Terrorism
Definition of Terrorism
Fernando Reinares (cited on p.120) distinguishes three traits that define terrorism for the
disproportionate emotional reactions such as fear and anxiety which are likely to influence
attitudes and behavior. Secondly, the violence is systemic and rather unpredictable and is
usually directed against symbolic targets. Thirdly, the violence conveys messages and threats

One Recommendation
The Australian government can develop new national counter-terrorism approach that will
create the basis of TSL industry in long-term and for both nationally with internationally. The
key purpose of this strategy is to generate a clear structure for the work required to struggle
with terrorist crime. This strategy focuses on the significance of cooperation and clears

Potential Opportunity
Avoiding inequality may provide the opportunity to TSL industry for acquiring and retaining
new proficient workforces. In addition, training plays a significant role to get equal
opportunity and helps to treat women and men equally in the TSL industry. TSL industry can
grab the opportunity in terms of growth and development because the equal environment will
motivate the people to participate in each activity of TSL industry. This opportunity could be
grabbed by overcoming the cultural issues and economic issues to apprenticeships and by
providing the equal access to customers in TSL industry (Kluegel, and Smith, 2017).
Suggestion
TSL industry should organize the social programmes for avoiding inequality among
tourism, sports and leisure activities. Income transfer program could be beneficial in case of
targeting TSL activities and making sure the people to avoid the wider limitation in visiting
people geographically and conducting the survey whether people suffer from inequality in
TSL industry of Australia. This survey should provide the opportunity to each participant to
Globalisation
Definition of Globalisation
imposed upon us by powerful groups and an even worse one that we have imposed upon
ourselves, often despairingly. It is a discourse that leads us to ignore the real issues before us,
and to misunderstand the historical crisis within which we find ourselves. We do indeed stand
at a moment of transformation. But this is not that of an already established, newly globalized
world with clear rules. Rather we are located in age of transition, transition not merely of a

few backward countries that need to catch up with the spirit of globalization, but a transition
in which the entire capitalist world-system will be transformed into something else. The
future, far from being inevitable and one to which there is no alternative, is being determined
in this transition that has an extremely uncertain outcome”. (Wright, 2016, p. 250)

Potential Opportunity
Globalization will have provided the opportunity for employees in the TSL sector as
compared with a loss of a job because of gaining the private companies. There are several
corporations in TSL sectors that are insecure in terms of paying higher as compared with
wages in TSL industry. It improves the earnings together with employment in developing

workers from different backgrounds may face complexity to connect with each other (Wright,
2016). Moreover, cultural competency training is now required so, workforces would enable
to effectively and efficiently work with the different culture in TSL industry. It should also
ensure that corporation is open-minded and appreciates different perspectives about best
working atmosphere for companywide growth. Thus, cross-cultural training is one of the
fastest and effective methods in globalisation that provides backing to TSL industry (Coker,
2014).

Potential opportunity
Internet and social media will provide the opportunity to explore the more places and aids to
influence the customers in TSL industry. Social media will influence the customers towards
the business and offers the marketers a new set of technique for interacting with the
customers and combined them into the brand via innovative channels. Furthermore,
marketers have to comprehend how the social will persuade the consumer buying behaviour.
Social media marketing creates the visible brand, gaining the ability of customers to address
the data regarding company and how often they encounter the brand (Gerbaudo, 2018).
Consumers, who share, follow and regularly post on internet and social media about the
tourism, sports and leisure can provide the opportunity to this industry to obtain higher
growth. This can also gain the web traffic for company logically with consistently via loyalty
Recommendation
It is stated that conventional online advertising modifies because customers click via several
web pages. Furthermore, advertisements are not searchable. When a customer closes one
window and returns to another one with the intention of finding ads they want to saw, then it
may change their attitude towards brand in TSL industry. The key opportunity for a company

that deals in TSL industry is to provide marketing via social media. It may create stability
For instance, when a customer focuses on the product while scrolling the facebook feed and,
does not think more about it at the period, but they can later access the social feed and search
on the page of the company to find the data gain in case they want to buy it. Along with this,
when a customer does not search more about the brand through online then they follow the
company on the social feed. They will search what a company shares about product and
Climate change
Climate and climate change are nontrivial and contentious, as also expressed by Todorov
(1986, 259): The question of climatic change is perhaps the most complex and controversial
in the entire science of meteorology. No strict criteria exist on how many dry years should
occur to justify the use of the words “climatic change”. There is no unanimous opinion and
agreement among climatologists on the concept of the term climate, let alone climatic

Recommendation
It can be recommended that TSL industry should raise the awareness regarding the healthcare
system about risk climate change positions and gains the volume of TSL employees to better
organizing these impacts. TSL industry should strengthen their competencies for declining
the incidence of vector and water disease such as Malaria and Cholera. This could become
