Emerging church

Christianity faces a major threat today, but it does not come from without; it comes from within. Many have labeled this threat as the “emerging church” movement. This is a reformist movement within Christian-oriented circles primarily characterized by protest (Carson 9, 14, 25). Few have taken up the task of discussing this movement in detail, but in D.A. Carson’s work on the subject, he exhaustively covers the movement and what it means for Christian-oriented people. Carson succeeds in this task, but there are several drawbacks that ought to be weighed concerning this work. D.A. Carson, the author of this book, is a well-educated individual. He has a Bachelor of Science from McGill University, a Masters of Divinity from the Central Baptist…

A key factor of sovereignty lies in the status of its external recognition; according to Li and Zhou: financial sovereignty is a component of sovereignty itself and therefore is “…composed of financial sovereign status, financial sovereign authority, and financial sovereign capability.”(Li and Zhou, p. 178). Sovereign status, being based on the recognition and consent of other states, should not be affected by globalization of financial capitalism, leaving the other two components from Li and…

As the economies of developing countries continue to grow and strengthen, multinational companies are beginning to realize the potential in their quickly growing markets. However, the technique to reach these markets is not easily realized to those used to innovating for advanced, wealthy markets in the “developed” world. More difficult still is creating into a product that does well in both types of markets, a process called “reverse innovation”. Unlike reverse engineering, where you try to…

Reflection Helping Them or Hurting them During the past years, there has been a lot of material and perspectives regarding the role of aid from developed nations to developing nations. How the undeveloped nations need to look up to the developed ones and follow their lead, do exactly as they did. The common factor about this week’s readings is that every country needs to walk their own path towards development. Here, I would like to emphasize their own path. For instance, how each…

What sectors will outperform in emerging markets over the next decade? Many emerging markets benefit from a relatively stable political and business environment and an abundant supply of inexpensive labor. These conditions have provided them a competitive advantage in industries such as manufacturing, which allow them to mount the first rungs on the ladder of development. The establishment of factories within these nations spurs export-driven economic growth, initially, but as income rises,…

of the organization. Politics, legal system, culture and the society in general play a crucial role in mapping out the organizations strategy especially in emerging markets. Peng & Khoury (2008) stated that the issues of institutional constraints need to be addressed in the forefront of international business theory and need not be considered as part of the background or underpinnings. In support of their argument Peng, Wang & Jiang (2008) used four cases to illustrate the absolute…

Emerging countries have the moral basis to claim Aid from Wealthier nations. High-income countries have the moral obligation to help them. For the hammer and the imposition of an economic order, that day by day affect developing countries, decreasing the quality of life of their people. In 1970, a new economic model was implemented, called “globalization,” a model that integrates and regulate how the international community interact. This trade agreement represents an agreement between states…

Art is a mechanism by which the artist turns the simple into the phenomenal, the static into the dynamic, the two dimensional into the three dimensional, and can be looked at through the lens of Gestalt psychology--the concept that the work as a whole is different from the sum of its individual parts. Based on the current, Western perception of progress, society can be broken into collections of nations and regions that form pseudo classes or castes--the most distinct being the Emerging…
