The Japanese Economy
<view this essay>.... Many economists point to Great Britain’s economic lengthy recession of the 1920s as beginning (if not triggering) the worldwide Great Depression of the 1930s. In our present day, the continued economic slide of Japan, the world’s second largest economy, is the single biggest threat posed to the global economy. Another similarity exists between modern day Japan and Great Britain of the 1920s. In both cases, monetary policy has been blamed for contributing to sinking of these economic Titanics.
With this in mind, the purpose of this paper is to explore the failure of Japanese monetary policy to deal with its present economic crisis.

Hiring Minorities
<view this essay>.... the only difference being race and/or sex.
What we have here is a case of predetermined preference. The two
candidates in question are equal in all ways, except race. The black applicant
is selected, not because of skills or qualifications (in that case the white man
would have provided the same result), but for his skin color. This seems to be
blatant discrimination, but many believe it is justified. Some feel retribution
for years of discrimination is reason enough, but that issue will be discussed
later. First, lets focus on why this is not a solution to creating an unbiased
society.

<view this essay>.... 1991, 18]. "In today's world setting, international
migration is a discretionary action that is regulated by the specific actions of

obligation for any nation to allow others to enter or to work, in fact, most
nations do not admit immigrants for permanent settlement

Cola Wars
<view this essay>.... resolved before a company can even consider
entering uncharted foreign waters. This becomes very evident as one begins to
study the international cola wars. The domestic cola war between Coca-Cola and
Pepsi is still raging. However, the two soft-drink giants also recognize that
opportunities for growth in many of the mature markets have slowed. Both Coca-
Cola, which sold 10 billion cases of soft-drinks in 1992, and Pepsi now find
themselves asking, "Where will sales of the next 10 billion cases come from?"
The answer lies in the developing world, where income levels and appetites for
Western products are at an all time high.

Screening For Drugs By Employers
<view this essay>.... accidents from happening. However, some see it
very unnecessary to drug test a man who sweeps the floor of a supermarket.
When applying for any type of job involving the use or supervision
of complicated machinery, one is prompted to take random drug tests. The

away employees' rights. Though a place of work is not exactly a democracy,
it is true to an extent.
The rights of American citizens include something called probable
cause. In the United States Constitution, it is stated that no one shall

felt as if their current hardships could be blamed on the communists and their
economic policies, specifically their "Core-Periphery" plan.
The communist sponsored "Core-Periphery" economic policy that was
evident in Russia was quite simplistic in nature. The theory, traditionally used
to describe inter-continental trading and production, was adapted for use in the
Russian economic zones. The theory was as follows; Areas which surround the
capital (core region), usually rich in one material or another, would be used
for the extraction of raw materials. These materials would then be shipped back
to the capital .....

underlying inefficient "human" factors in the market equation is necessary
in order to account for the flaw in Efficient Market Theory.
Efficient Market Theory: A Contradiction of Terms
Efficient Market Theory (EMT) is based on the premise that, given the
efficiency of information technology and market dynamics, the value of the
normal investment stock at any given time accurately reflects the real
value of that stock. The price for a stock reflects its actual underlying
value, financial managers cannot time stock and bond sales to take
advantage of "insider" information, sales of stocks and bonds will not
depress prices, and companies can .....
