Messaging meltdown

Coping with infoglut

I would like to start by talking about the disadvantages of information overload, the effects are terrifying; mental disorder, fatigue and stress. The infoglut affect especially to senior-level executives.

The excesive quantity of information could be counterproductive due to the people confuse with the phone, fax, email, letters, cell phone and others.

On the other hand the people can get information in the exact moment, without the technology We couldn't communicate around the world and it would be very difficult to access to company information. I think that there are many form of communication where you can send and receive information inmediatily.

For example: email is faster, is ea

sy to use and is cheaper than other means of communication.

FAIR TRADES

OF CELEBRITIES, CHARITY AND TRADE

In my opinion the text is very interesting because show us that organizations and politicians pay to celebrities, so then they get an excellent image.

Many celebrities have charity´s foundations or Public Assistance and sometimes they adopt children, for example: Ricky Martin adopted a child, in the magazines or news we have seen and listened that He is altruist, loving, friendly and honorable; on the other hand in Internet was published: Ricky Martin is a sexual promiscuos and he raped two children; this news caused controversy around the world; even so the people buy his CD´s and go to the concerts.

Years ago Pepsi Cola increased their sales due to the advertisements where singers (Shakira, Britney Spears, Molotov and Ricky Martin) promoted the product. For this reason the company was very succesful in that moment.

I think that many organizations, celebrities and politicians need to create attention for become famous people and they know that will can get if the advertising media give good news about charity and Public Assistance in where they draw help and financial aid.

giVing rEaSoNS

1) We find easily music on Internet of favorite songs, so that the people download it.


2) Buy counterfeit brands of Clothes is cheaper than the original Brands, so there are many places like Tepito.

The reason why people buy counterfeit brands of clothes is the necessity (need) of status or prestige in the society.


3) Some people need to smoke that's why there are very nervous or probably because people want to feel that is important in a specific group, for example: Friends.


4) Learn English is essential in Trade Relations, so I'll can to do Business abroad and negotiate with productive countries u¡in the Globalisation world.

UNIT 10 COUNTERFEITING

EXPRESSIONS

1) We don't finish the project given the unreasonable deadline.

2) The manager's bonus weren't paid due to the wage cuts.

3) The reason why overtime started was the backlog.

4) The train strike, so many people absent today.

5) Late truck deliveries, due to icy road conditions.

6) Personnel can't arrived on time, therefore the meeting was cancelled for long hours.

MINI COOPER, TOYOTA AND FORD

TOYOTA IS CHEAPER THAN MINI COOPER, BUT FORD IS THE LEAST EXPENSIVE.

MINI COOPER IS THE MOST MODERN AND THE MOST LUXURIOUS.

TOYOTA AND MINI COOPER ARE MORE COLORFUL THAN FORD, BECAUSE THE COLORS ARE METALLICS (MORE BRILLIANT).

I THINK THAT FORD IS THE MOST COMFORTABLE, BECAUSE THE SEATS ARE SPACIOUS (WIDE).

MINI COOPER IS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE OR ADVENTUROUS PEOPLE THAT LIKE THEM THE ADRENALINE.

TOYOTA IS FOR PEOPLE THAT LIKE THEM BE IN FASHION. IT IS PRACTICAL AND THE DESIGN IS SOPHISTICATED.

IN MY OPINION FORD IS THE MOST ELEGANT, IT HAS EXCELLENT ENGINEERING, FOR THIS REASON OS MORE RELIABLE THAN OTHER CARS.

THE NEW GLOBAL SHIFT

THE NEXT ROUND OF GLOBALIZATION IS UNDER WAY. WHO WILL THE BIG WINNERS BE?

THE TEXT TALK ABOUT THE GLOBALIZATION IS VERY IMPORTANT AROUND THE WORLD, THE DEVELOPMENT OF MANY COUNTRIES DEPEND OF THE GLOBALIZATION, SINCE SOME COMPANIES TRANSFER OF MANUFACTURING JOBS, FOR EXAMPLE: INDIA THAT IS THE COUNTRY WITH IT OUTSOURCING, IN ADDITION INDIA NOWADAYS IS PRODUCTIVE AND ITS ESSENTIAL BECAUSE REDUCE AND IMPROVE THE ECONOMY AS THE HABITANTS AS THE COMPANIES.

IN MY OPINION, IF MEXICO INCREASED IT OUTSOURCING, THE COMPANIES WOULD BE MORE PRODUCTIVES AND EFFICIENTS.
