Japanese public corporations

Public is a Misnomer Public television, as it exists now in the United States, is funded, in part, by corporations. In discussion section 306 Joe mentioned that the Ford Motor Company is one of PBS’ big corporate sponsors (2016). The very definition of public television is that the content is publicly funded; whether through government grants, or public donations. A corporation stepping in to supply funding ruins the sanctity of the public broadcasting, by taking the bias out of what is produced

“Each year the United States spends .014% of its budget on public broadcasting. This amounted to approximately $445 million spent on funding towards public broadcasting in 2012.”(Defending Public Broadcasting Should Not Be Done Lightly) The funding was meant to help public broadcasting stations get to a state where they could support themselves on their own. However, many stations continued to take the funding even though they did not require it. Despite this, the stations that abused the funding

'Vast Wasteland'”, Laurie Ouellette and Justin Lewis critique how public broadcasting functions in the US. Liberal reformers hold to the view that television needs protection from commercialism. The liberal reformer view contains cultural and class hierarchies. They believe that public television is for the white, college-educated middle-class viewer who has “cultural capital”(Ouellette & Lewis, 96). As a result, funding for public broadcasting has gone primarily towards high culture and intellectual

funding to The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). In doing so, first we will explore several facets of this issue including first the cost of funding from both a governmental and taxpayer perspective. Secondly, understanding the services provided and the audience served is integral in this discussion. Lastly, we will consider government’s role in media and education. The conversation, however, must start with the history, values, and goals of this organization. It was The Public Broadcasting

ends however, is the question of surveillances effectiveness. Whereas some are convinced that our freedom and privacy is being violated, others maintain that the government is not the only issue, with corporations being in the surveying business, and a cultural perspective like that of the Japanese the whole notion of the issue of privacy. It could be our concern for privacy stems from our cultural development? And the American lifestyle is what should be examined. People in the Western

The psychological science behind the food industries ideas may seem positive to the consumer, but also proves how promoting the product is the main tactic in the corporation world.

is a political process by which an unofficial understanding is reached before a final decision is made on a particular matter. “Nemawashi” is Bottom-up style decision making (middle management has the greatest influence on decision making). The Japanese are primarily concerned with harmoniously working out problems without causing interpersonal frictions, such nemawashi is employed as simply informal lobbying to gain consensus before action.

For the American economy the future looks bleak. The future of the economy is for corporations to go global and it's happening right now. Many companies are outsourcing tasks to employees in foreign countries and getting rid of many jobs in America because they can make a bigger profit having other people in foreign countries perform the same work for less cost.

The average Japanese eats 200 calories less than the average American. The average American adult male eats 2,673 calories and the average American adult female eats 1,785.
