- 802: The Financial Effects of Monetary Policy on Interest Rates
- ... interest rates will increase by an amount equal to, and specified by, the increased rate of inflation and increased rate of growth of the money supply. Evidence The liquidity effect can be examined in the short-run analysis of the monthly regression (80-99), as well as the annual regression (80-99). According to Darby, immediately after the money supply is increased, the result will be a fall in the nominal ... negative coefficient of –8.15, indicating that the liquidity effect is occurring once again. However, since this is a yearly regression, Darby’s argument is not upheld. His theory maintains the liquidity effect as a short-run phenomenon that is displaced over time.

- 803: Japanese Human Resource Manage
- ... is not easily allocated in a different company even though it might be the case that they are in the same industry. Individual performance evaluation is a long-term basis and thus much less about short-term results and more about a steady improvement of one s potential. This evaluation is made by numerous superiors who themselves at one time were the subordinates, assuming that both the appraiser and the appraised ... will work for quite some time. Evaluation is for two related purposes, promotion and remuneration. It is then a complex task that can be handled neither by an individual superior nor on the basis of short-term considerations. It can only be handled over time and collectively. It is no accident that managerial experience with human resources is valued substantially higher in Japan than in the West. Japanese CEO s regard ... employees to develop their careers through long-term association with the firm. Regular Employment in Japan Postwar Japan saw its population increase from 75 to 125 million while achieving respectable affluence, and its economy, though short on natural resources, reach the second in the world in terms of gross national product. Favorable circumstances were indeed at work, but credit must go to the Japanese people too. Japanese human resources are ...
- 804: Chaucer's "The House of Fame": The Cultural Nature of Fame
- ... the "fame" of these works can easily become annihilated. The arrival of new readers with different ideals and thereby changing tradition, can reject classical or "canonical" work and their "fame" will melt into nothingness. Most stories, histories and legends that emerge from oral heroic poetry are to herald the achievement of the powerful and wealthy so that their histories will not fade from the memories of the population. The stories of Beowolf are a clear example of this, as within these stories, (whether embellished or no), Beowolf's fame and legend reaches the modern reader hundreds of years later. Clearly, Beowolf is still very much dependant on the conventions of oral traditions and written to leave ...

These men forged the way for how ... history of the United States and Europe, by taking first person accounts of the war and combining them with military facts surrounding World War II. Ambrose's war novel is based upon the numerous letters, stories, and interviews of the American soldiers who fought in World War II.

Wray made it back to the company area to report on what he had seen. His clothes were tattered and bloodied. This one a "brief" and abbreviated example of some of stories contained within Citizen Soldier, that show how men triumphed and at what cost.

- 806: A Christmas Memory Vs. The Gra
- The two stories, “A Christmas Memory” and The Grass Harp are strikingly similar due to the fact that Truman Capote wrote both stories. The settings of both stories are very similar.

- 808: The Heat Death Of The Universe
- ... it were their own little world , creating tunnel vision to the array of the actual real world and all the things that occur in it. Pamela Zoline addresses this and many other issues in the short story, The Heat Death of the Universe . This piece reports the abstract, somewhat crazy thoughts, of the world from an ordinary housewife to the reader. At first, these thoughts appear to be coming from a ... In addition to these notes, rarely does Sarah ever talk about her family; which is highly contrary to the expectations of the common housewife. When she does refer to her family, the statements are quite short, uncaring, and undescriptive. Today is the birthday of one of the children (192). Speaking of her family life, never does she mention a husband. Sarah only makes remarks of a questionable nature about her children, she doesn t seem to display the motherly love or compassion one would expect; in fact, several places in the short story, the comment is made that Sarah Boyle is never quite sure how many children she has (196). This comment leaves the reader confused and, in addition to the numerous derogatory and confusing references ...
