Need an research paper on urban planning and decision making in dubai. Needs to be 16 pages. Please no plagiarism. Cosmopolis is, for Sandercock, “a common civic culture which has embraced the social project of tolerance, alterity, and inclusion” (Blanco 1998). Sandercock states that there are three forces that create the major cultural politics of difference: migration and multiculturalism, postcolonialism, and the age of women and minorities. She believes that the history of planning has supported segregation and discrimination. These are major forces at work in Dubai’s planning.

A perceived threat of marginalization (Aarts 1999) by less developed countries has often led to their full interaction with the world economy, before they may be ready. Aart feels that regionalization is reflected in the diversity of each integration project. In general, the Middle East or Arab world is seen as regional, or an “international subsystem”, but no political or economic arrangements between the segments of the Arab world has occurred (1999). It is out-of-step. A lack of democratic tradition combined with ‘realist’ thinking has not created any unity to date. Dubai, however, has its own agendas and is not as out-of-step with the world market.

Dubai is a sheikhdom of nearly 200 years and part of the federation of seven United Arab Emirates in southeast Arabia on the Persian Gulf. It was once the “dependency” (Columbia 2004) of Abu Dhabi until 1833. It became a British protectorate in the 1800s and the commercial capital of the sheikhdoms. British steamers used Dubai as their port of call on the way to India. There was a war with Abu Dhabi (1945-8) but it is now an ally with Abu Dhabi which is only 2 hours drive from Dubai. Oil was discovered in Dubai in the 1960s and Dubai was included in the UAE at its founding in 1971. The 1970s saw the building of a deepwater port and a supertanker dock.

Sandercock writes “From Barcelona to Bilbao, Baltimore and Boston, Vancouver and Toronto, New York and London, city governments in the late 20th century began to see their waterfronts as . . . capable of luring investment and reversing patterns of decline, creating new urban zones where pleasure and profit come together.” The ports are considered working ports or ‘industrial sewers’ less so than then they were and are now “terrains of availability” (Sandercock 2002).

Write 8 pages thesis on the topic critique of thomas friedman its a flat world, after all. During his visit, he met Nandan Nilekani, then CEO of Infosys, one of India’s major IT companies and after one such meeting with him understood how the world has become a “level playing field” and thus flatter. “Alas, I encountered the flattening of the world quite by accident…I was visiting the Indian high-tech capital, Bangalore…At one point, summing up the implications of all this, Nilekani uttered a phrase that rang in my ear…Tom, the playing field is being leveled.” (Friedman 2005). Globalization in hand with technology particularly IT has first ‘flattened’ the competitive field in the IT sector and in other business sectors, secondly, made geographical boundaries invisible and thirdly, aided many Third World countries to elevate their economic status.&nbsp.

Friedman divides globalization into three historical phases and also points out the key force which influenced globalization in each phase, and how the world became smaller after each phase. He terms the first phase as Globalization 1.0 and states that starting from the year 1492 and till 1800, the world shrunk from a large size to medium size, with the mindset of people of those times to discover new places, search for places with resources and imperialistic tendencies, acting as the influencing force. Then, Globalization 2.0 was visible from 1800 to 2000, during which companies due to opening up of markets by various countries and importantly due to the advancement of technologies, started globalizing and accessing new countries, thereby reducing the size of the world even further. Finally, Friedman writes about Globalization 3.0, which started around 2000 and is still continuing with more development. He states that in this present&nbsp.phase of globalization3.0, the convergence of fiber-optic micro cables and computers has made the world even smaller and importantly flatter place.

You will prepare and submit a term paper on The Topic of International Politics. Your paper should be a minimum of 2500 words in length. To decide whether international politics can be studied as a science, it is first necessary to define what constitutes a scientific study of a topic. At the end of the 19th century as the pursuit of science was beginning to be done according to modern standards, definitions of science were offered in order to more clearly ascertain the nature of scientific research. According to Michels (1880), science is created when three aspects of research are utilized. The first one observes, then one records those observations, and finally one draws conclusions based on what has been recorded (pp. 383). The Popular science monthly (1872) defined science more simply as a search for real truth (pp. 226). Although, this definition is complicated by philosophies on what is ’real’ and what is ’truth’.

development of an objective, consistent, documented system of knowledge based on rigorous systematic observations that lead to hypotheses that are then tested and refined (pp. 4). This definition defines science as the ability to observe and record something that will lead to a conclusion that is very similar to the musings of Michels on the topic. Science, in other words, is defined by the ability to research and draw conclusions about a topic.

If this is the definition of science, then any topic that has an observable aspect can be considered a science. Therefore, the topic of international politics can be viewed from a scientific point of view because the activities that occur in the international political arena can be observed, recorded, and have conclusions drawn from those observations. According to Olson and Groom (1991),&nbsp.noted lead writer for the New York Times and a theorist in international politics defines the concept of the science of international politics by the consequences of the tumultuous events in 1931 whereby the result was a determination to seek critical and analytical thought about the problems being faced globally.&nbsp.

Provide a 1 page analysis while answering the following question: Environmentalism Religion. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. Environmentalism Religion Environmentalism can be defined as. theory that views environment rather than heredity as the important factor in the development and especially the cultural and intellectual development of an individual or group. Many researchers have indicated that environmentalism is almost close to religious belief system, since it includes creation and ideas of origin of sin. As we try to look into environmentalism religion we as well trying to answer the question. what are the relationships between humans, their divers’ religions, and the Earth’s living systems? The answers to it, however, are difficult, complex, and complicated by a host of cultural, environmental, and religious variables.

Lynn Whites argues that those Biblical precepts made Christianity, “especially in its Western form, “the most anthropocentric religion the world has seen, “ In contrast to paganisms, Christianity posited “a dualism of man and nature” and “insisted that it is God’s will that man exploit nature for his proper ends.” Whereas ancient pagans’ creeds gave a cyclical account of time, Christianity assumes a teleogical way to history and with it the possibility of progress. The belief in progress was adopted in modern science, which, amounted to technology, and the results was the industrial revolution. Thus the power to control nature was achieved by a civilization that inherited the license to exploit it. According to White this was not a positive historical development, therefore, he believes that science technology could be the best ecological problems they had created.

In my opinion science and religion may have a connection at some point, since civilization was inherited at some point from the belief of exploiting God’s creation. However, this connection is not clear because science and religion are at loggerheads and none accepts the theories brought forth by the other.

In summary religion and environment maybe related in one way or another, but there is need for an extensive research to justify that. Researchers have indicated that environmentalism is close to religion. However, people argue that the two are different and science and technology is not only an advantage but an artificial problem. Finally, the subject is prone to further and extensive research that would come to a common ground regarding the issue.

I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Chemical Industry Safety in Saudi Arabia. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. After review of the availed data, safety parameters in a chemical industry was reached at as the main project goal. The analysis of these parameters was divided into four categories. These are risks the chemicals impose on human lives, measures necessary to avoid chemical risks, fire and explosion prevention and general safety within the factories. The recommendation from the study was a challenge to the Saudi government to ensure relevant industrial laws are enforced.

It is important to note that Saudi Arabia has made significant growth economic wise, an important aspect which can be attributed to the firm industrial base. Saudi Arabia has emerged to be among the few countries in the region that are in full support of its industrial sector. One of the beneficiaries of this support is the chemical industries that have significantly grown throughout the years courtesy of a supportive Saudi government. In spite of all these, the chemical industries have posed to be among the most delicate industries in terms of safety due to the various hazardous chemicals dealt with. Apart from this being a major concern, research has proven that accidents in industries are being caused by human errors, working environment and poor management in terms of safety. It is conclusive to say that the productivity of various industries is largely dependent on the safety of employees. Safety is therefore paramount and should be handled above any other thing.

Chemical industries have been reported over the years as having the worst accidents as compared to other industries due to the intensity of the chemicals handled there. Injuries from these accidents can either result in death or permanently cripple an individual. It is the severity of these accidents that should make a wakeup call to all stakeholders in the chemical industries to safety a priority. It is important to note that all accidents have a root cause and there is something that can be done to prevent future occurrences. The boldest step in averting the rate of accidents is to try and identify the leads to such accident occurrences with the sole intention of minimizing the frequency of happening.

It should be the obligation of all the stakeholders involved in the chemical industries to offer regular dissemination of information regarding the safety of all workers. Concerned governments should make it their priority in availing resources channeled towards educating all persons employed in the chemical industry.

The government should be more concerned when it comes to the safety of her workforce. Injuries sustained can lead to a significant drop in an individual’s productivity and the most worrying part is that unproductivity in the industrial sector is likely to hurt the economy slowly but steadily. It is important to note that the worker cannot be blamed for the accidents that are likely to occur at the workplace. Most workers lack proper knowledge of how to handle their safety while at the workplace. The manner in which workers are supervised is likely to influence the occurrence of particular accidents if the supervisor or employer does not follow some of the safety rules and regulations. Safety cannot be left to one party but should be considered as a collective responsibility and proper measures should be adopted for purposes of safety education and awareness.
