Unlike commercial industries, which tend to be large in scale, cottage industries tend to be small in scale. Cottage industries are often based out of a single home, and they may have only one or two employees. In cottage industries, a worker often makes a product from start to finish. Examples of cottage industries include homemade textiles and jewelry.
The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is an agency within the United Nations that is responsible for promoting peace, social justice, human rights and international security through international cooperation on educational, science and cultural programs.
UNESCO has been at the centre of controversy, particularly in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Singapore. During the 1970s and 1980s, UNESCO's support for a New World Information Order and its MacBride report calling for democratization of the media and a more egalitarian access to information was condemned in these countries as attempts to destroy the freedom of the press.
