Globalism

From the off, I 'm going to put some perspective to this amount of almost 100 billion pounds per year: this figure equates to e-commerce still being in its infancy... numerically. The reality is.... the amount won 't keep the National Health Service open for long, realistically, nine to ten months tops. Cumulatively, if the number tripled you possibly could make a statement that e-commerce is a credible solution; alas, to run a country with a populous of 65 million, the bill / receipt is 700…

Question: Does globalization diminish the role of the modern-nation state in favour of international institutions?

The “long 1960s,” the period that stretched from 1954 to 1975, followed the second World War of the century; even the name connotes the new scale of the world. People could be interconnected, especially as new technologies could communicate liberal philosophies across the globe. White students living in American cities could read “Third World” liberation theories and find applicability in their own self-styled liberation…

Breaking The Glass Ceiling November is fast approaching along with the pressure on who to vote for. This year’s candidates come from two completely opposite backgrounds. Hillary Clinton is the first female nominee to be nominated for presidency; she was the elected democratic nominee. Donald Trump is an entertainer and a business man; he was the elected republican nominee. Voting is already an extremely tough decision to make. However, this year’s vote decisions seem to be much worse than the…

Funding for drones has increased dramatically since the year before 9/11 where it stood around 284 million. Currently, $4.6 billion dollars is spent in drone related technology, a reduction from FY16’s budget by $1.2 billion. This reduction in spending for aerial type drones is due to the need for other unmanned drone technology, such as the Navy’s new line of unmanned undersea vehicles that are used to detect sea mines, or the land drones used in the army to disarm bombs or perform…

Demotivators of Japanese English-as-a-Foreign-Language Learners ' Oral Fluency The increasing use of English in global business and international communication has led many countries to emphasize English as a foreign language (EFL) in their education systems. In Japan, compulsory English education extends from elementary school to high school. However, oral fluency continues to be a weak point in Japan’s education system when compared to written and reading skills. One possible reason for this…

Such institutions stand as more capable and comprehensive political…

past two decades, economic liberalisation by global productivities has been increasingly expanding and persisting the advancements of western economic growth (Stehr & Strasser, 2004, p. 4). Many people from developed countries have prospered from ‘globalism’ (Robertson, 2003, p. 4) as a result of cross-border trade and investments.
