Amidst increasing globalization of markets and industries, it is natural for custodians of free-market distortions, to scrutinize not just companies at home country, but also foreign ones.

These regulators must supervise mergers and acquisitions at their home territory as well as in other jurisdictions. So, it is not unexpected when, those mergers, which, initially seems to be purely American in nature, have been subject to intensive inspection ...

Robert Schuman’s notable phrase “Never war between us” is one of the most critically acclaimed lessons learned by most Europeans with regards to the topic of European unification and integration.

The First Amendment evinces the framer’s intent to create a “wall of separation” between church and state. The First Amendment provides that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” (United States Constitution, amend, I). While there can be no government establishment of religion, religion and politics have long been closely enmeshed. Since the inception of the nation, prayer has played a prominent role in government ceremonies (Lee v. Weisman 633). Beginning with George Washington, all presidents taking the oath of office conclude with the words, “So help me God” (Jonassen 861). Presidents and politicians alike ...

The Victorian domesticity that defined the lives of women and men during the antebellum era was challenged. They left the household chores and became actively involved in the civil war. Instead of sitting idly and waiting for men to come home from the battlefield, they engaged themselves in the civil war. Many women offered the support during the civil war as aides, nurses while others took a different upfront approach and secretly enlisted themselves in the army and ...

Introduction

The European integration (European Union, EU) is widely perceived, not just as an example, but as a model for regional integration due to its vast experience. The EU is greatly harmonized and the integration process is well institutionalized, advanced, and expanding.

Breastfeeding a child is an uncontested action and each and every individual agrees to the fact that it is advantageous to both the child and the mother. However, the bone of contention is the fact that the members of the society tend to have varying opinions on the matter of breastfeeding the child in public.

Introduction

Humanitarian intervention as a concept can be traced back to the seventeenth century. This is the time when the foundations for the contemporary internationally recognized system of sovereignty of states and the principle that such sovereign states have control over all the matters within their borders was established. Since them, the concept has been reformed to enable the international community through the United Nations to protect citizens within sovereign states from human rights abuse, civil wars, ethnic cleansing and political abuse (Piereson, 2013).

The Morality and Legality of Insider Trading

Industry of the film production is a big area where someone's imagination in a form of film may affect the outlook of millions of viewers.

For many years, different tests have been performed on humans or using humans as test subjects. Human testing provides better results as compared to carrying out tests with animals. Humans and animals are by no means exactly identical: There is also the argument that a drug’s reaction in a human’s body is to a certain extent different from the reaction in an animal.
