...Components of two meals: Breakfast: Coffee Creamer Mixed green salad Pico de gallo Cheese spicy guacamole Dressing Lunch: Chicken enchilada soup (homemade), ingredients include chicken, diced tomatoes, black beans, onions, green pepper, various spices, cheese Club crackers The brand of coffee that I use does not state on each label which country their beans come from. Instead, they list on their web site the countries where they grow or acquire their coffee beans. These countries include South and Central America, Indonesia, Africa, the Caribbean, and in the USA, Hawaii (Millstone.com, n.d.). The salad greens we use are packaged by Dole. The package does not state that these greens came from outside the United States, so they are produce from some place within the United States. The pico de gallo we use is a premade selection that is prepare in the United States. The spicy guacamole brand that we use is made in Mexico and shipped into the United States. The dressing we use is prepared in the United States, but it does have some ingredients that could be from outside the United States. However, the labeling on the package does not state the origin of all the ingredients. The chicken in our soup is local chicken. There are numerous chicken houses in our area that raise both layers and roasters, so most of the chicken we purchase is locally raised. The tomatoes, onions, and green pepper were purchased at a local farmer's market during the season for these vegetables...

...development of the whole individual. The minimum level of education that was necessary to achieve this goal in the agrarian society was basic or primary and in the industrial age, secondary. In the present borderless information society, education needs to be able to respond to additional demands of a rapidly globalizing world by raising awareness of environment, peace, cultural and social diversity, increased competitiveness, and the concept of a global village. Such education is to a knowledge or information society what secondary education was to an industrial economy. Education prepares the individual to connect - and live in harmony - with the environment around him. Globalization has changed the size, nature and quality of that environment. The challenge for higher education, therefore, is to reform, create and develop systems that prepare the individual to work in a borderless economy and live in a global society. In other words, our educational institutions need to produce global citizens. Formal is classroom-based, provided by trained teachers. Informal education happens outside the classroom ,in after-school programs ,community-based organizations ,museums ,libraries, or at home. Whatever your view on education ,it is clear that schools are one of the most important agents of secondary socialization . Peer groups and teachers have a major impact upon the socialization of schoolchildren. In the case of the former, such groups exert “peer pressure” which influence students...

...Globalisation is the integration of a country to a global level. In this current century, people’s views are no longer between “country and them” but in fact are more likely to be the “world and them”. Kenichi ohmae, writer of “The borderless World” once mention in his book that globalisation that created a borderless world among country (Ohmae 1999). While globalisation has positive, innovative, dynamic aspects, it also has negative, disruptive, marginalizing aspects (UNDP 1999). Over the past 30 years, globalisation had brought new dimensions to the traditional economic thinking around trading trade. The existing of globalisation causes impacts in economic, political and social in the 21st century. Globalisation had rise tremendously since the advance of technology, science, and transport. Industries are moving to different country every second just from the help of these advanced technologies. Countries had lowered their barriers for international trade and welcoming foreign investment and trade. Corporation now have the flexibility of operate across borders and thus increase foreign investment in other country. Foreign investment will increase economic growth in many developing countries. A research done by African Economic Research Consortium for Nigeria proves that foreign direct investment positively affects their economic growth and needs to be encouraged (African economic research consortium 2007). China is the top ranked destination for foreign investors since year...

Can you find any examples of leverage, problems, constraints, and vulnerabilities? Government officials envision the EU as a single market, an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, person, services, and capital is assured. This is a tall order in the current European Market as huge benefits are plentiful for some and lacking for others. The countries that are members of the EU house an regulatory environment with which local and multinational firms operate. What is the cost of the current situation for the European Union? The EU is one of the world’s biggest investors in promoting economic and social growth to the European markets. The European Union considers Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) as one of the key solutions to promoting development, economic and social growth to the European Markets. It is within the scope of framework that the EU follows a pro-development approach of long-term investments that will generate stable employment and growth for the European marketplace. The European banking industry has been slow in converting into a modern means of investment opportunities and lacks standardization of banking rules and regulations...

...People make choices every day – decisions as big as choosing a career or a marriage mate and as small as selecting what to wear or what to eat. Even seemingly small decisions, however, can have far-reaching effects. In today’s virtually borderless society, the food we choose to eat affects not only ourselves but also our communities, our ecosystems and even the global economy. Therefore, we need to think globally and act locally. We need to widen our horizons and think about how what we choose to consume affects the environment and the people around us in both the short-term and the long-term. First, the global market itself has pros and cons. A global market ideally creates opportunities for more people to provide goods and services more cheaply, which in turn makes more jobs available. Additionally, it allows consumers complete access to many products that would otherwise be difficult, if not impossible, to acquire. However, in order to do any good in the long term, the system must be sustainable (Collins, 2010). That said, today, the global market is realistically not so. Decentralization, which functions by having smaller groups of people specialize in a certain niche product that is then dispersed globally, is socially unjust, creating pockets of wealth while a large majority of people work hard for less money in their local currency (Norber & Gorelick, 2013, para 5). The high demand for one specific area’s natural resources results in frequent over-farming, which...

...Impacts of a Borderless Society Kaplan University SC300: Big Ideas in Science: From Methods to Mutation Carmelisa King December 1, 2014 Living in the United States there are resources that are more readily available to us than in other parts of the world. However, in the world today there are endless boundaries when it comes to how we obtain goods, services and food. In certain countries it’s hard to obtain clean water, foods with all the necessary nutrients and vitamins that are needed. However, in the United States we live in an era where everything is available for consumption and all we have to do is go to the local grocery store, Walmart, Target or Farmers Market. This paper will discuss the impacts of a borderless society. Where we get our foods from? The farming methods that are used and how these methods impact the environment and the employees who work with these farms. Were the items grown and shipped in from other countries? Lastly, this paper will cover the ecological and economic advantages and disadvantages of purchasing foods locally. First of all we will discuss my breakfast yesterday. It consisted of eggs, potatoes, onions, green peppers, and orange juice. Some people buy food from the local grocery store. However, I normally purchase our groceries from Stiles Farmer’s Market, Brother’s Farmer’s Market, Publix or Winn Dixie. My breakfast meal consisted of: eggs, onions, potatoes, green peppers from Farmer’s Market, and Simply Orange Juice from Publix...

...A Borderless Society Brennan Kelly Kaplan University SC300-10 Professor Miller April 14, 2013 The Borderless Society It is amazing how many food choices we have available to us at any given time. It doesn’t matter if the food we consume is a product of the United State, we still have access to it. Even fruits and vegetables which are only available a certain time of year are now available year round because it comes from all over the world. With one meal we can consume food which is grown in three different countries. It is something we seldom think of when we are in our local grocery store. The meal I chose to discuss is grilled chicken breast, avocado stuffed with shrimp, and quinoa. This meal has become a staple in my house, since I have been trying to live a healthier lifestyle. I am trying to consume food which is better for me and my family. Grilled chicken is made with salt and pepper. The chicken was grilled on a propane grill. Nature’s Promise is the brand of chicken I buy because, “Nature’s Promise meats contain no antibiotics or growth hormones” (Nature’s Promise, 2013). I know that it is a product of the United States from the packaging, but with all my research, I could not find exactly where the chickens where raised. While researching chicken, some of the farming practices are quite disturbing. “Mass market chicken breasts are produced on giant factory farms where manure runoff pollutes the water and noxious ammonia fumes pollute...

...what impacts could it be? According to Word Power Dictionary, globalization comes from word globalize which means develop (business, society, etc.) so as to make international influence or action possible. Other than that, globalization can be define as the increasing connectivity and interdependence of the world’s economies, societies, and cultures because of advances in communications, technology, trade, international investment movement of currency, and migration. In my opinion, technology is the big roles or function that brings the globalization. Same as Kenichi Ohmea words, globalization as a borderless world seeks to change the world into a single unit only. This process is easier with the advances in communication technology. There are numerous ways in which globalization has impacted the world. The globalization has impacted on education, economic, culture, language, food and others. Globalization also means the phenomenon that makes the world seem smaller in terms of human relations due to the speed of development of information technology. Human easily get information and difficult to filter the negative elements that permeate the hearts and minds. Some terms such as “borderless worlds” and “open skies” make such as trade, the development of political and economic power towards the development of civilization. Education is the process of receiving and giving systematic instruction, especially at school and university. There are positive and negative impacts of globalization...

...Impacts of a borderless society We live in a world where geographic boundaries cease to exist when it comes to goods, services, and even food. We think nothing of having freshly squeezed orange juice or kiwis for breakfast, even if we live in New York City with 10-inches of snow on the ground in the middle of January. We live in an age where everything and anything is available for consumption year-round at your local grocery store. However, this global market also comes with potentially major ecological and economic impacts (both positive and negative). For example, the coffee you drink may come from beans imported from Columbia, the sugar you use may come from India, or the steaks you sear on the grill may have come from Argentina. How much fuel was spent transporting these products across the ocean? Were any pesticides used? If so, was it done in a sustainable fashion? Were forests cleared to make room for grazing herds or larger agricultural fields? These are just a few of the many questions we should be asking ourselves. This is an article (short) from 2006 in Time magazine. It is called “Local Food Movement: The Lure of the 100-Mile Diet.” http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1200783,00.html This is a much more in-depth look (14 page journal article) at the contrast between global and local food choices.

...Virtual Management: A New Way to Manage Virtual Management: A New Way to Manage Technological innovation has been a driving force in the growth of e-business organizations. The e-organization growth has spawned new leadership methods and business processes aimed at maintaining competitiveness in a changing global economy. One business model attributed to the technical revolution is virtual models. This paper is intended to argue that traditional business management, methodology, and structures are failing to accommodate an ever-changing global environment, characterized by hyper-competitiveness, and the exponential increase of information systems design. The current virtual model is managed using out of date management theories, performance metrics, and technical innovations, thus creating a need to update the open systems thinking and organizational theory of the virtual model. As an open system, virtual environments are quickly becoming the new wave of business organizing. Open Systems Organizational Theory Jones (2010) defines organizational theory as “the study of how organizations function and how they affect and are affected by the environment in when they operate” (p.7). Organizational theory maintains a master relationship with organizational structure, organizational change and design, and organizational culture. Organizational structure is “the formal system of task and authority relationships that control how people coordinate their...

Simply globalization is the integration of nations into one single community. It has embraced the idea of ‘open economy or borderless territories’ where what happens in one country will definitely have an adverse impact on the strings of countries that has relationship with this particular country. There is no absolute or concrete definition of the term itself. It depends on the authority that uses this term based on his view that he tries to communicate it with his specific audience. Binh, 2001, provided this definition, “globalization refers to the process of reducing barriers between countries and encouraging...

...Question 1(word count 897) From its humble beginnings the McDonalds organisation has continuously looked to engage everyone within the business to help identify and solve problems and has made the elements of leadership, participation, team-based structures, strong adoptive cultures, employee empowerment and the open sharing of information key pillars in which it has built itself from the ground up. Sustainable development has also been at the forefront of the McDonalds organisation and is an integral part of the continued success of the organisation and its ability to weather the storm from critics regarding the quality of its “fast food” in recent years and stay ahead of its competitors. McDonalds has a rich heritage of leadership and investing in its leaders. In 1961 Hamburger University was established in Elk Grove, Ill to train restaurant staff and management in the consistent procedures of the restaurants operations and create a culture that has continued. The 2008 CEO Jim Skinner worked his way up from Trainee Manager. Skinner is also a man of values and ethics: When McDonald’s was blamed for the obesity problem, he helped direct the company to take responsibility and help create a solution rather than pass the blame. Thus, Skinner can be seen as a moral leader. McDonalds prides itself on leading from the top down but also encouraging ideas and innovation from the bottom up. Ray Kroc has encouraged a participative strategy at McDonalds from the beginning with some...

...Impacts of a borderless society Unit 6 Assignment Professor Robert P Black, MS I am a serious bargain shopper. I try to save wherever I can. That usually means buying products from a mega chain, whose items are usually from outside of the U.S., verses buying from a local “mom and pop” store. The local stores usually have higher prices than most of the larger chain stores. I have never really understood why. For my family, buying all our food locally can be a challenge sometimes. My husband is Asian and he refuses to let go of some of the Asian food items he loves. For example, he has to have bok choy instead of green cabbage from right here. Rice is another issue for us. It has to be jasmine rice from a South East Asian country. He swears there is a difference. In my opinion, it all tastes the same….bland. List all of the components of two of your meals. Meal 1: For breakfast I had eggs, Conecuh sausage, peaches, and iced sweet tea. Meal 2: For lunch I had a ham sandwich with Sargento Colby- jack cheese, Lays brand sour cream and onion potato chips, and a Jell-O pudding cup. I had a bottle of Aquafina water to drink. A.

...MEMO TO: Jacob Abrams, Chairman of Board of Directors FROM: Alfred Long, Editor DATE: 7 September 2013 SUBJECT: Evaluation of the new Media Development Authority (MDA) Licencing Framework and Recommendations for future operations As requested by you, on 31 August 2013, this report aims to evaluate the new MDA licensing framework and to present recommendations for future operations to SNews’r’us on changes in its approach to news reporting. With effect from 1 June 2013, MDA has outlined a new licensing framework for online news sites. Under the new framework, online news sites that report a minimum of one article a week on Singaporean news and have a minimum of 50,000 unique local Internet Protocol (IP) addresses a month over a period of two months will need an individual licence. In addition to the new ruling, licensees need to provide a performance bond of $50,000. Non-commercial or non-profit based sites are not exempted from this ruling (Ministry of Communications and Information, 2013). Apart from the performance bond, online news sites are to remove prohibited content within 24 hours when notified by MDA. SNews'r'us has recorded 60,000 Singaporean visits each month and has been reporting solely Singaporean news since 2007. Our site falls within the MDA’s new ruling and as such will require an individual licence and put up a $50,000 performance bond. To continue reporting Singaporean news, we need to understand: (1) the motivation for this change and...
