NATONAL FLAGS The flag, the most common symbol of national identity in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient The traditional flag of fabric is still used to mark buildings, ships, and diplomatic caravans by national affiliation, but its visual design makes it adaptable for other roles as well Most flags have a compact, rectangular shape and distinct visual symbolism Their strong colors and geometric patterns are usually instantly recognizable even if miniaturized to less than a square centimeter Images of flags can thus serve as identifying icons on airliners, television broadcasts, and computer displays Despite its simplicity, the national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive artifact It is, rather, the product of millennia of development in many corners of the globe Historians believe it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to indicate wind direction Early human societies used very fragile shelters and boats Their food sources were similarly vulnerable to disruption Even after various grains had been domesticated, people needed cooperation from the elements to assure good harvests For all these reason, they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another LUYỆN THI ĐẠI HỌC MÔN TIẾNG ANH CÙNG CÔ NGỌC LAN https://www.facebook.com/luu.n.lan Ascertaining the direction of the wind using a simple strip of cloth tied to the top of a post was more reliable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire or the swaying of field grasses The association of these prototypes of the flag with divine power was therefore a natural one Tribes began to fix long cloth flutters to the tops of totems before carrying them into battle, believing that the magical assistance of the wind would be added to the blessings of the gods and ancestors represented by the totem itself These flutters may seem like close kin of our present-day flags, but the path through history from one to the other wanders through thousands of years and over several continents The first known flag of a nation or ruler was unmarked: The king who established the Chou Dynasty in China (around 1000 B.C.) was reputed to have a white flag carried ahead of him This practice may have been adopted from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to medieval Europe In Europe, the Chinese-derived flag met up with the modern flag's second ancestor, the heraldic crest The flags used in Asia may have been differentiated by color, but they rarely featured emblems or pictures European nobles of the medieval period had, however, developed a system of crests (symbols or insignias specific to particular families) that were commonly mounted on hard surfaces; shields to be used in battle often displayed them especially prominently The production of these crests on flags permitted them to be used as heralds, meaning that they functioned as visual announcements that a member of an important household was present While crests began to appear on flags as well as shields, the number of prominent families was also increasing They required an ever greater number of combinations of stripes, crosses, flowers, and mythical animals to distinguish themselves These survived as the basic components of flag design when small regional kingdoms were later combined into larger nation-states They remain such for many European countries today Some nations, particularly those whose colors and emblems date back several hundred years, have different flags for different official uses For example, the flag of Poland is a simple rectangle with a white upper half and red lower half The colors themselves have been associated with Polish nationalism since the 1700s They originated as the colors of the Piast family, which during its rule displayed a crest bearing a white eagle on a red field Homage is paid to the Piast Dynasty in the Polish ensign, the flag officially used at sea Unlike the familiar plain flag flown on land, the ensign has a red shield with a white eagle

principles have been implemented since ancient times, most management scholars trace the beginning of modem management thought back to the early 1900s, beginning with the pioneering work of Frederick Taylor (1856-1915) Taylor was the first person to study work scientifically He is most famous for introducing techniques of time and motion study, differential piece rate systems, and for systematically specializing the work of operating employees and managers Along with other pioneers such as Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, Taylor set the stage, labeling his philosophy and methods "scientific management" At that time, his philosophy, which was concerned with productivity, but which was often misinterpreted as promoting worker interests at the expense of management, was in marked contrast to the prevailing industrial LUYỆN THI ĐẠI HỌC MÔN TIẾNG ANH CÙNG CÔ NGỌC LAN https://www.facebook.com/luu.n.lan norms of worker exploitation The time and motion study concepts were popularized by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth The Gilbreths had 12 children By analyzing his children's dishwashing and bedmaking chores, this pioneer efficiency expert, Frank Gilbreth, hit on principles whereby workers could eliminate waste motion He was memorialized by two of his children in their 1949 book called "Cheaper by the Dozen" The Gilbreth methods included using stop watches to time worker movements and special tools (cameras and special clocks) to monitor and study worker performance, and also involved identification of "therbligs" (Gilbreth spelled backwards) - basic motions used in production jobs Many of these motions and accompanying times have been used to determine how long it should take a skilled worker to perform a given job In this way an industrial engineer can get a handle on the approximate time it should take to produce a product or provide a service However, use of work analysis in this way is unlikely to lead to useful results unless all five work dimensions are considered: physical, psychological, social, cultural, and power 40 What is the passage primarily about?
