Proposed Thesis Title: The impact of Globalisation to the Development of Livelihood Programs in Rajasthan, India

Introduction
More often, the term globalisation is being perceived by these challenges.  Globalisation, has acquired considerable emotive force. Globalisation has its own meaning from different individuals.  For some, globalisation is a process that is beneficial, i.e. a key to the future world economic development and also inevitable and irreversible.  Others regard it with hospitality even fear, believing that it increases inequality within and between nations or organisations, threatens employment and living standards and thwarts social progress.  Globalisation has its own style of offering extensive opportunities for truly worldwide development but it can be seen that it s not progressing evenly.  Some nations or organisations are becoming integrated into the global economy faster than the others. Nations or organisations that have been able to integrate are seeing advance growth and reduced poverty. With the undying influence of globalisation to the world, there are many organisations that are striving to adjust with these influences. Thus this paper will tackle about globalisation, its benefits and costs, the key challenges that it posed to the development of livelihood projects in Rajasthan, India.

Statement of the Problem
Generally, the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of globalisation on the development of livelihood projects in Rajasthan, India. This study tries to answer the following queries:
  1. With reference to globalization effort of the government of India, do the development of livelihood projects in Rajasthan, India are affected?
  2. What are the variables that significantly affect the perception of the respondents regarding globalisation on the development of livelihood projects in Rajasthan, India?
  3. Does globalisation significantly affect the progress of livelihood projects in Rajasthan, India?
  4. What are the recommended solutions to the problems emerging in livelihood projects at Rajasthan, India in accordance to globalisation process?

Hypothesis of the Study
Based on the research questions the research project works out on the following null hypotheses:
1.            Globalisation has no significant effect to the progress and development of livelihood projects in Rajasthan, India.
2.            Respondents’ perception regarding globalisation has no significant relationship to the development of livelihood projects in Rajasthan, India.


Significance of the Study
Globalisation has basically collected a series of appraisals and criticisms from professionals in different fields. However, the most widely debated issue is the debate on whether globalisation is being used as a weapon of advertisement to dominate the weaker culture. For years, America’s aggressive advertisements have been criticised dictating the trend and behaviour of its recipients. Levitt (1993) predicted years ago the convergence of consumer tastes all over the globe, thus creating global markets for standardised products on a previously unimagined scale. This prediction gave the way for the recognition of the globalisation of advertising on a larger scale. As Domzal and Kernan (1993) said: “Prompted largely by Levitt's (1993) provocative paper, the past ten years have been witness to a lively debate - in both academic and corporate circles - concerning global advertising.”            
This study will provide information to business leaders regarding the effect of globalisation.  Knowing how the perceptions of the respondents regarding globalisation in the development of livelihood projects in India will assist business leaders and rural developer in establishing programs, policies, and development.

Methodology
This paper will be based on qualitative research method. There are factors which stand to achieve from the use of qualitative research inquisition. Basically, researchers gain not only because of increased ease of use to pre-existing viewpoint and the contextually responsive nature of methodologies such as life history, but also for the reason that qualitative research methodology helps researchers address the "singularity of values" so ubiquitous in past research efforts and understand the nature of "intercontextual work (Saunders, Lewis, & Thornhill,  2003).

The analysis on the external and internal environment of Primark retailing industry

Introduction The omnipresence of global trends and innovations debunk the idea of business monopoly and empire states. Today, the trends are set to maximize the potential of human powers by trivializing simple phenomena in order to fashion complex and subtle effects. In the minds of prominent sociologists and philosophers these trivialization of occurrences brought about by man's deepest desire of uncovering the truth and meaning of life. However, our correspondence and connection with the truth is indirect and diluted which can only be accessible via representations and constructs. Hence, the necessity, though, not necessarily is, of excavating the truth embedded on phenomena became an ordinary human laborious pursuit. Moreover, due to rapid changes on various aspects of human life our reactions vary depending on the way we perceive it, while forming effective and efficient mechanisms become a mechanical elocutionary act. This fact is paralleled with the nature and condition of b

Health Impacts of Air Pollution from Motor Vehicles: An Empirical Study of Sydney Research Proposal

    1.0   Background of the Study An average person inhales about 20, 000 liters of air everyday, exposing to risk of dangerous chemicals in air each time human breathe. Air pollution contains contaminants in the atmosphere and these dangerous substances could be either in the form of gases or particles. Air pollution has diverse and numerous effects. It can have serious consequences for the health as well as severely affect the natural ecosystems. Today, some areas suffer more than others from air pollution. Two of the main reasons are the large numbers of automobiles and/or the utilisation of coal in great quantities (Think Quest).Seemingly, motor vehicle-related air pollution is an inescapable reality for urban settlers. In Sydney, for instance, motor vehicles is one of major source of toxic and carcinogenic air pollutants as motor vehicles contribute approximately 80% of nitrogen oxide to the atmosphere. Further, the two prime pollution problems in Sydney are photochemical smo
