He created small portable timepieces driven by springs that allowed the time to be told for around 40 hours. These early watches were irregular but became status symbols. Later watches improved in accuracy with innovations like the fusee and became necessary for navigation. Now people increasingly rely on electronic devices rather than watches to tell time.Raphael power point presentation

International intergovernmental organizations play an important role in addressing global political issues and preventing the spread of infectious diseases across borders. As political and economic ties between countries increase, more international organizations have formed to provide a platform for global policymaking through discussion and negotiation. These organizations contribute to issues like avian influenza by distributing disease information, establishing research networks, and formulating cooperative policies between countries. They have made efforts such as subsidizing poor nations' response efforts, demanding disease reporting, planning early warning systems, stockpiling antiviral drugs, and raising funds for prevention activities.International trade "silk road"

The document discusses the Silk Road, an ancient network of trade routes connecting China to the Mediterranean region. It details how the Silk Road facilitated cultural exchange and the spread of religions from its inception in the 2nd century BC until its decline in the late Middle Ages. Specifically, it highlights that the Silk Road's peak was during the Tang Dynasty in China when the capital Changan became a cosmopolitan center of trade. It then describes how the fragmentation of the Mongol Empire and outbreaks of plague contributed to the Silk Road's fading importance by the 15th century. The document concludes by noting growing modern interest in restoring and promoting tourism along the historic Silk Road trade routes.The Silk Road
The Silk RoadKerri4

The Silk Road began as Chinese traders exchanged expensive goods like silk and spices along sea and land routes. This grew into an extensive trade network connecting China to other civilizations in Asia and Europe. The Han Dynasty emperor sent an explorer named Zhang Qian westward to seek allies, and he returned having learned about new cultures and opportunities for trade. By the 1st century AD, the Silk Road spanned 4,000 miles from Western China to the Mediterranean Sea, facilitating the exchange of goods and ideas despite risks of banditry. Through trade, Chinese writers obtained descriptions of the Roman Empire in the West. For over 1,000 years, the Silk Road was the primary link between Asia and Europe.Multinational corporations

Multinational corporations operate in multiple countries but are headquartered in one home country. They are large organizations that manage production or offer services across international borders. Multinational corporations expand operations globally to reduce costs, access new markets, and utilize competitive advantages. However, some critics argue that multinational corporations can exploit labor and resources in host countries and diminish cultural and economic sovereignty.Silk Road

Silk was one of the softest fabrics in the world and became a symbol of wealth. It was made from silkworm cocoons. The Silk Road traded metals, gems, silk and spices between China and Persia, though it was dangerous to travel. Only luxury goods were traded due to the dangers and expenses, but the potential for large profits justified the risks. In addition to goods, trade also involved cultural exchanges and reduced the likelihood of war between trading partners who depended on each other economically.Multinational corporations MNCs

Globalization is a complex phenomenon with arguments on both sides. Proponents argue that globalization leads to more efficient use of resources and economic growth that benefits all involved. However, critics argue that globalization threatens jobs and wages as companies outsource work overseas, and that it could undermine national sovereignty as corporations gain more power. Overall, there are reasonable perspectives on both sides of this complex issue with reasonable arguments that globalization may have both benefits and drawbacks.Multinational corporations

Globalization is a complex process that has accelerated dramatically in recent decades due to reductions in transportation and communication barriers. It involves the growing integration of economies and societies around the world through increased cross-border trade, investment, and cultural exchange. While globalization has connected people in unprecedented ways and increased economic growth in many places, it has also increased inequality and cultural homogenization in some areas. The document traces the history of globalization from early empires through modern increases in international institutions and advances in technology that have further driven global integration.Globalisation slideshare

Globalization is a process that involves the worldwide integration of economies, technologies, and cultures. It began accelerating in the late 20th century due to advances in transportation and communication technology. While globalization has led to increased economic opportunities through expanded trade and investment, it has also contributed to cultural and economic homogenization. It has impacted systems of governance, urban development, labor markets, and gender norms around the world. Both supporters and critics of globalization make arguments around its effects on issues like sovereignty, inequality, and cultural diversity.The Causes and Effects of Globalisation
The Causes and Effects of GlobalisationAisling O Connor
油
Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectedness of economies and societies around the world through trade and information sharing. There are three main types - economic, social, and political. Key drivers of globalization include improved communications like the internet, improved transportation infrastructure, free trade agreements, global banking, and the growth of multinational corporations. The effects of globalization include a changed global food supply, increased outsourcing and less job security in some countries, potential environmental damage from increased trade and transport, homogenization of cultures, and a rise in anti-globalization protests.More from 10yoc (7)
