...Many people around the world have been traumatized by the effects of terrorism. Terrorism can cause many different emotions and cause people to do many things. Some people go to church and pray with friends and family. Others want to be alone because they have lost loved ones. Many people just sit in disbelief when they see a terrorist attack, whether it be on tv or right next to them. Explaining what he thinks about the reaction in the United States against terrorism, Anup Shah said, “It was with disbelief and shock that people around the world saw footage of the terrorist attack in the U.S...”(Shah). Terrorism is horrific and must be stopped for the safety of our loved ones. Terrorism is also a worldwide problem, everywhere people's safety is being taken and destroyed by these horrendous events. Terrorism has caused global fear around the world and has taken the peace from people’s lives. Three events that have taken the peace from people’s lives are the attack of 9-11, Osama Bin Laden, and Al Qaeda and in understanding these events, hopefully they can be prevented. First, the tragedy that happened on September 11th, 2001 was possibly one of the worst incidents of this time for the United States. Many people lost their lives and safety that day. Four separate planes were hijacked that day by terrorists and their intent was to hit the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the White House. Luckily, some...

...of India’s population reside in rural areas and suffer higher levels of poverty regardless of efforts and policies being implemented from the past four decades (Prato & Longo, 2012). The rates of poverty in the country are affected by issues such as presence of factors, population density, ecological conditions and irrigation facilities etc. While there are other factors too that influence the level of poverty in rural areas of India i.e. caste, land ownership, literacy and gender (Yusuf, 2014). Impacts of Openness and Literacy rate on poverty in India Degree of openness refers to an economic metric, calculated as the ratio of country's total trade, the sum of exports plus imports, to the country's gross domestic product. The interpretation of the Openness Index is the higher the index the larger the influence of trade on domestic activities. The MRP-based poverty estimates of about 22% of poverty in 2004-5 in the Economic Survey of 2006-7. This means that per each 100 people 22 people in India are not having adequate and sufficient basic necessities i.e. clothing, footwear, durable goods, education and institutional medical expenses. The World Bank (2000) has defined that the...

Policy suggestions to reduce structural unemployment include providing government training programs to the structurally unemployed, paying subsidies to firms that provide training to displaced workers, helping the structurally unemployed to relocate to areas where jobs exist, and inducing prospective workers to continue or resume their education. Frictional Unemployment is unemployment that comes from people moving between jobs, careers, and locations. Sources of frictional unemployment include the following: 1) People entering the workforce from school; 2) People re-entering the workforce after raising children; 3) People changing employers due to quitting or being fired (for reasons beyond structural ones); 4) People changing careers due to changing interests. 5) People moving to a new city (for non-structural reasons) and being unemployed when they arrive. Policies to reduce frictional unemployment include: educational advice; schooling and training facilities; information on available jobs and workers; combating prejudice (against certain workers, jobs or locations); incentives and regulations (e.g. when the frictionally unemployed receive benefits);...

...HUMAN TRAFFICKING: A CONDITION OF SOCIAL INEQUALITY The presence of socio-economic inequality in the world creates a system where those in power very easily dominate and take advantage of those people without power. One of the most serious contemporary effects of inequalities between and within nations is the phenomenon of global sex trade or human trafficking for the purposes of sex. Deriving from unequal power relations, human trafficking is a serious global crime that involves the exploitation of many, but mostly females and children (Barner, Okech, and Camp 2014). Human trafficking is a global practice that involves the abduction or recruitment of a person for the purpose of exploitation. Trafficking does not necessarily require transportation...

Around the world, in rich or poor nations, poverty has always been present. Today most nations are facing “Inequality”—the gap between the rich and the poor—. Poverty in Pakistan is a growing concern. Although the middle-class has grown in Pakistan to 35 million, nearly one-quarter of the population is classified as “Poor”. BACKGROUND Economically, Pakistan was a very poor and predominantly agricultural country at the time of its independence in 1947 from British South Asia. During its first four decades, Pakistan's economic growth rate was better than the global average. Historically, Pakistan's overall economic output (GDP) has grown every year since a 1951 recession. Despite this record of sustained growth, Pakistan's economy had, until a few years ago, been characterized as unstable and highly vulnerable to external and internal shocks.

...Globalization Macroeconomics December 9, 2013 Lloyd Ruffle Globalization Globalization is a process of communication and integration between different parts of the world. Motivated by international trade and investment and supported by information technology this process has effects on political activities, economic development, the environment, culture, and human physical well-being (What is Globalization, 2013). Technology developments are conceived as a main driving force of most of the globalization process. As people, thoughts, information, and goods shift effortlessly around the world, the familiarity of people around the world become more alike. The Effect of Globalization As a parent globalization of education through technology is being promoted worldwide on a daily basis in our school system. With the use of technology in countries like North Africa and Asia, it is expected to make the education opportunities better for the students. It is leading to improve economies and more opportunities for students. In a classroom in one of those countries they are able to expose the students to international resources, worthwhile educational resources, which many students all over the world don’t have access to. Children in Indonesia for example are able to see the museum in London via technology, exposing them to many cultures and daily living. Globalization affects me as a consumer.

...was concerned 1834 Poor Law. The Poor Law was introduced by the Prime Minister, Earl Grey. The Poor Law should have been introduced to help the poor but instead it made their life a living hell. The poor were put into workhouses and little children were put into a baby farm until the age of 9. Dickens motive for writing this novel was to make people understand the full horrors of the Poor Law. Dickens showed his dislike of the 1834 Poor Law through his characterisation. Mrs Mann runs the baby farm which is where the young Oliver lives. She is a very greedy, callous and corrupt woman, “she appropriated the weakly stipend to her own use” which means that she steals from the little children that she was “supposed” to look after and starves them. She is a lying hypocrite, she tells the world that she “cares” and “loves” the children, this is because she says “Ah, bless’em, that I do, dear as it is “replied Mrs Mann.” I couldn’t see ‘em suffer before my very eyes, you know, sir.” Mrs Mann is lying so that she can keep her job and so she can continue to steal from the children. Mrs Mann neglects and abuses the children because “either it sickened from want and cold, or fell into the fire from neglect, or got half-smothered by accident.” Many children died and their deaths covered up. She has no womanly feelings, Dickens gives her the name, Mrs Mann. Mr Bumble employs Mrs Mann to run the baby farm. He is very pompous and very vain “to keep the Parish Officers a waiting at your garden-gate...

...Hunger, a term used to describe extreme and painful cravings for food (2011 World Hunger, 2011). World hunger is still in an issue in the 21st century, extreme malnutrition largely exists within developing countries (FAO, 2010). FAO, The Food and Agriculture Organization, claims that world hunger has risen to 925 million (13.6% of world population) in 2010, this is caused by factors such as increased food prices and a worldwide economic crisis (FAO, 2010). Poverty is a chronic issue in under developed countries, many people could only afford little food but with the inflation of food prices, the hungry are getting hungrier (Estimating the Short, 2011). Many businesses in Africa are losing profit because the consumers cannot afford the products. The price of goods is rising due to expensive oil, lack of crops and climate change. Due to inflation of food prices, hunger is an increasing issue in under developed countries. “Figure 1.0: Different poverty levels (Global Issues, 2010) “Figure 1.0: Different poverty levels (Global Issues, 2010) Food price inflation has recently been a serious issue around the world. Many are feeling the impact, but those in poorer countries are getting hit the hardest (Estimating the Short, 2011).Within developing countries there is poverty and scarce resources. This is caused by such factors as bad government, low education and lack of health care (Global Issues, 2010).Poverty is a large issue within developing countries; many individuals can barely...

Discuss in brief the various exchange rate systems. DEFINITION OF EXCHANGE RATE Exchange rate is defined as the rate at which one currency may be converted into another. The exchange rate is used when simply converting one currency to another (such as for the purposes of travel to another country), or for engaging in speculation or trading in the foreign exchange market. There are a wide variety of factors which influence the exchange rate, such as interest rates,inflation, and the state of politics and the economy in each country, also called rate of exchange or foreign exchange rate or currency exchange rate. (1). FLOATING EXCHANGE RATE SYSTEM In a floating exchange rate system, governments and central banks do not participate in the market for foreign exchange. The relationship between governments and central banks on the one hand and currency markets on the other is much the same as the typical relationship between these institutions and stock markets. Governments may regulate stock markets to prevent fraud, but stock values themselves are left to float in the market. The U.S. government, for example, does not intervene in the stock market to influence stock prices. The concept of a completely free-floating exchange rate system is a theoretical one. In practice, all governments or central banks intervene...
