...Globalization has benefited developed countries more than developing countries. To what extend do you agree with this statement? Globalization is widely discussed subject. Therefore, it is not that easy to explain such a complicated term in simple words. The advancement in technology such as mobile phones, airplanes, telephones and the internet have made the growth of transport and communication networks possible and more convenient. This means that people and countries can exchange information and goods more quickly and in a less complicated way. This is called globalization. Since, there is an active trade among countries, the products that are manufactured are affordable. The products can be purchased by more people since they are priced cheap. However, the trade of economic goods and products are not only the matter that takes place, but also services, knowledge, cultural goods and even languages. Simply, globalization can be described as the borders being removed so that countries become economically, socially and politically interdependent on one another. There are both benefits and consequences to globalisation for developed and developing nations which impact aspects of society such as employment, level of foreign investment, brain drain/gain and aid (UNESCO, 2014). Globalization has helped countries to developed greatly in all the economy and society. Researchers from different parts of the world have gone through this topic and there are some of them who believe...

...Cold War had. Now this leads into the cultural battles between the superpowers had as much, or more. This left more of an impact on the everyday lives of most American civilians. Not being an American civilian or citizen wasn’t an issue either. So is immigration a positive effect in North America? Without immigration, The United States would not be nearly as diverse as it is today. But illegal immigration is a tremendous drain on the resources of The United States. But we must find a way to humanely treat illegal immigrants today without allowing or encouraging a further disadvantage to our county. They are a lot of reasons of why people immigrate to the U.S. Some may feel that they have better advantages here then wherever they are coming from. However, they are some push factors that some people have no control over. People are forced to migrate fleeing war or conflict to save their lives, these migrants are also known as refugees. For example, within the events in...

...shock within Australia and how and why people who arrive in Australia from diverse countries, cultures and traditions are often affected and how they can be helped to feel culturally safe. We will explore the history of immigration within Australia and how it has developed over the years and why majority of people who come to Australia may experience culture shock. We will then discuss what we can do as a nation to make these people feel culturally safe within our country. Immigration is very popular within our country with thousands of people coming to and from Australia every year. Although many people seem to believe that Australia is the halfway point between the UK and the USA they seem to always not prepare themselves for what Australia has in store for them and how culturally diverse we are. Immigration has been common in Australia for over 50,000 years. Beginning with the initial human migration to the continent, when the ancestors of Australian aborigines arrived via the islands of maritime southeast and New Guinea. From the early 17th century onwards, the continent experienced the first coastal landings and exploration by European explorers, the convict transportation from Britain. From 1793 and 1850 nearly 200,000 free settlers chose to migrate to Australia to start a new life. Then came the gold rush from the 1850’s and by 1901 the Chinese were the third largest migrant group to move to Australia behind the British and German. Over the many years Australia has been...

...Intentions to Migrate by Future Malaysian Professionals Abstract Globalisation has led to the fierce competition for skilled labor between firms and thus leading to intense labor mobility worldwide. Shortfall in professionals in host countries has led organizations aggressively search for foreign professionals needed to fill up the gap in their own country. Most commonly observed is the outflow of professionals from developing countries to the developed nations more often than not at the expense of the developing countries. Malaysia is one developing country which is not spared from this phenomenon that is threat to the economy. Malaysian professionals are heavily sought after because they are able to adapt themselves anywhere in the world, multi-lingual and inexpensive. Malaysian professionals are steadfastly flowing out to fill the soaring demands abroad. If this situation were to continue, Malaysia would have to endure a shortage of professionals within the country and will create the issue whether our talent pool can maintain equilibrium to support our robust industry growth. Approaches to offset this phenomenon have to be carried out immediately. Thus, this paper will examined the relationship between the push-pull factors and intentions to migrate which eventually may lead to Brain Drain. Seeing that brain drain of our Malaysian professionals will continue to go on which definitely will have an impact on our transformation, researcher believe that an intention to migrate is strong...

...INTRODUCTION It is obvious that we are faced with an aging population. Within three decades individuals aged 65 years or older are expected to make up 23% of the Australian population (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2013). This is a stable increase from 13% in 2007, emphasising Australia as an aging country (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2013). This is evident not only within the demographic regions of metropolitan and rural cities and towns of Australia but also among other countries in the world. It is with this discrepancy that presents such a large challenge within the population and from a health perspective. This essay will explore the social, cultural and psychological health related issues linked with growth in the aging population and will focus on the baby boomer generation and the co-morbidities that are notably prevalent in the elderly. This essay will also consider the future role of the nurse and how their profession will be impacted in response to these trends. WHY DO WE FACE AN AGING CRISIS? As fertility rates decline and longevity increases we are coming to face a shift in population distribution with a greater proportion of older adults (Anderson and Hussey, 2013). It is important to note that this increase is due particularly to the Baby Boomer generation growing older and associated aging co-morbidities on the rise. The Baby Boomer generation consists of those born from the years 1945-1964 (Berman et al., 2012). As this generation grows older...

...What is "women's migration"? Why does it most often occur? Women’s migration is now more than just joining their partners, today they do so more independently. It occurs due to the fact that women are the primary breadwinners for their families. The global demand for women has drastically increased and more and more jobs are available to them. Explain in three or four sentences the reasons for migration during the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. During the 18th and 19th century the majority of emigration was through the transportation of slaves. Because of the European expansion in the 19th century migration for laborers increased. After the European expansion the next period was due to industrialization in the United States. Postwar economies were also in need of labor in countries such as Europe, North America, and Australia. What is the author's definition of irregular migration? Irregular migration are the people that migrate and are classified as “illegal,” “undocumented,” or “unauthorized.” Entering a country to work without a permit or without a visa would mean that a migrant is irregular. More often than not a migrant enters a country for work and the majority are within the United States. However, some migrants are smuggled or trafficked across boarders. What does the author say that migration matters today? Immigration could be classified as a factor in how our economy is within a demographic crisis. Migrants come in young and hardworking however...

...Brain Drain: Why People Leave their Motherland? (Implications for the Developed and Developing Economies) ‘Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country?’ – John F. Kennedy, Former US President. The need to migrate to another place from where you are is a old habit of the human race. The migration of people from one country to another has both good and bad effects. Good effects on the country that they are migrating to and a bad effect of on the country that they are leaving when it comes to highly educated people and skilled man power. In economic terms, it is known as brain drain. It is now widely known that migration of highly skilled or educated people of one country to another to settle down and work is to improve their economic condition. At about the same time that the United states of America launched its space programme and reduced its immigration laws from other countries to the US, the newly liberated countries of Asia (which includes Sri Lanka) , Africa and Latin America started to develop their economy which required skilled professionals in engineering, educationists, technicians and others. But the migration of these type of professionals to developed countries bottlenecks the development of the poor countries. We can see that the majority of the young or educated people from around the globe are preferring to settle down in the developed countries like USA, UK, Canada, Australia or other European and East Asian...

...~Task 2~ …Refugees Coming To Australia… Refugees are people who fled from their homes in the face of persecution, or threats to their lives. But there is no reason why the Australian government should be obliged to welcome asylum seekers who use illegal methods to come here. We have the responsibility to protect our borders and way of life against what could amount to a huge arrival of immigrants whose backgrounds and possible criminal status are unknown.Australia shouldn’t accept the refugees as they are over populating the country and if we do more and more will come. People believe that asylum seekers deserve a fair go just like everyone else, but why should they if they are receiving everything off tax payers money. With the ever increasing number of refugees entering our country, many Australians are struggling to sustain what they once had. Many Australians were already struggling before the arrival of the refugees, and are only suffering more. Most Australians don’t earn or own substantial amounts of money and with the arrival of the asylum seekers it just puts more strain on them. Many people are now loosing their jobs and houses as they can no longer pay their mortgages, bills and purchase everyday needs as the government believes it is better to support the arrival of asylum seekers. Many Australians are in need of public housing and extra cash and the government seems to be failing its own people and giving it all away to the asylum seekers awaiting processing...

...1. Why and when did you migrate to Australia? We came out to Australia in 1967. We left Scotland on the 3rd of May and arrived on the 5th of May. The reason we come out to um, Australia is that, although I had a good job over in the UK, we were finding it hard to make ends meet. So we come to the land of milk and honey, Australia! 2. Did you have a job when you arrive in Australia? Well my main qualification for work was, I was a qualified mining engineer so I thought I would continue with that in Australia so I had a job with the Belamby Co. Company in New South Wales. But on the way over we stopped in Whyalla in South Australia to see my wife’s parents and in a couple of weeks we had sort of run out of money so I went down to the BHP and they gave me a job as a Project Engineer on the construction of the coal ovens there and the wage was quite good, it was three times what I was getting before. So we stayed in Whyalla longer than we thought we would an I phoned the Belamby Co. Company up and said that we weren’t taking up the job and were going to stay in Whyalla for a little while, which we did and we made a lot of friends there and eventually there was a job in the paper for a production Engineer with Alcoa, which is an aluminium producing company in Geelong and I applied for that and got the job so we moved to Geelong. 3. Who was waiting for you when you arrived in Australia? When we arrived here, we came via Qantas and we flew into Brisbane and had all the...

...Why is Western culture more influential than others? Europeans have been asking this question since the 18th Century, and Africans and Asians since the 19th. But there is still not much agreement on the answers. (http://www.beyondintractability.org/essay/culture-conflict) Why is it that Western lifestyle and entertainment is so much more dominating on a foreign country than vise versa? Why isn't Chinese, Indian, or East African culture and entertainment more appealing to western audiences? While western music, films and activities are massively popular and mainstream overseas. Is there something about it that is inherently more appealing to the average human being? We live in a world where different peoples and cultures have different values, beliefs and truths, many of which are unequal but all of which are valid in their own context. However some cultures hold greater control and influence in our multicultural world and this is gradually becoming an issue to the less culturally prevailing countries. This is multiculturalism, a term which can be defined as the cultural and ethnic diversity of our modern-day world (https://www.dss.gov.au/our-responsibilities/settlement-and-multicultural-affairs/programs-policy/a-multicultural-australia/national-agenda-for-a-multicultural-australia/what-is-multiculturalism) People from new and different cultural groups may be negatively stereotyped and heavily discriminated against because of their differences from a main culture.

...1. wherefore rejoice? 2. Thou hast done this. 3. Why? INTERNAL CHALLENGES: * These exist within the firm and have more to do with optimizing the existing business process flows. These require a proactive approach by the firm to obtain competitive advantage. * Understanding customers, privacy and data security issues with the rise of M2M and BYOD and optimizing billing and revenue management fall in this category. * These result in telcos moving to analytics, automation and EMM solutions. Cloud can act as the base for these solutions. EXTERNAL CHALLENGES: * The external challenges faced by telcos are actually the threats forced by outside competition. These result from competitors eating away their revenue streams or market share. * Pressure to develop value-added services with opex reduction and faster time-to-market, and competition from over-the-top players fall in this category. * The former forces telcos to migrate their existing systems to cloud, thereby becoming a cloud users. Telcos are also trying to develop their own cloud services, which would provide them with an additional revenue stream. * By forming strategic partnerships, mergers and acquisitions and alliances, and bundling their service offerings telcos aim to address the competition from OTT players. Some of my recommendations for TCS are: * The SMACA framework is a very good starting point to build on the solutions. A basic cloud can serve as...
