The internationally recognized South Korean electronics company, Samsung Group, is accredited in the Fortune global top company but 2.5 decades prior, the company was initially just a small domestic grocery store (Samsung, 2017; Lifewire, 2017). The company’s product quality, design, pricing, and technology has not always been known as it is known in the past decade. Founder, Lee Byung -chull, diversified his products from food, textile, building, wool, insurance, security, retail and finally to the success of electronics in the 1960s; before becoming one of the top five most powerful Asian company in the world. Samsung’s history is particularly longer than most companies but the development towards their success is intriguing; revealing multiple setbacks including the Korean War, and a long-occurring transformation before championing one of the best products in the electronics industry. Eventually, Samsung reached global success, and through the Asian Tortoise Route, the brand Samsung has become a prominent face of South Korea. The Asian Tortoise Route was pioneered by Japanese companies namely Toyota, Honda,

attacking the USA , hurting the usa, and damaging others. They did that incident with the oil in Kuwait and they did 9/11 and destroyed the U.S.A. They have their weapons of mass destruction that could destroy the U.S.A and the U.S.A
In the story 90 Miles to Havana by Enrique Flores-Galbis, the main character Julian has one big conflict with himself that is about losing the fish. Julian is battling himself about not telling his brothers or his dad that he caught a fish. He was supposed to alert them even if he felt the littlest tug. In the book on page 4 it says, “Yell, even if it’s just a nibble,” I say, repeating what he tells everyone that climbs up on the chair.” This shows that Julian had to remember that in order to go in the chair.
The coach of the 1980´s Olympic hockey team Herb Brooks told others ¨Let me start with issuing you a challenge: be better than you are. Set a goal that seems unattainable, and when you reach that goal set another one even higher¨. Every journey starts with a goal and a journey to that goal helps improve many parts of ourselves. Like a growing business the closer it gets to the owner´s goal the products will become more and more detailed.
Ratcliff focused on hotspots in Philadelphia. To find these hotspots the researchers used violent crimes such as homicide, aggravated assault and robberies from the INCT database of the Philadelphia police report from 2006-2008. These measures have face validity since these are common violent crime that large cities have. The database used is a valid way to estimate crime but also does have limitations. The limitations of using official data from a police department is the not reported crimes that happen. Unreported crimes are a dark figure of crime and must be taken into consideration when using official data.
The expansion of Asian trade over the centuries originated in China due to the large cities and cultural centers that developed there. As these cities became interconnected through roads to transport military defenses, they were also used to trade goods and services. Goods such as, spices, teas, and silks, flourished in the climate specific to the area making these items especially difficult to acquire in Europe. Asian trade prospered over European trade due to the manufacture of luxury goods originating in the East.
“Corridors of Migration,” is about the odyssey of Mexican laborers during the period of 19600-1933. The book written by Rodolfo Acuna starts with the Spanish conquest of the America, portrays the factors that influenced Mexicans to migrate to the United States as well as the factors that pushed Mexicans out of the U.S. labor strikes and the corridors taken by Mexicans and their families. The aspects that influenced people to move can be seen as push, pull, and nativism that occurred due to the cause and effect of reactions of social and economic issues such as the Mexican Revolution of 1910, World World I, and mines as well as commercial agriculture. Moreover, the book illustrates strikes from the earliest in Arizona to the 1933 San Joaquin Valley Cotton Strike. In addition, Acuna shows the different corridors of Mexican Laborers and their families who struggle from the seventeenth-century in Chihuahua to the twentieth-century California and how they fought to form communities in the United States against racism,
I completed the Kuder Journey assessments and it seemed to go really well. Art Therapist showed up in my interest results along with AODA counselor and marriage therapist. I then took the skill test and it came up with Medical and Health Services Manager which I had considered for a time. Unfortunately, when I took the work values assessment and it came up with one career, Archivist, not even close. I felt a little deflated to say the least, not saying it isn’t a worthwhile career, but didn’t see it as something that would be a step on my path to self-actualization. I am probably going to continue with my path of Human Services as a major despite the outcome. I just am not sure if I am better served, or where I can make the best impact,
In documents 10.10 and 10.11, both Francis Xavier and Matteo Ricci write about their experiences as being Jesuits, Catholic missionaries, in Asia. Although having rather different techniques, they do both learn the ways and traditions of the people resulting in being more easily accepted and trusted by the natives. The approach used by Xavier was quite successful to me for the fact that he was well accepted and very thorough with explaining the Catholic religion to the people. He erased all of their doubt be answering the questions about how the Lord was a cruel creator and also allowing them to hear about the creation of the earth, heavens, sun, moon, stars, seas, and the world as a whole. Like Xavier, Ricci also delivered new information
Desert tortoises are one of the most iconic animals when it comes to associating it with the Mojave Desert. Unfortunately, these animals are on the threatened species list, as they face everyday threats that humans pose towards them. For example, One of the biggest issues the tortoise's face is the destruction of their natural lands. One of the main reasons why the tortoises are under threat of losing their habitats is due to the “urbanization and suburbanization from Los Angeles and Las Vegas”, resulting in “the increasing demand for landfill space” (“Mojave Desert”). Loss of habitat has an enormous impact on the species, as it can lead to fragmentation in the species, meaning the population would be broken up (“Threats To Desert Tortoises”).

Company Background: Samsung is a South Korean multinational company those starting its business as a small trading company and right now becoming world largest corporation. The company deals with its business in several sectors such as advance technology, finance, petrochemical, semiconductors, plant construction, skyscraper, medicine, fashion, hotels, chemical and others. The company was established in 1969 in Suwon, South Korea and known globally for its electronic products (Kelly, 2011). The company is manufacturing several latest technologies, electronic appliances such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, washers and other products. The company runs its operations and sales its products in 61 countries with approx 160,000 employees in all over the world (SAMSUNG, 2014).

Its sales revenue in the segment of LCD and LED is the highest in the world. Furthermore, Samsung also becomes world leader in the segment of tablets, mobile phones and gadgets.
In my conclusion, I would like to emphasize that SAMSUNG has a quite distinctive way to carry on its business. From the part of visible aspects, it has a different way to build up its image by emphasizing the blue color, while other competitors such as SONY and APPLE focus on the shape of logos to do the same thing. From another aspect of organizational culture, the invisible aspects, we can find its effort to be adjusting well to a society where the organization affects. It tries to contribute its profit to the society by offering an educational service, a welfare service and even some public performances and so on. Although, it has been obvious that such a large co-operation company like SAMSUNG has a responsibility to contribute its profit to make the society better, SAMSUNG`s profit contribution policy is very well-organized so, it can be a very own aspect that SAMSUNG has. Lastly, its managerial structure has an incredibly unique way to communicate to each other and get a new idea from people. It has a very strict hierarchical structure that is carried out by people in the organization all the time, but
Samsung is one of the world’s premium electronics manufactures. The estimated value of Samsung brand had risen from US$6.37 billion in 2001 to US$10.85 billion in 2003. A major factor behind this impressive growth had been Samsung’s effort to redefine itself as a vendor of cutting-edge, “gee-whiz” consumer technology. Samsung believed that repositioning the brand is a vital to the company’s future success.
