Introduction In his book titled The Short Story of Progress, Ronald Wright analyzes civilizations that have witnessed rapid growth and supremacy. He also elucidates the fatal fall of many such civilizations and enjoins that over-exploiting the environment can lead to ecological catastrophe. By finding answers to questions relating to human origins, reasons for existence and destination of the progress pursuit, Wright warns the society from traversing through progress traps, created by humans themselves, blinded by a short term urge to modernize. “We can go to understand the reckless aspects of human nature and circumvent the danger of arrogant self-destruction, ...

Aboriginal peoples already had legal systems and governance structures even before European settlers arrived in Canada. With the advent of European settlers, Aboriginal peoples were forced to either assimilate to the foreign systems and culture or ignore the immigrants and keep their culture.

In 2014, the United Nations on the basis of three indicators such as life expectancy of citizens, availability of education and standard of living (poverty or affluence), calculated the index of human development in 190 countries around the world.

Federalism in the United States has evolved over the past 200 years from an arrangement where state and national government powers and responsibilities were clearly distinct and separate, to one in which the line of distinction between the two has blurred.

A few of these clauses extended the power of the national government in order to prevent the hazards faced by the Articles of Confederation. In order to ensure that limitations still existed on the federal government, the Tenth Amendment was included. ...

Introduction

One could hardly imagine a resident of the developed country who has never delved into such aspect of popular culture as sport – either by buying a soccer ticket, buying exactly the same sneakers model David Beckham was wearing in that Adidas commercial, following the Olympics on TV or hunting some rare baseball cards. In the modern world, sport activities have become extremely different from the leisure games they used to be as they were invented. In the recent decades, significant societal, economic, political and cultural transformations turned sport not just into a socially meaningful phenomenon but rather in an ...

Many factors contributed to the Great Depression. In America, the roaring twenties produced a false sense of prosperity, America had become the world’s bank that faced the crisis of defaulting loans, and, the failure of banks following the stock market crash each contributed to the great depression.

Question 1

It is the perception that the American atmosphere allows equal opportunities for all. Therefore, it does not matter whether one is born poor or rich – for as long as they work hard – they are destined to achieve their lifetime desires. Regardless of one’s social class, the American dream gives an opportunity for better life for everyone. However, research comparing the economic mobility of rich countries suggests otherwise. The USA has less average occupational upward mobility than comparable societies such as Spain, Germany, and all European countries except the United Kingdom. It means, therefore, that it is more difficulty ...
