Techniques on how to handle poverty, trauma, adult learning and the web gl...Chrysalis Campaign, Inc.
This document discusses techniques for helping marginalized groups through education and technology. It presents three case studies: 1) An African youth program in Zambia that teaches about colonialism through digital storytelling. 2) A program in Brooklyn for urban minority youth that addresses trauma and teaches STEM, GED, ESL and life skills. 3) A women's center in Bridgeport, CT that teaches adults job and life skills through innovative methods and technology. It argues that these programs help reengage populations pushed out of traditional education by addressing issues like poverty, trauma and accessibility through collaborative online learning frameworks.

Role of Corporate in promoting women empowerment through SHGJayanta Chakraborti
Corporates have played a key role in promoting women empowerment through self-help groups (SHGs) in several ways: (1) Hindustan Unilever launched Project Shakti to distribute products and provide livelihood opportunities to over 70,000 women entrepreneurs; (2) ITC supports marginal women farmers and forms waste management groups to provide sustainable livelihoods; (3) ICICI Bank aims to empower over 2 million women through SHG loans totaling $2.5 billion. When aligned with business goals or as part of corporate social responsibility, SHGs have allowed corporates to boost women's economic participation and decision-making power in their families and communities.
Unit 4 lesson - protectionism - power point- dukemsladuke
This document discusses different types of trade barriers such as tariffs, import quotas, voluntary export restraints, and embargoes. It provides examples of current tariff rates on various goods and lists countries that are currently subject to US embargoes. The main arguments for and against protectionism are outlined, such as protecting domestic jobs and industries but hindering efficiency and competition. While protectionism aims to shelter local economies, it often does more harm than good in the long run by raising prices and reducing overall purchasing power.
Trade negotiations of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TTP) trade deals have provided more fuel to the fire of this ongoing debate.
The document discusses various barriers to international trade, including transportation costs, policy barriers like tariffs and non-tariff barriers, and internal trade costs. It also examines the motivations for countries adopting protectionist policies, such as responding to dumping or trade deficits, protecting domestic employment, and protecting strategic industries. Finally, it outlines some arguments against protectionism, noting the risks of retaliation, market distortion effects like higher consumer prices and costs for exporters.
The document discusses protectionism and trade liberalization. Protectionism refers to restricting trade between countries through tariffs, quotas, and non-tariff barriers. Tariffs increase import prices while quotas restrict quantities. Non-tariff barriers make trade costly through regulations and standards. Countries adopt protectionism to shield domestic industries and jobs and for strategic or political reasons. Trade liberalization aims to reduce these barriers by promoting specialization, efficient resource allocation, and market access through agreements like GATT and the WTO. However, fully liberalizing world trade faces challenges in removing barriers like agricultural subsidies.
