...Religious and Ethnic Groups: Buddhism and Asians Cultural Diversity in the United States Religious and Ethnic Groups: Buddhism and Asians The world is a melting pot of people from different religious and ethnic backgrounds. The religious and ethnic groups I have chosen to focus on, are Buddhism and Asians. I selected these groups, because of my curiosity and intrigue for the ancient traditions and mystique surrounding these two groups. The Asian culture is very colorful, fascinating, and dynamic. Buddhism is a religion based on spiritualism and the development of one's spiritual growth toward enlightenment. Even though my culture is not Asian, and Buddhism is not my chosen religion, I do find the discipline, art, and the adherence to traditional values kindred to my own. I also find the Buddhist practice of meditation relaxing and very effective at calming one's mind and in refocusing your energy. Over the course of this paper, I will offer a brief insight into the religious and cultural similarities and differences between the Buddhist religion, the Asian culture, and the rest of the world, as well as the discrimination endured by both. Buddhism: Similarities, Differences, and Discrimination The Buddhist religion is unique because they do not worship a deity, as other faiths do. Buddhist followers believe that each being shall reach enlightenment without the guidance of a God or Gods (BBC Online Services, 2014). Contrary to what most people think or believe...

...Competitive Dynamics in Emirates Airlines Quest for Global Expansion Paul Mugendi MBA 604 Embry Riddle Aeronautical University May 2014 Executive Summary In an industry beset by unpredictable geo-political factors and cyclical crises, only one international carrier has consistently managed to increase revenue and report a profit for the last 25 years. This carrier is Emirates airline (Riva, 2013). Emirates has managed to achieve in less than three decades what giant and well established global carriers like British and Lufthansa managed in about five decades, and that is to serve all five continents without any alliances or partnerships. The objective of this term paper is to analyze some of the competitive dynamics that Emirates, legacy airlines and regional rivals have had to contend with and how Emirates has managed to come out on top especially in some business-hostile territories like North America and Europe. The history and origins of the Emirates airlines are highlighted as this paper outlines the business strategy that has propelled the carrier to international stardom.

...TRAUMATOLOGÍA II CUANDO A LA GENTE BUENA LE PASAN COSAS MALAS HAROLD S. KUSHNER Nereida Sanchez Profesor: Carlos Alvarado Octubre 2012 DIOS NOS PERMITE SER HUMANO Unas de las cosas que aprendimos en esta clase es que es muy importante que conozcamos la visión del hombre que la Biblia nos enseña una concepción general del mundo, para trabajar con el ser humano, con la perspectiva de la imagen de Dios. La palabra “Imagen de Dios” en Genesis 1 es vital/importante para esta clase. Unos de los principios mas importante que una religión puede enserñarnos es el significado de nuestra humanidad. Nosotros los humanos fuimos creado imagen y semejanza de Dios, porque el autor habla en plural como, “hagamos el hombre a nuestra imajen y a la semejanza de Dios” el autor/escritor es un rabino y hebreo muy preparado y el da una visión muy diferente sobre lo que es la imagen de Dios y sobre lo que es la creación. Hay dos pasajes en la Biblia que nos enseña y nos dicen que los nosotros los humanos estamos relacionados con Dios y el mundo que nos rodea. El primero lo encontramos en el principio de Genesis, que nos dice que los seres humanos fueron creado a la imagen y semejanza de Dios y en el final de la creación Dios es representado diciendo ”Hagamos al hombre a nuestra semejanza” Analizando este capitulo nos dice que Dios creo un mundo abierto cubierto de agua y después, la tierra seca y plantas, luego los animales antes de crear a los seres humano La biblia nos dice...

...THE FUTURE OF FORECLOSURE LAW IN THE WAKE OF THE GREAT HOUSING CRISIS OF 2007-2014 Clinical Professor of Law Notre Dame Law School Judith Fox 54 WASHBURN L. J.

On January 15, 2015, RealityTrac, one of the nation’s leading reporters of housing data, declared the foreclosure crisis had ended. Whether or not their declaration proves true, the aftermath of the crisis will be felt for years to come. During the crisis it is estimated more than five million families lost their homes to foreclosure. Federal, state and local responses to the crisis changed laws and perceptions regarding foreclosure. Despite these changes, we end the crisis much the way we began---with a nationwide foreclosure system mistrusted and disliked by lenders and consumers alike. This paper examines the responses to the crisis in an effort to determine what worked, what did not, and where foreclosure law should...
