It is an ascertained fact that an understanding of the national culture and local peculiarities of business environment “can give managers an advantage in competitive industries” (Deresky, 2003, p. 90). However, if managers ignore cultural aspects in building productive business relations with their foreign partners, such ignorance might turn into minor troubles and lack of understanding or even into a serious breach of business relations between companies or economic relations between countries on the whole. Therefore, in order to hold the meeting efficiently and with success and to help the foreign parties from different cultures get together and engage ...

The statue of David was made by three legendary sculptures, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Bernini. It is also evident that all the three artists were (chronologically) referred to be the greatest artists of the renaissance period.

Hence, the representation of David by all the three artists is intended to depict the heroic deed and character of David.

Abstract

A half century ago, the terrorism and extremist forms of thought were not prevalent in certain sectors of Middle Eastern society as they are today. Up to the years between 1968 through 1979, Middle Eastern countries remained relatively benign with no outstanding threats of violent political Islam (Bar 127). The rise of international Islamic terrorism was born in the fragmentation of society brought on by the departure of colonialism. Economies had by this time been fundamentally disrupted. In major urban centers, oil contracts (particularly in the GCC) gave rise to rapid scales of development. Government systems were restructured. The ...

Introduction

Currently quite a lot of scholars agree that terrorism constitutes a complex and complicated phenomenon that when one makes an attempt to construe its definition he is most likely to encounter a string of obstacles and implications on this academic and practical path. Today practitioners and scientists can fairly propose dozens and even hundreds of various definitions of terrorism, but they confuse other people and experts trying to perceive the main essence and nature of terrorism (Sorel, 2003; Ganor, 2002). Crafting a comprehensive definition of terrorism is of paramount significance to both science and practical settings of punishing those ...

Communication and the Global World

The most salient features of the American society are those relating to individualism and perception of various inequalities existing within the nation. Such attitudes undoubtedly come from the American Revolution of independence and liberty which facilitated the enactment of the relative constitutional rights and freedoms spelling out the pursuit of happiness as the main guaranty for all individuals residing in the country. Due to these observations, the United States holds a very high score on the individualism indicator and a relatively low position concerning the “power distance” (The Hofstede Centre, n.d.; Hofstede, 2011). According to Hofstede’s survey results, ...

The Book of Amos

Introduction The Book of Amos is part of the group of twelve Minor Prophets in the Old Testament. The twelve Minor Prophets were not less significant than the Major Prophets. Their expressions of prophecies were just shorter than the longer and more detailed prophecies of the Major Prophecies (Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel) (Keathley, III, 2016, n.p). One could call Amos a pastoral prophet, since he was not in the courts of the kings and of priestly lineage (such as Jeremiah).

In fact, doubt in authority can bring an ...

The city of Jerusalem’s history traces back to 5,000 years back, which its relevant across the religions; Christianity, Judaism and Muslim.

Evidently, Jerusalem serves as a holy symbol to almost three quarter of the world today (Masumder & Sanjoy 386). For Christians, apart from the significance of Jesus’s death and resurrection, there are more meanings and symbols to Jerusalem. Therefore, this paper will seek ...

The Sea of Galilee has a span of 148km2 and is 20m deep (Notley, 2009).

Lesson 5.1: The Historical Jesus

Jesus of Nazareth comes publicly as the Messiah and preaches on the Kingdom of God.

The Watergate scandals lasted between 1972 and 1974. The scandals included harassing and bugging offices of political opponents, and other illegal activities by people within President Nixon’s administration. President Nixon’s administration attempted to cover-up the scandals and tried to interfere with the FBI investigations about government’s involvement in the scandals.

Following the Watergate scandal, the American public henceforth became skeptical regarding the federal government. Consequently, an assertive congress campaign finance reform legislation and began to ...

ISIS is a Salafi group within Sunni Islam, which originally operated in areas inhabited by Sunnis (Stanford, par.14). More precisely, the creators of the Islamic State were Sunni Muslims, who primarily adhered to Hanbali, the most distinguished among the four existing schools of Islamic law in Sunni Islam, known for its rigor and discipline.
