This paper uses two sources, "The Story of Noriko" and "Golden Arches East" to examine how the younger generations from Japan and China, standing between the traditional identity and the new identity, are reacting to new cultures and mindsets.
Abstract This paper demonstrates that the young generation from Japan and China has a mindset that is not quite similar to their parents? and traditional society's expectations, which often cause a great deal of conflicts between the young and the old. The author shows that in "The Story of Noriko" the traditional Japanese society is known to frown on the increase in the number of women pursuing a significant career goal, rather than minimal tasking individual, because the conservative and relatively older generations believe that women, especially young women, are not qualified to manage the responsibilities and tasks men perform. The author uses the book, "Golden Arches East: McDonald's in East Asia" to describe how the life style of Chinese customers, especially the younger generations, have changed as McDonald's has entered the local Chinese society. The author concludes that, when a new lifestyle or culture develops, the young generation creates a hybrid culture to accommodate living in the 21st Century and traditional China or Japan.
From the Paper "In "The Story of Noriko", Noriko is a young woman who resides in Tokyo who is forced to encounter one of her dramatic real crisis. She is looking for a career where she can actually utilize her potentials instead of being just another Office Lady whose task is minimal and enduring without any chance of obtaining a significant position at a corporation. The traditional Japanese society is known to frown up on the increase in the number of women pursuing a significant career goal rather than minimal tasking individual, because the conservative and relatively old generations of the society believe that women, especially young women, are not qualified to manage the responsibilities and tasks men perform."
Abstract This paper reviews William Shakespeare's play "King Lear" with an emphasis on the storm which is featured primarily in Act III. It examines how the storm operates on several levels both integral to the plot and purely metaphorical or aesthetic. It looks at how it serves as an icon of the treachery and ruthlessness of Lear's disloyal daughters and how the pounding rain and thunder is clearly representative of his confusion, anger and increasing madness. It evaluates how it could be a sign of divine disapproval for Lear's abdication of a God-assigned position as earthly ruler since without the storm, Lear would never have met Edgar, nor would Kent run into the gentleman whom he sends to Dover to inform Cordelia of the alliance between Albany and Cornwall.
From the Paper "After giving up his land to them, Lear is at the mercy of Goneril and Regan, who, despite their professed love of the king, conspire to take all of his power away. Goneril perpetually finds faults in the king, uttering ridicules like: ?Here do you keep a hundred knights and squires, men so disordered, so debauched and bold, that this our court, infected with their manners, shows like a riotous inn,? (Lr. 1.4.248-51). After this, Lear makes a plethora of particularly damning statements, including: ?Into her womb convey sterility. Dry up in her the organs of increase, and from her derogate body never spring a babe to honor her. "
Abstract This paper analyzes a case study called "The Safety Memo" in which a man tries to report a number of safety problems in a company and is intimidated by a manager who claims that the worker is being disloyal for pointing out these problems. The study suggests ways for the employee to protect himself and the writer notes how wrong it is for the company not to do something about the manager in question. The writer also points out the real threat being posed to the company by the policies the manager is promoting.
From the Paper "The problem at the Cable Company is described in terms of Gordon Baldwin, but the problem is actually that of the Cable Company itself. The company may believe it is saving itself from an expense and that it is protecting itself from the actions of an employee fully aware of the safety issues involved, but in truth the company is setting itself up for major problems in the future, including lawsuits, government action, and labor trouble. This analysis assumes that the behavior of the General Manager, Gil, is known to the company and is part of an effort to discourage dissent and safety complaints from employees. The actions Gordon has taken were understood and encouraged by his immediate superiors, and he has done nothing except send a memo to make management aware of the potential for safety problems for the company."
