A Comparison between the Social, Political, and Business Environments of Turkey and Japan Essay

IntroductionTurkey, a country that got its roots from Central Asia, surprisingly enough doesnt share too many similarities with its distant neighbor, Japan. These differences are mainly due to differences in political stance, but they do share some random similarities within their culture as well as in points of their history. However, through this paper the socio-political factors along with economic and cultural factors of the two countries will be explored. This will be done by comparing and contrasting the two countries handling of constitutional and civic rights of people, analyzing their public policies and programs that assist in protecting these birth rights, as well as evaluating the citizen engagements in socio-political issues along with the degree of corruption and democracy within those countries. This exploration of the differences and similarities between Japan and Turkey will allow one to understand what truly sets these two countries apart that share many similarities within their culture.Analyzation of the Constitutional and Civic Rights of Citizens and MinoritiesTurkey and Japan both have a government type that is a unitary state. Although both are unitary states, Turkey is a parliamentary republic (Turkey at a Glance Government and Legal System, n.d.) whereas Japan is a constitutional monarchy (What Type of Government Does Japan Have?, n.d.). Both countries being a unitary state informs one that they both have a strong, centralized government where the government is the fundamental power in the country. However, Japans government practices unitary state by having a set monarch at the head of their country to lead the country while abiding by a certain constitution. In Japans case, their monarch is their Emperor. One can even say, Japan is the only empire left in the current world. Turkeys government, on the other hand, practices unitary state by having a republic instead of a monarchy. In Turkey, rather than having a single person as a monarch, uses the parliamentary system of democracy. That means its constitution is based on...

Character Analysis of Basil Hallward in The Picture of Dorian Gray, a Novel by Oscar Wilde Essay

The main character in The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dorian, is a man too easily influenced by his surroundings. He is quoted as saying, Basil Hallward is what I think I am Lord Henry is what the world thinks me Dorian is what I would like to bein other ages, perhaps (Wilde). This comparison falls in line with the moral of the story because Dorian is stuck with eternal youth and beauty even though he has a wicked soul. This causes different views of him by people who observe his daily life. Dorian is a sponge throughout the novel that absorbs everything and allows it to shape his personality, morals, and actions. Dorian Gray takes influence from Lord Henry, Basil Hallward, and the culture of society during which the novel was written. Lord Henry is the epitome of a wealthy, hedonistic gentleman seeking only pleasure, with little regard to cost or consequence. Lord Henry Wotton outwardly propounds hedonism, but it is his extreme egotism that drives him to manipulate both Basil Hallward a

Religious Symbolism in The Blessed Damozel, a Poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti Essay

Dante Gabriel Rossettis poem The Blessed Damozel is full of religious symbolism. There is talk of saints, and the poem itself takes place in heaven. But underneath the religious symbolism is a deep sensuality, that makes one wonder if the white rose of Marys gift referred to in line nine is the gift of Mary the Virgin, or the somewhat less virginal Mary Magdalene. While the Damozel is in heaven, her appearance in heaven, her behaviors in life, and what happens when she and her lover are reunited suggest some less than virginal dealings, yet the damozel is blessed and resides in heaven. Rossetti was the child of liberals kicked out of Italy a heavily catholic country for their extreme political views. While Rossetti himself was not political, he may have espoused similar views regarding politics and religion as his parents. In the poem The Blessed Damozel, Rossetti was given the chance to essentially create his own heaven. Most everything he wrote seems to show that Rossetti espoused

An Analysis of the Character of Chichikov in the Poem, Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol Essay

Dead Souls takes place in the Russia of the late 1800s, where, unlike in America, one must be born into a prosperous family in order to have opportunities. The main character, Chichikov, is clever enough to develop a scheme in which he can rise from being a petty clerk to a respected landowner. In order to do this, Chichikov moves into a new town, pretending to already be a landowner, and begins a quest to buy the names of dead serfs who have not yet been officially reported dead. Each person that Chichkov presents this offer to has a different reaction, starting with the shy and introverted Manilov. Though he does not understand Chichikov's need for the names of these dead serfs, Manilov is a character that is so desperate for company that it does not take any effort to trick him into selling his dead souls cheaply. However, as Chichikov continues his journey, he starts to deal with more clever landowners who become suspicious of his scheme. Chichikov finds that the townsmen know
