Asked by Richard - Thu Sep 6 02:35:59 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The definition of a minority is technically the historically disadvantaged. In America, for example, African-Americans were brought here into slavery and as a result many of them remain in inner cities -- uneducated, poor, and on the streets. Many Hispanic people are the same way too... particularly because of the immigration laws we have. And Native Americans have been pushed onto reservations and kept there ever since the white men came to the USA. So these people are given special consideration for this reason. For people like us Asians and Indians who are known to do well and educate ourselves, they don't give us special consideration because we have a historical record of doing well.

How can East Asia help stop child trafficking and increase wages for laborers while still being a powerhouse?
Q. East Asia is an economic powerhouse when it somes to global trade, but their techniques in gaining this is terrible. They use child trafficking, which takes kids away from their homes to be laborers. The laborers don't earn enough money when they're carrying the country's future. Without them, they would really be nothing. So how do you stop child trafficking, increase wages, while still keeping the countries afloat?

How will a United States economic collapse affect Asia?
Q. Apparently, from what I've heard the United States is headed for an economic collapse. What I want to know is how will an Economic Collapse affect Asia? According to Peter Schiff, Asian currency will rise as the US dollar falls. China is looking to be a world economic leader and would lead Asia. Also billionaire Jim Rogers has moved to Singapore and said that China is going to grow. Do any of you feel that any of this is true? What I want to know is how will Asia do if the United States collapses economically?

A. First of all, the US economy is not going to collapse. It's not even clear we're in a recession. The great depression was exacerbated by a fledgling fed that did exactly the opposite of what they should have done. That is, they took liquidity out of the system rather than adding it. Regarding your question, a collapse of the largest economy in the world (we are four, some think five times larger than China in GDP) would send the entire world into a depression. Since we would presumably default on our treasury bonds, of which China and Japan hold the most in the world, countries who hold our bonds as foreign reserves would experience a crisis of liquidity. Also, their export markets would dry up overnight and there would be a run on their… [cont.]

A. Make sure the backpack is water-proof and well insulated. It is really important that it has a pocket for a water bottle. Make sure the straps have some padding if you are going to be carrying it around a fair amount. *And as an added tip for the contents, make sure you always carry a role of toilet paper and a bottle of Purel with you wherever you go.

Is it cheaper to book flights in Asia directly in the airlines' ticket offices or on their websites?
Q. Especially for last minute tickets, is it better (and price-wise also) to book in the ticketing office of the airline itself (when you are already in Asia, for example the ticketing offices or booths in airports) or on their website?
Asked by Justine - Tue Aug 14 11:21:48 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I live in Asia and you never know for sure, it wouldn't hurt to check the website before you buy at a ticket office. It depends on the airline, where you're going and the seat availability on the particular flight you want. For most of the budget airlines here, you can buy a last minute ticket for a pretty good fare, and some of the major airlines also will discount fares when they know the flight won't be full for last-minute travel. But like almost everywhere, advance purchase is usally the best way to go.

Asked by Psych Lapse - Sun Nov 9 10:44:18 2008 - - 7 Answers - 1 Comments

A. All geologists and a lot of (most? all?) geographers don't recognize Europe as a separate continent, but a cultural region of the Eurasian continent. Having the Urals as a boundary is meaningless and arbitrary. Let's call California a separate continent. The Sierra Nevada separates the continent of California from North America. Mountains don't separate continents, tectonic plates do. Europe and Asia are on one plate, the Eurasian Plate.
