In developing the film, the director attempts to record important events within the history of Korea and inform the viewer about the past and experiences of the people during the Second World War. The director depicts the efforts of the elderly Korean women as they attempt to overcome the physical pain as well as the society’s prejudice (Gateward 209). The victims, who are now elderly, actively lead normal lives and attempt to transform their relationship with the changing world. In doing this, the women find comfort in life despite the physical and psychological pain that they had endured during the incident. The director attempts to make the audience realize that the victims are the most dignified as well as comfortable women in the society, which makes one realize that there is a need to transform habitual sadness from pain to hope for a better life. Although there have been several Korean fictional films concerning Yang Gong-Ju, the number of narrative films about comfort women in the country have been scarce, yet it is an important topic in the history and society of Korea. One major reason for the scarcity of the narrative films on comfort women is the fear of filmmakers that exposes the experiences of women in comfort stations. In addition, filmmakers tend to develop fear that exposing the experiences of these women is likely to expose the shame and trigger public outcry, which may stigmatize women. This film seems to create an important platform for transforming the elderly women from victims to active participants in a study. The relationship between the women and the director provide a good method through which the audience discovers some hidden aspects of the Korean society. In fact, the director uses this platform to reveal the faces of the women, making it possible for the audience to believe the story. Habitual Sadness Film The director’s purpose in developing the film “habitual sadness” was to inform the audience as well as provide a documentation of the experiences of the elderly people, especially women, within the comfort centers (Gateward 209). It also provides evidence of the historical injustices that the elderly women endured during their captivity under the Japanese rule. The director also wanted to use the film as a platform for persuading other individuals with similar or related experiences to come forward and narrate their stories in order to develop a good understanding of the society’s history. Although the number of Korean fictional films depicting Yanggong-ju is several, only
B2B involves buying and selling transactions between businesses. One business buys a product from another business for the purpose of using it for developing its products or reselling it. This type of business does not involve consumers. The amount of goods the traders exchange in B2B transactions is, usually, larger than that in business-to-consumer transactions. A good example of a B2B transaction is a soda manufacturing company. Such a company requires bottles, bottle tops, flavors, food colors, water and sugar. Therefore, it will engage other companies that supply these products in order to end up with a fully bottled soda. It will also sell its finished products to many retail traders who will then sell the products to the consumers. Hence, the process of producing bottled sodas involves many B2B transactions and only one or sometimes no B2C transaction. B2B is different from B2C in several ways. The first difference between these two types of transactions is the nature of their customers. Many of the entities that buy the products in B2B businesses are established businesses and organizations. Therefore, decisions on whether to buy or not to buy certain products must come from committees that help in the running of the businesses. As a result, the buyers take long before agreeing to buy the products. On the contrary, B2C transactions involve individual consumers. Hence, there is no need for consulting anybody before buying whatever they want to buy. The second difference between B2B and B2C is the relationship between the buyers and the sellers. In B2B transactions, buyers, usually, develop long-lasting relationships with the sellers to avoid experimental buying since the products are very expensive. On the other hand, buyers in B2C transactions buy from anybody since the products they buy are not as expensive as those in B2B transactions. Lastly, the entire B2B process is more expensive compared to B2C. It involves samples, prototypes and close evaluations. Worse still, the products are very expensive. B2C transactions, on the other hand, do not involve many processes. The buyers simply approach sellers for the products without many questions. B2B Marketing Tools Brand Building Brand building is critical in B2B marketing. It helps convince the members of the committees that the products they intend to buy are appropriate for their needs. This process involves coming up with unique names, logos and slogans for marketing the products. The main purpose of developing these elements is making the products as distinct from other products as possible. Though most of the buyers of B2B products are loyal customers, manufacturers must make the products as different from other products as possible. They must also try as much as they can to capture and sustain the feelings of their customers. For example, branding can be very effective in marketing Coca-Cola. If I were to market this product, I would draw a shape of a “Coca-Cola-shaped” woman on the bottle and inscribe on it the words, “Just the right shape and taste”. These words would refer to the shape and content of the bottle. The figure of a woman on the bottle
William Shakespeare’s famous play entitled “Midsummer Night’s Dream” is a comedy narrating about the intervention of magic into the world of ordinary people and shows how human fates can be changed with love juice. Love juice is a potion that can be extracted from flowers growing in the woods; when applied to the person’s eyelids, it makes him or her fall in love with the first creature he/she sees. The kind of the fairy world, Oberon, discovers the juice and in an attempt to change his wife’s attitude towards him and prevent Hermia and Demetrius from conflict, he orders that the magic substance be used. After a series of mistakes and misunderstandings, all characters finally divide into stable couples and successfully celebrate their marriages. The present paper argues that the so-called love juice exists in the real-life: in particular, the effect of love, at first sight, the love madness created by celebrities wearing beautiful clothes, using make-up and fragrances as well as the influence of alcohol on human feelings can be compared to the action of the love potion. Love at first glance is often referred to as crush, as it is sometimes difficult to understand falling in love with the person without knowing them at all. It might happen to anybody in any place or setting, but it normally happens to young, dreamy, and romantic people. In Shakespeare’s play, Lysander, who never loved Helene, falls in love with her at the first sight after opening his eyes: “And run through fire I will for thy sweet sake./ Transparent Helena! Nature shows art/That through thy bosom makes me see thy heart./ Where is Demetrius? O, how fit a word/ Is that vile name to perish on my sword!” (Shakespeare, Act II, Scene II). Since Lysander has love juice on his eyelids, whereas Helena has not received such “gift” from Pucks, this feeling is not reciprocal: “Do not say so Lysander; say not so/ What though he love your Hermia? Lord, what though?/Yet Hermia still loves you: then be content” (Shakespeare, Scene II, Act II). However, love at first sight, similarly to the feelings, created by the love juice, are unconditional and thus cannot be rationally explained, as they might persist even after the lover is rejected by the object of love. In such cases, the person who has had a “crush”, instead of trying to find out more about the object of love, begins to plan feats and heroic actions in an attempt to win the positive disposition of the love lady or love gentleman, similarly to Lysander, who is searching for his sword to stab his lover Demetrius. Both love juice and love, at first sight, make the person “blind” and bring human consciousness to the level of myth, i.e. the lov
Introduction Nowadays, it is almost impossible to neglect the fact of connection existing between information technology (IT) and business. Academic sources aim at discussing this relation and defining the peculiarities and implications of ITs in a variety of terms: business, people, and technologies. A successful manager has to know how to unite a person and technology to create an effective working process. Due to the existing social network, the collaboration between individuals and technologies remains to be important. IT management may be defined as the process within the frames of which all possible IT resources are organized in regards to the organizational needs and priorities. The current paper aims at evaluating IT management in relation to the existing literature and academic references and elaborating the concept in terms of business implications such as opportunities, risks, and different models, human implications such as skills, roles, and organizational structure, and technological implications such as IT strategies, infrastructure, and architecture. IT Management, Its Essence, and Worth IT management has a considerable impact on a CIO’s performance and defines the quality of the work that has to be done (Chen & Wu 2011). Due to the current information revolution, entrepreneurs are able to produce services and good with a minimum of physical landscape impact and with a number of possibilities available around the whole world (Kelkar 2010). Various academic resources offer various definitions of IT management underlying one and the same functions – the necessity to organize the work of a company in a proper way and gain control over all processes (Wu, Yeniyurt, Kim & Cavusgil 2006). In fact, IT management may be defined as a sphere of business, a process, and even a discipline that involves all IT recourses to be managed accordingly to consider the needs and priorities set by a company. IT management shows the way of how organizations may compliment and promote the support for their multiple business operations. This is why every company strives to have a successfully organized IT department with a number of professional IT managers, who know how to analyze the current situation and offer the best options and alternatives to achieve the desirable professional/working goals (Holtsnider & Jaffe 2012). It is not enough for people to know that ITs do play a crucial role in their lives. It is more important to realize how to use special ITs and benefit from this type of usage. ITs open a new world of opportunities for people from different parts of the world involved in various spheres of life (Pearlson & Saunders 2012). Therefore, IT management turns out to be more and more important for consideration as it serves as a guide in the technological implication. The technology aims at facilitating the work performed by ordinary managers and the possible ways of how the interaction between the technological t
Introduction The First World War acted as a mighty accelerator of many historical processes. It contributed to the decline of the empires of the European powers while giving a tremendous boost to the influence of the united state of America; it led to the overthrow of Russian tsarism and the institution of the soviet union. The Russian revolution of 1917 later made a profound impact throughout the terrestrial globe. It marked the beginning of the transition from the old, exploiter society, to the new, socialist system. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was created according to a coherent ideology-Marxism-Leninism- whose claims are not only a scientific, global and progressive explanation of history but also a guide to its transformation. It has become widely accepted in the second and third worlds and to some extent in the first world. The revolution of 1917 was part of the organic evolution of Russian history which seeks to demonstrate that the modern and even the medieval periods of development weighed heavily upon the new society and prevented it from fully realizing the great hopes lay upon it. Communism Communism was a socioeconomic structure aimed at promoting the establishment of a classless, stateless society based on common ownership of the means of production. It was considered as a division of the broader socialist movement that draws on the various political and intellectual movements that traced their origins back to the work of theorists of the Industrial Revolution and the French Revolution. Communism attempted to offer an option to the problem of capitalist (Mirsky, 2001) Economies and the legacy of imperialism and nationalism- Communism aimed to establish a peaceful, free society without government and classes. The dominant forms of communism, are based on Marxism, Leninism-Marxism communism originated from the west and was designed in Germany and France and brought to Russia in the middle of the 19 th century which was supported by an educated class of people known as the intelligentsia. Lenin became a revolutionary agitator and a convinced Marxist in 1894. In 1898 a Russian social democratic party was formed which marked the origin of revolutionary in Russia. 1n 1903, the congress of the Russian Social-Democratic worker’s party convened in Brussels but due to interference of Belgian authority, it was forced to move to London. This congress led to the split of the party into Bolshevik which was led by Lenin and Mensheviks led by Trotsky who led the ultra-radical sentiment that could not reconcile itself to Lenin’s stress on the party organization who later joine
Executive Summary Henri Nestle started the Nestle Company over a century ago to provide healthy food to mothers who could not breastfeed their children. The company developed and expanded by way of mergers with other businesses that shared its vision. The founder, Henri Nestle used his name because it represented the ideals he worked for as a pharmacist. The logo also indicated the founder’s dream to feed people with healthy meals. Apart from offering condensed milk to the infants, it also diversified its products to include adults. It started providing milk powder, biscuits, sweets, pampers, chocolate and coffee. It is these products that enhanced its presence all over Switzerland, America, Europe, and Africa. Its presence in the Middle East brought about a product called Nescafe Arabiana, Arabic coffee. It was a result of three years of intensive research. The company wanted to launch a product that would be acceptable in the United Arab Emirates region. The brand grew to become the best product that has enabled Nestle to stamp its dominance in the area. It has used its name recognition to provide varieties of the same product. It has also introduced another range of products that are not a beverage category. The market for coffee started centuries even before Nestle ventured into the Middle East. The people used it as a gesture of warm welcome to their visitors. The small vendors of the product did not provide innovative standards in the field. Nestle saw the opportunity and used it to advance its brand in the region. Nestle Arabiana has improved its marketing strategies and uses them to develop in the volatile market. The company uses its immense resources to market its product and make significant sales. Nescafe Arabiana has over 80% market dominance. Therefore, it only needs to utilize its strategic positioning well to maintain its market. Introduction Nestle is today the world’s leading company in the provision of food and drinks. It has grown by leaps and bounds from its inception over a century ago. The company has hundreds of products. It is in over 130 countries. One of its core competencies is the desire to become innovative. Some products come in more than five varieties. Nestle Arabiana is the Arabian coffee is introduced to the Middle East. The UAE region has adapted to it, and it has become the best coffee product in the market. Its marketing strength deals with the principle of research and development. It has a market of over 80% and keeps on increasing. The market is growing
The main idea of the play Metamorphoses by Zimmerman is changing. That explains the title of the play, as “metamorphose” means to change the character or appearance of somebody or something. Metamorphoses , being based on Greek Mythology (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2002), is filled by examples of changing, and each story that Metamorphoses by Zimmerman includes, contains one or even more instances of various changes. So, Midas is a character, three laundresses were telling about, who became one of those, who underwent changes. King Midas was a very rich man, having a daughter, who he was regularly shunning for being very disruptive while his speech about his taking care of family. But due to his greediness, he was deprived of his kid. Being in chase of riches, he asked Bacchus, who wanted to grant Midas a wish for his great graciousness to Silenus, for an ability to turn everything, he touches into gold. After such changing, having got this ability, accidentally, Midas turned his own daughter into gold. And desired once changing of Midas to turn all he touches into gold, brought just disasters. Alcyone and Ceyx also exposed themselves to changing. The story about Alcyone and her husband Ceyx was told by those laundresses as well. This is a story of love and devotion dedicated to King Ceyx and his wife Alcyone. King Ceyx, in spite of his wife’s warnings, has decided to voyage into the sea for visiting an oracle. However, Poseidon wrecked a ship belonged to Ceyx and he was killed while the process of shipwreck. With the help of Aphrodite, who gave a hint to Alcyone by dreaming of Ceyx some changes happened. In this dream he told his wife to be at the shore and with gods’ mercy, these loving hearts were united again, however, turned into seabirds. The theme of
Abstract Cardiomyopathy is a dangerous condition that affects all age groups. However, aged patients are at a higher risk due to their weak cardiac muscles. The physiological changes in cardiomyopathy patients are influenced by the age group and gender. Older patients with weak cardiac muscles have advanced symptoms as compared to other cardiomyopathy patients. Diagnostic findings in cardiomyopathy are also affected by gender, culture, and age. This paper will evaluate the age and gender-related physiological changes in cardiomyopathy as witnessed in patients aged 65 years and above. Introduction Cardiomyopathy is a disease that affects the heart muscles. It is common in people of all age groups and causes arrhythmia. This affects the normal rhythmic beating of the heart and the supply of oxygen to different body tissues. A decline in the heart’s pumping power as a result of cardiomyopathy increases the chances of developing arrhythmia or heart failure. Patients that suffer from heart failure experience fluid accumulation in extracellular tissues within the leg, feet, and lungs (Story, 2012). Normal physiological changes in 65 and above age group with cardiomyopathy Older adults are more prone to developing restrictive cardiomyopathy as compared to other age categories. Patients aged 65 years and above experience abnormal physiological changes when suffering from cardiomyopathy. Rigidity and stiffening of the ventricles are common physiological changes witnessed in patients aged 65 years and above. In this situation, abnormal tissues such as scars are formed instead of the normal heart tissues (Fairweather & Blauwet, 2013). Lack of flexibility of the ventricles due to stiffening affects the ventricle’s role of pumping blood out of the heart to other parts of the body or lungs. Stiffened and scared ventricles cannot contract well and this limits the blood volume. The accumulation of blood causes the atria to enlarge and the valves to become further weaker. This increases their chances of developing arrhythmias (Story, 2012). Age-related diagnostic findings in cardiomyopathy In Kubo (2008), an examination of cardiomyopathy patients aged 65 to 83 years was conducted. Several lab tests, physical assessments, and radiology tests were undertaken on the patients. Left ventricular (LV) size assessment of the patients using echocardiography showed that patients aged 67 years and above have an enlarged LV. The LV ejection fraction was also measured using ventriculography. The level of β-blockers and type II angiotensin was also
The relationships between fathers and daughters are usually particular. This connection is greater when a father have to bring up a daughter himself. It is obvious that no matter how old a daughter is a father always considers her as a small girl who needs care and protection. The appearance of one more man near a lovely daughter is usually considered as the attempt to still the dearest person in the world, that is why many fathers are usually against their daughters’ relationships with other men no matter how good these men are. The denial is the first reaction fathers usually experience and their desire to check a man is understood. One of the main conditions according to which a daughter is going to be protected in the future is the strong assuredness that a daughter is in good and loving hands, protected like under the father’s care. Reading the play The Tempest by William Shakespeare, it becomes obvious that the same situation is happening among Prospero, Miranda and Ferdinand. Starting the discussion with Prospero and Miranda it should be mentioned that living on the island, Prospero understands how cruel the surrounding world may be. However, Miranda is really naïve and cannot distract the simple problem from the real disaster. Taking care for a daughter, Prospero is ready to create the fake problems and put the intentions of loving Ferdinand under question just to make sure that the man is ready to fight for his daughter and to win in this battle. At the very beginning of the play Prospero says the following to Miranda, I have done nothing but I care of thee, Of thee, my dear one, thee, my daughter, who Art ignorant of what thou art, nought knowing Of whence I am: nor that I am more better Than Prospero, master of a full poor cell, And thy no greater father (Shakespeare 7). This phrase directs the further relations between Prospero, Miranda and the men who surround her. Everything Miranda knows is the merit of her farther. Being educated, polite and well bread, Miranda is a great example of an ideal daughter and a wife. It seems that father is going to be glad when she meets a person with whom they are going to live together, however, everything is absolutely different. Trying to make sure that Miranda is going to be safe and protected, Prospero in interested in pleasing her at the island. Still, he could not predict the appearance of Ferdinand who spoiled all the dreams of the father. Each father wants their daughters to be happy, however, at the same time, many fathers are sur
