first draft of globalization

1-Introduction
There is no shadow of doubt about fact that international integration has been a phenomenon of third millennium (Yoon, y, 2005). It has been a process of interaction and integration among people, companies, and governments in the world. For thousands of years people and corporations have tried to invest in other countries. In fact, the majority aspects of the current globalization are completely similar to those prevailing before the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. (globalization101 website).it is generally agreed that globalization from the beginning was fraught with conflict, competition, control and misuse. (Abraham,k, 2000) in addition, this has had remarkable effects on the environment, culture, political systems, and economic development or even on theological thinking and mission praxis in recent years. (Abraham,k, 2000).Its impact on those has been developed day by day and it knows no boundary. One of the most significant current discussions among people and governments is the influence of globalization on poor nations and rich nations. However, proponents of globalization believe that it allows poor countries to develop economically and raise their standards of living, whereas, opponents of globalization claim that political and economic changes have taken place only in one corner of world and they affect the people's life far away. For instance "a decision of the USA not to purchase raw rubber can unsettle the economy of Malaysia" (Mathews, G, 2000) .As be mentioned before globalization is deeply controversial. Thereby, it needs to be considered more and more. In this essay the positive effects and negative effects of globalization will be examined first, following this, its impact on polymer engineering and plastic product design which is my subject will be considered.

2-Advantages of globalization
The most remarkable advantages of globalization are increasing free trade between nations……….
3-Disadvantages of globalization
On the other hand, the increasing inequality between rich nations and poor nations is a fundamental threat in the world………..
4-The positive effect on polymer engineering and plastic product design (technology)
Competition within the corporations has beneficially increased by globalization and all factories are trying to improve their technology in each industry sector..........
5-The negative effect on polymer engineering and plastic product design (technology)
Political matters have had straight effect on improving technology especially on the third world nations in the recent years..........
6-Conclusion

the reflection of 4 lectures

I read 4 lectures which have mentioned in our yellow book, i have tried to write my introduction from these lectures

Globalization has been the most controversial issue in commencement of third millennium. Although, it does not have got the same meaning by different realms and disciplines. Despite there is not a global agreement about the characterization of this term, it has revolutionized the whole face of economy and business in entire of the world. There are a number of arguments that claim globalization has opened various perspectives such as flourish in communications and markets, contact between cultures, spread investment, technology and modernity, and improve standards of productions.
However, It did not a long time to be revealed how shaken these claims are. Many people believe that in spite of nowadays propagandas “In Defense of Globalization”, as a result of deep alteration in technology, it is doing irreparable damage on humankind specifically working class’s quality of life which includes the most majority of our planet people’s population.

Degrees of certainly

Degrees of certainty

I strongly recommend that have look to this short notes which will help you to manage CERTAINLY in your Academic Writing

Some expressions those are useful when presenting ideas that they are true or almost certainly true:

It is evident that………….
There is a tendency for……
There is every likelihood…………
The research is likely to ………..
The situation is liable to change…………….
It is, of course, essential to check data carefully.
The best age for language learning is, apparently, the teenage years

The writer is unsure:

The research has allegedly come to some very significant conclusions
The article is reportedly an excellent piece of work
In the absence of evidence to the contrary we can assume that…………..
The perception of boys as poor language learners can be shown to be false

Globalization and its impact on Human Rights

http://www.religion-online.org/showchapter.asp?title=1559&c=1401

I read some part of this article and I have written some notes regarding it which might be useful for my essay:

1-Modern communication has converted the world into a global village
2-Politacal and economic have been taken place in one corner of the world affect the life of people for away.
3-In the last 300-400 years ago, all countries created new trade routes from the west to the east.
4-The process of globalization from the beginning was fraught with competition, conflict, domination, exploitation
5-Theresults of the past few decades of development have been well summarized,"THE POOR BECOMING POORER,THE RICH BECOMING RICHER"

6- Globalization has revolutionized the whole face of economy and business in entire of the world

7-Globalization can not be considered seriously without the context that was emerged.

8-Term of globalization could be sketched by “International Trade Openness”, “free market”, “economic liberalization” and “Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)”.

Plastic Materials

Chapter one in plastic product design book which i have started to read from last month is about PLASTIC MATERIALS I have written my reflection a short summary of this chapter:

Plastic are organic materials which are made from large molecules that are constructed by a chain-like attachment of certain building-block molecules. Plastic have divided into two categories :THERMOPLASTIC and THERMOSET plastics.

THERMOSETS:

Thermoses plastics are polymers(“poly” means many) which are useless in their raw states. they are the hardest and stiffest of all plastics, some example of this group are: phenolics , melamine, urea, alkyds, and epoxies

THERMOPLASTICS:

this group of plastics are “heat-sensitive” material which are solids at room temperature, like most metals. common examples of this group are: polyethylene , polystyrene ,polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and nylon.

Feedback of My Secound Seminar

I did my second seminar, If I wanted evaluate my self I would say that I was better than my first seminar, my preparation was more acceptable than before and I had prepared useful information and research about surveillance from steve`s blog in addition, some good expressions which could help me when I wanted to say my ideas. I think I spoke not enough and it should have been more. When others were speaking I listened to them good and didn’t interrupted them even I tried to write some notes after their speaking because some people in our group had made interesting points from some resources . I argued about my opinions and sometimes I used my evidence to support my opinions but for next seminars I would need to discuss more and clearer.
In my opinion my language was ok and most of them were understandable .finally, I worked not bad with the other people in my group in this seminar but as I mentioned before I will definitely need to work harder and push myself more.

Some points of using surveillance

My ideas about surveillance (I have taken from some links which are on Steve's bog and jim`s blog)

1-since 1994, the use of surveillance has dramatically increased in the UK.

2-the UK uses more CCTV cameras for controlling population than anywhere else in the world.

3-it is estimated that 500.000 CCTV operate within London (this means there is one for every fourteen people.

4- After 26 October 2004 all passports issued in the US have had a biometric identifier.

5- In the USA has been done routinely fingerprinting and face scanning from foreign visitors since January 2004.

6- With the biometric passport every country may have its own surveillance system, finger prints, face scans and keeping them as long as they wish.

7- We can not be absolutely certain that there will be no misuse of the DNA database.

8- Police can track down offenders by matching samples with other family members who may be on the database.

9-The number of samples on the database has trebled in the last five years in the UK.

10- It may not always be possible to identify people from their DNA

11- Micro-chipped passports were introduced in the UK in the middle of 2005

12- Millions of passengers could end up on a computer system that could be accessed by governments across the world.

13- ICAO = the International Civil Aviation Organisation

CCTV

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/6900807.stm

I read this article on BBC website, According to this, CCTV has helped to control anti social behaviours and because of this there has been fall in rubbery and reduction in some part of England in the last couple of years.

Some new word:

Burglury: housebreaking
Recognition: identification

Neighbourhood policing: Neighbourhood policing is about local policing; police, partners and the community working together, to identify thiefs,robbers.......

cut incidents of anti-social behaviour :A usually minor event or condition that is subordinate to another , syn:occurrence

first introduction( first draft)

To what extend are we influenced by media images?
It is generally agreed that media images are becoming an important and serious aspect of today's life .thousands of them are found every where and they are available to everybody. People absorb media images from television, magazines, internet, and newspaper or even on billboards and video games. Undoubtedly, media images are powerful because they affect our expectations, attitudes or even our social convention moreover, they have narrowed our notions since people use media frequently.(Sam Femanio and marck Nickerson, media &values magazine ,1999).thereby, what need to be awarded is that the most of our decisions, beliefs, and values are based on what we know for a fact and how we have put our trust on the mass media. However, we should know how media and its images really work. It is often argued that the mass media and its images have had negative on our life both in terms of the mentally and physically and also there has been a little discussion about whether they should be controlled or not. However, this essay will examine the influence of media images on society and it will be considered how it influences our decisions.

Answer to Steve`s questions about grammar

Q) Which of the grammar points you have problems with are more important for a) writing b) speaking c) both?
A) I think my speaking is weaker than my writing and it is not fluent enough.

Q) Do you think that doing lots and lots of grammar exercises is the best way to improve your grammar?
A) yes,I think is the best way for me because I might find out more about my weaknesses and my mistakes and try to correct all of them.


Q) Can you think of any other activities that you could do without having to pick up a grammar book?
A) I think 1) listening to radio especially (BBC4) migh be useful or even when my teachers are taking about a subject, listen very carefully to them and write some notes could be good.
2)doing grammar exercise on internet could be helpful activies and entertainment as well.

Q) How do you think you've learnt the grammar you already know well?
A) doing many exercise and reviewing all of them when I forget them and don`t remember their rules


Q) Can you find some online exercises to help you with your grammar weaknesses.

Evaluate my first Seminar

I try to evaluate my self how well did my first seminar and I am going to write some notes in a nut shell about it:

Actually I wasn’t bad in first seminar but I think it could be better, I will need more improvement in some areas for instance, I hadn’t done enough research and preparation in addition, I should practise more about my languages because sometimes I felt it wasn’t accurate for other students in my group.
One of my good points was I listened to other students well when they were talking about specific subject and didn’t interrupt them too much! And also should be indicated that I had prepared enough phrases and expressions which some of them were formal and some of them were more informal. I argued my opinion clearly and respectably but it would be better if I spoke more during the seminar.
In during the seminar I tried to give some research and evidence to my group which could support my opinions and ideas.
For next seminar I am trying to improve my weak points and use and support more my strong points.

Plastic Product Design with Management Msc

http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/pgprospectus/courses/plastics-product-design-with-management.cfm

This link is related to my subject at London Metropolitan University which will start september 2008. this course consist of 3taught core modules with 1 optional taught module and a project.For Msc these 6 module must be passed.It means I will need to collect 180 credits.

The aims of the product design with management course are to: a) Provide the basis of business management in addition to the underpinning product design modules for science and engineering graduates. b) Provide foundation knowledge and practical skills related to managerial work. c) Use computer programme to manage project planning and control processes.

About pejman ( who am I ?)

I graduated in metallurgy engineering at one of famous university in Iran. I was working in a factory at control project section beside of my studying. After graduating I decided to continue my subject in one of good universities in London so I chose London metropolitan university because it has only had my favourite subject which is plastic product design with management. This is mixed by two different subject, management and engineering science. I hope it will develop my knowledge, confidence, professional values and also my attitudes in preparation for a successful career in industry in future .

Since April 2008 I have been studying English at London met and by starting my main subject it will have finished .I hope my English would be acceptable and good enough at the end of this course because be honest I am really worry about it!!!

I have been working part time in one of luxury hotels in London which is called Café Royal since 4 month ago. In during working there I have learnt many things which all of them could have been useful for my experience or even for my English. In addition, I have found new friends who all of them are so lovely.

At the moment I am a little bit tired because I have been living in London more than 8 month without any holiday and I think it would be helpful if I took a rest for a couple of days without thinking about English, polymer department ,London ,costs, job, and even lovely self study but unfortunately it is impossible :(

I love tennis and I have been playing it since 12 years ago. It is one of my hobbies in London and also I like football I used to play it with my friends but now I just support one of famous Iranian teams which is called PERSPOLIS from abroad.

God willing,all students will succeed in finishing their course.

First Seminar

Today’s as a group we discussed about the media in different part, now I would like to write some of my ideas which I found out from discussion.

first of all one of interesting subject which I found out was viewing TV in Japan has decreased in last 10 years because all Japanese people prefer to use internet and playing games instead of sitting in front of TV. However, they are thinking watching TV waste their times.

other subject was about all children in china are really interested to watch cartoon especially frictions cartoon which could be in some way has negative effect in their life because the majority of them are trying to follow the hero and first roll of character .

one of the subject which we disagreed about it was about the main purpose of TV, we had different ideas about that two Chinese guys strongly believed that selling and money is the main purpose for all producers to show the program on TV whereas, others members believed that it should be mix of entertainment and education in equal balance .

all of us agreed that a child has limited view of the world .if the child doesn’t enough knowledge he/she is forced to choose by own his/her favourite program and obviously ,they cant recognize which one is good and bad one the other hand, movies shouldn’t be censored for young people because they are old enough to watch every things
.
the last subjects which I remembered was about developing technology in the next twenty years .all agreed that in the couple of next years we will see new technology in the world and also we agreed that watching TV is not useful for health because while they watch something on tv usually they eat unhealthy food.

TV and my ideas

Some of my ideas about:
Negative effects of television:
1: waste a lot of your time
2: I believe that TV is the reason for so many people to be out shape. They eat unhealthy food and don’t take the time to exercise afterwards. (Some food which can be eaten while watching TV: candy bars, potato chips, and all kind of stuff!!!)
3: children who watch TV hear coarse (rude) language and see violence, crime, use of drug and sex
4: many programs are not educational at all; most are frictional cartoons or movies which don’t teach you any thing
5: young people watch things on TV and they think they are okay when they are not
6: A child has limited view of the world and is dependent on his/her parents for instructions/knowledge and explanation .if the child doesn’t enough instruction or knowledge then he/she is forced to choose by his/her self what is seen on television as either good or bad
Positive effect of television:
1: TV has a lot of positive effects and influences on our society ,it gives us useful information, various form of education, entertainment which are all a part of the positive effects that TV has on our society
2: these type of things (sexual activity, drug, violence) happen every day .if young teenager do not watch them in a movie they will simply see them in the world around them. Only they should be aware of their surrounding and the world they live in.
Censorship:
Movies should not be censored for teenagers because they are old enough to see every thing
Reality television:
1: reality TV is a genre of television programming which present and show dramatic or humorous situations
2: ordinary people are playing in these kind of programs instead of professional actors
3: the viewers has no absolutely control over the images television and all images are controlled by the sender in addition, images just come, one after next
4 :in my opinion, these programs are suitable for some ones who are interested in human intraction

What is media literacy?

http://video.google.co.uk/videosearch?q=media+literacy+with+transcript&hl=en&sitesearch=#q=media%20literacy%20&hl=en

When I was reading my book, I found a word which was new for me and I hadn’t any idea about it. Instead of using dictionary to find out its definition I watched this clip and I have completely found out its meaning .it was media literacy, what is media literacy???
Some important points which I have understood:
1-media literacy is the ability to analyze, use and evaluate the media in positive way
2-media literacy education started in England in 1929
3-media literacy provides tools to help people critically analyze message to detect propaganda (is information, often inaccurate information, which a political organization publishes), censorship in news
4-in 1990 a world conference on media literacy was held in Ontario where over 500 educators from around world converged to discuss the need for media literacy and plan to reinvent critical thought as it applied to the media.
……
After watching this video I could understand the meaning of media literacy .I am going to choose some of this point and talk about them in seminar day.

New Technologies

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6142998.stm

I read this article .this article is about future of TV or new technologies .it was very interesting for me because I have found out new things which will happen in during this year or perhaps 2 or 3 years later in UK. For example all analogues TV will be switched off and all people will use digital TV in future. Other example is there will be new technology which is called HDTV (high definition television) HDTV. it is a new format for watching programs, and you can watch sharper, clearer with brighter pictures and better sound which is pretty amazing. Although this article was published on November 2006, There are others example of new technology which each of them have been interesting for me and will be seen very soon. I am going to say about them in friday`s seminar.

Some new words:
Squeeze: if you squeeze something, you press it firmly, usually with your hands.
Open up: if something opens up opportunities or possibilities, or if they open up, they are created.

New Month

This month is the fifthe month which I have been studying English at London met University.because of my sickness I start my self study in this month couple of days late.however,I am not worry and I am working much harder this month.Good Luck everyone and have lovely green days with your green book!!

Helen`s Home Work (showing a contrast)

Reducing the length of the working week has many advantages, especially in terms of a better work-life balance, while, it is economically difficult to do this.

The use of ipods has increased considerably,however,the number of cds purchased either online or on the high street has decreased.

A few companies attempt to achieve a balance between the environment and business,whilst,most companies aim for pure profit.

A considerable amount of towns in Europe have been pedestrianised.contrast,Very few towns in North America have been.

There are a number of arguments for abolishing the death penalty.conversely,there are a few supporters.

Research Report (draft)

Different ideas about marriage and children depending on their culture/nationality
P.Paykarestan,London Metropolitan University

Introduction

Marriage grew in popularity between 2002 and 2004, but fell by 9% in 2005 in England and Wales because people`s attitude had changed about cohabitation and they prefered to live out of wedlock instead of long-term living (Claire Truscott, guardian March 2008). Although these days living together is acceptable and the majority of people believe that marriage is a great gift, 60 per cent or probably more of cohabiting couples still get married after a few years. (BBC website,July 2008).

However, even though many researchers have considered, there has been very little research reported on the living couples out of wedlock,so in this research is tried to publicize more ideas about this subject as many as possible.

Aims

The purpose of the present research is to investigate what different ideas international student have about marriage and living with someone out of wedlock depending on their nationality and culture, moreover their beliefs about choosing their partner

Method
The Sample

The research sampled 31 students who all of them have been studying pre-sessional English academic at London metropolitan university.They were chosen in different range of ages, Genders and countries.

Data collection

The data was collected with a questionnaire which comprised 9 questions .the questionnaire asked a variety of questions, including attitudes toward marriage and living out of wedlock,having child out of wed lock and last question was about the most important thing which some people think make for successful marriage.

Findings

Living together before the marriage:
In our questionnaire respondents were asked to specify the effect of living together before the marriage for long-term on society, just over a quarter(28%) expressed it is acceptable thing and has positive effects on society, less than a quarter (23%)expressed,this is not satisfactory and has negative effect on society and nearly half (49%) expressed it makes no difference. as it is apparent, in this subject with a little bit difference of opinion students agree with living together before marriage which is interesting because the majority of respondents have lived freely in their countries without limitations religious which exist in some religions such as Islam despite this, they didn’t agree with living together before marriage.

Marrying people at older ages for the first time (e.g .more than 45)
More than 42% of respondents agree with marrying people at older ages, and nearly a third disagree

Having child
One of the most surprising finding which was found out is that the majority of students (80%) want to have more than 2 children after getting married,whilst, just less than 10% prefer to have no child or at least have one child. On one hand, this is interesting for someone’s who delight in after having children. On the other hand, this amount in wide range would cause a lot of trouble for governments or perhaps for families.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR CHOOSING A PARTNER
the research was demonstrated that more than (70%) of respondents believe that having a good personality and faithfulness is the most important thing to choose a partner .this amount shows personality is the main purpose among students to choose a partner in addition, this attitude is same in all cultures.
Having higher education with nearly(20%) is ranked in second in importance,While, less than (10% )of respondents say appearance and adequate income are important things.

And so it is Just like you said it would be Life goes easy on me Most of the time And so it is The shorter story No love, no glory No hero in her sky
