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.

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
