Four Asian Tigers

The four Asian Tigers: Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan have swiftly expanded through economics, industrialization, technology, and education. These countries were the first to transform from a developing nation into a newly industrialized nation (Cateora, 327). These regions, also known as the “East Asian miracles”, highly influenced the creation of China’s economy and trade relations. The four Asian Tigers’ economic boost and trade alliances, motivated the U.S. Trade Representative to develop a free trade agreement. Singapore and South Korea were the first to consent to the U.S. Trade Representative's offer and become apart of the free trade agreement (Cateora, 328). In turn, this arrangement has expanded not only China’s growth but has helped to develop surrounding nations as well. How did the four Asian Tigers rise out of a developing state? In general, each of the nation's government concentrated on economic expansion and knew a motivated and educated society played an important role in their development (Cateora, 329). Considering China is broken up into regions and each requires its own expansion and strategy, respectively, the regions had their own methods of development (Cateora, 319).…

The Tigers Alive “Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.” ― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shaw shank Redemption: A Story from Different Seasons The…

The White Tiger is a subspecies of a Tiger, found throughout the Indian subcontinent. Although the population of the White Tiger is humongous, these animals are super rare as their fur color is dependent on a defective and recessive gene that is passed down by their parents. Over the past couple of centuries, the White Tiger has become even more rarer in the wild due to hunting or capturing an exotic pet trade, with there having been no recorded sightings of these majestic beasts for the past 50…

Makenzie Jensen 10/19/17 3rd hour/Barker Personal Narrative Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!!!! The birds are singing from the tops of the trees. Butterflies fluttering around me. The stream babbling in the distance. All I can see is green for miles. And beyond that are the mountain tops painted in snow. The chilly air blows my long, luscious golden hair out of my face. Shivering, I wrap the thick wool blanket I’m holding around me tightly. I am staring at what would be the most perfect…

There is an old story about a lion that was raised by sheep. This lion would eat grass like sheep and graze the landside like sheep because in its mind, the lion was a sheep. Regardless of the surroundings, the lion attended to its identity as if it was a sheep. But, one day while they were moving through the valley, the lion heard a roar from the top of the mountain. When the lion looked up from the mountain and saw the lion it recognized something in the lion that was similar to itself that…

A fish, confined to the small waters of a round glass bowl, encompasses something much larger than itself. The same as a tiger, unrestrained, roaming the vast jungle. And the same as a human. Every living thing must meet some form of an end. Whether this pause is believed to be peaceful and positive or painful and agonizing is based upon experience; nevertheless, it is an inevitable limit that is one day attained by all. Siddhartha, a book of self discovery by author Hermann Hesse,…

When imagining the deadliest animal in the world, the faces that usually come to mind are that of a tiger, a snake, or maybe a shark. However, the most dangerous animal in the world does not have the claws of a tiger, the venom of a snake, or the teeth of a shark. This animal is measured in millimeters, produces hundreds of offspring from a single mother, and feeds off human blood. It is the mosquito. The most common species is culex pipiens, but there are others such as aedes aegypti, aedes…
