Globalisation
Globalisation is the process by which country remove their trade barriers so that they can
conduct free flow or goods and services with other countries. It is the way by which different
countries can increase their interaction. This principle have been applicable in year 1990 after
second world war. In simple words it can be said that it is integration of market in the
international economy. The motive of this concept is to removal of different barriers of
international trade such as tariff and non-tariff. Place where the global transaction takes place is
financial market which consist of money, capital, credit, infrastructure, commodity, insurance
market etc. There are several reason behind globalisation such as increase in transportation and
communication, rise in social media, increase in new electronic payment system, increase in
capital mobility etc. There are several advantages and disadvantages of globalisation. When it
comes to advantages then, globalisation helps the different counties to apply and take advantage
over the comparative principle (Reinert, 2017). Other than that it have increase the demand and
supply of different products and services. Organisations can able to access those supplies who
can provide raw material at cheap price or the supplier who are quality inventory. It has increase
in inward investment between countries, which has created benefits for recipient countries. It has
enhanced the relationship between the different countries. When it comes to the disadvantages
countries have adopted the system of dumping of products and services to different countries.
Other than that the companies which are less capable to compete with multinational organisation
have shut down their business. Employees who find advantage in different countries related to
employment have started moving different countries (Parayil, 2016.).
Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate social responsibility is the different activities which is conducted by the
different organisation in order to protect environment and other social operation. In simple words
it can be said that organisation assess and take responsibility for the company's effects on
environmental and social well-being. It has been founded that different organisations are
harming environment in terms of pollution, deforestation etc. They need to cope up that harm
with the different strategies such as use of recyclable products and services, forestation etc. the
venture have to invest their some percent of profit in implementing different strategies in order
to maintain their social responsibility. Corporate social policy functions as a self-regulatory
performance whereby an enterprise monitors and assure its active conformation with the spirit of
1

the law, ethical standards and national or international norms. There are several advantages and
disadvantages of corporate social responsibility (Suliman and Thomas, 2016). When it comes to
the advantages, it helps the venture to satisfy the needs and wants of the customers. When
different corporate social responsibility conduct by the venture, then customer will have positive
perception over the organisation. Other than that, it is the best tool for public relationship, it is
very significant for the venture to create good relationship with the public, when the organisation
conduct good activities for the public then they can create good relationship with them. When it
comes to the disadvantages of corporate social responsibility, organisation need to shift their
objective from profit making to social responsibility. Other than that when venture want to make
public relationship with the help of corporate social responsibility. If the venture do not find any
instant result in terms of public relationship then they fell these activities worthless (Steenkamp,
2017).
Immigration
It is the process by which people move towards that country where they do not have any
citizenship or their not natives of the country in order to settle in the other country for the
different purpose. In simple words it can be said that immigration is the way by which people
transfer to the international country in order to have permanent citizenship. The word have been
come from emigration which state that people leave their former country (Favell, 2016). There
are different purpose for which people move from one country to other, it can be for business,
family, education, enjoyment etc. when people move from one place to other for short visit then
that people are called and tourist but these people have purpose to access to have permanent
citizenship. In 2016, there are more than 300 million who have been moved from their country to
other for the purpose of citizenship. It can be said that more than 6% of the people have moved
from their native country and rest of them have been to their country only. There are several
advantages as well as disadvantages of being immigrate. When it comes to the advantages then it
helps the people to find the better employment opportunities in other counties. It helps the
people to fulfil their purpose when they stay for longer period (Geddes and Scholten, 2016).
Other than that disadvantages are they have to adopt the different culture, language, norms,
ethics, rules, regulation etc. of that country.

Law and the Individual
Law makes for order. Absence of law for disorder. Man in his individual life as well as in
his social life, needs order. Therefore, man needs law. There are two types of order that is
internal and external. Internal order is when the individual is not disabled. He or she conducts all
the activities with his or her perfection and he or she knows what decision are taken. External
order includes different laws which are related to individual such as law for self-fulfilment, law
of social man, Just and unjust laws etc. when it comes to the law for self-fulfilment, it states that
trust is the law of minds and when it comes to law of will, then it is goodness (Dau-Schmidt and
Covington, 2016). And if the individual gives the statement that I am free to think what I want
then he or she is breaching the law of mind. In simple words law and individual can be said that
every individual need to learn from its own experience. Experience can be real life or specific.
Law always interferes in the life of individual. There are different law which are made for the
individual, he or she need to implement it so that they can different experience (Chen and Law,
2016).
