What is Asia?

Asia as a topic appears across a wide range of academic disciplines, including international business, economics, political science, history, and cultural studies. Its sheer geographic and demographic scale makes it a compelling subject for analysis, and courses that address global development, foreign markets, colonial history, and international policy frequently ask students to engage with Asian countries as central case studies. China in particular appears as a focal point, whether students are examining energy policy, economic development, or market entry strategies for companies operating in the region.

The papers archived under this topic reflect a broad mix of approaches. Several take a business and marketing angle, analyzing how companies navigate Asian markets, assess competitive positioning, or develop strategic plans. Others adopt a developmental or historical lens, exploring how colonial histories have shaped different economic trajectories across the region, or tracing the conditions behind post-war economic growth. Policy analysis also appears frequently, with papers examining national-level decisions around energy and trade. A smaller thread of cultural and social inquiry runs through the collection as well, touching on practices like Tai Chi and questions of language learning motivation among non-heritage speakers.

A strong essay on Asia begins by narrowing its scope — choosing a specific country, policy area, time period, or industry rather than treating the continent as a monolithic subject. Evidence drawn from economic data, historical case studies, or documented business outcomes tends to carry the most weight. The most common pitfall is overgeneralizing: Asia contains enormously diverse political systems, economies, and cultures, and collapsing that diversity into broad claims weakens any argument significantly.

Paul Keating's Redfern Speech: Rhetoric and Persuasion
Paul Keating's speech at Redfern Park in Sydney is a brilliant example of rhetoric and experienced political spin. The speech is well-executed and shows solid use of fallacy and the three modes of persuasion: pathos, ethos, and logos. The use of rhetorical devices is akin an expert sushi chef using his knives—rapid, precise, stunning. The use of epiphora, particularly in tricolon format, lends both cadence and emphasis. The word imagine is used in this manner and in epiphora convention, as the word is repeated in successive clauses. The connotation of the word confident is made more powerful by its proximity to the word imagine. Further, antithesis is threaded throughout by deliberate distinctions between non-Aboriginal and indigenous Australians, and presumably to use the favored terms of reference for every member of the audience—as it is a political speech. There is a great divide between the experiences and treatment of the privileged primarily white non-indigenous citizens of Australia and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people. Keating does not shy away from this fact. Indeed, he even underscores the confounding problem by reminding the now privileged Australians that they were not always so, through his use of erotema. He asks again and again, if Australia did not open its doors and extend its hands to the dispossessed people of Ireland, Britain, Europe, and Asia.

Romeo and Juliet and Atonement: Love, Class, and Gender
Romeo and Juliet has always been one of William Shakespeare's most popular and successful plays, even though critics have sometimes dismissed it as an immature or sentimental work. In that respect, Atonement is not sentimental at all but rather grimly realistic, although the love of Ronnie and Cecelia also ends tragically. Both the play and novel have a great deal of seemingly irrational and senseless violence that destroys the lives of the main characters. In Atonement, the violence takes the form of a system that convicts Robbie unjustly of a crime he did not commit, and then gives him a choice of either serving in a war as cannon fodder or staying in jail. Cecilia and Briony also experience the violence of wartime London with regular bombing and endless numbers of badly mangled bodies that flood into the hospitals where they work. In Romeo and Juliet, the violence is the endless feud between the Monatgue's and Capulet's, in which Romeo kills Tybalt in retaliation for the death of his friend Mercutio. Great Britain in 1935 was not nearly as repressive and patriarchal as the Italy of the 17th Century which is the setting for Romeo and Juliet. Women had won the right to vote by that time, and were beginning to attend universities or work outside the home, as Cecelia and Briony Tallis did. Unlike Juliet, they were not being forced into arranged marriages contracted by their father, who actually seems indifferent to them.

Diversification Strategy: Virgin Atlantic vs Virgin Cars
Diversification as a strategy for business growth usually gives rise to successful companies. The strategy of diversification must be incorporated together with other strategies in order for the business venture to be highly successful. This can be seen in the case of Virgin Atlantic which has grown to be a leader in the airline industry. On the other hand, when diversification is not done in the right way and in conjunction with other considerations, it will lead to a failure of the business venture which was the case for Virgin Cars.
