Do you consider the movie Outsourced to be a useful film to teach intercultural communication and to prepare for a stay in India?
Do you consider the movie Outsourced to be a useful film to teach intercultural communication and to prepare for a stay in India? In my opinion are films in general a great medium to provide information for students, because they make learning interesting. Further it is easier to understand the given content in the film, because the spoken information is supported by visual content so the viewer is learning through looking and listening, which corresponds to the easiest way of gaining knowledge. From this point of view, I consider the movie Outsourced as a useful source to teach intercultural communication, because it provides insight in the Indian culture in an entertaining way and captured my interest during the whole film. It became really clear how big the differences between Indian and American culture really is. In my opinion can this fact only be shown so explicitly in a film compared to other mediums eg. written texts, because the viewer can see the feelings and gestures of the Indian people and this may tell you more than thousand words. In addition, I could really empathize with Todd in all the situations where the culture clash turned up and he made mistakes. An advantage of the fact, that he made these mistakes is that you can learn from them. So watching the movie would definitely help you to prepare yourself for a stay in India. Taking the content of the film
Drug Addiction: Understanding the effects of DrugAbuse.
Drug Addiction: Understanding the effects of Drug Abuse. Assignment 1. What is your perspective regarding drug use? The first major problem in considering drug use/abuse is to define a drug. This is difficult because in general conversation the word is used in many different ways. Many people do not think of alcohol, aspirin or nicotine as being a drug. Others use 'drug' when what they really mean is narcotic, whilst others would include any manufactured chemical in the list. The following are some examples of definitions, which have been used, in a more specific context. 'Any substance used in the composition of a medicine.' This includes many of the commonly used substances, but it excludes some commonly used ones such as nicotine. 'Any substance taken in the body which brings about a physiological change.' This definition also creates a problem as it includes substances such as basic nutrients and water, but possibly excludes some psychotropic drugs, though in time all of these may prove to bring about their effects by some physiological change. Probably the best definition I have encountered is 'Any substance which when taken into the body may modify one or more of its physical or mental functions.' It does not exclude any substances which are considered to be drugs but it does perhaps include some like, water or nutrients, which are not usually thought of a
The effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis.
Owen Davies GCSE Coursework The effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis. Plan: Aim: To investigate the affect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis. Theory: Before I predict what will happen I must look at how photosynthesis occurs. Photosynthesis is the way plants create a source of food for themselves. Photosynthesis requires the following resources; Carbon Dioxide, Water and light. Inside the leaves of a plant there is a green substance, this substance is known as chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is in the Chloroplast which are cells contained inside a plant. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and then makes the energy from the sunlight available for chemical reactions. This shows that Chlorophyll is used to convert light energy to chemical energy. The plant can absorb carbon dioxide from the air. It can also uptake water from the soil. A plant also requires nitrogen and sulphur to create proteins; these can be acquired from nitrates and sulphates which are minerals in the soil. The equation for photosynthesis is: How photosynthesis works. The process mainly takes place inside the cells of plants, mainly in the leaves. Firstly the plant needs water; this is absorbed from the soil, through the roots and is carried up the stem by water vessels within the veins. Next the plant needs carbon dioxide, this absorbed from the through pores in the leaf known as
Religion and the media
Religion and the media The media is a form of communication to large audiences; Mass media. The biggest form of media is TV, but there countless different types of media: * Radio * Film and video * Print (newspapers, magazines, direct mail, etc.) * Photography * Electronic (E-mail, the Web, etc.) The media is quite new in some aspects but is already a crucial and important role in people's lives. It communicates things all over world to people, and it reproduces modern society's self-image. But some people say that the media destroys the individual's capacity to act for themselves. Media often perpetuates stereotypes which can be either good or bad, but most of the time very patronising. The media is becoming increasingly important to peoples lives everyday, to buying a paper every morning to see the worlds news to downloading music as soon as it comes out. Often people say that media takes over adolescents lives, e.g. they want to be what they see on the TV which isn't always good. There is always a dark side to anything that is involved in the media. There are very little religious programs on TV regularly but the BBC has quite a few for example: * Songs of praise - Christian - Songs of Praise is a weekly celebration of Christian heritage and experience featuring the very best inspirational music and stories. * Heaven and earth - Heaven & Earth with Gloria
The Common Agricultural Policy.
Agriculture The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is one of the most important factors affecting farming in the EU. Everything depends on it. The initial aims of CAP were: * To increase productivity and to achieve self-sufficiency * To give all farmworkers a fair standard of living * To keep prices of agricultural products stable * To maintain food supplies * To ensure fair prices for customers. Farming in the UK was improving for many years. Nowadays we have new, large, more powerful machinery, big fields, chemical fertilisers etc. As we have much bigger fields, we need bigger machinery. This increased profit margins by allowing a greater scale of mechanization. E.g. farmer who has big wheat fields need big combines to gather in the harvest. One of the first aims of CAP was to increase food production so that the EU became more self-sufficient in foodstuffs. There were introduced along side support policy to increase outputs. So, if there is a shortage of any product, CAP invested money on this product to increase amount of it. Farmers were paid for grow this product. But when there was sufficient amount of it the subsidies were removed. E.g. in 1993 there was a shortage of oil, so subsidies were placed on oil seed rape. It became very expensive. Farmers were paid up £445 per hectare to grow it. In 1995 there was sufficient amount of it, so the subsidies were

It is my aim to make a profit out of designing and producing websites. I also hope that my web design business shall grow and expand so that I design a variety of websites.
Web Design Business Plan Business Studies Business Plan (GCSE) Aims and Objectives: Aims - It is my aim to make a profit out of designing and producing websites. I also hope that my web design business shall grow and expand so that I design a variety of websites. My final aim is for the business to survive, as the costs for a web design business are very low I consider it highly unlikely that this aim will be difficult to achieve. Objectives - To make high quality and affordable websites. It would be extremely unrealistic to have a high market share as an objective when there are hundreds if not thousands of companies designing websites but I do aim to produce at least two high quality websites. Marketing & Production Plan I plan to produce e-commerce websites (online shop). A typical price for such a website is £100 including website hosting and a domain name. I plan to charge £30 because unlike professional companies I do not have the facilities to offer services such as 24/7 customer care and hosting. I will just design the websites and shall not offer extra services. I do not aim to be competing with large firms offering web design, instead I shall be competing with other people who design websites and sell them on listing services such as eBay and Yalgo.com. Having recently looked through these two websites I have noticed that nobody else is offering web design
