The Lamb and The Wolf

Once there was a naughty lamb. His mother always loved her child so much that she worried about the safety of the child. His mother always warned him, “Be careful! You must not go into the forest. Wild animals live in there. They may threaten you. Sometimes they would eat you.” But the mischievous lamb never listened. The lamb casually went into the forest and played there for a long time till it turned dark in the evening.

One day, as usual the lamb wandered far off into the forest. There he saw a spring. “I am thirsty. Let me drink some water,” he thought. He decided to take water from the spring for his thirsty. While the lamb was drinking water in the spring, a wolf watched from behind a tree.

“A lamb! My lucky day!” the wolf thought, approaching the lamb. The lamb was not aware of the wolf for some time. There was no one besides these two animals to save the lamb from the wolf.

“You know this forest belongs only to wild animals like me. Why have you come in here to take water from this spring?” asked the wolf.

The lamb knew that wolves were dangerous animals. “Mother has warned me about wolves. I am sure this fellow wants to eat me for his lunch. This fellow is ferocious. I must escape from this animal,” he thought.

The wolf continued, “You are also dirtying water. How will I drink this polluted water now?”

“But the spring flows from where you are standing down to where I am standing, Sir!” said the lamb, in a meek voice. The wolf was surprised to hear such an intelligent answer from the lamb. But the wolf was just looking for an excuse to kill the lamb. “How dare you argue with me? I think you are the same lamb who had abused me last year,” the wolf shouted.

“Last year? Bur Sir, I was not even born then!” the lamb squeaked. The lamb feared that the wolf was looking after a pretext to kill the lamb. The lamb became cautious of its words and gestures. This way both the lamb and the wolf talked to each other cautiously.

The lamb heard some woodcutters. They were coming the way in which the lamb and the wolf were standing. “”If I can keep talking to this wolf for a little while longer, the woodcutters will be here. They will chase him away,” thought the clever lamb. So, he said, “Mr. Wolf, you are right. I have dirtied the water. But, I did not mean to upset you.”

This way the lamb kept on talking for few more minutes. As the lamb spoke, the woodcutters arrived. They saw both the lamb and the wolf.

They caught the wolf and beat him before letting him go. The lamb was relieved to be safe. He ran back to his mother. He told her his mother what had happened in the forest with the wolf and the woodcutter. And then he promised his mother never to wander into the forest again.

The Shepherd Boy And The Wolf

A Shepherd Boy tended his master's Sheep near a dark forest not far from the village. Soon he found life in the pasture very dull. All he could do to amuse himself was to talk to his dog or play on his shepherd's pipe.

One day as he sat watching the Sheep and the quiet forest, and thinking what he would do should he see a Wolf, he thought of a plan to amuse himself.

His Master had told him to call for help should a Wolf attack the flock, and the Villagers would drive it away. So now, though he had not seen anything that even looked like a Wolf, he ran toward the village shouting at the top of his voice, "Wolf! Wolf!"

As he expected, the Villagers who heard the cry dropped their work and ran in great excitement to the pasture. But when they got there they found the Boy doubled up with laughter at the trick he had played on them.

A few days later the Shepherd Boy again shouted, "Wolf! Wolf!" Again the Villagers ran to help him, only to be laughed at again.

Then one evening as the sun was setting behind the forest and the shadows were creeping out over the pasture, a Wolf really did spring from the underbrush and fall upon the Sheep.

In terror the Boy ran toward the village shouting "Wolf! Wolf!" But though the Villagers heard the cry, they did not run to help him as they had before. "He cannot fool us again," they said.

The Wolf killed a great many of the Boy's sheep and then slipped away into the forest.

The Gunny Wolf

Once there was a little girl who lived in a small cabin with her Mother at the edge of a deep dark forest. They had a small garden and a small yard that was surrounded by a white fence.

Inside the forest lived a fierce animal called the Gunny Wolf. This creature never came outside of the dark woods. The little girl's mother always told her, "Whatever you do, don't go into the forest! Stay out of the forest, and you will be safe."�

The little girl always promised that she would never go into the forest. "I won't!"�

One day, the mother had to into the village. Before she left the house, she warned "Remember your promise and don't go near the forest. If you do, the GUNNY WOLF might get you.

The little girl promised again that she would never go into the forest. "I won't." But, as soon as her mother had gone, the little girl decided to pick flowers to decorate the house. The first flowers were yellow flowers that grew right beside the fence around the year and the garden. But, as she picked the yellow flowers, she saw some pretty blue flowers blooming right at the edge of the forest, and she forgot about her promise.

The little girl went to the edge of the forest where the flowers grew and began to pick the blue flowers. As she picked, she sang a special song. "Kum-Kwa-Khi-Wa, Kum-Kwa-Khi-Wa."

While she picked the blue flowers, she saw some beautiful white flowers. They would look so lovely in a vase with the yellow and blue flowers. She could surprise her mother with them when she came home. The little girl just had to pick some of them too. They were deeper in the forest, but the little girl could still see her house. So, she wasn't worried about the Gunny Wolf. She walked deeper into the forest where the flowers grew and began to pick them. As she picked them she sang, "Kum-Kwa-Khi-Wa, Kum-Kwa-Khi-Wa."�

While she picked the white flowers, she saw some beautiful red flowers. She just had to pick some of them too. They were very deep in the forest. She wouldn't be able to see her house from there, but she would not stay in the deep deep forest for long, only enough to pick the flowers. She didn't worry about the Gunny Wolf. She walked to where the flowers grew and began to pick them. As she picked them she sang, "Kum-Kwa-Khi-Wa, Kum-Kwa-Khi-Wa."�

Just as the little girl picked the last of the red flowers she needed, "Arrrgh!"� Up came the Gunny Wolf from out of nowhere.

"Little Girl, You sing that GOOD SWEET SONG AGAIN!" said the Gunny Wolf.

So the little girl began to sing, "Kum-Kwa-Khi-Wa, Kum-Kwa-Khi-Wa."

As she sang, the Gunny Wolf closed his eyes, licked his lips, rested his long nose on his paws and fell asleep.

When the little girl saw the Gunny Wolf was asleep, she started to tiptoe away to go home. (Put your hands on your laps and use them to make a running sound ) "Pit-a-Pat, Pit-a-Pat, Pit-a Pat"

UP rose the GUNNY WOLF, and he came after her, making a noise that sounded like, "HUNKA-CHA, HUNKA CHA, HUNKA-CHA"� And he caught her!

"Little Girl, Why you move?"�

"I no move," said the little girl.

"Then sing that GOOD SWEET SONG AGAIN!"� said the Gunny Wolf.

So the little girl began to sing, "Kum-Kwa-Khi-Wa, Kum-Kwa-Khi-Wa." As she sang, the Gunny Wolf closed his eyes, licked his lips, rested his long nose on his paws and fell asleep again.

When the little girl saw the Gunny Wolf was asleep, she started to tiptoe away to go home. "Pit-a-Pat, Pit-a-Pat, Pit-a Pat"�

UP rose the GUNNY WOLF, and he came after her, making a noise, "HUNKA-CHA, HUNKA CHA, HUNKA-CHA."� And he caught her!

"Little Girl, Why you move?"�

"I no move,"� said the little girl.

"Then sing that GOOD SWEET SONG AGAIN!"� said the Gunny Wolf.

So the little girl began to sing, "Kum-Kwa-Khi-Wa, Kum-Kwa-Khi-Wa."� As she sang, the Gunny Wolf closed his eyes, licked his lips, rested his long nose on his paws and fell asleep again. But this time she sang the song longer to be sure the Gunny Wolf was asleep, "Kum-Kwa-Khi-Wa, Kum-Kwa-Khi-Wa."�

When the little girl saw the Gunny Wolf was sound asleep, she started to tiptoe away to go home.

"Pit-a-Pat, Pit-a-Pat," She ran past the red flowers.

"Pit-a-Pat, Pit-a Pat,"� She ran past the blue flowers.

"Pit-a-Pat, Pit-a Pat,"� She ran past the white flowers.

"Pit-a-Pat, Pit-a Pat,"� She ran out of the forest.

"Pit-a-Pat, Pit-a Pat,"� She ran through her gate.

"Pit-a-Pat, Pit-a Pat,"� She ran into her house.

She SLAMMED THE DOOR! And she never went into the forest by herself again!

...Japan in Asia: A Hard Case for Soft Power by Thomas U. Berger Thomas Berger is an associate professor of International Relations at Boston University. he concept of ‘‘soft power’’—defined by Joe Nye as ‘‘the ability to get what you want through attraction rather than through coercion’’1— has proven a seductive one for Japan. Since the concept was popularized in the 1990s, Japanese scholars and policymakers have enthusiastically taken it up, eagerly exploring how Japan’s soft power resources could be exploited to burnish Japan’s image in the world and help reshape its environment in subtle but important ways. Some—perhaps encouraged by the new attention given to the popularity of Japanese anime and manga, and by the general buzz about ‘‘Cool Japan’’—have even described Japan as a ‘‘Soft Power Superpower.’’2 It sometimes seemed, in more overheated moments, that Pokemon and Sailor Moon would conquer the world, succeeding where the Imperial Army and Navy had failed.3 That soft power would prove attractive is unsurprising. Although Japan has considerable hard power resources, it has shown great reluctance to actually use them in the way that students of international relations would T 1 The idea was originally advanced by in Joseph Nye, Bound to Lead: The Changing Nature of American Power (New York: Basic Books, 1990).

...The United States continues to spend significantly more on health care than any country in the world; however, even though with this statistic the United States has a lot of uninsured and does not have the healthiest citizens. The lack of universal healthcare coverage in the United States has been a forefront issue. With the overwhelming amount of uninsured Americans and the past unsuccessful efforts of health care reform, the possibility of universal health care seemed to be very unlikely. The new healthcare reform bill that was recently passed under Obama’s administration anticipates covering 30 more million of the uninsured (Riegelman, 2010). However, this bill does not offer universal healthcare. While excellent medical care is available in the United States, the rising cost and the U.S. health care delivery system present many challenges for the consumer and lawmakers. This paper addresses four dimensions that are pivotal to the successes and failures of the system: cost, efficiency, quality. The cost of the U.S. health care system is higher than any country in the world. Its efficiency is also under heavy scrutiny. If it were not an emergency most physicians would require insurance verification. Therefore, patients would be delayed of treatment. Moreover, The healthcare system in the U.S. should be redesigned in terms of prevention rather than treatment when people are already sick. Insurance should not go higher for people that have pre-existing conditions or with more...

Many countries made progression through education. Nevertheless, some of them also failed to retain the development achieved since these countries failed to supply required skilled workforce for emerging economics caused by globalization and rapid change of economic pattern. This now forces policymakers to prioritize the production of skilled manpower that can contribute for sustainable development. The countries that achieved sustainable development have given a high priority to science and technology education in formulating education policy. Bangladesh has no more alternatives in order to gain development, except properly utilizing its population.

...QUESTION #2) A1) What is the typical economic growth path described as “modernization” for a developing country? How is it achieved? (You can discuss a particular country’s example). The typical economic growth path described as “modernization” for developing countries presented by the article runs from agriculture through manufacturing and only later to services. As the author explained, the logic supporting the conventional path towards an advanced economy is straightforward and development typically involves moving workers from low-productivity activities such as farming to high-productivity sectors, as industry for instance. The Asian miracle followed this pattern, when cheap labour, raw goods, and lower business costs offered by Southeast Asia countries were key factor in attracting global capital and a shift from agriculture economic-based to manufacturing. However, “the Asian Miracle” faced a serious crisis in 1997 and interrupted the cycle. Nowadays, they started to enter on the service momentum. A2) How is India’s growth apparently refuting usual trend? India’s growth is going straight from agriculture to services, leapfrogging manufacturing, thanks to technology and outsourcing, which allows modern services such as software development, call centers and insurance claims, use skilled workers, exploit economies of scale and export those services worldwide. Going deeper in this case, Ejaz Ghani (2010) explains that the growth experience of India and other...

...Cost Structure It is easy to increase raw materials, labor and supplies to meet demand but not so easy to buy a new forklift since they are capital investment which require large financial outlays and time for completion A proper understanding of cost structure hinges on the fundamental distinction between fixed costs and variable costs. Fixed costs can be classified into two categories: - (1) committed fixed costs, p - (2) discretionary fixed costs. Committed fixed costs are costs associated with investments in basic organizational assets and structure (e.g., depreciation, insurance expenses, property taxes, and administrative salaries). Such costs are long term in nature (several years) and cannot be significantly reduced in the short term even during periods of diminished activity. In contrast, Discretionary fixed costs (e.g., advertising, repairs and maintenance, research and development) are short term in nature (one year). Such costs can be altered by current managerial decisions with minimal damage to an organization's long-term goals. As a result, these costs are generally the first to be cut during bad times. In terms of per unit and total comparisons, fixed costs that are expressed on a per-unit basis will vary inversely with the level of activity. In other words, unitized fixed costs will decrease as volume increases and vice versa. However, in total, fixed costs remain constant within the relevant range. For example, rent will not increase if a factory...

Multinational Business

...1. Why are multinational enterprises (MNEs) sometimes criticized for their activities in host countries, particularly in the Third World? Identify and evaluate these criticisms. A multinational enterprise “owns and controls operations in more than one country.” The headquarters of the MNE are based in the home country and it is referred to as the parent firm. The parent firm has one or more affiliates in a foreign country. The affiliate is known as a foreign affiliate and the foreign country is called the host country. There are many MNEs present throughout the world and the largest include Wal-Mart in the USA, BP in Britain, and Toyota in Japan. In the developing countries PDVSA is the largest MNE. Multinational enterprises use “flows of foreign direct investment” to finance their foreign affiliates. These capital flows change the industrial composition of production and employment in both the home and host countries. The flows are usually small compared to the total financing of the affiliate which also come from lenders and investors. The multinational does not only finance its foreign affiliates through flows of foreign direct investment but also provides affiliates with intangible assets for them to use. These include proprietary technology, “skills specific to the organizational function of the firm”, product differentiation and brand names and large amounts of financial capital.

Free market is a modern concept that facilities buyers and sellers by limiting their restrictions. The advantage of free market for consumers is that they can get products at inexpensive prices.
