From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Australia ( / ə ˈ s t r eɪ l j ə / ə-STRAYL-yə or / ɒ ˈ s t r eɪ l j ə / o-STRAYL-yə, or / ɔː ˈ s t r eɪ l i ə / aw-STRAY-lee-ə), officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country in the Southern Hemisphere comprising the mainland of the Australian continent (the world's smallest), the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Neighbouring countries include Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea to the north, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Caledonia to the northeast and New Zealand to the southeast. For at least 40,000 years before European settlement in the late 18th century, Australia was inhabited by indigenous Australians, who belonged to one or more of the roughly 250 language groups. After sporadic visits by fishermen from the immediate north and discovery by Dutch explorers in 1606, Australia's eastern half was claimed by the British in 1770 and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Wales, founded on 26 January 1788. The population grew steadily in the following years; the continent was explored and an additional five largely self-governing Crown Colonies were established during the 19th century. On 1 January 1901, the six colonies became a federation and the Commonwealth of Australia was formed. Since Federation, Australia has maintained a stable liberal democratic political system and is a Commonwealth realm. The population is 22 million, with approximately 60% concentrated in and around the mainland state capitals of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. The nation's capital city is Canberra, in the Australian Capital Territory. A prosperous developed country, Australia is the world's thirteenth largest economy. Australia ranks highly in many international comparisons of national performance such as human development, quality of life, health care, life expectancy, public education, economic freedom and the protection of civil liberties and political rights. Australia is a member of the United Nations, G20, Commonwealth of Nations, ANZUS, OECD, APEC, Pacific Islands Forum and the World Trade Organization. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I noticed that they offer both of those degrees. The Master of Commerce degrees are awarded by the Faculty of Business and Economics of the respective school for the most part. The MBA is always awarded by the Business School of that school. Both degrees are unbelievably expensive. What is the main difference between these two degrees and how are they regarded? How would employers in the US distinguish between the Master of Commerce from Australia and the MBA from there? It's not an MS degree. They call them "Master of Commerce" and those degrees are in general business, not a particular field such as accounting or finance. Asked by mayerj72 - Sun Jan 17 23:26:48 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. The difference is the ranking, content and entitlement. This is the ranking system of university courses: Undergraduate Degree (First Timers) Graduate Degree Masters MBA (Master of Business) PhD (Doctorate) However, it depends on what your MBA is on. My father recently went back to university and did an MBA in International Property Law, and he is on his way to starting a doctorate. Internationally, an MBA is much more recognized when applying for jobs overseas. A Master of Commerce is simply a degree, another course that is on your Curriculam Vitae but not giving as much recognition as an MBA. Completing a MBA would be of more benefit, it gives good knowledge and prepares you for all of the industry in which you have focused.

We have protected classes (race, age, sex, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, religion) here in the US, so if you fire someone or do not hire them based on their membership in these classes then you are subject to major fines and other disciplinary actions from the government. Also, you can fire who you like but if the employee can prove it was for an illegal reason (such as they are a member of a protected class or they would not perform sexual favors for a boss) the fired employee can sue for big time cash.
