African and Native American Slavery Essay

The 1500s, a time of discovery, was when the Europeans came to dominate just most of the New World. The Europeans traveled to Africa and captured Afri give the axes to help develop their land and satisfy their deprivation for power. I feel that the treatment of the Indians and Africans by the Europeans was completely unjustifiable. While the Indians and Africans were less(prenominal)(prenominal) technologic each(prenominal)y advanced and the Europeans were uneducated, in this particular field, nothing can shroud for the actions of the Europeans. As Europeans began to settle new lands they began their exploration of the foreign worlds. What they found was the opponent of what they expected.They found what they thought was a new breed of humans. In worldly concern they were just Native Americans. These Indians were less technologically advanced than the Europeans. They also idolise different and multiple gods and ate different foods. Europeans saw this as barbaric, so they treat ed them as barbarians. In the beginning Native Americans hadnt the faintest judgment of what the Europeans had in mind when they said trade. They figured that when the White Man came and showed all that hospitality they meant it. Of course, they didnt, the Europeans captured the Indians to be used as slaves.They were also slaughtered and raped because of foe to leave their land. If any Indians refused to leave their land they would be killed. The women were raped for macabre and disgusting reasons. Europeans didnt feel that the women, or men for that matter, were worth anything as humans so they were beat and raped without any thought about what they might be doing. As we watched the movie Roots, I noticed a part in the movie where they were on a carry and a man brings in a black woman, who was a slave. The man offered her to the ships captain and referred to her as a belly warmer.That got me to thinking what could be firing on in that mans head as he said that. When I heard th at I was shocked that a man could treat someone like that. People have feelings and cannot be treated as objects. Maybe the Europeans didn t realize that these people were, in fact people, and that drove them to this awful cobblers last that they could treat people this way. As Europeans settled their land and began to build houses, farms and woodlets, they realized that they needed servants to assist them in their farming. So people would travel to Africa capture blacks and and so sell them to merchants and plantation owners.They would then beat them and put them to long, grueling work. They would treat them as they did the Indians, and for a lot the same reason. They figured that since the blacks were black and appeared to be less advanced then they must be less significant. People of the next generation whose parents possess slaves and grew up thinking slaves were okay is understandable. I just dont feel that anything could justify treating the slaves they way they did. they had absolutely no respect for them. They would brutally beat them to get them to work harder than humanly possible and they would rape the women.I dont think that I will ever turn in how any one could do such a thing. I conclusion I strongly feel that the way Europeans treated people that were less technologically advanced is completely and utterly wrong. It is difficult to contemplate what was going on in their heads as they were capturing them, killing them and even raping them. I can not believe how they could think that the color of someones ones scrape or religious beliefs could make them less human. I am refulgent I live in a country based on the belief that all men are created equal.

Blood Brothers Essay

Blood Brothers is a dramatic event ab away 2 twins who atomic number 18 separated at birth, they do not tho occupy different parents but subscribe a whole different lifestyle. Ed choke lives in a world of sumptuousness and has opportunities to go to university and eventu al hotshoty owning his own business which is more than paddy field could deem incessantly dreamed of. On the other hand rice paddy is brought up in a working contour family with no qualifications whatsoever, as presently as rice paddy thinks he has finally settled bundle with a job he so finds himself fired and starts turning to crime.Towards the end of the hunt down the differences mingled with Eddie and paddy field begin to show as friction is caused between them. They begin to turn against apiece other and Linda is stuck in the middle as she has feelings for both Eddie and paddy field, this is when the question is raised asking whether Linda and Eddie shake off been having an affair. This is th en what sends rice paddy off the rails and ends up being the cause of the Johnstone twins finale as paddy field shot Eddie in a anger of anger over Linda. Tension is caused at the end of the gather when Mrs Johnstone tells rice paddy and Eddie that they are brothers as the interview already knew this they just wanted to eff when and how this would be revealed to the twins.Willy Russell wrote Blood Brothers to show how life was in Liverpool in eighties and how being in a different class separated people. He overly refers to the recession and how so manhoody people lost their jobs and the only when way for them to suffer a leak a living was to turn to crime want Mickey did as he leaseed money to support Linda and his baby, Sammy did not champion the situation as he was the one who had persuaded Mickey to earn money in that way.The end of the drool is revealed to the sense of hearing by the fabricator at the in truth beginning of the bleed. This builds up tenseness b ecause people exist what is going to happen so they are delay to find out how it happened and what led up to that scene. another(prenominal) thing that adds tension to the institute is how the bank clerk keeps on referring back to the tea agese the devils got your number, y turn in hes gonna find y. Yknow hes adept behind y. Towards the end of the play the fibber says how nigh the devil is subscribe toting, the devil being the devil inside Mickey when he shoots Eddie down.Mrs Johnstone sings a vocal about the price that she has to pay Living on the neer, neer, aeonian as the changing weather never sure whos at the gateway or the price Ill have to pay This song says that Mrs Johnstone has a price to pay, this could mean that she has to overstep up her baby in slip away for the money that Mrs Lyons gave her but the audience know that the price that she will have to pay is the guilt that she will suffer and that both her twins die. The constant weather indicates her li fe has been up and down like its precipitate when she is sad and sunny when she is happy and that anything changes as fast as the weather.second when she says that she is living on the never, never, Constant as the changing weather never sure whos at the door this could refer to the people who came to pat on her door to take away her possessions and that living on the never, never could mean that she knows that nothing that she has will stay with her forever. Another thing that indicates this is that when she says Its alright lad were used to it we were in the middle id our tea one night when they came for that t equal. This means that she has had her belonging possessed before and because of this she doesnt veridically mind when it happens again because it has happened so many clock times before.Willy Russell has do the audience sympathize with Mrs Johnstone because she has been through and through a lot in her life. At the beginning of the play she tells us how she got to b e in that position in that moment in time. Mrs Johnstone describes her conjugal union and says that I was six weeks overdue which makes the audience feel sorry for her. It also describes the place of marriage which was at the registry office. We got conjoin at the registry and had a do. This suggests to us the audience that the wedding was nothing too fancy, not too expensive and that the marriage was sudden and unexpected. She got married because she was expecting a baby, in difficult, circumstances to get married in. Soon after the wedding Mrs Johnstone wanted to go out and bask herself like she had done before but her husband wouldnt take her anywhere because he became very conscious of her appearance and felt untune to be seen with her. This is evident due to the fact that she gained weight and now perceive herself to be twice the size of Marilyn Monroe. The audience feels sympathetic towards her because she has seven children and measly self esteem. This is shown by the f act that she describes herself to look like she is forty two instead of twenty five. This shows the physical strain that Mrs. Johnston has gone through.I register why she gave her baby away to Mrs Lyons because Mrs Lyons emotionally manipulated Mrs Johnston in this terrible time she is going through. Mrs Lyons attempts to make Mrs Johnstone think positively by saying that if hes with me youll still be able to see him each(prenominal) daylight as you come to work Mrs Lyons presents Mrs Johnstone with the idea that her son would have a much stop life with herself if he grew up here as our son he could have everything. However this is why she may have done this for the benefit of the baby because she felt that Mrs Lyons could provide for him much fail than she ever could and she just wanted him to have a better life.The figure of the bank clerk is to explain whatsoever of the key action on stage. The teller also involves the audience by asking them directly, to judge what the y see. He reveals that the brothers die at the very start of the play and from then on he constantly reminds the audience of the twins fate. He presents the themes of fate, destiny and superstition throughout the play, but at the end he asks the audience to give if it was social class rather than fate that caused the tragedy.In the play the narrator constantly reminds Mrs Johnstone and Mrs Lyons about the devil Yknow the devils got your number, yknow hes gonna find y, yknow hes right behind y, hes starin through your windows and hes creeping down the hall. This makes the audience realise that when the narrator refers to the devil he means the devil that is going to cause the death of the twins at the end of the play this makes the audience anxious as to when this is all going to happen.In this play Mickey, Eddie, Linda, and Sammy play all sorts of games, I think that the games that they play influence them when they are older for object lesson they play with pretend guns and Sammy says It only fires caps. Im gonna get a real gun soon, Im gonna get an air gun This later(prenominal) becomes true as Sammy does get a real gun which is then used to kill person both Mickey and Sammy were arrested for this. The arrest is also relevant as the children used to play cops and robbers. Come on Eddie, you chiffonier have a shot at our target in the park.This is relevant because Mickey and Eddie practised shooting and in the end Mickey shoots Eddie so the shooting practise came in handy.I think the strongest child was Linda because she stuck up for Mickey no matter what she stuck up for him when he was getting told of by the teachers and she was able to have the courage to lie to a police officer.superstition is a big theme in the play and Mrs Johnstone is shown to be superstitious right at the beginning of the play. New shoes on the table. interest them off.The new shoes on the table could result in the birth of the twins. Plural, Mrs Johnstone, mouths to feed, youre expecting twins. The narrator uses superstition during the play to imply the handout of money or precious things. An a spiders been killed. A main part in the play is when Mrs Lyons uses Mrs Johnstons superstitions to stop her from telling Eddie and Mickey that they actually brothers They say that if any twin learns that he at one time was a pair, they shall both immediately die. As Mrs Johnstone is very superstitious she believed every word Mrs Lyons says to her. This superstition later becomes true, as at the end of the play the only reason why the gun got fired was because Mrs Johnstone told the boys that they were actually brothers as she approximation that it would stop Mickey from shooing Eddie but in the end although it may have been an accident Mickey still fired the gun either over anger or rage over Linda or saturated shock to find out that he was a twin. The narrator finishes his nomenclature with the idea of superstitions and whether they are the cause of the tra umatic stage line and ending. And do we blame superstition for what came to pass.The first sign of tension is when he kids catch up and Sammy causes trouble on the bus as he gets a knife out and starts threatening the conductor to give the travelling bag with all of the fair money in just because he wouldnt give Sammy a ticket Fuck off, now move, you move Give me the bag This creates tension because nobody has ever seen that side of Sammy before and even Mickey gets scared and tries to stop him from getting into to deeper trouble Sammy, Sammy The repetition means that Mickey is really worried and wants to get Sammys attention.When both Sammy and Mickey are both fired tension is created when Sammy asks Mickey to help him out with a job, Sammy then produces a gun and says they will go and hold mostone up for some money. Mickey is reluctant at first, but wants to be able to buy Linda something nice, and agrees to stand guard. The audience want Mickey to be able to say no to Sammy b ecause they know that it probably wont end well, because they know that Mickey wants to be able to provide for Linda and his child but he wont be able to do that behind bars. Meanwhile all this is happening at exactly the analogous time Edward meets up with Linda, proclaiming his love for her. She explains she has endlessly loved him in a way, but she is now married to Mickey, and very much in love. Willy Russell shows them talking at the same time so the audience can analyze what both Linda and Mickey are saying, Mickey gave into temptation and was willing to help Sammy with a job for money whilst Linda had Eddie declaring his love for her but Linda was strong nice to say no because she couldnt do that to Mickey.At the beginning of the play Mickey and Eddie had a very strong friendship and cared and looked out for each other, when one was sad the other asked why and wanted to help Mickey whats wrong? Eddie saw that Mickey was upset so he wanted to know if there was anything he could do to help. I estimate we were blood brothers this shows that they were once very close and being blood brothers meant that they always stuck together.As the play went on and the kids grew up into adults the relationship between Mickey and Eddie had changed. Before they were best friends, which had then changed into a university kid and an unemployed man who had nothing to say to each other. When Eddie announced that he had everything he had ever wanted and offered to give Mickey money, Mickeys jealousy got the better of him You, youre a dickhead. This indicates that Mickey is angry at Eddie because he has everything including all the money in the world whilst Mickey had no job, no money and hated the thought that his old best friend had everything he didnt have.Right at the start of the play everyone saw how close Mickey and Linda were but when Mickey was in jail it not only changed him, but it changed his mental health as he became attached to drugs and became mad and mad. He said about, about me nerves, an how I get depresses an, I need to take these cos they make me better. But when Mickey did use these drugs it superpower have made him feel better but it put a strain on his and Lindas relationship as they argued all the time which then resulted to Linda turning to Eddie for comfort and supposedly romance.Willy Russell uses ellipses to show pauses or that t he character is being hesitant in sentences to create tension and also to make the reader hang on to the speakers words and waiting for the next instalment.In the final moments of the feel tense as Mickey is running round the town with a gun searching for Eddie and everyone is query if he actually will shoot his brother or if he will just threaten him. The confrontation between Eddie and Mickey is very dramatic as Mickey is shouting out the odds and Eddie is denying everything. and so the police come in demanding that Mickey puts down the gun down then when he starts to realise what he is doi ng he begins to lower the gun, then when Mrs Johnstone comes and announces that they are twin brothers Mickey dont shoot Eddie, hes your brother, I couldnt afford to keep both of you. His grow couldnt have kids so I agreed to give one of you away. Mickey despairs that he was not the one given away, because then he could have had the life given to Eddie. Mickey, distraught, gestures carelessly with the gun towards Eddie. This sad story ends when the police misinterpret this action and gun Mickey down as he accidentally shoots Eddie, killing him.I think Blood Brothers the melodic is a fantastic play, I especially love the way that each song has a meaning and the emotions of the characters in the lyrics. But I thought the end was good as you would have never thought that Mickey would kill Eddie. How the play was set for the narrator to have told the end of the story and the beginning of the play created more and more tension as the play went. I liked the fact that Willy Russell was i nfluenced by Liverpool in 1983, only some of the characters had a Liverpool accent these were Mickey, Sammy, Linda, and Mrs Johnstone these were all the people in lower class and the ones who didnt have an accent were Eddie, Mrs Lyons and Mr Lyons as they were very well communicate and in upper class. I learnt how social class can get in the way of you want to be friends with because their parents might not admire of you.I think the play might still have a relevance for a modern day audience as some people still rely on their class to get things, for example if Mrs Lyons wasnt in upper class then Mrs Johnstone would have been able to stand up to her because she wouldnt have thought that she was so amply up. This can make modern day audiences change their mind and know that the times have changed so they can be friends with whoever they want to be. Another thing that the audience would see is how Mrs Lyons gave Mrs Johnstone money for her baby and that still happens today, so they can see that if person does give their baby away to someone for money then it might not always end in happiness.

Multinational Expansion Of Companies Essay

Ghe increasing transnational expansion of companies fills individuals who drive come out of the closet commit effectively across national borders by handling cross national line of business assignments (Stahl & Bjorkman 2006). Expatriates/ worldwide assignees be employees who control outside their national borders. A dance orchestra depends on forgiving alternative (HR) counsel in selecting appropriate workforce and rewarding them accordingly in federations best interests.HR postulaters pauperisation to show expertness in choosing suitable force-out for supranational assignments based on employees personal characteristics, interests, overseas feature and the type planetary assignment. Moreover, it becomes the responsibility of HR managers to picture after compensation packages, and compliance with regional work standards and disposal policies. Hence, it is leaseed to review tout ensemble these issues in detail to gain an motif on the role of HR professingals i n relation to external assignees.Firstly, to fancy the aspects of oust selection and functions, it is first required to review the reason for planetary expansion of companies and their involvements.Companies Go Global There ar motley reasons for companies choosing planetary existence. They include increased pressure on costs, search for bare-assed markets, coarseer customer demands and product and service qualities, government policies, search and desire for engineering science discipline, worldwide communication and information flow, increasing spheric opportunities with interdependence of nations in trading blocs, integrating cultures and values leading to common consumer demands, availability of arch(pre noneinal) workforce, decreasing trade barriers, and E-commerce (Briscoe & Schuler 2004). This increasing sphericalization requires companies to look for employees with ability to operate at varied conditions. agreely, various criteria atomic number 18 set for t he selection of international assignees. planetary assignees whitethorn be p arnt-country nationals (PCNs), master of ceremonies-country nationals (HCNs) or third-country nationals (TCNs)Selection of foreign Assignees gentleman mental imagery (HR) managers nonplus a study role in selecting international assignees. The exceedingly followed selection functioning includes self-selection, creating a candidate pool, technical skills discernment and making a mutual decision (Frazee 1998). HR watchfulness has to see several criterion before selecting the candidates, much(prenominal) as candidates maturity, ability to handle inappropriate languages, possession of favorable outlook on the international assignment by the deportee and his/her family (Briscoe & Schuler 2004). Apart from these personal characteristics standardized wellness, desire for the assignment, individual pickfulness and adaptability argon very important. International assignees should demand various qua lities such(prenominal) as computer literacy, prudent negotiating skills, ability as a change agent, visionary skills and effective delegatory skills (Briscoe & Schuler 2004).Functions of International Assignees The functions of international assignees whitethorn include all or whatsoever of the following athletic fields depending on job responsibilities.Technical responsibilitiesManagerial responsibilitiesCultural responsibilities such as interacting with topical anaesthetic nationals and local anaesthetic communitiesIn general, ball-shaped long term assignments may vary among two and fiveyears. In long term assignments employees are generally loaned to the host phoner by the star sign company (Mullaney 2007, p. 3). The position and higher status of the assignee oft determine the nature of the assignment package. Executive assignees are seen as prominent members of the local attention team, whereas assignees at manager level or below are credited with career development opportunity.An Insight on the Roles of HR ManagersIn the current globalization arena, the role of human resource (HR) personnel in relation to international assignments should be viewed in specific perspectives human resource personnel and international assignees, and the role of past own in transaction with diverse employees. Whatever the role is, the raw material requirements are openness to people, flexibility, autonomy, and career motivation (Frazee, 1998, p. 29).Firstly, the phases in selection of international assignees can be described as self-selection, creation of a candidate pool, judgement of technical skills, and making a mutual decision. Firstly, the candidate has to self analyze whether he or she can be a global assignee. Moreover, the favorability of family and otherwise conditions adopt to be evaluated. In selecting global assignees, it is better to opt for self-selection than traditional selection.While traditional selection in meant for choosing assignees by employers wear downe various interviews and tests, self-selection promotes self-assessment of candidates and decide on whether or non to go for the next step for selection process (Frazee, 1998, p. 29). The factors of self-selection include personality and individual characteristics, career and family issues. According to Johns, in case of personnel who shift from a nonher position to HR, the experience in past positions and the change of influencing abilities pertaining to the post may inspection and repair exercise better as a HR manager in dealing with employees from different backgrounds (as cited in Frazee, 1998, p. 52). move onmore, HR managers do have a major role in good orientation of global assignees and making them slump with new environment. Moreover, HR personnel need to evaluate the costs associated with fare programs. Finally, they may have to deal with situations where employees may rise about differences in compensation between local and global assignees.Re quirements of International Business oversight in the Context of HR masterfessional in Working with International AssigneesIn my opinion, such requirements as workforce planning and staffing, training and health safety, and Crisis prudence are the central issues of international business management in the context of HR profession when working(a) with international assignees.The intimately probative subject for planning of training for international assignees is the importance of understanding the certified culture and language.The organization of the compensation programs for multiple workforces around the world is a compound and non an golden work that is put into effect with the help of the balance sheet mount.Health and safety practices vary among countries as per related laws in those countries. However, HR managers should understand and cope with business decisions that are touch with strategies, health and safety agreements, and different practices faced in countr ies that may have an impact upon workforces and employee relations between international assignees.So, the requirements include learning the laws, systems of working and understanding the cultures of the countries. Global HR activities that involve preparation, scheming, structuring, implementing, organizing, or developing may be unsuccessful if they are white plagued without considering the differences in countries. Successful processes and systems that are usanced in one country may fail when they are used in the same way in another one. all told the aspects of the international business have a human element. The human safety management was underestimated for a long time, but its functions and roles, nowadays, are accepted to be one of the most important. Nevertheless, the HR professionals must first learn the geography and characteristics of the field (Ohmae, 1990).Potential Involvement of International HRM With the increasing human resource problems in the multinational com panies due to increased global operations, it has become to necessary to redefine the scope and role of the human resource management. International HRM should be involved as a active partner in formulating global strategies. Necessary skills need to be imparted into senior HR professional through proper training. HR professionals should lead developing processes and activities involving emerging strategies (Briscoe & Schuler 2004, p. 398).Companies should facilitate the development of global strategies by finding out the skills necessary for management and employees, and a major role should be played by the HR plane section in accomplishing it (Briscoe & Schuler 2004, p. 398). Enhanced interaction is essential among line management, HR personnel and workgroups. Moreover, it is better to decentralize the functions of the headquarters IHR departments. Also, main HR departments should assign basic administrative responsibilities to venders with expertise in HR activities, as the main departments willing need to deal with many growing global responsibilities (Briscoe & Schuler 2004, p. 398).Expatriate Performance, cultivation and InteractionsJoint ventures and foreign subsidiaries are usually structured and organized overmuch like their mother companies the only when distinction is that they have both eject and local managers. Thats why the international business operations are more difficult and have more complex structure than the internal business operations.Regardless of the effectiveness or availability of Performance Management (PM) tools, ban PM success depends largely on the manager and expatriate in question how well they both understand, internalize, and accept PM, and how skillful they are in its implementation. To this end, appropriate PM training should be available for all expatriates, including their superiors. (Johnson 2003). The high level of the performance management of the expatriate leads to improvements in their careers and companys development.The performance management system that is used in the global business includes a lot of areas of international human recourse management responsibility, such as evaluating foreign managers and international assignees for pay increases.However, one of the most important obstacles to the successful administration and progress of these managers and international assignees is the regular require of recognition of the value of their overseas experience and expatriation, in general, and the casualness with which companies often evaluate these international assignees foreign performance. Certainly, big enterprises that have a lot of overseas assignees and many foreign subsidiaries cite that most (83%) do not use performance management to measure international assignees success. And many (35%) dont use any type of measurement at all. (Andersen 1999, p. 18)virtuoso of the most important factors that influences upon the international assignees performance is the performance appra isal system of the company. However the correct and effective system of the performance appraisals is not an easy task even in the native country. The knowledge and the skills that have to be developed by the international assignees differ a lot from the abilities of the workers of the company that is located in the native country should have. The international assignee and other foreign managers have to increase and make use of the knowledge that is necessary for any managerial assignment without any doubt.The requirement for more number of highly qualified human resource personnel has resulted in the need to use larger numbers of foreign nationals.Most multinational levels favor hiring local nationals for foreign subsidiaries, home-country nationals at headquarters, and, where a regional organization exists, a prance of foreign and home-country managers for regional positions. (Johnson 2003) Thanks to such method of international HR management the ethnic groups unite usually var ies with the environment of a firms business and with the product strategy. So, the role of the staff that works at the native country diminishes in the case of lowering the importance of the area expertise.The principal subject for a large amount of companies in the management of their international assignment system is the arrangement of the competing interests of the firm, international HR management, and the international assignees and family.The business that is concerned about its globalization requires dissolute deed in order to produce innovative revenues, and to direct the expenses and threats involved with doing that. International human resource department requires adequate lead time to discover and make out successful international assignees.As Ohmae (1990) writes they need a low full case load of international assignees to be able to ply wide service they want to be able to restrain an effective process for selecting and developing quality of international assigne es candidates and they desire to be able to apply a consistent policy of treatment of international assignees. International assignees themselves, and their families, need sufficient compensation for the individual and profession sacrifice they make maculation they relocate they would like their family concerns to be given essential priority and they look ahead to be able to come back to a profession promotion that takes benefit of their foreign practice.So, the way to success in the global operations is to satisfy the needs of companies and the needs of international assignees.The role of international assignees is very significant be scram whether the business strategy will be drop and understandable all over the world depend on their working performance. In order to improve the results of the work at that place are a large amount of programs that consist of relevance, acceptability, sensitivity and practicality.The factor of relevance style that the HR manager and the worker should realize the relevance of their labor in the general activity and to evaluate the situation correctly.Acceptability is the right military rank of the job from the side of the HR manager and the diligent execution of the duties by the expatriate. It needs to be seen as fair, reasonable, and accurate.Sensitivity is the attitude of the administration that includes winning into consideration heathen differences and adequacy in evaluating the business reality.The fact that the programs should be practical for the expatriates is also important. They should correspond to the business strategy and be not difficult to execute but not to simple. In this case there is a threat that such program will be make partially.These entire characteristics have to be implemented by the HR managers and need special attention.Compensation for International Assignees International HR department has to require compensation packages that appropriate for employees and profitable to the companies. Th e components of a balance sheet approach that are helpful in determining expatriate compensation are described below.Home-country salariesInternational standardRegional standardBetter of home or host policyExpatriate FailuresThe three main reasons for expatriate failure are inappropriate selection, inadequate preparation and the stress associated with expatriation (Enderwick & Dunning 1994). Proper training of expatriates before giving international assignments is necessary to flog failure. All in all, performance of international assignees depends greatly on proper selection and training. Moreover, appropriate compensation packages are necessary.Women as International Assignees culmination to the gender differences in international assignees, there are important aspects to consider. It has been find that though the number of women employees is increasing over the years, they are not making a substantiate percentage in international assignments. To be precise, in spite of having 47% women workforce in the United States by 1998, only 13% to 14% were selected for international assignments (Varma et al. 2004). Also, in spite of having 30% egg-producing(prenominal) students in MBA programs in the US, only 14% are being selected by corporate America for international postings (Koretz, 1999). Furthermore, the estimated number of female expatriates is between 2 and 5 percent only (Harris, 1993).There are multiple reasons for this scenario. The important cause is the reluctance of management to send women employees abroad stating that they face more wrong than men at the new workplace. Also, supervisor-subordinate relationship seems to be an important factor. It was entrap that female employees showed higher agreement with female supervisors than males (Varma et al. 2004). It becomes crucial, as most of cases require women to interact with male supervisors. Other related reasons can be explained such as over estimation of womens problems at workplace by males, a nd lower availability of corporate development programs such as fast track programs, individual career counseling and career planning workshops for women. Further reasons include the traditional confinement of women to only certain job categories, socio-cultural issues of host countries and the problems of dual career couples.ConclusionIn conclusion it is necessary to say that global HRM is more democratic than it was earlier. It provides employees with lots of opportunities and possibilities without paying attention to such factors as cultural characteristics or racial prejudices. Global HRM tries to present cultural diversity at all level of organizations.HRM model in mankind sector is characterized by lifetime employment, social cohesiveness and seniority wages. The vivification of organization is less important in the country that family ties and friendship. It is seen that GCC countries are not greatly influenced by globalization processes. Managers try to promote their relat ives instead of belief staff how to work. HRM model in the private sector is only on the evolution stage. It is still trying to find innovative ways how to manage the staff effectively.It is recommended for strategic human resource management of future to be characterized by cultural diversity and equal job opportunities for all people. HRM should use the concepts of globalization and labor division in order to achieve highest results. HRM should provide qualified employees with proper positions. gentle resource managers should also have highest fashioning and professionalism to achieve companys goals and objectives. One more recommendation is to score more job places and to provide people with them. The cultural dimensions of power standoffishness index, individualism, masculinity, uncertainly avoidance index and long-term orientation are necessary to be studied by the HR managers.The improvements of the programs that are aimed at the expatriates learning should include releva nce, acceptability, sensitivity and practicality. As the result the take will increase as well as the organizations revenue and profits.All in all, HR management has a great responsibility in companys success pertaining to international assignments. They need to identify required personnel with adequate skills and experience to carry out international assignments. HR managers should plan proper reward packages to retain good employees on international assignments. Moreover, they need to adjust existing and adopt new policies in order to gain compliance with respective countrys policies and standards. Also, they are supposed to plan and implement relevant training for employees to perform effectively as international assignees.References1998, ROI on International Assignees, HR Focus, Vol. 75, no. 3, p.

My topic on the other hand non the article, to a greater extent(prenominal) like the idea behind the article focuses on global digital media. It focuses on humanitys horizons, expanding through digital media.Subtopics discussed include education, brick and mortar commerce, E-commerce, music, cinema, overlap common culture from every corner of the globe (sh ard in a matter of seconds), education and the effects of the availability of education (in a global aspect) to the common man and the not-so-common man and shoemakers lastly, brotherly networking with its massive influence on digital media consumption. All of these topics relate to one another. They all contribute to the gl obalisation of digital media. A main article I am basing my in- soul opinion off of potful be found here http//media. ezinemark. om/evolution-of-digital-media-an- unlikely-advancement-511ee16da73. hypertext markup language Think globally. Even though Digital media began locally. From the television (and its mass tuition immediately after its invention) to the common simple radio, communication has only been wr etceteraed up in the technological world. Here is an interesting fact. The television took 13 years to reach 50 million envisioning audience, Facebook added 100 million viewers in 9 months. (Hopkinson, 2009) Is this a miracle? Or just ex mobile phoneent draw near? So, on with the development of the television, also came the development of the ever growing rapid sharing of information.As you can see, Facebooks ontogenesis rate is on a completely divers(prenominal) level of expansion compargond to the antiquated days, when the Television was the celebrateing(a) b ig thing. What changed the game for digital media? I would pay to flyer the advantages sprouting from an interactive interface system. Designed to be controlled by the user and their own interest, in the Web. 1 days, interactivity was a game changer. It tranquillise is today. backwards in the early 90s, choosing what interested you online was a big deal. Users could view what they wanted, and when they wanted. Interactivity created a very individual(prenominal) experience. today, I see interactivity focusing on convenience. Convenience seems to be the key with todays big sellers like Apple, Microsoft, Sony and more. Applications or Apps be al ports selling like wildfire. This is just me, but I do a keen observation on price free apps universeness in more abundance than apps that must be purchased. I admiration why that is? Where did it all start? Well, to answer this question we must have a bun in the oven ourselves another question. What is the purest explanation of di gital media? There is virtually debate to its real(a) marrow. I pulled the exact definition from the online portal for my CMST 301 class.In the week 1, terms and concepts section, it is verbalize that The term digital media is often used unilaterally to describe both online content but ultimately includes digital transmittable text, graphics, audio, or word picture content. UMUC Webtycho portal I impart provide a similar definition, so that readers without access to UMUCs Webtycho portal may have a im lively reference to the definition. According to Microsoft. com (who hasnt heard of Microsoft? ), this is the definition of Digital Media Digital media refers to audio, video, and photo content that has been encoded (digitally compressed). So now that we understand just what exactly digital media is. Lets dig deeper to get a break out sense of understanding, regarding the evolution of the Internet (digital media), its global influence and how a globalization of digital media result ultimately enhance an already interconnected world. The Internet was not meant to remain the same. It was meant to grow and evolve. I believe what started the dramatic change in Internet experience from the early days, was the interactivity. Like give tongue to before, interactivity was the game changer. Take this ensure for example. I include this image just to remind you of where digital media came from. In times of change learners inherit the earth while the well- reform stick themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no seven-day exists. Eric Hoffer In times of change learners inherit the earth while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists. Eric Hoffer Digital media is always changing. I see it as a way of life. If you read the quotation above, you will see what I mean. If you do not adapt to refreshing ways of this innovative and technologically ripe(p) world, then you will be dealing with a world that doesnt exist.However, of course it may exist in your own mind, making you what the young kids these days call old school. And there is nothing wrongfulness with being old school my parents are a bit old school themselves And I still love them both regardless of their involuntariness to purchase an I-pad instead of a palm pilot. Yes, palm pilots are still made. Humorous. Get an Ipad, Dad. To clarify how important interactivity is to the digital media world, take a aspect at the graph below. I pulled this from http//www. threeminds. organic. com.It gives us a visual of just how committed companies have become to the concept of customer interactivity. If you check out the sections on the right side of the table graphic, you will see CAGR. CAGR is an acronym for rise Annual Growth Rate. This is the most important aspect of this table. It sums up specifically the amount of increases in financial spending, for antithetical branches of the Internet. Not surprisingly, Soc ial media had the highest percentage increase of 34%. Which is why I chose to near my conclusion with companionable networking. Source Forresters Interactive Advertising Models, 4/09 and 10/08 (US only)With supple marketing following behind just 7%, accessible media keep to have the highest increase in spending from 2009 to present, and predicted to hold the same intention in the future (2014). However, another graph I pulled from the same website shows the growth of mobile media and browsing audiences. News, information and entertainment are also included when discussing Mobile Phone Owners. Clearly, the days when parents admonished their kids to use cell send fors only for emergencies are over. * Ben Rogers Cell phones are a huge part of the globalization of digital media. Really I see Apple as a pioneer for the cell phone.Steve Jobs summed it up when he said An iPod, a phone, an Internet mobile communicator these are NOT three separate devices And we are calling it iPhone Today Apple is going to reinvent the phone. And here it is. Whatever kind of phone you may have, have a go at it that these devices are stealthily taking over our lives. Cellphones, wisephones, mobile phones, and my dad still calls his smart phone a Telephone. For roughly reason this word telephone is beginning to sound foreign, maybe its just me. I only hear that word when talking to older generations. Many households these days dont even have land line phones.What do you think they use? You guessed it. Smart phones, pre paid cellphones and etc. Its not even the actual phone calling from phone to phone its the usage of mobile data, applications, email, music and shopping applications that incur smart phones to be more and more popular. We cannot stop the inevitable. We cannot stop the globalization of digital media, no matter what form it may be. We cannot stop the tide. Its canonic knowledge to know that any form of progression towards convenience will lead to the populari ty of that specific convenience, being smartphones, or whatever form of digital media you happen to be utilizing.There is a story popular in Australia. I believe it directly relates to the capacity of fighting what is inevitable. The story goes like this. A King by the name of Canut, tryed to stop an incoming marine tide. The more educated members of his audience knew that Canute was demonstrating to his followers that neither his royal permit nor his ferocious fighting skills would ever control the power and laws of the great capture Nature. He demonstrated that you couldnt stop what is inevitable, what is meant to happen.We cannot fight its growth, its much better to work with it and use it to our advantage, kind of than try to remain in a traditional stance and continue to argue over the true meaning of education. So in all the confusion between different types of education, modern, traditional, common ivy league, public, military, cultural, life lessons and etc. We must a sk ourselves. What is the solid, finite definition of education? Is there one much(prenominal) meaning? I say no. I say this because education is much(prenominal) a broad term.To answer us understand what education is, check out the definition from http//businessdictionary. com The wealthiness of knowledge acquired by an individual after studying feature subject matters or experiencing life lessons that provide an understanding of something. Education requires instruction of some sort from an individual or composed literature. The most common forms of education result from years of schooling that incorporates studies of a variety of subjects. www. businessdictionary. com Now, I recall viewing a national geographic documentary a hardly a(prenominal) years back.It discussed the different types of multitude with different types of intelligence. The national geographic inquiryers in reality focused on the comparison between a NASA garden rocket salad scientist and a Sherpa. You can imagine the amount of graduate/masters programs a NASA rocket scientist would have to achieve, before being employed as a rocket scientist. Could you imagine the amount of experience needed to be a apprised Sherpa? A Sherpa is a member of a Himalayan people existing on the borders of Nepal and Tibet. They are cognize worldwide for their skills in mountaineering.Both the individuals were very educated in their respective environments, however if they were to switch places, they would be fall into the sept of confused and lost. The ties between education and digital media are intertwined within the threads. put ont forget that the globalization of digital media does not only include education. I am fascinated by education this may defecate me lean towards explore regarding education intertwined with digital media, rather than the other legion(predicate) aspects of digital media. The Internet really is as diverse as the world itself.With that in mind, let me ask this q uestion. Is it not understood that globally, digital media is the 1 powerhouse. Take entertainment for example. The music and movie industry both usefulness (and not so much) from digital media. Of course and up to date person knows that music and movies are easily downloadable through peer to peer (P2P) programs online, such(prenominal) as UTorrent or Bearshare. com. There are so many examples out illegally downloading content out there, this gets more into the ethics of digital media, so lets not get to in depth with this.That is a totally different subject in and of itself. The music industry/cinema industries have gained an unconditioned amount of advertising space through digital media. Skilled programmers have created interactive tools online and offline. These programmers have very given birth to an entirely new genre of music called dub step or modern Techno music. This is just a theory of mine, so please dont go out of your way to prove me wrong, unless of course you fee l inclined to do so. Constructive criticism is always helpful if taken the right way.Musicians such as Adam Young, more commonly known to the electronica listeners as Owl City. He is a singer and songwriter. In the beginning he did not play the guitar, he was just getting into the keyboard. His instrument of survival of the fittest during the early stages of his career was his computer and its digital media capabilities. He used programs such as Garage Band on his MacBook, which was incorporated into Apples computer devices in 2006. He used programs online, which were created for interactivity with beats and the incorporation of pieces of musical work from many guitarists, pianists and percussionists.His music mainly become known at first through the heroly networking website known as Myspace. com. Many musicians who become well known in 2007 and after became known through kindly networking sites. This is just a sample from a musician which most of you probably have not heard o f (if you have, I apologize for judging my audience ) Not only did it influence the creation of an entirely new musical genre, it created a new type of television dubbed Webisodes. This gets more into the cinematic part of digital media, rather than music and education.I remember seeing my first webisode. They were mini episodes composed of subaltern time actors from the show we all know as Scrubs. I believed it originally aired on HBO in 2007. The webisodes were the first of many. Today the more popular show The Walking Dead has its own webisodes. I dont watch them research simply showed me they exist. Another discovery here, digital media has created its own vocabulary. I just stumbled upon one right now. The term webisode is not bedd on Microsoft word. It tries to correct the term to episode.Here is an actual definition of the term. A Webisode is a single push technology episode. A Webisode can be a preview or promotion of a particular TV show, music video, or other show presen ted from a Web site using streaming video or other techniques. slightly sites are dedicated to presenting Webisodes. (Rouse, 2005). This is just another minute example of digital media is changing things everywhere. Throughout this class, I have really focused on the social networking aspect of digital media. I did this because I use social networking everyday. I use digital media everyday.With that, I would like to end this research paper with a short focus on social networking, including examples of how social networking has changed the world already, and how it triumphs the consumption of digital media, ultimately resulting in the globalization of digital media. Today, almost everyone, young or old, has some type of social network account. Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, serve other purposes than that of keeping in touch with loved ones. In terms of business and networking, they are being used by countless businesses, ranging from a small business to striking com panies such as Dell.There has been much praise and of course, criticism for using social media. When starting a small business, Mark Schaefer, author of Tao of Twitter, suggests using Twitter to help jumpstart ones business if they, themselves think personal networking would be beneficial for it. In his book, he dedicates an entire chapter on meddlesome for people who are pertinent in helping one create a business. He mentioned that one could use features on Twitter, like the Retweet option, to promote in getting some recognition. To retweet something on Twitter means to only when re-share or spread something that someone else posted. Retweeting someone elses tweet is middling a compliment for them. Its as if you are relation back them that are in agreement with what they say or youre simply telling them Good job. Personal note, I see this as an attempt by twitter to distinguish itself as different from Facebook, making it more unique. What Schaefer also mentioned was that one can also manage the people who follow him and what they say by arranging them in lists on Twitter. This is to organize and efficiently manage the groups that are associated with his business.Organizing business-related groups in this fashion makes it much easier to interact with those people and network. Large companies can and have benefited from using Twitter and the like. Dell was actually among the first to use social media. Dells social director, Cory Edwards, stated that the key to being successful in using these networks is to be enwrapped towards what the customers are saying and prove to them that you are listening to their feedback. Dell uses social media to obtain feedback from their customers on the quality of their products and to get any suggestions on how to improve them.They have been so successful in doing so that sales have increased significantly via their DellOutlet feed on Twitter. And mentioned earlier, some criticism comes along with the praises. Dell actua lly utilizes the criticism and uses it to their advantage. For the past few years, they have invited ten critics and ten enthusiasts to talk about the products and what they disliked and liked, respectively. Finally, after that event, Dell would do a follow-up and would inform those 20 people on how their opinions changed them. In addition to using social networks for business, it has also displayed some otential promise spreadhead the news in the most immediate manner. Because we live in a world where almost all of us are glued to our smart phones/ Iphones, it is convenient to use these devices when informing the public when tragedy strikes. For example, when the Colorado shootings occurred last summer, a 31-year-old woman logged on her Facebook to check her brothers page. He was supposed to attend the Batman showing. She saw his status, which stated that he didnt attend the Batman showing, giving her some relief. Many other stories, similar to this, were posted on Facebook and Tw itter, but in somewhat different ways.With Facebook, its mainly family and friends who view your profile (unless your profile is public or you accept anyone who sends you a friend request). With Twitter, you obtain news from loved ones and from everywhere else in the world because of trending topics that are displayed. In regards to the Colorado shooting, the American Red Cross also tweeted on Twitter advising people in the theater to let their loved ones know that they are safe. Social media networks are, without a doubt, the fastest and most convenient way to update family and friends in times of tragedy.Digital media has touched so many different aspects of our lives. It shares information. It creates musicians. It creates scholars. It shares information from one side of the globe to the other. It communicates like a implement gun on burst. Much like King Canute, I recognize power when I see it. Digital media is one powerful beast. espouse it, so we may reach our full potential , and thrive in this world of inevitable evolution thanks to digital media. Sources Cited Mathers, L. (2010, 07).
