Jasmine Schumer Mrs.Odle Pre Ap English II 6th hour 30 November 2016 Forgiving Yourself According to dictionary.com, Forgive means to cease to feel resentment against. This one word is what many people struggle with. People have a hard time forgiving other people but more often themselves. Amir knows just how hard it is to forgive yourself in The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. When Amir makes the decision to not speak up about Hassan he felt so much guilt that he wanted Hassan and Ali to leave, he regretted it instantly. Years later, Rahim khan called Amir and asked him to come back to Afghanistan where he found out Hassan was his half-brother. Amir finally forgave himself when he found a way to make up for his mistakes. Hosseini portrays Amir as a morally ambiguous character by his guilt and inability to forgive himself for what he did to Hassan. Morally ambiguous characters become challenged by a dilemma that will test their mental strength. Amir’s choice to not speak up about what happened shows his betrayal to his friendship with Hassan. Hosseini displays Amir as Morally ambiguous when Ali asks â€Å"did something happen to him, Amir Agha? Something he’s not telling me? [Amir] shrugged.

While Amir may have had justification for his actions, it does not change the fact that he is a selfish person who had betrayed others for his own benefit. When Amir is first introduced to the reader, he appears to have an issue related to his past. This is seen when he mentions that â€Å"the past claws its way out † (1) and that he can not get away from his actions. The reader is then shown Amir’s childhood, and what he has done had made him into what he is today. It is then made clear that everything he did in his past was for his own sake.

Through many difficult trials within their lives, Salim is forced to become a father figure for Jamal; however, he allows his superiority to corrupt him in many circumstances.

The Industrial Revolution - 1633 Words

Think about your life for one second: you communicate with people, travel, make purchases, and utilize those commodities. But have you ever wondered what made those things possible? After all, you go to the store to buy things you need. You drive a car to work and to visit your friends. If you need to talk to someone, you simply pick up your phone or computer. However, none of this would be possible without a means of communication, factories to manufacture the products you need, places to work, and ways to travel and transport goods. And what made these possible? The answer is the Industrial Revolution, which started in Europe around the year 1730. A revolution is a major change or turning point in something. The Industrial Revolution†¦show more content†¦His engine used steam to power a pump, which turned a wheel, which moved machinery. It worked quickly and generated more power than the waterwheel had. Europe wanted to keep all this progress to itself, so anyone who had w orked around the machinery could not leave the country. It was illegal, and if they were apprehended, they could be punished severely. Nonetheless, a certain Samuel Slater took the plans for a cotton mill and fled Britain in the year 1789. He quickly traveled to the United States, where the Revolution would soon expand and pop, like the balloon. Slater went first to Rhode Island, where he opened up a cotton mill powered by a waterwheel. His work was peculiar and new to the Americans, but once they realized how productive it was, and how much more available the textiles were, they loved the new mills. Machines could make more goods at a lower price. The ready availability of cotton, threads, and clothing. Slater had brought ideas for the new mechanical looms and spinning engines as well, and people liked the ideas. After people realized how productive Slaters new mills were, factories for all different kinds of goods and products started popping up all over the United States.

Interracial Dating And How Accepted It Is Nowadays

Interracial Dating and How Accepted it is Nowadays Introduction: Interracial dating in the United States compared to previous history is more popular than ever before. It is more present because minorities are getting higher education, people are becoming more tolerant, there is more exposure to other cultures, there are no bans on interracial dating now, and young people are more self-expressive and believe more in individualism (Firmin Firebaugh, 2008). Though interracial dating is more accepted by people currently, there is still pressure from the ingroup, parents, and family members to date within one’s race. Some people still prefer intraracial dating rather than interracial dating. There are certain pros and cons to interracial dating according to research studies. In addition, the percentage of one race dating another varies and the gender statistics differs as well. Who is more open to interracial dating is different among the races. Lastly, there are certain characteristics that may determine how receptive a person is to the idea of interracial dating and his or her attitude of the topic. Discussion: Statistics that rates of interracial relationships, such as dating and marriages, have increased in the past decades There is an abundance of evidence that displays interracial dating is on the rise. â€Å"Krikor (2001) reports that interracial marriages are increasing, from 51,000 African American-Caucasian marriages in 1960 to 330,000 in 1998.

The Needs and Satisfaction Levels of International Tourists, How Touri Research Proposal

Essays on The Needs and Satisfaction Levels of International Tourists, How Tourists Resources Are Aligned to Meet the Changing Needs of Tourists Research Proposal The paper â€Å"The Needs and Satisfaction Levels of International Tourists, How Tourists’ Resources Are Aligned to Meet the Changing Needs of Tourists" is an engrossing example of a research proposal on tourism. This proposal provides background information compelling the implementation of this study. It also provides a management decision problems and research problems (Miller, Vandome, and McBrewster, 2009). The proposal also provides a detailed research design for this study by providing the type of research to be undertaken, the type of information to be collected, the recommended method of data collection, sampling techniques, and plan of data analysis (Bramwell and Lane, 2011). The report then provides a conclusion and recommendations for the study.There are various tourist attractions features in Canberra. One of these features is the Australian war memorial, which was built in 1925 that commemorates the war dead of Australia (Breakey, Ding, and Lee, 2008). Another fe ature is the national gallery of Australia which has a wide range of Australia’s art collection. The new parliament house is another key tourist attraction feature in Canberra. Tourists are also attracted to the Australia national film and sound archive which is situated in the Art Deco building that was established in 1930. The Australia academy of science is also a source of tourist attraction in Canberra (Buhalis and Darcy, 2010). Australian national botanic garden that contains many species of flora found in Australia is also a tourist attraction for tourists. The Australian national university is also a tourist attraction point mainly due to its beautiful grounds. Other main tourists’ attraction features in Canberra include Lake Burley Griffin, National Carillon, National Library of Australia, National Zoo and Aquarium, Black Mountain, Canberra Explorer bus, Canberra theatre center, civic square, and Commonwealth Park. In addition, others are Canberra Thespis stat ue, Deakin, Forrest, general post office, London circuit, old parliament house, Parkes, Parliament triangle, Reid, Royal Australian mint, Russel, Serbian orthodox church, St. John’s Church, St Kilda Carousel and Yarralumla (Australia, 2011). Tourists are also attracted to Canberra due to its surroundings such as snowy mountains, Lanyon Homestead, Mount Stromlo observatory, Tidbinbilla and Namadgi national park.BackgroundThe purpose of this study is to elucidate the needs, wants and satisfaction levels among international tourists visiting Canberra, Australia (Buckley, 2011). Tourism is one of the major contributors to the Canberra economy and Australia as a whole. The changing needs of tourists call for establishing their needs and wants in order to be able to satisfy them (Miller, Vandome, and McBrewster, 2009). Studies have indicated that the satisfaction of tourists is under the influence of several situational variables such as social settings, resource settings, and mana gement settings. It has also been established that based on the tourist’s socioeconomic and cultural characteristics in addition to their norms, experiences, preferences, and attitudes, they evaluate tourists’ attraction features subjectively (Australia, 2011). Australia has been experiencing dwindling number of international tourists since 1995 and as such, there is need to establish the needs, wants and satisfaction levels of those who visit Canberra in order to inform the management on how to improve on this and increase the number of international visitors to the region (Bramwell and Lane, 2011). Thus, the main object of this proposal is to devise ways of conducting a study that will help in informing the management of the needs, wants and satisfaction levels of tourists in Canberra (O’Neill, Riscinto-Kozub, Hyfte, 2010). This will, in turn, help the management to offer the much-needed direction on how to tailor the available resources in order to meet the n eeds and wants of tourists and at the same time increase the satisfaction levels. By doing so, the management will be able to reverse the declining trend of international visitors to Australia.

Tourism Futures Caribbean Tourism

Question: Discuss about theTourism Futures for Caribbean Tourism. Answer: Introduction: Similar to consumer product the Caribbean tourism marketed and packaged towards mass consumption. The Caribbean tourism industry can be compared easily with industries like the forestry and petroleum production with ways that includes the commoditization and the exploitation of the natural resources with Caribbean tourism also based on mainly the natural resources such as the sea, sand and sun (Goodwin, 2008). Through the natural resources exploitation as well as commoditization, this Caribbean tourism helps towards providing the pathway both regarding the economic development and regarding giving source for local government to exploit those. This industry of Caribbean tourism differs also from the paradigm that is typical of the exploitation, the commoditization of the natural resources to the degree that is based on the impacts that directly affects the social conditions and the local culture. The continuous arrivals of the foreign tourists have towards the disrupting of the local norms those are social and the traditions and the institutions those are cultural affect potentially. The preservation relating to the cultural and the social stability merely does not provide the principle that threatens with cultivating divisions among these Caribbean communities that is local. Caribbean Stake Holder Analysis The sustainable practices affect the various stakeholders. The inhabitants of the islands are the first affected with a small population of close to one million consisting of the various islands. The framework towards the policy for these inhabitants began with the development process with the demographics, the size and the population with figures providing the income and the gaps that were primary to the sustainment of the tourism goals. Apart from the inhabitants the tourists those who are arriving in the Caribbean make the sustainability drive. The area relating to the tourism brings close to $ 10 million or more business that helps the economy as this is the main source that drives the island nation within the Caribbean region for the sustainment of the entire ecology and the people of this region (Holder, 2007). This is mainly the active sector in this Caribbean region as it focuses more beach tourism. The investments that are provided for this sector is primarily important to the need related to the sustainability regarding the development of the tourism. The region that thrives to put forward the fact that average 55% tourism expenditure moves out of the destination nation but this commonwealth area of Caribbean having least expenditure moving out of region helps the sustainability issue. Tourism Life Cycle Prior to the proper analysis of the Caribbean the need to address the Tourism Life cycle area of Butlers. This landmark study related to the area, the flow of the events that provides to the areas that dictate the business resort success in the long term with the depiction of the normal flow related to those events in the cycle that are to follow. The part where the Caribbean plan related to the sustainability does not address really is the extension and the continuation of the Caribbean life cycle (Butler, 2006). The plan that are applied by the local authorities with the plans related to the study is exactly not meant with the areas to extend the tourism trade declining life, since the area related to the tourism in this region of the Caribbean is growing and getting bigger year on year. This does not provide to suggest that it does not effect, as plans need to be made keeping the future that foreseeable with complementing the 2040 plan for maintain the economic growth and the risi ng tourist sector. Tourism Development Stages There are three stages of tourism development that Caribbean government has to undertake to ensure that the diverse use of environment is taken place. The first year consists of ten year plan emphasis up on creating healthier environment like recycling programs, fostering developments in the near future and formulating policies. The second case is for twenty years with the focus on sustainability in cultural and the last aspect is encompassing both. It involves the future elements associated with renovating the procedures and policies continuously that aims for sustainability. First Stage (1-10 Years) The first approach adopted by Caribbean is to establish Sustainability Council through centralized mode and legal mode. The logo of sustainable tourism is One Caribbean, One sea and one voice (OneCaribbean, 2016). Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association has taken an initiative with the help of Caribbean Alliance for Sustainable Tourism (CAST) by working with strategic partners OBM International for looking into the sustainability of Caribbean region. The Council authoritative has to work on various aspects so that sustainability can be expressed through use of resources and replacement in islands. With this sustainability can also be maintained by incorporating culture where the tradition and inhabitations life are not at stake. The first issue in way of sustainability is energy consumption that is based on oil dependency and also use of alternative such as non-green for generating energy. As the price of oil is increasing it is becoming difficult for inhabitants so using alternatives will fetch in expansion, increased purchasing power and investing in business. The cost to the business should be lowered for attracting tourists thereby, increasing revenue and growth of Island (Davies, 2002). The Council gas to ensure growth of renewable resources by raising the supply as in the case. Due to expensive technology it will be impossible to implement in high number but, the demand may rise and with this growth in infrastructure can be seen. The main problem in Caribbean is the mono product that is being sold i.e. Sand and Sea. The region is only famous for this product that mostly attracts tourists. Additionally, the ecological footprint also needs to be protecting its natural resources affecting the environment. The natural resource has to be protected with the climatic change that is occurring in the location. The flora, fauna, oceans etc. have to be protected from damages as with the rising population deforestation is taking place. The Caribbean tourism organization has to set up policies by incorporating littering fines, programs for recycling and wildlife restoration. Second Stage (10-20 Years) In this stage the first issue is culture as before 50 years it was declining the reason being immigration and repressive policies. Caribbean is a diverse states ethnically that involves Europeans, Africans, Lebanese, Chinese, Jews and other groups too. The values and ideas about the culture awareness have to be increased by being culturally diverse for serving tourist. For building culture awareness the topics should be taught in schools for increasing the longevity. With this cultural festivals should also be held that helps in sharing the fashion by promoting tourism for visitors and local host. The government should also generate funds by promoting festivals by indulging into source of entertainment and fluency of language by supporting programs. Language encompasses a big component in culture for fostering sustainability in the process by talking to people via spreading knowledge. This reduces the gap of culture dislocation by encouraging the host population to participate in the cultural activities by taking pride. The festivals such as St. Lucias annual Jazz or Carnival taking place Tobago (Zappino, 2005). This festivals taking place in Caribbean region is even working in peak low seasons by earning revenue through spectators and participants. The last aspect of sustainability is for families in Caribbean that is linked to agriculture and fishing. The trend is being continuing since centuries that are now linked to cultural aspect. The solution that can be generated is urban farming that helps the families in having its own single plot for each individual in cities. The cultural barriers created for families have to be removed by Caribbean Travel Organization (CTO) by removing the barrier of fishing. The business idea shared by contributing in the long-term is via earning business revenue in short-term by being a Caribbean brand. This attention is also grabbed by the media sources for promoting a location. Third Stage (25 Years) The last stage is incorporating plans by having an effective control of system by implementing it in an efficient manner. This is done for sustainable environment by establishing policies that benefits the visitors and tourists. This controlling and monitoring in case of policies is mandatory for maintaining the sustainability that is successful. The region should focus up on working on entire process for generating sustainability by finding methods for raising the sustainability of the last ten years. This includes improving performance of business by economic or considering cultural elements of population. This stage is on the maintenance plan by implementing best measures by taking measures that is suitable and appropriate. This has two aspects- culture is surveying about the population by learning about local cultures and being bilingual. Another is sector of renewable energy that is used to measure the amount of release in environment and composing renewable energy percentage in the sector. The most crucial is increasing the demand as tourist destination by attracting more and more visitors. According to Clare Gunns study of tourism there are forces that work on the tourism equilibrium in the environment residing. The demand forces in the market is an indicator of expenses that is encompassing for stay, things and activities that can be performed, cost of area visiting and area beauty (Gunn, 1980). The quality and sharing of information via online tools with this marketing campaign for influencing people by making it a hotspot for visitors. According to UNWTO reports staggering developments in tourism is taking place and Caribbean has position its market by acting as driving force in economic diversification. Caribbean Pestle Analysis The PESTLE analysis related to the Caribbean is important for knowing the areas and the factors that work in that region. With better relations among the locals and the authorities, bring strong political climate that suggests the closeness in the cooperation regarding the development of the Caribbean region. The area though largely not affected by the economic, as large economic gap does not exist in the region with people happily understanding the tourism provides the livelihood that helps towards reduction in the poverty and bettering the lives of the local community at large(Daye et al., 2008). The cultural factors with the tourism helping this local and the social culture to exhibit that remains important towards the sustainment of the plans. The technology with regards to the implementation of the energy programs require the implementation that helps the sustainability with affordability and spreading with the local government supporting the initiatives with the environment and the resources towards creating renewable energy. Thus Caribbean with better climatic conditions and growing tourism has better cultural and social ethos that help the sustainable plan 2040. References Butler, R. (2006)The tourism area life cycle.

Ethical Decision Making and Cases †Free Samples to Students

Question: Discuss about the Ethical Decision Making and Cases. Answer: Introduction Running a business is not an easy task due to the different factors which have an impact on the business. This is in terms of the factors over which the business has no control. These include the factors like regulatory compliance, social, political, financial, environmental and legal issues. The problems are increased when it comes to running a business in the international markets. This is because for carrying on a business in international market, the company has to follow the laws of not only the home nation, but of the target nations as well. The problem is amplified when the business has to be carried in different nations across the world. When such a situation is presented, the different issues raised in the global perspective have to undertaken (Hamilton Webster, 2015). In the following parts, a brief has been prepared for the Board of Directors of Australian organization management which would highlight the legal implications of dealing with parties of Brazil and China. In doing so a number of aspects would be analysed, which would include the legal arrangements which are needed for carrying on the business, cultural sensitivity, monetary system, in addition to the internal and external business environment and the ethical considerations in carrying on business in the two nations. Commercial and Legal Arrangements A key part of running business in the global market is to look after the commercial and the legal arrangements. The Peoples Republic of China has a civil law system, which consists of administrative rules, regulations and statutes. Apart from this, the Supreme Court of China is responsible for issuing the interpretations which have to be adhered by the lower courts while adjudicating the cases. However, the lowers courts are not under the obligation of following the rulings of higher courts even though as a practice this is usually done. Unlike US, China does not have a federal system. Hence, there is no applicability of precedent in the nation. Two key forms of business vehicles can be used in the nation, which includes partnerships and companies (Ambler, Witzel, Xi Zou, 2008). Like China, Brazil is a civil law nation. Though unlike China, the legal system of Brazil is based on codes and legislations which are enacted by the federal, the state and the municipal legislatures. In terms of the business management vehicles, the common form includes corporations, i.e., sociedade annima, and limited liability companies, i.e., sociedade limitada (Bingemer Thompson, 2017). Regional Economic Integration Regional Economic Integration denotes the efforts which are put in place for promoting fair and free trade based on the region. When it comes to China, the foreign companies are allowed to sell their goods and services in the nation in a direct manner. However, in doing so, there is a need to comply with the import regulations which are applicable. Trade can also be conducted in the nation by forming branches and subsidiaries, appointment of distributor or/and agency, and entering in franchisee agreements with the qualified partners (Lewis, 2016). In case of Brazil, the majority of overseas companies can conduct their business in t eh nation through affiliates and subsidiaries. Where a decision is taken by a foreign company to form a branch in the nation, the branch would be subjected to and governed under the laws of the nation. The formation of such a branch would also require the authorization, which is granted through the ministerial ordinance, and this is a lengthy bureaucratic process (Bingemer Thompson, 2017). In China, there are a number of regulations surrounding the exchange control and currency. A foreign investor in Chian in a foreign investment enterprise, where 25% of the registered capital includes foreign investment accounts, has the legal entitlement of converting the after tax dividends which are derived from these enterprises to foreign currency and these can be remitted overseas based on the applicable regulations (Lewis, 2016). In Brazil, the obligations have to be executed in the national currency, i.e., in reais. If the same is not done, Decree-Law No 857/1969 would make it null and void. When it comes to the obligations which take place between natural person or entities domiciled in Brazil and natural persons or entities domiciled abroad, the same has to be paid, based on Law No 9,069/1995, in an exclusive manner through institutions which are authorized to operate in foreign exchange market. This authorization is granted by the Central Bank, which effectively controls the foreign exchange market. Though, at some instances, there is a need to obtain approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The transfer of funds from or to a place outside Brazil is, save for some exceptions, not subjected to limitations regarding the amount and the prior authorization from the pertinent authorities of the nation (Bingemer Thompson, 2017). Current Trends and Developments At present, the people from out of China are required to operate and invest in China through the special investment vehicles present under the different acts and are also subjected to the diversified rules from the domestic Chinese companies. January 19th, 2015 came with the circulation of draft version by the Ministry of Commerce of the new Foreign Investment law. The public comment period expired back in February 2015. Once formally accepted, the present regulations and laws surrounding governing foreign invested entities would be replaced and repealed. This would result in all of the foreign investment entities converting into corporate entities or limited liability companies based on the company law. Though, before the same is brought into action, there are several steps needed which includes multiple rounds of reviews (Lewis, 2016). In Brazil, the Congress is under continued discussing on a new Commercial Code which would cover the provisions on legal entities and this proposal is deemed as a very controversial one. There is a consideration going on in the Federal Government for removing or lifting the barriers towards the acquisition of the rural land by the overseas nationals, and in the acquisition in Brazilian commercial airline companies, of equity interest by the overseas nationals, which is an increase from the present 20% limitation (Bingemer Thompson, 2017). Cultural Sensitivity Cultural sensitivity refers to the awareness of the similarities and differences in culture, which exists between the people from different areas, based on their values of right and wrong, positive and negative, and better and worse. Between China and Brazil, there are both The people of both the nations are not uncomfortable in getting straight to the point in the matter of finalizing the deal. There is a common preference towards socializing and getting to know the party with which the business is being carried on. In order to build a good rapport, considerable time has to be spent and a relaxed and pleasant relationship has to be formed before business is discussed. Both nations appreciate authority and hierarchy levels. The approach of business people of these nations is negotiating with the people instead of the company and for this purpose; and instead of opting for telephonic communications or written communications the face to face meetings are preferred (Vras Vras, 2011). Apart from the cultural similarities between the two nations, there are quite of lot of differentiating factors too. China considers the exchange of business cards as a ceremonious matter; whilst Brazil deems it as just a manner of exchanging information. Interruption while speaking is not tolerated in Chinese culture, whilst the same is still acceptable in Brazil. A direct eye contact is deemed as disrespectful for Chinese people, whilst Brazilians deem it as a sign of honesty. Brazilians also accept backslapping and hugging, whilst in Chinese people, this is not acceptable in any situation (Vras Vras, 2011). Business Environment The best manner of highlighting the internal environment of any nation, a SWOT analysis proves the best option. A SWOT analysis denotes the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threat before a nation, on the basis of different factors. Brazil is a leading global services destination owing to it being a substitute location for business management. SWOT of Brazil is presented below: Strength Weakness Time zone ease for the US buyers Cultural affinity Infrastructure Geographical propinquity to US Competitive risk adjusted costs Effective human resource Leading tourism spot Strong agricultural sector Scalability of labor force Labor pool competencies Critical mass of service providers Foreign perception of the nation turned negative; particularly in context of robberies during Rio Olympics Bureaucracy and red tapism Opportunities Threats Maturing economies in Latin America Leverage based on different language skills Institutional support for IT services industry Emerging as local service providers Discovery of worlds largest oil reserve A changing business climate Growing middle class (Prezi, 2012) Shifts in regulatory environment Perceptions regarding the economic status Investments in IT sector Support required in education system Labor law requirements Labor rates rise Date security, intellectual property protection and privacy issues (Gartner, 2007). SWOT of China is presented below: Strength Weakness Leading destination for business outsourcing High availability of natural resources Rising education acquisition Integrated into the global economy Cheap labor Low wage rates Large population has potential of buying power. Shadow banking Disorder financial support Inequalities in urban and rural dimensions Cities are jam-packed requiring money to be spent on infrastructure Growth in average inflation Overseas companies complaint about intellectual property Opportunities Threats Gives advanced technology as sole owner Lot of financing infrastructure projects Easy targeted industries of transportation, energy and communication Opportunities in financing infrastructure projects Advanced technology (Monde, 2017). Political risks Behind the western requirements in context of reporting and accounting standards Cultural differences resulting in business conflicts Clash between the state run enterprises and entrepreneurs Uncertainty about advertising market (Helms, 2015). The external environment of any nation can be best summed up through a PESTLE analysis where different factors affecting the businesses in the nation are highlighted. A strong political system in the nation helps in boosting the economy. Government is strong and has firm commitment towards flourishing of business. There is a strong political support to the industrial sector which helps in boosting the economies. Chian continues to have high GDP and excellent growth rate. There are favourable rates of saving, expensive export business, and large number of skilled workers. The interest rates are increasing and commercial banks reserves are also high which do prove to be unfavourable. There is fluctuation in age distribution and cultural and social aspects play a major role in the nation. The social behaviour and family size have an impact over emigration, education, religion and lifestyle. The nation is amongst the world leaders in technology where new mechanisms of distribution, production technology and new methods of working are constantly brought forward. Due to the growth in e-commerce, regulations have been formed with regards to their protection, and taxation. Though, there are no regulations to support privacy or recognition of digital structures. The nation is famous for its environmental related issues due to high pollution in the nation, coupled with regular smog incidents. Though, steps are taken to curb this in line of reducing vehicles (Kasi, 2015). The nation became democracy in 1980s. A huge problem in the nation is corruption which continues to go worse. This goes to such an extent that even when a small business has to be opened up in the nation, the same cannot be done till the time payments are made to the officials of government. Owing to the dissatisfaction amongst the people, mass protests were carried out in 2016 against Dilma Rouseff, which shows that before investing in business operations in the nation, there is a need to consider the political situation of the nation. Back in 2010, the GDP of the nation was quite high but the same went down in 2012 and 2014. The nation is still struggling in pulling itself out of recession even though the signs of recovery are visible. There is a decline in the gap between rich and poor with middle class growing. Though, around 20% people still live below the poverty line. In comparison to nations like US and China, Brazil has weaker technological infrastructure. Though, the IT sector of the nation is constantly improving. There are varied legislations across the states which results in high compliance costs owing to complexities. A normal business establishing period takes 120 days. Steps have been taken by the government to stop emissions and deforestation and industries are forced to start eco-friendly combustion techniques (Research Ideas, 2017). Ethical Perspective Apart from the legal aspects, there is a need to consider the ethical principles for gaining an understanding of social justice and human rights with regards to business practice. Thus, in carrying on business in the nation, there is a need to apply the theories of corporate social responsibility, utilitarianism, virtue ethics, deontology and Kantian view. Corporate social responsibility relates to the obligation of the companies to analyse their impact of their actions and decision on stakeholders of the company and also about regulating and controlling the same (Dima, 2016). Utilitarianism is a leading ethical theory which makes such acts as ethically correct, through which the utility of an action is maximized (Albee, 2014). When poor work conditions are provided in factories of China, it would not be an ethical thing, in addition to breaching the basic human rights. The next applicable theory is virtue ethics based on which, the acts are to be undertaken in manner of honesty, justice and integrity (Hooft, 2014). When the tourist in the nation is robbed, as was done during Rio Olympics, the ethics are not followed. This is in addition to disgrace of fundamental rights of human safety. Deontological theory provides that there is a need to comply with the duties and obligation for making a decision (Ferrell Fraedrich, 2015). For this , there is a need to follow the environmental concerns to fulfil its obligation towards environment. Lastly, Kantian view requires the treatment of people as end, instead of them being treated like a means to end (Beiser, 2014). The corruption problem of Brazil shows the citizens being treated as a means to an end, instead of working towards their betterment. Thus, these ethical theories have to be applied for running business in the two nations, particularly in context of social justice and human rights which are related to the practices of business. Conclusion On the basis of this analysis, it thus becomes clear that running a business in China and Brazil is not an easy task to do. There are a number of factors which have to be taken into consideration before a business is started in any of these two nations. There is a need to consider the different legal formalities and ethical requirements based on the internal and external environment faced by the nation. There is a need to strictly follow the law, which is an obligation, and to tap the opportunities presented above of the two nations. Most importantly, there is a need to put the human rights of the individuals in priority zone, even where these are not a legal obligation. Thus, this discussion achieved the purpose of highlighting the legal implications of conducting business in both the nations. References Albee, E. (2014).A history of English utilitarianism.
