USA Health Care System

Over the years, the health care system of many nations has evolved. The changes, some good and some bad, can be attributed to the cultural view of health care, situational factors, employee insurance coverage of health care and other economic factors.

The William Boston’s article titled “Merkel Backs Bond Buying Program” reports the move by the German Chancellor, at a summer news conference in Berlin, to back the process of buying bonds by the European Central Bank (ECB) in a move that could only be perceived as an endorsement of the ECB president, Mario Draghi, in a manner that would not in any way undermine the position of Germany’s Central Bank (The Bundesbank), whose president, Jens Weidmann, has been a strong critic of the bond-buying process. According Boston, Merkel, while professing her incertitude about the ability of Europe to establish a common regulator for ...

The main thesis of Carole Chapman’s article is that Britain's refusal to follow the Hitler’s plan profoundly influenced his strategy. In 1939, the ruling circles of Britain, France and the United States endeavoured to direct Hitler's aggression against the Soviet Union. If not for the pact, there would be a united front of the Western powers and Germany against the first socialist state. The Soviet-German pact was vital, as Britain and France did not want an alliance with the Soviet Union and, thus, disrupted talks in Moscow in August 1939.
Hitler realized that since Britain refused to ...

Although foreign investment is advantageous for diversification, investors should investigate underlying aspects that determine the success of international portfolio diversification.

The research carried out by Yavas rightly concludes that investors should consider foreign investment as a feasible means to diversifying their assets because foreign equities offer decent returns. Therefore, it is crucial for ...

In ideal terms, one’s response to this debate should be straightforward: the principle of self-determination would seem to be at the heart of the notions of freedom and democracy, and, therefore, in principle, every group that claims to be a nation should, in principle, be allowed to have their own state, but the real world is far messier than the ideal. There are distinct problems with allowing this principle to be exercised across the globe, and, because each call for nationhood occurs in a slightly (sometimes radically) different context, there can be no single solution which can be applied across ...

When speaking of minimalism in music, one cannot speak of it completely without mentioning Terry Riley and La Monte Young, who at a large extent are credited for being the pioneers of the minimalism movement (Potter, 2). The interaction between the two classmates at the University of California-Berkeley would later go on to shape a new genre of music. Riley and Young were both interested in classical music and drew inspiration from John Cage, a renowned composer and performer based in Germany (Potter, 12). In 1959, Young visited Germany and got to experience music performance from his mentor John ...

His research is aimed at providing relevant evidence about the need to be cautious when setting up memorials because more often, their defined purpose ignores the existence of overlapping and congruent scenarios leading to their installation. ...

Comparing the 2008 Us Crisis with the Japan’s “Lost Decade”

Both the Japan’s lost decade and the 2008 United States and the world financial crisis were caused by excess savings and inflation of huge asset bubbles. By 1980s many Japanese resorted to a lot of savings on their income as they expected to retire. This translated negatively on the economy as it lowered the Gross Domestic Product and weakened local demand of commodities. Furthermore, much savings simply meant that the Japanese citizen had foregone consumption. However, this problem was disguised in the Japanese poor finance policy as well as financial technology. Inflation therefore arose from poor regulation of the ...

Baader-Meinhof gang was a group of terrorists in the German Government, who were gender sensitive since almost half of the people were women. This was funny because most of the terrorist gangs are mostly composed of men. The group had three most active leaders who were Meinhof, Baader and Gudrun Ensslin. This gang is only interested with socialism where most of them wanted to become revolutionaries (Huffman, 2008). Many of them were only willing to take part in demonstrations because they found them interesting. They also wanted to recruit many young people as much as possible.

1. The Sapir-Whorf theory of language essentially argues that language is culturally-conditioned, and so the way you speak depends on your environment and your experiences and the traditions of your culture. Anthropologists and linguists are particularly interested in the languages of remote and self-contained tribes people because their lack of contact with the developing world allows the study of language at an earlier evolutionary stage of development. However, there are signs that even in European languages culture and background may play a part in the way that some languages perceive the world around them. Motluck (36) examines the gender of ...
