“The young may learn from their elders; and the old may learn from the young. To What extent and how is this true on Moses Aaron’s ‘Elijah Greenface’ and Clint Eastwood’s ‘Gran Torino’?

This may be because of the technological advance handed to the newer generations, which has highly influenced a new way of living. Now it is the young leading the way, embracing and learning the benefits of the computer age, however the elderly can still guide the young, learning about life values and experiences.

During the last decade, the Internet enriched our social lives and our civic connections. People use e-mail, on-line chat rooms and instant messages to communicate with each other. Even adolescents can use the Internet as the same as the older people. But, heavy use of the Net can bring some bad consequences to the adolescents more than what they do on adults. Brent Staples, in “What Adolescents Miss When We Let Them Grow Up in Cyberspace” (2004) pointed out the consequences of adolescents cruising the Net.
Teenagers adapt to their surroundings in order to live, and in a non conventional sense, reproduce. The adaptations they have to make are a little different, however in a sense, it does include shedding one's skin and growing a new, possibly tougher one. High school students have to adapt to socially constructed levels; height, sexuality, weight, grades, social life, socio-economic standards, the list goes on. In essence, they survive by changing themselves, whether for better or for worse.

As a consequence, the need to develop skills to manipulate such devices and to know how to integrate them in a suitable form has emerged. This literature review explores research articles in order to identify digital literacy practices in college.
At a United Nations Summit recently, global trade was hailed as the reason certain newly industrialized countries such as China has become so forthright and dominant in their advances both economic and social, the following report read, ‘In recent decades, a number of developing countries, most notably the East Asian newly industrializing countries, have been able to purposefully use the elemental force of trade to boost growth and development within a relatively short time span.’ (Puri 2005 cited in UNCTAD 2005 report p.22) But this boost in International Trade has not been without its complications and challenges. With increased competition and the laws behind international trade becoming stricter year by year countries who have only recently found a foothold in the world trading community, are struggling to compete with the more economically developed countries, and are finding their trade links cheapened or cut off completely by the wave of competitors, all trying to stay ahead in these economically turbulent times. This report aims to analyse key trade and development issues facing developing countries today, but also expose the opportunities these countries
One looks at the Industrial Revolution that started in the 19th century in Europe and eventually spread to the rest of the world. Carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases that have been released from factories, cars and other human activities from that period to today have resulted in increased global warming that has altered climate patterns. Rogers and Evans (2011) state that when one looks at emissions of carbon dioxide per capita, America still ranks at number one with 18 tonnes per person and China only stands at 6 tonnes per person, however China ranks at number one collectively due to large scale population and heightened economic growth, emitting 171% more carbon dioxide since 2000. Climate change has seen many parts of the world receiving increased rainfalls that result in flooding and other areas receiving little to no rainfall resulting in
