Indeed, when public policy is deemed to be culturally insensitive or discriminatory, it is often met with widespread anger and roadblocks to eventual implementation. Understanding the nuances of cross-cultural relationships between the public sector and its citizens will help prevent problems like this.
Problems of this type are also often experienced in the private sector, as firms attempt to build lasting cross-cultural relationships. In the private sector, however, the value of these relationships has made training for them an important goal. With my knowledge of organizational behavior, financial management, human resources management, communication, ethics, and cross cultural leadership, and its application to the private sector, I hope to expand my research into the private sector, investigating how prepared the private sector is to deal with these types of cross-cultural relationships and how the private sector can increase its preparedness.

With a Bachelor of Business Administration and Marketing from the Arab Academy for Science & Technology in Alexandria, Egypt and a Master of Business Administration and Organizational leadership from Johnson and Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, I am ready to expand my interest in international relations, cross-cultural relationships, and private business strategies to the public sector. Further, my practical experience in the British International Studies Association, American Management Association, and having served as an investment officer and buyer for international companies Citibank and Toys R' Us gives me a unique perspective from which to approach this problem. Thus, with a unique interest in business and international relations, as well as a great deal of experience in academia and the private sector, I am the perfect candidate for this university's doctoral program.

S. fails to consider the inmates as war prisoners, and does not allow them to defend themselves against the charges brought, is a complete breach of the Geneva Conventions. At the same time, statements such as Donald Rumsfeld's consideration that the prisoners of Afghanistan are unlawful combatants and do not enter the category of prisoners of war is simply a means of establishing a legal niche that would allow the
(Suarez-Orozco & Qin-Hilliard, 2004, p. 62) Nonetheless, even promoting universal primary education can interfere with the profit-making motives of multinationals and global finance. Achieving universal primary education is a double-edged sword. Though highly conducive to future economic development in low-income nations, it is an extremely expensive proposition for the wealthier nations. The World Bank itself revealed in 2002 that the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals of halving poverty
He feels that he last perspective explicitly adopts values that focus on justice and human dignity and strives to shape an emerging order of non-territorial central guidance to serve values associated with humanity as a whole, rather than promote the particular interests of favored religious, ethnic or geographic segments. Faulk's views of these perspectives are very straightforward and to the point. I think that the last perspective of a global
The framework for globalization is set by the stronger nations and their corporations. Even when weaker nations benefit from globalization, they may not be seeing as much benefit as they would have had they had equal bargaining power. It has also been argued that while it is nation-states that implement globalization, they merely do so at the behest of their corporations. It is the corporations, then, that truly drive the
As stated clearly in the book, But in today's world, a nation's form of government, not its 'civilization' or its geographic location, maybe the best predictor of its geopolitical alignment." For instance, China and Japan both have shared Asian culture, but at the same time one is a democratic country while the other one follows an autocracy. Thus, Japan will have more in general with another democracy, even though it is
