in chapter two. Here I would like to present the most frequently used process-oriented definition by Jane Knight, (2004), “Internationalization of higher education is the process of integrating international and intercultural dimensions in to the functions of post-secondary education. Since then, number of initiatives and programs undertaken by government, institutions and organizations that facilitate the change in both scope and…
Cities and capitals of commerce were forged by the advancement of industrial factories. Computerization and expansion of invention has, “given rise to a nation of services” (Thompson). Fears of a future “World Without Work” have spurned from an exponential development of these technologies, but concerns have arisen that a factor meant to escalate these advancements, might be corrupting its pace. Most would grant that advancements of technology, due to immense work and sheer luck are the…
years, [have] been a physical modification of self… extend[ing] our physical selves” to excel in ways our bodies were not capable of; however, now humanity is “addressed with an extension of the mental self,” persisting us to communicate, think, and function differently (Case). Tools ranging from the first ignition of fire to recent expansions within computational devices have mirrored both the physical and mental evolution of mankind; devices cannot progress on their own, however it is the…
It’s no secret that the world is technologically advancing faster than most can keep up with; however; in the realm of healthcare, that is not necessarily a negative thing. As new health related applications for phones, laptops, and tablets develop, so does in-office medical tools, out of office medical tools, and software. As a plethora of new technology develops in the healthcare field, the overall quality of life, life expectancy, care at home and in-office, the quality of that care,…

Meier’s dark and depressed days were finally over when she made a friend through her MySpace account named Josh. Josh was the most friendly, and cute boy she ever met. Moreover, he was the first boy who called her pretty. As…
1.5. Enzyme-Polysaccharide Interactions Proteins and enzymes have become an integral part of many industrial processes as well as being applied both in cosmetics and in therapeutics. Due to advances in biotechnology and genetic engineering, mass production of protein and enzymes has become feasible. Use of enzymes is environmentally friendly as they catalyse reactions under mild conditions against polluting inorganic catalysts which works in the extremes of pH and temperature. However, this can…
If one of the machines should malfunction, machine one would be the appropriate choice for a back up. The chances of machine one breaking down is far less possible than the other two machines. Reliability is the probability that a machine will function properly for a specified time (Heizer, J. and Render, B. 2010). I recommend the following things to keep the machines up and running with the best possible efficiency: regular/preventative maintenance and well-trained personnel.…
The exponential growth of social media has spurred the creation of a unique form of communication in today’s culture. What do I meme? The use of the Internet meme has served as a phenomenon that has changed the way people communicate and have had a notable influence on forms of cultural expression. Memes are defined as, “an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from one person to another in a culture and often altered in a creative or humorous way (i.e. images, phrases, snapshots, gifs,…
for occasional problems, which may actually be ‘normal.’ Similarly, DTC drug ads have also been criticized for redefining menopause as a hormone-deficiency disease rather than a normal midlife experience,” (Ventola). This results in average body functions and phenomena get placed into a category of “curable” by these advertisements, selling otherwise healthy people an unneeded drug. This can result in an overmedication of a population like the United States of New Zealand, the only two counties…
Ever wonder what the world would be like with even less rainforests or possibly none at all? Well, if tropical rainforest deforestation doesn’t lessen then the world will soon find out. The rainforests are being cut down at an immensely dangerous rate and little to nothing is being done to grow the forests back up again. The rainforests are being destroyed and the impact of it is beginning to become awfully serious. Human beings must start using the rainforests more sustainably and efficiently…
