I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Analysis of Gail Tsukiyama’s novel The Samurai’s Garden. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The Samurai’s Garden This story has three main characters, Stephen, Matsu and Sachi. Each one of them is plagued with loneliness that has affected their life. This trio develops a friendship and with each having a unique strength and a weakness they come together and achieve happiness despite their hardships and suffering that they would not have achieved on their own. Stephen is sent to his grandparents’ beach house in Tarumi so that he will recover from his tuberculosis and to prevent him from infecting his younger sister, Penelope (Tsukiyama 20). When Stephen moves to Tarumi, he thinks he will die of boredom and homesickness but things take a different course from his thoughts. His love for painting that he had thought would keep him busy when he is bored actually brings him friends. When he arrives in Tarumi, the caretaker of their beach house in Tarumi whose name is Matsu receives him. Matsu not only nonchalant about Stephen’s arrival but seems unhappy with the intrusion. He only engages a talk with Stephen when necessary. While in there, Stephen matures and falls in love with a Japanese maiden by the name Keiko. However, this love is short lived to their racial differences and the Keiko’s father hate towards Chinese for killing his son, who was among the Japanese soldiers fighting. Stephen’s respect for his father stops when discovers that he has an extramarital affair that he is not intending to stop and this breaks the marriage of his parents (Tsukiyama 85). Matsu warms up towards Stephen probably from what he was going through and he even invites him to go visit a friend of his called Sachi. Sachi is put across as the character that has been through the most severe torture and isolation. She was Tomoko’s, Matsu’s sister, best friend. They use to play together when they were young. Tomoko developed a rush that was later diagnosed as leprosy. Rather than bring shame to her family, she chose to take her own life (Tsukiyama 156). She discovered that she had developed the same rash but unlike her late friend, had no guts to commit suicide (Tsukiyama 137). Her parents and fiance reject her and only Matsu is empathetic with her. She is forced to live in exile with lepers like herself in a lepers’ village called Yamaguchi with no freedom to interact with the rest of the society. At first, she is scared of the other lepers due to how they are disfigured but with time, she begins to feel at home thanks to Matsu’s encouragement. Her once beautiful self is disfigured to a point of being rated as ugly. The only person who visits her is Matsu and it seems she is alive because of him and for him. It could be that with time Sachi found out that Matsu needed her as much as she needed him. Matsu’s life seems to be full of contentment in the quiet village of Tarumi. However it seems most of the contentment comes from the relationship he shared with Sachi. The care and unconditional love that he shows to her is more than just a friendship. He was her sole visitor in Yamaguchi until Stephen came. The story of their past they narrate to Stephen and the events that unfold in the beach house tell of a love triangle between Sachi, Matsu, and Kenzo (Sachi’s fiance who rejected her after she was infected with leprosy). Kenzo was once Matsu’s best friend and their friendship lasted until the day Kenzo discovered the relationship they shared with Sachi.

Write 10 pages thesis on the topic are men the victims of equality in contemporary organizations. The fact that such practices exist indicates that organizations are not gender neutral. Just like certain issues can place women in a disadvantaged position, there could be issues that can place men at disadvantage. It is this exclusion along with the perceived improvement of the position of disadvantaged groups that has contributed to the perception that men have been disadvantaged by equality (Burke and Black reading)

However, with the magnitude of such special policies incorporated by organizations for women perhaps they are now putting men at a disadvantage. Besides, the gradual increase of women in workforce could pose the threat of marginalization to men in the organization. This paper discusses if men are turning into victims of equality in contemporary organizations. Given that they have always been the dominant sex and wielded power over women, can they really be victims? The paper discusses factors that may or may not contribute to men’s disadvantaged position.

Given that men have outnumbered women in organizations it is difficult to conceive how they can be victims. Traditionally women have been perceived to be the victims of male domination in organizations. They are the ones who face the glass ceiling and find it difficult to get entry into senior positions. If they do manage to get there it becomes difficult for them to sustain at the top due to the isolation they feel from male dominated social network at top management levels. Current research builds on the findings that senior executive leadership is dominated by corporate masculinity, which accommodates women as ‘token’ or ‘other’ (wallaby.vu.edu.au/adt-VVUT/uploads/approved/adt-VVUT20070911.142850/public/03Chapter2.pdf)-Sinclair 1994. Maier 1999. Halford and Leonard 2001).

According to Kanter’s Tokenism Theory (Kanter 1977-find articles) it would be the women who hold a token position in organizations.

Write 9 pages thesis on the topic discipline of planning policy in the uk. This paper is intended to explain the national, regional and local framework for planning policy and practice identifying the main instruments for plan making in the UK. The paper focuses on particular policies relating to sustainable urban regeneration and critically examines the impact which these polices have had on a selected city in England.The salient feature of the UK planning system consists in a paradox – being born and clearly rooted in local government practice (Cherry, 1988, p.72) during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, it tended to be highly centralised over the time, but in contrast with many other countries, there is a lack of a spatial plan at national level (Balchin, Sykora and Bull, 1999, p.89). It may have its origins in the British governmental system which, as Cherry writes (1988, p.183) is generally characterised by three-component, interactive structure providing periodic responses to demand for reform and innovation. The first element is the bureaucracy (local government and the civil service) which is conservative in terms of outlook. the second are the active pressure groups – reformist in nature. and the third element is represented by the elected politicians who decide policy and implement the taken decisions. Given this scenario, planning regulations are categorically a political act and represent the outcome of conflict/degree of compromise between competing views. Plan making itself, being considered not just a technical activity, but deeply political, deriving legitimacy from values expressed in the community, has become a highly sophisticated process of complex bargaining and negotiation, in which powerful interests (including professions) ‘both mediate and promote their preferences’ (Cherry, 1988, p.184). There are three distinctive patterns of policy that dominated the post-war Britain, and which have left their imprint in the field of planning – the concept of welfare state manifested in the redistributive policies and decentralist land use strategies particularly characteristic of the period between the 1940s and 1970s. the significant neo-liberal shift in the 1980s characterised by interventionist practices – market-driven, ad hoc, piecemeal and responsive to particular pressures, with certain limitations on local government practice in terms of strategic role and oversight on town and environmental planning (Cherry, 1988, p.
