...meaning of globalization is important in order to eliminate any confusion. The Miriam Webster definition of globalization is, “the act or process of globalizing : the state of being globalized; especially : the development of an increasingly global economy marked especially by free trade, free flow of capital, and the tapping of cheaper foreign labor markets.” (MerriamWebster) This definition highlights both the causes and perceived effects of globalization. Globalization occurs when countries open up cross border trading which allows the free flow of capital. This definition also highlights one of the many controversial issues many may have with globalization: the reallocation of human capital to emerging economies. This negative connotation of the definition perpetuates the fear anti-globalizers associate with the progression of globalization. Though the progression of globalization does not come without objectors and protestors, it is hard to refute that since countries have progressed towards a more globalized society the overall quality of life for a country’s inhabitants has improved. Mandelbaum states, “More countries joined the global economy, and the volume of cross-border capital flows expanded rapidly, increasing by an average of 11 percent per year between the beginning of the 1990s and the middle of the next decade” (Madelbaum 88). As more countries joined the global economy, the level of trade between the countries in the global economy rose as well. While cross-border...

...with every act. Karma is the moral law of cause and effect and belief in karma is a belief that every action has an automatic moral consequence.” In the Hindu belief system karma is tied into reincarnation with the thought that good karma leads to “higher” rebirth, while bad karma could result in the rebirth into “lower more painful forms.” A good pictorial representation of karma would be the typical ying and yang graphic. For those that are unfamiliar it is a circle with a s-shaped wave pattern down the middle, one half is black with a small white circle in it, the other half is just the opposite, white with a small black circle. I believe that this picture illustrates the ebb and flow of karma and shows “that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction” clearly. In the Hindu belief “karma is neither good nor bad but only seems that way to the person that is experiencing it.” Likewise, in our ying and yang symbol there is not a good or bad side just a cohesive unit that ebbs and flows based on the current situation. The concept of karma gives us some solid insight into the culture of the Indian people. First it gives us a basis for the Indian acceptance of the caste system. “Good karma in one’s present caste will guarantee rebirth into a higher caste or better circumstances. Secondly, it gives us a better understanding into the respect that the Indian culture has for all life, including animals. Lastly, karma becomes the “moral law of cause and...

...UNIT 1 NOTES Digital Computer A digital computer is an electronic computing machine that uses the binary digits (bits) 0 and 1 to represent all forms of information internally in digital form. Every computer has a set of instructions that define the basic functions it can perform. Sequences of these instructions. Component of Digital Computer: (1)CPU: The Central Processing Unit (CPU) or the processor is the portion of a computer system that carries out the instructions of a Computer, and is the primary element carrying out the computer's functions. This term has been in use in the computer industry at least since the early 1960s . The form, design and implementation of CPUs have changed dramatically since the earliest examples, but their fundamental operation remains much the same. (2)ALU: an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is a Digital computer that performs arthimatic and logical operations. The ALU is a fundamental building block of the central processing unit(CPU) of a computer, and even the simplest microprocessor contain one for purposes such as maintaining timers. The processors found inside modern CPUs and graphics processing units(CPU) accommodate very powerful and very complex ALUs; a single component may contain a number of ALUs. Mathematician proposed the ALU concept in 1945, when he wrote a report on the foundations for a new computer called the EDVAC. (3)Memory: memory is an organism's ability to store, retain, and recall information. Traditional studies of memory...

...effects of human activity. Latitude: is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north-south position of a point on the Earth's surface. Latitude ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° (North or South) at the poles. Latitude is used together with longitude to specify the precise location of features on the surface of the Earth. [pic] Some important Latitudes are: • Equator (0( latitude); • Tropic of Cancer (23.5(north latitude); • Tropic of Capricorn (23.5( south latitude); • Arctic Circle (66.5( north latitude); and • Antarctic Circle (66.5( south latitude). The Equator refers to the Earth's equator and is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface equidistant from the North Pole and South Pole, dividing the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. The latitude of the Equator is 0° (zero degrees). The length of Earth's equator is about 40,030.2 kilometres (24,873.6 mi). Tropic of Cancer: also referred to as the Northern tropic, is the circle of latitude on the Earth that marks the most northerly position at which the Sun may appear directly overhead at its zenith. This event occurs once per year, at the time of the June solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun to its maximum extent. Tropic of Capricorn or Southern tropic marks the most southerly latitude on the Earth at which the Sun can be directly overhead. This event occurs at the December solstice, when the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun to...

...Pseudocode is an English-like representation of the logical steps it takes to solve a problem. A variable is a named memory location whose value can vary. An infinite loop is a flow of program logic that repeats and never ends. Software can be classified into two broad types System software and application software. Command line, a location on your computer screen at which you type text entries to communicate with the computer's operating system. The major difference between the two main programming styles in use today is programmer's focus during the earliest planning stages of a project. Graphical user interface(GUI) allows users to interact with a program in a graphical environment. The process of walking through a program's logic on paper before you actually write the program is called desk-checking. Processing data items may involve organizing or sorting them,checking them for accuracy, or performing calculations with them. Every programming language has rules governing its word usage and punctuation. Using Pseudocode involves writing down all the steps you will use in a program. Before a programmer plans the logic of the program, he or she must understand the problem. F Software can be classified into two broad types: application software and programming software.

...Winter Gear Distributors, WGD for short, is one of FastFit’s main suppliers. They are a distributor of winter sports equipment and apparel, everything from the latest cross country skies to winter clothing that you could wear to the North Pole if needed. WGD has over four hundred (400) customers, deals with about forty-five (45) different manufacturers and processes an average of two hundred (200) orders a day. While their products are state of the art, their information systems are out of date. As part of the work on this business case, the reader will need to consider the upgrade or replacement of old WGD legacy systems by an integrated enterprise-wide system for both transacting and management control that will also improve the firm’s customer responsiveness, strengthen their bottom line, and even address their emerging competitors who are operationally far more efficient than WGD. WGD has been in business for thirty (30) years and like many similar businesses it has three operating departments, namely: sales, operations and accounting. The Sales Department deals directly with their customers, including FastFit. Sales personnel take orders over the phone and manually complete paper order forms. They later confirm with the customer each order and its delivery date. The Sales team is responsible for generating sales and revenues, understanding customer needs, and providing a high level of customer service. The Operations Department commits to delivery dates for orders through...

...expenditure. A major decline in the real GDP is calling as the recession. A long and deep recession is calling as the depression. The top point of the economy is called as the peak. When the economy is at the peak, it probably show that the country is in the top or the highest point of the economy. In opposite, the bottom point of the economy is called as the trough. If you are reading the statistic, it must be clearly showing out that the production, employment or other that is related with the GDP are in the lowest point of the economy. At this moment, we can also called it as the depression if this situation remain in a long period recession. The shift from the peak to trough or the trough back to peak is called as the Business Circle. So on, when the business circle is at peak, the production of output...
