Indigenous<span> cultures shaped, and were shaped by, the </span>geography<span> of North America. The first North Americans are believed to have </span>migrate<span>d from Siberia, in northeast Asia, by crossing a </span>land bridge<span> over the Bering Strait. These populations fanned out southward, to present-day Florida, California, Mexico, and Central America. </span>
<span>The Olmec and the Maya, indigenous to Central America, built the first cities on the continent, eventually leading to the great urban areas of Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan. These cities, in what is now central Mexico, boasted </span>sophisticated engineering<span> structures, such as </span>canal<span>s, apartment buildings, and </span>irrigation<span> systems. </span>
<span>Many of these early North American cultures were scientifically and agriculturally advanced. Mayan calendars and </span>almanac<span>s recorded </span>celestial<span>events such as </span>eclipse<span>s and </span>seasonal<span> changes. The Mayans were also mathematically advanced. Their counting system was able to represent very large numbers using only three symbols: dots, lines, and a football-shaped symbol that indicated a zero. The Mayans were, in fact, the first culture to have a written symbol for zero. </span>
<span>Cultures throughout southern North America harvested corn, squash, and beans in regular cycles. This sort of </span>agriculture<span> allowed major </span>civilization<span>s to develop. People were no longer bound to produce food and shelter for their families—some people could work in the food and construction industries while others became engineers, artists, and political leaders. Leading North American civilizations include the Maya and Aztec, in what is now Mexico, and the Iroquois, native to southeastern Canada and the northeastern United States. .................</span>
A company with limited resources and facing large competition in the market can excel and establish their business by properly training their human capital.
Human capital or workforce is the most important and priceless asset of any organisation. It is the human capital that makes or breaks a organisation. Proper training programs to the employees and encouraging them and giving other facilities will help the organisation to achieve success in business.
Human capital is the store house of skills and knowledge which can be used to used by the organisation to achieve its goal.
Thus the intangible asset of a company is -- "human capital".
Democracy is the rule of "demos" - people. However, it is not the case that all people want the same and that people can agree on what is important. Because of this, it is important that a compromise is reached in which everyone profits a bit : otherwise emocracy could "stall" due to conflicts (which is actually often the case in governments where the ruling party has only slight majority).
