Practical ethics
1. The document discusses the concepts of relative and absolute poverty. Relative poverty refers to poverty in industrialized nations where basic needs are met, while absolute poverty refers to extreme poverty in developing countries where basic needs are not met.
2. Singer argues that extreme poverty is a "moral equivalent of murder" because it leads to avoidable deaths, though others disagree due to differences in motivation, duties, outcomes, and identifiable victims and perpetrators.
3. Singer presents an argument that if we can prevent something bad without comparable cost, we ought to do it. He argues this means we have an obligation to prevent some absolute poverty. However, others object based on
Glocalization: Time-Space and Homogeneity-Heterogeneity
Roland Robertson defines globalization as 'the compression of the world as a whole' and sees it as involving both homogenization and heterogenization. He disagrees with views of globalization as solely homogenizing or as a consequence of modernity alone. Robertson introduces the concept of 'glocalization' to describe how the global is adapted to local conditions, resulting in increasingly differentiated consumers. He argues that the local should be seen as an aspect of globalization rather than in opposition, as globalization reconstructs locality through linking localities simultaneously.
Brainstorming
Brainstorming is a technique for generating ideas creatively as a group. It involves deferring judgment on ideas, focusing on quantity over quality of ideas, welcoming unusual ideas, and building on others' ideas. The method was developed in the 1940s and popularized in the 1950s as a way to improve idea generation among employees. Key aspects of brainstorming include defining the problem, selecting participants, generating ideas freely without criticism, and later evaluating and building on ideas. It is commonly used in business for problem solving, opportunity finding, and quality improvement processes.
David Hume
Three key principles govern causality detection according to studies of human judgment and David Hume's theory:
1) Consistency - There must be a consistent connection between the cause and effect for a causal association to form.
2) Number - The strength of a causal association increases with the number of cause-effect pairings.
3) Superiority - When multiple potential causes are present, the one most reliably preceding the effect will be judged as the primary cause.
Modern philosophy
This document summarizes key modern philosophers and their contributions to epistemology. It discusses rationalists like Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz, and empiricists like Locke, Berkeley, and Hume. It focuses on Descartes' method of doubt and criterion of truth, Hume's views that all knowledge comes from experience and his skepticism of concepts like God and causality, and Kant's synthesis of rationalism and empiricism.
Creative Thinking Skills
The document discusses various tools and techniques for managing creative thinking skills and overcoming conceptual blocks to creativity. It describes attribute listing, brainstorming, visioning, the Kipling method, problem statements, and challenge methods as tools for defining problems, creating new ideas, and developing a creative climate. It also discusses types of conceptual blocks like constancy, compression, and complacency that can limit creative thinking.
Determinism and indeterminism
According to hard determinism, all human actions are entirely caused by preceding events and not by free will. This means people are not responsible for their actions. Soft determinism or compatibilism holds that determinism is compatible with freedom and responsibility, as when our actions are caused by our own choices rather than external forces we are still free. Indeterminism posits that certain decisions occur by chance without causes, opening up the possibility of real freedom and moral responsibility.
Kantian Ethics
The document is a series of copyright statements by Lawrence M. Hinman dated 08/18/15. It includes 30 copyright statements numbered consecutively from 11 to 30. The final two paragraphs discuss Kant's view that morality must be fair and evenhanded, and that following a Kantian path offers a kind of moral safety in an uncertain world.

Digital globalization:new era of global flows
Voluminous and ever growing flows of data and information is now generating more economic value than the global goods trade.
Conventional wisdom says that globalization has stalled.
Though the global goods trade has flattened and cross-border capital flows have declined sharply since 2008
Yet globalization is not into reverse mode.
Rather, it is entering a new phase defined by soaring flows of data and information.
Digital flows were practically nonexistent just 15 years ago
Now exert a larger impact on GDP growth than the centuries-old trade in goods(McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) report, Digital globalization: The new era of global flows.)
This shift makes it possible for companies to reach international markets with less capital-intensive business models.
New risks and policy challenges associated must be addressed.

Mind Mapping: What is it? by MindProject
Mind mapping is a graphic technique developed by Tony Buzan to organize ideas and concepts generated by both hemispheres of the brain in a radial, graphical format. It represents ideas as a central concept with associated thoughts branching out, allowing for creativity and organization.

The strategic plan looks 3-5 years into the future and considers the organization's mission, goals and resources needed to achieve them, while the budget defines the near-term 1 year view. An example is provided of a nonprofit that shifted to align its annual budgets more closely with its new 3 year strategic plan, which helped improve focus and performance. Challenges and tips for effective strategic planning and budgeting processes are also discussed.

The overall message is thorough planning and research are essential to capitalize on new business opportunities.
ASSESSMENT CENTRE
An assessment centre is the final stage of the selection process used by many employers. It involves a series of exercises over one or two days to evaluate candidates on competencies required for the job. Exercises may include group discussions, role plays, presentations, case studies, and in-tray exercises. Candidates are observed and evaluated by assessors on criteria such as participation, influence over others, and problem-solving skills. The goal is not to get the right answer but to observe how candidates work with others and approach challenges. While stressful, assessment centres provide employers with reliable insights into future job performance.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
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.
