Advertising has damaged children to a large extent”. Justify this statement with solid reasons.

Advertisement has impact on children at both, positive and negative sides. But the negative impacts are followings. - Advertisement encourage children to persuade their parents to buy product shown in the commercial, whether it is useful or not. The little ones tend to get adamant, if they are not bought product. - Many advertisement in the present time include dangerous stunts which can perform only by experts. even though commercials broadcast warnings with the ad, but kids try to perform such kind of stunts at home, that may hurt them, - Junk foods such as pizza, burgers and soft drinks are heavily promoted during children TV viewing time.This develops a craving for fatty, sugary and fast food in kids.Thereby affecting their health adversely. Research has shown that junk food ads at TV, magazine, billboards influence children greatly leading an increased demand for junk food by children. when children watch young adults with good shape eating junk food in advertisement, they assume that is good for health. they do not know junk food is not good for health. Similarly candy advertisement, it heavily influenced to children, this result choose candy or snakes over fruits. They preferred candy rather than healthy food like fruits but in spite of that the power of advertisement cannot be ignored.
.............

“Advertising has damaged children to a large extent”. Justify this statement with solid reasons.
 
Answer: Here we are going to only elaborate that advertising damaging children to large extent. Advertise are in inherently or personally designed. So sometimes they are not safe for the viewer’s especially for children’s. Because sometimes we see in the ads of the motorcycles that young boys are promoting the motorcycle by racing or perform some kind of dangerous stuff with possession. Children’s with childish mind are trying to copy them and perform the same thing further which is very dangerous for their lives. Sometimes they force to parents to buy the useless things which are very expensive and they are not as well as useful for them. A sometimes public service ad also creates bad impact on the children’s. 

So at end I would like to say sometimes ads are inversely proportional to the utility of the goods or services being offered.

Mgt601 Assignment No. 1 solution

“SME Management (MGT601)”
Assignment No. 01 Marks: 20
“Women Entrepreneurs”

Answer the following questions:
Q#01
How do you see women entrepreneurs in Pakistani society - a developing nation; as wastage of efforts or a real push in the growth of economy? Discuss. NOTE: Read the reference article given in the “Download section.”

The article given here is for your assistance. You are advised to read it, comprehend it, clear your concepts and attempt the given question. You can also search and refer to other helping material according to your convenience rather than sticking to this particular article only.

solution:


In Pakistan, women entrepreneurs do not enjoy the same opportunities as men due to a number of deep-rooted discriminatory socio-cultural values and traditions. Furthermore, these restrictions can be observed within the support mechanisms that exist to assist such fledgling businesswomen. The economic potential of female entrepreneurs is not being realized as they suffer from a lack of access to capital, land, business premises, information technology, training and agency assistance. Inherent attitudes of a patriarchal society, that men are superior to women and that women are best suited to be homemakers, create formidable challenges. Women also receive little encouragement from some male family members, resulting in limited spatial mobility and a dearth of social capital.

The ILO research on women entrepreneurs in Pakistan has shown certain leak points gaps in the development of women entrepreneurs and has emphasized and recommend for actions needed to be taken in order to encourage and promote women entrepreneurship. The research shows that women has to face certain hurdles like gender discrimination, lack of safety, family and traditional restrictions, lack of access to education, market, business premises and other require tools for getting into and starting the business. Moreover there aren't any proper constitutional structures, policy documents, regulatory arrangements and institutional mechanism that can support or acknowledge women entrepreneurship in Pakistan.

However beside all the barriers and hurdles it is a please to note that Pakistani society is increasingly accepting businesswomen. Research has shown that 32% of women entrepreneurs believed that the general perception women in business had improved. Further certain organizations such as First Women’s Bank Limited (FWBL) are also established to cater solely to the financial needs of women entrepreneurs. Its mandate was to improve the socio-economic status of women in both urban and rural areas by creating opportunities for their development through enhanced economic participation. The research also shows that there are 47% of women entrepreneurs in textiles industry, 42% in private institutions and 27% of women are contributing in the half of the household income.

The research on government policies has shown that in order to involve women in productive economic activities, including exports, the Ministry is moving forward on a broad-based programmed in collaboration with the private sector. An Export Trade House and Display Centre each has been established at Lahore and Islamabad. Similar ventures are proposed at Karachi, Muzaffarabad and other major cities. To facilitate women entrepreneurs in their business activities both local and foreign, Business Centers in collaboration with the First Women Bank Limited (FWBL) have been established at Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi. Similar Centers are planned for Quetta, Peshawar and other major cities. These results show that efforts of women entrepreneurs are not of waste of time and they are contributing to push in the growth of economy. However these contributions can be made more significant, it is suggested that in order to foster development, multi-agency cooperation is required. The media, educational policy makers and government agencies could combine to provide women with improved access to business development services and facilitate local, regional and national networks. This would help integration of women entrepreneurs into the mainstream economy.

Question 2:

Illustrate the communication  mechanism between CPU (central processing unit) and GPU (graphic processing unit ).

Solution: 

Communication between CPU and GPU

 

Question 3:

Briefly describe the operation  performed before a fragment is written to the image buffer in GPU.

Solution:

The first fragmented operation perfumed and the only one that cannot be disabled is the pixel ownership test. The pixel owner ship test simply determines whether a fragmented lies in the region of the view port that is currently visible on the display. a possible reason that the pixel  ownership test fails is that another window is obscuring a portion of the viewport in this case fragments falling behind the obscuring  window are not drawn.


Next the scissor testis performed and application may specify a rectangle in the viewport called the scissor rectangle to which rendering g should be restricted any fragments falling  outside the scissor  rectangle are discarded a particular application of the scissor rectangle in the context of the stencil shadow algorithm is  in section

If the scissor test passed a fragment  undergoes the alpha test when fin al color of the a fragment is calculated and application   may also calculate an alpha value  that usually represents the degree of transparency associated with the fragment  the alpha test compares the final alpha value of the fragment to a constant value that is preset by the application the application specifies what relationship between the two values such as (less then greater than or equal to) causes the test to pass if the relationship is not satisfied then the fragment is discarded.

After alpha test passes a fragment moves on to the stencil test the stencil test reads the value stored in thee stencil buffer at a fragments location and compares it to a value previously specified by application. The stencil test passes only if a specific relation is satisfied eg the stencil value is equal to particular value  otherwise the stencil test fails, and the fragment is discarded and application is able to specify action to be taken in the stencil buffer when the stencil test passes or fail. Additionally if the stencil test passes the value in the stencil buffer may be affected in the way that depends on the result of the depth test (describe next) for instance an application may choose to increment the value in the stencil test passed and depth test fails. This functionality is used extensively by the shadow rendering technique.

The final test undergone by fragment is depth test. The depth test compares the final depth associated with a fragment to the value currently residing in the depth buffer. If the depth does not satisfy an application specified relationship with the value in the depth buffer then the fragment is discarded. Normally, the depth test is configured so that a fragment passes the depth the depth test only its depth is less than or equal to the value in the depth buffer. When the depth test passed the depth buffer is updated with the depth of the fragment to facilitate hidden surface removal for subsequently rendered primitives.

One pixel ownership test alpha test stencil test and depth test have all passed a fragment final color is blended on to the image buffer. The test have passed a fragments final color is blended in to the image buffer the blending operation calculates a new color by combining the fragments final and the color already stored in the image buffer at the fragments location.

The fragments alpha value and alpha value stored in the image buffer may also be used to determine the color that ultimately appears in the view port the blending operation may be configured to simply replace the previous color in the image buffer or it may produce special effects such as transparency.
