From the Paper
"Sovereign for just over a decade, Kazakhstan has been inhabited by Turk and Mongol nomadic groups for centuries. The region was conquered by the Russians in the 18th century and later, Kazakhstan became one of the republics of the Soviet Union. Modern Kazakhstan reflects a commingling of indigenous Kazak and Russian influences. Russians comprise about one-third of the nation's population and both Russian and Kazak are widely spoken. Russian is more commonly used than Kazak as the language for business and commercial transactions, whereas Kazak is the official state language. In spite of robust economic and political ties with Russia, Kazakhstan does not permit dual citizenship. According to the BBC Country Profile, ethnic Russians in Kazakhstan "resent the lack of dual citizenship and having to pass a Kazakh language test in order to work for government or state bodies." One of the motivations for Kazakhstan's strict citizenship policy is the struggle to create a "cohesive national identity," (CIA)."

Abstract
The paper discusses the film "Borat" that portrays a series of encounters between an individual, Borat, and people in the United States. The paper looks at issues of intercultural communication, how sex, gender and power are manifested in verbal behavior and how gender or culture influence non-verbal behavior. The paper also shows how the film illustrates the communication problems and cultural errors that result from using a second language. Additionally, the paper discusses how the film reveals that communication is affected by the tendency of people to hear what they want to hear and to only approve of what they want to hear.
From the Paper
"Intercultural communication is a major issue in the literature on communication and is emphasized in part as a way of training people to understand one another and to communicate in a way that is accepted by others. Many parts of the world today are becoming more alike because of the prevalence of media that exposes everyone to elements of different cultures, though even then, misunderstandings can abound because of a failure to understands and account for real differences in perception and meaning. Some of these problems can be seen illustrated in the film Borat."

Abstract
This paper explains that, when customers consume a commodity such as an iPod, they often do not realize that not only are they engaging in a relationship with that particular commodity, but they are also becoming intertwined in a series of social, economic and geographical global relationships that are responsible for bringing that product to market. The author points out that the iPod's commodity chain extends from an initial idea in the Silicon Valley, to mining for raw materials such as bauxite and carbon in Guinea and the Republic of Congo, processing plants in Kazakhstan, engineers in India, global high-tech headquarters on nearly every major continent, manufacturers in China, marketing firms in the United States and the end consumer. The paper relates that each and every one of these components has its own commodity chain that begins with conception or a design, production, all the way to the retailing distribution to the consumer
From the Paper
"These relationships can be mapped in reverse from the point of consumption, to a retailer, to a marketing agency, to a supplier, from an exporter/importer, then a producer or manufacturer, and finally, the location of the raw materials of which the consumer product, in this case the iPod, are made of. This sequential chain of functional activity nodes is known as a commodity chain. Identifying a product's commodity chain is critical for maximizing revenues by identifying processes along the commodity chain where operating costs can be reduced and thus, margins increased."
