In 2012, Google founder Sergy Brin announced that Google Self-Driving car will be available in the market in 2017. By just simply typing or speaking a location into your vehicle’s interface, it will automatically drive you to your destination while you are doing something else like reading a book or looking at your phone. Google’s target customers range from young adults to older generations. The project is undoubtedly innovative and attractive. When the Google self driving vehicle is formally introduced in the market in 2017, even people who don’t know how to drive can sit in the driver seat and experience the surprises that the vehicle brings. There will be a new revolutionary technology coming along with the adoption of the Google Self-Driving vehicle. It is estimated that hundreds of billions of dollars will be lost by automakers, suppliers, dealers, insurers, parking companies, and many other car-related enterprises. Government would also lose revenue from licensing fees, taxes and tolls. It is for sure that Google Self-Driving vehicle will convenient and bring much of fun to the general public, yet it will also impact the business significantly at the same time.

In the modern world we are living in now, almost everyone is advocating for gender equality. Now a question may be asked: does gender equality exist in the business world we are in? According to a recent research, women are increasingly entering the workforce, with participation rates rising from 50.2% to 51.8% since 1980. The data shows that the 21^st century has seen a dramatic shift in “traditional” family dynamics and greater recognition of gender in legislation has helped pull apart gender-role divisions. However, a gender wage gap and significant disparity between women and men in high-level corporate positions continue to be an issue. Detailed data presents that women earn between 70% and 90 % of what men do for comparable work; which means that men are still in a stronger position in the business world. Moreover, Facebook’s chief operating officer, Ms. Sandberg commented that, “Companies say that diversity is important, that they want more women in leadership. Our employees don’t believe that’s true.” From what has been listed above, human beings are working towards gender equality, yet it seems impossible that a complete gender equality can possibly exist.

GMO stands for genetically modified; GMO foods refer to foods that are cultivated with high technology and scientific methods. When it comes to the modern business world. GMO foods benefit consumers in several different ways. To begin with, genetic technology has great potential to produce food with high yields since it creates plants better resistant to pests and diseases. GMO foods can help eliminate the serious problem of starvation. According to recent researches, a child dies for every two seconds worldwide from food shortage. If more GMO foods are being produced, the number of deaths resulting from famine would be greatly decreased. Moreover, GMO foods offer more nutritional value and better flavour than traditionally planted  foods. Since engineers can use genetic technology to change the traits in the foods, the contents of a particular nutrition could be increased. People would benefit from acquiring more of the nutrition that is the most wanted. GMO foods also impact the business market significantly in some other ways. There is a power shift away from local organic farmers to biotechnology companies. These companies have gained too much control over the production of crops and foods and local farmers are strongly against the production of GMO foods. GMO foods have shaken the global food market and they have many controversies surrounding their potential effects on human health or the environment, as well as the local business markets.
