Introduction
The theory of natural resource curse can be founded back from the 1970s. Resource curse has been an important topic for researchers since two subsequent decades; multiple research efforts have proposed the association between the production of resources, numerous socio-political ills, and, economic underperformance. The role of natural resources in the growth of the economy has been a question of immense debate. If the role of natural resources is considered in common sense, then economic growth theories propose that natural resources are the gift and economies through building their capital can grow economies. However, if the revenue spending ...

Introduction

Resource curse has been one of the most debated economic issues for the past four to five decades. Indeed, it refers to a theoretical approach that connects certain indicators of a country’s economic growth to its reliance on natural resources such as oil, gas, and minerals. According to a general belief (termed as ‘resource curse’), the countries that are rich in natural and non-renewable resource are characterized by lower levels of democracy, economic growth, and development as compared to the countries with less or no reliance on these resources (Sachs, and Wartner, 2001).
On the basis of the ...

The Resource Curse, which is also called the paradox of plenty, refers to the observation that countries that are rich in natural resources, usually non-renewable natural resources like metals, minerals, oil etc. tend to see lower rates of economic growth, problematic experience with authoritarian governments, and generally poor development indicators when compared with countries that have lesser or none of the natural resource (Venables, 2016). This resource curse is not a rule or law, but rather a struggle to explain why resource rich countries (the most common under analysis being oil-rich ones) that possess all the financial and economic ...

There have long been questions in the political science world regarding African nations and why African nations have developed in the way that they have. In general, African nations face high levels of corruption and conflict; some consider colonialism to be the most significant problem for Africa, but many political scientists consider the issue to be much more nuanced and much more complex than can be described only by the after-effects of colonialism (The Economist Staff). Significant bodies of literature have been written on each African nation, and to examine the historical trends for each nation independently would be ...

Alcoholism is a widespread problem today among societies. According to the 2011 World Health Organization (WHO) report, “The Global Status Report on Alcohol and Health” approximately 2.5 million people die from alcohol abuse every year. The report further revealed that not only is alcohol a cause for many diseases, but it also leads to injury and violence.
There are several reasons why alcohol can be considered a curse. It is a curse because it is a highly addictive substance. If taken in moderation, alcohol does not produce any harm, but if taken without control, it may cause severe problems. Foremost among the problems ...

Resources are, by far, the sinews or the driving force of the economy. For centuries, countries have waged wars over lucrative resources that would give them a competitive advantage, improve the economy, trade, and help amass national wealth. Following that logic, resources should normally benefit whatever country has them at its disposal. However, it so happens that countries rich in oil, gas, and other mineral resources struggle to maintain economic stability. Their abundance attracts separatist groups or foreign intruders and produces poor and corrupt administrations that use resources as a means of building their own welfare. The conjuncture now is such ...

Life can be considered in two opposite ways: as a gift offered to you, or as a curse imposed on you. The two meaning entangle, like a growing stalk of beans, according to the maturity of your soul, the capacity of your mind, your life experience and the social and family environment that surrounded you while you were growing, like a seed in the womb of life, itself. So, nothing about life is linear. Nothing can be straightforward or clear. Like the two sides of a coin, life plays your fate according to the rhythm of a very subtle dance: gift or curse, curse or ...

Question #1

Taking into account that we have a business where units take time to produce and storage is expensive, we need to identify where a huge number of these units can be produced and stored in order to keep up with the future demand . However, it is not possible to do this, since storage cost is significantly high. Hence, the total cost is directly proportional to the storage cost.

The two poems, Dickenson’s ‘Because I could not stop for Death’ and Thomas’ ‘Do not go gentle into that good night’ speak about death, but not in the same way. Dickenson had a walk with ‘Death’ whom she sees as her welcoming companion while Thomas rages against Death and thinks that no brave man who has lived a full life should succumbed to death . He says “Old age should burn and rave at close of day” (“Do not go gentle.”) Dickenson makes death into a person and refers to it as ‘He’. She says ‘He’ kindly stopped by ...

Is Love a blessing or a curse?

Why do people die and kill for love? Why can a single feeling be woven by opposites, like happiness and misery, altruism and jealousy, peace and mental chaos? And how can such opposing forces be part of the same feeling, sometimes at the same time? Maybe, just maybe, because when it arrives, it is never announced and does not let you get ready for defense. Love is an invader. It attacks softly, comes disguised, almost unnoticed, and it is usually too late before you realize it invaded, like a virus, all your mental, spiritual and physical being. That is why it ...

IS THERE A CURSE? [I Samuel 17:21-31]
Because of the Opportunities, There is a Curse: In the evil of war, the opportunity to subdue a nation through hatred and violence brings with it the curse of the aggressor, the Philistines. The fear that descended among the Israelites from the menacing presence of the monstrous Goliath of Gath (The Jerusalem Bible OT365; v. 24) broke the stronghold of faith in God among those who supposed to be soldiers of God. However, God’s opportunities are never curses. To David, whose heart responded with indignity ...

The Irishman’s Curse:

Stereotypical Alcoholism

It is the subject alone that causes gales of laughter, reasons to cheer and carry on, and of course, another reason for those who share such a lineage to drink. On the outside it seems harmless, a bit of good humor to alleviate any and all problems that one might face in a round of everyday life. The balm of alcohol is in fact a pleasant escape for many into a hazy, self-induced euphoria that for many is a relaxing episode ...

Primarily, William Blake’s poem “London” is a description of a very corrupted society where the power of materialism is prevalent, and there is a striking difference between the upper and lower-class sections of society.

The problem is that they are absolutely unaware of what is happening to them. This is why Blake believes that there is no such thing as a perfect place to live. ...

People can be blind to love, truth, or reality in general. The reason can be strong emotions or an intention to escape a traumatizing situation. At the same time, the outcomes of such blindness are usually tragic. Euripides was a master of creating dramatic plays that encapsulated the strongest emotions of a person by engaging them into the traumatizing actions and experiences. Particularly, the topic of blindness is particularly vividly represented in Euripides’s “Medea” (Euripides 17). She is overwhelmed with her frustration and anger on Jason’s betrayal and humiliation.

English literature spanning various centuries reveals idiosyncratic trends and ideals of British history, which allows students and scholars to examine and assess successive literary periods.

Moreover, it provides a window into the historical ideals with regards to gender and how women were expected to behave and comport themselves according to their class.

This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over ...
