Global Economic And Financial Crisis
Many lessons were learned from the aftermath of 2008 global economic and financial crisis. One of
them was the effect that foreign direct investments (FDI) had on the global economy, particularly on
developing countries.
By definition, an FDI is an "investment that involves some ownership and/or operating control. The
foreign residents are usually multinational corporations (MNCs)" (Cohn 412).
The market crash drastically altered the nature of FDI. After consistent growth between 2003 and
2007, investments in developed countries experienced a steep fall, suffering from about a 29 per
cent drop. In contrast, investments in developing countries skyrocketed, peaking at an about 43 per
cent increase (UNCTAD 2009).
However, more revealing than the unexpected turn of events was the way FDI significantly affected,
and was affected by the status of the global economy – showing further importance to one type of
economic entity that naturally comes with FDI, multinational corporations.
This paper will argue that the ever–constantly increasing presence and influence of MNCs prove
that they are entitled to be considered as legitimate global political actors.
Despite the considerable negative connotation that MNCs have garnered, their undeniable enormity
and influence in generating the flow of FDI, their contribution in hastening the distribution of
technology and knowledge throughout the globe, and their status as the absolute major player in

High Tech Inc. is an electronics firm. When the state of the economy is above average or at its
boom, consumers purchase more products of High Tech Inc. than they would if the state of the
economy gets worse. Under this circumstance, we would expect High Tech's stock price to be high
if the economy is well. Thus, High Tech's returns are positively correlated with the economy
because the firm's sales, and hence profits will experience the same ups and downs with the
economy. The opposite holds true with Collections Inc. because the nature of the business is on
collections of past–due debts. If the economy is in recession, people are not expected to pay their
debts on time. Consequently, this firm will be collecting a lot of past–due debts, thus making its
stock price to increase. The opposite will happen if the economy is performing well. This explains
why Collection's expected return moves counter the economy. Collections Inc. is considered by
many investors to be a hedge against bad times and high inflation, so if the stock market crashes,
investors in this stock should do relatively well. Therefore, this stock is negatively correlated with

Essay On Revitalization And Infra-Structural Labor
Rendering Vacancy Technical: Revitalization and Infra–Structural Labor in Chicago
I. Introduction
The City of Chicago is using innovative programs to turn vacant land and buildings, cast as detritus,
into a resource for spurring community–centered development in disinvested neighborhoods.
Focusing on the diverse forms of labor behind Chicago's vacancy initiatives, the proposed research
will examine how these initiatives are reworking the political–economic forces that produce
"landscapes of (dis)accumulation" (Gilmore 2002:15) and recasting historical entanglements of
waste, race and space. This study comes at a critical juncture in U.S. urbanization. Mass

Bridging these literatures enables two theoretical contributions. The first builds on urban political
economy's insight into capital's role in organizing urban landscapes. Scholars in this tradition
demonstrate the destruction brought on by capital's ceaseless pursuit of profit; the political and
discursive technologies that create new frontiers of accumulation in the detritus of this 'creative
destruction' (Harvey 2003); and the dispossession that ensues when devalorized spaces re–enter
capital's radar. Crucial to capital's circulation are 'purification campaigns' (Merrifield 2002) that
render devalorized spaces attractive to new investment. My research focuses on the labor of
purification. By using discard studies insights to study redevelopment politics, I conceptualize the
work of purification as 'infra–structural labor' (Gidwani 2015) that clears land of disinvestment's
residues to accommodate future accumulation. This offers a new way of theorizing the production of
urban space by revealing that pivotal in organizing post–recession landscapes are not only the
profit–seeking actions of finance and real estate capital but also the quotidian labor of
revalorization. Given the confluence of austerity with vacancy, depopulation, and plummeting
property values across the Rust Belt, attention to this labor is timely and illuminates a key site for

Neopopulism And The Dependency Theory
More so, in Durkheim's Division of Labour, progress is linked to urbanisation (Durkheim, 2001).
The large cities are the undeniable core of progress; it is there that the values, needs, ideas emerge,
subsequently to spread to the rest of the country. Generally, change in society occurs owing to them
and to imitating their experience (Valade, 2007). Durkheim identified two basic sources of cohesion:
mechanical solidarity (the case of societies fragmented into family or geographical aggregates) and
organic solidarity. The former results from the association of individuals at an archaic level of
society, which reiterates previous structures and are incapable of structural innovation, as "uniform
beliefs and norms imposed by oppressive laws are the rule" (Doise, 1996); the latter is characteristic
of the maturing stage of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Frequently, these initiatives failed due to governmental interference, weak management and

World–systems theory
Based on dependency theory, Immanuel Wallerstein subsequently developed the world–systems
theory, premised on the relations between developed countries (core nations) and less developed
countries (peripheral nations), shaped by political, economic, historical and geographical factors.
Wallerstein argues that the world capitalist economic system must be analysed as a single unit,
comprising four overlapping elements:
 A world market for goods and labour;
 The division of the population into capitalists and workers;
 An international system of formal and informal political relations among the most powerful

Industrial Development And Population Growth
Industrial development and population growth have created a surge in global demand for energy.
The tension in the Middle East and the sharp rise in oil prices since the 1990's had Western countries
like the US scrambling to secure alternative energy sources. While solar and wind energy is
flourishing, energy industries have pursued more aggressive means of tapping the earth's resources.
Continued mining, drilling, and especially hydraulic fracturing have been a "game changer" for the
US. Although industrialized energy development is making great strides in harnessing the earth's
energy resources, it is also threatening the natural environment and the quality of life in many
communities.
"Fracking" refers to hydraulic or hydro fracturing of rock formations to stimulate and extract natural
gas and oil. The process involves drilling down through sedimentary rocks for thousands of feet,
then sideways for miles, pumping millions of gallons of water, sand, and chemicals at high pressure
to open fractures in the rocks, allowing gas and oil to flow. This relatively new technology is also
being used for resource exploration by geothermal developers. Prior to fracking, it was too
expensive to exploit "shale gas", but it is now being viewed as a way for the United States (US) to
become independent from foreign oil. Fracking also brings a host of new public health and
environmental concerns; drilling chemicals and fracking fluids are highly toxic and include known
carcinogens.

What is Missing?
Pollution has plagued the world and living things within it since the industrial revolution and the
development of new technology. While some people might know the effects of the environmental
disasters that have occurred through the years, other do not. Maya Lin created a collaborative
memorial to try to gear people's attention to the problems being faced in the environment. The
collaborative memorial can easily be accessed by anyone who has a computer and internet access.
For example, the BP oil spill affected a great number of living things and marine animals, due to a
human error and the failure to clear up the problem efficiently. Another example is the Flint Water
Crisis that caused innocent children to become deathly sick due to the lack of necessary chemicals.
Another example about pollution is the Great Smog of 1952, which occurred in London, the smog
lasted for five days and killed about 4,000 people. Most of the people that were affected by the smog
were children, the elderly, and people with respiratory problems. The memorial is meant to shine
light on the living things that are going extinct around us and how we as humans have contributed to
their extinction. Its purpose is to evoke empathy, better understanding, guilt, sorrow, and even rage.
By creating the memorial, everyone's eyes can be open to the negative effects that our pollution has

The goal of entering into the tax treaty is to reach agreement on all important issues. This is made by
way of setting a negotiation procedure, which was previously discussed in the chapter above. The

The Industrial Development Of India
It is stated by the several scholars that British Government never interested to the industrial
development of India. During the British period, the growth of industrial output was hindered due to
the utmost poverty of the rural population of India. The large proportion of the middle–class
population had a taste and choice of imported goods instead to indigenous products. The tariff
protection provided by the British government was not enough to protect the industries because the
government was neither interested in the establishment of industrial plants nor in the development of
banks. Even during the period local industries had not given any preferences at the time of allotting

Though the majority of Southerners didn't own slaves, slaves were used in the South to keep the
revenue up, and slavery was very much a part of the agricultural lifestyle. Political tension between
the North and the South started early when there was disagreement over Henry Clay's American
System. The American System imposed tariffs to support northern manufacturing, federally funded
roads and canals, and supported the National Bank. Northerners were in support of the American
System but the South wasn't on board with the plan. This protective tariff was a tax on imports, and
since the South was receiving most of the imported goods, they got the brunt of the tariff. The South
believed it was unfair that it was putting money into the North's industrial economy when the South
was barely making enough revenue to support itself. While the South provided the Northern
industries with most of the raw materials they needed, the price the North paid for these things were
nothing compared to what the South had to pay for the manufactured goods the North produced. The
opposition to the American System was so strong that South Carolina declared the tariffs void and
threatened to leave the Union. But Andrew Jackson worked with South Carolina and the Union
remained whole. This was the Nullification Crisis of 1832. The two regions clashed politically too.

Textile development during the Industrial Revolution (1780–1850)
In 1968, Eric Hobsbawm said: "Whoever says Industrial Revolution says cotton." Among many
historians the Industrial Revolution is considered as the process in which technological changes led
by the mechanized factories of the cotton industry created large profits for innovators that continued
in succeeding decades. It was the key event in the emergence of modern economic growth, which
led to shifting manufacturing from people's houses and shops to factories. It was a time of vivid
change, from hand tools and handmade items, to the products which were produced by machines.
Nevertheless, life improved, the industrial revolution had some harmful consequences, such as
increased pollution, harmful working conditions, employment of women and children, who were
made to work long and hard hours, etc.
The shift to factories in the United States grew out of a process that began in the British textile
industry. British inventors developed machines to do tasks that have been done by hand. Sometimes
the machines replaced other, older and weaker machines. For example the spinning jenny, which
was run by water power, replaced the spinning wheel; the power loom replaced the hand loom.

FDI within mining sector can therefore have significant impacts, positive, as well as negative.
Positive impacts can include increased employment, better health care, improved infrastructure and
schooling. On the negative side there may be disruption of traditional cultures, environmental
degradation, basic commodity price increases, population displacement, land use conflicts and loss
of livelihood (Danielson and Lagos, 2001).
This is particularly true for the environment. Preliminary evidence suggests that under appropriate
framework conditions, foreign investments in mining frequently have higher environmental
performance compared to domestic operations, due to new technologies and practices they bring
with them. On the other hand, when these framework conditions, such as effective environmental
regulation and transparent public governance, are not in place, there is a risk that serious
environmental and social damage can occur.
The mining industry has in recent years turned its attention to the environmental impacts of its

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization
The United Nations Industrial Development Organization(UNIDO) defines 'Corporate Social
Responsibility'(CSR) as "a management concept whereby companies integrate social and
environmental concerns in their business operations and interactions with their stakeholders". The
term is explained through a "Triple–Bottom–Line Approach" as being the way through which a
company achieves a balance of economic, environmental and social imperatives ("Triple–Bottom–
Line") while at the same time addressing the expectations of shareholders and stakeholders
(Elkington, 1997). This approach assumes a very significant light in today's dynamic world where
every aspect of life is inter–connected in a very mysterious fabric, where the alteration of one can
affect the others in ways beyond comprehension. Corporate Social Responsibility, both as a term
and concept, started becoming popular in the 1960s, when industrialization which sprouted in the
Industrial Revolution was fixating its roots all across the world. Industrialization can be defined as
the "period of social and economic change that transforms a human group from an agrarian society

The Influence of the Communist Manifesto on the...
The Communist Manifesto left a tremendous impact on a society that was rapidly becoming
industrialized, and its effects can even be seen on the dominating economic system of the twenty–
first century. In the later nineteenth century, however, industrial capitalism was on the brink of ruin.
"On many occasions during the past century, Marxists have thought that capitalism was down for
the count . . . Yet it has always come back with renewed strength." Industrial capitalism succeeded
in the face of communism, despite numerous economic disasters. As the capitalist economists
hopefully noted at the time, these economic earthquakes, temporary in character, soon cured
themselves and left capitalism unscathed. Karl Marx sought to create ... Show more content on

Despite the continuation of capitalism, the middle class successfully emerged as the dominating
class in our society. As Lewis Corey states, "Workers were becoming capitalists, the capitalists
becoming workers." Industrial capitalism spawned a middle class, molded the exact same way that
Marx predicted in his major work. In establishing the goals of the Communist party, Marx stated,
"In the national struggles of the proletarians of the different countries, they point out and bring to the
front the common interests of entire proletariat, independently of nationality." Once again, the
Communist Manifesto espouses capitalistic ideas. By the end of the twentieth century, industrial
capitalism reached a monumental point in its history; the economic system was almost completely
global. Securities traded in markets around the world could be purchased by almost anyone,
regardless of nationality or location. As John Gurley states, "At the present time, the advanced

The Environmental Disasters Of The World And Living Things...
Pollution has plagued the world and living things within it since the industrial revolution and the
development of new technology. While some people might know the effects of the environmental
disasters that have occurred through the years, other do not. Maya Lin created a collaborative
memorial to try to gear people's attention to the problems being faced in the environment. The
collaborative memorial can easily be accessed by anyone who has a computer and internet access.
For example, the BP oil spill affected a great number of living things and marine animals, due to a
human error and the failure to clear up the problem efficiently. Another example is the Flint Water
Crisis that caused innocent children to become deathly sick due to the lack of necessary chemicals.
Another example about pollution is the Great Smog of 1952, which occured London, the smog
lasted for five days and killed about 4,000 people. Most of the people that were affected by the smog
were children, the elderly, and people with respiratory problems. The memorial is meant to shine
light on the living things that are going extinct around us and how we as humans have contributed to
their extinction. Its purpose is to evoke empathy, better understanding, guilt, sorrow, and even rage.
By creating the memorial, everyone's eyes can be open to the negative effects that our pollution has
caused the world. The memorial also provides ways people can make a difference in the world

Industrial Farm Animal Production
Industrial farm animal production (IFAP) is a recent development in how humans manage their food
supply. This essay outlines benefits of IFAP, and then uses a Marxist framework to analyse the
negative ramifications of this type of animal production.
Using domestic animals primarily for meat is relatively recent. For thousands of years, domestic
animals were exploited for renewable purposes such as milk, wool, traction, riding, and pack
transport. These purposes were prioritised until an animal reached the end of its useful life,
whereupon it might then be eaten.
Today, the livestock sector employs 1.3 billion people and one–third of humanity's protein intake
comes from livestock products. Livestock ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Global agricultural production doubled four times between 1820 and 1975. Intensified animal
production was seen as a way of providing food security and better nutrition. Pigs and cows began
to be raised on factory farms in 1960s North America. Production shifted from the traditional model
of extensive decentralised family farms to a more concentrated system of fewer producers and much
larger numbers of animals confined in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO).
Global numbers
The increasing demand for livestock products is predicated by availability but also influenced by a
combination of population growth, rising incomes, and urbanisation. Brazil and China have seen
remarkable increases in consumption, though still trail most other industrialized countries. Global
annual production is projected to increase from 218 million tons in 1997–1999 to 376 million tons
by 2030. Worldwatch Institute reported that IFAP accounted for 30% of world meat production in
1990; as of 2006, 74% of the world 's poultry, 43% of beef, 50% of pork, and 68% of eggs were
produced this way.
The shift from traditional stock rearing practices to IFAP is ongoing in an increasing number of
countries. This shift is more pronounced in Asia than in other developing regions, as Asia has a
shortage of land but an abundance of relatively cheap labour.

church or the court (Dobney). Famous composers, such as Beethoven and Mozart, would play at
venues that the church or royalty designated. With the rise of the middle class, and the poor wanting

orchestras, a larger string section, woodwinds, brass and percussion instruments. People now know
this to be called the Orchestral Standardization, the string instruments were located in the front of
the orchestra, with the woodwind behind, followed by the brass instruments, and the precision
instruments in the very back (Detrick). Orchestras made of these instruments were capable of rich
and varied sound combinations ideally suited for the new Classical form of the symphony (pg 546

century achievement motivation becomes a critical variable. In a bid to achieve this feat, it is
therefore necessary to examine through this research work if there exist a relationship between
achievement motivation and industrial development. A viable work force is germane in the industrial
sector of a country to stimulate industrial growth and prosperity. But the backwardness in Nigerian

imperative to X–ray, if there could be an impact of an individual intrinsic achievement motivation
on industrialization. Owing to the fact that high productivity is the goal every individual and
organizations so wished to attain. This has not easily come by. It is therefore the onus of this

achievement motivation on the part of the individual workers. There is a significant decline in the
standard of living of the people, based on available evidence. Despite government effort at raising
the standard of living of the people through industrialization all the efforts have proved abortive,
hence the need for this research. It is therefore crucial to unravel through this research work if there

HARCOURT MUNICIPAL)
ABSTRACT
This study focused on "The Role of Achievement Motivation in Industrial development: A study of
Port Harcourt Municipal. The onus of the research was to X–ray the extent to which the role of
achievement motivation from childhood could be instrumental to industrial development in
Nigerian. In addition, some of the major objectives were to discover if the values of a given soda–
economic milieu and achievement motivation could have a blend and affect a nation's level of
industrial development; to unravel the existence of low level of achievement values and lack of
industrial growth.
The researcher raised some hypothesis. These hypotheses were to establish if there is a significant
relationship between the inability to inculcate achievement motivation in an individual and low level
of its contribution to industrial development later in life; also to find out, if the more a family
inculcates achievement values in a child through socialization, the more, or the higher the tendencies
for the child to work hard and contribute meaningfully to industrial development.

Industrial Revolution : The Rapid Development Of Industry
According to the Oxford English Dictionary the term 'Industrial Revolution' is defined as "the rapid
development of industry that occurred in the late 18th and 19th centuries, brought about by the
introduction of machinery...characterised by the use of steam power, growth of factories, and the
mass production of manufactured goods." . However, although this may be a commonly shared view
of this period, the concept of the Industrial Revolution is widely debated amongst various historians.
Whilst many feel the term well describes the changes taking place within industry, trading and the
new energy being used at the time, some historians find the concept problematic due to its
implication that the changes of the time happened at a 'revolutionary' pace whereas it instead took
150 years for the transition to be fully implemented. Similarly, other historians find difficulties with
the term and come to question; was the revolution solely down to an industrial change or was this
period in history due to other changes within Britain which then impacted and caused the Industrial
Revolution? As the two main bases of the concepts term 'industrial' and 'revolution' can be
questioned, it can be argued that the 'Industrial Revolution' is not the most helpful concept to
account for the changes taking place between the mid–eighteenth and early nineteenth century, only
to a certain point as it fails to account for other characteristics and changes of the period.

The Roots of Poverty and Globalization
The Question: Globalization and poverty
Once the Era of apartheid had come to an end in 1994 the internationally development community
entered South Africa promoting the microcredit model with high hopes to empower the poorest
black communities to break loose from the poverty spiral, however the Microcredit model was seen
to be having the complete opposite effect, ultimately causing incredible damage to the area. The
microcredit model was supposed to be the means of bringing sustainable development to the
extreme poor areas. The model has been named the "anti–development" intervention (1), because in
practice it has only shown that it supports consumption spending. The poor are worse off than ever
before; to keep up with the obligations of repaying their microloans, they are forced to sell the few
assets they own or borrow money from friends or relatives or even worse take up new microloans in
order to pay for the old ones. This is not the only downfall of this type of so called sustainable
development; another problem that emerges from this is that the actual businesses emerging form
microloans are anything but businesses elevating poverty. The type of business that has been arising
from the microloans have only created hyper–competition amongst all the new businesses as well as
the old ones, leaving about 40% of the South African population repaying debt. The poorest and
most vulnerable are left behind to take care of themselves drowning in debt, while the private banks

In order to increase productivity of the fast changing economy, the Industrial Revolution presented
new organizational strategies. Small parts of a much larger manufacturing development, known as
outwork system were carried out in many individual homes. The outwork system was essential,
especially for making footwear. The major step–forward was under the factory system. This system
allowed work to be performed on a large scale in a single centralized location. A group of
businessmen, Boston Associates would recruit a large number of New England farm girls to operate
the machines in their new factories.
In the early 1800's, at the compassion of the Industrial Revolution was the rise of wage labor which
took advantage of working people. Textile workers went to strike in the early 1820's protesting wage
and factory conditions. In 1823, a mill located in Lowell, Massachusetts was famous and closely
controlled. The mill mainly employed females which was an asset to both the employee and
employer. The preference of female employees was cheaper than that of a male. These females were
often referred to as Lowell girls and the consensus was that they benefited by experiencing a new
kind of independence outside the traditional male–dominated family farm. Housing the young
women in an environment was admired because it was safe and known to be culturally beneficial.

selling of stocks in such a market. The more liquid in the stock market is the more the investors will

The ecological costs of making the materials in the Maquladoras result in chemical wastes into the
local air, soil, and water systems. The Maquiladora companies are responsible for the short and
long–term environmental degradation inflicted on the local area, which is not factored into the cost
of production. One of the main reasons, however, as to why not all countries can be as industrial
productive as the U.S., is simply because it is materialistically impossible. The carrying capacity of
the earth's natural resources cannot handle the consumption rate of the U.S. if it is applied to the rest
of the world. If, for example, we note that the six percent of the world's population who live in the

The Industrial Revolution caused a major development in social history with major changes in
manufacturing, transportation, and agriculture that had an intense effect on socioeconomic and
cultural conditions in Europe that then spread to North America and eventually around the world,
influencing almost every aspect of everyday life and society. Looking through sources from the time
period, it is easy to see how lives were changed due to the advancements in technology that
improved manufacturing, agriculture, and transportation. After intently studying these phenomena,
many Historians agree that all of these major changes were the main effect of the Industrial
Revolution, but they may disagree on the causes of this event.
Most historians, such as T.S. Asthon and David S. Landees, can agree that the Industrial Revolution
brought on a huge change in society. It changed the way in which people thought, worked, and
performed their everyday activities. However, a number of historians debate over what the actual
cause of the Industrial Revolution was, what it actually impacted and how it did. They also debate
over the actual starting date. Many historians argue that the thing that started off the revolution
occurred when England began to trade with foreign countries. The first time this kind of trade was
seen at a large, impacting scale, was the Triangular Trade. This new trade set up with England,

Global Economic And Financial Crisis

  • 1. Global Economic And Financial Crisis Many lessons were learned from the aftermath of 2008 global economic and financial crisis. One of them was the effect that foreign direct investments (FDI) had on the global economy, particularly on developing countries. By definition, an FDI is an "investment that involves some ownership and/or operating control. The foreign residents are usually multinational corporations (MNCs)" (Cohn 412). The market crash drastically altered the nature of FDI. After consistent growth between 2003 and 2007, investments in developed countries experienced a steep fall, suffering from about a 29 per cent drop. In contrast, investments in developing countries skyrocketed, peaking at an about 43 per cent increase (UNCTAD 2009). However, more revealing than the unexpected turn of events was the way FDI significantly affected, and was affected by the status of the global economy – showing further importance to one type of economic entity that naturally comes with FDI, multinational corporations. This paper will argue that the ever–constantly increasing presence and influence of MNCs prove that they are entitled to be considered as legitimate global political actors. Despite the considerable negative connotation that MNCs have garnered, their undeniable enormity and influence in generating the flow of FDI, their contribution in hastening the distribution of technology and knowledge throughout the globe, and their status as the absolute major player in modernization and globalization through ...

High Tech Inc. is an electronics firm. When the state of the economy is above average or at its boom, consumers purchase more products of High Tech Inc. than they would if the state of the economy gets worse. Under this circumstance, we would expect High Tech's stock price to be high if the economy is well. Thus, High Tech's returns are positively correlated with the economy because the firm's sales, and hence profits will experience the same ups and downs with the economy. The opposite holds true with Collections Inc. because the nature of the business is on collections of past–due debts. If the economy is in recession, people are not expected to pay their debts on time. Consequently, this firm will be collecting a lot of past–due debts, thus making its stock price to increase. The opposite will happen if the economy is performing well. This explains why Collection's expected return moves counter the economy. Collections Inc. is considered by many investors to be a hedge against bad times and high inflation, so if the stock market crashes, investors in this stock should do relatively well. Therefore, this stock is negatively correlated with the economy. b.

Introduction The City of Chicago is using innovative programs to turn vacant land and buildings, cast as detritus, into a resource for spurring community–centered development in disinvested neighborhoods. Focusing on the diverse forms of labor behind Chicago's vacancy initiatives, the proposed research will examine how these initiatives are reworking the political–economic forces that produce "landscapes of (dis)accumulation" (Gilmore 2002:15) and recasting historical entanglements of waste, race and space. This study comes at a critical juncture in U.S. urbanization. Mass foreclosures in the wake of the housing crisis exacerbated the vacancy, population ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Bridging these literatures enables two theoretical contributions. The first builds on urban political economy's insight into capital's role in organizing urban landscapes. Scholars in this tradition demonstrate the destruction brought on by capital's ceaseless pursuit of profit; the political and discursive technologies that create new frontiers of accumulation in the detritus of this 'creative destruction' (Harvey 2003); and the dispossession that ensues when devalorized spaces re–enter capital's radar. Crucial to capital's circulation are 'purification campaigns' (Merrifield 2002) that render devalorized spaces attractive to new investment. My research focuses on the labor of purification. By using discard studies insights to study redevelopment politics, I conceptualize the work of purification as 'infra–structural labor' (Gidwani 2015) that clears land of disinvestment's residues to accommodate future accumulation. This offers a new way of theorizing the production of urban space by revealing that pivotal in organizing post–recession landscapes are not only the profit–seeking actions of finance and real estate capital but also the quotidian labor of revalorization. Given the confluence of austerity with vacancy, depopulation, and plummeting property values across the Rust Belt, attention to this labor is timely and illuminates a key site for theoretical and policy ...

  • 7. Neopopulism And The Dependency Theory More so, in Durkheim's Division of Labour, progress is linked to urbanisation (Durkheim, 2001). The large cities are the undeniable core of progress; it is there that the values, needs, ideas emerge, subsequently to spread to the rest of the country. Generally, change in society occurs owing to them and to imitating their experience (Valade, 2007). Durkheim identified two basic sources of cohesion: mechanical solidarity (the case of societies fragmented into family or geographical aggregates) and organic solidarity. The former results from the association of individuals at an archaic level of society, which reiterates previous structures and are incapable of structural innovation, as "uniform beliefs and norms imposed by oppressive laws are the rule" (Doise, 1996); the latter is characteristic of the maturing stage of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Frequently, these initiatives failed due to governmental interference, weak management and conflicts with other forms of production (Payne, 2011). World–systems theory Based on dependency theory, Immanuel Wallerstein subsequently developed the world–systems theory, premised on the relations between developed countries (core nations) and less developed countries (peripheral nations), shaped by political, economic, historical and geographical factors. Wallerstein argues that the world capitalist economic system must be analysed as a single unit, comprising four overlapping elements:  A world market for goods and labour;  The division of the population into capitalists and workers;  An international system of formal and informal political relations among the most powerful countries, whose competition with one another helps shape the world ...

  • 9. Industrial Development And Population Growth Industrial development and population growth have created a surge in global demand for energy. The tension in the Middle East and the sharp rise in oil prices since the 1990's had Western countries like the US scrambling to secure alternative energy sources. While solar and wind energy is flourishing, energy industries have pursued more aggressive means of tapping the earth's resources. Continued mining, drilling, and especially hydraulic fracturing have been a "game changer" for the US. Although industrialized energy development is making great strides in harnessing the earth's energy resources, it is also threatening the natural environment and the quality of life in many communities. "Fracking" refers to hydraulic or hydro fracturing of rock formations to stimulate and extract natural gas and oil. The process involves drilling down through sedimentary rocks for thousands of feet, then sideways for miles, pumping millions of gallons of water, sand, and chemicals at high pressure to open fractures in the rocks, allowing gas and oil to flow. This relatively new technology is also being used for resource exploration by geothermal developers. Prior to fracking, it was too expensive to exploit "shale gas", but it is now being viewed as a way for the United States (US) to become independent from foreign oil. Fracking also brings a host of new public health and environmental concerns; drilling chemicals and fracking fluids are highly toxic and include known carcinogens. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

With some research I have done regarding this question, I will have to completely agree that we help other more than we help ourselves. With United States having great economic success, we can, and do, give more aid to other countries than anyone else. Yes, United States takes care of its own issues before helping the other countries, but helping others is in our culture to help other people or countries in need.

  • 15. The Environmental Disasters Of The World And Living Things... What is Missing? Pollution has plagued the world and living things within it since the industrial revolution and the development of new technology. While some people might know the effects of the environmental disasters that have occurred through the years, other do not. Maya Lin created a collaborative memorial to try to gear people's attention to the problems being faced in the environment. The collaborative memorial can easily be accessed by anyone who has a computer and internet access. For example, the BP oil spill affected a great number of living things and marine animals, due to a human error and the failure to clear up the problem efficiently. Another example is the Flint Water Crisis that caused innocent children to become deathly sick due to the lack of necessary chemicals. Another example about pollution is the Great Smog of 1952, which occurred in London, the smog lasted for five days and killed about 4,000 people. Most of the people that were affected by the smog were children, the elderly, and people with respiratory problems. The memorial is meant to shine light on the living things that are going extinct around us and how we as humans have contributed to their extinction. Its purpose is to evoke empathy, better understanding, guilt, sorrow, and even rage. By creating the memorial, everyone's eyes can be open to the negative effects that our pollution has caused the world. The memorial also provides ways people can make a difference in the world where living ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

This is made by way of setting a negotiation procedure, which was previously discussed in the chapter above. The negotiation itself is something more than just a mere conversation; it is an interaction being held with a purpose to reach a mutually beneficial agreement, where both parties are ready to establish a compromise even if altering their initial positions. For parties, the negotiation process is a tool for solving complex issues and reaching an aimed outcome. Regarding it as a tool, it is important to know how to use it, since the successful outcome may depend on various factors. First of all, identifying one's objectives and proper investigation of the particular issues concerned play a significant role in the negotiation, since a failure of doing so may lead to the disadvantage. For instance, if the one party has no proper understanding of the problem being discussed it may agree to the provision which is rather disadvantageous or confuse and react defensive which may affect ...

During the British period, the growth of industrial output was hindered due to the utmost poverty of the rural population of India. The large proportion of the middle–class population had a taste and choice of imported goods instead to indigenous products. The tariff protection provided by the British government was not enough to protect the industries because the government was neither interested in the establishment of industrial plants nor in the development of banks. Even during the period local industries had not given any preferences at the time of allotting contracts. The evidences found from the review of various ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... [28] See A.I. Levkovsky, op. cit., pp. 78, 305, 335. After facing a long time political pressure government of India was relieved in 1947. Since that time India had been noticed a continuous change in the entrepreneurial history of the India. Due to the freedom, entrepreneurs gained substantial confidence and self–belief and pursued towards the fulfillment of their entrepreneurial desires with a new energy. The people expectations from the government were at altitude for the betterment of their life, including the entrepreneurs who were expecting necessary infrastructure facility for the development of the country's economy as a whole. The regional development and need of employment stipulated the path for the establishment of new ventures in the country. Government of India understood the need to formulate a scheme for achieving the balanced regional growth and for the development of the economy. To rejuvenate and to develop the existing industries once again, Government of India launched the first Industrial Policy, 1948 this policy was revised from time to time (Kuchhal1963). After some times, the Government came forward with the Industries (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957. But the main change had been noticed after the adoption of planning commission in 1951.

The change that occurred was, for the most part, the result of the industrial development. The industrial advancements in the early 1800s had a huge amount of consequences, both positive and negative. But the industrial development from 1800 to 1860 affected the North and the South in hugely different ways. The prominent differences eventually caused an amazing amount of tension between the two regions as they moved in completely separate directions. Mainly, the North and the South differentiated when it came to cultures, economies, and political views. With the dawn of the 19th century, there were three revolutions that completely altered the United States. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Though the majority of Southerners didn't own slaves, slaves were used in the South to keep the revenue up, and slavery was very much a part of the agricultural lifestyle. Political tension between the North and the South started early when there was disagreement over Henry Clay's American System. The American System imposed tariffs to support northern manufacturing, federally funded roads and canals, and supported the National Bank. Northerners were in support of the American System but the South wasn't on board with the plan. This protective tariff was a tax on imports, and since the South was receiving most of the imported goods, they got the brunt of the tariff. The South believed it was unfair that it was putting money into the North's industrial economy when the South was barely making enough revenue to support itself.

The relationship between taxation and technological developments have always been dynamic and complex. The internet represents the greatest technological revolution since the industrial revolution. Data show that there is approximately $xxx billion trade occurring through e– commerce, with xxx billion internet users and xx billion domain names as of 20142 and this number keeps changing every second. This paper takes a look at the current tax issues relating to e– commerce and profit shifting and also the new OECD framework aimed at addressing these challenges. Tax Issues Governments and tax authorities face the same problems whilst trying to tax digital or online businesses: "what is the appropriate nexus that permits the application of tax jurisdiction over cross– border sales?" Concerns have been expressed that e–commerce could result in base erosion and profit shifting [BEPS]. Consumption taxes are levied on the principle of taxation at the place of consumption and according to rates set in individual country or state. E–commerce, however, has the potential to undermine the application of domestic and national tax rules.

The history of fabric and textiles Textile development during the Industrial Revolution (1780–1850) In 1968, Eric Hobsbawm said: "Whoever says Industrial Revolution says cotton." Among many historians the Industrial Revolution is considered as the process in which technological changes led by the mechanized factories of the cotton industry created large profits for innovators that continued in succeeding decades. It was the key event in the emergence of modern economic growth, which led to shifting manufacturing from people's houses and shops to factories. It was a time of vivid change, from hand tools and handmade items, to the products which were produced by machines. Nevertheless, life improved, the industrial revolution had some harmful consequences, such as increased pollution, harmful working conditions, employment of women and children, who were made to work long and hard hours, etc. The shift to factories in the United States grew out of a process that began in the British textile industry. British inventors developed machines to do tasks that have been done by hand. Sometimes the machines replaced other, older and weaker machines. For example the spinning jenny, which was run by water power, replaced the spinning wheel; the power loom replaced the hand loom. These machines were small enough to be placed in the cottages. But later, people invented bigger and more powerful machines, which needed a huge space to be positioned. This was the reason why people started to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

It is argued that only those countries that have reached a certain income level can absorb new technologies and benefit from technology diffusion, and thus reap the extra advantages that FDI can offer. The mining industry in Nigeria is dominated by oil. Indeed, Nigeria is the largest producer of this commodity in Africa and sixth largest producers in the world. This research study makes use of secondary data. The variables used are the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), gross domestic product (GDP), output of mining industry and per capital flight (KF). This study covers a period of 31 years that spans between ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... FDI within mining sector can therefore have significant impacts, positive, as well as negative. Positive impacts can include increased employment, better health care, improved infrastructure and schooling. On the negative side there may be disruption of traditional cultures, environmental degradation, basic commodity price increases, population displacement, land use conflicts and loss of livelihood (Danielson and Lagos, 2001). This is particularly true for the environment. Preliminary evidence suggests that under appropriate framework conditions, foreign investments in mining frequently have higher environmental performance compared to domestic operations, due to new technologies and practices they bring with them. On the other hand, when these framework conditions, such as effective environmental regulation and transparent public governance, are not in place, there is a risk that serious environmental and social damage can occur. The mining industry has in recent years turned its attention to the environmental impacts of its activities, and in particular is addressing the issue through the Global Mining Initiative (www.globalmining.com) and the Mining, Minerals and Sustainable Development Project (MMSD) which is addressing the issue of the contribution of the mining sector to sustainable development ...

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization The United Nations Industrial Development Organization(UNIDO) defines 'Corporate Social Responsibility'(CSR) as "a management concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and interactions with their stakeholders". The term is explained through a "Triple–Bottom–Line Approach" as being the way through which a company achieves a balance of economic, environmental and social imperatives ("Triple–Bottom– Line") while at the same time addressing the expectations of shareholders and stakeholders (Elkington, 1997). This approach assumes a very significant light in today's dynamic world where every aspect of life is inter–connected in a very mysterious fabric, where the alteration of one can affect the others in ways beyond comprehension. Corporate Social Responsibility, both as a term and concept, started becoming popular in the 1960s, when industrialization which sprouted in the Industrial Revolution was fixating its roots all across the world. Industrialization can be defined as the "period of social and economic change that transforms a human group from an agrarian society into an industrial one". Just like the correlation and dependence of the various aspects of life with each other, it is seen that CSR and Industrialization shared their space of mutual effects as well.

The collaborative memorial can easily be accessed by anyone who has a computer and internet access. For example, the BP oil spill affected a great number of living things and marine animals, due to a human error and the failure to clear up the problem efficiently. Another example is the Flint Water Crisis that caused innocent children to become deathly sick due to the lack of necessary chemicals. Another example about pollution is the Great Smog of 1952, which occured London, the smog lasted for five days and killed about 4,000 people. Most of the people that were affected by the smog were children, the elderly, and people with respiratory problems. The memorial is meant to shine light on the living things that are going extinct around us and how we as humans have contributed to their extinction. Its purpose is to evoke empathy, better understanding, guilt, sorrow, and even rage.

Industrial Farm Animal Production Industrial farm animal production (IFAP) is a recent development in how humans manage their food supply. This essay outlines benefits of IFAP, and then uses a Marxist framework to analyse the negative ramifications of this type of animal production. Using domestic animals primarily for meat is relatively recent. For thousands of years, domestic animals were exploited for renewable purposes such as milk, wool, traction, riding, and pack transport. These purposes were prioritised until an animal reached the end of its useful life, whereupon it might then be eaten. Today, the livestock sector employs 1.3 billion people and one–third of humanity's protein intake comes from livestock products. Livestock ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Global agricultural production doubled four times between 1820 and 1975. Intensified animal production was seen as a way of providing food security and better nutrition. Pigs and cows began to be raised on factory farms in 1960s North America. Production shifted from the traditional model of extensive decentralised family farms to a more concentrated system of fewer producers and much larger numbers of animals confined in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO). Global numbers The increasing demand for livestock products is predicated by availability but also influenced by a combination of population growth, rising incomes, and urbanisation. Brazil and China have seen remarkable increases in consumption, though still trail most other industrialized countries. Global annual production is projected to increase from 218 million tons in 1997–1999 to 376 million tons by 2030. Worldwatch Institute reported that IFAP accounted for 30% of world meat production in 1990; as of 2006, 74% of the world 's poultry, 43% of beef, 50% of pork, and 68% of eggs were produced this way. The shift from traditional stock rearing practices to IFAP is ongoing in an increasing number of countries.

Industrial Revolution : The Rapid Development Of Industry According to the Oxford English Dictionary the term 'Industrial Revolution' is defined as "the rapid development of industry that occurred in the late 18th and 19th centuries, brought about by the introduction of machinery...characterised by the use of steam power, growth of factories, and the mass production of manufactured goods." . However, although this may be a commonly shared view of this period, the concept of the Industrial Revolution is widely debated amongst various historians. Whilst many feel the term well describes the changes taking place within industry, trading and the new energy being used at the time, some historians find the concept problematic due to its implication that the changes of the time happened at a 'revolutionary' pace whereas it instead took 150 years for the transition to be fully implemented. Similarly, other historians find difficulties with the term and come to question; was the revolution solely down to an industrial change or was this period in history due to other changes within Britain which then impacted and caused the Industrial Revolution? As the two main bases of the concepts term 'industrial' and 'revolution' can be questioned, it can be argued that the 'Industrial Revolution' is not the most helpful concept to account for the changes taking place between the mid–eighteenth and early nineteenth century, only to a certain point as it fails to account for other characteristics and changes of the period.

The microcredit model was supposed to be the means of bringing sustainable development to the extreme poor areas. The model has been named the "anti–development" intervention (1), because in practice it has only shown that it supports consumption spending.

This is not the only downfall of this type of so called sustainable development; another problem that emerges from this is that the actual businesses emerging form microloans are anything but businesses elevating poverty.

Reduction of Natural Resources Essay Reduction of Natural Resources Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to make known the negative social implications of the "catching–up development myth" through globalization and to break down specific concepts of vertical and lateral oppression from the top natural resources consumers of oil in the world. This paper also demonstrates my interest in creating biological and economic equity in the world through breaking down these oppressive frameworks and hence, my interest in obtaining knowledge about alternative energy uses to be used as a tool to help liberate others in places of need. The "catching up development myth" as explained by Maria Mies and Vandana Shiva in Ecofeminism, is the idea that underdeveloped countries ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The ecological costs of making the materials in the Maquladoras result in chemical wastes into the local air, soil, and water systems. The Maquiladora companies are responsible for the short and long–term environmental degradation inflicted on the local area, which is not factored into the cost of production. One of the main reasons, however, as to why not all countries can be as industrial productive as the U.S., is simply because it is materialistically impossible. The carrying capacity of the earth's natural resources cannot handle the consumption rate of the U.S. if it is applied to the rest of the world. If, for example, we note that the six percent of the world's population who live in the U.S. annually consume 25 percent (which we discussed in class) of all the oil energy produced, obviously, it is impossible for the rest of the world's population, of which 80 percent live in poor countries, to consume energy on that scale. How can the concept of "catching –up" be true? Maria Mies explains " In my opinion, the powers that dominate today's world economy are aware of this, the managers of the transnational corporations, the World Bank, the IMF, the banks and governments of the club of rich counties; and in fact they do not really want this universolization because it would end their growth model." She goes on to explain how this oppressive framework is often masked by such euphemisms as 'North–South relations', 'sustainable ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 72. Organizational Development Heralds From The Industrial Era... In the midst of one of our many design sessions, a member of the team expresses how he's feeling the sense that he's "in this alone", that he doesn't feel any support from the team. With that a stark shift is felt in the room, both in the way the conversation and the concept under scrutiny is being approached by everyone at the table – away from pure analytical reductionism towards an appreciative approach of discovering the possibility beyond the potential issues, the basis for innovation in all respects. His personal experience awoke us to good practice. (Petousis, Journal 4, 12 May 2015) Organisational development heralds from the industrial era, and was primarily focussed on efficiency in working roles, as well as the effective communications for the supply chain to function smoothly (Beckhard, 1969; Garrow, 2009). In that landscape the realms of personal life and personal experience were determined as mere distractions from the work at hand. What is being alluded to in the above excerpt (which is explained further below) is the power of subjective experience in the modern context of organisations. In the modern context the simplicity of the industrial era's inputs and outputs, the role–based formulas for successful operations are commonly challenged (Martins & Terblanche, 2003; Nadler & Tushman, 1999; W. O. Nilsson, 2009). This is especially true in a creative economy, where innovation is in the limelight, and new models are being called for to overcome the inefficient ...

  • 78. The Industrial Revolution Caused A Major Development... The Industrial Revolution caused a major development in social history with major changes in manufacturing, transportation, and agriculture that had an intense effect on socioeconomic and cultural conditions in Europe that then spread to North America and eventually around the world, influencing almost every aspect of everyday life and society. Looking through sources from the time period, it is easy to see how lives were changed due to the advancements in technology that improved manufacturing, agriculture, and transportation. After intently studying these phenomena, many Historians agree that all of these major changes were the main effect of the Industrial Revolution, but they may disagree on the causes of this event. Most historians, such as T.S. Asthon and David S. Landees, can agree that the Industrial Revolution brought on a huge change in society. It changed the way in which people thought, worked, and performed their everyday activities. However, a number of historians debate over what the actual cause of the Industrial Revolution was, what it actually impacted and how it did. They also debate over the actual starting date. Many historians argue that the thing that started off the revolution occurred when England began to trade with foreign countries. The first time this kind of trade was seen at a large, impacting scale, was the Triangular Trade. This new trade set up with England, Europe, Africa, the Americas and the West Indies caused a boom in the economy for ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
