Globalization

Every day we hear it on the news, read it in the papers, overhear people talking about it… and in every single instance the word globalization seems to have a different meaning. So, what is globalization?

At political and economic level, globalization is the process of denationalization of markets, politics and legal systems, it is the rise of global economy. Many international organizations, governmental institutions and the whole academic world discuss the consequences of this political and economic restructuring on local economies, human welfare and environment.

At a business level, the process of globalization is when companies decide to take part in the emerging global economy and establish themselves in foreign markets. They adapt their products or services to the linguistic and cultural requirements of different nations. Then, they might take advantage of the Internet revolution and establish a virtual presence on the international marketplace. More and more companies do their business online.

Some scientists agree that globalization has also cultural and ecological connotations, and that it is not only political or economic phenomenon. It means that countries all over the world become interdependent in many possible ways. There is probably no area of human activities left that is not affected by globalization. We listen to the same music, eat the same food, wear the same clothes, and decide ecological and war and peace issues together.

So each one of us is now more fully involved in a global economic system than were our parents or grandparents. There are probably no industries left that have much “natural protection” from international competition. Globalization in its core sense is the expansion of cross-border economic ties. Geographical distance does not matter any more.

New Year Resolution

New Year’s resolution….. New Year resolutions have become a tradition to almost everyone in the whole world. But why do people make New Year resolution, knowing they will only stick them for a month or so? The only people they are fooling are themselves. Instead of making a vow to stop smoking, lose 10 kilos or any other things people say they plan to do next year; they should just start doing those things right now. Everyone is just using New Year resolution as a way to postpone; also knowing the oath they made will probably be short lived. If we want to change something in our lives, it is up to us, and there is no time to waste. Make the commitment to do it NOW NOT LATER, that later may not ever come about. Life is too short to put off the essential things that we know we need to start accomplishing today, because life happens, and we all know what that means. For those that do not know what the previous comment means, it means that not everyone may have a tomorrow to count on.  We all know what is most important to us and what we want to achieve in the course of our lives. With that being said, there is no time like the present to start taking toward achieving our goals and dreams; whether that means improving our health, spending quality time with friends and loved ones, or getting a better education. If we are not careful about the time that we carelessly waste, we just might run out of New Year resolution to pledge. All of the things that we wanted to accomplish in life will be left unfinished.  

Vacation

Christmas is a good holiday for many reasons. There are reasons that exist that make Christmas a bad holiday, but for the most part it is a wonderful time of year. Millions of people around the world will agree that Christmas is one of the most fun and exciting holidays. It's is a good because students get a vacation from school, people get to exchange gifts with friends and family, and people get to spend time with their families. Those three reasons, among others, help to make Christmas one of the best holidays.

First of all, Christmas is a good holiday because students get a vacation from school and have less homework. That really helps to make the holidays more enjoyable. With no school, students have no reason to get up early so they can stay out late and sleep late in the morning. When Christmas comes around, it means that the school year is half over. If a student has done well the first semester, he or she is sure to survive the second semester.

So for my vacation wasn't really exciting nor fun. My family and I didn't travel anywhere, we stayed in Cairo. I only did exactly 3 things. The first one is hanging out with my friends, the second one is doing my homework and the last one is staying at home. But in the other hand, I can say it was good because I spent these 2 weeks relaxing. The first 4 days, I was isolated from the world. And the rest of the vacation i went out.

In conclusion, it depends on you how you can enjoy your holiday even without doing nothing.
