Here's some advice about how to describe them: * Try to write 4 paragraphs - introduction, summary of main points, 2 detail paragraphs. * For your summary paragraph, look at the "big picture" - what changes happened to all of the lines from the beginning to the end of the period shown (i.e. from the first year to the last). Is there a trend that all of the lines follow (e.g. an overall increase)? * You don't need to give numbers in your summary paragraph. Numbers are specific details. Just mention general things like 'overall change', 'highest' and 'lowest', without...

...A summary of “Poverty and Environmental Degradation” by Akin L. Mabogunje Jon/Feb. 2002 Akin L. Mabogunje want in his article explain the relationship between globalization, poverty and environment. He believes that there is some negative and positive effect. Globalization is vital in progressing, and to rise up the poverty of the world today, it is also the outcome of advanced technology which connected people all over the countries, creating the great global relationships among them. It mentioned that capitalism is essential in this kind of field, because people have the capacity to share a large amount of money in order to make business run smoothly and prosper. Through the transformation technology and manufacturing organization, it encouraged the growth of foreign trade. Farther more, nation-states give an opportunity in every country to share their roles, exchange the riches of countries and other competitor in the economy. With the help of information technology, globalization makes the communications of financial resources faster to go from one place around the world, because of current transfer of great economic resources it might have the possibility to produce or to interrupt the economic fortunes of country, and changes the lives and employment status of many citizens. On the other hand, nation-states should exert more strength to compete for foreign investment, and accomplished and maintain the economic, social and political stability. Consequently, others...

Discussion on the positive and negative effects of globalization III. Conclusion A. This part of the report will cover a summary of the findings Introduction Globalization is an increasing unity of various world economies brought about by the breaking or elimination of barriers to international trade. The barriers include tariffs, export fees and import quotas. Its aim is to raise goods, services and material wealth from a global division of labor (Robertson, 1992). Globalization is a process, driven by a combination of factors including financial, technical, sociocultural, political, and biological. The term may also refer to transitional circulation of ideas, languages, or popular culture (Waters, 2001). The history of globalization is debatable. Some people perceive it to be from the ancient times dating back to occasions like Ottoman Empire spice trade routes in 1453 spurring exploration of different lands. Others situate the origins to the modern era, citing examples like the ending of the First and Second World War in the mid-20th century which was necessitated by the need to break down borders and foster peace (Osterhammel & Petersson, 2005). Expansion of multinational companies and exchanging of scientific developments and information has led to globalization in most continents. In the...

...Executive Summary Over the past decade, Ohio has wavered from either the 7th or 8th largest economy amongst the states according to GDP. On the positive side, Ohio has maintained a lower cost of doing business than most, if not all, of its neighbors. Ohio is centrally located with many major manufacturing facilities in the United States. Secondly, the state of Ohio has the lowest tax rate on new capital investment in the Midwest and the third lowest in the U.S. for most of the last decade. Negatively speaking, the heavy reliance on manufacturing related employment is not going to be good, long-term. There will continue to be limited gains in service jobs due to slow population growth. Combine that with the elevated level of out migration and Ohio is going to be dealing with a smaller population percentage. The outlook for Ohio is mild at best. Total employment is expected to increase 9.3 percent over the 3-5 years, resulting in over 489,000 jobs. Personal income should also see an uptick of around 3.5 percent for the next year. As far as employment goes, the number of jobs will continue to be a problem, especially amongst neighboring states. Total employment is still 2 percent below the prerecession peak. It is also very important to look at home price growth as well. It has slowed down of recent, and growth over the next year is only expected to be between 2-3%. Ohio’s recovery has accelerated over the past few quarters, but it still trails the Midwest and nationwide averages...

...Running head: IMMIGRATION 1 Immigration By: Ibrahim Elabani For: Cori Claus Renison University College Writing Skills Level 300 March 2nd, 2015 IMMIGRATION Immigration These days, many individuals who live in developing countries are looking to migrate to developed countries. They would like to ensure a good and safe future not only for themselves, but also for their children. Immigration to developed countries from developing countries is a widespread phenomenon currently to countries such as United States of America, Canada, and Australia. According to Dodamin and LaPorte (2005), “Better standards of living and quality of life, higher salaries, access to advanced technology and more stable political conditions in the developed countries attract talent from less developed areas” (p 487). There are several causes that lead people to leave their lands, such as unstable political issues, poor education systems, and inadequate healthcare systems. 2 Currently, political issues are a major cause of immigration. Many citizens do not have a right of free speech in their countries; for instance, Libya was controlled by a dictatorship that ruled the country for forty-two years, there were limited human rights for Libyan citizens who did not have any freedom of speech during the Gaddafi regime. In 2011 a Libyan Revolution and Civil War took place that lead to the overthrow of the previous dictatorship regime but still did not result in freedom of speech; hence, many Libyan...
