INTRODUCTION
In current days, there are many changes which are taking place in external environment,
so it is important to understand them in order to implement and act accordingly. In this report,
there is discussion about four different topic i.e. global identity, artificial intelligence, purpose of
business, the value of life. These are the topic which are related to contemporary themes of
society (Danely, 2015).
MAIN BODY
Global Identity
Global identity refers to the culture in which individual have identity in different
countries. This is the way through which they have knowledge about different culture, language,
trends, etc. According to Anjali Mishra, 2019 Ancient Greeks and Romans started calling
themselves as citizen of world or global citizen. This is the way through which they can be
identified in different countries. There are three main actors which has to e considered for
maintain global identity i.e. awareness, sense of responsibility for bettering the world and
participation. Global identity arise because of migration of people. There are different reasons
due to which people migrate from one place to another such as employment, education, etc.
there is no special restrictions in creating global identity. If some wants to create global
identity then they can with serving some basic requirements. It is important to accept difference
in culture, eating habits, etc. which have easy for individual to reside at new place. It is important
to understand changes which is specific and relevant to make good image in country. Some
times, there is group of people who migrates from one place to another make their own identity
at new place. This makes country full of different diversity.
Artificial Intelligence
According to B.J. Copeland, 2019 Artificial intelligence is the ability of computer system
or robot to accomplish operations with intelligent beings. This is implemented with intellectual
process of characteristic of human which helps to conduct regular activities on effective and
relevant manner. Hence artificial intelligence is the way through which machine has capabilities
to conduct operations like intelligent human being. There are four types of artificial intelligence:
Reactive machines- It is primary AI in which there is no past memory so it can not use
for future purpose.

Limited memory- This is AI in which information or data is stored for future use. This
makes easy to conduct same kind of activity again which saves time of storing information.
Theory of mind: This is the AI in which there is senses for social interaction as well. This
artificial intelligence understood the emotions, beliefs and thoughts of individuals. There is
requirement of some improvements in this type of AI so this is not completed yet.
Self awareness- In this artificial intelligence, there is ability of intelligence, self
awareness and salience so this works as human being.
Artificial intelligence is one of the major components which plays important role in day
to day like such as in retail store, medical line, hospitals, etc. this helps to reduce manual work
and perform operations with more effectiveness. Apart from it, artificial intelligence is used in
gaming, expert systems, Speech recognition, handwriting recognition, etc.
The Purpose of Business
According to Julia Kagan, 2018 purpose of business is an phrase which shows intention
of travelling out of country or town is to transact business. Purpose of business refers to the
reason for which individual is conducting specific set of operations. For instance: individual is
planning to manage a trip for the purpose of outing. So in this trip is planned in order to conduct
chill out and make trip happening.
There is difference in reasons for conducting activities. For instance: there are different
goals of individuals, so in this case it is important to analyse it and then take actions. For
instance: in individuals wants to do masters in hotel management, then motto is to open hotel
chain in Porsche area of UK in order to accomplish goal of life.
There are different types of organisations in industry having different purpose of
business. In case of private organisation, main motive to to earn profits, hence operations are
conducted in order to earn money. Public organisations works to provide some benefits to
society such as electricity, water, etc. in this case price is charged at nominal rate in order to
continue services and provide regular benefits to society. While voluntary organisations works to
improve condition of society such as cancer treatments, orphanages, old age homes, etc. There is
no feeds charged because motive is to serve society, hence donation is used in order to provide
them services.
It is important for individuals to understand reason behind conducting specific activities.
This helps to understand reason pursuing changes which are specific and relevant. In case there

is change in motto, then it is responsibility of candidate to understand it and then change in
operations (Falzon, 2016). For instance: private organisations are working for profits, so in this
case it is important to analyse demand of society and then alter product and services offered by
associations.
The Value of Life
Value of life refers to the way of deciding life insurance value of an individual. This an
be analysed with the help of income earned, life of service at work place, expenses done, etc.
With the help of these components it is easy to get life secured. It is important in current
environment to analyse value of life because future is insure and these days people are suffering
from different issues so in order to make security for future in context to family, relatives, etc. so
it is important to analyse value of life (Peterson, 2018). It is the way through appropriating or
depreciating value of pond can be analysed. This is the way which is important in current market
to analyse in order to overcome with issues. Value for life is not only measured in monetary
terms it can be measured in non monetary terms as well as such as loving ones, avoiding material
things, does not taking things as for-granted, follow god, don't stress with small things, etc.
CONCLUSION
From the above discussion, it is easy to understand about global identity which talks
about making identity in different countries. Artificial intelligence is the concept in which use of
computer system is done for conducting human activities. Reactive machines, Limited memory,
Theory of mind, Self awareness are different types of artificial intelligence which help to
conduct activities with perfection. Purpose of business is the motto for which different activities
are assemble for achieving specific goals. This is the main reason for which operations are
conducted. At last
