Ethiopia has a growing economy, it has world class sports people; wonderful, unique world heritage sites like the rock hewn churches at Lalibela, but this year the harvests failed and 4.5 million of its people need food aid.

Immigration levels have damaged UK cohesion! According to Teresa May
Immigration levels have damaged UK cohesion! According to Teresa May
Mrs May pledged to reduce the numbers claiming in Britain while taking in the "most vulnerable" refugees from conflict zones around the world.
She also said high migration made a "cohesive society" impossible.
Her speech was criticised by business groups, with the Institute of Directors attacking its "irresponsible rhetoric".
Net migration into the UK currently stands at a record high, reaching 330,000 in the year to March.
The Home Secretary told the Conservative Party conference Britain "does not need" net migration at current levels, saying the net economic effect was "close to zero" at best.

Third Culture Kids
Third culture kid (TCK, 3CK) are a cultural group that have grown in size in an increasingly globalised world. Sometimes referred to as cultural chameleons or global nomads, TCKs are examples of people that are affected by the process of global diffusion and the way cultures can behybridised.
Where is home? A simple question for most may be a difficult question to answer if you are living in a third culture that is detached from a specific place.
International airports are places that are sometimes associated with TCKs.

cocacolonisation- in all but 2 countries.......
Coca Cola is only not available in 2 countries- Cuba and North Korea- over the years there have been issues- it has represented capitalism's spread around the globe- 'capitalism in a bottle'.
It is not sold in Cuba since a trade embargo was put in place against the Island in the 1962 when Fidel Castro became the countries leader. NK has had the same trade embargo since 1950.
The French coined the term- coca-colonisation, when some saw the drink as a threat to French culture. It has struggled in the Middle East (banned by Arab league 1968-91) due to being sold in Israel. It was never marketed in the Soviet Union as makers feared communists would take profits.
When the Berlin wall fell in 1991, Coca- cola was sold in bucket loads to those in the east- who had lived behind the iron curtain for years,
More recently the brand has been targeted because it is American- e.g. 2003- Thailand boycotts and people emptying bottles in streets in protest to the Iraq invasion. Sales were suspended.
The Venezuelan president Chavez has encouraged Venezuelans to drink local juices and Iran's president Ahmadinejad has tried to ban the drink.
