Here are two examples of egoism in Ray Bradbury's short story "The Veldt":
1. The Hadley parents are more concerned with their own leisure time than properly supervising their children. They allow the nursery to raise and entertain the children so they can relax, showing they value their own comfort over their parental duties.
2. The children, Wendy and Peter, become so enthralled by the virtual African veldt created by the nursery that they no longer value real human interaction. They manipulate the nursery's settings to terrorize their parents just so they can stay in their make-believe world, demonstrating they only care about satisfying their own desires.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
Communicating effectively and consistently with students can help them feel at ease during their learning experience and provide the instructor with a communication trail to track the course's progress. This workshop will take you through constructing an engaging course container to facilitate effective communication.

Academic Collaboration Network (ACN), established by Boston University’s Susilo
Institute for Ethics in a Global Economy
Your university is a member of this network
The ACN is a global faculty community designed to advance business ethics, research,
teaching and practice. Members of the network collaborate on research, teaching and
outreach activities relating to business ethics.
For the first time we are working with students from all 6 of the ACN network partners
to deliver a virtual case competition where you will be working in teams across time
zones and continents on a case provided by Indian multinational Mahindra & Mahindra.
More information about the ACN network: http://www.bu.edu/susilo/faculty-
research/susilo/our-programs/academic-collaboration-network/
4. What is a case competition?
In a case competition, participants strive to develop the best
solution to a business or education-related case study within an
allocated time frame
Teams in case competitions are tasked with assessing a situation
facing an organisation, analysing available information, crafting a
solution, and defending their recommendations to competition
judges.
The case competition concept originated in the United States.
Competitions can be internal to a business/management school, or
they can involve teams from multiple schools.
5. History of case competitions-
Boston & Newcastle
Since 2014 Boston University Questrom School of Business and
Newcastle University Business School students have collaborated on
an annual ‘Transatlantic Case Competition’.
Competitions require students to work across time zones and
continents working in a team on a business case set by a global
company
Previous case competitions have looked at innovative financial
payment methods, and devising a strategy for a global consultancy
firm to expand its private equity market in North America
“We learned to carry out primary and secondary research to
make recommendations on a real business problem for a real
company. I think the biggest obstacle we had to overcome was
working through different time zones between the US and the
UK” - Ashley Castillo, part of 2014 winning team
6. This ACN global case competition will be involving students from the following;
Boston University Questrom School of Business (USA)
The Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (India)

Tips: Your Teammates
Be committed! Case runs for 2 ½ weeks and
you will need to work hard during this period
Make contact, swap details and get to know
each other as soon as possible
Create a schedule and stick to it. Be aware of
time zone differences, class schedules and
website restrictions (e.g. China)
Appoint a team spokesperson to report back
progress to the competition organisers
You will all have different working styles- part
of the challenge is learning to adapt to this!
Ensure all team members are allocated
responsibilities (the prize money will be split
evenly between winning team members)
USE YOUR MENTOR!

Team Mentors: What is a mentor?
‘Mentors are people, who through their action and work, help others to achieve
their potential.’ (Shea, 1992)
Each team will be appointed an academic AND alumni mentor
Mentoring is an established tool, used by organisations to develop individuals
and help them reach their potential. Each team will receive one mentor who
can provide and guidance on your strategy.
The word “Mentor” comes from the Greek Mentōr, the name of the adviser of
the young Telemachus in Homer’s Odyssey. Its general definition is “an
experienced or trusted adviser”, whereas ‘to mentor’ is to advise or to train
someone, especially a younger colleague.
‘A process which supports learning and development, and thus performance
improvements, either for an individual, team or business.’ Parsloe & Wray (2000)
13. Mentoring- Expectations
We will be introducing each team to their mentor via email, then it will be
the team’s responsibility to contact their mentor
Mentoring is a powerful development tool and mentors have volunteered their
time to help you. Please use them!
The mentors are busy people- so please do not rely on them to communicate
with you on a daily basis!
We have indicated to mentors they should aim to dedicate 1-2 hours per week
working with you
Ask your mentor how they would prefer to communicate with you (some may
prefer email, some may prefer to have video calls with you, some may prefer to
iMessage, WhatsApp or WeChat you
Each team must contact their mentor at the end of the competition to inform
them of the competition result
14. Challenges
We expect you to find the competition challenging. Below are some challenges which may arise in
your team and our suggestions on how to resolve them. Please contact your competition organiser
if you have any problems!
1. “Someone in my team/our mentor isn’t responding to emails and is not collaborating with
the team” Don’t give up- keep getting in touch and try not to get too frustrated. Let your
competition organiser know as soon as possible. If we don’t know there is a problem, then we
cannot help!
2. “We can’t find a suitable time for the team to meet up” This is part of the challenge! If you
go on to work for a global firm you will be expected to make time to work with colleagues who
may be in a different time zone/continent to you. There be may times when the entire team is
not required to meet at once- think about allocating responsibilities out to avoid the team having
to meet every day. Find out what your teammate’s strengths and weaknesses are and choose
communication tools which will facilitate virtual collaboration.
3. “People in the team have very different working styles” Again, this is part of the challenge!
We are expecting you to find it difficult working in such a diverse team, as you will all have your
own expectations and different ways of working. Be patient, considerate and learn to adapt.
15. 4. I’ve never created video content before/ My teammates want to use
WeChat/WhatsApp to communicate, but I’ve never used it before”
Again, this is part of the challenge! We don’t expect you to become
experts in video production, but we need you to try your best- the way you
deliver your video is up to you as a team. You can choose to film
yourselves, or create slides and film them- be as creative as you can! Using
new communication tools such as WhatsApp and WeChat will help you
learn other methods of virtual collaboration, which you may find useful in
the future!
5. “I’m not sure if the website I’ve suggested is accessible in China”
There are a lot of websites which will help you determine whether a
certain site is blocked in China. We recommend:
http://www.blockedinchina.net/
16. Virtual Communication Methods
We have written a document which
gives you some ideas about
communication tools you may consider
using- this will be shared with teams
It is the team’s decision how they would
like to work and it is your responsibility
to schedule time to work together,
selecting the method (s) of
communication you would like to use.
Your mentor may have experience of
working internationally- so ask them for
advice on virtual communication
methods if you are struggling!
Try and use different communication
tools- be creative!
17. Last year’s students said…
“This competition really pushed us to improve
communication and organisational skills... We had to
communicate difficulties and prior commitments with
the rest of the team and be willing to adapt
accordingly.”
“Although at times we were frustrated by the
challenges we faced…this was a hugely enjoyable and
educational experience for everyone on the team. It
enabled us to learn and research an unknown topic,
improve our team working abilities, make new friends
and learn how to work effectively in an international
team, which will no doubt prove useful in our future
career paths.”
“As a team with multiple perspectives, we couldn’t
have reconciled each individual’s cultural sensitivities,
different opinions and experiences without a common
denominator- empathy.”
