growth in New Zealand such as penal populism, public disenchantment with the current government, public attitudes towards crime and harsher sentences, and lobby groups. There have also been important explanations in the form of neo liberalism, political structures and inequality. I will examine these explanations in my essay. These two perspectives could be combined as there is a lot of overlap between the two ideas and the two rely on one another to exist. The increase in New Zealands prison…
Poverty is a serious problem in New Zealand, especially among children. The demographics in these statistics are strongly leaning towards the native Maori population. To be in poverty means to experience hunger and food insecurity, reduced life expectancy, poor health outcome, debt, and unaffordable or bad housing (NZCCSS). According to New Zealand Council of Christian Social Services, there are approximately 622,000 people in poverty in the country, which is about one in seven households. This…
analysis is for Dove to increase their understanding of the New Zealand skincare market. Although the market is small compared to the Australian and American market, New Zealand has still had a steady growth in sales across the years 2007-2012 with the average increase of 15 million dollars over the 5 year period (Euromonitor, 2013).

Sometimes I ask myself if I made the right decision you know…I think I did… I feel free here and in New Zealand I feel in peace.

Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party (ALCP) is the only party which has contested for a place in Parliament in every single General and By-election since MMP began in New Zealand in 1996 (Cannabis.org.nz). Their ideology is relatively straightforward; ‘The ALCP exists to legalise cannabis for recreational, spiritual, medicinal and industrial purposes’.

Quite the opposite; for the acceptance of failure brings with it a realisation to implement laws and regulations with the utmost care, and to learn from past mistakes- and there has been huge ones. One such example is the leaky homes crisis in New Zealand. The passing of the Building Act 1991 brought about over 11 billion dollars of damage and counting, due to its movement in stance to that of a more self regulating framework for builders and councils. It is still a huge ongoing problem. More…
involvement and support. For example, James Cameron, one of the elite in the film industry, has announced that the next three sequels of the film Avatar will be shot in New Zealand. This will assist in promoting New Zealand and therefore allow our tourist industries to benefit. The Legend of the Seeker is another example of a New Zealand based television show that has brought social, cultural and economic benefits as well as implications to the individual, organisation and wider creative…
complex world around them (Hofstede, 2001). Although the country itself is not statistically analysed on Hofstede’s website (Hofstede, n.d.), the surrounding countries of Macedonia are, they all display a low individualism score when contrasted to New Zealand.
