As defined by Daniel Quiroga, International Commercial Terms or rather Incoterms are voluntary 3-letter terms used in international and domestic contracts to specify how goods are to be delivered and to avoid misunderstandings by clearly identifying the responsibilities of the buyer and seller. DHL benefit a lot from Incoterms since they were developed as a set of standards for international deliveries in order to make international trade more efficient. At DHL, when it comes to the delivery of goods from the seller to the buyer, Incoterms® determine the rights and responsibilities of the parties.

There has been a great debate on the relationship between social class and crime in criminology. Crime mostly being related to individuals at low-class lifestyle and justice being distributed unfairly is a phenomenon that has caused significant conflict from different views. There is an assumption of a low-class lifestyle being inherently criminogenic. It is assumed that crime was mainly a lower-class phenomenon (Hagan, J., & Peterson, R. D. 1995). Individuals from low-class lifestyles are most likely to get convicted for crimes. In the United States, most prisoners end up being unemployed and earning less compared to the general population in America.

As a geographic unit of aggregation, the community can range from small (a family's apartment building, for example) to large (the county in which the apartment building is located). As such, community capacity may need to be tapped in varying amounts throughout a family's lifetime (Bowen et al., 2000). For instance, parents with children in the early and middle adolescent years could find that a neighborhood with high community capacity can be a particularly valuable asset - a developmental period when children spend fewer hours at home and more of their time in the community.

"Find Me Unafraid" is the story of two young people from two completely different backgrounds: Kennedy Odede is from Kibera, Africa, and Jessica Posner was born in Denver, Colorado. Kennedy lived on the street foraging for food and learning how to read from old newspapers. A young Kennedy was introduced to the works of Mandela, Garvey, and King by an American volunteer, and the works of these men transformed him. Kennedy started the youth empowerment group Shining Hope for Communities (SHOFCO) using a soccer ball he bought. During her 2007 semester abroad, Jessica Posner, an undergraduate student at Wesleyan, worked with SHOFFCO in Kenya. She fell in love with Kennedy when she decided to live in Kibera against all conventions.

Operation Anaconda was the first large-scale battle of the war for Sustaining Independence, which involved special operations forces and international allies. Kugler (2007), however, claims that such forces collaborated in 2002 in Afghanistan's Shahi Kotvally. During the battle, the troops had to deal with too many variables in a harsh mountainous landscape. The troops encountered numerous obstacles in addition to the rugged terrain, which led to the failure of the operation. As Operation Anaconda is often used to demonstrate the value of seven-state leadership principles, this article uses Operation Anaconda as a case study to examine the principles.

Reflective practice is at the core of social work education and practice, and it is of particular importance for newly qualified social workers or social workers working in placement settings (Staempfli & Fairtlough, 2018). However, when it comes to actual practice, reflection is a far more complex concept. As such, social workers must have the confidence to challenge their own practice, the organization they work for, and dominant power structures in society as a whole (Butler et al., 2007). A critical reflective practice, which is part of reflective practice, enables social workers to rethink and reconstruct dominant social discourses.

Campus climate has been a major issue concerning Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) students in the U.S. There have been reports from LGBTQ students that the climate-their feelings of belonging, safety, and inclusion-in college is better than the one they experienced in high school (Kristen). Also, there is evidence that overall, campus climate has improved over the last 15 years. Other than LGBTQ issues with another diversity-related programming on campus, there is several specific programming that can increase inclusion and improve campus climate.

Cultural capital is a factor that enables people or students to learn to coexist in a group. It refers to the student’s level of knowledge of social and cultural factors that help them fit in a specific group of people. It plays a significant role in students’ educational attainment. It can either hinder or enhance a student’s level of educational attainment. I have learned that families with more income can provide more cultural capital to their children. According to the course materials, the level of parental education determines the degree of cultural capital passed to children.

There are several stages of human development. They include infancy, followed by childhood, then adolescence, and the last stage is adulthood. The study will critically analyze the different stages of development I underwent by presenting relevant literature and theories to aid in the analysis. The development stages are explained as follows; 1. Infancy Stage It is a stage that extends from birth to 18 months of age. During this stage, I came into a new environment and required nourishment from my mother. It is a stage characterized by trust and mistrust (Hannush, 2021). Therefore, I needed to be taken care of well lest I develop mistrust, which could have negatively impacted my later stages of life.

Diabetes-related mortality and morbidity have continued affecting both racial and ethnic minorities. Diabetes-related mortality morbidity is double higher when compared to the whites who are non-Hispanic. When a comparison is made among those, 12.6% of African American adults have been affected with diabetes than all the non-Hispanic whites, which comprises 7.1% of non-Hispanic whites (Berkowitz et al., 2015). As a result, minorities seek healthcare services due to diabetes-related diseases, mostly diabetes retinopathy, end-stage renal disease, and lower extremity amputations. Nonetheless, for the challenges contributing to various health disparities between minor ethnic and racial groups effectively, the formulation of different interventions should be done using multifactorial approaches, i.e., healthcare policies.

Globalization is not as easy as domestic marketing. Domestic firms are seeking to go international face several challenges because the dynamic global markets pose several uncertainties and problems.

However, there is a difference in the ways consumers perceive corporate images and store images.
