...force just like men. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer. Write at least 250 words. model answer: Whether women should be allowed to serve in the military has triggered spirited debate. Some assert that the status quo should be changed and women should be entitled to join the armed forces. Personally, I fundamentally agree with their assertion-for three reasons. History has shown that women are fully capable of performing well in the military. Historically, there were a host of valiant women soldiers whose achievements really put their male counterparts to shame. One need only look at the classic examples of Joan of Arc and Mulan to see how exceptionally women could perform on the battlefield. In my observation, their determination, courage and dignity, to this day, are still being admired by male soldiers and civilians alike throughout the world. Moreover, from an enlightened standpoint, female patriots should be granted the right to go to the front line when their motherland is involved in a war. Admittedly, gender inequality was a highly controversial issue in the twentieth century. However, now twelve years into the new millennium, women can learn and teach, work and supervise, vote and voted in most countries just like men. In light of this sweeping progress in gender equality, there is no sense in denying them the right to defend their home country when a war breaks out. In sum, keeping military services out of bounds of women...

...national market or elsewhere. These professionals that are being recruited from other nations are called expatriates, and they are chosen to live in another country either temporarily or permanently. There has been an increase of expatriates starting at the end of the 20th century due to the variety employers are now capable of finding. In fact, globalization has actually doubled the number of expatriates within only a matter of a few years (worldatwork.org). Now, expatriates are recruited based on desired skill and income level. Companies tend to require training for this role in order to ease the transition of both the employee and the family members involved. This training tends to be quite extensive as this is a great undertaking for everyone involved in the move. Though some employees are chosen directly by management to go and others simply volunteer, much is at stake emotionally and mentally. I will discuss the various problems that are encountered by uprooting the lives of the employees and moving to another country, and more importantly another culture. The largest transitional issue encountered is culture shock. Other concerns include missing family and friends back home, losing out on other employment opportunities, not completing projects due to distractions, and some employees even have to leave their immediate family home, further creating lack of focus. There is an assortment of solutions to these dilemmas, which is why the training programs are so extensive. Training...

...Why study abroad? 10 reasons why you should study in a foreign country Have you considered studying abroad, but are not sure whether it's worth your time? If you ask anybody who has studied abroad, he or she will most certainly tell you that it is a life-changing experience and one of the most rewarding things he or she has ever done. Perhaps you're not certain what benefits you can reap from an extended stay in a foreign country. Here are 10 very excellent reasons why you should take the plunge: 1. Study abroad is the optimal way to learn a language. There is no better and more effective way to learn a language than to be immersed in a culture that speaks the language you are learning. You're surrounded by the language on a daily basis and are seeing and hearing it in the proper cultural context. Language learning happens most quickly under these circumstances. [Read why you should learn a language.] 2. Study abroad provides the opportunity to travel. Weekends and academic breaks allow you to venture out and explore your surroundings - both your immediate and more distant surroundings. Since studying abroad often puts you on a completely different continent, you are much closer to places you might otherwise not have had the opportunity to visit. Some more structured study abroad programs even have field trips planned in or around the curriculum. 3. Study abroad allows you get to know another culture first-hand. Cultural differences are more than just differences in language...

...Migration of workers is indications of social, economic, political and environmental problems. High rates of unemployment, low wages, and poor working conditions are symptoms of an imbalance in the labour market that is prevalent in troubled economies. International migration of workers can be a short term benefit for the sending countries as it can help reduce poverty and increase economic growth. However, the long term consequences of a net outflow of skilled workers should be a concern as it deprives a developing country of its value asset of human capital. This can cause a deficiency in services in education, health care and economic productivity. Foreign remittances are very important income sources that contribute to a nation’s GDP and provide resources for families back home but does this justify the long term harm that losing human capital will do to the economical developments? One major problem preventing undeveloped countries from advancing is their human capital deficiency. What is contributing to this continual deficiency is the migration of skilled workers who leave their home country to worker abroad. This phenomenon has been a long existing problem which economist have termed “brain drain”. The depressing reality that is the impetus for this “brain drain” is the simple fact that local jobs cannot satisfy the higher salaries that these skill workers demand. Talented workers with years of experience migrate to better paying jobs abroad and their positions...

...global business? It is not difficult to define this word. By definition, global business basically stands for a business which operates across the globe, rather than just in a country. However, global business is not something new or strange in today’s society, yet the exchange of goods over a great distance has already existed since very long time ago. Back in the Stone Age, anthropologists have already established trading in Europe over a long distance; According to the history, the Silk Road, a historical network of interlinking trade routes for the lucrative Chinese silk trade, is also a type of “global business” back in the old time. Although these two examples cannot perfectly represent what global business is, still, they had the same characteristics. In the 21st century, today’s society, global business has a much bigger and broader meaning, it could include creation and transfer of goods, skills, information, resources, and even services. Resources may include raw materials, capital, and energy, etc.; whereas goods include tangible goods and intangible goods, such as manufactured parts, sub-assemblies, and assemblies. Intangible goods, like service, may include financial, accounting, import and export. It is no longer defined only by the distance or number of offices companies have in countries around the world or how many products they sell internationally, yet, according to an article published on Business Inquirer, by James G. Velasquez, “a true measure of a global...

...illegal to sell, the manufacturer needs to find a way to dispose of it. This is when dumping occurs. Dumping is the exporting of goods at prices lower than the home market prices. It occurs when manufacturers export a product to another country at a price either below the price charged in its home market or below its cost of production. These overseas countries generally do not have qualified health safety standards. Since dumping involves substantial export volumes of a product, it financially affects the manufacturers of the importing country. This is the case with the Tris-impregnated pajamas. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission found that the pajamas contained a flame-retardant chemical Tris, which had been found to cause kidney cancer in children. Because of its toxicity, the sleepwear couldn’t even be thrown away, let alone sold (Barry, Shaw 29). But the pajamas were exported to other countries at 10 to 30 percent of the normal wholesale price. This however is not the only case of dumping. There were also 450,000 baby pacifiers that were exported for sale overseas because they were found to cause deaths in choking babies in the United States. Dumping definitely raises moral issues. Under the world Trade Organization Agreement, dumping is condemned if it causes or threatens to cause injury in the importing country. When manufacturers want to avoid the loss of their products, they resort to dumping. This however can harm people’s health and safety....

...this tour. Introduction: On March 1, 2012, I along with my partner visited an Old Age Home in Gazipur. It was perhaps first time for us visiting an old age home. The moment we entered inside the home we got wrapped in the tranquility surrounding the home. Everybody was inside. Soon, we met a lady – care taker of the home, she led us to an office where we were made to sit. Next to our room, we saw some 15-16 people all old aged; all were engaged in their daily activity. This centre started its activities in Dhaka in 1987 with the initiatives of a rich industrialist of the country. Later the centre was shifted to the outskirts of Dhaka city in a large area at Gazipur District in 1994 and Nobel Laureate Mother Teresa laid the founder stone of its planned rehabilitation centre of 5000 elderly people. At present it has two branches in two districts and a total number of 1500 elderly have full board accommodation with socio-cultural and geriatric facilities. It has large agricultural activities where the elderly participate in gardening, farming, pisi-culture and other related agricultural activities. It has representatives in all 460 sub-districts of the country who disseminate the information and collect poor, helpless elderly people for this centre. It has a different abandoned child and older prostitute rehabilitation activity. The center has future plan to establish ten old home in the Dhaka City with legal aids, geriatric, recreational and...

...Cultural challenge Being the ¨new guy¨ in a different country, city or even in another school or university in the same place is not a comfortable situation for most of the people, but I personally believe that we as a human being have the capacity to adapt ourselves in any situation in our life. Studying in another country is an experience that you must live to understand how is about it and how you can turn it into a positive or in a negative way. I have a friend who went to London to learn English, at first he was suppose to be there for one year, but then, he just stay in there for four months because he does not feel comfortable in that culture. When he returns to Colombia everyone (including me) were making fun of him because London is an amazing city and almost all the people want to live in there, the problem was that why they and me didn’t know is that living in another country requires to makes some changes in your lifestyle and he was not accustomed to this. Nowadays I am in his position and I can understand the big picture of the situation, living in another country is nothing similar compared when you are just for vacations, so you need to adapt yourself to many different things, but the most important one is the new culture that you have just in front of you. According to that, you may change some activities that you usually did or not in your home country, for example, most of the upper and middle class in Colombia have a housemaid so they cook and clean...

...as well; since machines and industries run on electricity. The case focusses on the main issue of countries not being able to meet the demand for electricity. Apart from developing countries like India and China, even developed nations like United State are not able to meet the growing demand of electricity. As electricity is scarce, many countries are facing issues related to brownouts/blackouts and theft of electricity. It is also discussed that there are some countries that have surplus electricity and are willing to sell the excess electricity to its neighboring countries but are unable to do so because due to lack of required infrastructure. In this case, we discuss the issues related to electricity in detail and look for solutions to encounter such problems. It also discusses that companies should take these issues into account when they design build and market their products globally. Critical Issue/Problem Today every country wants to have strong infrastructure and Internet is one of the powerful tool that could contribute widely to this and for internet, a country should have sufficient power.
