...A world without boundaries. We can dress as we like, attend school and speak our mind. For most Australian children this happens on a day-to-day basis. But what about the children that aren’t as lucky? That can’t dress as they want or attend school just because of their race or gender? Jamila Jamari has experienced all of these things. Growing up in Afghanistan, under the growing issue of the Taliban forces, she has experienced things that us Australians can’t even Comprehend. But even though all the hardship she faced, The torture, the discrimination, she never gave up. This is why she has become a very highly ranked businesswoman with a promising future. Jamila was born in 1978 in Kabul, Afghanistan. She came from an ethnic minority group...

...economies in a positive ways, its negative side should not be forgotten. Discuss. Globalization has contributed a lot to the world today. It boosts countries economies, advance technologies and improve daily life of the people. But in the meantime whether it is a blessing or a curse has sparked much debate. This is because the benefit of globalization always come with the drawbacks. For me, the advantages of the globalization are outweigh its disadvantages. Convincing argument can be made that globalization has led to advancement in technologies. This advancement has built the new world without boundaries. So, the communication can be made with any other parts of the world through technologies such as internet and telephone. Hence, ideas exchange can be done among intellectuals,journalists, scientists or ordinary people. As a result, the best ideas will be spread all over the world which led to enhance the world achievements. However, there are some disadvantages of the globalization. The absence of boundaries of the world through technologies could create harmful to the people. To illustrate, the access to the bad website in internet such as drugs and pornography could affect people minds. For example, recently, an actor was caught for being involved in drugs processing. He admitted that have learnt the process via internet. So, no boundaries of the world also affect people to change their behavior which related to...

...Arroyo Blanco, these boundaries almost limit the individual’s very sense of self. When Kyra loses her dog Sacheverell to the coyote, she takes the animal’s attack as a highly personal invasion of the sanctity of her space. Losing the dog is terrible, of course, but it becomes far worse when it happens within the fencedin boundary of the Mossbacher backyard. The violation of these boundaries (their home, state parks, Delaney’s car) terrifies Delaney and Kyra because each intrusion breaks down the firm boundaries of their private world. The idea...

...Aleisha Wiley Business Sustainability December 15, 2013 What does sustainability mean in general terms and in a business context In general terms, the key principal of sustainability is to support, endure, perpetuate and supply the necessities of life on earth without depleting resources at a rate in which they cannot replenish themselves, crossing any thresholds or boundaries potential harmful the existence of life or destroy ecosystems that are important to animal and plant life on earth. These principals can also be applied to the life we lead as business owners, manager and other working professionals. In this paper I will be discussing what the key principals and meaning of sustainability as it applies to general terms and in a business context. Sustainable business or green business is an enterprise that has no negative impact on the global or local environment, community, society, or economy. The organization participates in environmentally friendly activities that ensure all processes, products and manufacturing activities adequately address current environmental concerns while maintaining a profit. In other words, it is a business that “meets the needs of the present world without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs. Exemplary examples of a green business are the efforts of Nike and Adidas. They developed a new way of dyeing clothes with CO2 instead of water. The process is a potentially revolutionary technique that...

...A WORLD WITHOUT BORDERS Globalisation can be defined as the process in which the connectivity and interdependence between markets and businesses increases. It means that as economies become more interconnected, more opportunities arise. This process has been questioning the idea of national boundaries. Should there be boundaries between countries? Are they necessary? Boundaries have certain functions such as demarcating the territorial limits of a state’s jurisdiction and authority, the regulation of movement of people, capital, commodities and information between state territories and the assignation of an identity and citizenship. Are these functions being replaced by globalisation and business movements? The end of boundaries is not nigh. Firstly, one of the main functions of boundaries or national borders is, as said, the demarcation of the territorial limits of a state’s jurisdiction and authority. A state is sovereign by right. Borders are powerful symbols of the state’s power. It means that the government has the legitimate right to exercise coercion. When it comes to globalisation differences arise such as the meaning of sovereign to nations inside different territories. It is usually seen by national institutions with different points of view as to what sovereign means and depending of what constraints they might have. Boundaries cannot be erased to create a global community when there is no agreement about who is sovereign, where and how. Businesses would certainly...

...Boundary less Organizations Dalia M. Davidson January 16, 2012 HCS/325 David R. Campbell Boundary less Organizations Many healthcare workplaces are becoming known for being boundary less organizations. Employees are connecting to the outside world with a wide variety of co-workers, consultants, off-site employees, and other resources. Boundary less organization is a contemporary approach in organizational design. It is an organization that is not defined by, or, limited to, the horizontal, vertical, or external boundaries imposed by a predefined structure. Boundary less organization combines the business team and network structures with the addition of temporariness. Many entrepreneurial and start-up businesses are boundary less organizations. When businesses are able to make quick changes to their environments and come up with solutions to an issue makes them boundary less organizations. There are two types of boundary less organizations. Inside of boundary less organizations teamwork and communication replace formal lines of authority. Barriers that once separated organizational members are resolved and team members react spontaneously to problems that may occur. Outside boundary less organizations the needs are met through outsourcing contracts and outside alliances that come together. These relationships are forever changing so they would look different day to day. Technology and the absence of hierarchy have allowed for the acceptance of boundary less...

...aspects of life. Ones manners, people skills, and the like are all a result of one’s socialization. Even pets are now socialized in order to better prepare them to interact with other animals when walking in the city or the park. So why then is socialization such a strange and foreign concept to parents? To put it simply, children should being socialization at a young age to prepare them to interact with other children and adults as they grow. Socialization alone can move a child from having a dramatic experience when being left with a care giver to a more pleasant one. Not only does the child benefit from this, but the parents do as well. Often parents feel that since their child does not react well to other that they are confined to home without a night out or a play date with another family. This simply is not true. A child can and should become acquainted with other children, extended family (if possible), and eventually a care giver or baby sitter. This can soften the blow to the child and parents when the later must leave for work, a leisurely...

...the year 1100 a handful of powerful kings emerged as rulers over large numbers of these European estates. The consolidation of neighboring estates under the unified control of a king formed the basis of the development of a modern Western Europe. 5. Most of the remaining colonies are islands in the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea, Puerto Rico, Pitcairn Island and etc. II. Why Do Boundaries Between States Cause Problems? 6. A boundary is an invisible line that marks the extent of a state's territory. A frontier is a zone separating two states in which neither state exercises political control. 7. The Law of the Sea standardized the territorial limits for most countries at 12 nautical miles. Also, states have the right to fish and other marine life within 200 miles. Countries separated by less than 400 miles of sea must negotiate the location of the boundary between exclusive fishing rights. 8. Geometric Boundary- They play an important role in separating one form of government from another. Ex: The United States - Canada Boundary Religious Boundary- They help in the prevention of religious wars and/or clashing. Ex: The Northern Ireland- Ireland...

...Emily Sun Mr. Bursiek IB LA 11 22 October 2012 Limited Transcendence in the Human Condition An analysis of contradicting elements in selected personal essays of Virginia Woolf An author fascinated with boundaries, Virginia Woolf blurs the line between black and white in her essays The Death of the Moth and Street Haunting. In both essays she highlights opposing extremes: Street Haunting articulates the innate conflict of impulse and restraint, and The Death of the Moth articulates the enduring struggle between life and death, from which death always rises as the victor. The juxtaposition of these conflicting extremes as contradictory ultimately results in a dialectical synthesis of the two, proving that one is synergetic with the other. Through this synergy Woolf emphasizes the strength of the human condition to transcend the boundaries of its ambiguities, but clearly defines its inability to fully surpass the boundaries of the physical world. The Death of the Moth makes a piercingly clear point that life is futile in the face of its unfailing conqueror: death. Yet embedded at the heart of Woolf’s essay and thesis lies an inherent contradiction. Woolf constructs her essay to revolve around death’s victorious potency. Yet that is not enough. For, to glorify the power of death, she must also paint life as a substantial opponent to overcome. She does accomplish this purpose, describing the moth’s “gigantic effort…against a power of such magnitude” (Moth 2), a surprisingly...

...Plate tectonics is the theory that explains the structure and motion of the Earth’s lithosphere. The theory states that the Earth’s crust is split into large sections called tectonic plates, and these move relative to one another creating boundaries at which plates converge, diverge and move past each other. Alfred Wegener pioneered the theory of continental drift in the early 1900s which he supported with multiple pieces of evidence. Perhaps the earliest indicator of the theory was the apparent fit of some of the Earth’s continents; analysis of these coastlines, notably the eastern edge of South America and the western edge of Africa, has shown that they are very similar geologically suggesting that at some point in the Earth’s history the landmasses were joined together. Another indicator that the continents were once distributed differently was geological evidence of glaciation in India – it is unlikely that glaciers could ever reach such low latitudes, but this problem can easily be explained by continental drift. Fossil distribution also provided some of the earliest evidence for plate tectonics – certain land-dwelling fossil species have been found in areas that are now separated by ocean which indicates that those areas were at some point joined together. However at the time of Wegner’s work many of the geophysical tools that are used today did not exist making the theory much more difficult to support. Paleomagnetism is one of the strongest pieces of evidence for plate...

...Modernism’s Relation to Early Film In The Cabinet of Caligari women are portrayed in a way that matches up with Modernism concepts. Dr. Olsen’s daughter is kidnapped and the men quickly hurry to rescue her. This scene shows how Dr. Caligari makes no attempts to resist savagery, in film men often must come to the rescue of women, and the savagery exemplifies why there are boundaries and standards in the world. Dr. Olson’s daughter, Jane, puts herself on Dr. Caligari’s radar when she comes looking for her father. Caligari is using a sleepwalking man, Cesare, to commit murders in the town. Jane goes searching for her father, for no reason other than her curiosity and anxiety, and gets herself in trouble for it. In Modernism, searching for answers can be dangerous as one can see glimpses into the savage world, as Jane does with Caligari and Cesare. As we’ve seen over and over in this course, such as in Heart of Darkness, the savage world is truly too much for a civilized person to handle and leads to many problems. In this case, even though she wasn’t directly searching for knowledge on savagery, Jane’s inquiry helps get her kidnapped. Jane is kidnapped from her sleep. In Modernism sleep is often associated with being g able to see the truth as well as viewing one’s hopes, fears, and desires. While it’s impossible to know what Jane was dreaming about she is quickly awakened into a quick nightmare. However, this “nightmare” helps the truth about Caligari soon become known. Cesare...

One of the many ways the war affected Political Boundaries are, the French lost a majority of the land they had. For example they lost all of their territory in Canada. Also the british would take most of the land in the new world. Also The Proclamation of 1763 also changed Political boundaries by denying any colonial settlement west of the Appalachian mountains.
