Global Communication
Global Communication
Global communication will continuously evolve with the cooperation of countries worldwide. Global communication is the process of transmitting and receiving information on a world wide scale. (Dickson) Global communication has been happening since the beginning of time. For example, in 1871, people the Pony Express system to send mail on horseback across the nation connecting the East and West coast of the United States. That is a small example of ways of communication within one country. The world has today has truly overcome many challenges and advancements to promote global communication.
Some of the negative factors of global communication are the distance, the time, and the language barriers. (Dickson) Comparing a convenience that is taken for granted by people today is mail delivery. I am sure that our grandparents and definitely their grandparents did not have the convenience to go to the postal office and deliver a package with the expectation for the receiver to get within a couple days. In contrast, we are fully capable of sending a package across the world to Saudi Arabia for overnight delivery with of course paying the proper fees.
Global Communication has benefited not only everyday citizens, but also our economy and business people. The advancement of technologies has become faster, clearer, and more effective. (Dickson) The technology advancements are also contributing to a more diverse and less stereotypical attitudes amongst our people. At one time in history blacks were not allowed to attend a white school. Today at SCSU there are countless clubs and organizations that are races and cultures around the world.
By definition globalization describes a process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through a global network of communication, transportation, and trade. (Wikipedia)Businesses have expanded across the nations, people are studying abroad, and multiracial families are common in today’s society. People are grasping the fact that there are other nations, races, languages, cultures, and customs to be aware of and when possible to educate themselves about.
Nothing is ever as great as it seems. Along with globalization there are negative factors that most are not aware of. For example, in the business trade, the competition and the deniable desire for cheap labor and products is a result of sweatshops. Sweatshops are an undesirable environment for people. They pay little to nothing, may subject their employees to abuse, long working hours, no breaks, and can exist in every country. The only difference is the way each country or city chooses to run their sweatshops.
Americans particularly see this globalization and global communication as an advantage in many ways. Personally, I am grateful for the advancement if global communication because without its advancements within the past ten years I may not have been able to come to America to complete my studies.
Global communication is constant and will forever be advancing. It can be a wonder if this communication will always be a benefit or if there is a fine line that it may start to create increasing negative affects amongst our nations.

descripe 3 examples
I am going to descripe 3 examples from the first exercises:
1- Parallelism
It means you have to make the sentence balanced and have the same weight especially between these word ( and , or, but).
ex.1 A tsunami can also result from a large explosion or when a volcano erupts.
ex.2 A tsunami can also result from a large explosion or a volcano eruption.
So, the first example is not balanced because after OR he uses verb and it should be noun, but in the second he uses noun before and after OR
2-Active and passive verbs
Active verbs form more efficient and more powerful sentences than passive verbs
ex.1 I throw the ball.
The subject of an active sentence performs the action of the verb
ex.2 The ball is thrown by me.
The subject of a passive sentence is still the main character of the sentence, but something else performs the action.
3-Mixed construction
It is a sentence that starts with one grammatical form and ends with another.
ex.1 The name of the song called "words unspoken".
In this sentence we don't need the word "called"
ex.2 The name of the song is " words unspoken"
So you notice that we change the word " called" to "is"

top three Sory-in-a box entries
Wednesday, September 8, 2010top 3 stories
Jin Xin- Story of the Box
This was an interesting story for me. He had a dream that travels would bring wealth. First of all people would love this because people are attractive to wealth and see wealth in monetary terms. This story is about a dream that told a person that travels would bring wealth to this person. After all of his travels and experiences he came to find out the real meaning of wealth. This to me is a great story. I am sure that he explained it well and I appreciate the real story of wealth.
Chris Osby- A wierd Day
This is a fairly short story that talks about voodoo and this is something that I am not familiar with but it sparked an interest. This story starts off with alot of chaos and displays of a person that had plans and was very disorganized with thier traveling plans. I am not sure how the voodoo plays into affect of peoples lives or exactly what it means but this story seems to be interesting.
Khalid Alotaibi- Story In a Box
This story I think is well written and also makes me curious about not only the story but the life that may be in this story. Being on a voyage and having a captain in charge of the voyage would be an interisting experience. I am curious to know what the anitient pictures are of and also what the antient tools that are used in this story. This story make me intererested in not only the time of the story but what happens then and what will happen.
