...* Ethical issues mean issues whether something is right or wrong, moral or immoral. Globalization means the tendency of people to trade goods and services, or to migrate, across national borders as that the whole globe forms one economy. First we need to understand that the reason we modern humans live so differently to our ancestors who lived for many ages as poor as animals, is because of people exchanging more and more goods and services with each other. Instead of each person producing his own food, shelter, sandals, shirt and so on; and instead of only co-operating with one's near family or village, today's people exchange goods and services with strangers across the world. This enables each person to specialise in one small part of the total effort of human society, and enables each person to enjoy a much greater share than in the absence of such trade. Anything that restricts such trade makes the whole world poorer; and governments restrict such trade in thousands of way. 1. Nation-states exclude people from outside the state from using the natural resources within those states. How can this be justified? It can be justified if everyone else can get the benefit of those natural resources by freedom of trade between the people of different nation-states. But "if goods don't cross borders, armies will." The modern environmental movement locks up huge tracts of land in the most productive countries so that well-fed worriers can feel good about the world in a thousand...

...Does IT in the AEC industry create disruptions rendering IT ineffective? Information technology in the AEC industry has presented positive effects such as improved education, increased competitiveness and heightened training solutions. Conversely, information technology has also introduced negative effects, for instance, file incompatibilities, outages and the improper use of technology by staff. This essay explores the ways information technology creates disruptions in the AEC industry and whether or not that is reason to deem them ineffective. This essay also asserts that the introduction of new information technologies in the AEC industry, such as Geographic Information System (GIS), Building Information Modelling (BIM), metres and mathematical models do cause temporary disturbances, but that does not make them worthless because their positives outweigh their negatives. Information technology bestows both positive and negative effects, but information technology has the capacity to reverse negative effects. The operation of information technology requires costly education, and information technology can provide education. For example, a BMS system will relay information that will help educate people on how to better manage buildings. In the AEC industry, GIS technology has been implemented to also inform and educate people. Borce Dimeski during his presentation enunciated “GIS can be used to produce a variety of maps that can relay information involving demographics,...

...SINGAPORE FLAG [pic] DESCRIPTION [pic] The Singapore flag was officially adopted on December 3, 1959. [pic] The white crescent represents Singapore as a new nation, the five stars symbolize democracy, equality, justice, peace and progress, while white is representative of the purity and virtue of the people, and red stands for universal brotherhood. Map of the country / history [pic] History of Singapore According to legend Singapore was founded centuries ago when a prince from Sumatra landed on the island and saw a lion. He took it as a good omen and founded a city called Singapura, which means lion city. The legend may or may not be true. In fact the name Singapura was not recorded until the 16th century and Singapore was really only a trading post with a small population not a city. Modern Singapore was founded in 1819 by Sir Stamford Raffles (1781-1826). Raffles became a clerk for the British East India Company in 1795. He rose rapidly in the company. In 1805 he was sent to Penang and in 1811 he was made Lieutenant Governor of Java. In 1818 Raffles was made governor of Bencoolen on the island of Sumatra. Raffles believed the British should establish a base on the Straits of Melaka and in 1819 he landed on the island of Singapore. The island consisted of swamps and jungle with a small population but Raffles realized it could be made into a useful port. At that time two men were vying to become Sultan of the...

...RESEARCH ON THE TRENDS IN DRUG ABUSE AND EFFECTIVE MEASURES FOR THE TREATMENT OF THE DRUG ABUSERS IN ASIAN COUNTRIES AN ANALYSIS OF INNOVATIVE MEASURES FOR THE TREATMENT OF DRUG ABUSERS PREFACE Crimes related to drug abuse and the illegal manufacturing and trafficking of drugs are serious problems for virtually every country. The abuse of drugs has an adverse impact, not only on the individual abuser, but also on the economy and society of a country as a whole. Drug use and the problems that accompany it have an extremely deleterious effect on the healthy development of young people, especially.

...EVELYN M. PONGYAN IV-SINGAPORE MRS.SACOPLA INTRODUCTION Alcohol may be the world's oldest known drug. Fermented grain, fruit juice and honey have been used to make alcohol (ethyl alcohol or ethanol) for thousands of years. The production of products containing alcohol has become big business in today's society and the consumption and abuse of alcohol has become a major public health problem. The effects of alcohol abuse range from a mild hang over to mass destruction, disease and deaths on a huge scale. Alcohol use in moderation has little or no ill effects either for the user or those around them. But the misuse of what has become one of the world's most dangerous drugs takes a devastating toll on both the drinker and on society as a whole. Most agree that the occasional alcoholic drink never hurt anyone. The real danger lies in binge drinking and the development of a tolerance to alcohol, which causes the drinker to consume every greater quantities of booze in a bid to regain that original but elusive feeling of well being. PROBLEM Attached is a comprehensive community-based primary prevention plan for reducing high-risk and underage alcohol use in a community. Though it is important to realize that any effort to be comprehensive will always be lacking some components, the strategies/activities/tasks listed are possible examples of what could be undertaken to reduce high-risk and underage alcohol use. This plan is intended as a guide...

...sleep can help boost your physical, social, and mental well-being as well as the quality of life. During sleep, the body works to boost the brain’s functioning while at the same time maintaining one’s physical health. Among the young-aged such as teenagers and children, sleep supports healthy growth and development. Sleep deficiency can happen at any time and cause health problems over time. The health problems in such cases may include poor clarity of thought, lack of concentration at work, poor social and interpersonal interactions, slowed reaction and poor memory in learning among others (Mignot at al. 10073). Somnipathy or sleep disorders can be regarded as medical disorders that affect sleep patterns of both human beings and animals. At times, sleep disorder can be so severe to the extent that they can hinder normal mental, social, emotional, and physical functioning. The common tests of sleep disorders are actigraphy and polysomnography (ADAA, 1). The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) has revealed that sleep is crucial in one’s well-being and overall health. However, millions of people get little of it, and as a result end up suffering from sleep disorders. The...
