    I like pushing the frontiers of my mind and have always enjoyed the excitement of a challenge. For me, sports have been the biggest learning ground where I have acquired a lot of my life lessons and gained insight into the workings of the human mind. I love the outdoors and my passion for sports has helped me to explore the limits of my strength, physically and mentally. I have had the pleasure and the responsibility to be a member of the football, cricket, basketball and water polo teams which won many laurels for my school. In my final year at school I was awarded the highest award for contribution to sports called the ‘Sports Tie’ and also the ‘School Colour’ that is the most prestigious award given to an individual for contribution to the school.…

    In the Lake District, there are a number of ways in which farm diversification has taken place. For example, as the income that farmers receive has decreased, they have to creative new ways to make money. On way of doing this is when their sheep are clipped, although their fleece is poor quality and colour, they can sell it for loft insulation or carpets. Also, the Lake District has become a popular tourist destination and as a result of this, lots of farm diversification has taken place, such as gift shops such as ‘Kirk Allan’s gifts’ and ‘Grasemere Crafts’ in Ambleside. Lots of B&B’s have been created, such as ‘Amber Grove’ and ‘Hillsdale’, and farm parks have been set up too, like ‘Low Sizergh Barn’.…

    Farmer Market

    Farmers’ markets was established and known as a place that consumers can get organic food from directly, since 1998, in Australia. According to VFMA (Victorian Farmers’ Markets Association), farmers’ market is a produced market that is held regularly at local area which gives farmers and food producers convenience space to sell their origin product directly to public. There are no exact numbers of this market until now but as stated to other resources, there are around 150 in Australia and more than 90 in Melbourne. I had chance to visit two farmer markets in Melbourne last two Saturdays in March, 2013, Collingwood and Gastro in Art Park. Both of them are likely to be the same because I could find many stores with the same names or labels such as James Potatoes or Christ Grant Herb and so on. The interesting thing that I found there is that “green” and social environment. All the stores regard protecting environment as a prior thing by putting their products in paper bags or in customers’ bag. Once walking in farmer markets, I felt like backing Australian life 50 years ago: peaceful and “fresh”. People talk to each others, communication between the sellers and consumers with the music from the entertainers. It is also a perfect place for the customers those like shopping with their lovely pets.…

    The United States has been the land of opportunities where many people around the world have moved in order to change their standard of living. Since the independence of the United States, Americans have strongly believed their traditional values. Datesman, Crandall, and Kearny (2005) list perfectly the six American values, which are individual freedom, self-reliance, equality of opportunity, competition, material wealth and hard work (p.29). One of the most important traditional values that people have strongly believed is called equality of opportunities which means that everyone has a chance to succeed. In addition, by working hard, Americans had invented and created many technologies by the ends of 1890s. Hence, the early 1900s were the years of the industrial revolution. People had gotten rich overnight, and the unemployment rate was very low. Life was so beautiful, and many people achieved their American Dream. Some people Started having a bigger dream by buying some stocks in the many firms such as General Motors, General electric’s and Ford. However, late in the 1920s, the United States had had the biggest economic disaster that they had ever had. The stock market crashed; as a result, many people lost everything overnight, so people who were rich the day before would get poor the next days. Many people lost their jobs; therefore, the unemployment rates were very high. People wondered what happened and how they would overcome the problems. How could we explain that someone who was rich the day before would become poor the next day? There are several main causes and effects of the stock market crash of 1929 which led to the Great Depression.…

    Traditional Markets

    • 308 Words

    Traditional markets include wet markets and mom-and-pop shops. They are widespread throughout the territory. Traditional markets used to account for the lion’s share of food retail. For example, they occupied around 54% of total retail food sales between 1995 and 1997. Yet supermarkets sales have exceeded traditional markets sales since 1998, and the dominating trend of the former is likely to persist and deepen in the future. Despite the growing significance of supermarkets in terms of food retailing, traditional markets remain as key food retail outlets, particularly for seafood, meat and groceries. Wet markets in Hong Kong have changed gradually over the years. The newly built markets are built and managed by the Hong Kong government with air-conditioning, more hygienic and pleasant environment than the old ones. Some, but not all, stalls in wet markets have freezers and chilling equipment, which is necessary to maintain food quality.…

    “India lives in her villages”, a maxim attributed to Mahatma Gandhi, rings true when we see rural India retaining its old domination of the national population and economy in its 627000 villages, even after six decades of a development model that cherishes urbanization and industrialization. Close to 69% of Indians—743 million people or 138 million households—live in rural areas, generating 56% of the national income. With urban markets showing signs of saturation, companies are getting increasingly excited about the potential of rural India. But they're also finding it a tough nut to crack.…
