Globalisation (final)
Many people believe that globalisation brings many impact in different aspects in life and has become a major issue around the world. It seems almost inevitable; because some people want to change the word in their own way of thinking which sometimes they think it is right way to do. According to Peter joseph, the director from “Zeitgeist the movie” in 2007 the entire world is a stage. There might be someone behind the curtain who controls this global issue. He also claims 9/11 was to create produce crowd fear, maybe instigate and give good reason for war, and certainly for economic gain. It also will bring poverty and inequality. Therefore globalisation processes involve a lot of conflicts and discrepancy, which generates contradictory expectations (Modelsky et al. 1999). However, sometimes people see globalization as improvement, development and a solution to their economical problems especially to them who live in developed countries. This essay will discuss the advantages and disadvantages that will cost from globalisation in different especially in my area of study. How it is going to create new economic and cultural zones within and across nations.
A lot of countries in tribute their share especially on industries in the international market. According to Simon Jeffery (2002) globalisation makes people easier to do their job in business, or running financial markets. In facts, the world getting smaller because of globalisation, it makes the world work as one big village. Globalisation brings big impacts to this world and it is not just within economics, but also almost in every aspect such as in social life, technological, political and cultural structures. For instance a place like Koh Samui in Thailand is a place holidaymakers and tourists used to visit to soak up the local eastern culture and basic lifestyle. Now within the main draw running through the town you have Tesco supermarkets, Burger King and Mcdonald fast food stores. This is a perfect example of “westernisation” or better known today as “globalisation”. If this is not controlled, a similar case will appear throughout the world.
In the last past ten years it is generally agreed that international trade has been a generator in the world economy. It will gather different type of people and organisation that have dissimilar values and helps developing countries to promote and sell their products to a bigger company from another country. For example, the local people found diamonds in South Africa. Diamond dealers from that country buy the diamond and look for someone or another company who wants to buy their product. A diamond company from the US brought the diamond and took it to Germany to do a process of cutting and polishing. Germany is known as a first country that found a way to cut and polish diamonds and led to the development of various types of cut. After that, they delivered the diamond to a jewellery shop in Hong kong to design and build it. Finally the diamond company from the US sells the diamond necklace to a famous jewellery shop in UK. This situation seems will bring a positive effect to lots of people or companies. On the other hand, this situation is not fair to the man who found the diamond in the first place because usually this diamond dealer buys it at a very low price or this is not fair to the diamond dealer because the bigger company from US also buy the diamond lower than the price in the market and so forth. According to Barak D. Richman (2006), this situation has brought a big changes in the diamond industry and the profitability of global branding campaigns has enabled big companies to implement a vertically integrated business strategy that skips the middleman and sells directly to consumers.
From the example that given in the previous paragraph, it is clear that globalisation brings impacts in the jewellery industry regarding on the first issues that concern on the global trade. It strikes in every aspect such as the market size, demand determinants, domestic, international markets and also in design. The market size gives the size of the market inside the country and the size of the export market. The demand determinants show the rise or fall of the demand in the market. The domestic and international markets describe the market for the products and services. It helps to calculate the domestic market and the quantity accounted for by imports and exports and trends in the levels of imports and exports. "In so many ways, we in the jewellery business are prime beneficiaries of globalisation. The increasing ability to move capital, products, people and information over huge distances in very short periods of time, has opened markets and provided us access to improved rough supply and manufacturing capacity.” Gaetano Cavalieri stated in the CIBJO congress in the year of 2008.
Looking it from another aspect, which is design. Globalisation can create a negative effect because it erases the true cultural identity. Nowadays it is difficult to find original traditional jewellery in a big store, it is difficult to tell from which country the jewellery belongs to. Shigeru Uchida (1996) argues that many people do not have a strong believe in their culture anymore. However, these is will bring a positive effect in business because the market only look in one direction which is western. For another example, people in Papua New Guinea appear to dress in tattered rags but now their traditional dress has been replaced by one of the most produced wares of the west — T-shirt. Thanks to the spread of satellite TV, international media networks and Internet technology, it is easier to judge what the market wants and for designers to do research for the latest information in fashion.
In conclusion, globalisation can be seen as a benefit or else brings damage to this world. In my case, which is jewellery, globalisation brings more advantages rather than disadvantages. According Eric Zapel (2002), through globalisation the designers offers to do a dynamics changing into the fashion world’s. Nowadays, they are free to mix a culture into one peace of design and find a right influence to their creation. The most powerful benefit is international trade, and the manufacturing of goods sometimes carried out in developing countries. These can offer benefits to the country by creating jobs and with these local businesses this can enlarge their profits. This can also introduce and teach new skills and knowledge from the companies that use their export. These way countries can battle more productively with their newfound developed economies. Globalisation can bring much benefit to the world if we drive it in the right way.

The domestic and international markets describe the market for the products and services in jewellery industry. It helps to calculate the domestic market and the quantity accounted for by imports and exports and trends in the levels of imports and exports. "In so many ways, we in the jewellery business are prime beneficiaries of globalisation. The increasing ability to move capital, products, people and information over huge distances in very short periods of time, has opened markets and provided us access to improved rough supply and manufacturing capacity.” Gaetano Cavalieri stated in the CIBJO congress in the year of 2008.
Looking it from another aspect, which is design. Globalisation can create a negative effect because it erases the true cultural identity. Nowadays it is difficult to find original traditional jewellery in a big store, it is difficult to tell from which country that the jewellery belongs to. Shigeru Uchida (1996) argues that many people don’t have a strong believe with their culture. However, these is will bring a positive effect in business world because the market only look in one direction which western. For another example, people in Papua New Guinea appear to dress in tattered rags but now their traditional dress has been replaced by one of the most produced wares of the west — T-shirt. Thanks to the spread of satellite TV, international media networks and Internet technology, it is easier to judge what market wants and for designer to do a research for the latest information in fashion.
In conclusion, globalisation can be seen as a benefit or else brings damage to this world. In my case, which is jewellery, globalisation brings more advantages rather than disadvantages. According Eric Zapel (2002), through globalisation the designers offers the changing dynamics and influences of the increasingly globalised world as so we called the future in fashion world. They all looking for inspiration and influence beyond the traditional fashion around the world. The most powerful benefit is international trade, and the manufacturing of goods sometimes carried out in developing countries. These can offer benefits to the country by creating jobs and with these local businesses this can enlarge their profits. This can also introduce and teach new skills and knowledge from the companies that use their export. These way countries can battle more productively with their newfound developed economies. Globalisation can bring much benefit to the world if we drive it in the right way.

globalisation part 3
Many people believe that globalisation brings many impact in different aspects in life and has become a major issue around the world. It seems almost inevitable; because some people want to change the word in their own way of thinking which sometimes they think it is intellectual to do so. According to Peter joseph, the director from “Zeitgeist the movie” in 2007 the entire world is a stage. There might be someone behind the curtain who controls this global issue. He also claims 9/11 was create to produce crowd fear, instigate and give good reason for war, and certainly for economic gain. Sometimes people see globalization as improvement and development for a country, as well in another aspect. To some people who live in develop countries globalisation may bring a solution to their economical problems. In the other hand, it will bring poverty, inequality and dramatically bring a war to this world. Therefore globalisation processes involve a lot of conflicts and discrepancy, which generates contradictory expectations (Modelsky et al. 1999). This essay will discuss the advantages and disadvantages that will cost from globalisation in different especially in my area of study. How it is going to create new economic and cultural zones within and across nations.
Many countries intrigue their share especially on industries in the international market. According to Simon Jeffery (2002) globalisation makes people easier to do their job in business, or running financial markets. In facts, the world getting smaller because of globalisation, it makes the world work as one big village. Globalisation brings big impacts to this world and it is not just within economics, but also almost in every aspect such as in social life, technological, political and cultural structures. For instance places like Koh Samui in Thailand is a place holidaymakers and tourists used to visit to soak up the local eastern culture and basic lifestyle. Now within the main drag running through the town you have tesco supermarkets, Burger King and Mcdonald fast food stores. This is a perfect example of “westernisation” or better known today as “globalisation”. If this is not controlled, a similar case will appear throughout the world.
It would seem natural to think that the growth of international market around the world brings gap in life of the rich and the poor or so we called inequality. In the last past ten years it is generally agreed that international trade has been a generator in the world economy. It will gather different type of people and organisation that have dissimilar values and helps developing countries to promote and sell their products to a bigger company from another country. For example, local people found a diamond in South Africa. Diamonds dealer from that country buy the diamond and looking for someone or another company whom wants to but it. Diamond Company from US buys that diamond and brings it to German to do a process of cutting and polishing. Germany is known as a first country that found a way to cut and polish a diamond and led to the development of various types of cut. After that, they delivered the diamond to a jewellery shop in Hong kong to design and build it. Finally the diamond company from US sells the diamond necklace to a famous jewellery shop in UK. This situation seems bring a positive effect to lots of people or company. In the other hand, is this situation really fair to the man who found the diamond in the first place because usually this diamond dealer buy it in the very low price or is this fair to the diamond dealer because the bigger company from US also buy the diamond lower than the price in the market and so forth. According to Barak D. Richman (2006), this situation bring the changes in the diamond industry and gives what about to happen both into the future of ethnic exchange and into globalisation itself.
From the example that gave in the last paragraph before this, it is clear that globalisation also brings impacts in the jewellery industry regard on the first issues that concern the trade worldwide. It strikes in every aspect such as the market Size, Demand Determinants, Domestic, International markets and also in design. The Market Size gives the size of the market inside the country and the size of the export market. The Demand Determinants show the rise or fall of the demand in the market. The Domestic and International Markets describe the market for the products and services in jewellery industry. It helps to calculate the domestic market and the quantity accounted for by imports and exports and trends in the levels of imports and exports. "In so many ways, we in the jewellery business are prime beneficiaries of globalisation. The increasing ability to move capital, products, people and information over huge distances in very short periods of time, opened markets and provided us access to improved rough supply and manufacturing capacity.” Gaetano Cavalieri said in the CIBJO congress in the year of 2008.

According to Peter joseph, the director from “Zeitgeist the movie” in 2007 the entire world is a stage so there’s must be someone behind the curtain who control this global issues. He also claims 9/11 was create to produce crowd fear, instigate and give good reason for war, and certainly for economic gain. Sometimes people see globalization as improvement and development for a country, as well in another aspect. To some people that lives in develop countries globalisation may bring a solution to their economical problems. In the other hand, it will bring poverty, inequality and dramatically bring a war to this world. Therefore globalisation processes involve a lot of conflicts and discrepancy, which generates contradictory expectations (Modelsky et al. 1999).
It would seem natural to think that the growth of international market around the world brings gap in life of the rich and the poor or so we called inequality. In the last past ten years it is generally agreed that international trade has been a generator in the world economy. It will gather different type of people and organisation that have dissimilar values and helps developing countries to promote and sell their products to a bigger company from another country. For example, a big round diamond necklace that divestitures in a famous jewellery store in UK. The big rounded diamond was founded in South Africa that has been known as the world’s major gem quality diamond producers. Diamonds dealer from that country buy the diamond and looking for someone or another company whom wants to but it. Diamond Company from US buys that diamond and brings it to German to do a process of cutting and polishing. Germany is known as a first country that found a way to cut and polish a diamond and led to the development of various types of cut. After that, they delivered the diamond to a jewellery shop in Hong kong to design and build it. Finally the diamond company from US sells the beautiful diamond necklace to a famous jewellery shop in UK. This situation seems bring a positive effect to lots of people or company. In the other hand, is this situation really fair to the man who found the diamond in the first place because usually this diamond dealer buy it in the very low price or is this fair to the diamond dealer because the bigger company from US also buy the diamond lower than the price in the market and so forth. According to Simon Jeffery (2002), if these practices change domestic economic life with an economy that is controlled from other countries, then the method of globalisation means keeping poorer nations in their place.

Introduction
INTRODUCTION
Many countries intrigue their share especially on industries in the international market. According to Simon Jeffery (2002) globalisation makes people easier to do their job in business, or running financial markets - it became a process. In facts, the world getting smaller because of globalisation, it makes the world work as one big village. Globalisation brings big impacts to this world and it is not just within economics, but almost in every aspect such as in social life, technological, political and cultural structures. For instance places like Koh Samui in Thailand is a place holidaymakers and tourists used to visit to soak up the local eastern culture and basic lifestyle. Now within the main drag running through the town you have tesco supermarkets, Burger King and Mcdonald fast food stores. This is a perfect example of “westernisation” or better known today as “globalisation”. If this is not controlled, a similar case will appear throughout the world. Is this westernization will bring a negative or positive impacts to the country. This essay will discuss the advantages and disadvantages that will cost from globalisation in different aspect such as culture, environment, technology, economics and my area of study. How it is going to create new economic and cultural zones within and across nations.

SUMMARY HOMEWORK
Indian scientist checking ancient sayings that is possible to predict the weather to keep them maintains. Old say links monsoon to beginning 45 days after a common tree like cassia fistula start to blossoming. The Gujarat farmers declare that it is more advantageous to decide what seeds they want to grow in such weather. Dr. Kanani of Gujarat agricultural university has found that according to the tree, approximate date of the monsoon’s arrival can be successfully predict.
Writting essay 2
“INCREASED USE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TO FIGHT CRIME IS AN INFRINGEMNET ON PERSONAL PRIVACY.” To what extend do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Technology and science to fight crime could hopefully make people feel more safe in there day to day lives, be it traveling on public transport, shopping with their family or being a student or an artist living in an environment or a certain area to get themselves to another level in their careers which may be unsafe.
In general “if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about”. But I can relate to maybe a conspiracy that everybody needs or should have their own privacy protected. But in these times its very unfortunate that in our environment we have to survive within this idea. In general speaking people need inner peace and this seems a simple and realistic option. But I can understand a feeling of insecurity or of being possibly “monitored or watched” but I guess it’s the modern times quick solution to this drawback. So in this essay I would like to give you the fact that science and technology to fight crime is a positive, because crime has got bigger and more threatening and people are now more sensitive to this within the world. This should never prevent honest people moving forwards within their lives in harmony. This process does not have to be an invasion of a persons privacy, it can act as a huge prevention to people creating crimes or insecurity in our general day to day life.
These days, science and technology plays such an vital role in modern policing. Here is a variety selection of scientific and technological tools in police system: DNA database, Police National Computer (PNC), CCTV, Fingerprint, Road traffic law enforcement technology and maybe lots more. This new technology systems make possible for officers to use more time engaging with people and less time to fight crime activity. These new technology helps enduring to decrease burglary, vehicle crime, robbery and drug-related crime. A recent examples of this is the national DNA database, which has revolutionized crime detection. The UK leads the world in the application of DNA technology to the identification of criminal. However, the increased of use of science and technology by organized crime and terrorism means we have to ensure that the police have access to the sophisticated technology their need to stay one step a head.

MY DREAM
I had a really bad stomach last weekends so i end up in a hospital for three days. There's nothing much to do in there because i was sick so i can barely move so i spent most of my time sleeping. There's one time while i was sleeping i had this vivid dream that is so weird i can still remember (because of the time when i had dream i will forget the next day). And this is my dream.....
I was in tears, mad, sad and confused. There's a body in my lap, a death body. I am not sure who's the dead body used to belong, i cant recognised it. The feature of the dead body is like one of the character in lord of the ring, Gollum. It was skinny, so white and bald. And as i can remember the body wasn't so big because i can still hold it in my arms but it is not small either.
As i hold it, parts of the body keep falling. I tried so hard to hold it but i have to be becarefull because i can feel that the body is so fragile. I can hear the bone is cracking everytime i hold it to tight.
I am still confused..
"What is going on?"
Now the face of the body keep changing.. like a blur slide show in a movie.
I am starting to cry, cry and cry.. I feel so much in pain now. I can feel that i love this dead body even though i dont know who is he or she..
I feel so week and vunurable. Oh there, i can see that my mother is coming now, but why is she crying to?
And suddenly there's a lot of people here. I almost know everyone of them and they all try to cheer me up.
I am not sure where i was. My imagery keep changing.. but then i realized that it was a memorial house.
I am still holding the dead body and still crying.. suddenly i can hear that the dead body talks to me. And surprisingly it's my little brother. My little brother is almost 18 now but the body looks like when he was about 4 years old. ooo... he is a cute little thing with little tail in the back of his head.. he looks like a cute little angel. So angelic... and the happy part is he is talking to me. I can't take my eyes of him. God knows i love him so much.
I forget what he was talking about but as i remember he makes me smile.. in tears. I guess he's realize that he is dead now and he was trying to calm me down by talking to me and makes me understand that he is okay now.
I wouldn't let anybody touch him even my mother. I am sitting in a bench now, outside the house and hold him dearly in my arms.
Everyone there is busy now but i still dont know whats going on. My mother come to me and she is telling me that they have to change my little brother clothes into a costume. I finally said yes and let them change their clothes. I can see his face from far away now but i keep moving back.. like a slow motion movie.. and fading.. and i guess you all know thats the part when i wake up..
>>i am wrote this so i can improve my writing skill and my grammar. Which it both i am not good at it. If there's one of you read this and like to correct my mistake i will be very thankfull.

ROCKS AND FOSSILS
I like to read and discover something new. The last book i read is a book called "Rocks and Fossils: The Ultimate Guide to the Earth". I found that this book is so fascinating, full of knowledge and inspiring. This books reveals a variety different of rocks, a sparkling diamonds and a fossils. As you may know that i am going to take masters in jewellery next month, thats why for me this book is very helpfull. There's a lot of stone exept gold, metal or diamonds that we can use as an accescories in this world. Thats find me very interesting. Perhaps i might use this book as my bible. Which is for me, i hope this book takes you on a journey to the most remarkable geological sites in this world.
My thought about a book called: "Rocks and Fossils: The Ultimate Guide to the Earth" by Arthur B. Busbey III, et al.

Age of Aquarius
Humans have been decorating their bodies with the beauty of natural objects for thousands of years. And it is continue till now. Some woman even feel naked if she is not wearing a jewellery. And its being part of our everyday life no matter expensive it is. For example, a wedding ring. That’s why one of my passion is making a beautiful jewellery.
My jewellery project idea for my Masters degree is called “Age of Aquarius” it is inspired from and by my natural environment that I have grown up in and around. I am from Indonesia which is a group of islands in South East Asia, so I have always been surrounded and close to the sea. I used to snorkel and look and be amazed at the different colours and sea life that I could find, and it became apparent to me that it was a very different beautiful and colourful world down there.
For my collection I wanted to try and portray the mystery and colour found on fish, coral and other sealife, and give a sense of paradise to my pieces of jewellery
Today most people think of natural jewellery as shiny pieces of corals, pearls and precious stones polished and set in gold or silver. But I intend for my “marine inspired” collection to be made from materials such as wood, natural stones, scoloured plastics and perspex .
The title “Age of Aquarius” is inspired from the song featured in the famous musical Hair from 1968. I am very interested and inspired by the hippy scene and style of this period and the freedom and beauty within the design from that time, so this I try to combine in my design. The whole hippy movement I find very relevant to today as scenes and fashions seem to go in cycles.
We are also said to of just entered “The age of Aquarius”. Aquarius also means “The Water Carrier”…so for me the title of the collection fits perfectly.

"Research on science and technology in using to fight crime"
TECHNOLOGY TO FIGHT CRIME
Fingerprints: Impression of the friction ridges of all or any part of the finger that can be used for identification. flexibility of friction ridge skin means that no two finger or palm prints are ever exactly alike. Fingerprints collected at a crime scene, or on items of evidence from a crime, can be used in forensic science to identify suspects, victims and other persons who touched a surface.
DNA profiling: If the DNA profile for a crime suspect matches the profile from a sample found at the crime scene, there is a very high probability that they come from the same person. DNA is being used increasingly as evidence in court, but it is considered ‘circumstantial’ evidence and can only be used as proof with other supporting evidence.
FACTS AND FIGURES
In cases when DNA was recovered, the crime detection rate rose from 26% to 40% in 2004/05
In a typical month suspects are linked to 26 murders, 57 rapes and sexual offences and 3,000 motor vehicle, property and drug crimes. An average of 40,000 Criminal Justice samples and 4,000 crime stain samples are loaded to the database each month
The annual number of crimes detected where DNA scene-to-suspect links were made quadrupled from 8,612 in 1999/2000 to 35,605 in 2004/05
The number of DNA suspect-to-scene matches increased by 75% from 23,021 to 40,169 between 1999/2000 and 2004/05
The government and the police have invested over £300 million in the database
There are an average of 3,000 database matches each month
There were over 40,000 database matches in 2004/05

HOW DOES TV AFFECT PEOPLE’S BEHAVIOUR?
Nowadays television has become a common communications receiver in every house. According to The Kaiser Family Foundation (2004) American children and adolescents spend 22 to 28 hours per week viewing television, more than any other activity except sleeping. By the age of 70 they will have spent 7 to 10 years of their lives watching television. Some television programs might be educational, informative, fun and relaxing but equally they can be a “ vast wasteland”. Spending most of the time in front of television can turn people off from natural life and become anti social or even obesity. Research published in the June 2007 issue of the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine shows that young children are exposed to "a substantial amount of food advertising through TV" and around 80% of it is composed of unhealthy sweets, snacks, cereal, beverages and fast food. The effect of TV advertising on eating habits is just one example of the negative influence. In this essay, I would like to consider previous research carried out on how television can influence people’s mind and can be dangerous somehow. Also give people understanding how Television distorts reality and changes meanings because we instinctively believe the images on TV. And as human we suppose to live in reality rather than a fantasy world.
