...During the height of the Cold War many westerners would argue that they had greater amounts of freedom than their sisters in eastern countries who were living under communist regimes. This assumption was based on the fact that the westerners saw that easterners under these regimes had fewer consumer choices than they had. Due to the lack of consumer choices, many western women would argue that their sisters living under the communist regimes had less freedom than they did. However, the freedom that an individual has does not come from the amount of consumer choices that they have; rather, freedom comes from God. Therefore, even if the system of government that one lives under limits the amount of consumer choices that they are presented with,...

...Freedom Lives Within Three people are walking down a New York City street. One is a Black man, one is an Asian woman, and the other person is a White man. One can easily picture the three people walking beside one another because the image is not bizarre or strange, rather; the image is completely normal. The vision is normal because these three American citizens have the freedom to walk where they choose, with whom they choose. The word freedom is often overlooked and taken for granted by those who have it. A popular idea of freedom is: “Freedom lets someone do whatever he chooses to do.” Although this thought of freedom is technically correct, the phrase barely scratches the surface of the idea of freedom. Freedom comes from Old English freedom, meaning, "freedom, state of free will; charter, emancipation, deliverance” (Online Etymology Dictionary). Freedom includes possessing the ability to make a choice for one’s self. For example, the Black man walking down the street can choose to leave his two friends to stop and get coffee without being questioned solely because he simply wanted to buy coffee. Maybe it is Election Day and he made up his mind on the candidate best suited to hold a specific office. He is free to venture to his designated voting poll, and in personal privacy, cast his vote in peace because his personal choice of who to vote for is respected. One normally does not think of stopping at Starbucks as a freedom, while voting is considered a major freedom. Freedom...

...State University, Dover, Delaware, USA, and 46 Received February 2004 Revised February 2006 Accepted February 2006 Peter R. Dickson Florida International University, Miami, Florida, USA Abstract Purpose – To examine issues of standardization and adaptation in global marketing strategy and to explain the dynamics of standardization. Design/methodology/approach – This is a conceptual research paper that has been developed based on gaps in prior frameworks of standardization/adaptation. A three-factor model of standardization/adaptation of global marketing strategy was developed. The three factors include homogeneity of customer response to the marketing mix, transferability of competitive advantage, and similarities in the degree of economic freedom. Findings – The model through the use of feedback effects explains the dynamics of standardization. Research limitations/implications – Future research needs to empirically test the model. To enable empirical validation, reliable and valid measures of the three factors proposed in the model need to be developed. Additionally, the model may be used in future research to delineate the impact a variable may have on the ability of a firm to follow a standardized global marketing strategy. Practical implications – The three-factor model aids decisions relating to standardization in a global marketing context. Originality/value – The paper furthers the discussion on the issue of standardization. Through the identification of three factors...

...True Freedom: Peace of Mind In A Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave, Frederick Douglass sees true freedom as more than being a free man. Just because you are not owned by someone does not mean you are free; just because you are owned by someone does not mean you are enslaved. Douglass states, “I endured all the evils of a slave, and suffered all the care and anxiety of a freeman. I found it a hard bargain. But, hard as it was, I thought it better than the old mode of getting along. It was a step towards freedom to be allowed to bear the responsibilities of a freeman, and I was determined to hold upon it” (221). Douglass is referencing the time in his life that he was working for Master Hugh shortly before his escape into a free state. To Douglass slavery was not being owned by someone; freedom was not being able to work for your own wages; nor was freedom given to you by your master. Freedom is crafted by ones own willpower and inner self. Though Douglass is still a slave he is able to make his own living by hiring himself to Master Hugh. Even though he is still enslaved to Hugh Douglass has his own freedoms in the form of being able to do the work as he pleases as long as he makes enough to pay his master every week. He is on the line of being free and being a slave at the same time. Douglass exemplifies his freedom of working on his own accord by saying, “I was ready to work at night as well as day, and...

...condition exists, the freedom to choose a profession and the freedom to determine socio-economic class exist. Workers’ wages are too low to support the average middle class family, the minimum wage being approximately 7 dollars and change in New Jersey. In addition, corporations ultimately force workers to veer towards giving more money in order to supply for public assistance programs, like Medicaid and food stamps, thereby increasing personal profit since the company is then dependent on the public and outside resources. Also, with intense costs of living, any freedom to determine socio-economic class is slowly brought down. Although capitalism paves the path for a freedom to choose the way in which money is earned, the money-sucking policies associated with it prove to hurt the majority of Americans in today’s society. On paper, the American capitalist system does allow for an independently chosen career, however, is this system as ideal as it seems? Although the freedom to choose one’s method of income exists, many people in the middle class are still limited to few options when it comes to jobs. These limitations may be due to lack of a college degree, or it may be a result of a lack of job availability. On the educational side of job searching, it is a fact that the higher paying jobs usually require a degree, whether it is from completing undergraduate or graduate studies. Unfortunately, many middle and lower class people do not have the money to pursue a degree, and are stuck...

...that everyone in the school had written off these teens. After learning about the hardships in these teens’ lives — an environment full of racism, rejection and the tragedy of seeing no hope for the future — she understood why they saw no point in reading and writing. Gruwell also understood their need for self-expression, so her students began writing anonymous journal entries about their lives. After seeing a film about the Freedom Riders, a group of teenagers who showed remarkable bravery during the Civil Rights Movement, the class decided to call themselves the Freedom Writers. In 1999, their entries became a best-selling book called The Freedom Writers Diary: How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselves and the World Around Them. In 2007, Hilary Swank played Gruwell in the Freedom Writers film. Today, Gruwell runs The Freedom Writers Foundation, which she started in 1997. The foundation trains educators to use innovative techniques to change the world, one class at a time. Gruwell earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of...

...from the above two: before 1980, the return was mainly below 0.02 and reached its lowest return in 1974. After 1980 there was a dramatic rise of the return until 1985. Then it decreased a little and fluctuated around 0.04. Question 2 (a) From the above table we can obtain the Standard Deviation of rc, t equals 0.017232. This is the Std. Dev. estimation with degree of freedom adjustment. In order to get the variance without any degree of freedom adjustment, the equation below must be used to make the adjustment: Var (y without degree of freedom) = T-1T *S2y Thus the variance of rc, t can be calculated: δ2c =35-135 *0.0172322 =0.000288 The variance of the increase rate of real US private consumption is about 0.000288. It measures the squared deviation of rc, t from its expected mean of 0.034093 (b) From the above table we can obtain the Standard Deviation of re, t equals 0.132217. This is the Std.

...assumption that "with higher degree of trust in subordinates, subordinates will have a higher degree of job satisfaction" is made. This assumption is based on the theory of leadership and motivation. According to different level of trust in his subordinates, superiors will apply different types of course in leading and this difference will cause divergence in the subordinates' return. If the returns are intrinsic factors, job satisfaction will be created. If the returns are extrinsic factors, job satisfaction will not change. Job satisfaction has different but similar definitions. Locke (1976) stated that" job satisfaction is a pleasurable emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one job." Latham (1990) believed it is "a pleasing or optimistic psychological state ensuring from the appraisal of an individual's job or job acquaintance." Edwin (1990) defined that is an outcome of stuff member's opinion of how well their job delivers those things that are viewed as important." In the paper, job satisfaction will be simply defined as a sense of happiness or content of an individual towards his job. In this paper, the relationship between leadership and trust will be discussed by Behavioral Theory(both University of Iowa studies and Ohio State studies) and Path-Goal Model first and then the impact of the job satisfaction because of different returns will be discussed by Two factors theory, Maslow's Hierarchy of Need Theory and Job Characteristics Model.

Hong Kong is ranked 1st out of 41 countries in the Asia–Pacific region. Hong Kong has demonstrated a high degree of resilience during the ongoing global turmoil and remains one of the world’s most competitive financial and business centers. The highquality legal framework, which provides effective protection of property rights and strong support for the rule of law, continues to be the cornerstone of strength for the dynamic city economy. There is little tolerance for corruption. Regulatory efficiency and openness to global commerce strongly support entrepreneurial dynamism, while overall macroeconomic stability minimizes uncertainty. Economic interaction with China has become more intense and sophisticated, chiefly through strengthened financial linkages, and financial markets are extremely well capitalized.

...AIBO grew out of Sony's Computer Science Laboratory (CSL). Founded in 1990, CSL was set up to emulate the famed innovation center at Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). CSL's first product was the Aperios operating system, later to form the base software AIBO's. When Nobuyuki Idei became president of Sony in 1995, he sought to adopt a digital agenda, reflected in the new motto he gave the company, “Digital Dream Kids,” and the prominence he gave to CSL.[8] Two AIBO Prototypes and transparent ERS-7 Famed engineer Dr. Toshitada Doi is credited as AIBO’s original progenitor: in 1994 he had started work on robots with artificial intelligence expert Masahiro Fujita within CSL. Fujita would write that the robot's behaviors will need to “be sufficiently complex or unexpected so that people keep an interest in watching or taking care of it”.[9] Fujita argued that entertainment robots might be viable as "A robot for entertainment can be effectively designed using various state-of-the-art technologies, such as speech recognition and vision, even though these technologies may not be mature enough for applications where they perform a critical function. While there exists special and difficult requirements in entertainment applications themselves, limited capabilities in the speech and vision systems may turn out to be an interesting and attractive feature for appropriately designed entertainment robots." His early monkey-like prototype "MUTANT" included behaviors that would become...

In addition to the day-to-day tasks, such as getting enough sleep, eating properly and arriving on time for their classes there are relationship issues and other distractions that cause a student to deter from academic studies. Ceplak (2012) repeated a student’s comments stating that the student liked school because of his classmates, socializing and friendships even though he received poor grades. An Individual that copes with his or her new found freedoms and all the distractions of college life are better equipped to do well and earn their Bachelor’s degree. Holding yourself responsible for your conduct and changing your behavior so school work is the primary concern are positive steps toward the personal responsibility that is needed for academic success. Another factor that can aid an individual during pursuit of a degree is proper organization of all aspects of his or her life. With proper management of time, a student will find that there are plenty of hours in the day to make a commitment to attend every class, complete all assignments and thoroughly study for each test with ample free-time to...
