Jainism emerges from the 6th century and is classical to understand jainism we must go back to the period of the sramana movement.

Communication skill is the vital for all aspects of our lives; from personal to professional, our lives function because of it. The way someone communicates could entirely differ from the other. But communication is really just a way of establishing relationships. Communication is not only an exchange of words. But at the same time the body is also saying a lot more than the words. Our gestures, hand movements do a lot of the talking for ourselves. This gets a whole lot complex when the interaction is among a diverse community. With different cultural backgrounds, different beliefs and perspectives, the message can be hard to interpret and/or examined. In order to have a positive impact of all the communications and interactions we might have with an individual possessing a different mind-set and culture. We must champion progressive thinking; to listen thoughtfully, debate tolerantly, to freely voice their ideas, and to let others voice theirs and avoid any seeming judgement. John Dewey a pragmatic philosopher and professor at University of Chicago was also a firm believer in progressive thinking mainly influenced by the political times he was living in(WWII). As a communication professional he realized the importance of understanding the reasons behind growing prejudice and hate among certain social groups, and the changes in attitudes and beliefs. (Julia T. Wood; Communication Mosaics; Text. Chapter 2; pg 27)In todayâs diverse world; progression is up another level; awareness of individual differences is extremely important to have an effective communication. This will enable people to have a deeper connection with people who differ from them in some way or the other. Not only will this help in creating relations but also bridging gaps and solving problems that might occur along the way in our lives.

The microeconomic market structure I would like my business to be in is a monopoly in the utility industry. Using this business model to make the most amount of money, over a long period of time, without regard to service, quality, or competition could be interesting. Creating a company that could produce residual income with little effort is very appealing to the owner or its shareholders. Economies of scale will help the consumer save money when adjustments to internal costs are decreased. Once a monopoly was established you as a business owner could enjoy the benefits of no competition, depending on the product you may be able to compete internationally. The downside for consumers is with the limiting of competition there could be a limit on innovation and this could affect quality for the consumer. Depending on where an individual is in their life they may be in business to strictly make money with little regard for everyone else, if this is the case then a monopoly is the right type of business to have.

It is important to note that individuals enter business for different reason all are generally to make money but some individuals do it for other reasons as well. They may start a business in a rural area as a farmer and due to the fact that they sell fruit or vegetables would find themselves in a perfect competition market structure. This market is fairly easy to enter, there is lots of competition and the products are identical to each other between competitors. Others may start a restaurant business because they like food, they like providing and making people happy and they like the day to day interactions with people. This business is just fine and would fit into the monopolistic competition structure. This business is different from the monopoly structured business because it doesn't run itself, there is lots of competition, quality & price must always be considered, and if customers are not happy they can choose a different option.

I need a peer reply for this discussion of at least 200 words.
