Executive Summary This paper focuses on carrying out a new product development of Ford Motors in the UAE market. In so doing the paper will consider several issues, such as the strength of the product idea, USP, SWOT analysis, PESTEL analysis, and marketing strategy. It will also concentrate on constructing a pricing strategy, promotional strategy, financial plan for developing this new product, and on many other related issues. Methodology The purpose of this methodology is to provide a clear idea about the research approach, primary data, and secondary data. Research Design To organize this report, the author has considered the theoretical approach of Malhotra, as this process is perfect while in-depth market estimation is crucial to assess the UAE market. However, the researcher will concentrate both on quantitative and qualitative but he gave more focus on qualitative data, as SWOT, PESTEL, Porter five forces, marketing strategy, and other external factors would be based on qualitative data. Primary Research Approach Saunders, Thornhill, and Lewis (102) and Yin (78) expressed that primary data need to originate to serve a specific purpose, such as, concentrate on the research problem or way out to remove these issues. However, this report will collect primary data to know the UAE market environment, customer choice, behavior, and prospect of this product. This information is important to develop a new product of Ford in the UAE market; so, the researcher will prepare a questionnaire by addressing relevant factors. However, the author will also consider 50 customers to collect primary data to assess the prospect of environmentally friendly Ford products to UAE customers. Also, the author will use Microsoft Excel to originate charts from the response of the selected 50 customers. Secondary data Zikmund (98) and Sekaran (45) pointed out that secondary data are more useful and reliable since these data have already been processed by renowned researchers. Malhotra (112) further added that these sources have also already been approved by supervisors, universities, or general readers. As a result, the qualitative data will assist the author to recognize the strategic dilemma easily and solution to solve these problems. Also, the researcher will use secondary data to organize most of the parts of this report excluding the market survey. However, the author will consider management books, reports of yahoo finance, country profile, annual report of Ford, and other internet sources to prepare a marketing plan for a new product of Ford in the UAE market. Strength of Concept Strength of the Product Idea Ford Motors will be introducing a new product in the UAE market that the company distinguishes to be one of the most innovative products in its car-making history. This new car model has fully equipped with the latest technology integration causing a groundbreaking success for Ford’s R&D department. This new Ford model, known as “F-shammoTo” possesses several distinct qualities and features
Introduction The Dead Sea scrolls were discovered for the first time in 1947 when a boy from Bedouin searching for his goat found the first scroll wrapped with a goat skin in a ceramic urn inside a cave near the Dead Sea. This caused a lot of excitement in the scholarly world when it was announced that this was a replica of the book of Isaiah which had stayed for more than2000 years since it was written. Latter in 1950s, kirbet Qumran, was excavated by Father Roland who was a priest and also an archaeologist. Roland established that between 175 B.C and 70 A.D there used to live men around this place who were Essences but very little was known about these men. Even today those scrolls still exist and compiled together on goat’s kin, copper and papyrus but only about half of these scrolls have been translated. The scrolls comprise of all books in the Hebrew bible with exception of Esther although there are many books which were not included in the scripture of that book. The contents of the scrolls are important because they prove the accuracy with which the scribes were copying the scriptures and also that there has not been changes in the Hebrews bible from the time it was compiled. These scrolls provide a clear understanding of customs and believe which Palestinians had in past showing that contrary to what was initially thought, div
Introduction Destination management is the process or ways through which governments or industrial players conserve and improve tourist attractions. This includes not only tourist’s sites but also events. Industrial players include Destination Management companies popularly abbreviated as DMC. Destination Management Companies are companies that possess vast local knowledge, proficiency and resources. They specialize in planning and implementation of tours, events, transport logistics and tour programmes logistics. DMC offers various services based on their local knowledge of the destination. The services offered ranges from excursions, gala nights, conference venues, accommodation, transportation and logistics. As purchasing consortia, these companies are able to provide better rates. It is important to note DMCs offer only use of the already available products at a destination as they do not on it (Jonsson, 2008). Destination marketing refers to the proactive and strategic approach to the financial and cultural progress of a location. It also refers to a visitor-centred approach that balances and cooperate interests of tourists (visitors), service providers, and the local community. Destination marketing is important and has given rise to Destination Marketing Organisations. The purpose of these organizations is to promote the region and increase the visitor’s number (Richardson& Crompton, 1988). The organizations also promote development and implement marketing strategies. Through their activities, these organizations or companies help in economic development of a region by increasing the number of visitors. In their regions, they act as the most valuable tool of marketing as they are directly responsible for the regions marketing. The role of marketing has not been left only on these companies and organizations, but governments are key players in this through the various institutions they create and fund (Katrin, 2005). This paper will discuss destination marketing and destination management. It will discuss on ways of marketing and the continuing need for improvements. Tourism destination marketing has now become a major component in destination marketing. In accordance to marketing articles, some researchers recognize destination marketing as strategically market-oriented and therefore a strategic advancement in placing development rather than an advertisement on fore front (Katrin, 2005).

The idea of nationalism surfaced during the 1789 French Revolution. This period saw the dawn of the earliest nation-state. France took advantage of its state and nation correspondence, although, other countries had not made any use of the same. France used nationalism to unite the state against its enemies, and this showed the morality of nationalism. Conversely, Germany used nationalism to unite and disintegrate the state, at the same time. It sought to unite its single states while not asserting its supremacy over other states, directly. Germany tried to declare its authority over other states only once after it became self-aware. However, Germany faced resistance from other European nations. Therefore, Germany showed both “good” and “bad” sides of nationalism, or functional basis of nationalism (Kramer 24). T his paper evaluates nationalism and its 19th-century history on a moral and functional basis. The paper first describes the nature and history of nationalism. Next, it shows nationalism from a functional and moral basis using Germany and France as the two case studies. Nature and History of Nationalism Nationalism, as mentioned earlier, emerged during the 19th century after French Revolution. Other factors that contributed to the rise of nationalism, in this period included economic reasons, literacy and class divisions. Some scholars classify nationalism into “good” and “bad” nationalism. However, nationalism cannot be termed as “good” or “bad” just like capitalism, imperialism, and socialism (Urban 5). Scholars who support good nationalism limit it to the meaning that nationalists try to create, or uphold their own country and that the figure of nationalists can correspond to the countries that exist (Urban 5). The fact that nationalists can correspondent to the figure of existing countries influenced Europe during the 19th century, and led to disagreements over boundaries, or foreign masters. Conversely, “bad” nationalism created a negative name for nationalism since actors like Milosevic and Adolf Hitler had undesirable traits. This fo
Introduction In this paper, I am going to present a discussion about why citizens must vote. I chose this topic because it has been found out that a significant number of people do not vote in elections. However, each and every citizen need to determine which kind of leadership his or her country is supposed to have. Every vote counts and that is why all citizens need to participate in any election. The paper is going to explore the reasons why citizens must vote. Moreover, I am also going to put into consideration the reasons why some citizens do not vote. The paper will end with a conclusion in which a summary of the discussion is going to be presented. Citizens must vote The citizens of any particular nation serve as a “source of power in democracy” (“Voting Required” 44). Among the most significant ways through which the citizens of a nation can exercise the power they have is through voting (“Voting Required” 44). Voting helps the citizens to be in a position to engage in expressing their views and pass over a message to the government about what they really want (“Why should young citizens vote?” 1). Moreover, through voting, citizens are able to ask for change (Brennan 4). In a country where there is true democracy, each and every citizen ought to have a right to vote and all votes cast by the citizens must have the same weight (“Why should young citizens vote?” 1). In the United States of America and also in a large number of other democracies, voting is considered as a right and responsibility of each and every citizen (Brettschneider 12). However, many of these democracies experience lower rates of voter participation. For instance, in the U.S, the voter participation is below sixty percent. But on the other hand, the voter participation in a country like Australia is more than ninety percent. However, before putting in place a law that encouraged voter participation in Australia, the percentage of voters that took part in an election in this country was below fifty percent (Brennan 11). Having a high voter turnout is of great significance as it helps to keep “small, w
Introduction Historically, humans have used other animal entities for testing potential foods and medicine in order to gain insight on what may be appropriate for them. The Early man tested herbs by allowing his domesticated animals to eat them to find out whether the herbs were poisonous or not. He also allowed his domesticated animals such as dogs to drink water from streams before he drank incase the waters were contaminated or poisonous. Progress towards the modern day in vivo testing or animal testing traces its origin to this practice by the Early man. Throughout man’s existence, the path towards progress has wrought the need for testing of various elements concerned with humanity’s existence on other non-human animals, and the results subsequently used to gauge the suitability of the tested substance on humans. Medical researches on animals, animal testing, animal experimentation or in-vivo testing involve the use of live and living animals for medical experiments whose results are used for man’s beneficial purposes. Many pharmaceutical firms, laboratories, farms, universities, medical schools and research centers breed animals of different species within their premises for experimentation purposes. Sometimes the animals used are captured from the wild and tested in the laboratories or customized environments depending on the purpose of a given experiment. Modern day animal testing occurs in the fields of biomedicine, psychiatry and genetics. There are scientists and organizations that are against animal testing arguing that, such tests in the medical field render progress retrogressive. Such criticism is based on the notion that most results on animals cannot be extrapolated to humans; thus, such research is not only time wasting and misleading, but also unnecessarily cruel on animals, and should be outlawed. However, much of the bio-medical, behavioral medicine, and medical genetics breakthroughs of the past century have been achieved due to animal testing/experimentation, and as such animal experimentation in medicine is beneficial and critical for human well being and progress. Animal experimentation and bio-medical progress Many of vaccines for various diseases, which previously led to the deaths of a large number of people in societies, in the past, were developed after first being tried on animals to test their efficacy. Presently, researchers all over the world are busy trying to develop vaccines for contemporary diseases such as Hepatitis, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) such as HIV/AIDs and even cancer (Levinson and Reiss 12). These vaccines and other possible cures, true to humanity’s predisposition, will first be tested on animals such as rats and guinea pigs. Vaccines developed in the past for diseases such as small pox, tetanus, polio and other such diseases, which caused the deaths and deformation of children in the past centuries, were developed after being rigorously tested on animals. Indeed, not only are these animal testing experiments necessary, but also highly critical for the
Introduction Black Boy is an autobiographical work by Richard Wright. The author examines his life from childhood to the times when he joined Communist Party, his adult years in Chicago. The work concerns such issues as race in the South. It was first published in 1945 clearly reflecting the streams and atmosphere of those years. This essay will reveal the motif of one close read paragraph by Richard Wright from Black Boy , the language, and the way he conveyed the following idea – Richard has been a real inventor, thirsty for new experience leader, and willing for education since childhood. Focus on a Motif The black boy, living in poverty since his very childhood and suffering from race discrimination ever since Afro-Americans began to rebel, Richard was a person thirsty for knowledge. He loved learning new information and senses. As a child, he was a marvelous inventor as is stated further in the close read paragraph. Richard speculated: “ I lived on what I did not eat ”, literally showing that reading replaces the need for food or any other physical necessity. Showing a hard life path throughout the entire work, Richard forces the reader to read between the lines of the following paragraph and understand that the protagonist was doomed to be a survivor since he was very young, this entailed his further resolute character. Black Boy’s Close Read Paragraph A paragraph under consideration starts with ‘I wandered listlessly about the room…’ and ends “My brother shook his head”. This is one of those parts where the author exercises his ability t
The relations between parents and children, fathers and sons in particular, deserve much attention: they are always so different and similar at the same time. This time, I am going to analyze three movies by different directors, which made a wonderful attempt to introduce their own visions concerning the relations between fathers and sons in different situation and during different periods of time. The Bicycle Thief, I’m not Scared, and Life Is Beautiful – all these movies have one theme in common, dad and son’s relations. The situations and backgrounds, presented in all these movies help to comprehend and describe the obligations, which dads have to their sons: some dads want to protect their sons, other dads think that their duty is to demonstrate all the realities of this life, and sometimes, dads just want to present all the truth. Anyway, the most important thing concerning any dad is the ability to support children and be the best father for them. In Bicycle Thief, the father decides to find out who stole his new bicycle and offers his son to help. In this poor family, the purchase of the bicycle was a really significant event, because certain family things had to be sold. So, this theft should be discovered. The father and the son start their investigation and observe all the realities of this life: its poverty, its inequality, and its misunderstandings. To my mind, such choice, made by the father is not that proper. Of course, it is important to help the child learn this world and be ready to anything, however, it is also significant to provide a child with some kind of childhood, careless and kind. In this movie, the end is not very positive: the father chooses a wrong way and steals another bicycle. He is caught, and his son sees how his father may be punished. It is not the best way to teach the son to comprehend this life. To my mind, if I were the father in this situation, I just would not take my son to investigate that theft or, at least, did not demonstrate such a wrong example to steal something that was not your own property. The relations between a father and a son, described in I’m not Scared are not successful as well. These relations turn out to be politically incorrect, this is why it is very hard for me to sympathize them. This ambivalence, no trust, and desire to demonstrate power from dad’s side – all this is not a good example of how the relations should look like. The problems of the son and the desire to help and listen to his father’s orders make a child choose a wrong way; and, as a result, he is accidentally shot by his own father. The son wants to take dad’s responsibilities and help other people; the mistake, made by the dad is certain prohibition to help Filippo. To my mind, the father should help to examine the situation, in this case, the consequences would not b
Introduction What impact does mass media have on children’s growth in regards to gender messaging? The media portrayals of gender roles often create certain gendered attitudes and character traits among children. Gender stereotyping, packaged as humor, is common in popular children’s channels, films, video games, and television shows. The young viewers watch and internalize overt attitudes and behavior contained in media messages resulting in ingrained gender stereotypes. Certain misconceptions, such as ‘boys will always be boys’ and ‘girls are always neat, conveyed through the media have a big influence on young children’s attitudes and behavior. Besides overt expressions, young children receive a barrage of subtle messages that portray the society’s gendered attitudes and expectations. The media are responsible for “defining and framing gender stereotypes in the society” (Whitaker & Bushman, 2013, p. 89). Children process gender messages in the media and develop attitudes about what is right or wrong. This paper argues that media exposure has negative impacts on children’s gender socialization and attitude formation. Media messages convey skewed expectations of male and female behavior and role, which unrealistic gender stereotypes and identities. Comparison of Media The 1980s are characterized by the evolution of personal computers, which became available in schools and homes (Lou et al., 2012). Computers were revolutionary in the sense that they enabled children to access more media content and interact online. The interactive element was missing in traditional media forms such as television. In addition, the advent of computers transformed media content as messages begun to contain sexual and gender elements. In the 1990s, media channels, such as kid’s films, video games, and television shows begun to convey sexual content and gendered messages. Parents protested against the inclusion of sexual themes in children’s programs claiming that such exposure was detrimental to their social growth. As a result, it was decided that all films, cartoons, music videos, and TV shows be rated to regulate the content conveyed to young audiences (Lou et al., 2012). However, due to flawed enforcement of the rating systems, children continue to access sexual messages. In addition,
Introduction The article by Ray and Coulter reports a qualitative study of pre-service teachers’ perception of the efficacy of assorted digital mini-games as promising educational tools. This paper reviews the study’s research process examines the ethical considerations relevant to the study and gives an overall critique of the article. The Research Process This section evaluates the six steps of the research process as used in Ray and Coulter’s study. The Research Problem – The article’s title is a concise snapshot of the research problem. The first paragraph begins with a good ‘narrative hook’ that tells the reader the potential educational value of digital mini-games. It discusses the characteristics of digital mini-games that make them attractive learning tools. It asserts that there are deficiencies in research to support the use of games to promote the educational outcomes of middle school students. To determine whether digital games are effective learning tools, research is required to connect their effectiveness with academic outcomes. This research problem is not easily identifiable. It requires an exploration of the perceptions of teachers, who play a role in the integration of the technology into the classroom, to determine how the games support learning. The authors note that other researchers have associated digital games and simulations to student motivation and enriched learning experiences. The study’s target audience includes teachers and instructional leaders. The aspects of the research problem in this article are consistent with the qualitative research process. Literature Review – A literature review is given in the first sections of the article. The authors use a theoretical framework to organize the literature around three thematic areas, namely, historical usage of technology, student motivation, and participation. The article reviews relevant studies to lay the ground for the current research. In this regard, the article’s literature review approach is consistent with the qualitative research process. The authors conclude the literature review by justifying the need for the current study to expand on the existing idea, namely, the use of digital games in learning leads to better academic outcomes. The Research Purpose – The exploratory study aims to explore whether the use of digital mini-games in a middle school classroom promotes student learning. The purpose statement is not clearly stated. The research questions are open-ended and general, which is a hallmark of an exploratory study. The central question is descriptive; it seeks to explore whether educators believe that digital games enhance student learning in middle school. The sub-questions begin with the word ‘what’, which is a hallmark of a qualitative research question. Additionally, the questions include the central phenomenon, which en
