'Produce a promotional package for a newly formed company'.
Plan For this project, I have been asked to 'Produce a promotional package for a newly formed company'. This document is my plan for that coursework task In order to complete this task successfully, I have been asked to include the following features: - > A suitable logo for the company > A business card > Letter headed paper > An introductory leaflet, suitable for presentation to a prospective client, giving brief details of the services offered by the company. To complete this task I will be required to carry out some research, which will involve using the Internet, and also completing a small amount of non-IT research, perhaps involving a promotional package from a competitors company. These will be included in my next section. In order to create the above items, I will need to use various computer programs and software tools, including a word processor and a desktop publishing program. These will be sufficient to use in order to create a business card, a letter headed sheet and an introductory leaflet. To design a suitable company logo, I intend to attempt to create a relatively simple logo, as my research will prove that successful companies can succeed with only the simplest of logos. For this reason, I intend to use a relatively simple graphics program. Obviously, I will also need to use a web browser as part of my research, and this is the same both at school
Describe the Problems of Living in a Newly-Set up Town in the West.
Coursework Assignment 2 Describe the Problems of Living in a Newly-Set up Town in the West In the 1800's, more people were moving to the West. This was because of land, gold, and other economic incentives. Land was a major attraction because people were given land cheaply as long as they agreed to farm on it for so many years and during this time, plant so much of the land with trees. Gold also gave people jobs and wealth so many people came to the West hoping and looking for fortune and by 1848 some 6000 men were working at the diggings along the rivers and streams running form the Sierras. Therefore very quickly, towns were set up so people who had moved west had a house but in newly-set up towns, there was a lack of facilities such as shops and places to go. With most of the population interested in the gold, no-one was opening their own shops because the men moved on once the gold had run out. With towns having lots of diseases, due to toilets being outside where they were never cleaned and with everyone using them, cooking was poor so then the cleanliness was just as bad and the shacks were dirty, which lead to disease. The shacks that people lived in including the miners from the Gold Rush were made from old blankets spread over wooden frames. Living in the west gave you hardly any chance of getting entertainment apart from going to bar rooms to drink and gamble
Third World countries
Third World countries are most often defined by political, economical or social differences. Countries that are poorer than some thresholds are considered to be Third World countries. The Third World is made up of countries often characterized by poverty, high birthrates, and dependence on more advanced countries. Women in third world countries are viewed as something that is less than a man-not deserving the same kind of treatment. In the past century the role of women in the world has been established and for women living in a Third World country it is almost impossible to break through and to change that role. While equality between men and women is a matter for society at large, it begins in the roots of the family. The upbringing of a family greatly affects the children in their future life. By growing up in a family that treats women unequally, one is more than likely to continue that trend later on in life. Even though discrimination begins at home with the under-valuing of domestic duties because they do not directly generate income. Yet when women do actually get a regular job, they are being mistreated and underpaid. In the past century the role of women has been established. Today women are treated differently than men in almost every aspect of life. In sports, women are told that their lack of athletic training puts them at a real disadvantage in competitions
Consider the current unequal distribution of food between developed and undeveloped countries
Consider the various factors which make the current unequal distribution of food between developed and developing countries likely to improve and/or worsen. By Gareth Griffiths In the following essay the various factors involved in food inequality around the world such as food insecurity in developing countries and how the west controls most of the food distribution in these countries through trade. The reasons behind why there is enough food to go around yet it doesn't actually go around and also possible solutions to the problems posed by food inequality will also be discussed such as the fair trade promotion and the world food alliance. The problem of food inequality is not a new problem for developing countries, having been established within existing trade agreements set up by the western world, which Kruse wrote about in 1966 making the following statement- 'developing countries point out that the so-called terms of trade are constantly changing to their disadvantage and in favour of the industrialised countries; development aid--so it is argued--is being completely neutralised by this harmful trend' (Kruse, 1966, p.16) This statement shows that food inequality has been around for a long period of time and is not likely to disappear in the near future. The way in which trade exists between the west and developing countries is that the west decides the price and
Describe the problems of living in a newly set up town in the West.
Describe the problems of living in a newly set up town in the West. There were many problems from living in newly set up towns in the American West. As these towns nearly 'sprang up' over night many problems were caused, as there was no time for the normal systems to be developed. Each type of town - the mining and cow towns had different problems. These problems were caused, partly, because of the speed, which these towns grew up. This caused disruption of systems, which had developed in the east. Systems needed to be speedily set up to prevent law and order problems. As did systems for water supply, sewage and sanitation. An example of disease spreading is when in Virginia City (Montana), 1864 during fall and early winter there was typhoid fever. Some people fell ill but there were no deaths. Shelter needed to be put into place of a reasonable standard because of the climate. Houses had to be put up quickly -they were mainly wooden. However building houses from wood caused problems of fire. In Virginia City (Nevada) November 1875 no rain had fallen for 6 months "loose horses from the stables were dashing madly to and fro seeking to escape, with hair burned from their backs." It was necessary to appoint town marshals to help keep the law and order. These town marshals often caused as many problems as they solved because they were often renowned gun-fighters.
How the process of Globalisation might have affected the position of labour in industrialized and developing countries.
EO314 Issues in International Economics How the process of Globalisation might have affected the position of labour in industrialized and developing countries. Submitted to Frank Brouwer London Metropolitan University December 2nd, 2004 By Iolanta Lyebyedyeva ID: 02019931 This essay aims to explain the question how the process of globalisation might have affected the position of labour in industrialised and developing countries with the focus on effects of trade on skilled and low/unskilled workers, especially how on how trade affects employment and wages, in developed and developing countries. As a starting point, it might be useful to look at what is actually meant by Globalisation, because many people definitely know whether they are for or against it, without even considering what exactly it is. There are hundreds of definitions of globalisations. Following a British sociologist Martin Albrow (1990) "globalisation refers to all those processes by which the peoples of the world are incorporated into a single world society, global society".1 According to Robert Cox (1994) globalisation includes "the internationalizing of production, the new international division of labour, new migratory movements from South to North, the new competitive environment that generates these processes, and the internationalizing of the state...making states into agencies of the
Economic comparisons of First world countries and their GDP.
3. I would classify Italy as a first world country because of it's fairly high GNP. Greece would be a developing nation because of it's fairly high IMR and low GNP. 4. Social - In both Greece and Italy there is an importance and tradition up held with family. In Italy, for example, the family comes first. Historically families have ruled over Italy such as the Sforzas of Milan and the Gonzagas of Mantua. Even today, escpecially in Sicily and Palermo, feuds between families arupt and break into fights, hence the Mafia was formed which is controlled by superior families. Although, in Italy, modern life is starting to break up the family trait, it is still a great pleasure to congregate with other family relations for a large meal. Just like the Italians, Greeks also eat with their familes, usually extended by grandparents living with them. Yet in Greece they tend to eat their lunch later than they do in Italy. In Greece a typical day would include waking up at 6:30, working / going to school from 8:00 until 2:30 when the family returns home to have lunch ( the main meal) together. Lunch finishes at 3:30 and then its time for at snooze until 5:00. At 5:30 Dad returns to work until 10:00. Whilst dad is working mother and children relax by watching television until 10:00 when father returns and dinner is had. After dinner the family relaxes until 11:00 when its time for bed.
Is the newly implemented minimum wage law a blessing or a curse for Hong Kong? Discuss.
Topic: Is the newly implemented minimum wage law a blessing or a curse? Discuss. The implementation of minimum wage law in Hong Kong remains a hotly debated controversy even though the statutory minimum wage has been into force on 1st May 2011. Opinion is still divided on whether setting a wage floor will help or harm workers as well as the overall economy. In my opinion, the newly implemented minimum wage law is a curse rather than a blessing to society. According to the ordinance, wages payable to an employee in respect of any wage period, when averaged over the total number of hours worked during that time, should be no less than the statutory minimum wage rate of HK$28. It is without doubt an important and fundamental reform not only affecting employers and employees, but also people from all walks of life including property owners and consumers. To begin with, the government claims that implementing the minimum wage law is a decisive way to eliminate poverty by offering reasonable compensation to low-skilled workers, thus raising the living standard of grassroots. However, the government may overlook the problem of unemployment as a result of implementing minimum wage. With an increase in wage payment, employers will possibly raise their requirements when employing unskilled labourers. As a consequence, numerous uneducated employees are likely to be sacked in order to
Analyse the Reasons for Bolivar's Failure to Unite the Countries He Liberated
Analyse the Reasons for Bolivar's Failure to Unite the Countries He Liberated By Name: Dahlia Grosvenor Tutor: Prof. Mayo Date: 2004-10-25 Department of History Simon Bolivar, often referred to as 'the Liberator', was directly responsible for the freedom of many of the Latin American states. His dream for the future of the newly liberated states was to become a great confederation, to become a united body. He believed that his popularity as liberator would make it easier to impress his ideas upon the peoples and obtain their support of his grand scheme. Unfortunately for Bolivar, there were to be many disheartening realities that he could no longer avoid, which would result in the failure of his dreams. It was Bolivar's hope and ambition to unite the South American republics into a strong confederation. To this end, the congress that met at Panama in 1827 was to be a union to counteract the influence of the Holy Alliance and defend against the principles of hegemony, which were beginning to be outlined by the United States. It was he who set in motion the objective of establishing an international code for the Latin American Republics. The example of Napoleon led him into acts too arbitrary and a policy too autocratic to please the independent temper of his compatriots. Bolivar was not as successful as a political leader as he was as a General. He insisted
The Train from Rhodesia - What do you learn about the newly married girl in this story?
The Train from Rhodesia What do you learn about the newly married girl in this story? It seems from the text that the newly married girl is almost certainly white, and is most probably of middle/upper class. She seems at first quite confident and it seems that her new husband is quite willing to please her. She seems to like the lion carving offered to her on the train but she says, 'Too expensive, too much,' thinking that it is too much to pay for the item. Her young husband then insists loudly 'Three-and-six' almost as a way of showing his affection towards her. She then says 'Oh leave it,' as if she doesn't want it if he buys it for her. She further reinforces this when her husband asks if she wants it, and she says, 'No, never mind.' We find out more about the young woman and her problems in the next paragraph where she goes into the coupé where she sits down. Out of the window, on one side of the train. There is 'nothing; sand and bush; a thorn tree.' On the other side of the train, 'Back through the open doorway, past the figure of her husband in the corridor, there was the station, the voices, wooden animals waving, running feet.' This creates an impression of desolate loneliness on one side (nothing but sand and bush) and freedom (wooden animals waving, running feet and the voices) on the other side with her husband standing between her and freedom and free
