...Unemployment in the World Today Today, we face economic struggles that seem to have no end. We face many different problems from our forefathers because things are just different today. Technologies, the way people do even the simplest tasks change everyday and the world has to change along with it. The Unites States has now entered a Recession. “A recession is a general slowdown in economic activity in a country over a sustained period of time, or a business cycle contraction. During recessions, many macroeconomic indicators vary in a similar way. Production as measured by Gross Domestic Product, employment, investment spending, capacity utilization, household incomes and business profits all fall during recessions. (Recession)” Many different people have many different solutions to this recession problem. Some do not even see it as a problem. There are also many different reasons that people believe it happened. The face is that a recession today is not okay. In this essay, I am going to write on unemployment and how it is affecting us today. Unemployment is a huge problem with recessions, people have to work to simply live. However, some unemployment is unavoidable. When people stop working then they get more dependent on the government, and the government really does not need that. Especially when we are so far in debt as we are now. The governments debt of today is $11,047,905,411,741.70 and that is not a good thing for us as Americans or future generations of Americans...

...Joseph Torres Ms. Maldonado English 2 6 October 2013 1984 In Today’s World “1984" was a book that foreshadowed what was going to happen in the future. It seems that some ideas from the book are here in our world today. In "1984" government surveillance was everywhere. No matter where u went, the government knew your every move. Free speech was taken away completely and is possibly eroding in today. The idea of history being manipulated to help shape the government to be one hundred percent correct is also used today. Today, we may not have monitoring systems in our homes but there could be a time where we might have to have a type of telescreen in our house just like the novel “1984”. Because the government has an increasing power to invade your privacy by possibly having our internet activities monitored, and our phone calls tapped we can lack on having a lot of privacy. The police could barge into anyone’s house if they really wanted to; nobody would stop them. On the internet there are many news articles of people having their home searched by police for no reason; one lady had hers invaded just because she is an anti-immigrant activist. Being an anti-immigrant activist is not a crime which means that there was no reason for the police to invade her home. Everyone has the right for free speech but apparently they didn’t care. In "1984", Winston kept a diary where he wrote down all his thoughts that were treasonous. He was too afraid to act on them or speak about them...

...Islam in the World Today Patrick Mallin DeVry University Islam has a major influence within society and not just within the Middle East but all over the world. Depending on what part of the world is looked at, the teachings of Islam are altered slightly just like anything else maybe in different countries. The issue that arises is the thought that Islam has one belief that has been shining in the wrong light, and it is practiced the same way all around the world and by all people. The teaching of Islam will be further explained showing differences in ways it is practiced to prove misconceptions wrong. Another thing that will be focused on is how these teachings compare to Christianity and Judaism which are also found throughout the world. With this information, it allows for interactions of different religious groups to be looked at, and the ability to assess the dynamics of them. With further understanding of each, a more stable society could start to develop. The teachings of Islam are meant for the good of all people, it is designed to eliminate any prejudice and hatred among all people. The basis is that people are all the same, no matter what skin color, job, gender, or social class. Islamic teachings come from the holy Quran which focus’s everything around three principle factors, those being, justice, tolerance, and equality. Justice focusing on the fact that if one would discriminate...

The great impact of the tornadoes that have tore through and tore apart my beloved State and several other States along their paths! The great impact they had, the great impact there is and the great impact there will be in the many long days ahead! This impact is so very far-reaching and has just affected us all! We are mourning and grieving, and yet we are also celebrating life. ...lives actually .... of the many people we may never know - of those who survived and of those who have died - of those most affected by this horrific disaster. The testimony and lives of oh so many will surely scream in agony and defeat while others have already begun to lift up acts of kindness and compassion. Some may spew forth complete and disastrous havoc while others will show and continue to show mercy and love. We have seen and heard of unimaginable tragedies and loss, but we have also seen God's mercy and grace reflected through the many others who have given, contributed and helped and will continue to do so in such a time of need! My heart and my soul - my life - is and will be burdened, touched and impacted by all of these people - the victims and the heros. Life is influenced and impacted through many, many people and through many, many situations in our own lives every day, and we, in fact, acknowledge many of these people and many of these events through birthdays, graduations, achievements recognized...

...The modern world faces many major problems to wihich there are no easy solutions. These include unemployment, helath, over-population and of course the environment. All have a bearing on all our lives, but is the environment really the most important? If people are unemployed, they are unable to earn money ant it is a fact of life that without an income it is difficult to live. Of course, work provides more than financial support; it gives people self-esteem and pride. Unfortunately, technological developments and other factors mean that the job market is shirinking world-wide and young people have reduced prospects for work. Although this is certainly a major threat to people´s well-being, it needs to be addressed by individual governments rather than globaly. Health is clearly an important concern that affects both individuals and the planet as a whole. Even though many illnesses have been eradicated, others remain a thereat and the overuse of antibiotics has led to the development of resistant strains of bacteria. Nevertheless, on the whole, general health is improving, and in the developing coutries medical aid programmes are already working towards creating a healthier population. Over-population has implications for all of us, and improved general helath means that people are living longer. However, as with health, there are already programmes in place implementing measures to deal with not only a rising population, but an ageing population. So what about...

...Learning to be a Christian Leader in Today’s World. There is more to running a Christian based business than hanging a Cross in your window. Gerald J. Zalecki Bluffton University Whether it is in business or our own personal life we all will face struggles in the choices we make. Many times we know the right thing to do but do the opposite because the outcome is more to our liking. It takes more than talking the good talk to really impress and change the world around us. We all need to let our actions and deeds speak the loudest for how we think. The common business ideology is growth and success often mean more then integrity, but what about the Christian in business? For a Christian to succeed in business they need to do more than push their beliefs on others, it means a style of doing business in your community. As we began our look at what it took to be a Christian in the business world we needed to first look at what God wanted from us. Looking into what God wants us to do and how he wants us to treat each other is as simple as opening the Bible. As I read the Sermon on the Mount, in Mathew 5, I heard how God wants us to treat each other fairly and nicely. We are not to make a show of the good things we do we are supposed to just do them. Again in Mathew 6:3 we read, “When you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” In other words do not do good deeds for rewards do them because it is right. Too often we get caught up in...

...Sharon Campbell World War I, Europe & the World The impact of World War I is still with us today. Modern Europe is a direct result of what happened during World War I. For a quick example: because France and England severely punished Germany with reparations, Germans were humiliated, and their economy was in shambles. This led to the rise of Adolph Hitler, WWII, The Cold War, and much of the European history that has followed through cause and effect. Causes of the war were growing nationalism, imperialism, militarism and a system of alliances in Europe. Nationalism is the love of one’s country, but it allows individuals to believe they are better than others, so it makes it easier for them to go to war against each other. Before World War I, Europeans were very nationalistic. Imperialism is the domination of one country by another, and European countries established colonies and dominated other nations around the world for their natural resources and their markets. This was no different than the relationship between England and the American Colonies. England believed the colonies existed for the good of England. They thought it was their right to control colonial trade and tax the colonies. Imperialism put European countries in competition with each other for colonies around the world. Militarism is the policy where a country builds up its armed forces. They developed their navys to protect the sea routes to their different colonies. Clearly each country wanted a...

...WARS NATO After the WW II States of Western Europe and North America watched the expensive policy of the USSR. They found out that the Russian system, especially the dictatorship of the Communist Party, could become dangerous for independent democratic states. This threat stengthened with the events of years 1947-1949 (the putch in Czechoslovakia in February 1948, blockade of Berlin in April 1948). In March 1948 Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the UK signed the TREATY OF BRUSSELS. By this act they decided to build up a system of collective security defence. The negotiation about establishing the NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANISATION was started with the USA and Canada. The Five Brussels‘ states also invited Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Norway and Portugal to participate in these talks. On April 4, 1949 the TREATY OF WASHINGTON was signed and so the states founded the collective security system. In 1952 Greece and Turkey entered NATO. The Federal Republic of Germany joined in 1955, Spain in 1982. In July 1997 three Middle European states were appealed to enter. They were the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland and they entered in 1999. Since the foundation the main interest of NATO has been to ensure the security of the member states. In the Washington Treaty it is said that a military attack against one of the member states is against all of them. Nowadays NATO cooperates with many East and Middle European countries in the field of safety. NATO also participates...

...INCOME AND GENDER INEQUALITY IN TODAYS WORLD In President Obama 2012 State of the Union, he called it "the defining issue of our time." (CNN). Income inequality is the extent to which there is a distribution of revenue unevenly among the population. Unfortunate this creates a gap between the rich and everyone. It also gives the idea whether income distribution is fair or unfair. Income inequality is growing in the market day by day, and it is calculated based on the population present in the economy. The United States has a comparatively high level of income inequality results from labor market changes, changes in household composition, the shift from industrialized employment to high paying technical services jobs, and lower paying retail trade jobs. The argument has deliberated by some who say that in one way, income inequality can fuel economic growth. According to their argument, a greater portion of the rich's income is not spent on consumables, but instead, they are likely to save and invest more (AAUW). As a result of this, there is predictable economic growth due to the increased investment made by those with high incomes over the years. Income inequality is viewed by most people to be a result of government policies that impact the distribution of revenue among its population (AAUW). Gender income inequality is the gap between the income of men and women among the people in the economy. It is the average difference between male and females aggregate hourly income. Through...

...Running head: SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE BUSINESS WORLD TODAY Social Media and the Business World Today Juan Smith Abstract This paper discusses the many different types of social media and how companies can utilize them to increase the company’s profitability and overall success. Many examples of well-known companies are illustrated throughout the paper. It also gives some tips on ways companies can be more lucrative with social media. Social Media and the Business World Today How important is it for companies to be involved with social media? Isn’t that just something for people to post pictures of their dog on, to talk to their friends on, or even to post silly jokes on? Not exactly. Social media is so much more than what it sounds like. Many people and companies do not use social media to be social at all. When utilized correctly, it can be used to win over new customers, retain current customers, and to even promote sales. To begin, there are many different types of social media. To name a few, there are social networking sites, blogs, microblogs, professional networks, and even video or photo sharing sites (23 Types, 2010). A social networking site (SNS) is a website that allows its users to create profiles in which they share with other users of the site whom they have deemed their “friends” (Social Networking).

...food for human consumption. Today more and more lands are being developed for the production of a large variety of crops. In Asia, vast areas of land are being used to produce rice, wheat, rubber and a variety of other crops. More than half of the lands occupied and developed by human beings in the world are devoted to agriculture. That agriculture is one of the most essential means of producing food is realised easily when we think of the types of things that we eat. The rice or wheat that we eat comes from the land. Even potatoes and other roots or vegetables and even leaves such as tea, as well as the fruits that men eat are the products of the soil that covers the earth. In fact, everything that we eat, except meat, fish and other kinds of flesh come from the land, and what grows on the land is part of agriculture. Even the sugar, oil, coffee and other beverages that we use are products of plants that grow on land. In the same way, many of the medicines that we use are made of plants that grow in various parts of the world. The tobacco that we use for relaxation also comes from a plant. Thus, it can be easily observed that without agriculture we would be almost without food. It is true, however, that in the remote past men did live mainly on flesh that he obtained by hunting. But such a kind of life was unhappy and inconvenient, for animals were not found everywhere easily. Therefore, men turned to agriculture for his livelihood. Today, agriculture continues to provide...

...Personal Responsibility in Our World Today Personal Responsibility in Our World Today Gerald Lee GEN/200 November 12, 2012 Kim Marzella Personal Responsibility in Our World Today Whereas some may argue that personal responsibility does not equal maturity or productivity, personal responsibility is very important because it defines an individual as a mature, productive person who takes responsibility for his or her actions and the impact these actions will have on his or her society. What is it to be responsible? Garrath Wiliams defines responsibility as this: “The responsible person can be relied on to judge and to act in certain morally desirable ways; in the case of more demanding (“more responsible”) roles, the person can be trusted to exercise initiative and to demonstrate commitment; and when things go wrong, such a person will be prepared to take responsibility for dealing with things. One way of putting this might be to say that the responsible person can be counted on take her responsibilities seriously. “What is it to be responsible?” The philosophical literature has explored three broad approaches to this question: 1. Human beings have free will, that is, distinctive causal powers or a special metaphysical status that separate them from everything else in the universe. 2. Human beings can act on the basis of reason(s). 3. Human beings have a certain set of moral...

...change that has occurred in the world between 1900 and 2005 is communication. The twenty- first century have more different varieties of communication advantages than back in the nineteen hundreds. These communications includes mail, phone, and even sound languages. In the 1900's most people wrote letters in order to contact loved ones. In the year 2005 most people send an email instead of writing on paper and sending it by mail. The advantages of email are that you don’t have to spend money on paper, pens, and stamps. Sending someone an electronic mail than a letter by mail is a lot easier. Sending an email is also cheaper than sending a letter by mail also. Phones in the 1900‘s were not as good back then than they are now. In the early 1900 hundreds there were no caller id or voice mail. In 2005 people were more aware of who was calling or who had called them because of the expand of phone technology. Cell phones were not invented in the early 1900‘s either. By 2005 people were able to used cell phones even if they were not at home. Sound languages are another variety of communication advantage that occurred between 1900 and 2005. There are more ways to do sound languages now than back then. It was very hard to communicate with deaf people in the early 1900‘s. Now in the twentieth first century, more people are learning sound languages. There are also classes people can take now to learn how to do sound languages. As you can see, the world has changed significantly between...
