China may have the world’s most strict censorship and monitoring system, and it has been pushed to its limits to control sensitive political topic such as Tiananmen Square, 2010 Nobel Prize winners Liu Xiaobo and so on.

...Francisco Lara CJR 240 March 1, 2011 History of the Prison System Prison is an institution for the confinement of persons convicted of criminal offenses. Throughout history, most societies have built places in which to hold persons accused of criminal acts pending some form of trial. The idea of confining persons after a trial as punishment for their crimes is relatively new. During the 15th century in Europe, the penalties for crimes were some form of corporal punishment like whippings for less serious crimes and execution or enslavement for more serious offenses. In early 16th century England, vagrants and petty offenders were committed to correctional institutions known as workhouses. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, the government transported convicted felons to the English colonies. The punishment was thought of as the hard labor to which the prisoners were consigned. It wasn't until the 17th century that the idea that persons convicted of crimes could be punished by confinement and released after a period of time. During the 17th century, England and other European countries like Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands began imprisoning debtors, delinquent juveniles, minor misdemeanant, and felons. Early jails were mostly dark, overcrowded, and filthy. Prisoners were herded together indiscriminately, with no separation of men and women, the young...

...rights violation in China and Google’s dilemma. Companies deal with ethical conflicts with China daily. Google Inc.’s struggled with ethical implications for doing business with China. The paper addresses the ethical problems that companies like Google, Inc. encountered that caused their decision to withdraw from China. The paper will show how Vietnam covered up corruption, freedom of speech, transparency, and supply chain ethical issues. Big companies continue to draw criticism for accommodating governments and compromise their ethical or moral standards. Companies have an enormous opportunity in China to make a bigger profit by doing business in China. The organization cannot assume that Chinese do business the same way Americans do. To do business in China a company has to follow government directives. Chinese want to do business with people they trust. Terms on contracts will not mean the same thing to them as they do to Americans. Chinese businesses do not feel they are bound to contracts. In America a company competes with 100’s of business but in China, you are competing with globally. Google Inc’s announce in Beijing their decision to withdraw from China after ethical implications of hacking into the privacy of Google’s users.

...literary gap between America and China with his Chinese based literature. Jin was born and raised in China during the time period Mao Tse-tung, but moved to America as an adult. Rather than depicting his life through an autobiography, he utilizes short stories to dictate his life experiences. In the short story “Saboteur”, Ha Jin depicts how a corrupt legal system can commit any action without repercussions. Jin provides an abundant amount of examples of demoralization occurring within the walls of justice from the start of the story to the finale. The story begins as a serene lunch between newlyweds at a train station. Mr. Chiu and his wife are on the receiving ends of mockery by two police officers. Right from the beginning the reader can comprehend that the officers are disrespectful. The average person knows that it is discourteous to laugh and steal glances at the person he or she is laughing at; one would hope that someone who is supposed to protect the public would respect those who they are attempting to defend. The mood for the scene is set in play as Jin writes “The air smelled of rotten melon” (163). Granted, they are located in an area where various food stations are located, however, the melon reference delivers the message that foul play is present. The rotten smell gives an uneasy, queasy vibe. Note that the author mentioned that air is filled with the odor, rather than a particular area, which is interpreted as the justice system that surrounds everybody and...

Also, how the court systems expedite or increase labor force to deal with increase workload is elaborated. History of Corrections Corrections The United State court system is unique to other countries because of the way they deal with criminals. Non-violent criminals are given the opportunity to correct themselves and ingrate back into society; they are not just imprisoned or put to death like other countries such as China. Correction is defined as “the range of community and institutional sanctions, treatment programs, and services for managing criminal offenders.” (Seiter 2011) The United States prison/jail have been dealing with overpopulation issues for quite sometimes, it has come to the point where it is only possible to incarcerate violent offenders for a long period of time because of resource issues.

...Robbie Gutierrez English 102 04/18/13 Road to Success Once, the American educational system was viewed as the best in the world. Other countries would study our methods and try to copy them in their own countries. Today the American education system is no longer the best in the world. With decreasing test scores and poor academic achievement, people have questioned why there have not been any changes in our education system. It’s important for the upcoming generation to get an education and take back the number one rank in public education. It should be the major concern for this country, because children are the future of this country. Other industrialized countries are ranking higher in test standardized test scores compared to the U.S. Because the educational systems of other countries are better than ours, we could learn from their educational successes. The United States could benefit from implementing three things; better teacher training, emphasis math & science, and create a system of academic student tracking. America is the land of the free and the land of many opportunities. It’s a place where many people from around the world come to have a better life. America has many opportunities to offer, but it lacks on one thing, a comprehensive education system. Each year America is falling behind other countries and it’s getting worse as time goes on. The only thing we were number one in is having the most medals in the London Olympics. Furthermore, in a...

...economic factors that weaken the overall state of Indonesia. Economic and political factors together make up the part of the political economy “the political, economic, and legal systems of a country are interdependent; they interact and influence each other, and in doing so they affect the level of economic well-being.” (Hill, 2012) Indonesia’s economy grew steadily for 30 years under the rule of President Suharto, but at great cost to the people. He used “crony capitalism” to ensure the business success of his family and those closest to him. Massive debts were accumulated during the 1990s, and poor use of a $43 billion rescue package caused the people to protest and force Suharto out of office. Democracy was on the horizon with the first directly elected president in 2004. The changes in politics have improved conditions in Indonesia, but many problems still exist. The current economy is struggling due to poor infrastructure investments that have resulted in a broken road and electrical system for the country making it very difficult for businesses to move goods throughout the country to prospective customers. The decrease in Foreign Investments is another cause for the poor economic state of Indonesia. As stated above, both the economy and the political system along with the legal system together make up the overall political economy for the country. Indonesia, with their issues, may take...

...Rehabilitation Paper kermit the frog CJA-234 Rehabilitation in prison it is a part of a process of bettering offenders and preventing them from further criminal activity and behavior. The goal of rehabilitation is to re-shape the individuals and prepare them to enter the society with a different state of mind and start a new distant from the crime life.” In modern penology, the real purpose of sending criminals to prison is to transform them into honest and law abiding citizens by inculcating in them distaste for crime and criminality” (US-China Law Review; Mar2010, Vol. 7 Issue 3, p15-29, 15p). In United States of America the correction system provides many programs that are designed in order to rehabilitate inmates. Some of those programs include religion related services like Bible study groups or religious congregations. The other forms can include art crafts, sports, found raising activities or prison work assignments.

...In today’s economy China has become a big player. If you look at many of the products in your house, most of them probably say made in China. With China being a partner to a lot of US businesses we have to be sensitive to the culture and traditions in China. To put this simple China has a different way of doing business than we do and in order to become successful when expanding into China we need to understand and accommodate those differences. While there are many cross-cultural differences between the US and China I will look at three of them. Three of those cross-cultural differences you need to understand and accommodate before you expand into China are ethnic culture, priorities, and decision making. The ethnic culture of China varies greatly from that of the US. Chinese people are more focused on relationships and group work while Americans are more individuals. Chinese tend to be more courteous and create personal relationships with their co-workers. Americans tend to be more direct and put business above personal relationships. Because of these differences, Americans tend to put conflicts behind them quicker for the betterment of the business and Chinese tend to take things more personally and it takes them longer to put conflicts in the past. Chinese also respect people based on age and wisdom whereas Americans tend to respect success and achievement. When expanding into China you need to address the ethnic culture in order to build a strong team and work...

...“Socialism is Great!” A Worker’s Memoir of the New China Lijia Zhang Brittany Hall The 1980s is a decade where economic and political changes bewilder China. China received self-inflicted sufferings from the Culture Revolution, which continues to linger there today, even though China is now the most powerful economic engine in the world. These economic changes that China is facing are stretching the model of a Communist command economy towards a new model of a market economy and thrusting for individual freedom. In 1980, Lijia Zhang was just 16 years old when her mother dragged her out of school and brought her to work at Liming Machinery Factory that produced missiles designed to reach the United States of America. Around that time unemployment was rather very high, there was that temperate policy which aloud children to inherit their parents job if they retired. So her 43 year old mother took advantage of that policy, seeing as their family was very poor obviously. Her mother thought that if she didn’t take advantage of the policy now, that the policy would disappear. Because of that policy Lijia’s plans to ever attend college was vanished and belittled her dreams of writing and being a journalist. Her mother blamed her husband, who was mostly absent since he had gotten into political trouble in the 1950s, for his reckless fondness for books and ideas. This book is a journey about sexual and political awakening. Lijia transforms from a normal well behaved Chinese girl...
