According to Encyclopedia Britannica Online Academic Edition, “Space exploration is the investigation, by means of manned and unmanned spacecraft, of the reaches of the universe beyond Earth’s atmosphere and the use of the information so gained to increase knowledge of the cosmos and benefit humanity” ("Space Exploration"). Even though financial costs are on the rise, the continuance of space exploration is imperative to our developing world because learning about life on other planets, untapped natural resources, and scientific research is essential to remaining a world leader. Our four fathers began space exploration many moons ago. It is imperative that we follow in their footsteps and have not only the courage to continue but also have the drive to want to succeed in this area of exploration. The USA is known as one of the leading world powers of scientific research and technology, if the nation is to remain in this position the USA must forge ahead with space exploration. As of today we do not have proof that we are the only life source in the universe. Scientist search for proof of other beings in the universe, “This year scientist identified sulfur, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphors, and carbon some very vital elements need to support life on a planet” ("Science Daily"). ...

Corporations have built up a world-wide network economy by promoting production and trade. An important cause for the globalizing trend of the world economy lies in relocation of production sites and management strategies of business.

These trends also provide opportunities for the sharing of risks and costs in R&D and production. Globalization is driven by strategic alliances that reflect a shift of company strategies. Globalization is an increasingly important aspect of the automobile industry. In the past decades, the automobile industry has been one of the mains driving forces in globalization. The pattern of globalization followed by the major car makers can so far be split into three stages. The first stage is export. At this stage the goal is to create a car that fits into a worldwide car category. The second stage of globalization comes after the expansion of export. This is the setting up of transplant in major market regions. The last stage of globalization is complete localization of transplants on one hand and the establishment of a global business network on another hand. In the following...
