Introduction

The process in which there is a decline of manufacturing in the region or society; for example, when a company closes down its production facilities due to being under pressure from the foreign competition. It is an economic and social change that happens due to the removal of many industries. Marx’s and Row thorn’s theory of de-industrialization is considered one of the earliest definitions, which say that it happens due to technological innovations . With the invention, work that is more physical is increased and with that, the capital increases. The machines then replace the labor and the rate of ...

Introduction

The German nation was relatively young, born in 1871 after more than half a dozen German speaking kingdoms and duchies came together to form the German empire. However the German Reich encountered several problems during its time that eventually led to its collapse. The country not only witnessed serious political problems but social ones as well. Majority of the population was against the authoritarian rule of the monarchy but the handlers of the empire ensured power did not slip out of their hands through whatever means. Several domestic problems faced the country with civil unrest, the threat posed by the ...

Q1.
Paine uses the term “material injuries” to refer to British exploitation of American resources. According to Paine the Great Britain enriched itself through commercial activities in America. The continent provided both goods and market for trade. Therefore, they had to protect their commercial interest from other competing powers such as France and Spain who also had an interest in American resources. The argument about material injuries has got both merits and weaknesses. The British was exploiting American resources for their own benefits. The exploitation did not benefit the Americans who were the owners of resources and also ...

“For Marxism, literature does not exist in some timeless, aesthetic realm as an object to be passively contemplated. Rather, like all cultural manifestations, it is a product of the socioeconomic and hence ideological conditions of the time and the place in which it was written, whether or not the author intended it so. Because human beings are themselves products of their socioeconomic and ideological environment, it is assumed that authors cannot help but create works that embody ideology in some form.”

I am of the opinion that the American Revolutionary War was a victory made possible by the responsibility of the colonists. A closer look at the American Revolutionary War would tell that it is for the colonists to win, despite the fact that it posed several disadvantages with regard to engaging in warfare against a very powerful enemy, the British Empire. One must consider that the colonists prior and during the American Revolutionary War relied much on the sheer expanse of the colonies in order to achieve victory over the British Empire. The ...

Introduction

Very few people emerge as a leader that is mainly driven by the personality traits and leadership approach of the individuals. These personality traits and leadership approach makes them successful. Moreover, the distinguishing traits and characteristics also enable a person to become an influential leader. In contemporary world of today, where strict competition lies between people, few are able to succeed in making their position strong as a leader. One such leader evaluated in this paper is Margaret Thatcher, a former prime minister of UK who had ruled for a period of 11 years (Northouse 2010, 302; Reitan 2003, 52). This paper critically evaluates her ...

Introduction

Olympic Games emanated from the Greek City of Olympia where they were held every four years between the month of August and September. This period was referred to as Olympiad and was used to measure time. According to tradition, the first Olympic Games were invented by Hercules and throughout the years the games have been carried out to date. The first Ancient Olympic Games were dated way back 776 BC where the first Champion was Coroebus, a cook from Elis who won the sprint race. Initially, Olympics only featured one event that involved race termed as stade that measured about ...

Change4Life is a public health program, started in 2009 by the British Department of Health to promote public health and address issues of public obesity (DOH, 2009). It is, in essence, a social media organization centered around a marketing strategy meant to make eating healthy and living active lifestyles attractive for others (DOH, 2009). The target audience is British citizens of all ages, primarily children and adults of lower- to middle-class backgrounds, in order to improve dietary and exercise habits (Glasper, 2010). Particular focus is placed on pregnant women, families with young children, families at risk of weight gain and ethnic minority ...

In a way, it could be argued that money was one of the main forces behind the Revolutionary War. Although a lot of people think the Boston Tea Party stated the American Revolution, the story actually began in 1763 with the conclusion of the French and Indian War. That was when the British started taxing the Americans to recoup their losses. The Revolutionary War (1775-1783) lasted over 8 years because the number of combatants kept increasing and ultimately, both the Americans and the British paid economically, socially, and politically for it.

Why Did the War Take So Long?

Even after the Revolutionary War was officially underway, it began ...

Discuss this statement in relation to two areas of knowledge.

Philosophy
Philosophical assumptions relating the theory of knowledge aspire towards an understanding of and differentiating among belief, truth and justification. Over the ages since Immanuel Khant’s propositions regarding enlightenment philosophers are still struggling to define and conceptualize the term in relation to knowledge acquisition, revision and validation. As such, in perceiving that ‘knowledge is nothing more than the systematic organization of facts’ it would become necessary to define knowledge and facts. Subsequently, a detailed differentiation between the two will be embraced and thereafter conclusions derived from the exposition in relation to two are of knowledge namely religion and ...

Main Argument of the Readings

Silvia Federici, Chandra Mohanty and Alicia Muszynski discussed in their respective articles the sociological facet of the inferiority perceived upon women. “Insatiable sexuality”, in the case of Federici, socioeconomic differences for Mohanty and race-gender stratification noted by Muszynski all point to reasons why women, under different classifications, receive unfair treatment. The three articles stand united in explaining that women received discrimination because of their biological sex and that it is a demeaning factor when added with other condescending characteristics such as socioeconomic conditions and race.

Personal Argument on the Readings

On a personal note, I perceive the connection between the three articles as highly characteristic of ...

Introduction

The revolutionary war was basically an independence war in the United States. The war was between the thirteen colonies and Great Britain where it grew gradually into the world war. This war was between Britain, the United States, France, Spain and countries like Netherlands. The result of this war was the recognition of the European recognition of independence of US as well as the American victory.
The revolution war resulted from the American Revolution. The British based their concentration on taxation of the colonies in order to get the finances to facilitate the war .This became very expensive ...

- Phase response curve
An understanding of how light and temperature pulses perturb circadian oscillation systems is very essential in the analysis of circadian systems entrainment. When light or temperature pulse of a given intensity falls in a specific phase in a free running oscillation, it can generate some phase advances in the preceding activity. When a pulse of light falls at some phases, it can cause phase delays. A phase response curve is therefore a plot of phase changes both in magnitude and sign expressed as a function of the perturbed oscillation phase (Pavlidis, 1973).
The data of the response curve provided ...

Current practices in Employee relations between the UK and Nepal

- Employee relations address the development of mutually beneficial relationships between employers and employees, (Dundon & Rollinson, 2007; Strauss, 2006).
- The United Kingdom has a very different culture from Nepal and the two countries are also on very different economic statuses. While the UK has a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (nominal) of $36,728 (Wilkinson, et al, 2004), Nepal has a GDP (nominal) of $1,400 (Adhikari, 2000).

Compare European law to UK law

In view of the difference in legal systems and the way in which different countries operate their property market, examine how Great Britain may not sit well in the European Community.
Most legal systems of the world are based on two dominant legal traditions which are Civil Law and common law. This makes the basis of how countries operate differently in many areas. Because of these inherent differences the influence can be phenomenal.
The basis of property law in Great Britain is based on common law principles which are supported by statutes, the law of property Act ...

As the world is progressing and pollution becoming a major determent to a green world, recycling has chipped in to help better the situation. By coincidence, most of the waste products in industries and household chores are recyclable. This means by increasing the rates or recycling we reduce overall rate of resource exploitation and extinction. We also help conserve the environment and ease the process of making the world green. In most cases, governments have come up with acts or laws in their constitutions that help govern the process of recycling. Such acts of parliament or sections of the constitutions usually ...

Minority homelessness in London is an article by Kusminder Chahal that looks at the critical issue of homelessness in London, the vulnerable groups and the health risks they are exposed to. The article provides comprehensive information on the topic of study citing some of the research findings that were found. However, as the author notes from the research findings, they were biased and hence not providing true information on the state of homelessness in London. Most of the research techniques used could not allow the collection of correct information as it was more based on what was physical rather ...

- The text describes the election of 1800 as a "revolution", was it or not and why?
Chapter 6 of the text on “Jeffersonian Democracy” describes the election of 1800 as the “Revolution of 1800”, and so it was called at the time, although the term “revolution” is exaggerated in this case. What really happened was that the Federalist Party lost the election and the Jeffersonian Democrats won. There was no armed uprising as in the 1776 Revolution or the French Revolution in 1789, no battles and no Reign of Terror against defeated enemies, so even by contemporary standards ...

The Indus Valley civilization has fascinated people for a long time. It is a mystery, with no written records to help us solve why the people disappeared, where they came from, and where they went to. We can, however, know certain things about their civilization through facts that the archeologists have unearthed from the ruins that these mysterious people left behind.
Whoever these people were who resided in the Indus Valley so very long ago, we can tell that they were civilized and highly advance people. This is evidenced by their large citadels which testify to a well-ordered and an urban ...

- In an essay, explain the process of global decolonization starting with India in 1947. Discuss whether the great colonial powers (Britain, France, Belgium, Portugal, and the Netherlands "gave" freedom to their colonial subjects - in this regard think of contrasting "struggles" like the French in Indochina and the British in West Africa. Describe the temporary approaches of the British and French to keep their colonies tied to them. Finally explain how the United States and the Cold War effected decolonization.
In India, the nonviolent methods of Gandhi like the famous Salt March of 1930 were instrumental in ...

Bone marrow is that part of long bones and spongy bones in the medullar cavities which is highly vascular. It produces blood cells ranging from red cells to white cells and platelets. Hence, cellular, active bone marrow is referred to as red marrow. As an individual ages, the red marrow is turned into yellow marrow.

Red marrows are composed of quite a number of capillaries, red cells, white cells, platelets, little fat cells, lymphocytes, water and some minerals.

The red marrow contains both pluripotent stem cells and committed stem cells. The pluripotent cells have the ability to produce various cell ...

Biotic potential is a theoretical estimation of the highest possible reproductive capability of an organism in an environment where resources are optimal or unlimited. Biotic potential is usually expressed in terms of percentage or proportional increase per annum. For instance, a biotic potential of elephants in a part can be expressed as follows. The elephant population went up by 5 percent over the past one year. It can also be explained by the time taken for the population to double in numbers, simply called doubling time. When studying diseases, biotic potential can be compared to the infection force, which is the number ...

The land west of the Appalachian Mountains was mostly occupied by the Native American tribes. There was a royal order which preserved this land for natives during the period America was colonized by the British. With the beginning of the American Revolution back East, the threat of an attack became real to the natives. The tribes living beyond the Appalachians wanted the British to put down the rebellion thus they allied themselves with the British.

The struggle for the land continued for a long period of time. By then, France, Spain, America and the Indians were all fighting each other to ...

Anastasio Garcia Samoza clinched the Nicaragua presidency in the year 1936. This happened after winning the hotly contested elections under the Liberal Party which was conducted after the resignation of president Sacasa earlier in the same year (Diederich, B., 2004). Hence, he established a Somoza dynasty that consecutively ruled for 43 years.
Meaning, when Anastasio was assassinated in 1956, he was succeeded by his son, Luis who passed the throne to his brother, Anastasio upon his death in 1967.

The famine in India and West Bengal

The phenomenon of famine in India is not something which can be taken lightly. According to this book, there was a concerted policy by the British of laissez faire economics to starve the people of Bengal into complete submission. Davis argues how colonialism and capitalism in British India killed millions of natives with policies which destroyed their ability to continue subsidizing themselves and their families. Naturally Davis feels rather emotionally about this issue although he is circumspect and matter of fact with relating the stark details.
New Imperialism is a theme often referred to by Davis in his book. Here ...

The American Revolution was not a pure conflict concerning the Americans and the British; it was rather a global conflict. The consequence of this conflict changed the colonial power balance and determined the destiny of the American colonists. The struggle for American independence irritated the most dominant colonial powers of Europe. The colonies’ discontent and the involvement of Europe, all occurred at the end of a period characterized by extreme imperial rivalry. To be specific, the occurrence of the war between the American colonies and Britain was twelve years after the Seven years’ war.

The English contract law consists of a body of rules that control contacts in England, with its foundation based on the intense activities of the judiciary that took place in the industrial revolution. It is critical to mention that the law shares some of its core elements with the commonwealth countries such as Australia and Canada. However, the law had for long been undergoing influences of the European Union during the period that the UK has been a member until this year when it withdrew the membership of the European body. The English law perceives people who enter into ...

Irish Republican Army: Terror in Ireland

(Institute/College/University)

Regarded as the oldest terrorist group in Europe, the Irish Republican Army (IRA) was initially named as the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) or the “Fenians” on the 15th of February 1858. Its earliest objectives engaged the liberation of the region from the “invading” British forces; in the course of time, the IRB forged a close collaboration with Sinn Fein (“Ourselves Alone”) after the latter’s establishment in 1905. The IRB’s radical wing carried numerous attacks including the “Easter Uprising” onslaught in 1916 under the name “Irish Republican Army.” After a cease fire was concluded in 1923, the ...

Time management is key facet in life. However, people have different abilities in terms of managing their time. In order to ascertain that this hypothesis holds, this paper takes students from Royal Docks business as the test sample. The students sampled are almost of the same age thereby reducing bias that might be brought about by the issue of age. This research is interesting because there are two different groups of people, of the same age, who employ different time management skills. The students from the school of Architecture, Computing and Engineering manage their time more effectively compared to ...

Arguably, attempts by the British to tax American colonialists raised a lot of arguments, expulsion of British rule, war, as well as formation of new nations. Most of these arguments began after the seven years war. British came up with numerous reasons on to why they were justified in taxing American colonists.
The British argued that the need for defense in the British colonies was a major reason why American colonies were taxed. During war, British belief that they used a lot of money in the war, hence they needed to recover the money through taxation (Krista, 72). Perhaps, the entire ...

Employment tribunals have come a long way since their inception, not only in scope but also in philosophy. The idea that they should hear claims in an atmosphere far removed from the courtroom, accessibly, informally, speedily, and cheaply, no longer pertains as much as it once did. This study examines the extent to which employment tribunals in the UK fit for the purpose in meeting the needs of both aggrieved employees and employers. The study further recommends reforms for improving employment tribunals. The study traces the growth and change of employment tribunals in UK for the past five decades. These ...

Introduction

The need for government and central bank intervention in the market has historically received support from a number of scholars. For instance, the economic idea of government intervention (demand-side management) in the market is largely attributed to the Keynesian economics, which is highlighted in the book, “General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money” by John Maynard Keynes published in 1936. According to the Keynesian economics, automatic market forces (alone) may not trigger a condition of economic equilibrium, particularly during a financial crisis. This is primarily due to the presence of economic inefficiency brought about by market externalities. Closely linked to government intervention ...

According to Gulanick and Myers (2013), the nursing process has been identified as the most appropriate strategy which can be employed in trying to ensure that the most suitable care is provided to a particular individual. Ensuring that the patient gets the best out of the Caregiving process should form the primary objective of any nursing undertaking. Addition studies (de Oliveira et al. 2012; Weber and Kelley, 2013), show carrying out a thorough assessment of a patient is a significant step as it forms the basis of a care plan. Studies by (Papathanasiou et al., 2013; Morrissey, 2016) showed ...

In situations in which the demand for healthcare services exceeds the number of physicians available, nurse prescribing is normally recommended. This is because it has been found that the prescribing behavior of the nurses is equal to that of the physicians. The context within which nurse prescribing takes place exerts an influence on the mode of prescribing. In order to understand the views of nurses and other team members on nurse prescribing diabetes services, a case study was carried out in nine sites in England in order to determine the context within which nurses prescribe medicine for ...

1. According to Thomas Pownall, the fact of escaping from the rule of the British monarch did not entail the actual release from the British reign. Actual functioning of the colonies was possible owing to the financing and legislative regulatory activities of the latter. Parliament was not entitled to enforce any commerce or trade regulations, as well as taxes were exacted for the benefit of the Crown. It is obvious that Thomas Pownall's notion of a sovereign state is founded on the existence of a unified supreme power, judicial system and ruler.
In that line, the most appropriate solution ...

- Equality issues that trade unions should address
Promotion of equality at the work place is one of the key functions of trade unions. The main priorities that trade unions bargain on are pay packages that are offered to workers and the terms and conditions under which the workers carry out their duties. The framework that governs the employer regulation has been strengthened over in the years in countries such the United Kingdom, United States of America and Denmark; it is often the prerogative of the employers to interpret the statute law. The trade unions are a powerful force ...

The U.S government sponsors a national health insurance program managed by the social security administration. This national health program is referred to as Medicare. The Medicare is generally available to all U.S citizens aged sixty five years and above and the young disabled persons.

In 2010, the UK’s Communities Secretary John Denham sadly noted that in spite strides against racism in the past decade by the government, the same plight of discrimination against the poor white families (PWF) had gone largely unnoticed and had then reared its ugly head. The segment has remained stagnant and has not keep abreast of the general progress of the population.
Denham expressed that assumptions on race have to be taken cautiously lest they will be used to justify PWF’s disadvantages. One such notion is that Asians are naturally more hard-working and ambitious ...

Recently, the role of a managerial accountant is widely discussed in the scholars. Johnson and Kaplan (1991) argue that management accounting is “too late, too aggregated, and too distorted to be relevant for managers’ planning and control decisions” (1). Haedr (2012) considered the mediation effect of management accounting information on motivation using contingency theory stating that “MAI usefulness accounts for a full (i.e. complete) mediation effect only on the relationship between centralization and MCS effectiveness.” (n.p.). As the number of views cannot present a unified opinion on the matter, the purpose of the current paper to reveal whether the functions of the ...

The possibility of more European Countries drifting away from the Euro lies in limbo considering the adverse impacts that Brexit has on Britain’s economy. Even before the eventual secession of the UK from the Europe Union, the country has begun to feel the heat and economic turmoil of disengaging with the rest of the countries that form the confederation. Politically, UK is losing grip in the control of Europe as Russia emerges as the best bet to control the entire region. Therefore, leaving out the EU is both an economic and political misery to any country, since the ...

Internationalization of the economy, on the one hand, and the uneven development of the countries on the other, led to the fact that labor migration has gained an unprecedented economic and political significance. The economic gap between the countries and the need to balance the geopolitical interests has influenced the migration flows in the developed countries. Over the past few decades, a steady labor migration has led to a new segmentation of the labor market and the allocation of jobs that are taken mainly by migrants.
Global economic development is associated with marginalization of female caregivers, namely the tendency to ...

The Columbian Exchange, coined by Alfred Crosby in 1986, refers to the massive movement from the Old World to the New World and back, of crops, animals, and diseases after the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus in 1492 (Grennes 2007, p. 91). The meeting of the Old and the New World drastically changed the fortunes not only of the natives inhabiting the newly discovered continents, but also of the European settlers and Europe as a whole. New species of animals were introduced to the Americas that helped in farming and transportation. On the other hand, new species ...

POLITICAL HISTORY

What is the relationship between country size and trade and will existence of many small countries promote or inhibit trade?
Country size is a highly relevant factor as far as trade is concerned. A large country will entail more internal trade. Presence of many small countries will promote external trade as the small countries will seek goods they do not produce (Palmer, p.134). The existence of countries in large units will promote both internal and external trade as these countries will be able to produce a wider variety of goods for example North American countries.

These letters by John and Abigail Adams describe the important political, philosophical, economic and military issues that were first and foremost in the minds of the American people around the time of independence in 1776. Abigail Adams in particular was concerned about the abolition of slavery, the rights of blacks and women, and better economic and educational opportunities for the poor. Both were strongly opposed to tyranny, despotism and aristocracy, both in Britain and among the gentry and the Loyalists at home, and thought that armed rebellion and a declaration of independence were necessary in this struggle for liberty and ...
