问答题Powering the great ongoing changes of our time is the rise of human creativity as the defining feature of economic life. Creativity has come to be valued because new technologies, new industries and new wealth flow from it. And as a result, our lives and society have begun to echo with creative ideas. It is our commitment to creativity in its varied dimensions that forms the underlying spirit of our age. Creativity is essential to the way we live and work today, and in many senses always has been. The big advances in standard of living — not to mention the big competitive advantages in the marketplace — always have come from "better recipes, not just more cooking". One might argue that"s not strictly true. One might point out, for instance, that during the long period from the early days on the Industrial Revolution to modern times, much of the growth in productivity and material wealth in the industrial nations came not just from creative inventions like the steam engine, but from the widespread application of "cooking in quantity" business methods like massive division of labor, concentration of assets, vertical integration and economies of scale. But those methods themselves were creative developments.

问答题These 40 leading industrialized countries emitted 2.3 percent more greenhouse gases (GHG) from 2000 to 2006. Massive floods deep below Antarctica's ice cover are accelerating the flow of glaciers into the sea. These two pieces of news came a couple of weeks before the Dec. 1 UN Climate Change Conference in Poznan, Poland. But unfortunately they went almost unnoticed in the media busy as they were grappling with the global financial crises. Call it quirk of the modem world's fate, or our incapability to look beyond the immediate. We are so ensconced in the comforts of our times that nothing beyond the immediate can break our stupor. R's true, global warming made a few headlines before the financial crisis spread its wings from the US and cast a shadow of gloom over the rest of the world. But our response has always been knee-jerk.

问答题Role of Customs Agencies When importing goods into any country, a company must be totally familiar with the customs operations of the importing country. In this context, customs refers to the countrys import and export procedures and restrictions, not its cultural aspects. The primary duties of the US Customs Service, for example, are the assessment and collection of all duties, taxes, and fees on imported merchandise, the enforcement of customs and related laws, and the administration of certain navigation laws and treaties. As a major enforcement organization, it combats smuggling and frauds on the revenue and enforces the regulations of numerous other Federal agencies at port of entry and along the land sea borders of the United States. An importer needs to know how to clear goods, the duties that must be paid, and special laws that exist. When merchandise reaches the port of entry, the importer must file documents with customs officials in which a tentative value and tariff classification are assigned to the merchandise. The US govemment has over 10 000 tariff classifications, and about 60/% of them are subject to interpretation. That is, a particular product could fit more than one classification. In these cases, customs officials examine the goods to determine whether there are any restrictions on their importation. If there are none, the importer pays the duty and the goods are released. The amount of the duty depends on the products country of origin, the type of product, and other factors. A broker or other import consultant can help an importer minimize import duties by doing the following : (1) Valuing products in such a way that they qualify for more favorable duty treatment. Different product categories have different duties. Finished goods usually have a higher duty than do parts and components. (2)Qualifying for duty refunds through drawback provision. Some exporters use in their manufacturing process imported parts and components on which they paid a duty. In the United States, the drawback provision allows exporters to apply for a refund of 99/% of the duty on the imported goods, provided the goods are used in the manufacture of goods that are exported. (3) Deferring duties by using bonded warehouses and foreign trade zones. Companies do not have to pay duties on imports stored in bonded warehouses and foreign trade zones until the goods are removed for sale or used in a manufacturing process. (4) Limiting liability by properly marking an imports country of origin. Governments assess duties on imports based in part on the country of origin, a lower duty on an import may be had by ensuring that the imports country of origin is accurate. In the United States, if an article or its container is not properly marked when it enters the country, a marking duty equal to 10/% of the customs value of the article is assessed. A direct identification drawback is permitted on imported merchandise that is actually used to manufacture goods for export, provided the imported goods are not used for final consumption domestically and are exported within a certain period of the import date. Sometimes domestic merchandise is substituted for merchandise that was imported for eventual export, in which case substitution drawback is permitted for duties on the imported merchandise.

问答题Society exists through a process of transmission. This transmission occurs by means of communication of habits of doing, thinking, and feeling from the older to the younger. So obvious is the necessity of teaching and learning for the continued existence of a society that we may seem to be dwelling excessively on a self-evident truth. But justification is found in the fact that such emphasis is a means of getting us away from an unduly scholastic and formal notion of education. Schools are, indeed, one important method of the transmission which forms the dispositions of the immature; but it is only one means, and, compared with other agencies, a relatively superficial means. Only as we have grasped the necessity of more fundamental and persistent modes of tuition can we make sure of placing the scholastic methods in their true context. Society not only continues to exist by transmission, by communication, but it may fairly be said to exist in transmission, in communication. All communication (and hence all genuine social life) is educative. To be a recipient of a communication is to have an enlarged and changed experience. One shares in what another has thought and felt and in so far, meagerly or amply, has his own attitude modified. Nor is the one who communicates left unaffected. Try the experiment of communicating, with fullness and accuracy, some experience to another, especially if it be somewhat complicated ,and you will find your own attitude toward your experience changing; otherwise you resort to swearwords and exclamations. The experience has to be formulated in order to be communicated. To formulate requires getting outside of it, seeing it as another would see it considering what points Of contact it has with the life of another so that it may be got into such form that he can appreciate its meaning. Except in dealing with commonplaces and catch phrases one has to assimilate, imaginatively, something of another's experience in order to tell him intelligently of one's own experience. All communication is like art. It may fairly be said, therefore, that any social arrangement that remains vitally social, or vitally shared, is educative to those who participate in it. Only when it becomes cast in a mold and runs in a routine way does it lose its educative power.
