Japanese manga still is making inroads into American culture, despite cultural differences between the two countries that sometimes don't translate all that well. Manga, for those still unfamiliar with it despite the long shelves of it in area chain bookstores, is a form of graphic novel. Not so much comic books like Superman or X-Men, these come in paperbacked-sized books. Generally, the stories stretch over several volumes.

There are many different generational and cultural differences between the many vast countries that have evolved in our society. Along the side of the generational and cultural differences is the meaning of work that is attributed to those beliefs and cultures. The following will discuss these differences and describe and explain the way different societies have changed over generations. The biggest differences that one will see is from the societies meaning of work and the work ethic from the old to the young. Each and every one of these attributes affect one large outcome, international economics. International economics is impacted by the way societies work and the influence that culture and tradition is impacted on those people. The generational differences that can be seen from dif...

When a company decides to export, its hope is that cross-border sales will expand profits or, in some cases, shore up sinking domestic profits by increasing sales in other untapped markets. Businesses can use all sorts of methods and instruments to insure their investment and gain a competitive edge, but one invaluable tool across the board, one that might not be so easily taught and studied, is the ability to connect with a customer across lines of culture, language and tradition to form a mutually beneficial business relationship. One of the most noticeable and potentially most troublesome differences is language. Also beguiling and bedeviling to a number of international credit managers are the legal differences between countries. One major cultural difference that comes up is the pa...

The Bush administration is charting a proper course in pressuring Afghanistan's government to free a man who could be sentenced to death for converting from Islam to Christianity. The case is much more than the fate of one person and has, in fact, developed into a full-blown international incident. With all due respect to the cultural and religious differences between countries, what's at issue here is a demand for basic human rights if the Afghanistan government expects continued U.S. support. (And even if it does not.) This nation led the coalition of nations that toppled the Taliban government in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on Washington, D.C., and New York. And we remain an integral part of the support for the new Afghan government.

Previous study shows that equity structure and cultural difference are important factors that influence the performance of joint ventures (JVs). Based on the JVs contract database and Import/Export ranking database we collected, our analysis shows that the performance of monopoly controlled JVs is better that others under the domestic market situation. However, cultural difference is not the hindering factor to performance; in fact, heterogeneity has provided JVs better outcomes. Based on grouped data samples, it is believed that a higher ratio of Chinese equity in JVs will create better export performance. However, the relation between foreign equity and import orientation is not significant.

The delivery of foreign aid in Africa is an enormous challenge, engaging people from all over the world. In most African countries, hundreds of foreigners nals working as doctors, nurses, or technicians - are trying to help Africans better their lives. Their aims are laudable, but their results are often disappointing. Indeed, aid to Africa sometimes worsens situations. Last year's strident call for food donations to starving people in Niger prompted famine relief, which was later blamed for collapsing the prices of food grown by local farmers, ruining many of them. Cultural diversity is alive and well, and failing to acknowledge it carries unintended costs. To complicate matters, not only are there large differences between Africans and Americans, but among Africans themselves. For for...
