...Globalization is an inevitable phenomenon in human history that has been bringing the world closer through the exchange of goods and products, information, knowledge and culture. Vietnam affected much from globalization has some prominent changes in economic, and socio-culture. Firstly, the development of Vietnamese economic has changed rapidly due to the globalization. Until 1986, Viet Nam had operated as a centrally planned economy with significant inputs of aid from the Soviet Union. Viet Nam was closed to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) until the adoption of renewal policies. In 1987, the first foreign investment law was passed. Since then, the FDI legislation has been revised four times - in 1990, 1992, 1996 and 2000. The increased integration of the Vietnamese economy into the world economy during the 1990s has been accompanied by rapid economic growth and a reduction in poverty. The globalization has affected the countries in the Mekong Sub-region in different ways, Vietnam just very recently have started to open up the economy, and changed the tourism policy-both aspects that affect trafficking a great deal. In 2007, Vietnam joined in the World Trade Organization (WTO). This leads us to believe in that Vietnam is inclined to increasingly participate in this “flat world”. Secondly, Globalization is the system of interaction among the countries of the world in order to develop the global economy. Since 1986, Vietnam has been conducting a process of economic...

..."Love is patient and kind, it is never jealous, love is never boastful or conceited, it is never rude or selfish, it does not take offence, nor is it resentful. Love takes no pleasure in others’ sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end. There are three things that last: faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love." When you love, you love with your body, with your heart, with your mind, but not with eyes! As Shakespeare said , “Love is blind!”. Love is deaf! Love makes the world goes round! Firstly, when somebody is in love you can feel it. People who fall in love are just like the sun. You can see the sunrise and the sunset in their eyes, in their heart, everywhere! They are blind! They can't see people around them, but just the one they love. They are deaf! They can't hear people gossiping or saying bad things, but just lovely whispers. Love takes you to the heaven and makes you kinder, more beautiful. Secondly, love doesn't need colours or sounds! Love is beauty, love is music! It's imposibile to find a defect in something that is perfect .Love is perfect! The one you love is perfect for you! You don't need eyes or ears to see and to hear this. Just look carefuly in you heart, listen to it and when your mind will tell you ''He is the one” , that means he is the one! To love means to live! When your heart is empty, you can consider yourself...

...Love is Blind, Among Other Things “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is a comedy by William Shakespeare set in and around the city of Athens during a time when the belief in the existence of magic and magical beings was not outrageous. The characters used form a wide variety of social classes from royalty to the lowly working class which helps to show that the affects of love are not confined to any specific group of people, but that everyone is equally afflicted. Helena is one of the four young lovers depicted in this play and has a unique perspective on love by being the only female who does not have a suitor. Shakespeare uses Helena’s first soliloquy at the end of act one, scene one, along with the play itself to help solve some of love’s more mysterious questions such as: why people love others who do not love them; why people fall in love with certain people; and why people fall in and out of love. Why is it that some people love others who do not love them back? When Helena is following Demetrius through the forest while he is trying to find Hermia and Lysander, Demetrius constantly berates Helena, telling her that he does not love her “I love thee not, therefore pursue me not.” (2.1.188) and that it sickens him to look upon her “For I am sick when I do look on thee.” (2.1.212). Helena, feeling Demetrius’ scorn, continues to follow him and profess her love for him “The more you beat me, I will fawn on you.” (2.1.204). The logic for why she follows him cannot exist in the mind...

...blindly optimistic protagonist takes to reunite himself with his love in the novel Candide. This sanguine character, Candide, witnesses and endures many highly exaggerated events related to philosophy, war, religion and love, created by the author to satirize blind optimism and illustrate to the reader how it blurs people’s perceptions of life, producing adverse effects. Voltaire heavily derides adhering to and holding sacred philosophies without thinking about what they truly mean. Pangloss, the professor in the story, acts as a source of much of the blind optimism for other characters, preaching “metaphysico-theology-cosmolo-nigology” (20). Voltaire exaggerates this title by giving it a name with an...

He attended regular schools, walk long distances, climbed trees, attend college and also do the amazing task of riding a bike.

The story opens with the narrator’s wife telling him that her blind friend is going to be visiting. She knew this blind man because she had worked for him “one summer in Seattle ten years ago” (Carver 299).

After, the wife stopped working for the blind man she kept in touch with him through audiotape. One day, the narrator’s wife let her husband listen to one tape, but when he heard his own name on the...

...forms of love. Some are powerful and demand attention while others are more subtle and just below the surface. In recent years, love has drifted from these subtle levels to the more noticeable ones, namely passion. In my opinion, our society downplays the real necessity for genuine affection. By this I mean that we, as a society, spend so much time focusing on only one level of love (passion) that we tend to neglect and not recognize the need for closeness and trust (friendship). Love is an all-encompassing emotion that can be powerful and demanding, but also rewarding and pleasurable. What is the one emotion that has everyone mystified? What is the one emotion that has started as many wars as it has ended? What emotion has had more plays, songs, and stories written about it than anything else? Love, that one emotion that makes enemies into friends and friends into enemies. So many legends surround this emotion, from the goddess Athena and Helen of Troy to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. *-(* George Sand *)*- Love is the greatest gift we can ever hope to give or receive. Love is the one thing that can overcome so many of the difficult times that we are faced with in life. Love is so powerful - it can turn frowns into smiles. It can help mend the most broken heart. It can even turn all of the ugliness in the world into the most beautiful portrait we could ever have the pleasure to behold. Love comes in...

...It seems ironic that both the oldest characters, Gloucester and Lear, who are blind either metaphorically or physically. They both exemplify that wisdom does not always come with old age. The parallel characters are very important to each other, Lear who is blinded metaphorically, and Gloucester who is physically blinded. Both characters undergo radical changes and their once sightless decisions become regrettable actions. They are unable to see people for who they truly are; thus their tragedy is the journey they must endure to regain sight. It is clear that although, Lear can physically see, he is blind, and lacks understanding, insight and pure intentions. It seems that the characters who had and kept their “healthy eyes” throughout the entire novel, could see both the evil and distorted world with which they live in. Ironically, while characters such as Gloucester, whose eyes were physically seized from him, and metaphorically Lear, both can now recognize their true selves. Blindness is not only a physical impairment for Gloucester and a forced lesson for King Lear ,but also a mental defect that some of the characters possess. They both share the inability to see the other characters true-selves ,and can only “see” the surface of things. Shakespeare uses Lear’s inability to see with his heart and Gloucester’s vulnerability to portray one of his themes, blindness. In the beginning of the play, Lear is seen to be a vain, conceited old man. He sees age as an opportunity to...

...Analysis of the impact of love and jealousy A separate peace is filled with both love and jealousy, but really analyzes a friendship between two people known as Gene and Finny. Jealousy can destroy one and others around them and if one let their jealousy turn into bitterness and hatred it can eat them alive and make them become a person that was never thought possible. Love can also make one person blind to other people's actions and make them very gullible. In the very beginning Gene reflects on his time at Devon. He describes Devon as a cage and reminisces about the times he had there. In one line he says, “Nothing endures, not a tree, not love, not even a death by violence” ( Knowles, 3). This quote shows the impact of how places or events can cause...
