Abstract This paper discusses the concept of epiphanies, that everything old is made new again and that the world has been changed forever by some new insight and how it is a creed of most world religions including Christianity. It examines how the descriptions of life in a gorilla family given by Dian Fossey in her book "Gorillas in the Mist" provide the kind of moments that are best described as epiphanous because they help us connect in a very detailed and precise way our own lives with those individuals of another species. It evaluates the moments that make it such an epiphanous tale such as the detail that Bonne Annee was attracted on her walks with her human companions to the graveyard where the gorilla victims of poachers were buried.
From the Paper "One of the most affecting scenes in this chapter is the description of Bonne Annee, who was captured in the wild and then confiscated from the poachers who had taken her from her family. After rehabilitation, she was reintroduced the wild, only to be rejected by the first group she was introduced to (Group 5) because the kinship and social relationship ties in that group were too close to permit a stranger to be introduced. After recovering from the wounds inflicted on her by members of Group 5, she was introduced into a more heterogeneous group and so finally began to live life among her own kind."
Abstract This paper examines global business. It involves preparing an executive for a trip to Milan, Italy, Bonn, Germany and Istanbul, Turkey. It includes advice on how to structure her communication (verbal and nonverbal) to be effective and culturally sensitive.
Abstract Through an analysis of the status of the Kyoto Protocol and the efforts that were made to revive it, this paper argues that it is doubtful that any of the Rio, Johannesburg, or the Bonn Summits will have the capacity to do so, considering that, in the final analysis, there are no mechanisms for the application of international environmental treaties.
From the Paper "Global warming which is scientifically argued to be induced by certain gasses referred to as "greenhouse gasses," is of major environmental concern. Its impact upon the environment is incalculable with its being sufficient to say that it will definitely change almost all aspects of it. It is clear that man cannot afford the destruction of the environment or its dramatic change as his life is sustained by its life, health and very existence. In acknowledgment of this, a global decision was made to fight global warming. As Maurice F. Strong argues in a Journal of International Affairs article, this may have been interpreted as a positive step in the right direction insofar as it implied awareness that environmental issues were, by definition, global in nature and, consequently, required a global solution. Thus, officials from 150 nations met in Kyoto, Japan, to figure out a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A treaty was agreed on called the Kyoto Protocol, in which the industrial nations pledged to lower their emissions by 2012."
