...Globalization: Changing the World’s Economy Globalization is the process by which the interaction of economic, political, cultural, and environmental systems across geographical borders are accepted as part of a more integrated and interdependent world economy. Some people view it as an exchange of people, goods, ideas, capital, and cultures across national borders linked by the development of modern technologies, such as the Internet (Globalization, 2007). In the last few decades, the advantages of globalization have been debate because some argue that it is good for the world economy, while others argue that it can cause catastrophic economic and environmental consequences. Although globalization has some negative effects, such as increasing income inequality between the poor and the rich, its positive effects outweigh the costs. Therefore, globalization improves countries’ economic growth, people’s standard of living, and information technology. Many people believe that the concept of globalization was caused by the liberation of markets after the post-war monetary agreements, such as the Breton Woods System. However, globalization has already been in practice for centuries all over the world. These agreements accelerated globalization because they helped to open new markets in different countries, and reduced trade barriers through the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Some archeologists found evidence of trade between the Roman Empire and Sri Lanka, and some...

...major part in building and managing the country after 1990’s. It has played both a constructive and destructive role in communicating information to its viewers. Organizations have been aware of this might of media for quite some time now. The partnerships between organizations and media channels and the way in which orgs manage media play a huge role in the way it affects their business. Ex. FMCG companies, entertainment companies, e-commerce companies understand that marketing can’t happen and product can’t sell unless media upholds it. Hence the partnership between orgs and media needs to be seen as an art of media management now. Media can both build and destroy the reputation of any entity in this country. Hence it is extremely careful how media is managed and used in the best possible manner in order to derive benefits instead of creating issues.

Some Kidnapped because of the information see in one’s personal account on the internet. The problem of many online users’ right now is how to avoid the so-called “privacy invasion” particularly on Facebook and Twitter. According to Tagvoryan & Briones in 2009, the explosion of social networking sites on the Internet has raised many questions regarding this expectation of privacy for users. Recent legal developments around the world provide insights into the future interpretation of the Fourth Amendment’s “expectation of privacy” as it applies to the users of these websites. Hughes, Horn, Debatin and Lovejoy in 2009 illustrates particularly how useful Facebook and Twitter for viewing this evolving legal landscape, two of the most popular social networking sites. Specific privacy concerns of online social networking include inadvertent disclosure of personal information, damaged reputation due to rumors and gossip, unwanted contact and harassment...

...Recruitment at Walt Disney: Organizational Chart: In 1943, five years after it was founded and during the height of World War II, Walt Disney Studios put out an organization chart to explain how the company functioned. What’s fascinating is how it differs from org charts issued by most corporations. Typically, corporate org charts are hierarchical, with each operating division isolated into “silos” showing job titles according to reporting chain of command and ultimate authority. The CEO and SVPs get the higher positions and bigger boxes; the little boxes represent the expendable worker “bees.” The Disney org chart, on the other hand, is based on process, from the story idea through direction to the final release of the film. All of the staff positions are in the service of supporting this work flow. the Disney chart is showing an operational flow, not an org authority Structure at Walt Disney There are four main divisions to the Walt Disney Company. These divisions include media networks, parks and resorts, studio entertainment, and consumer products. The Walt Disney Company is united by a central CEO and President. He should ensure smooth relations and operations between the multitudes of branches that make up the Walt Disney Company. He should also be responsible for company public image. Disney's management is primarily split into two units. These units are Corporate and Business Units. Corporate management is management within the overall Walt Disney...

...1) The digital divide is a gap many influential bodies are trying to close. How many so called solutions have actually worked and have successfully made permanent positive change in a region. Use supportive evidence in your argument What is the digital divide? For most people living in developed countries, technology is something we are all familiar with. It is fast, it is dynamic, and it changes rapidly. It is everywhere in our lives. Change is ongoing, it is constant. From the emergence of the first personal computers in the 1970s (Beekman and Beekman, 2012), to smart phones today that make earlier computers look like dinosaurs, technology has come a long way. It is so ingrained in our lives it is almost unimaginable to fathom living in a world without it. And yet, some still do. It also begs the question that if ever connectivity was lost would it cause the western world to devolve and become 2nd world countries, or even third world. This paper explores the Digital Divide as it is defined today, the areas which are most affected by this divide, and focuses on Africa, and solutions implemented to try to close the gap. The term “Digital Divide” was coined some time in the 1990s, evolving from a number of definitions. One of its earlier definitions was by Woolinksy, defined as the lack of access to computers (Gunkel, 2003). It has since evolved to be known as the social concern that various groups in the world have a lack of access to Information and Communications Technology...

...author, message, audience, and context of the Mammogram Radiation article. The author of this article is Saver Ji. His credibility is that he is a, “Steering Committee Member of the Global GMO Free Coalition (GGFC), (and) advisory board member of the National Health Federation” (Ji, 2014). GreenMedinfo.com is the website he created (Ji, 2014). He is also is a “Patient advocate and educator and consultant for natural health and wellness field” (Ji, 2014). I believe his intent is to stop people from getting mammograms and seeking alternative ways to get checked for breast cancer. This article was written on wakeupworld.com. This article is not as credible, because it’s a blog on a .com website, and not an informative article on a .gov or .org website. First I elaborated about the author, but now I will go in depth about the message of his article. The tone of his article is that it was negative but informative. His writing was very anti-mammogram, but it was very informative, because it was filled with radiation facts. One of his stats in his article was that “radiation risk model… underestimates the risk of mammography- induced breast and related cancers by between 4-600%” (Ji, 2014). This is astonishing but the wide range in the statistic is not very persuading to someone. The visuals in his article were pretty limited. There was only one picture of a mammogram with a radiation symbol. However, there were many advertisement visuals on the right hand side, so that took up a...
