Global marketers must understand local cultures to incorporate cultural insights into marketing plans. Culture includes both material and nonmaterial aspects like attitudes, beliefs, and values. These are shaped by social institutions like family, education, and religion. High- and low-context cultures differ in their communication and business practices. Hofstede's model analyzes cultures along dimensions like power distance, individualism vs collectivism, and masculinity vs femininity. Understanding these cultural dimensions helps marketers develop appropriate branding and messaging for different countries and regions.Work ethic in japan

Exposure to radiation can cause various health effects depending on the dosage. A dose of 25 rems may cause detectable changes in blood work, while doses over 100 rems risk radiation sickness with symptoms like nausea and vomiting. Exposure over 300 rems can cause temporary hair loss but more internal harm, and doses over 800 rems are always fatal. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed many from radiation exposure rather than the explosions directly. Major nuclear accidents like Chernobyl and Three Mile Island exposed workers and communities to radiation due to cooling system failures and reactor explosions, demonstrating radiation's health risks. Currently there is no effective medical treatment for high radiation doses.July 18 july_24_possible_health_effects_of_nu

The document discusses the potential health effects of radiation exposure from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant crisis. It explains that ionizing radiation can break chemical bonds and cause cancer if exposure levels are high enough. Initial symptoms of radiation sickness include nausea, fatigue and vomiting, while very high exposure leads to organ damage, loss of consciousness and death. Certain radioactive isotopes like Cesium-137 and Iodine-131 are especially dangerous if ingested due to accumulation in soft tissues and the thyroid gland. The document provides exposure levels in microsieverts that correspond to different health effects ranging from mild sickness to death.Article 3

The Indian Ocean Tsunami warning system detects potential tsunamis through a network of seismographic and ocean monitoring stations across the Indian Ocean. When an earthquake occurs, data is transmitted to warning centers in Hawaii and Japan to analyze and issue watches or warnings. National warning agencies are meant to communicate these to other countries, though coordination could be improved. At the local level, organizations work to educate communities on tsunami safety and how to respond to warnings.Radiation effect on_humans

Exposure to radiation can cause various health effects depending on the dosage. Doses of 25 rems or more can impact blood and higher doses may cause radiation sickness. Doses over 300 rems can cause temporary hair loss and internal harm, while doses of 800 rems or more are always fatal. Many victims of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings died from radiation exposure rather than the explosions directly. There is currently no effective medical treatment for potentially fatal radiation doses.Radiation effect on_humans

The document discusses the effects of radiation exposure on humans and some historical radiation accidents. It begins by defining the unit of measurement for radiation dosage as the rem. Exposure between 25-100 rems can cause detectable changes in blood but usually no immediate harm, while over 100 rems risks radiation sickness. Doses over 300 rems cause hair loss and internal harm, and over 800 rems is always fatal. It then summarizes the radiation effects of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, the Chernobyl accident, and the Three Mile Island incident. The document concludes that current medical treatment is ineffective against potentially fatal radiation doses, so prevention of radiation accidents is important.July 18 july_24_possible_health_effects_of_nu

Ionizing radiation from nuclear plants and explosions can damage human health by breaking chemical bonds and causing cancer. The effects depend on exposure time, with initial symptoms being nausea and fatigue and higher exposures potentially causing organ damage, loss of consciousness, and death. Two types of radiation produced by nuclear reactions - cesium-137 and iodine-131 - are especially dangerous as they can accumulate in food and water and irradiate the body from inside over long periods of time due to their long half-lives. Exposure levels over 500,000 microsieverts can make people sick within hours or weeks depending on dose.How the indian_cean_tsunami

The document summarizes how the Indian Ocean tsunami warning system works. Following the devastating 2004 tsunami, an early warning system was created by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission. A network of seismographic and ocean monitoring stations was established across the Indian Ocean to detect potential tsunamis. Data is transmitted to warning centers in Hawaii and Japan who analyze it to determine the size of earthquakes and issue watch alerts. Countries share data and responsibility for monitoring and warning. However, technology does not reach all areas and warnings may not be understood by all, presenting ongoing challenges to providing effective warnings.How the indian_cean_tsunami

- 1. Cultural customization of websites for Japanese subsidiaries of global companies s1180192 Masashi Hashimoto
- 2. What is Japanese Cultural Customization ? Japanese Culture and online consumer 1. Collectivism 2. Uncertainty Avoidance 3. Power Distance 4. Masculinity 5. High Context
- 3. Japanese Culture and Values It is very important that customization of websites for Japanese exploit the concept of Japanese culture and values. Japan is a traditional society with symbols , ritual , values and an intricate contextual elements. At a macro level, Japanese culture can be described five values. 1. Individualism-collectivism 2. Power Distance 3. Masculinity-Femininity 4. High-low context 5. Uncertainty
- 4. Collectivism Japanese are very important community relations and family. And they think much of the public image. For example Culture customization, ? If shop website would be better off Showing the image that everybody can shop with a light heart.
- 5. Uncertainty Avoidance As Japan is very risk-averse society. It is important to reduce risk, anxiety and uncertainty that Japanese consumers might have shopping online.
- 6. Power Distance Japan is collectivism society and Japan is rooted in tradition , hierarchy and both social customs and role structure. In this society being aware of social hierarchal structure is important so many Japan society official website display the CEO¡¯s message and depicts them with high honor and respect.
- 7. Masculinity-Femininity Many Japanese people want to succeed , challenge and at the same time conform to the group norm a not stand out. They want to attain the ultimate in my hobby and something skill.
- 8. High Context In Japanese culture is very hung up context and accepting of graphics, color and image to add depth and context to the communication. And In Japan certain colors carry specific meaning. So color image is different for different types of color For example ¨C Red : the color of luck ¨C Yellow : the Japanese color of courage
