Asia’s alcohol consumption and its retail expenditure on each of beer, distilled spirits and grape wine have more than doubled so far this century. In the process, the mix of beverages in Asia’s consumption of alcohol has been converging on that of the west as wine’s share rises. Since Asia’s beverage production has not kept up with its expansion in demand, imports net of exports are increasingly filling the gap — especially for wine. This paper analyzes trends in consumption and imports for the region and for key Asian countries, and provides projections to 2025 using a new model of global beverage markets.

Objective. Alcohol consumption of university students in Metro Manila was determined and compared to other countries in the region and in the West. Methods. A survey of students from ten randomly selected public and private universities in Metro Manila was done. Results. A total of 2,930 students participated, 46.1% from public schools and 58.9% were female. Of the total students, 81.6% had drank an alcoholic drink in their lifetime; and 15.6% drank beer, 22.5% drank wine and 11.4% drank distilled spirits before they were 13 years old. For the past 30 days, 30.2% drank beer, 30.8% distilled spirit and 18.7% wine; 16.9%, 7.4% and 19.7% binged on beer, wine and distilled spirits, respectively; and 29.1% got drunk. Five percent of the students had drank inside their school. Of those who drove any motorized vehicle, 28.9% drove when they had drank and of those who use prohibited drugs, 66.7% mixed the two. Thirty one percent said they tried to quit drinking in the past 12 months and 7.5% admitted they have a drinking problem. Conclusion. Alcohol consumption of Metro Manila students approximates those of other countries. For policy and monitoring purposes, it is recommended that this survey be done regularly with a nationwide scope and compare this with other countries for best practices.

This chapter details how the mid-1990s saw a substantial increase in the number of horror films being produced in Asian countries, and in particular Japan and Korea. At the same time, globalisation and the introduction of worldwide distribution channels meant that such films became much more accessible to western audiences, with the surprise success of Hideo Nakata's Ringu (1998) bringing Japanese horror into the mainstream of western cinema. Often used to describe genre films from across Asia, so-called 'J-Horror' is now a recognised sub-genre in the west, with a number of scholarly books dedicated to its analysis. Although many of the more recent films feature modern trappings and a preoccupation with technology, they draw heavily from Japan's long tradition of folklore and ghost stories, while stylistically referencing the aesthetics of traditional Japanese theatre. The chapter considers Masaki Kobayashi's Kaidan (Kwaidan, 1964). It traces the evolution of Japan's unique national film industry and examines how cultural differences can affect genre production and consumption.

‘Drinking and temperance’ describes the history of alcohol consumption in the United States and the introduction of the temperance movement. From the earliest European settlers to the fighters of the Revolution, Americans were among the world’s heartiest drinkers, producing their own corn beer and importing rum from the West Indies. The British blockades during the war meant access to rum was lost. Americans began to distill whiskey from corn instead, which became the country’s patriotic drink. Problems associated with heavy drinking resulted in reformers creating the temperance movement, a cause that was then taken up by Protestant preachers. In the 1850s, evangelicals lobbied for statewide prohibition laws, but there was no viable system of enforcement.

The relation of religion and politics in South Asia is a subject of unusual complexity, with a richness of phenomena which at once intrigues and embarrasses. In the West we are concerned chiefly with the major branches of the Christian church; in South Asia we find a compact geographical region which is the meeting place of three major world religions. The majorities in the three most important South Asian countries, India, Pakistan and Ceylon, profess respectively Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism. From a comparative point of view it is important to note that the three countries share a similar colonial background: all three were part of the British Empire. British policies with respect to religion in undivided India and in Ceylon were not identical, but they did follow the same general lines.

Values Statements

This paper attempts to explore critically, some differences between ‘corporate values’ and ‘personal values’, as indicated by the values statements of a few well-known companies, both in the West and the East. It appears that values choices by Western companies tend to represent primarily ‘corporate values’, which emphasize the objective character of the organization. Indian companies seem to follow this lead. But most companies in other Asian countries appear to select values in terms of subjective character of individuals that should augment the performance effectiveness of organizations. ‘Corporate values’ tend implicitly to accord priority to objective or doing skills over subjective or being values. But in ‘personal values’ the subjective values dimension receives greater accent than the objective. This is because decisions and actions taken by ‘high skills’ persons may become unethical if their driving values originate from questionable subjective motives (values). Values are the cause, ethicality or unethicality the effect. Moreover, in the ultimate analysis ‘personal values’ at the very top have a pronounced influence on the tone of ‘corporate values’ for the organization as a whole. Besides, both Western and non-Indian Asian companies show close alignment of corporate or personal values with the values of the wider society to which they belong.

<p><em>This discussion aims to see the pattern of patriarchal culture taking part in the development of science and technology. This then creates a different space for women and men, especially in the development of science and technology in Asian countries. This discussion tries to see the current pattern of development of science and technology through the ecofeminism point of view of Vandana Shiva. The results of the analysis prove that the tendency of the pattern of development of science and technology today cannot be denied, many get influence from the West. That the progress of science and technology is so rapid as if it wants to match the development of the Western world, not necessarily in accordance with the character of Indonesianness and the character of Asian society</em></p>

Abstract Little attention has been given to principles of Buddhist moral conduct in the West. There are ten virtuous actions of Buddhist moral conduct, called the Ten Virtuous Deeds of the Bodhisattvas. Drawing from the works of contemporary women thinkers and artists, this article considers how the beauty of human nature and spirituality can be cultivated based on Buddhist feminist perspectives. There are many oppressed women in Asian countries whose voices are not heard in society. Buddhist feminism based on the Ten Virtuous Deeds of the Bodhisattvas can probe deeply into the heart of the moral issues and nurture the powerful flow of spiritual energy for the women. This is a theoretical study that elaborates on women’s struggle for their liberation as inspired by the art of Rima Fujita.

Corrosive poisoning is common in South East Asian countries than in the West. It can be accidental or suicidal and can cause gastrointestinal tract injuries. The grade of injuries depends on several factors related to the patient and the substance causing injury. Dilemmas arise at different management levels, whether to resort to a radical surgical approach or consider more conservative approaches. We present a case of suicidal corrosive acid injury in a 23-year-old male with extensive upper gastrointestinal tract injury managed surgically. Ampullojejunostomy may be a feasible option in patients with stomach and duodenal necrosis following corrosive acid poisoning if ampulla is normal. However, its role in the emergency setting may be questionable.

This study is aimed at finding a narrative of Muslim self-aftermath of 9/11 in the West when it was swept with hatred against Muslims leading to the rise of Islamophobia which is herself experienced by the novelist, Monica Ali. Penning from her own experience, the novel, Brick Lane (2003) can be considered as real experience of many people who were held responsible for crime committed. This study employs descriptive qualitative method in dealing with the rise of islamophobia in the West after the incident of 9/11. This is the textual analysis of the experiences of diasporic Muslim couple from Bangladesh living in London and being the witness of the rise of xenophobia in the form of islamophobia aftermath of 9/11. This evaluation and interpretation are importance in the contemporary scenario as there is a continuous rise of such incidents in Europe and America in different ways. The outcome of these incidents is that it is mostly the innocent Muslims who are being attacked for a crime committed by others.The result shows the bitter experience of simple Bangladeshi Muslims immigrant who struggled for identity crisis in a multicultural highly educated world. It also reflects the personal experiences of writer herself as she being a Bangladeshi is living in West. The result was evaluated by examining Bangladeshi immigrant characters and their various circumstances and situations in the novel. Moreover, the point is that people of South Asian countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan prefer to live and work in West for better standard of living, education and job prospects.
