However, there are limits and restrictions to expansion that Natura had to realize. Several countries do not have a strong solidarity to Nature and environment and also do not have knowledge on Brazilian culture. The integration of the global economy will most certainly help to spread Natura’s Vision and support the companies undoing, but Natura constantly has to make sure if Values and
A drawback to the ‘unique’ design of the island could mean that beaches could have cloudy water due to insufficient water movement around the islands, as well as dredging of sea beds. This could turn people off living on the Palm and settle in a more natural beach place where the sea is clean. The concept of coral reefs being destroyed in order to build the island would also not be a fact seen in advertisement brochures. The overall biggest risk with building the Palm would be the Global Warming and rising sea levels which could drown the island. Nakheel has gone to some efforts to prevent this from occurring by building breakwaters but they would be no match for a vicious tsunami.
In order for Brazil to remain a major competitor they must continue to participate and be successful in global projects. Brazil will have a great challenge in their attempts to boost global influence while managing domestic issues. Their focused drive for international success will help effect the global economy in a positive way. Domestic Competition The Brazilian industry is planning investments for the domestic market.

TNCs can have a powerful influence on both local economies and international relations. They continue to play an important role in globalization. It can be seen that TNCs have grown globally due to the competitiveness of international economies and the way in which they can produce and trade cheaply and easily. Often TNCs such as Nike, Dyson and Tesco have their headquarters of their corporations in MEDCs, for example Nike’s headquarters are based in Oregon, USA. They reason for this is that they are based in areas where they can hire skilled and educated workers.
Its poor application has resulted into the pollution of the environment and it has also cause serious threat to our lives and society. This calls for proper use of technology. The biggest challenge facing people is to determine the type of future we need to have and then create relevant technologies which will simplify the way we do things. It is impossible to explore how each new advanced technology has impacted our lives and how it will impact the future. Technology impacts the environment, people and the society as a whole.
Ecotourism Concerns Tyler Gunderstreet San Francisco State University Here in the United States, we wouldn’t really think of tourism as a major dictator of our economy. Some might not even realize that tourism is an actual industry or consider it an industry of its own. Although for the countries that we’ve read about, being Kenya, Zanzibar, South Africa, and The Galapagos, tourism affects the lives of everyone in these countries day in and day out. Tourism itself can have substantial environmental, economic, and socio-cultural impacts on a country. Ecotourism on the other hand, which is being implemented by the foresaid nations, attempts to take advantage of the powerful tourism industry while being conscious of how it can negatively affect their environment.
A sustainable resource is a resource that can be replenished as fast as they are being consumed, cut down, or mined. The Amazon Rainforest once being cut down and destroyed cannot sustain itself or the natural habitat of the animals, plants, and natives in the area. Thus being the case simply because man in general as a whole has a bad habit of destroying habitats to such a degree it cannot replenish or return to its previous state. This is done in the name of progress and/or advancement, and the making of the almighty dollar, but at the price the
There were also old Egyptian structures that had to be carefully moved to avoid destruction from the new path of the river. These relocations sparked controversy and resistance from the Egyptian people due to the old structures being a large part of the tourist attraction in Egypt. Another big problem the Dam caused was with the soil around the river. Normally the soil was very good for farming, even with the annual floods, but the construction of the Dam caused the nutrients in the water to stop flowing to the soil. The result was poor farmland and in turn, the poverty of the farmers wasn’t completely solved.

Recycling Should Be Mandatory Non-biodegradable waste poses a great challenge to environment conservation efforts. This is simply because this kind of waste does not decompose naturally leaving profound effects on the environment. The lack of a proper disposal mechanism puts the world at a poor position in as far as environment conservation is concerned. This calls for government intervention through regulations to revamp the campaign for both the preservation and conservation of Mother Nature. Disposal techniques such as burning and using dumpsites only push the environment further down the drain (Logomasini, 1); since such waste disposal methods bring about environmental concerns as well.
