    The South won the Civil War. History says that the North won but in my opinion that is not true. The North won the fighting but what were they fighting for? They were fighting to end slavery. They did not achieve this goal. Yes, slavery was legally abolished but it started right back up again in other forms. First there was sharecropping. Than Confederate soldiers took office. That only made matters worse. Then after they took office they managed to pass Jim Crow laws and Black Codes. The South definitely won the Civil War.…

The first is the decline in barriers to the free flow of goods, services, and capital that has occurred since the end of World War II. The second factor is technological change, particularly the dramatic developments in recent years in communication, information processing, and transportation technologies.…

    In reading bell hooks' opinion about sexism and misogyny I had to admit to myself that I had no idea what she meant by sexism and misogyny. So, to accurately know what she was referring to, I looked them up on the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary. For the word sexism, I found there were two meanings that support hooks' ideas: 1: prejudice or discrimination based on sex; especially: discrimination against women and 2: behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex. The word misogyny, according to Merriam-Webster, is: a hatred of women. With these definitions, I feel that both words with their meanings truly expose what bell hooks is telling us what Americans, and it seems she talks about the black…

    As globalization continues to spread over the world, many countries are beginning to feel its effects. One example is the auto industry. The automobile business is evolving rapidly on a worldwide basis. Japanese car and parts manufacturers are merging, component design and manufacture are now frequently outsourced instead of being created in-house, brands are changing and the giant automobile companies are expanding deeper into providing financial services to car buyers. Meanwhile, all of the biggest, most successful automobile industry firms have become totally global in nature. Globalization is in evidence throughout the automobile industry. Mail order brides are also a good example of the impact of globalization, by integrating more of Russian culture into the western world and vice versa. Economically, this practice can help boost the groom’s country because many of these women choose to enter the workforce once they are married into western society. It is also financially beneficial for Russia because many of the matchmaking services are located there, bringing in money to boost their economy. Ultimately, the mail order bride industry of Russia has a positive impact on the process of globalization and the economies of both the western and non-western countries involved. The last example is one that I will analyze further in this essay, illustrating and detailing how the effects of globalization can be seen in the economic developments within India’s economy. India and the U.S. have been building their international relationships and the changes are quite noticeable in a variety of India‘s markets, including the impact of foreign investments on these markets.…

    The term 'globalisation' has been subjected to a variety of interpretations. Though it may simply mean global interconnectedness, it includes a number of interlinked and complex economic, technological, cultural, environmental and political processes. As a student of Law in A‘levels the idea of how the future will be linked to technology and what pro’s and con’s does it hold for us caught my attention. In the beginning, it was my notion that the advancement in the technology is a result of globalisation.…
