The document discusses the use of child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo's civil war since 1998 over control of valuable resources like minerals used in electronics. The armed groups that use child soldiers make money by controlling mines or taxing miners. The high demand for tantalum used in electronics contributes to the use of child soldiers, as more children are forced to take over territory and collect payments to supply the mines. An estimated 30,000 child soldiers, some as young as 9, including 1/3 girls, are used in the conflict. The Enough Project works to end child labor and soldiers in Congo through social media campaigns to educate and put pressure on companies to stop sourcing "conflict minerals" that fund armed groups.

This document summarizes a study on how South African newspapers frame mobile phone use in development reporting. The study examined 6 articles using content analysis software, Wordle word clouds, and qualitative textual analysis. Key findings were that newspapers primarily framed mobile phone use in terms of mobile banking, industry, and using phones to address health issues like HIV. The analysis also found evidence that Western influences of cultural imperialism shaped some of the framing of development stories around mobile technology use. The researcher concludes by discussing implications of the findings and proposing ideas for future related research.
The Context of Global Communication
This presentation discusses the context of global communication. It defines global communication as sharing information among nations through various means like speaking, writing, and technology. After the Cold War, the role of global communication changed due to technological advancements and international relations. The Internet now allows for effective communication through tools like email and social media. Global communication works to connect, share, and mobilize across geographic, political, economic, social, and cultural boundaries.
Globalization & ICTs
ICTs such as the internet, mobile phones, and digital technologies have eroded barriers of time and space, allowing for swift global communication flows. ICTs play an important role in globalization by facilitating the sharing of information worldwide and enabling real-time interaction across borders. While ICTs can promote development by increasing access to information, a digital divide still exists between developed and developing nations in infrastructure and skills. Both positive and negative consequences can arise from increased global media, including greater connectivity but also risks of exclusion.

Globalization has led to the development of a "global village" through advances in communication technology that allow information to spread instantly worldwide. This interconnectivity means distant countries are now interrelated through trade, communication, and shared cultural experiences. While the global media has the potential to spread diverse views democratically, it can also promote the dominant ideologies and values of powerful Western countries through "cultural imperialism". The United States in particular dominates global media markets, raising concerns that local cultures may be diluted or subordinated to Western commercial interests.

Citizens making stuff happen
Citizens in East Africa are making things happen despite lack of faith in governments and development efforts. Twaweza aims to support citizen-led change by enabling information sharing through existing networks like mobile phones, media, teachers, and religious groups. Examples of Twaweza's work include monitoring learning outcomes, water point functionality via SMS, and radio shows to stimulate public debate. The approach may help shift incentives away from unaccountable governments and toward empowering citizens to compel change from the bottom-up through existing social structures. Experimentation is needed but communication networks offer opportunities for citizen knowledge and action.

Globalization, Mobility and Inequality
Globalization leads to both increased mobility of goods, services, and people, as well as rising inequality. While it allows consumers access to cheaper goods and workers opportunities to find jobs abroad, it also benefits wealthy multinational corporations and widens the gap between rich and poor. However, globalization also improves living standards over time as technology and ideas spread more widely. Countries that embrace open trade see economic growth and improvements in health outcomes. Overall, globalization is defined as the integration of human activity worldwide and is generally a positive force when governments reduce trade barriers and restrictions on mobility to maximize freedom.

President Kennedy and Black Civil Rights
Kennedy came from a wealthy Irish-American family that faced discrimination. As President, he took some steps to advance civil rights like enforcing desegregation and protecting Freedom Riders, but often reacted to crises rather than taking proactive steps. He grew to support the movement more over time under pressure from events like the Birmingham protests and James Meredith's enrollment at the University of Mississippi with federal support. Overall, Kennedy made some progress but also faced limitations from the political climate and international tensions.

The document summarizes New Zealand's path to becoming a nuclear-free nation, including actions taken against French nuclear testing in the Pacific in the 1970s, growing anti-nuclear sentiment among New Zealanders, and the suspension of the ANZUS alliance after the 1984 Labour government established a nuclear-free policy banning nuclear-armed or powered ships from NZ ports. Key events included Prime Minister Kirk sending ships to protest French tests, a World Court ruling against France, and over 70% public support for the nuclear-free zone by the 1980s.
Child Labour
This PowerPoint presentation aims to educate students about child labor by having them learn key facts and statistics about the issue. It will define child labor and describe where it commonly occurs, such as Asia, Africa, agriculture, domestic work, manufacturing, and more. Students will learn that over 250 million children work, with 120 million working full time, and that child labor violates their rights and can be physically dangerous. The presentation also discusses common causes of child labor like poverty, lack of education access, large family sizes, and few legal protections for children. It provides examples of companies that have used child labor and suggests actions people can take to address the issue.
Napier earthquake
A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the towns of Hawkes Bay, Napier, and Hastings in New Zealand on February 3, 1931, killing 256 people. The violent shock lasted nearly 3 minutes and created large clouds of dust, making it difficult for people to breathe. The earthquake severely damaged the region's economy, causing the GDP to drop 45%, though tourists later visited Napier to view the destruction despite the ongoing Great Depression.

The Mt. Tarawera eruption of 1886 was one of the most devastating volcanic events in New Zealand's history. [1] On June 10th, 1886 in the early morning, Mt. Tarawera violently erupted, sending ash and rock over the nearby landscape. [2] The nearby villages of Te Wairoa and Rotomahana were buried in mud and ash, with over 120 people killed. [3] The eruption destroyed the famous pink and white silica sinter terraces near Lake Rotomahana, devastating the local tourism industry and affecting communities across New Zealand.
SS Penguin shipwreck cleared
The SS Penguin sank off the coast of Wellington, New Zealand in 1909 after hitting rocks in rough seas. There were 105 passengers and crew onboard. Lifeboats and rafts were launched but capsized in the rough conditions. None of the children aboard survived. Many passengers and crew drowned or died from hypothermia after spending hours drifting in the icy waters before being rescued. The sinking resulted in the deaths of over 30 people, leaving the survivors to mourn the tragic loss of life.
PowerPoint for the introduction lesson
The document summarizes major events from the end of World War 1 through the early 1940s that led to the start of World War 2. It describes how the Treaty of Versailles imposed harsh terms on Germany after WWI, fueling German resentment. In the 1930s, dictators in Germany, Italy, and Japan pursued aggressive expansionism and ignored treaty obligations, facing little resistance. Hitler remilitarized the Rhineland, annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia, and signed a pact with the Soviet Union before invading Poland in 1939, launching World War 2.
The Middle Ages Introduction
The document provides an introduction to the Middle Ages period from 500AD to 1500AD. It summarizes the key events of the Early Middle Ages including the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the rise of Islam, barbarian rule in Europe, the creation of the Carolingian Empire by Charlemagne, and the emergence of knights and feudalism. It also discusses the three waves of invasions that occurred from the 800s to 900s, including attacks from Vikings, Magyars, and Muslims, which led to the development of castles and knights.
The Middle Ages introduction and overview
The Middle Ages were the period in European history between 500-1500 AD. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD. Key events in the Early Middle Ages included the rise of Islam and barbarian kingdoms, as well as the rule of Charlemagne. Europe faced invasions from Vikings, Muslims, and Magyars in the 800s-900s, leading to the rise of feudalism and knights. The High Middle Ages saw increased stability, growth of towns/cities, Crusades, and the establishment of kingdoms like England and universities.
Introduction to Ancient Greece powerpoint
The document provides background information on ancient Greece, including its geography, development of city-states, and rivalry between Athens and Sparta. The mountainous landscape of Greece encouraged the formation of independent city-states along the coasts but also isolated communities. Athens developed the world's first democracy while Sparta was known for its powerful warrior culture and discipline. The two city-states eventually went to war in the Peloponnesian War, during which a plague helped lead to Athens' defeat.
Ho Chi Minh summary
Ho Chi Minh was a Vietnamese nationalist leader who led Vietnam's independence movement in the 20th century. He had a fierce commitment to Vietnamese nationalism and was willing to use force to achieve independence from France. He also believed Vietnam should be communist based on his experiences traveling and being influenced by Marxism. Though he initially declared Vietnam's independence in 1945, the country was soon divided and he spent the rest of his life fighting for reunification through leading the Viet Minh resistance against France and later against the US-backed South Vietnam.
Ho Chi Minh Identity summary
Ho Chi Minh was a Vietnamese nationalist leader who fiercely fought for Vietnam's independence from France. He became committed to communism after experiencing colonial exploitation in Vietnam and other countries. As the founder of the Indochinese Communist Party and Viet Minh, he led resistance against French and Japanese occupation. In 1945, he declared Vietnam's independence but was forced to continue fighting France to defend the Democratic Republic of Vietnam they had established. This led to the Indochina War from 1946 to 1954 in which Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Minh used guerrilla tactics against the French forces.
Child Labour Presentation
The document discusses the issue of child labour around the world. Some key points:
- 218 million children work under harsh and dangerous conditions instead of attending school
- Child labour deprives children of their childhood, health, education and development
- Poverty is a major driving factor, as families rely on children's wages for survival
- Agriculture, services, and industry are major sectors where children work instead of school
- International agreements recognize children's right to be protected from exploitative work
- Improving access to education and reducing poverty are seen as crucial to ending child labour
The leadership of the provisional government
The document summarizes the leadership of the Provisional Government in Russia after the February Revolution in 1917. Prince Lvov was initially appointed Prime Minister to lead until new elections could be held. Alexander Kerensky became an important figure as Minister of Justice and Minister of War, and replaced Lvov as Prime Minister in July. Kerensky aimed to continue the war effort against Germany while implementing liberal reforms, but faced challenges gaining widespread support.
The kornilov affair
General Kornilov staged an attempted takeover of the Russian government in August-September 1917 because he had a very conservative attitude and wanted to crack down on the growing revolutionary sentiment in Russia. His coup attempt backfired and forced the provisional government led by Kerensky to release Bolshevik leaders like Lenin from prison and rearm their Red Guard military wing in order to defeat Kornilov, which greatly strengthened the Bolsheviks' position and helped them come to power.
Lenin’s body and red square
Lenin's body has been on display in Red Square in Moscow since his death in 1924. His body lies in a glass display case inside a mausoleum built on Red Square, where Russian leaders would stand on platforms built on the mausoleum to view military parades. Today, Red Square remains a prominent location in Moscow where parades and celebrations continue to be held.
Legal ages ppt
Legal ages establish the minimum age at which a person can participate in certain activities, with standards applied consistently across New Zealand. Key legal ages relate to safety, age-appropriate behavior, protection from exploitation, and responsibility. Reasons for legal ages include ensuring the safety of young people, enforcing societal norms about maturity levels, preventing the exploitation of minors, and acknowledging that children are less culpable for their actions.
Cold war origins conference summaries
The Soviet Union and Western allies became Cold War enemies due to tensions that emerged between Soviet leader Stalin and new U.S. President Truman at the Potsdam Conference in 1945, as Stalin sought to create a buffer of Eastern European states under Soviet control while the West feared this was Soviet aggression. The Yalta and Potsdam Conferences saw the Allied powers discuss how to administer defeated Germany, but a change in U.S. leadership and the development of the atomic bomb weakened earlier agreements between Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill.
Anschluss images and text
The document provides a quick review quiz with answers about key people and events related to fascism in Spain and Germany in the 1930s. It asks which Spanish city was destroyed by the Luftwaffe (Guernica), which nation opposed the Fascists in Spain (Russia), which countries had a political union banned by the Treaty of Versailles (Austria), the word beginning with 'A' meaning political union (Anschluss), and the pact Germany tore up by invading the Rhineland (Locarno). There is then background information on Germany's annexation of Austria in 1938.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水

Child Soldiers in the DRC and the phone in your pocket...
- 1. Child Soldiers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
- 2. How are mobile phones leading to the use of child soldiers? • There has been a civil war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo since 1998. • The war is the world's deadliest conflict since World War II, killing 5.4 million people. • The sides are fighting for control of valuable resources like gold, tin and tungsten and tantalum (used in mobile phones and computers to improve battery performance). • Child soldiers are used by most sides in the conflict. The armed groups that use them make money by controlling mines or ‘taxing’ the people who work in them. • The purchase of many mobile phones and computers contributes to the use of child soldiers. The higher the demand for tantalum, the more children are used to take over territory and collect payment from mines. • The DRC has one of the largest numbers of child soldiers (estimated at 30,000). Some are as young as nine. • 1/3 of the soldiers are young girls.
- 3. Enough! Is an organisation that set out to end the use of child labour and child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the box labelled ‘Breaking the Link’ write down any methods you might use to draw attention to this issue. No idea is too bizarre or unrealistic!
- 4. Using the ideas on the board…. Write down: A practical idea that you think would have a powerful impact. The idea that you believe would simply not work (and why!) The idea that would be great in an ‘ideal’ world but not the one we live in…
- 5. What the Enoughproject does: Use social media to educate.
- 6. What the Enoughproject does: Use celebrities to get attention.
- 7. What the Enoughproject does: • Use Social Media and online petitions to put pressure on companies to use conflict-free minerals. • The Enoughproject organises itself around the idea that if awareness leads to consumers changing their spending habits then companies will stop sourcing the 3Ts from countries where child soldiers are used. • Visit http://www.raisehopeforcongo.org/ and complete the webquest sheet.
