When they opened Disneyland Paris ,they only offered a French sausage, in spite of the fact that most people that visit the park are foreigners and prefer different cuisines . It caused decrease in the number of visitors . After such a mistake now they have learned a lesson and for example ,if they are going to open new Disneyland in a location where there is a strong restrictions on food based on the religion or the preferences of the people , they will be much more careful about it. The attires that are worn by the people and their appearance now can be graded due to their cultural and environmental background. Some great experiences like putting feng shui signs to the entrance of the park showed that they respect the local people's values . They can apply this experience to become more successful in other new countries. Also using special Chinese attractions and decorations on holidays was extremely effective and gave them a hint to combine the traditions and customs of the local people with their own. Disney now has to destroy the frontiers between them and the local people in order to increase the number of the visitors as they had lots of difficulties with the stereotypes of the French had about them. Hiring more local people for management can be a good solution so the local people can feel more involved in . The...

I know it is tempting to hang cat photos, and inspirational pictures, but they serve no purpose in productivity. Items such as white boards, contact lists, charts, and graphs are much more suited for an efficient office. The final piece of a well-organized office is the floor. The floor should be clean and free of unnecessary objects. A person should be able to walk around without fear of falling due to trip hazards. It should also have room for filing cabinets, or other storage containers. These objects should be able to be placed in a manner that is conducive to a proper Feng shui. Feng shui is a Chinese...

Economics of the Tang Dynasty: The dynasty faced economic stress due to the focus on the arts and pleasurable existence. Political weakening of power led to further economic distress. Politics of the Sui Dynasty: The 29 year Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal and began the restoration of the Great Wall. This required over-taxation of the peasants. A rebellion in 618 ended the dynasty. The country returned to a focus on establishing a legal code. The political structure has endured. A central government system united China under a new system. Political unity returned as nomads and nobility were brought together under state control and the bureaucracy was rebuilt. The central government was known as the “System of Three Cabinets and Six Departments” .The three cabinets were a legislative policy making branch, a deliberation branch and an executive branch. Departments covered other political needs as personnel, income, formal procedures, justice and the law, and the political workings of the government. The Sui government has been the framework for all governmental systems, which have followed. The complicated local governmental systems needed simplification.

...being overthrown and the repeated splitting and reunification of China. With constant conflict and millions of soldiers having died over the years, one would think China would never experience a state of tranquility, and then the Sui dynasty was succeeded by the Tang dynasty. The Tang dynasty was a period of peace and prosperity for China. There were many factors that contributed to the peace and prosperity of the Tang dynasty, however it seems to be true that all things good must come to an end. This time of peace was disrupted by the Rebellion of An Lushan, which marked the decline of the Tang dynasty. There were many components that gave way to the peacefulness of China prevalent during the Tang dynasty, some of which were residual from the Sui dynasty. One of the major factors was the reunification of north and south China. This occurred under the reign of the Sui dynasty, which prevented future conflicts between the north and the south by creating a sense of unity and wholeness. Although the unification was done by force, it greatly benefited China and the Tang dynasty. It is said that this unification “ushered in three centuries of cultural flowering,”1 which is a very long period of cultural advancement, especially for China. Another feat under the Sui dynasty was the construction of most of the Grand Canal, which linked the north and the south, however it was under the Tang dynasty that the canal opened. The Grand Canal increased the productivity and prosperity of the Tang...

...were more than 5 dynasties during the ancient era. After that, China went into the Imperial Era which included the Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties. The Sui Dynasty lasted for only 38 years and had only three emperors. The Equal-field system was initiated to reduce the rich-poor social gap and resulted in enhanced agricultural productivity; governmental power was centralized and the Three Departments and Six Ministries system officially instituted; coinage was standardized and re-unified; defense was improved, and The Great Wall was expanded. Buddhism was also spread and encouraged throughout the empire, uniting the varied people and cultures of China. Buddhism was popular during the Six Dynasties period that preceded the Sui dynasty. Buddhism gained prominence during the period, when central political control was limited, and also created a unifying cultural force that uplifted the people out of war and into the Sui Dynasty. The decline of the Sui Dynasty started from the second monarch, Emperor Yang, who was a typical tyrant. The expensive Military campaigns aroused widespread unrest. After returning from a failed campaign against Korea, the emperor was murdered in his palace. One of his generals declared the foundation of a new dynasty, known as the Tang Dynasty. Tang Dynasty was founded by the Li family, who seized power during the decline and collapse of the Sui Empire. The Tang Dynasty was the most glistening historic period in China's history.

...China is the world’s most continuous major civilization and had gone through many changes in their early years. The Sui, Tang and Song dynasties played a major role in transforming the political, economic and social structure of the country. Each dynasty incorporated policies that changed the landscape and affected the people of China. The Sui Dynasty had two distinct periods of rule and each had a lasting and profound effect on his people. Wen Ti was the first to rule and saw him enact a new set of strategies that would benefit the Chinese people in all facets of their lives. Ti introduced a tax reduction, a land allocation system and a census to address equitable and fair tax collection. These components working in concert with each other allowed for citizens to become more involved in commerce and ultimately drove the growth of the Chinese economy. Wen Ti’s son Yang was next to rule and similar to his father added to the country’s growth through innovative projects. His largest contribution was the construction of the Grand Canal. The Grand Canal opened the entire country form North to South, this passage way served as a key source in the movement of crops and goods throughout the country. For most of its history, China had a very sparse population in the South and The Grand Canal allowed for the movement of people throughout the entire country, this was key to the growth of the economy, growing the tax base and making rule easier in the entire country.

...Assignment 6 03/04/2015 Sui Dynasty (589 – 618 CE) was a short lived Imperial Chinese dynasty, preceded by the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It unified China for the first time after nearly four centuries of north-south division. It was followed by the Tang Dynasty. Founded by Emperor Wen of Sui, the capital was Chang’an. His reign saw the reunification of Southern and Northern China and the construction of the Grand Canal, connecting the Yellow and Yangtze River for easy trading. The canal was used to carry rice and other agricultural products. Wendi was the first emperor to build a centralized government, created legal codes (social security); Buddhism was also spread and encouraged throughout the empire, uniting varied peoples and cultures of China.(Refer to pages 277; Wikipedia,2015). The Sui dynasty which reunified China after nearly four centuries of political fragmentation during which the north and south had developed in different ways, played a part far more important than its short span would suggest. In the same way that the Qin rulers of the 3rd century BC had unified China after the Zhanguo (Warring States) period, so the Sui brought China together again and set up many institutions that were to be adopted by their successors, the Tang. Like the Qin, however, the Sui overstrained their resources and fell. And also as in the case of the Qin, traditional history has judged the Sui somewhat unfairly, stressing the harshness of the Sui regime and the megalomania...

Who was Wendi? What had he done? Who was Yangdi? What were some important things he did? Even though there was a less amount of civilization in China compared to the civilization of America, eastern and western Europe, there was still important new ways that were formed. These innovations were mostly technology based that had also affected the wider world. The Song took control a little bit after the Tang had declined in the beginning of the 10th century. The Song dynasty was nothing compared to Tangs’ size. The political power wasn’t as effective during the Song era as it was during Tang. The full restoration of the Confucian order and scholar-gentry was seen during the Song era. During this time male dominance was very important....
