Transnational Communities and the Evolution of Global Production Networks: The Cases of Taiwan, China, and India
No full textWrestling with Japanese Tribalism Emerging Collaborative Opportunities For India and Japan
No full textJapanese firms, with their strong technology base and high domestic factor costs, have the potential of teaming with India, with its more basic infrastructure and eight times the population. Japan's poorly-performing excess capital could fuel India's strongly-developing middle class and robust entrepreneurialism. Especially promising are collaborative information technology projects. What stands in the way of a greatly expanded relationship? Much of the blockage stems from Japan's insularism, an impetus here labeled tribalism. A hopeful dimension is that this tribalism can be clearly defined as archaic, recognized as detrimental, and then toned-down. Further points for development include an active campaign to encourage diversity in Japan, teaming up to provide alternatives to investment in neighboring China, and agitating for representation on the UN Security Council. India can help initiate all these processes, and can in turn benefit from a Japan reaching out for regional economic partnerships.homogeneity; tribalism; UN Security Council; partnership; immigration; trade; e-Japan strategy

project the author looks at different methods of cremation and how those methods
are viewed in different areas of society. She was intrigued with the idea of
cremation as it is becoming a more and more popular form of memorial and
because people are coming up with creative things to do with a person’s
cremains. The different methods that she examined are incorporating cremains into
reef-balls, turning them into diamonds, incorporating them in tattoos, sky
burials, living urns, glass marbles, putting cremains in shotgun shells, turning
cremains into vinyl records, turning cremains into fireworks, and shooting
cremains into space. The author also looks at how people are starting to
normalize different memorialization practices in use today. </p
Telling Tales as Oral Performance: A Cross-Cultural Comparison of Storytelling in Ireland, Scotland and Southern Appalachia
No full textI sought to link, through this paper, cultural performances of identity through storytelling in Ireland, Scotland, and southern Appalachia. I evaluated storytelling practices, whether it was a public or private performance, using symbolic interactionism, dramatist theory, narrative paradigm, and performance theory. The author studied abroad in Ireland and Scotland through the East Tennessee State University Appalachian, Scottish, and Irish Studies Program and experienced an array of stories. She then evaluated her own experiences with storytelling from growing up in southern Appalachia and visited the International Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, TN. The research is rooted in grounded theory from ethnographies, with themes emerging from the field notes. The themes reinforced the theories evaluated tied the cultures together through history
Messianic kingdom: Figurative language and themes in the book of Psalms
No full textAbstract onlyThis study is a content analysis of Figurative Language and Themes in the Book of Psalms. Specifically, it identified the following: figurative language in the Book of Psalms and their meanings; commonly used figures of speech and the chapter which has the most number of figures of speech; author, who has the most written chapters in Psalms; and common themes existing in the Book of Psalms. The theory of figurative speech and hermeneutics were used to analyze the Book of Psalms. It was found out that the commonly used figure of speech in the Book of Psalms is metonymy to give emphasis to a verse which is substituted for another noun. David is the author who has the most written chapters in Psalms for he was a poet in that era. Torah and Messiah, Lament and Praise, Faith and Hope are the themes of the Book of Psalms. Figurative language was used to emphasize a point or to create a picture in the mind of the recipient. The Book of Psalms teaches everyone not to ignore the pain of one’s life, but at the same time to take the biblical faith and look to the promise of God’s future Messianic Kingdom. It is recommended to the next researchers to use a summative content analysis from the Bible, to have a deeper study on the Word of God in order to feed the spiritual aspect of life, study with passion, choose a book which would help them grow spiritually and realize the impact of learning figurative language which can be connected in real world.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Arts major in Englis
Life, love, and death in Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones
No full textAbstract only.This study is a content analysis entitled Life, Love and Death in Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones. The Lovely Bones was published in 2002 by Little, Brown publishers. The novel was analyzed based on the characters, the plot and conflicts, and the general truths present in the novel. Based on the findings the characters demonstrated that they are real human beings with real problems, but with individual solutions. The story also presents the possibility of an afterlife and what people can do while in it. The characters are undergoing what people who have experienced a death of a loved one felt: pain, grief, regret, inner turmoil. The study also shows that people have different ways of reacting and responding to the different events in the story. The Humanistic Approach of Carl Rogers and Abram Maslow, and other psychologists were the theoretical basis of the study and it was found out that themes of life, love, and death all include acceptance. It has been recommended that the future researchers should also broaden the methodology in the analysis of the given novel and other works by the same author, so as to enrich the discussion.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Arts major in Englis
