This study addresses the ethics of the South African emigration at present from a Christian ethical perspective. In the first place it evaluates the Christian ethical principles, different ethical systems as well as the human rights relevant to the subject under discussion. Secondly, the most commonly used reasons and motivations for emigration are discussed and further evaluated in the light of the relevant principles, systems and human rights. It concludes that emigration should not be considered without taking into account the important individual responsibilities in the country of birth and the possibility that reality in a foreign country may turn out to be different than expected. As Christians we are called to a life of service in the name of the Triune God and for as long as that is possible in our country of birth and our right to life is not in danger, we should not make the decision to emigrate lightly. / Thesis (M.A. (Ethics))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

Abstract At a time when the discussion of feminism is hot in the media, in the schools and in the cottages so I have been interested in how feminist worlds order might look like and what are the roads there. There are plenty of barriers in the community, some of them you easily could influence. This essay problematize and define the problems behind the difficulties of reaching a feminist world order, but also the factors that are important to achieve this world order. How colonization that began several hundred years ago spread and secured the patriarchal society and its influence all the way to the society of today. But even more immediate factors, on how we ourselves are involved in shaping our society in terms of where we live, how we educate ourselves, and what jobs we choose. Status symbols in society as economics, profession and political influence are all to be reckoned with when it comes to influencing society. Women are limited in some of these areas in various ways; this means segregation in society and loss of freedom and knowledge. I am using a literature study to investigate what today's prominent geography researchers and other scientists have to say about a feminist society. Many books and studies have been plowed through to highlight the problems of all people in the same society does not have the same opportunities. Many of these scientists are positive and indicate that minor changes in society could give feminism a boost. For many developing countries it is important to educate women and create a gender family planning. An education will give new perspectives and will show that there is more to life than being a mother. For many developed countries it is important to let the woman participate in male-dominated industries and vice versa. Equal responsibility for the children will give more chance to improve gender equality in the economy, and the doors will open even into the political realm.

World Social Forum annual events attract hundreds of thousands of global activists and members of Global Civil Society. WSF events coalesce a diverse group of social movements, NGOs, and global activists. Its open space politics is an inclusionary force that is outlined by the principles of the WSF charter. Each event occurs in a location whose contextual and environmental conditions greatly impact the outcomes of the events. Assessing the success of these individual events is multidimensional and is largely determined by their adherence to WSF charter principles. Under investigation are three case studies of events that are held in Porto Alegre, Mumbai, and Nairobi. Success for each event is largely dependent on local factors. The local variables of the state, funding, trade unions, and local civil society all impact outcomes in myriad ways. Porto Alegre is an ideal setting for WSF events but is not the only attractive venue. / Graduate

Over the last decade, globalization has influenced organizations to see the world as a market as well as a source of competition. Under this view, studies by May (1997), Brake (1997), McKenna (1998), Morrison (2000), Stanek (2000) and Suutari (2002) have expressed the need to develop "global leaders" who are a new breed of managers. In order to develop "global leaders", organizations need to identify a new set of competencies for their managers. It is the role of human resource managers to develop these competencies. / This paper aims to review the literature examining how globalization has shaped organizational strategies to achieve competitive advantage, and how this presents a new challenge for their human resource practitioners to develop global leaders. As the full impact of globalization becomes a reality for developing countries in Asia, this paper draws the conclusion that more research is needed to find out the strategies needed for developing global leaders, particularly in an Asian and Malaysian context. / Thesis (DoctorateofBusinessAdministration)--University of South Australia, 2007.
