This provided Honda to achieve a highly competitive cost position which they used to penetrate into the US market. " The basic philosophy of the Japanese manufacture is that high volumes per model provide the potential for high productivity as a result of using capital intensive and highly automated techniques.

- 3394: Great Gatsby: Theme And Character Anlysis Of Tom And Daisy
- ... and the struggle that ensues is the most suffusive theme throughout The Great Gatsby .

- 3396: The Clinton Sex Scandal
- ... it make traditional journalists feel? Uneasy? Tainted? The Clintn/Lewinsky scandal is that kind of story; nasty and dirty. But more than that perhaps, they are acting recklessly, and people like Drudge, operating in the high-speed, high-competition world of the Web, aren't pushing us that way. For instance, Jan. 23, just a couple of days into the Clinton/Lewinsky crisis, when it was still just two people who both said ... they were clearly wrong. No matter how many hour long Investigating the President specials CNN runs, it seems that the Lewinsky affair is the "Little Scandal that Couldn't." Yet the press, for all its highminded condemnations of Clintonian morality, certainly cannot look to anyone but itself for the public's current lack of concern, since their focus has in some ways created the problem. The implications of the ...

- 3398: Hard Times 3
- ... Gradgrind had inquired whether or not she might have had another proposal which he was unaware of: You have never entertained in secret any other proposal (79). This led to Louisa revealing how her fathers school of facts had not permitted her to explore with her own emotions : Father...what other proposal can have been made to me? Whom have I seen? Where have I been? What are my hearts experiences (79). Louisa continues on explaining that he should have known better than to ask such a question, considering she has never been able to question or wonder past his school of facts : Why father...what a strange question to ask me....You have been so careful of me, that I never had a child s heart. You have trained me so well, that I never ... home descend upon her. The dreams of childhood - its airy fables; its graceful, beautiful humane, impossible adornments of the world beyond ... - what had she to do with these? (149).

- 3399: Catch 22 And Good As Gold - Sa
- ... wrote about the catch saying this " Catch-22 is the principle that informs the military-economic machine, giving it power and making war possible in the first place . . . the illogical must be done because the high command [Catch-22] says it is logical" (229). The title of Good as Gold is also ironic. It is because Good as Gold is the name of the contemporary Jewish novel that Professor Gold writes ... a certain element of irony although it is less apparent. The characters of the White House seem to take their job lightly and do the improper things. The offering of a White House job as high-level as the Secretary of State to Professor Gold by Ralph Newsome, the presidential aide, simply because the president liked Gold’s book on him is ironic and a excellent example of satire. In Catch-22 Heller also portrays characters that hold high level positions in the military as being incompetent and irresponsible.

- ... that regular social life needs conflict. I am sure that there are many more theories but these are the most important. The first and earliest theory on what makes a criminal came from the classical school. They said that crime is caused by the individual's exercise of his or her own free will. The best possible deterrents to crime with this theory were swift punishments that counter any gain that the criminal obtained. This school of though has remained around and has even re-emerged into the “neoclassical criminology.” The next theories were all biological, as is the name of the school. In this theory all crime is genetically based. If you are a criminal, it is said in your genes. Phrenology came from this theory, which is the study of the head to determine a ...
