It is said that technology is turning our world into a global village, and this is true to some extent but even now if we move from one city to another, one can feel the difference in language, culture, life style and many more.
In my case I moved thousand of miles from my country, Pakistan. The differences are unimaginable.
I was born in a very big house with 5 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 kitchens, big lawns in front and back, servant quarters and couple of servants serving my family. This wasn’t like this because we were filthy rich or millionaires. It simply portrays a middle class home in my country.
My grandmother was used to wake up before sunrise and opened all the windows and doors for fresh air, and for the voice of rooster. Then

Education system is still 50 years old; in short it is right when they say Pakistan is one of the developing country.
One day my history professor was describing a common households in 18 century, where women use to wash cloths by hands, clean carpets by beating them, cooking everything from scratch, only poor working women and girls from middle class waiting for their charming prince to come and take them to their new houses, and how they stayed all day home doing house chores. It seemed as if he was describing my home in my country.
Even though technology is bringing major changes but culture has a powerful influence on our daily life and not very easy for us to let that go.
When I moved to New York, it was like moving to an entirely different time. It seemed as I stepped into a time machine and ended up fifty years ahead.
I could never imagine this much liberty, freedom and equal rights for women. I realized that we have choices, dreams and can make our own rules to live. Undoable life becomes complicated and tiring, but physical fatigue is worth each and every minute of mental freedom. This whole thing gives prospect to my life.
Although I miss my servants a lot but on the other hand house chores aren’t that difficult as they are back home. Washing cloths, cooking, cleaning just a couple of buttons on a machine and bingo, done!
But still now, I would like to go back and spend my life in my country, and try my best to bring
I've learned and realized a key fact; there's more out there to know and experience than what I was always use to. Changes will always happen; it can either be good or bad; you can either learn from it or earn from it. I've lived in Guyana, South America with my family up until I was nineteen years old, then I moved to Miami, Florida with my eldest sister for college. Moving from one county to another was a significant change for me and if affected every aspect of my life. As I got acquainted with my new home and surroundings in Miami, I found myself reminiscing and comparing how differently I've lived in two countries in terms of; dependency and responsibility, characteristics of school, and freedom from dull routines.
Nobody really likes to move. At least, I know I don’t. We were living with my grandparents in Tashkent when I was in second grade. We moved into our house in Manhattan when I was about 9 years old. Life was going great. I had lots of good friends that I had been around for a lot. I really liked where we were living and I did not want to leave what I had always known.
Whether it is the past or the present, there have always been gender roles in society. In most homes, it is the woman’s responsibility to take care of the house. This includes cleaning, meal preparations, raising and taking care of the children as well as the husband. Compared to the men who take care of the more physical activities, such as yard work. It was known throughout many years that it was a woman’s responsibility to stay in the house while the man would go out and look for work to provide money for his family. Although the intensity of gender roles has changed, it still exists.
Have you ever had to try something new? Has it been hard? Well, when I moved to Greenbrier, Arkansas I went through hard times with doing new things. It was very difficult. If you have ever moved, you understand what I mean.
Aunts, uncles, grandparents, and other relatives moved into their own dwellings as the model for family became focused on a husband, wife, and their mutual children. Gender roles also changed. Women, who had enjoyed wartime jobs and a relative amount of independence while the men were away at war, were now encouraged to find their identity in caring for their families and homes. “The belief in family as the center of one’s life dictated that women accept their domestic role as the true expression of their womanhood (Larson 3).” Being a wife, and a mother, was all that a 1950s woman should desire. Women spent their days doting on their husbands and children, and doing housework. Despite the innovation of labor-saving appliances such as the washing machine or dishwasher, women spent more time doing chores than women of previous decades ever had. This was partially due to the increasingly demanding standards for cooking and cleaning, but also due to the recent lack of household help in 1950s homes. In the past, especially the Victorian era, many women had maids or nannies to lighten the burden of homemaking, but during the 50s housewives found themselves in charge of caring for both the family and the home (Larson
When I was about 11 years old I moved to Canton Michigan from Las Vegas Nevada. It was a dramatic change in my life. Not only is it quite a distance from Nevada. But there was also a different outcome that were made from the people to the weather and not being able to see my dad anymore.
A country analysis project must be analyzed in the context of its political, legal, economic, social, and cultural environments-the investment climate of the target country. Although sensitivity to particular factors varies from one project to another, all analyses are subject to the influence of some set of specific factors. Therefore a firm should raise three questions about a country's investment climate: (1) How the investment climate will be critical to the success of the project? (2) What is the present value of these critical issues? (3) How are these issues likely to change over the investment planning period? In making domestic investment decisions, firms should pay much attention to the relative
Moving states has changed a perspective on me and how I feel about myself. Before I moved to Las Vegas I was living in a small town in Mexico with barely something to eat. When my mom got offered a job thousands of miles away I wasn't very interested, the thought of living my family that can barely stay together was depressing and struggled for a lot for years.
In the 1800’s before the turn of the century it was male dominated world. Women were expected to marry and bear children. They were also supposed to stay home in order to tend to the domestic duties of cleaning, cooking, running errands and taking care of the children while the men went to work to make a weekly wage (Women, par. 2).
Back in Grenada where I grew up, there were limited options academically and financially. So my mom and I decided to move to the US. At the age of 13, I knew it would have been a tough transition. Whether it was academically or socially, adapting to the New York way of things was probably the toughest challenge I have endured.
The move to High Island was the one biggest thing that transformed my life. Moving is usually a dreadful thing, but for me it
Before, women were considered housewives who were in charge of taking care of children and cleaning the house while their husbands worked jobs to sustain their families. As years passed, many things have changed throughout society, including the responsibilities of both men and women. Today, women work and provide for their own family as much as men do. Throughout the years, many roles have changed, but one issue remains which is that most men do not consider house cleaning as a mandatory task. Gross believes that men lack the emotional and physical drive to do a “woman’s job”. Although today more men are contributing to their home chores, there are still many men who leave this to their wives or any woman in general. Men cook and watch for their children, but they do not bother with house cleaning. Most men feel like a clean house is not needed to have a healthy, safe environment for the family, which Gross does not agree with.

Indian workforce contributes to the development of both sending as well as receiving countries even though the contribution to sending country is significant. Development of significant level has been seen at the national as well as the micro level or household level in terms of household earning, food, health, housing and educational standards. This significant level of change also has been also seen at the community level (Kumar, Recent trend and Pattern of Indian Emigration to Gulf Countries: A Diaspora Perspective, 2016).
