Three countries will be analysed in this assignment, they are Australia, which is a More Developed Country, Ethiopia, which is a Less Developed Country, and China, which is a Newly Industrialised Country. These countries will be analysed in five different parts and an explanation will be provided for each of these indicators. More then three sources have been used to find this information and some of it may be inaccurate.
Human developed Indicators rank: Australia: 5 Ethiopia: 168 China: 96 by http://hdr.undp.org shows that countries have already been put into appropriate terms on the countries development.

As the three countries show, these indicators prove that in Ethiopia and China that there is rapid growth especially in the Chinese embassy where the GDP is 1.2 Trillion. However, this GDP is not evenly distributed in China as Australia is. For $368.6 b and the distribution of $19,770 shows the advantages of a more ‘evenly’ distributed income flow in Australia. Also, it shows that Ethiopia shares more of its GDP as it only makes about $6.4b of it and $100 is a more even amount then the 1.2 Trillion for $890 each. Also, as can be seen, the countries creation of GDP varies greatly, in Australia, its GDP is more evenly Read the rest of this entry »

History has always depicted ‘his story’ the story of great male figures. ‘Her story’ has been regarded as the exception. Simone de Beauvoir summed up this distinction “The superiority of the male is indeed overwhelming: Perseus, Hercules, David, Achiles, Launcelot, the French warriors, Du Geslin and Bayard, Napoleon – so many man for one Joan of Arc” .
The reality for many women leaders is that they often have to perform twice as well as men to be accepted as equals. At the same time, society expectations and maternal instincts require them to shoulder equivalent responsibilities at home as well. Compared to their male counterparts who have always been stereotyped as the gender who leads, the woman’s path to power has been onerous. The eternal balancing act women must perform between the domestic sphere and their public sphere has been largely unseen and unappreciated. Hence this paper dubbed them the chameleon fighter and the barrier breakers – for the many different roles they play, the barriers they overcome and their perseverance in bringing about excellence in their respective fields.
People have been accustomed to recognizing as leaders only those who hold formal or positional posts on an organizational grid. However leaders can come in many different forms. They are a special breed of people who are willing to spend countless hours in pursuing issues, projects sustained by this vision they believe in and which in one way or another have an impact on the lives of people around them. Woman leaders can either be the President of a country, a democracy fighter, an advocate or even our mothers. This paper wishes to recognize the woman leaders in Asia who have overcome socioeconomic, racial and national boundaries to be where they are today
Whats so remarkable about these women?
In Asia, most countries remain pre-dominantly patriarchal. Women are relegated to culturally defined ‘domestic roles’ The percentage of women holding local government seats in the Asia-Pacific ranges from 2 to 33 percent, says a study commissioned by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for the Asia-Pacific.
Women political leaders in Asia have mostly rose to power in times of crisis and inherited their family power usually a father or a husband ( e.g Corazon Aquino, Violeta Chamorro, Indira Ghandi, Isabel Peron). Compared to women political leaders in the west such as Margaret Thatcher and Golda Meir, very few women in Asia rose to power without the help of connections from powerful families.

The painter William Hogarth satirized many of the social follies of the eighteenth century which in these two painting depicts alcoholism, and the pros of choosing beer over gin. In the first painting Gin Lane Hogarth depicts therampant alcoholism that plagued the city. While in the other companion painting Beer Street Hogarth illustrates a bustling metropolis that is that not only doingwell as far as economics but also in literacy and the arts. In the two companion paintings Gin Lane and Beer Street Hogart clearly conveys his views of how gincan lead to the destruction of a society and how beer can lead to the construction of society.
In looking at these two painting the first object that strikes the eye Read the rest of this entry »
The Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA) sparks much controversy about whether developing countries will suffer more than they will gain. South American business and individuals are now transferring hundreds of billions of dollars of economic resources to North America each year in terms of trade losses, debt servicing and profit outflows. In the South, multinationals are seen as routinely bribing politicians to gain a competitive edge over local rivals via changes to protective legislation, while imposing added costs through the requirements that cash strapped, high interest borrowers in the local economy to follow expensive developed nation standards in environmental stewardship. (responsibilities -action—activity-protections)
It is important however for all sides to understand and agree to the primary aspect (attitude-feeling-necessity) that the FTAA has its Read the rest of this entry »
Credit has been around for ages and is a part of my everyday live. I suppose the reason I buy on credit varies, but without it most of us would probably never be able to purchase necessities such as a home or automobile. “The nation’s economy depends on credit, the promise to pay later for goods and services used today.” Along with consumer credit comes consumer debt. With the rise in telemarketing and commercializing here in Canada it is no wonder why I as consumer feel the impulse to buy now, pay later.
I was given a credit card when I was 18 years old and wanted it to establish myself in order to have a Read the rest of this entry »
