The Role of the Heath in Hardys Return of the Native Essay -- Return
The Role of the Heath in Hardy's Return of the Native "Nature is the most thrifty thing in the world; she never wastes anything; she undergoes change, but there is no annihilation, the essence remains - matter is eternal," philosophizes Horace Binney. Egdon Heath, in Thomas Hardy's Return of the Native, behaves as Nature does in this quotation -- it undergoes seasonal shifts, but its essential quality remains. The heath takes on the role of a static influence on the characters' relationships and circumstances, demonstrating the unchanging nature of human experience through its own seasonal shifts, but still unaltered essence of tragedy. As the story opens, it is November fifth, in the early winter. The beginning of winter is also the beginning of a troubled time for Thomasin. She goes with Wildeve to Anglebury to marry him in the morning of November fifth, but returns that evening, unmarried, in the back of the reddleman's wagon. Mrs. Yeobright, Thomasin's aunt and guardian, expresses her grief -- "When it gets known there will be a very unpleasant time for us" (49). Though it was not Thomasin's fault that she did not marry Wildeve, as there was a problem with the marriage license, people still consider it a scandal and a great disgrace to her and her family. This time of depression, in which Thomasin does not even leave the house out of shame, lasts until Thomasin finally does marry Wildeve, after an extended period of waiting. It is not until after Christmas that they finally wed. The depressing quality of the winter season reflects this dreary and disheartening time. Nature and seasonal changes reflect human natu re and situations on the heath. As spring, "the green or young fern period", begins, so does a relationshi... ...r, this time the night is darker, and the despair is greater. The heath ends Eustacia and Wildeve's life in Shadwater Weir as darkness closes in on the heath for the winter. The characters cannot control nature; it instead reflects their own relationships and situations. The seasons have come full circle and so has tragedy. The heath is back to its original state, as are Clym and Thomasin -- merely a bit older and a bit sadder, just as the heath itself. While the seasons change things for a time, the situation eventually reverts to its original state. The essence of the heath is tragic, and will always recover to that condition, just as human experience is unchanging. Indeed, "the untamable...thing that Egdon now was it always had been" and will always continue to be (14). Works Cited Hardy, Thomas. The Return of the Native. New York: Signet Classic, 1987.

Evaluation and Analysis of Jose Rizal as a Patriot Essay
Dr. Jose Rizal is a unique example of many-splendored genius who became the greatest hero of a nation. Endowed by God with versatile gifts, he truly ranked with the worldââ¬â¢s geniuses. He was a physician, poet, dramatist, essayist, educator, architect, historian, painter, linguist, ethnologist, surveyor, farmer businessman, economist, geographer, cartographer, folklorist, humorist, satirist, magician, inventor, translator, sportsman, and traveler. Above all of these, he was a hero and political martyr who consecrated his life for the redemption of his oppressed people. No wonder, he is now acclaimed as the national hero of the Philippines. THE BIRTH OF A HERO On June 19, 1861, the Mercado Family from the town of Calamba in the province of Laguna in the Philippines, happily greeted the birth of their newest member ââ¬â a baby boy born as the seventh child to proud parents Francisco Rizal Mercado y Alejandro and Teodora Alonza y Quintos. They named the bouncing baby boy Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado. Being the seventh of a brood of eleven, Jose Rizal Mercado demonstrated an astounding intelligence and aptitude for learning at a very young age when he learned his letters from his mother and could read and write at the age of five. THE FIRST POEM At an early age of eight, Rizal wrote his first poem entitled ââ¬Å"Sa Aking Mga Kababataâ⬠. Whenever people of a country truly love The language which by heavââ¬â¢n they were taught to use That country also surely liberty pursue As does the bird which soars to freer space above. For language is the final judge and referee Upon the people in the land where it holds sway; In truth our human race resembles in this way The other living beings born in liberty. Whoever knows not how to love his native tongue Is worse than any best or evil smelling fish. To make our language richer ought to be our wish The same as any mother loves to feed her young. Tagalog and the Latin language are the same And English and Castilian and the angelsââ¬â¢ tongue; And God, whose watchful care oââ¬â¢er all is flung, Has given us His blessing in the speech we calim, Our mother tongue, like all the highest tht we know Had alphabet and letters of its very own; But these were lost ââ¬â by furious waves were overthrown Like bancas in the stormy sea, long years ago This poem reveals Rizalââ¬â¢s nationalist sentiment. He proudly proclaimed that a people who love his native language will surely strive liberty and that Tagalog is equal to Latin, Spanish, English, and any other language. BEST STUDENT IN SCHOOL During his Bi SCHOLASTIC TRIUMPHS AT ATENEO DE MANILA First Year June 1872, being a newcomer and knowing little in Spanish, Rizal was placed at the bottom of the class. After the first week, he rapidly excelled and earned the title of the emperor. He was the brightest pupil of his class and he was awarded a religious picture as a prize. At the end of the year, he was placed second although his grades were still marked excellent. Second Year Having lost his class leadership on the previous year, he studied harder. Rizal received excellent grades and gold medal at the end of the year. Third Year June 1874. His grades remained excellent in all subject but he only won one medal ââ¬â in Latin. Fourth Year Inspired by his Jesuit professor, he topped all his classmates in all subjects and won five medals at the end of the school year. Last Year in Ateneo On his last year, he excelled in all subject and recognized as the ââ¬Å"Pride of Jesuitsâ⬠for he is the most brilliant Atenean of his time. LITERARY WORKS WRITTEN IN ATENEO After the release of his mother, Rizal wrote his first poem during his days in Ateneo entitled ââ¬Å"Mi Primera Inspiracionâ⬠which he dedicated to his mother on her birthday. FIRST INSPIRATION Why falls so rich a spray of fragrance from the bowers of the balmy flowers upon this festive day? Why from woods and vales do we hear sweet measures ringing that seem to be the singing of a choir of nightingales? Why in the grass below do birds start at the windââ¬â¢s noises, unleashing their honeyed voices as they hop from bough to bough? Why should the spring that glows its crystalline murmur be tuning to the zephyrââ¬â¢s mellow crooning as among the flowers it flows? Why seems to me more endearing, more fair than on other days, the dawnââ¬â¢s enchanting face among red clouds appearing? The reason, dear mother, is they feast your day of bloom: the rose with its perfume, the bird with its harmonies. And the spring that rings with laughter upon this joyful day with its murmur seems to say: ââ¬Å"Live happily ever after!â⬠And from that spring in the grove now turn to hear the first note that from my lute I emote to the impulse of my love. Poems on Education Rizal had a very high regard for education. His poem proved that he valued education so much that may give the power of the country to survive from any forces in the struggles of societal freedom . Through education, it creates the virtue of power to human race. This gives security and peace to the motherland as the Filipinos would learn the sciences and arts as the basis to calm down the life of the society. Also he believes that education without God is not true education. THROUGH EDUCATION OUR MOTHERLAND RECEIVES LIGHT The vital breath of prudent Education Instills a virtue of enchanting power; She lifts the motherland to highest station And endless dazzling glories on her shower. And as the zephyrââ¬â¢s gentle exhalation Revives the matrix of the fragrant flower, So education multiplies her gifts of grace; With prudent hand imparts them to the human race. For her a mortal-man will gladly part With all he has; will give his calm repose; For her are born all science and all art, That brows of men with laurel fair enclose. As from the towering mountainââ¬â¢s lofty heart The purest current of the streamlet flows, So education without stint or measure gives Security and peace to lands in which she lives. Where Education reigns on lofty seat Youth blossoms forth with vigor and agility; He error subjugates with solid feet, And is exalted by conceptions of nobility. She breaks the neck of vice and its deceit; Black crime turns pale at Her hostility; The barbarous nations She knows how to tame, From savages creates heroic fame. And as the spring doth sustenance bestow On all the plants, on bushes in the mead, Its placid plenty goes to overflow And endlessly with lavish love to feed The banks by which it wanders, gliding slow, Supplying beauteous natureââ¬â¢s every need; So he who prudent Education doth procure The towering heights of honor will secure. From out his lips the water, crystal pure, Of perfect virtue shall not cease to go. With careful doctrines of his faith made sure, The powers of evil he will overthrow, Like foaming waves that never long endure, But perish on the shore at every blow; And from his good example other men shall learn Their upward steps toward the heavenly paths to turn. Within the breast of wretched humankind She lights the living flame of goodness bright; The hands of fiercest criminal doth bind; And in those breasts will surely pour delight Which seek her mystic benefits to find, Those souls She sets aflame with love of right. It is a noble fully-rounded Education That gives to life its surest consolation. And as the mighty rock aloft may tower Above the center of the stormy deep In scorn of storm, or fierce Souââ¬â¢westerââ¬â¢s power, Or fury of the waves that raging seep, Until, their first mad hatred spent, they cower, And, tired at last, subside and fall asleep, ââ¬â So he that takes wise Education by the hand, Invincible shall guide the reigns of motherland. On sapphires shall his service be engraved, A thousand honors to him by his land be granted: For in their bosoms will his noble sons have saved Luxuriant flowers his virtue had transplanted: And by the love of goodness ever lived, The lords and governors will see implanted To endless days, the Christian Education, Within their noble, faith-enrapture nation. And as in early morning we behold The ruby sun pour forth resplendent rays; And lovely dawn her scarlet and her gold, Her brilliant colors all about her sprays; So skillful noble Teaching doth unfold To living minds the joy of virtuous ways. She offers our dear motherland the light That leads us to immortal gloryââ¬â¢s height. THE INTIMATE ALLIANCE BETWEEN RELIGION AND GOOD EDUCATION As the climbing ivy over lefty elm Creeps tortuously, together the adornment Of the verdant plain, embellishing Each other and together growing, But should the kindly elm refuse its aid The ivy would impotent and friendless wither So is Education to Religion By spiritual alliance bound Through Religion, Education gains reknown, and Woe to the impious mind that blindly spurning The sapient teachings of religion, this Unpolluted fountain-head forsakes. As the sprout, growing from the pompous vine, Proudly offers us its honeyed clusters While the generous and loving garment Feeds its roots; so the freshââ¬â¢ning waters Of celestial virtue give new life To Education true, shedding On it warmth and light; because of them The vine smells sweet and gives delicious fruit Without Religion, Human Education Is like unto a vessel struck by winds Which, sore beset, is of its helm deprived By the roaring blows and buffets of the dread Tempestuous Boreas, who fiercely wields His power until he proudly send her down Into the deep abysses of then angered sea. As the heavenââ¬â¢s dew the meadow feeds and strengthen So that blooming flowers all the earth Embrioder in the days of spring; so also If Religion holy nourishes Education with its doctrine, she Shall walk in joy and generosity Toward the good, and everywhere bestrew The fragrant and luxuriant fruits of virtue Religious Poems As being born and bred in a wholesome atmosphere of Catholicism. Rizal grew up a good Catholic. With his poems, he expressed his devotion to his Catholic faith. TO THE CHILD JESUS Why have you come to earth, Child-God, in a poor manger? Does Fortune find you a stranger from the moment of your birth? Alas, of heavenly stock now turned an earthly resident! Do you not wish to be president but the shepherd of your flock? TO THE VIRGIN MARY Mary, sweet peace and dearest consolation of suffering mortal: you are the fount whence springs the current of solicitude that brings unto our soil unceasing fecundation. From your abode, enthroned on heavenââ¬â¢s height, in mercy deign to hear my cry of woe and to the radiance of your mantle draw my voice that rises with so swift a flight. You are my mother, Mary, and shall be my life, my stronghold, my defense most thorough; and you shall be my guide on this wild sea. If vice pursues me madly on the morrow, if death harasses me with agony: come to my aid and dissipate my sorrow! LICEO ARTISTICO-LITERARIO On 1879, a society of literary men and artists held a literary contest. It offered a prize for the best poem by a native or a mestizo. Rizal who is still a student that time submitted his poem entitled ââ¬Å"A La Juventud Filipinaâ⬠. As the judges were impressed by his poem, they gave him the first prize which is a silver pen, feathered-shaped and decorated with ribbon. It was the first great poem written in Spanish by a Filipino. It expressed the nationalistic concept that the Filipinos and not the foreigners were the ââ¬Å"Fair Hope of Fatherlandâ⬠. A LA JUVENTUD FILIPINA Alza su tersa frente, Juventud Filipina, en este dà a! Luce resplandeciente Tu rica gallardà a, Bella esperanza de la Patria Mà a! Vuela, genio grandioso, Y les infunde noble pensamiento, Que lance vigoroso, Mà ¡s rà ¡pido que el viento, Su mente virgen al glorioso asiento. Baja con la luz grata De las artes y ciencias a la arena, Juventud, y desata La pesada cadena Que tu genio poà ©tico encadena. Ve que en la ardiente zona Do moraron las sombras, el hispano Esplendente corona, Con pà a sabia mano, Ofrece al hijo de este suelo indiano. Tà º, que buscando subes, En alas de tu rica fantasia, Del Olimpo en las nubes Tiernisima poesia Mas sabrosa que nectar y ambrosia. Tà º, de celeste acento, Melodioso rival Filomena, Que en variado concierto En la noche serena Disipas del mortal la amarga pena. Tà º que la pena dura Animas al impulso de tu mente , Y la memoria pura Del genio refulgente Eternizas con genio prepotente. Y tà º, que el vario encanto De Febo, amado del divino Apeles, Y de natura el manto Con mà ¡gicos pinceles Trasladar al sencillo lienzo sueles. Corred! que sacra llama Del genio el lauro coronar espera, Esparciendo la Fama Con trompa pregonera El nombre del mortal por la ancha espera. Dà a, dà a felice, Filipinas gentil, para tu suelo! Al Potente bendice Que con amante anhelo La ventura te envà a y el consuelo. Jose Rizal as a literary genius The literary aspect of Rizalââ¬â¢s works should commend itself to each of us as an inspiration to do our own duty. I think no man can read Rizalââ¬â¢s novels without feeling his powerful impulse of sympathy for and understanding of the people of this country. We can be moved not only by his profound reading of human nature, but we can also be inspired to emulate, if we may, the high level of talent for which his name will ever be famous in the history of literature. To the Filipino Youth Unfold, oh timid flower! Lift up your radiant brow, This day, Youth of my native strand! Your abounding talents show Resplendently and grand, Fair hope of my Motherland! Soar high, oh genius great, And with noble thoughts fill their mind; The honorââ¬â¢s glorious seat, May their virgin mind fly and find More rapidly than the wind. The first line, ââ¬Å"unfold, oh timid flower,â⬠implies that the youth is silent, maybe daunted, and consequently has not yet gone into full bloom for whatever reason there is that may have silenced them. In the beginning stanza, Rizal encourages the youth, by telling them to hold their heads highà for they possess talents and skills and abilities that would make their country proud. The second verse can be rearranged in contemporary English to say: ââ¬Å"Oh genius great, soar high; and fill their mind with noble thoughts. May their virgin mind fly and find the honorââ¬â¢s glorious seat more rapidly than the wind.â⬠Here, Rizal calls to genious to fill young minds with noble thoughts and hopes that as they release their thinking from the chains that bind, they may be able to soar swiftly high where the joy of honor is. Descend with the pleasing light Of the arts and sciences to the plain, Oh Youth, and break forthright The links of the heavy chain That your poetic genius enchain. Contrary to the second verse, which talked about ascending and soaring to the heights, this third stanza now talks about descent, and a downward motion of the great genius to fill the earthly strokes of art and science with their magnificent ideas. Again, Rizal calls them to break the chains that bind their intellect. ââ¬Å"Poetic geniusâ⬠here does not necessarily pertain to the talent of writing poetry. Instead, the term ââ¬Å"poeticâ⬠is simply an adjective to describe genius, meaning that it is deep and mystifying and heavy with meaning. See that in the ardent zone, The Spaniard, where shadows stand, Doth offer a shining crown, With wise and merciful hand To the son of this Indian land. Rizal challenges the youth, that in their pursuit of knowledge and wisdom they may humble the hand of Spain, whose proud chin did not look kindly upon the people whom they labelled as ââ¬Å"Indiosâ⬠and whom they treated with contempt. He dreams that in their journey to intellectual greatness they mayà humble even the proudest nations that look down on them and rightfully deserve ââ¬Å"a crown that shines, even where shadows stand.â⬠You, who heavenward rise On wings of your rich fantasy, Seek in the Olympian skies The tenderest poesy, More sweet than divine honey; You of heavenly harmony, On a calm unperturbed night, Philomelââ¬â¢s match in melody, That in varied symphony Dissipate manââ¬â¢s sorrowââ¬â¢s blight; In these two stanzas, Rizal calls the youth to seek the beauty of poetry and music, which he himself values greatly as essentials in every manner of life. He claims that poetry is ââ¬Å"more sweet than divine honey,â⬠and that music can ââ¬Å"dissipate manââ¬â¢s sorrowââ¬â¢s blight.â⬠You at thââ¬â¢ impulse of your mind The hard rock animate And your mind with great powââ¬â¢r consigned Transformed into immortal state The pure memââ¬â¢ry of genius great; Speaking to the youth, Rizal says that by the very impulse of their mind, they are capable of bringing to life or animating even someting as lifeless and unmoving as a hard rock. He continues to say that the youth is able, to immortalize their thoughts and their words through the help of great genius (as he has done himself. This stanza can be arranged in a more contemporary English structure as follows: ââ¬Å"You can animate the hard rock at the impulse of your mind; and transform, with the great power of your mind, the pure memory of great genius into immortality.â⬠And you, who with magic brush On canvas plain capture The varied charm of Phoebus, Loved by the divine Apelles, And the mantle of Nature; Rizal here addresses the youth, comparing their abilities to a magic brush that can capture even the most majestic views and the most glorious charms on a blank canvas. Run ! For geniusââ¬â¢ sacred flame Awaits the artistââ¬â¢s crowning Spreading far and wide the fame Throughout the sphere proclaiming With trumpet the mortalââ¬â¢s name Oh, joyful, joyful day, The Almighty blessed be Who, with loving eagerness Sends you luck and happiness. The last stanza is a charge, urging the youth to run, for a glorious crown awaits them. The ââ¬Å"sphereâ⬠here pertains to the world, showing that Rizal believed the Filipino youth is as brilliant as those in any other nation, and is able to contend with even the strongest powers if they only set their mind to making most of what they already have. Sa Aking mga Kababata Kapagka ang bayaââ¬â¢y sadyang umiibig Sa langit salitang kaloob ng langit Sanlang kalayaan nasa ring masapi Katulad ng ibong nasa himpapawid This first stanza in Rizalââ¬â¢s poem shows that long before he sprouted the first fruits of his youth, he had already placed distinguished value in theà importance of oneââ¬â¢s mother tongue. According to these verses, if a nationââ¬â¢s people wholeheartedly embrace and love their native language, that nation will also surely pursue liberty. He likens this idea to a bird soaring freely in the vast, eternal sky above. Pagkaââ¬â¢t ang salitaââ¬â¢y isang kahatulan Sa bayan, sa nayoââ¬â¢t mga kaharian At ang isang taoââ¬â¢y katulad, kabagay Ng alin mang likha noong kalayaan. Language here is likened to a people born into freedom. In Rizalââ¬â¢s time, Filipinos were held in slavery by Spain. Rizal, however, believed that if the people treasured and loved and used their mother tongue, it would become a symbol of relative freedom, and of identity. Ang hindi magmahal sa kanyang salita Mahigit sa hayop at malansang isda Kaya ang marapat pagyamanin kusa Na tulad sa inang tunay na nagpala It is here in these lines of verse that we find Rizalââ¬â¢s famous quote: ââ¬Å"He who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish.â⬠He further adds that Filipinos must work to make the language richer, and likens this endeavor to a mother feeding her young. The native tongue is now compared to a helpless child that must be nurtured in order to grow and flourish. Ang salita natiââ¬â¢y tulad din sa iba Na may alfabeto at sariling letra, Na kaya nawalaââ¬â¢y dinatnan ng sigwa Ang lunday sa lawa noong dakong una. These last lines may very well be referring to the Alibata, or the old Filipino alphabet whose characters are unique in every essence, finding no likeness in any other alphabet. The Tagalog language, according to Rizal, has letters and characters of its very own, similar to the way other ââ¬Å"eliteà tonguesâ⬠do. These letters, however, were overthrown by strong waves and lost, like fragile, fickle boats in the stormy sea, many long years ago.

The Security Of Our Nation - 1359 Words
Back then, when our nation was established, security was not an issue. The towns then were little and almost everyone knew their fellow neighbors and what was going on. The security of the individual is an essential right. Without protection, the vote based framework that we know would not exist. Protection is one of the central qualities on which our nation was established. There are special cases to the protection of our rights that are made by the requirement for resistance and security. In every country, the need to protect its citizens is basically the same. Security is a higher priority, which causes sacrifices to be made in order to obtain an unlimited protection against any rivals, without breaking into the individualââ¬â¢s privacy. Although there may be an issue; if society has a 100 percent privacy, it is really hard for governments to give people an excellent security. In an increasingly worldwide society, the government and its community struggle to find the proper balance between security and civil liberties, regardless the fact that privacy is an absolute necessity in a developed society like ours today. As a matter of fact, no one should have to accept less of one to get more of the other. There has to be a balance between the two of them.

Forensic evidence on Major criminal case Free Essay Example, 1250 words
Matt Zoellner, who was Hettrickââ¬â¢s ex-boyfriend, also testified during the trials hearings and investigations. However, for Matt Zoellner, it is agreeable that he did not qualify to testify against masters since he had also been previously suspected of the murder but ruled out. Furthermore, he was the last person to be seen with Hettrick before her body was discovered. According to how tough the case was, particularly due to lack of any shred of physical evidence linking Masters to the Murder; it is more than evident that the jury did not weigh the pieces of evidence presented heavily. This is because, throughout the investigations, Masters maintained his innocence even in the absence of an adult. To add on that, the two hairs and the anonymous fingerprints in Hettrickââ¬â¢s purse did not correspond Masters. Furthermore, some of the jurors had uncertainties about Masters guilt. The case also majorly concentrated on one suspect, Masters. Other suspects including Matthew Zoel lner and Dr. Richard Hammond were not investigated as such. For instance, Dr. Richard Hammond as a professional eye surgeon was highly connected to the murder.

Additionally, Hammonds bedroom window directly faced the scene where the dead body was found. The lack of further investigations or follow-ups by the investigators and the jury merely depicted that the forensic evidence were not heavily weighed. The author of the ââ¬Å"Peggy Hettrick murder caseâ⬠does have original direct source knowledge of the evidence because the key points and aspects in the article explains the various strengths and weaknesses of the all the evidence found, investigated, and used for final conviction. The author also effectively analyzes the situation by maintaining a balance in explaining some of the facts that were overlooked and those that directly connect to Masters, the primary suspect, to the murder. Moreover, the impartial analysis of the t estimonials, suspects, and how the jury reached their final verdict also depicts the author as unbiased and one who is trustworthy (Lichtenwald, 2009, p. 53). One of the most important aspects to note is that, as much as the forensic science applications for the Peggy Hettrick murder case were appropriate, the evidences were overlooked because Masters drawings and art could typically represent what he saw at the murder scene coupled with some personal problems he might have been battling with.

So, why does the addiction treatment profession refer to addiction as an incurable disease? Well, for one thing, it s good for business. Addiction treatment is a multi-billion dollar industry. Like any other corporate entity involving millions of dollars, there is a vested interest for many treatment centers to keep people coming back. During my own time spent in rehab, I was shocked to learn that many of my fellow patients had been admitted to rehab hospitals three or more times without success.

In particular, situation, India might require creating wherever among 8-10 billion pair believe annually inhabitants expansion. Combine mid-term position by 2020, the possible objective for Indian Footwear business determine balance expenditure prototype of 3-4 pair (Slater and Andriopoulos, 2013). Through six-seven times to leave, company require to balance our manufacture as of present stage of 2 billion pair to almost 5 billion pair next to a CAGR charge of 30-40%. Positively for us, India position No.1 in exploits Manufacture Company has the major reserve of cattle populace in the globe.

While opinion of employment in diverse segments of leather business. As rising country developed and commence to struggle worldwide on the power of nationally and profusely accessible labor at cheaper expenditure and urbanized country augmented their efficiency by advance in laborsaving equipment and as well by drumming low price labor from worldwide income (Slater and Andriopoulos, 2013).

Labors in general split of profits has drop and therefore dissimilarity are rising as inferior skill staff counting 75 million youthful populace expression redundancy, beneath employ and decline salary. MGI find this tendency assembly impetus and dispersion to budding financial system, as the worldwide labor energy advance 3.5 billion in 2030.

Internationally, there were main structural change in this divisionthe construct of leather goods are shoes, outfits and further mixed supplies migrate from developed country in the West to the rising country of the East in a big way, above all provoked by price deliberation. The disparities in salary were too huge to overpass by any technical development, mainly because the leather business is blue-collar (Special issue Multicultural marketplaces: new territory for international marketing and cross-cultural consumer research, 2013). 3.6 Market Entry Strategies Retail footwear section in Indian is extremely charge responsive and has been increasingly rising above the day.
