The accuracy of the second language use has for long been a center of focus among many societies. The societies placed high expectations on people on how they should use the second language in communication. Adherence to the rules was something one had to observe without any compromise (Chang, 2009). However, things took a new direction when Hymes came up with the idea of communicative competence in 1970s. In this policy, the knowledge of the speaker on the linguistic rules and the socio-cultural rules of speaking that apply to the second language was equally regarded. This was a time when the trends ...

Self-Strengtheners did not realize that western military strength arose from political and economic structures and therefore needed to improve western technology and science in Qing empire. Due to such ignorance of the self-strengtheners, the reforms had various strengths and weaknesses. China needed a technological advancement when it ...

Items "made in China" generate income elsewhere

The United States is an exporter of more services than it imports to China and it is clear that it is a net exporter of the services. On the other hand, as the products find their way back to the US market, they are considered as imports. It implies that US imports more goods from china than China imports from US. The trade deficit is hence widened by the fact that more commodities leave china entering US. In this regard, China is a net exporter in comparison to the trade between the two countries. The tradeoff leaves US with a greater magnitude ...

The public administration process of any nation determines its ability to win a contract or become a donor to a needy nation. China, for example, has a public administration system that favors most operations in Africa, which makes it win most contracts in the region.

A stereotype may refer to a thought that is adopted about a type of persons or a manner of working out things. This belief however, in most cases, may not reflect accurately what the reality in practice is. What is considered a stereotype in one area may not necessarily be considered a stereotype in another area. It is therefore important to note that different people have different stereotypes about different things at different moments. They may arise due to different reasons, such as a history of some repetitive events and occurrences. Normally, stereotypes reflect the expectations and beliefs about the behaviors and the characteristics of ...

Mariya Omelicheva stated that the government in Kazakhstan has ‘securitized’ political discourse. The “securitization” drive by the government is highly relevant to the situation in Xinjiang. With more localized forms of Islam and “individualization of Islam” in Kazakhstan, different forms of Islam co-exist. However, the government recognizes only a few and curbs any practices of Islam that it does not identify with. This leads to serious falsification of Islamic groups in the province, just as it did for the Uyghurs of the Xinjiang province under the Han government.
The Xinjiang province was initially inhabited by Uyghurs, an Islamic group, ...

Civil order control relates to responding, supervising, and controlling crowds or groups of people that may cause a breach of peace or upset calm in the society (Dammer and Albanese, 2010).

These disturbances are invariably caused by public outrage and are mainly directed at the government. Stevens (2008) argues that the rigorousness of such disturbances depends on the intensity of the outrage (p. 337). Civil order control may also relate to environmental and natural disasters.

A dramatic change can be witnessed in recent times in the Asian region, more specifically in China and India, two of the major global economic power houses.

The media has started to influence the growing population in both China and India, which are also known for their amazingly fast population growth rate; China is ranked #1 and India is ranked #2 in total population count. This gives rise to an entirely new conundrum for marketers; since ...

1. Who am I?
The question looks so easy, but I was confused how to answer it. Who am I? I remember my classmate said ‘I am who I am’. I think the answer is very interesting and reasonable.
We all think we know ourselves very well; however, I believe that is not exactly true. We always represent someone else, someone different than us. Imagine that you are a salesman at a shopping mall. Can you really be yourself at work? I think the answer is no, because you have to be the person who makes the customers happy. ...

Effects of credit crunch/ensuing recession on political economy decisions

The 2007-2010 economic crisis is perhaps the worst economic disaster to hit the globe since the Great Depression of the early 1930s. The crisis spread instantaneously across the globe triggering deep recessions in developed and developing economies (Hudson, and Maioli, 2010). Assets were devalued, financial markets became turbulent, unemployment levels rose, and access to credit became limited during the crisis. The onset of the financial crisis marked the end of the highest growth cycle experienced from 2003-mid-2008. The causes of the crisis can be attributed to surpluses in the current account of China and other oil-based economies, which provided ...

Information is a very important thing for human beings because they rely on information to make right decisions in whatever situations they face. Mass media provides a convenient mode of spreading information very fast.

In such a case, people would wait to hear from messengers and travelers in order to know whatever is happening in Hollywood, Iraq or Parliament Hill in Ottawa. With the development in technology and mass media, an individual can access any kind of information ...

China’s defeat in the hands of foreign powers through the Opium Wars proved that neither Chinese technology nor political system was as good as those of the foreign countries (Schell & Delury, 2013). This made China to rely on the technology of outsiders that gradually weakened the Chinese economy. Thus China began to compromise on its own tradition and indigenous knowledge. In fact, China was blessed with vast human capital and traditional wisdom; sadly, the dynastic rulers could not make effective use of them.
