Discuss three ways that the primary demand for blades can increase in Indonesia The first way according to which demand blades can grow is the impact of Western shaving practices. Considering that in Indonesia, blade shaving was developed insufficiently until the recent decades, it is possible to anticipate that with the extremely expanding globalization, Indonesians would change their perceptions of grooming practices. At this point, college students and graduates would serve as the key trendsetters. In effect, the primary demand for blades would increase repeatedly. The second way refers to the offered effectiveness of shaving. This means that once customers would receive the effective blades, the primary demand would be raised. In particular, such options as decreased shaving time, the closeness of shave, and the prevention of cuts are rather essential for the target audience. Furthermore, the possibility to reuse the same blade with the unchanged excellent effectiveness would also attract more customers from Indonesia. In other words, the appearance of innovative blades is likely to create additional demand for them and promote the complete substitute of the traditional knife by the razor blade. The third way can be identified as the growing role of communication. The mentioned way is likely to boost up the desire of the population to improve its image that, in its turn, would promote the feeling of self-confidence and make people look better. At this point, both men are women may be affected by various advertisings in case the latter are properly-organized and presented with consideration of the local market peculiarities, including its cultural, social, political, and economic factors. For instance, TV, radio, print advertising, and, most importantly, the Internet media may attract customers. 2. Would it be a good idea for Gillette to apply value-based pricing in Indonesia? If yes, explain in detail why (at least 2 reasons) and if not also elaborate in detail why you oppose (at least two reasons). In the context of Indonesia, value-based pricing seems to be rather advantageous compared to the opposite cost-plus pricing. The strategy of value-based pricing establishes price characteristics, focusing on the benefits the product brings to customers. The first argument that supports the mentioned option is that this way of pricing is pertinent to companies that offer unique products highly valued by the target audience. In the case of Gillette, it supplies a relatively new form of shaving as Indonesians tended to use the knife instead of the razor blade. With the expansion of Gillette on this market, the local customers received an opportunity to try something exceptional and useful. Therefore, it is important to employ value-based pricing to embrace more people and maintain the innovative culture of s
The video “Indoor air pollution: The silent killer” discusses the detrimental impact of indoor air pollution in rural Indian households on people’s health (NDTV, 2015). The data presented in the video file reveals horrifying facts about the participation of household pollution in global pollution rates. According to NDTV (2015), household air pollution is accountable for as much as 12% of all air pollution. In rural India, where people cook on old-fashioned stoves that produce a great amount of carbon emission, household air pollution has reached a dramatically high point. 87% of rural households and 26% of urban ones cook on stoves that use biodegradable but highly polluting fuels such as coal and wood (NDTV, 2015). This material is very low in energy efficiency and high pollution level. According to data provided by the School of public health at the University of California, Berkley, the PM 10 level in rural households in India is 13 times higher than the national air quality standards allow (NDTV, 2015). What is even more dangerous is that household air pollution is accountable for 21% of global black carbon emissions. There are several reasons why people do not use modern stoves. First of all, the majority of people cannot afford them. Another reason is the unavailability of mechanics in case of an emergency. Thirdly, most people still do not know how to use modernizes versions of stoves and, as a result, they continue using the old ones (NDTV, 2015). However, some people switch to solar cookers. They say that whereas these cookers are expensive, their price is compensated by benefits. A solar cooker allows cooking indoors when the weather is bad, and it takes four times less wood. Still, specialists remark that while such stoves reduce air pollution, they do not eliminate dangerous health impacts (NDTV, 2015). In the country where over a million children under the age of five die every year from household pollution, it is crucial to implement some radical changes. When talking about air pollution, people rarely think of indoor pollution. However, this type of contamination is rather dangerous, and everyone should know about it as well as the ways of eliminating it. Our houses may be impacted by such pollutants as trichloroethylene, xylene, formaldehyde, ammonia, and benzene (“Nasa guide,” 2016). Trichloroethylene is found in paints, adhesives, and inks, and it causes nausea and dizziness. Ammonia is abundant in fertilizers and window cleaners, and it leads to eye irritation and sore throat. Xylene is found in tobac
The given article discussion will primarily focus on the topic of intellectual property in regards to blockchain instruments. The use of blockchain is becoming increasingly common in a wide range of areas of intellectual property, which include intellectual property confirmation, intellectual property transactions, intellectual property protection, and intellectual property incentive mechanism (Wang et al., 2019). Blockchain can be highly useful in making intellectual property, especially digital ones, protected and transferred without fear of replication since the value can be lost. For example, non-fungible tokens or NFTs are prime illustrations of a digital intellectual property being encrypted by a blockchain mechanism, and thus, such digital products or works can hold value and be protected as well as transferred. Although it is intuitive that blockchain can be highly useful in regards to content and entertainment, the applications are also significant in the academic field, such as concept discussion, specific application, or architecture design (Wang et al., 2019). A business owner will find blockchain highly useful and relevant as a key to intellectual property protection since the majority of current products and services have some form of a digital element, such as online brand, logo, marketing strategies, or even innovative concepts.

People in Japan do not want to have contacts for various reasons. For instance, the impact of economic stagnation, the effects of the tsunami, and the radioactive crisis influenced people’s minds. They were collapsed and seemed to lose the essence in love and marriage. Japanese men became less ambitious concerning career, while women preferred to be independent. However, Japanese women face trouble at work, even being married. Employers do not take women on serious vacancies because they consider that females can be pregnant. It is more likely for Japanese women to be fired from their jobs after their firstborn births. Japanese males claim their insufficient wages, which constraint them from dating and marriage. Similarly, young people do not want to have sexual relations because of different reasons, including sexual contempt. This disbalance between people’s interests led to an inability to build strong conventional families. It is worth mentioning that social structures strongly criticize cohabitation and parenthood outside of marriage. Women, particularly mothers, suffered all effects of natural and economic disasters very severely. As recent studies have shown, the victims of natural collapses tend to be damaged by preterm birth, harsh stress during and after the pregnancy (Suzuki et al., 2016). Concerning children, they have been born with underweight problems or have never been born (Suzuki et al., 2016). This fact certainly affects Japan’s population, and many sources even suspect the Japanese nation in extinction. Women might become extremely vulnerable to external factors, which may provoke an unwillingness to give birth to children. It can be another reason why Japan’s population is decreasing rapidly. Besides, Japanese people are becoming obsessed with technologies and watching 2D cartoons called anime. As Japan is considered a traditional and law-abiding country, porn movies are strictly banned by the government’s policies. Instead, people created a whole universe of pictured movies, which often demonstrate explicit scenes and behavior. Anime is one of the most explosive media sources, and it still elevates its popularity among Japanese inhabitants. People watch and discuss anime, and it can probably cause a loss of interest in real life. It is feasible to suggest that anime fantasies become a replacement for relationships. Moreover, anime promotes the issue of “hikikomori,” which means a person’s choice to stay isolated and not to participate in different social activities (Kato et al., 2018). It can be the major reason people independently refuse to attempt creating real-life relations, as modern media culture influences them. Concerning Aristophanes, an Ancient Greek comic playwright, it is feasible to suggest that he was not rebelling against sexuality and naughtiness. On the contrary, translators of his plays tried to conceal explicit contents and non-standard discourse (Robson, 2016). Th
Introduction Concussion is a form of a traumatic brain injury that is considered to be of a mild form. Traumatic brain injuries are forms of sudden injuries on the head that penetrates and cause damage to the brain. This paper seeks to discuss concussions and physical activities. The paper will look into the origin of concussions, their symptoms and treatment, physical aspects as well as its psychological aspects. History of Concussions Concussion is an element of traumatic brain injury and has been in existence for a long time. Reference to traumatic brain injury is made to periods of as early as the nineteenth century. Brain injuries have been identified and medical measures developed to help people who incur such injuries. Knowledge about traumatic brain injury has been in development since the nineteenth century when there were increased cases of injuries that were associated with the brain. Measures such as pathophysiology have been developed and were being offered to those who suffered from such injuries. Developments of antiseptics that penetrated into the brain were the only available remedy for such injuries (David et al. 1). Causes of concussion Injuries caused to the brain occur following a violent impact that “causes the brain to collide with the inside of the skull” (Traumatic 1) which results in disruptions in the operations of the brain (Traumatic 1). Major identified causes of concussion include accidents, falls and sports activities that involve violent physical impacts among players such as football, rugby among others (Traumatic 1). Another cause of traumatic brain injury is the motor vehicle accidents. Motor vehicle accidents result in sudden motions and impacts that can cause brain injuries. During an accident, a person’s head can be “stricken, suddenly jerked, or penetrated by a foreign object” (Brain 1). If such effects pass to the brain, then a traumatic brain injury may occur. The injury may be mild or severe depending on the degree of fatality of the accident. Mild injuries may be temporary with inflicted short time unconsciousness while a severe traumatic brain injury causes prolonged and more extreme effects to the injured person. Motor vehicle accidents cause a significantly large percent of total traumatic brain injuries recorded. A research conducted by Atlanta Nation Center for injury prevention and control conducted in the year 2006 indicated that at least twenty percent of the recorded traumatic brain injuries were due to motor vehicle accidents. In the research, over a million cases of traumatic injuries were realized to have been reported in America out of which almost three hundred thousand were caused by motor vehicle accidents. Brain injuries encountered in these accidents constituted the most severe category of traumatic brain injuries. This can be attributed to the fact that most of these accidents lead to high level impacts that exert a lot of physical pressure on the skull and thus the brain (Brain 1). The effect of the motor vehicle accidents that leads to traumatic brain injuries result
Introduction The suppression and control of full surface combustible tanks fire demands more commitments in terms of equipment, resources and human logistics. In fact, given the intensity of the experienced losses, fire safety industrial units have considerably enhanced the techniques used to successfully extinguish and control fires faced in the outsized inflammable storage tanks. These techniques are persistently updated since the major fires and explosions which might cause earthquakes, lightning, demises or injuries arise from inapt safety practices adopted when flammable or combustible liquids are being handled. Thus, the drastic measures assumed while using, handling and storing flammable chemicals or liquids necessitate suitable actions which might guarantee the protection of individuals from any kind of explosion or fire. Applicable terms used Given the nature of the subject being handled, it becomes imperative to highlight and shade light on different phrases that relate to the topic. First, the liquid vapor pressure as a term tends to designate the force that vapor exerts when chemicals or liquids are sealed in a vessel. Second, according to Shelley et al., the liquid boiling point (BP) tends to define the measurable temperature where both the atmospheric pressure of a liquid and its saturated vapor pressure are equal (p.63). Finally,
Methodology and Data Collection This chapter presents a brief overview of the methodology and data collection to achieve the research objective of the analysis of fiscal policy of China. Methodology The general belief of business research is often thought of as collecting data, constructing questionnaires and analysing data. However, it also includes identifying the problem and the ways of solving it (Ghauri et al., 1995). This study uses a quantitative study. Quantitative method is a research method, which depends less on subjective methods but is more focused on the collection and analysis of numerical data (Adler& Adler, 1987; Lofland &Lofland, 1984). Quantitative research involves analysis of numerical data. According to Burns and Grove, Quantitative research is: “a formal, objective, systematic process in which numerical data are utilized to obtain information about the research question” (Burns and Grove cited by Cormack 1991 p 140) Quantitative research uses the methods, which are designed to ensure objectivity and reliability. Under quantitative approach, the person doing the research stands external to the study. Irrespective of the person doing the research, the findings are bound to be the same. The strength of the quantitative method is that, it produces quantifiable and reliable data. Trochim (2001; 2005) defines, that ‘some methods are more quantitative (like surveys, automated counting), and other methods are more qualitative (like in-depth interviews and group discussions)’. On the other hand, ‘there can be qualitative surveys – using mostly open-ended questions’ and quantitative group discussions by using the consensus group technique. This study adopts a longitudinal study. The benefit of a longitudinal study is that researchers are able t
In the future, the classroom will change greatly, reflecting social and technological changes penetrated our society. In the future, a great layer of information and varieties of technology will be available, so the classroom of the future is a virtual classroom: e-classroom and e-learning (Nelson et al. 2006). In contrast to the modern education system, where the Internet is used as a supportive context for extending student inquiries, in the future, the Internet and Intranets will be used as a core of education and learning. Wireless, seamless networking of devices as disparate as mobile phones, PCs, personal organizers, and televisions will be the norm, and the expectation will be that this works well and that it happens as if by magic. Access will be everywhere; at home, in the workplace, on holiday, in both public (public sites will vary from Internet cafes to public libraries) and private (home access, subscriber clubs) (Sanchez 2007). It will be as ‘natural’ for students to access information as it is for us to access electricity. In a virtual classroom, there will be multiple levels of possible collaboration. The primary focus will be on helping students in the same classroom become a community of learners, a team of inquirers who listen carefully to each other, challenge, and encourage–in short, who learn together. This type of interaction, and the kind of dialogue that characterizes it, does not spontaneously occur among students over the network (Classroom of the Future, 2006). In fact, it does not spontaneously occur in the classroom either but requires active involvement by the teacher. E-books and e-textbooks, re-writing books, and e-tests will be part of the classroom and education. The students will be graded automatically according to their participation and learning progress. These techniques will help teachers to coordinate, direct and guide the efforts of students toward the achievement of learning goals and objectives (Nelson et al. 2006). Some critics describe the school of the future as ‘chairless school’ complete with “standing” desks and a host of sophisticated of learning technologies” (Classroom of the Future, 2
The White House sought to establish a National Cybersecurity Commission that would be composed of security experts from both the public and private commission. This commission would be mandated to lead the way in investigating, detecting and offering recommendations regarding all forms of possible attacks. The commission was also supposed to foster and discover better and more viable solutions. In addition, the Cybersecurity commission would be expected to modernize government IT according to the proposals of the White House. Another approach of the White House was to educate American citizens to be more careful when using their online accounts (Eastton & Taylor, 2011). The White House also recommended additional investment into the Cybersecurity kitty. In regards to the receipt of threats related to cyber, policies and procedures should be created by the President according to the proposals of the House. Thereafter, Congress should be allowed to debate and pass resolutions on all the forwarded threat indicators. On the other hand, heads of relevant agencies should work with the Attorney General before submitting any findings to Congress according to the proposals of the Senate (Fischer, 2013). One of the areas of cyber laws that seem to be moving forward is the inclusive sharing of threats related to cyberspace. As it stands now, private entities can swiftly boost their security levels by accessing vital information from the government and other private organs. Information sharing on all possible threats and attacks has been a major gain in the fight against cyber-related threats (Jaishankar, 2011). Second, both private and federal agencies have significantly embraced and deployed threat detection and prevention measures (Fischer, 2013). Second, there have been positive moves in research and development of Cybersecurity. Apart from just providing surplus funds, the Federal government has recruited, trained and equipped more personnel to assist in handling emerging threats (Eastton & Taylor, 2011). New threats have been identified through the help of on-going research and development. Public awareness and sensitization programs on cyberspace security have also been in the right direction. As it stands now, most individuals are now keener on how to protect themselves against online fraudsters. The ability to safeguard individual online accounts is a major gain as far as Cybersecurity is concerned (Bowker, 2012). The future of cyberlaw presents myriads of challenges that should be tackled with a lot of sobriety. For instance, it is apparent that cybercrimes will cont
Immigration played a big role in the history of the world, influencing economics, and shaping the culture of many countries. It is especially obvious in the example of America, which has been attracting people from around the world ever since the land was first discovered by European colonists. The Chinese Exclusion Act is one of the most famous laws aimed at restricting entering the United States by people from a specific origin. This law had a major impact on all spheres of life in the county and the course of its development. The purpose of the Chinese Exclusion Act was to make it more difficult for Chinese workers to come to the United States. The act that prohibited the immigration of workers from China was signed in 1882. The reason for it was that the American settlers of European origin who lived on the West Coast at the time were concerned with the competition in the labor market (Moore, 2018). The Chinese population in the region was increasing rapidly during that period, making them seen as a threat. It led to multiple complaints against Chinese workers, which often included violence (Hooper & Batalova, 2015). The negative attitude towards Asian Americans created the situation when the people from this racial group were not treated equally, and The Chinese Exclusion Act provided a legal base for discrimination. Additionally, the law impacted society, creating a precedent for ethnically biased legislation. Looking at these events through lenses of history helps improve our understanding of the nature and origins of ethnic and cultural tension in the United States, allowing finding new ways to resolve such conflicts. The Chinese Exclusion Act was signed because of the growing antagonism towards Chinese immigrants, and this law contributed to further escalation of the problem. Creating an unequal situation, such legislation put Asian American workers in a vulnerable position, making them an easy target for discrimination, violence, and abuse. Thus, leading to the escalation of the confrontation between different ethnic groups, the act had a dramatic negative impact on American society.
