The characters in the novels Romeo and Juliet, The Odyssey, and Persepolis all have one thing in common, fighting for people they love. Whether it is a family member or a lover, each character plays a role in doing anything they can to stay faithful. The heroes in each novel earned my respect because they stood strong in the face of adversity and fought for who they loved. In Romeo and Juliet, the star crossed lovers did everything they thought of to stay together. These two characters chose death over departure, thinking they would still be with one another in heaven if suicide needed to be attempted.

As soon as the project of Chinatown Square started, another issue arose. That is, the lack of coordination of the present business restaurants owners. Chinatown had been heavily depended on restaurants business, which the owners competed by offering lower prices to attract customers. As a result, it was hard to convince these businessmen to compromise and coordinated with the project of Chinatown Square. Therefore, the construction of the Chinatown Parking Lot was an instructive procedure to unite these businessmen to cooperate. The result turned out to be very successful, and it accomplished the goal of Chinatown community which joined restaurants

This expansion demonstrates how the luxury industry is now run by massive corporations whose focus is only on growth, visibility, brand awareness, advertising, and most importantly, PROFITS! With growth and expansion, has come a decrease in quality and rarity. The luxury garments produced are mostly not handmade but are even outsourced to large factories in places such as China and Turkey. Also, to meet quarterly turnover projections, “designers churn(ed) out increasingly trendy collections of clothes, handbags, and shoes.” (Thomas, Pg. 246) With hundreds of new stores around the globe the surplus of designer labeled merchandise is immense hence, the proliferation of outlet malls.

World cities are markets for a vast range of goods and services as they are areas of massive accumulations of wealth and have extraordinary purchasing power. The importance of these cities as markets is shown by patterns of concentrated retailing in high-order consumer goods, such as clothing, jewellery, and art. Streets such as Fifth Avenue in New York are famous for their retailing of very expensive goods.

The last problem we highlighted concerns how to increase the number of customers in the mainland China market . First, we believe that the most relevant issue is a survey amongst customers on the Shanghai Tang brand perception and the 5 luxury brands in their top-of-mind, in order to analyze the competitors that the company has to face in the future.

The overall sales of luxury goods in the year 2009 is expected to be more than US$150 billion and Asia contributes 10% to it. The concept of luxury is now not confined to only to Europe and US, the Asian subcontinent contributes majorly to it, with India and China as the newly emerging markets. Professor James Twitchell (2002) comments on the democratization of luxury and the changing consumer psychology These new customers for luxury are younger than clients of the old luxe used to be, they are far more numerous, they make their money far sooner, and they are far more flexible in financing and fickle in choice. They do not

This will boost the economy of Singapore as when more companies are willing to invest in Singapore, especially due to our strengths like competitive workforce and strategic location, it will result in greater influx of capital. It will also result in a creation of jobs for the people, boosting employment rate and generating revenue for both the country and the individual. Take for instance, the chip used in the latest PlayStation3 and Xbox. A French semiconductor company, Soitec, is investing $700 million to set up in Singapore its first offshore facility to make the wafer for this chip. The wafers involve alternating layers of silicon and insulator, unlike conventional wafers which use silicon throughout. Soitec is coming here because its technology has to be well-protected, and we are the only country in Asia that they trust well enough to set up their first manufacturing campus outside of France. Thus, positive development is a sure thing with globalization. Furthermore, since in the modern day context, money is a key indicator of happiness, thus, Singapore’s development can be mirrored by the happiness of the people with their monetary needs fulfilled.

Hong Kong’s recent reinstatement as the world’s freest economy1 reconfirmed its claim as a central hub for international business travelers.

Although traditional stores are good for urban construction, online shopping can bring more economic benefits. According to Resnick, we can know that in shopping malls there was a great decline in shoppers and transactions (p.1127). With the rise of the Internet, online retail is becoming more and more popular in India, and it lead to a lot of important online retailers and others entering online business (Tandon, pp.1657-1658). As we all know, every year the double eleven breaks the record of trading volume. This year, people spent 16.82 billion RMB on the day of the double eleven. That means online shopping is becoming increasingly important, and more and more people are shopping on the internet, and it also means that other related industries are developing well. Especially, online shopping has promoted the development of express delivery industry. In china, a few years ago, it is difficult to deliver a package and many places cannot receive it. But it changed now, many express companies appeared and the express route is getting better. People can easily get their express from all over the world. What’s more, many people start businesses on the internet, because opening an online store is cheaper than opening a store.
