Store policies.

Image
     Store policies.  My job does not provide me with a set schedule because it varies every week. Most days, though, I get up at 6:00 a.m. to get dressed and drive my younger sister to high school. Later, I either return home or drive straight to work. I return home after my 8-hour shift to rest a little before preparing dinner. I work in customer service, therefore I have to deal with and obey a lot of strange shop regulations. For example, if a customer has the receipt and the product, I can't refuse a refund, even if the item is a dead plant or a three-year-old light bulb. I'm new to this job, and despite my training, there were still things I didn't know. For instance, a few weeks ago, I was requested to work in the garden section. However, before I could change, I had to tell a few employees that the shop had possible thieves. Unfortunately, they had already stolen $1,000 worth of stuff when I arrived in the garde...

Mexico City

Image
  Mexico City is the most urbanized city in Mexico and, as a result, the most polluted city in the country. Urban regions are a major source of CO2 emissions and are also the locations that consume the most energy. The Mexican government is currently having an agreement with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to develop financially viable projects such as a solar energy project in the city's largest market, an examination of alternative waste management technologies, assistance with the development of the Integrated Public Transportation System, and energy efficiency projects (González, 2019). Agents of the government, multilateral development institutions, and the private sector have all been encouraged to provide more assistance to the government in order to help combat climate change while creating more possibilities for economic growth. Because of this, I think Mexico City is a great example of top-down politics. Even while they work to alleviate the horrible effects o...

Democracy in Colombia and Canada

Image
                         Democracy in Colombia and Canada  Colombian elections are won by popular vote; a candidate for president must receive 50% plus one vote. If any of the candidates wins the popular vote, a second election will be held with the two most popular candidates, with the winner being the one who receives the most votes. The Canadian elections, on the other hand, are unique in that they are held by popular vote and that all candidates are entitled to compete for president. Candidates who lose in one province can still win if they win in another, increasing voter turnout and ensuring that candidates for president are represented in all provinces. This data is based on the March 31 CNC polling. Sample size as follows: Antioquia and Eje Cafetero (708), Bogotá (439), Caribbean (1,017), Pacific (663), Center-East (887), and Center-South (492)   T...

Spain and US Inmigartion.

Image
    African immigrants in the Ceuta border. May 18, 2021   Spain and US Inmigartion.  Spain has become a target country for immigrants from Latin America and Africa. Since 2015, the flow of migrants has increased significantly, with Colombians (7.5%) and Moroccans (8.8%) having the highest percentages. Nonetheless, African migrants are now coming in large numbers to the coastal city of Ceuta. In the past year, in the first week of March, 8,000 immigrants from Morroco arrived by swimming in the Spanish territory that is connected to Africa. Most of them were sent back to Morroco because of an agreement between the countries. In the United States, the immigration crisis only worsens with the massive arrival of people, mostly from Central America. Although US Customs and Border Protection encountered 1,734,686 immigrants in 2021, the number of encounters this year is the highest in three years. The immigration cr...

International Women’s Day

Image
  DoD Celebrates International Women’s Day, Advances in Gender Equity and Equality The United States Department of Defense commemorated all of its achievements in terms of gender equality in various areas of the department on International Women's Day. Dr. Kathleen H. Hicks, Deputy Secretary of Defense, explains her opinions about the efforts made for women in the profession in the article.“Our work on women, peace, and security is critical not just for U.S. national security, but equally importantly, for the safety, equality, and opportunity of women and girls around the world. We are proud to join the international community in recognizing the achievements of women around the world.”  The department's implementation roadmap was presented last year by the Independent Review Commission on Sexual Assault in the Military (IRC). Given the assassination of Vanessa Guillén on April 22, 2020, this is critical for the Department of Defense. Vanessa had reported being a victim of sexu...

Incirlik Air Base in Incirlik, Turkey

Image
  Incirlik Air Base in Incirlik, Turkey Incirlik Air Post is a large US military base with a strategic location. Because the facility is in Turkey, it is operated jointly by the US and the Turkish governments. The construction of the building began in 1951. Throughout history, the base has played a significant role. Because of its proximity to Russia, it was a crucial location for the US administration. At the same time, the location proved suitable for dealing with Middle East crises in nations such as Israel and Lebanon. The United States government does not consider Turkey to be a secure country, owing to its huge Muslim population. Because there are 750 homes in the area, there is a finite amount of space. The majority of soldiers are automatically hosted, with no need for applications or anything. The purpose of these bases, according to the hegemony cycles, would be to propagate its liberal ideals, and as a true hegemonic state have an impact in the politics and economy of th...
