The existing culture was inconsistent with ours. In a North American environment you can decide whom to keep after an acquisition at a cost you can determine in advance on the basis of case law. In France, the only certainty is that you cannot replace the employees. You are acquiring the entity as a going concern. Unless you do certain things, you simply inherit the employees, including their legal rights based on prior service. To be able to reduce…

The situation currently happening in Europe that many have dubbed the “Refugee Crisis” has been a topic of discussion and division for some time. The events that have recently transpired in Paris has not helped the climate of the situation, instead it has alienated and radicalized both sides of the crisis. This situation has also crossed the Atlantic because many American politicians are adamant about taking in refugees. Before going into the main points it is imperative that we define our terms…

Hundreds upon thousands of refugees, Syrians in particular, flood into Europe from their war-torn lands searching for a place of solace. Many people believe that helping these refugee seekers should be a priority, but others believe that they should be sent back to where they came from because one among thousands might be a terrorist. The refugees seeking asylum can not be turned away because people are afraid that one may be a terrorist. Accepting refugees will help the economy, and if not…

Globalization Impacts due to Immigration in Germany Since the 1980’s Germany has had the largest influx of immigrants compared to any other country in the world.

Some people say that telling the truth does more harm than good; yet if someone went around asking people whether they would want to know the truth rather than a lie most people’s answer would be truth.

In “The Jewelry”, by Guy de Maupassant, through the marriage and death of M. Lantin’s first wife the reader sees the pros and cons of M. Lentin realizing the truth about…

The way in which issues are framed, that is, defining what factors are considered issues at all, is instrumental in determining whether a problem will be truly solved, or if instead a pseudo problem is simply solved instead. A limited frame is what inhibits policy makers from truly being able to address the core issues of many problems today, thus causing uncertainty, ineffective policies, and offense to many. Perhaps one of the most skewed framings is the one of immigration. In “The Framing of…

“Their bodies lie bare and afloat only to announce their coming but never their presence.” The life of an immigrant is often in danger, physically or mentally. Whether crossing the US/Mexico border, barely staying afloat in the Mediterranean, reliving their trauma while applying for citizenship, or leaving their loved ones behind, almost every experience of migration is unimaginably difficult.
