There are other factors to consider, such as, a weak and unstable government institution. Corruption can actually bypass these irregularities and possibly create growth in an economy. Studies show that there is no actual link between corruption and economic growth in “free” countries. In fact, low levels of corruption in free countries can be beneficial in economic growth. However, high levels of corruption can damage economic growth no matter the type of government institution or not. Effects of Corruption on Economic Growth If you ask citizens today, a great majority would probably...

...found that patchworking could also form family like bonds between people that are not related. When the Vietnamese first arrived in the United States they were amazed at the amount of economic freedom that was in the United States compared to Vietnam. They were especially amazed in the ability to engage in business activities freely something that they could not do in Communist Vietnam. Among the amazement was a sense of worry. In Vietnam a person could earn enough for everyone. “Here, people need more; everyone needs to get a TV, a car, a house. Here I work very hard and very long, and still I’m not sure, do I have enough money? Because there’s always something more I have to buy” (Kibria 74). In a sense when they were in Vietnam they had to worry about the communist, after escaping they now have to worry about money. Vietnamese Americans view on economic life in United States was uneasy. On one hand they liked the freedom and the justness of the economic life in the United Sates. On the other hand they did not like the fact that they were stopped in their efforts to succeeded economically. They liked the economic freedoms that were given to them, but hated the discrimination. They say that life in the United States is better in Vietnam because...

...only the growth of economy but the improvement for tourism, hospitality and events as well. I would like to share some of my personal experiences of Australian culture since I first came to Sydney for studying advanced diploma 3 years ago. As a Vietnamese student, when I come to Sydney, this multi culture country is totally different from Vietnam. I have been living there for about 3 years, I realize that Australian people also known as Aussies are very friendly, polite and they are speaking English as their first language. The first thing I was shocked is the fact that some teenagers use 2 fingers to make “V” symbol with their tongue but it is not like “Victory” like in Vietnam or United States, it is a really bad meaning in sexual way. In Vietnam, when someone invites you to go out for dining, it means they will pay for you all or men pay for women. But in Sydney, people just pay for their own food or drink. It is a very independent way since they are educated to be like that at very early age. In Thanks Giving, Christmas or New Year public holidays, Aussies celebrate warm parties at home with a lot of food and beverage but in Vietnam, people tend to go...
