       In this essay Professor. Rothenberg has a display the harmful effects of the use of external specially for the students. The writer has claimed that plagiarism (copying) has lost the sense of originatily. Infact his experience with the last semester students clarify that the students were eager to download the materials without mentioning their sources likewise all the references were take from the external and the students even didn’t know where they exactly accured.

                   For the ever growing use of the web, the students themselves aren’t fully responsible because the universities themselves teach the students ,” Don’t read, Just connect”. Instead of searching the materials in the labraries, it is easy for the students to cut and paste.

                   The university teachers must be friendly with the students and they must encourage the students to read books from the libraries and consult the related journals when the teachers give pressure to the students they are likely to download the materials form the web that helps them to secured a good grade and avoid the pressure of the teacher.

                   It is also necessary that libraries must be mad up-to-date. It is better to invest on buying book than spending so much money for computer.

          According to the writer , he is given hundreds of research papers by the final years students. He would like to read all of them and eraluat them but he knows that this papers aren’t the original creation of the students for they were down loaded from the web.

          It was abuious that the downloaded materials lost their originality due to which writing of the students lost coherence (unity).

          While looking at the papers the writer noticed that all the works cited from the web and they were written during to months. It clarified that the students were missing the general trend of the past and they also failed to make their papers specific. Neither they were able to take any authentic writers. For their citation nor were they able to give credit to the owner of the material.

          In the research papers the beautiful pictures had been quitted but those pictures were the result of copy cut and paste. Besides random quotations were found but the sources weren’t maintain.

          Prof. Rotherberg Denigh that he is a new – luddile but against the idea of misusing the technology. In other words, he believes that the students quality should not be damaged by so – called industrialization.

          After finding out the errors with students. The writer talks about the causing factors for their flight. First of all. Universities themselves are responsible because they are trying to show themselves modernize and spend a huge amount for the computers. The slogan “don’t read, first connect “. Encourages the students to download the materials rather than create their own ideas. Similarly the teachers are unable to provide adequate information to the students the result in downloading the materials. Specially the students of second language download the materials hsow as to secure a good grave in their exams.

          Therefore the students must be made aware about the harmful effects of downloading the materials and they must be encouraged to use libraries free – entry.

Someone is Stealing Your Life

Someone is Stealing Your Life

-Michael Ventura

“Someone is Stealing Your Life” is an essay, written by Michael Ventura. In this essay, the writer describes the exploitation, lack of freedom and the lack of authority that the most workers of the U.S.A. experience. The writer strongly advocates for the situation in which the workers are free to express their ideas, contribute in the decision making and get the finally atmosphere for working.

In this essay, the writer strongly advocates for the rights of working class people especially of the USA. The writer doesn’t mean that the workers should get equal profit and authority. However, he believes that the employers don’t have the rights to exploit or rub the like of the worker. At least, there must be the value of the workers contribution and his voice should be heard and included in decision making process.

Out of 52 weeks, a worker gets only two weeks paid holiday. In that sense, out of 6 years of servile, a worker gets only 12 weeks of his own. It is hardly 3 months. Similarly, it is a worker who stands for the company. In other words, workers are the life line of any company. But the tragically, the workers don’t have any decision making power. In a sense, they are just the puppet of their employers. They are almost treated as slaves.

According to the writer, the owner has taken the greatest risk of investing their money in the business. So obviously they must get a greater amount of profit. But the fact is that they must not exclude the workers from the authority. Truly speaking, the workers have every right to know about their company, their product and the decision which are being taken. However, it is the workers who are victimized mostly when the company is bankrupted by the wrong decision.

The writer of this essay seems to be making a radical statement that the workers should get some share in the company in which they work. His ideas are not beyond criticism however his main argument is that the workers should get friendly atmosphere for their work and their contribution or the price of their sweat must be paid. Besides, he also encourages the worker to work against the injustice and work for their betterment. He also challenges the employers if they expect their workers to be passive and dance according to their time; it would be their greatest error.

US Annual Economic Outlook 2019

Despite the turmoil, the global economy will continue to grow with low inflation in 2019

2018 has been a year of turmoil for financial markets with weakness in the bond markets and two significant sell-offs in equity markets. However, 2019 promises to be much calmer. After a very strong start in equity markets between November 2017 and the end of January 2018, there was a big sell-off from January to April, and another beginning in October and continuing through to December. In between there was a series of disturbances in emerging markets (EM) featuring crises in Venezuela, Argentina and Turkey. In addition to the long-running saga of the Brexit negotiations, the year featured a strong rise in the price of oil followed by a sudden collapse from early October, and disruptions created by President Trump’s repeated trade measures – targeted first at steel and aluminium, then at Europe and NAFTA (North America Free Trade Agreement), and ultimately focusing primarily on China. With numerous other geopolitical events adding to investors’ anxieties – such as wars and unrest in the Middle East, continuing immigration pressures in Europe and the US, the victory of populists over the establishment in Italy and the consequent budget disputes with the EU Commission in Brussels – there was plenty of reason for investors to pull back from risk-markets such as equities. However, the fundamental backdrop to all this was the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) policy of normalising US interest rates, raising them from 1.25% in early December 2017 to 2.25% a year later, and shrinking it balance sheet. Rising US rates always create a challenging environment for investors. After nearly a decade of virtually zero interest rates, the upturn in rates has put steadily increasing pressure on equity and other risk asset classes. Although some of these geopolitical events may prove to be temporarily damaging, it is my view that they will prove to be no more than waves on the surface of the tide which is the record-breaking expansion of the US business cycle. (Greenwood, 2019)

US monetary policy is becoming less accommodative, but the Fed is not “tightening”, only “normalising” policy. The current “normalisation” phase is analogous to the mid-course corrections in interest rates that occurred in 1994-95 and 2004-05. The important point about those episodes was that the business cycle continued to expand for several years after the completion of normalisation, and the equity and real estate markets also peaked considerably after these rate hikes were completed. At its meeting on 7-8 November the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the Fed kept the federal funds rate at 2.0-2.25%, having removed in September the wording in their previous statements that had asserted the “stance of monetary policy remains accommodative”. The median projection of FOMC members for the federal funds rate remained at 3.1% for 2019 (suggesting four rate hikes of 0.25% during 2019) and 3.4% for 2020, but with the recent sell-off on Wall Street and the plunge in the price of WTI oil to $51 the FOMC may defer raising rates at their meeting on 18-19 December.

Out of Courtesy Chapter 5 Write to be Read BBS First Year Write to be Read

Out of Courtesy

1.      Which of the three “basic ingredients” of courtesy makes the must sense to you?

Ans: The three basic ingredients are:

1.      A strong sense of justice

2.      Empathy

3.      The capacity to treat all people alike

4.      Every culture/ religion has its own golden rule that people try to live by. What is yours? How do people apply it?

Ans: The belief in the existence of a god or gods and the activities that are connected with the worship of them is called religion. Every religion has its own golden rules that people try to live by. My religion is Hindu which has also some golden rules that we find people try to live by.

Courtesy, politeness and good manners are the basic ingredients of our culture. We respect to our seniors and love to our juniors. We respect and welcome to our guests heartily since guests are supposed as gods. Parents and teachers are highly respected and supposed as gods. We think that our birth place is dearer than heaven. We help to the poor giving money or something. We don’t try to do bad or sinful works because we afraid of gods. There are many other golden rules in our culture.

Culture rules are transferred from one generation to another by following them. People apply the rules in their life and make their life valuable. Our rules have really made us practicable (capable or useful). People apply these rules by following them in their day-to-day life.

3.      Do you agree with Dr. Peale that our lives would be happier if we all had better manners? Explain.

Ans: Yes, I agree with Dr. Peale that our lives would be happier if we all had better manners. It is clear that a person can be happy when he/ she is politely and respectably behaved. Many things come under good manners. Respecting to seniors, loving to juniors, speaking politely, helping to the poor, not speaking false etc. are the examples of good manners. If we all have good manners, we will behave to others well and we shall be well behaved by others. When we behave to others with good manners, they are happy and we are also happy when we are behaved with good manners. In this way good manners bring happiness in the lives of everyone.

If we all have good manners, we shall not have negative attitudes and feelings. God manners will stop us to do any kinds of works and being cruel to others. Good manners will really create only positive attitudes in our mind. Good manners will also create the world of happiness and we will be the happy persons of that happy world but these all things are only possible when we all have good manners.

4.      Are there universal good manners? In other words, is there a core of good manners that polite people of all countries recognize? Or, are good manners different for each individual culture?

Ans: I cannot simply say that there are universal good manners. Manners mean the habits and customs of a particular group of people. Manners also refer the way that somebody behaves and speaks towards other people. Manners differ from culture to culture, religion to religion and country to country. We can see many examples that prove that there are not universal good manners. For example: Bride wears red clothes in marriage in Hindu religion which is supposed best but in Christianity, bride wears white dress. What a difference white dress suits for bride in Christianity while in Hindu religion a widow wears white dress.

Good manners are different rather than universal due to various cultural norms and values. The manner which is best in one culture, religion or country may be worst in another religion, culture or country. A hug or a kiss is supposed common in western culture but it is not accepted in our culture.

However, there are certain core good manners which people of all countries recognize. Such as to respect to the seniors, to love to the juniors, to welcome to the guests heartily, to speak politely, to respect and obey parents and teachers. In this way justice, politeness, empathy, honesty, faithful, to treat all people alike etc. are the core of good manners that polite people of all countries recognize.
