Hong Kong has been given the title of “world’s top city for
public transit”, according to a new study by consulting firm Oliver Wyman and
the University of California, Berkeley. The transport network of Hong Kong is
admired not only for being reasonable, but also because it has high station
density and a quite maintained railway infrastructure. The researchers say that
there is still some room for improvement and suggest the use of a smartphone

Famous figures often make it to the list of most well-known personalities worldwide. But even then, admirable personalities vary from country to country. And can even vary from city to city or one region to another. These preferences are based upon the people's personal choices, as well as how those personalities have affected or inspired the country as a whole. This is the case with any country in the world, even the United Kingdom.
There are a couple of notable personalities in the 2020 list. Although not all admired people from 2019 have made it to the 2020 list. One notable and prominent figure absent from the 2020 list is Prince Harry, who was amongst the most admired personalities in the UK but eventually lost his rank and inclusion in the list due to the recent disturbances in the royal family and the royal split.
Globalisation has brought along with it the need for diversity and sensitivity. There are many examples that can prove that being diverse and sensitive has now become more preferable than being ethnocentric. For instance, many employers seek a diverse skillset and even languages, when they're on the lookout to recruit new employees. But they also seek that the person has amazing soft skills, such as communication and empathy. Similarly, cultural sensitivity is being assured even on campuses, in schools, and in every discipline and profession that we can think of.
Nursing is one such profession where cultural sensitivity is being taken seriously. The nature of the profession demands the highest form of empathy for those looking forward to establishing a career in nursing. Now let's visualise the nursing landscape in the United States. As a country, the United States has citizens belonging to a multitude of religions, races and nationalities.
It may be hard for someone to think that trends related to funerals can also change. But nonetheless, it is a fact. There are a variety of customs, traditions and rituals that people tend to follow before bidding a final farewell to their beloved. These traditions vary from religion to religion, even within various sects, and can also differ from region to region, depending geographically on ancestors.
From all the countries in the world, let's focus on the Australian funeral trends at the moment. One of the trends that can be clearly seen in Australia is of people preferring cremation over burial. Cremation may sound like it is followed only by Hinduism where it is compulsory for the body to be cremated, but it is being followed as an independent choice by people belonging to other customs or religions as well.
