Download or read book Challenges to Globalization written by Robert E. Baldwin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People passionately disagree about the nature of the globalization process. The failure of both the 1999 and 2003 World Trade Organization's (WTO) ministerial conferences in Seattle and Cancun, respectively, have highlighted the tensions among official, international organizations like the WTO, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, nongovernmental and private sector organizations, and some developing country governments. These tensions are commonly attributed to longstanding disagreements over such issues as labor rights, environmental standards, and tariff-cutting rules. In addition, developing countries are increasingly resentful of the burdens of adjustment placed on them that they argue are not matched by commensurate commitments from developed countries. Challenges to Globalization evaluates the arguments of pro-globalists and anti-globalists regarding issues such as globalization's relationship to democracy, its impact on the environment and on labor markets including the brain drain, sweat shop labor, wage levels, and changes in production processes, and the associated expansion of trade and its effects on prices. Baldwin, Winters, and the contributors to this volume look at multinational firms, foreign investment, and mergers and acquisitions and present surprising findings that often run counter to the claim that multinational firms primarily seek countries with low wage labor. The book closes with papers on financial opening and on the relationship between international economic policies and national economic growth rates.
Download or read book America s Corporate Brain Drain written by Babs Ryan and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Press '1' to listen to five more phone menus. If this is an emergency, please stay on the line forever for the next available operator?. If you hate phone menus, you're not alone. When big companies saw data proving that up to 70 percent of callers press '0' to reach a live operator, they did exactly what you'd expect. Instead of getting live operators to answer the phones, they disabled the 'zero out' function.From gouging gas prices to free checking accounts that charge for checkbooks and offer pointless point programs (50 percent of points are never redeemed), big businesses in America are disconnected. Most no longer offer the best products and services. America's Corporate Brain Drain reveals that the swell of me-too products and lousy service is because the best people no longer work in Goliath companies. We're moving forward with Toyota and connecting with Nokia because the brightest sparks in the U.S. have left big corporations or are planning exit strategies. The 27 million small-business owners didn't get the boot 89 percent of entrepreneurs quit their former positions. Boomers are negotiating for early retirement to start hobby jobs. Grads aren't willing to climb towering corporate ladders. Of the employees still stuck in big companies, 70 percent are unhappy with their jobs.In Corporate Brain Drain, corporate deserters, employees, and consumers who are fed up with behemoth banks and big old phone companies will find the real reasons why big business stopped working. And they'll discover how Americans, who are increasingly unwilling to put up with inferior products and the corporate culture that creates them, are regaining control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two sociologists reveal how small towns in Middle America are exporting their most precious resource—young people—and share what can be done to save these dwindling communities In 2001, with funding from the MacArthur Foundation, sociologists Patrick J. Carr and Maria J. Kefalas moved to Iowa to understand the rural brain drain and the exodus of young people from America’s countryside. They met and followed working-class “stayers”; ambitious and college-bound “achievers”; “seekers,” who head off to war to see what the world beyond offers; and “returners,” who eventually circle back to their hometowns. What surprised them most was that adults in the community were playing a pivotal part in the town’s decline by pushing the best and brightest young people to leave. In a timely, new afterword, Carr and Kefalas address the question “so what can be done to save our communities?” They profile the efforts of dedicated community leaders actively resisting the hollowing out of Middle America. These individuals have creatively engaged small town youth—stayers and returners, seekers and achievers—and have implemented a variety of programs to combat the rural brain drain. These stories of civic engagement will certainly inspire and encourage readers struggling to defend their communities.
Download or read book God Authored and Approved Brain Drain written by Emmanuel Oghenebrorhie and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term "Brain Drain" or "Best Brains' Drain/carting away" is only a derogatory reference to God intended concept of maximizing the spectacularly skilled persons He sent to live and add great value to mankind in each generation. It is peddled by persons who have failed in their responsibility to manage such special God-sent individuals to benefi t themselves and their territory optimally. When some fail examinations, rather than take responsibility for their poor performance and double their efforts to turn their failure in their success, they would choose to fi nd fault with the examiners, script markers and graders. The two major ways to stop acclaimed oppression is either to make the oppressor stop any how or resist the oppressor into stopping. When Laban would not stop cheating Jacob, commonsense made Jacob opt to withdraw his services from Laban's employment without notice. He did not continue to shout blue murder without doing something tangible from his own end. In fact, Jacob did not waste his time seeking mediation by the elders or leaders and rulers of Laban's nation of Haran also known as Padan-Aram. Some call it taking charge of how others treat you. Prolonged accusation of being oppressed is a sign of weakness or laziness, foolishness, planlessness, and even outright stupidity. After prolonged mourning over being mocked for childlessness, Hannah made concerted effort to put an end and God blessed her effort to the regret of her mocker and maligner. Enjoy a happy reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times–bestselling author The author of The Brain Fog Fix presents “a smart, science-based way to heal anxiety and insomnia” through nutrition, CBT techniques, mindfulness, breathwork, and more (Daniel Amen, New York Times–bestselling author). Are you anxious, frazzled, exhausted? Do you find yourself constantly worrying? Do you feel like you’re “running on empty”? Do you have trouble sleeping? Like millions of people living today, your brain has become drained. These days, it seems like everything in our day-to-day lives —from our increasingly unpredictable world, the smart phones we can’t stop using, to the processed foods we eat all day long, to the many hours we spend at our jobs —is setting us up to feel drained. The short-term effects of becoming drained are uncomfortable, but the long-term effects can be life-threatening. Left untreated, it can quadruple your risk of high blood pressure —the #1 cause of preventable death. Finding natural solutions to anxiety and insomnia is becoming increasingly vital as sleeping pills, antianxiety medications, and hospitalizations have seen a dramatic spike recently. More and more people are desperate to heal their drained brains. In his latest book, Dr. Mike Dow offers a 2-week plan designed to help you naturally balance your brain. He explains what drains modern brains, which groups are wired for it, and provides clinically proven tools to help you feel less drained. Dr. Mike offers nutritional tips, recipes, cognitive behavioral tools, supplements, breathing techniques, self-hypnosis, and mindfulness. Stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline go down as feel-good neurotransmitters like GABA and serotonin rise.
Download or read book Stopping the Brain Drain of Skilled Veteran Teachers written by William L. Fibkins and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2012 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veteran educators are being encouraged to take early retirement in order to create jobs for less-experienced, lower-paid novices. Veteran educators are not alone: early retirement promotions have become the norm for aging workers in America. Consequently, there is a brain-drain of skilled workers at the national, state, and local levels. The early retirement of our most talented veteran educators is leaving our schools without the necessary leadership, hard-earned experience, proven skills, and wisdom to meet the evolving challenges our country faces. Indeed, there are long-term consequences of losing skilled educators while they are in the prime of their professional lives. Addressing these concerns, this book challenges the "good news only" theory of early retirement promotions which suggest that veteran educators are no longer needed as they age and that their retirement is the only way schools can survive financially in times of economic uncertainty. This theory contends that everyone involved gets a reward: the novice educators get jobs and the veterans get some cash. This trade is seemingly no problem, until the veteran educators are out the door and the school staff, students, and parents are left without their steady guiding hands. Instead of hastily luring prime educators out the schoolhouse door with planned buyout promotions, schools should offer our most gifted veteran educators career alternatives that will encourage and reward them to remain on board, thereby allowing them to lead novice and mid-career staff, students, parents, and community members. Examining the negative consequences of early retirement promotions on school culture, administrative leadership, teacher and student performance, community reaction, Stopping the Brain Drain of Skilled Veteran Teachers will not only expose some of the major drawbacks of early buyouts of veteran educators, but will also suggest creative career alternative to keep such teachers on board.

Download or read book Brain Drain written by Michael Mathiesen and published by Michael Mathiesen. This book was released on 2019-05-08 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a Galaxy not very far away, there once existed a beautiful blue planet which the local inhabitants started to use as a giant trash bin, scattering their refuse and their excrement into the oceans and the atmosphere by the millions of tons every day. Though they lost species near and dear to them every day, sadly, their suicidal, self-destructive behavior continued unchecked for centuries. The most intelligent of the life forms on this planet, at the top of their game, had more and more evidence piling up every day that told them that their planet was dying and that they were the cause, and yet they did nothing from the top down to stop it. They were so busy inside their own heads, they could not or would not heed the warnings that they continually saw happening around them. They were all doomed and many had even come to accept their fate. They gave up trying to solve their greatest problems and instead started to revel in their excesses that made things worse. They surrendered to the political reality of their day. They succumbed to the mindless drum beat of the advertisements for greed all around them. Then, one day, one of their people allows his brain to be extracted from his skull and placed inside a 'Think Tank' so that they can dissect and inspect pure Consciousness and perhaps even find solutions above and beyond their innate capabilities. The experiment continued until it worked far beyond anyone's wildest dreams and all life forms on planet Earth were saved, eventually, though with a very high price to pay. This is the story of the brain that will be extracted from the skull of a very unselfish and beneficent individual someday in the very near future and the drain of the physical Consciousness into the plane of the ethereal. The connections that real life events will have to this story will become the basis of proof for all of the laws of physics that, as of the writing of this book, are known but still unproven. The Science contained herein could also be proven by the predictions that will come true in the future derived from the theories contained herein. The truth is - we are born into the United State Of the Universe above and beyond any other kind of state we may take pride in joining and/or defending. This is a Science Fiction story that is not for the faint of heart nor for the humblest of minds. The reader should have at least a High School education and preferably a college degree and an interest in delving into the greatest discoveries in Science and into the deepest recesses of the human mind and how all minds are connected to the Cosmos all around us. If you are brave enough to tackle these most challenging subjects, this book’s importance will arise suddenly in your own brain as something exactly opposite to a brain drainage and instead could become your greatest brain retainage. Make no mistake, a great experiment lies within these pages and the outcome of your reading could either prove or disprove one of the greatest theories of all time. Einstein’s brain was not able to prove that we all emanate out of the same thing, that there is only one force in the universe that gives birth to all the others. But, this story may explain why the greatest mind of all time could not see the forest for the trees. Perhaps an alien civilization living in another galaxy nearby will have the answer. Perhaps the most amazing and magical music of the Excelons can help us mainly due to their discovery of the Om-Ong and the songs of the Om-Ong, produced here. It is music, after all that brings us all together. Could there be another kind of music that holds the universe together? Only Time will tell. Hopefully for all of us, Space and Time may produce the Brain Drain that is described herein. Learn how we are all part of the United State of Consciousness, far more than we live in any other kind of state.

Download or read book Only One Chance written by Philippe Grandjean and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, one out of every six children suffers from some form of neurodevelopmental abnormality. The causes are mostly unknown. Some environmental chemicals are known to cause brain damage and many more are suspected of it, but few have been tested for such effects. Philippe Grandjean provides an authoritative and engaging analysis of how environmental hazards can damage brain development and what we can do about it. The brain's development is uniquely sensitive to toxic chemicals, and even small deficits may negatively impact our academic achievements, economic success, risk of delinquency, and quality of life. Chemicals such as mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), arsenic, and certain pesticides pose an insidious threat to the development of the next generation's brains. When chemicals in the environment affect the development of a child's brain, he or she is at risk for mental retardation, cerebral palsy, autism, ADHD, and a range of learning disabilities and other deficits that will remain for a lifetime. We can halt chemical brain drain and protect the next generation, however, and Grandjean tells us how. First, we need to control all of the 200 industrial chemicals that have already been proven to affect brain functions in adults, as their effects on the developing brain are likely even worse. We must also push for routine testing for brain toxicity, stricter regulation of chemical emissions, and more required disclosure on the part of industries who unleash hazardous chemicals into products and the environment. Decisions can still be made to protect the brains of future generations. "In his crisply written, deeply documented book, Dr. Philippe Grandjean, renowned physician and public health specialist, describes the exquisite vulnerability of the developing human brain to toxic chemicals in the environment, a vulnerability that he ascribes to the brain's almost unimaginable complexity. Today, nearly one in 6 children is born with a neurodevelopmental disorder - a birth defect of the brain. One in 8 has attention deficit disorder. One in 68 is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. These rates are far higher than those of a generation ago, and, although they are less publicized, the problems are more prevalent than those caused by thalidomide in the 1960's. The increases are far too rapid to be genetic. They cannot be explained by better diagnosis. How then could they have come to be? Dr. Grandjean has a diagnosis -- the thousands of toxic chemicals that have been released to the environment in the past 40 years with no testing for toxicity. David P. Rall, former Director of the US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, once stated that 'If thalidomide had caused a ten-point loss of IQ rather than obvious birth defects of the limbs, it would probably still be on the market'. This is the core message of Dr. Grandjean's 'must read' book." - Philip J. Landrigan, Dean for Global Health, Ethel H. Wise Professor and Chairman and Director, Children's Environmental Health Center, Mount Sinai School of Medicine
