Neo-liberalism encourages economic liberalism, promoting the divide between the rich and the poor; it is active today, that is why it’s neo or new.

Peters and Bourdieu point out that The World Bank, the IMF, the WTO, the Asia Development Bank (ADB), the OEC, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the GATS have promoted neoliberal policies like privatisation, free trade, lowering labour costs and shrinking public expenditure (qtd. in Jiang 13). The neoliberal policies imposed by ...

The African diaspora has resulted in a wave of “migration” of Africans from the African continent to other parts of the world. The main reason for this is the slave dispersal that moved Africans from Africa to America, the Middle East and even to the Far East.

The Fate of Greenland's Vikings by Dale Mackenzie Brown.

In 1721, Hans Egede, a Norwegian missionary discovered that the Norse were no longer inhabiting the two settlements that they had established around 1000 A.D. Since then there has been many debates on the cause of their disappearance and decline. For long, the theories about their disappearance centered around the oral traditions of the Inuits. The Inuit tradition held that the demise of the Norse was due to the contact between the Inuit and the Norse which was often aggressive (Seaver 1996, 119). In recent years however, owing to expanding archaeological findings and other limited documentary evidence there have ...

Prior to and during the Second World War, Japanese Americans were seen as the enemy. This is of course due to the fact that Japan was the main antagonist of the United States in the Pacific war theater.

In most situations where a generation gap exists, the older generation always holds relatively more conservative opinions, while the younger generation is more accepting of their current worldview, and this evidently introduces conflict between the two generations (). The unique historical background of Taiwan notwithstanding, the country (region) has also had generation gap as one of the most challenging social problems after ...

The World-View in Narratives: Voyages of Columbus and Impact on Natives

The power granted to Christopher Columbus by the King of Spain for conquering the Native American settlements points to the victory of language.

Their text of the origins of the world is filled with words relating to Nature whereas the texts of Columbus are full of words relating to ‘commodities’ to be traded (Heath Anthology 125-127). There are clear references to ...

Cheung Yan’s firm’s dominance did not really start from nothing. It emerged from his idea of turning waste paper into high quality packaging materials. She knew that most, if not all, businesses that have a sales component in it have to rely on a stable supply of packaging materials in order to release the orders of their customers and that those firms have to look for cheaper packaging material alternatives in order to promote business profitability and sustainability. She capitalized on that idea. It can then be argued that her strategic management strategy is one that is ...

Abstract

The relations between next-door neighbors Japan and China go back past several millennia. Their cultures are similar, but certain events in history have marred these relationships. One contributing issue to the tensions between these two countries is the Nanking Massacre, which occurred in 1937 at the time when Japan was an emerging military power. It sought to increase its own sphere of influence while occupying territories. It also sought to have access to the rich natural resources of the northeastern section of China and even of the whole of China. The atrocities committed by Japanese soldiers during the Nanking ...
