...How do we assess whether a city is global? What other criteria could be used? This essay seeks to identify criteria’s and different aspects to assess what makes a city global. Firstly, it will outline and explain the concept of globalisation and a global city, showing evidence from the use of academic sources and giving examples if necessary. It shall then continue to examine and focus on a specific global destination, discussing different types of aspects to show what criteria’s make up a global city. Globalisation is a very complex process in which national economies have become more and more integrated and inter dependant towards each other. Global cities are all able to be categorized using a number of different types of methods even though they all share a common ground (Sassen, 1991). There are a number of different types of criteria’s available that make up a global city. These aspects are used in different types of ways to examine whether a city can be considered, identified or revealed as being a global destination. In regards to this, Frieddman (1986) states that global cities are significant destinations that have specific characteristics or functions in terms of economics, political, cultural and connectivity in the global economic system. Global cities, which can also be referred to as Alpha cities or World cities, play a significant role in regards to the country’s economic status. They have become well known as the centre of the world’s global economy. Global...

...A soldier's point of view Have you ever thought that we Americans do not take as much advantage of the luxuries we have unlike the men that goes into a war that do not have as many luxuries as we do? Not many people ask this question to themselves because they are so focused with their own lives and not the lives of others. They do not understand the sacrifice that a soldier is taking in order to fight for our country. We as Americans do not realize what the men in war are going through and the hardships they have to face while fighting in the war. In Sebastian Junger’s third book War, he has witnessed and described what US military soldiers are going through while fighting in the Korengal Valley. He describes in his book the mental stabilities of a soldier and the environment they have to live in for a year. From a third person point of view, it seems like Junger is trying to tell us something. I believe that he is trying to tell us that Americans do not take advantage of their luxuries unlike the soldiers in the Korengal Valley. In the book, it states that they are getting shot at every minute of every day, they do not have the same luxuries as we do in America, and they have very little contact with their loved ones back at home. In Junger’s third book, he describes the soldiers’ living conditions while staying at the KOP. He tells us that the soldiers do not have as much running water that they want to use. They can only use a certain amount of water that is needed for each...

...Whether it is in business or our own personal life we all will face struggles in the choices we make. Many times we know the right thing to do but do the opposite because the outcome is more to our liking. It takes more than talking the good talk to really impress and change the world around us. We all need to let our actions and deeds speak the loudest for how we think. The common business ideology is growth and success often mean more then integrity, but what about the Christian in business? For a Christian to succeed in business they need to do more than push their beliefs on others, it means a style of doing business in your community. As we began our look at what it took to be a Christian in the business world we needed to first look at what God wanted from us. Looking into what God wants us to do and how he wants us to treat each other is as simple as opening the Bible. As I read the Sermon on the Mount, in Mathew 5, I heard how God wants us to treat each other fairly and nicely. We are not to make a show of the good things we do we are supposed to just do them. Again in Mathew 6:3 we read, “When you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” In other words do not do good deeds for rewards do them because it is right. Too often we get caught up in earthly rewards to make us happy. God continually tells us our rewards are not to be enjoyed here but with him in eternity. In the Yost writing we read for week two he does a pretty good job...

...We often question God and the way he works for many things in life. We ask why he would put us through this pain, or allow certain things to happen when we assume he made everything happen exactly how it did. We fail to realize God created us, and we go from there, yes if we hear his word through scripture, prayer, and acknowledging him in our life he will help guide us, however even then he does not force our actions upon us. Eternal damnation is something we create and I think that is the main claim in “God Judges No One”, we are how we choose to be. Once God has created us and we are here on earth we decide our own hell and heaven, and that decision comes from what we do in life, how we do it, and who it affects. Most people say well how could God create this murderer, how could he bring this man into the world knowing what he will do. This is where we draw flaw in how we view hell and what God creates and does. That murderer is living in his own hell he created, he is forever out casted he “ when we do not share our lives, we end up outside of life.” this is a great example of how the author says we make our life, God puts here and we do the rest, essentially our heaven, is happiness, being with loved ones, having love and a community that you create around you of faith and something that is your own heaven, away from the images we believe of clouds, all white and in the sky. We create our heaven and we create our hell. That murderer is being publicized everywhere, name calling...

...presentation in Philosophy 201: Philosophy and Contemporary Ideas. In this presentation, I want to introduce you to three major branches of philosophy, and talk about each branch a little bit separately, and then I’ll finish off by talking about some miscellaneous branches of philosophy that are kind of an overlap of those three branches. S2: The first major branch of philosophy is the branch of metaphysics. The word metaphysics means, ‘above or beyond physics.’ It investigates questions of reality and existence. But as the word implies, it’s not just simply the existence that we see or the things that we experience with our senses, but what’s beyond those. What’s beyond this real world that we see here? Why does it work the way that it works? Why is it here? How did it get here? Those are some metaphysical areas that we deal with here. We can break metaphysics into four sub-categories here. The first sub-category is cosmological metaphysics, and this deals specifically with the origin and purpose of reality. Why does anything exist at all? That’s often been called the first philosophical question. Why does anything exist? Where did reality come from? How did it develop the way that it was? What is its purpose—why is it here? Those are all cosmological questions. A second area of metaphysics is theological metaphysics, and this deals with the reality of something beyond the natural reality that we experience: the existence of some sort of supernatural. Here it deals...

...beginning of this semester we are being taught how to write a proper project for something. So from the first class we have been shown that to write a proper project we will have to follow certain criterion. This criterion will make the project look proper or perfect. With the support of our honorable course instructor we were learning the steps of writing a project. From the very beginning we have been told that we will have to make a project during the semester within a group. There will be five members in each group. So we made our group. The most important thing is that we had been told we will have to complete the project within five lac. The money can be less than five lac but can not exceed five lac. So we started our project called awareness campaign on organic farming. In the first class we have been taught the initiation steps or stages of a project of a project. The first initiation was goal. A goal or objective is something which we want to achieve in the future. Goal is a future stick matter. We set goals to achieve in the future. As our project was awareness campaign. We have set our goal like making people aware about organic crops and organic seeds. So our project goal is to make people aware through campaigning. The second phase is brain storming. Brain storming is something that will help us to get information within our group members. From doing brain storming we have got many kinds of information from ourselves. It helps us a lot about how to start off...

...B. How can ELL teachers assist schools or districts to design ELL instructional programs As a result of the Lau v. Nichols decision, English Language Learners are entitled to receive equal access or opportunity for education, which their local school districts must provide. Furthermore, English Language Learners currently represent the fastest growing segment of students in our public schools. During the period between the U.S. National Censuses of 1990 and 2000, data shows an increase of over 50% in the number of children, ages five through seventeen, speaking other languages. According to an article by Brown University regarding ELL policy, the general population of school-age children grew by 12% since 1990, but the ELL student population...

...My fellow comrades, this is your leader, Snowball speaking. Things may seem at peace now after the Battle of the Cowshed, but it’s merely the calm before the storm. I’m sure we are all fully aware that those humans are bound to strike again. And this time, their attack will be much stronger than before. As much as you don’t want it to happen, you can’t deny this impending tragedy. We’ve come so far; we cannot let the humans destroy everything we’ve done. We have to make a stand. We have to be prepared to face the humans. And I have a plan on exactly how to do that. I say we send out more and more pigeons to the other farms; get them to stir up rebellion among the animals there. We must unite all the animals from other farms; we are all in this together. It is time for the animals to show our might and power. Imagine comrades, all the animals of all the farms, standing united against the humans. We will overpower the helpless humans, and peace will return once again, no more evil humans to control us. Animal Farm will be our haven. Defense, comrades, I do understand the meaning of defense; it does not necessary means protecting yourself with great powerful weapons. Although, yes, if we can protect ourselves with simply a pull of a trigger, then why not? I believe that none of us want any lives to be taken away, do you? Not even human ones. And we have to remember that we are animals and accept the fact that our brains and the structure of our body parts is not as advanced...

...fashion and demands of famous people because they can bring the companies a lot of money. Therefore, many non famous people look up to the famous ones and see that they wear expensive fur on their jackets. So, this becomes a huge demand in 21st century. However, there are people who would not wear fur and leather because they stand for the animal rights. The debate whether we should put animals through misery in order to make fashionable and expensive clothes to feel more "sexy", became a sensitive question among people. I think animals should take place in our world not as equal to us but as a kingdom which is the most close to ours. That means we should respect them and satisfy their needs as much as they satisfy ours. The business that deals with making real animal fur and leather became such a good deal today. The companies that work in this business became very popular because the demand for real leather and fur has increased. This demand increased due to the fact that so many famous people wants to wear it. They have a lot of money, so they usually do not care about how much they will spend on clothes and they especially do not care how that clothes is made . Many of them want to look fashionable, to show the world that they are not just ordinary people. According to this fact they wanted to wear something unique. Clothes made from fashionable fur and leather made famous people look special and glamorous. Wearing clothes made from animals determines people's status because...

...from others and that is what makes us each an individual. Our worldview is developed and molded through our upbringing, our life experiences, our religion and our surroundings. I do believe nurture and nature both play a huge part in shaping our worldviews. We are shaped into our worldview from being nurtured as a baby, child and then adult. We have our worldviews through nature by the surroundings and society we live in and how we perceive them. The Question of Origin – (How did life begin? How did mankind come into existence?) How would your selected worldview answer this question? Compare and Contrast this with how the biblical worldview would answer this question. According to Islam belief, man came about over a period of time that first stemmed from animals, as they animals got bigger, some sort of rock or stone was formed. With the mixing of this stone from the earth, with added water, man evolved. Eventually, man became intelligent and was able to live and prosper around the others evolved the same way. This took a period of time, it did not just happen. Compared to Christianity, Christianity was formed and found by God and it was made law. Islam’s claim their religion was founded by the prophet Muhammad, who was the last prophet known, even after Jesus, who had dreams of how the Islam religion should be followed from their god, Allah. God created the heaven and earth. God breathed into the nostrils of a man to give him life. He also wanted man to have...
