based system so that we can reflect on the benefits and disadvantages of each one of the systems. Let’s first take a look at the forecast driven system because it one of the most traditional way and also used quite extensively in the manufacturing firms in USA. In a layman’s language the way this system works is by predicting a forecast of sales demand based on statistical forecasting models (Decision Maker’s Direct, 2010). This forecast is then passed down the supply chain so that a manufacturing plan can be made to meet the sales demand. Since the manufacturing often produce more than one variations of an item and many times the products are customized and this makes this forecasting process very complex. For example take the case of Silly Bandz factory. I agree that all the items are rubber bands but for every variation the machines have to be set up again and this complicate the process of production management and inventory management and control. In order to understand the imperfection of the forecasting it is necessary to understand first how the process works. Each firm has some indicator for their future sales demand but rarely any firm has the complete and perfect information. The future demand is dependent on various factors like structure and nature of the business (Decision Maker’s Direct, 2010). In some cases the customer themselves provide the...

...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-1T48DIt24 Script You have just seen a video of Situational Leadership Theory being use to teach Constance how to cross a busy street safely. In the lecture we talked about how people develop skills over time and because of this, how the way we lead them needs to change. The questions you will answer now will demonstrate that you understand the principles of Situational Leadership. Test questions 1. In the video, Constance was first taught how to cross the street using a high task (S1) leadership style. This style was used because: a. The teacher’s priority was for Constance to learn to cross the street safely rather than increase her motivation, b. The teacher’s priority was to increase Constance’s motivation to cross the street on her own rather than help her learn how to cross the street safely, c. The teacher’s priority was for Constance to learn to cross the street and to increase her motivation at the same time, d. The teacher’s was letting Constance cross the street independently. a In this case a is the correct response. At this stage it is clear that Constance doesn’t know how to cross the street safely and so until she learns that, the focus must be on learning the task. This is also why c incorrect. If Constance knew how to cross the street but was reluctant to do so then b would be correct, and if she was both competent at the task and motivated then d would be right. 2. The second time...
