Presentation: Emerging Economies, Feminism, and Economic Concepts

This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of several key economic and social concepts. It begins by discussing the 'glass ceiling' and its historical context, then delves into feminism, outlining different types such as socialist, reformist, and radical feminism, and their impact on society. The presentation also explores the concept of emerging economies, focusing on the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), and their increasing attractiveness for foreign direct investment. It explains the risks associated with investing in these economies and emphasizes the importance of diversification. Furthermore, the presentation introduces the 'catch-up effect,' explaining how developing countries can achieve faster growth rates than developed countries and the factors influencing this phenomenon, including the role of foreign direct investment and technological advancements. The presentation highlights the impact of the catch-up effect on income levels and infrastructural development.

SPEECH

GLASS CEILING
Glass ceiling is perhaps the most widely
known and discussed phenomenon in
today’s world. It is a metaphorical term that
is commonly used to describe the unseen
barrier that divides a part of the population
from improving beyond a certain point.
Do anyone of you know when this term was
first used and where? Yes, it was first used
in the Wall Street Journal in 1986 by two
reporters.

Now, we all know that this is widely used in
the context of women who are high
achievers. In fact, it was a term first coined
by feminists.
In fact, all these women have been
exposed to problems of harassment, glass
ceilings and a huge list of gender based
problems. It is the virtue of staying honest
and true to the chosen path which has
driven these women continuously and
helped them in achieving what they all they
wanted to achieve.

Another thing that I think we all need to
earn and exercise everyday is the
distribution of our work by setting targets.
This can be done properly by setting a
proper time-table and framework. It is
equally important for them to be indifferent
to mentalities posed by others

FEMINISM
Feminism is the practice of advocacy of
rights of women based on grounds of
equality of the sexes. It is dependent on a
number of opinions, beliefs, practices and
stereotypes. There are actually many
perspectives related to this issue and it is
being addressed will increased concern
currently all over the world. This is
experienced and witnessed in various
aspects including political, economic and
social realms of life.

These situations have led to feminism
being addressed as a revolution slowly and
I don’t know if you are aware of this but
there are various types of feminism
depending on which various issues are
addressed related to the stereotyped
problems I just discussed.

Socialist feminism for example deals with
inequalities that exist in the social realm
and respect. It relates to the capitalist
issues and raises concern about the
question of women staying at home and
not being able to earn for themselves like
men are able to. This has been reduced to
substantial levels as we all know in today’s
world.

The next type of feminism is reformist
feminism in which the legislative aspects of
feminism are correlated along with
radicalism to actually bring about pragmatic
changes in the systems. It is mainly
concerned with bringing about changes
faced by the middle class women as well as
women in the lower realms of society who
are not exposed to enough opportunities so
that they can overcome the problems of
gender gap and achieve their dreams.

I think that it is the best form of feminism
because it is the type of feminism that
causes changes to happen. The last form of
feminism is radical feminism wherein,
problems related to the dominance of male
over female by using their physical or
psychological oppression happens.

EMERGING ECONOMIES
As we all know, we are gathered here to
discuss the concepts of emerging
economies. What do we understand by the
term emerging? It can be understood to be
gradually arising or improving , right? And
what are economies essentially?

The systems that run the livelihoods of
citizens and also en sure the running of
nations at large by generation of gross
domestic product (GDP) and revenue
generation. So now, if I have to answer I
posed earlier, emerging economies are
countries or nations that are more
developed than the developing countries
but are not as strong as developed
countries. Can you name some of the
emerging economies? The five largest
emerging economies in today’s world are
Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa

These are commonly known as the BRICS countries as
they are increasingly improving the situation in their
countries in terms of economy by increasing the amount
of globalisation the countries are essentially involved
with.
Hence, as you all can guess, that these countries are
increasingly becoming attractive in terms of areas of
foreign direct investment. This is for the obvious reason
that investing in these areas will cause huge amounts of
returns at correct times if the investments are done in a
scientific way and by that I mean after rigorous
research and analysis of the sector or the industry
where the investment is being done.
