Abstract
The paper discusses how Indira Gandhi was one of the leading figures of the post-World War II period and constituted, in the views of many, the salvation that India was in search of during the late 1960s poverty years. The paper shows how the conflict between the government led by Indira Gandhi and the separatist movement militating for independence in Punjab can explain the Prime Minister's assassination and the subsequent developments. The paper concludes that political leaders and those entrusted with the power to decide in the name of a population should take more into consideration the well being of those they represent and leave aside personal interests which so often drive political acts.
From the Paper
"Although her political career was based on heavy-handed tactics which at times generated mistakes, her appeal towards the less privileged masses of people entrusted them with the sense of the democratic process and established, despite numerous conflicts, the bases for strengthening the belief in a representative government, a national identity and in the power to resist all secessionist movements. It is this latter objective that ultimately demanded of her the ultimate sacrifice. On 31 October, 1984, "two of her bodyguards assassinated Indira Gandhi in the garden of her home. She was shot in the chest and abdomen, receiving 16 bullet wounds at close range.""

From the Paper
"In order to put the significance of the consideration of Japanese economics into perspective, consider for a moment the fact that Japan is the second world economic superpower, behind the United States (Witter, 1997). Keeping that in mind, there are several key economic indicators that show a true storm brewing within the Japanese economy due to the debt of the Japanese government; for example, current figures show that the debt of the Japanese government outweighs their GPD (Gross Domestic Product) by an obscenely high 170%, the Japanese National Bank is insolvent, and there is a glut of outstanding JGBs (Japanese Government Bonds (Posen, 2000). While all of these statistics are staggering, there are some very informative models and theories that illustrate this problem in greater depth; the best of these models and theories will now be presented and discussed in an effort to add another dimension to this research and provide a complete understanding of not only the topic, but also its significance to everyone in the developed world and beyond."

Japan's Immigration Policy, 2006.
This paper evaluates the effectiveness of Japan's current immigration policy.
1,950 words (approx. 7.8 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the Japanese people, who are among the most nationalistic people of all, try hard to preserve their ethnic homogeneity, ensuring that the population of Japan remains dominated by the Japanese and that foreign nationals are a very small percentage of the population. The author evaluates Japan's immigration policies by focusing on its labor markets, rights protection, societal identities and border security. The paper concludes that globalization of Japan's industries causes an increasing demand for skilled workers;
however, currently, Japan's immigration policy is not open enough to welcome foreign workers and businesses as compared to the policies of
Singapore and Hong Kong, which leaves Japan behind in terms of economic globalization. The paper includes several quotations.

The Effects of Japan's Immigration Policies
From the Paper
"In terms of maximum period of stay for foreign workers, Japan currently grants a maximum of only three years; surprisingly too short for a worker who wants to establish a good future; and surprisingly too short as compared again to other more developed countries. In terms of the employment status of foreign workers, on the other hand, considering the claim of Japan on their strict policy on limiting, or even preventing, foreign unskilled workers, it is surprising that "entertainers" and "trainees" coming from neighboring Asian countries are categorized under skilled workers."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Taiwan is rather small sized country, however it is densely populated. Its 23 million inhabitants are concentrated on 36,000 square kilometers. "Often called the "Taiwan Miracle", in 1980s and 1990s, the country's economy grew at a rate of 7.64%. Health status of the people in Taiwan, as measured by the common indicators, is close to those of developed countries: life expectancy at birth is of 74.9 years and the infant mortality rate is 6.5 per 1000 live births. These comparable health outcomes with developed countries are achieved with only modest spending in health care, 6.0% of the Gross Domestic Product in 1998.""

From the Paper
"The fact that trade liberalization is a catalyst for economic growth and development is well known. Trade liberalization is even more important to the growth of developing economies where small businesses frequently account for 80% or more of employment and virtually all job growth (Asel, 2003). China operates at the margins of the economy exploiting opportunities overlooked by incumbents, and has innovated to develop promising, but untested markets and flexibly managing scarce resources in an uncertain, often unforgiving environment (Asel, 2003)."

Abstract
This paper emphasizes that the style of China's national theater called the Beijing opera is importance to its culture. The author points out that the use of male actors to portray female characters and females portraying male actors are truly ancient in China, although the practice did not become primarily exclusive until the early 19th century. The paper relates that, although Beijing opera has been heavily influenced by royal prerogative in the past and the desires of the Chinese people more recently, the reverse gender playing the role in traditional Chinese drama has no restriction on the sex and age of its performers.

Background and Overview.
Historic Influences on the Use of Male Actors for Female Roles in Beijing Opera
Contemporary Influences on the Use of Male Actors for Female Roles in Beijing Opera
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Likewise, the distinctive Beijing opera walking styles of the dan (female roles) and sheng are clearly recognizable in other traditional forms, just as are the stylized hand and eye movements of the huadan. Although some localized forms of theater have not include certain role types (the jing being the role type most frequently excluded), the walk, posture, and gestures techniques used for every other role type traditionally included in each form and can be recognized by modern Chinese audiences without fail as belonging to that role type throughout the various forms of traditional Chinese theater."

Abstract
The paper explains that although the three Chinese philosophies do not comprise the overall doctrine of the Chinese government at present, their concepts and ideas still form part of the present Chinese culture and society. The paper discusses the beliefs of Confucianism, Taoism and Legalism. The paper maintains that of these three ideologies/philosophies - which at times are considered religions - Confucianism could well be the best replacement for the defunct U.S. Constitution. The paper describes how it will bring a spirit of harmony and cooperation amongst U.S. citizens and its guiding principles on how we deal with our fellowmen can cultivate respect not only for others, but for ourselves too.
From the Paper
"Confucianism, funded by Confucius or Kung-Fu-Tzu - meaning "Master Kung" - "is a code of conduct to live this life, and it has had a tremendous impact on how the Chinese live their lives... with a great influence in Chinese government, education, and attitudes toward correct personal behavior and the individual duties to society (Dominguez, 2006)" Although at times, one could look at Confucianism as a derivative of Taoism the basic beliefs and practice of this philosophy are..."

Abstract
This paper looks into the parallels between actor training in the Peking and Beijing Opera and the training for Chinese martial arts. The paper consults historical and present day material in an attempt to make meaning of the training requirements for these two different, yet very closely related, artistic expressions of form, method, technique, and performance. The paper discovers that much more is involved than simply repetitious physical training and indeed that without the alignment of mind and body, the performer simply will not and cannot realize true mastery or excellence of performance.

Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Physical training for these performers is "structured around repetition" (Wright, 2000) and "over the course of the workshop a range of key movement patterns were developed and refined in this way." According to Wright: "The movements would be demonstrated, the actors would copy movements and then repeat them..." over and over, and then over again. Wright relates that "Further movements and combinations of movements and developments upon movements would then be introduced. Repetition was used, not simply to get the movement right, the repetition of physical action is regarded in the Peking/Beijing Opera, according to Sussman, as a way of absorbing information. She states that there is a deliberate attempt, in this training, not to engage the actor in thought. The actor needs only to 'learn' the action in order to repeat it. Hence, the principal form of learning is the learning of the body. The body learns, then contains the information that comprises the style and the role and therefore the performance. It is the body that enters most fully into the research. And as the body learns, the body changes as a result of that learning. " (Wright 2000)"

The Resurgence of the Taliban, 2006.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that one of the reasons for the Taliban's gain in power is that each territory in Afghanistan has its own warlord leader with little cohesion between them. The author points out that many experts believe the Taliban (1) are being trained in terrorist tactics by Iraqi war veterans with whom they have strong ties and (2) have discovered weapons caches of unused weapons left over from previous encounters, particularly shoulder-based rockets. The paper concludes that, if Afghanistan is ever to fully recover from the Taliban regime, it must not only eradicate the remaining Taliban supporters but also must develop a stronger, more democratic and fair government with social policies that ease unemployment and poverty.
From the Paper
"When the Taliban was defeated in 2001, most people thought the troubles in Afghanistan were over. Estimates put Taliban holdouts at less than 1,000, and their organization leadership seemed weak and incompetent. However, the Taliban has grown in force and organization throughout 2005, and there have been many more attacks on foreigners and people who speak out against the Taliban. For example, suicide bombing is becoming an increasingly popular mode of Taliban attack, and they stop at nothing to get their point across."

From the Paper
"In 1944 Albert Einstein said, "Generations to come, it may be, will scarcely believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon earth." He was talking about Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi's real name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. His followers called him Mahatma (or Great Soul) as though it were his first name. In India he is also Father of the Nation (Wikipedia, 2006). Because Gandhi was such a complex person, it is difficult to try to capture who he really was."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses what link, if any, exists between student learning anxiety and native versus non-native teachers in the EFL / ESL classroom environment. The study identifies key issues surrounding this question in an attempt to identify what factors contribute to Taiwanese students' increases in language learning anxiety. Further, it investigates these issues with the intention of fleshing out valuable knowledge for future research and educational advancement. The writer concludes that this comparison of language learning anxiety between students of native and non-native ESL teachers in Taiwan intends to seek out what problems exist in the current system. The writer points out that by identifying and examining such problems, administrators can make educated decisions in the recruiting of foreign or native teachers to their ESL / EFL programs.

From the Paper
"Taiwan is experiencing an increase in English learners. As a result, a higher number of English language teachers are necessary. To meet this need, many foreign teachers specializing in ESL / EFL have flocked to Taiwan to teach classrooms full of English learners. For a variety of reasons, most of these English learners experience an Americanized version of English language training. Lou and Chism relay this Americanized English learning with the inability of young Taiwanese students to make associations between their own culture and experiences and English. This Americanized learning is in part due to the use of American written and published EFL textbooks. Yet, in classrooms where English is taught by a foreign ESL / EFL teacher, it is difficult to know whether the textbooks or the foreign teachers create difficulty in establishing successful language connections."

Abstract
This paper reviews the precepts and philosophies put forward by those interpreting Theravada Buddhism and discusses why it has become the popular form of Buddhism practiced by Westerners. It then compares Theravada Buddhism with Zen and Mahayana Buddhism (and Shin Buddhism, a form of Mahayana), discussing how they relate differently to the precepts of Buddhism.
From the Paper
"And in fact, monks in America in Theravadan communities now do shake hands with women, and there is innovation and change on the way, Numrich writes. And in some cases, monks are married and living normal lives, because as Numrich points out on page 151, monasticism "is irrelevant to the practice of Buddhism" in America.
"The fact of normal family life for monks is certainly a good reason for Americans practicing Buddhism to heartily relate to the faith, in particular, given the widespread sexual molestation scandals that have rocked the Roman Catholic Church in America over the past few years. If celibacy appears to create carnal desires that result in little boys being sexually abused by clerics, then certainly a more normal life for monks would seem to be advisable, as Theravada Buddhism takes hold in the West."

Life History of Eileen Liu
Eileen's Point of View
From the Paper
"As a mother and working woman, Eileen does not currently appear to have specifically high goals or ambitions. Basically she has obtained most of her youthful ambitions: a college degree, a job that pays well, material comforts such as a car and a house, and a family life with her husband and children. At the moment her focus is very much on her family and home life, and I get the feeling that her professional ambitions suffer a bit as a result. When her children grow up, however, she should be able to cultivate a more ambitious professional life. Right now the greatest of her ambitions seem to be on providing her children with all the material comforts and educational opportunities that money makes possible. Eileen herself substantiates this with her assertion that she is a typical mother with high expectations of her children. This is reminiscent of her original culture - the elders expect children to do their bidding and meet their expectations. Furthermore, Eileen does not feel that stress is a bad thing for children. In fact, this element helps them to always finish things on time. In this way, she applies her own lessons of childhood to raising her own children. She has achieved the level of professionalism and family in her life, because there were certain pressures upon her. Eileen therefore feels that a fair amount of such pressure on her own children would inspire them and help them to become self-disciplined, as she had been."

However, with the increase in New Zealand's number of participants in the labour market, issues regarding the immigration policies have surfaced. Among the problems that trigger issues on immigration policy are the apparent rate of unemployment among the nation's locals as well as the unemployment of some migrants."

Abstract
This paper looks into the culture and societies of the country of Nepal. It analyzes the country's cultural and social environment, attempting to lead to an understanding of its basic characteristics, such as geography, demographics and the socio-economic and political structures that it is comprised of. The paper focuses briefly on communication in Nepal and the Nepali language.
From the Paper
"However, within the Nepalese culture, some groups are also trying to dismantle the discrimination that is the caste system. In a recent study by Liechty (2005), the majority middle class individuals in Nepalese society are gradually trying to re-identify themselves based on their role and productivity in the society, rather than being identified as a member of a particular class or caste. This protest supports the notion of low power distance, in which the only superiority-inferiority dichotomy exists between individuals who provide/produce or do not provide/produce significantly for the society. Thus, one's worth is assessed based on his/her use to the society, not on the tradition of the caste system (i.e., those who were born Brahmin should remain Brahmin despite his/her insignificant contribution to the improvement of Nepalese society)."

Business Decisions, 2007.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper considers cultural differences in the Japanese and Western styles of business decision-making and addresses the issue of whether it is useful to integrate such widely differing paradigms. The paper explains the Japanese system of business decision-making known as Ringi, which means decision-making by consensus. The paper contrasts this to the United States' pioneering spirit and individualistic emphasis which is the basis of American business decision-making. The paper contends that both the Western and Ringi decision-making systems have advantages. The paper precision and detail-oriented approach of the Ringi system could be integrated by Western companies in order to avoid making rash and potentially costly mistakes and by partnering with the West, Japanese companies could profit from a paradigm of innovation.
From the Paper
"The Japanese system of business decision-making is known as Ringi, which means decision-making by consensus (Ala & Cordeiro, 1999). This system is based upon the evolution of Japanese culture. The evolution of the Japanese household serves as a model and basis for this business practice. Traditionally, all the decision-making power lay with the head of the household. This autocratic system was also used for business practices. However, with the increasing complexity of Japanese businesses, delegation and sub-management became increasingly important. The welfare of the group began to be seen as taking precedence over the concerns of the individual."

Abstract
This paper discusses how due to the many political, economic and military problems facing China at the moment, China poses no real threat of displacing the United States as the world's greatest power. The paper then goes on to discuss the opinion of some, that disagrees with the idea that China is no threat.
From the Paper
"Of even more concern than the Chinese economy or their political systems could be the "three nation debate." China has a "one China" mentality that the United States and its citizens have no difficulty in understanding, but they also empathize with the citizens of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Tibet who protest against such a policy as being part of mainland China. Most important to the United States is to probably support each of these areas economically but not militarily.
This policy does lend itself to questioning in regards to Taiwan, since the US has already stated that it would do more than support that country economically if China were to attack there. So far, that situation has not reared its ugly head, and improved communications between China and the US should keep it from doing so. "
