Oil Prices Fluctuating In the Middle East

The front line where active fighting is taking place is over 1000 miles, and general losses amount to hundreds of thousands.

His model characterizing national cultures emphasizes five dimensions. Each of them defines attitudes towards certain state of things in the society, of course, culturally reasoned.

Levels in Which Government Cannot Participate

There are different types of government's participation in healthcare systems on a global scale. They will be discussed and explained in the following paper. In the less developed countries, there is a possibility of a minimal role played in the regulation of health care by the government. For instance, in Ukraine the government several times failed to provide an efficient healthcare system and this resulted in a decreasing life expectancy (Fan, 2015). Sometimes the state regulates its citizen’s safety and health through licensing healthcare providers and regulating medicine. A prominent example of such policy is Safe Work Australia ...

Recently I have met with an interesting woman – Anna Kozachenko – second-generation immigrant from Ukraine. She works at a local art gallery, continuing the passion of her grandmother who used to be an artist back in Ukraine and who pushed Anna to work in this industry. A little over forty today, Anna shared some unbelievable stories about her childhood and about her visits to homeland that left her more puzzled rather than gave her understanding of her roots. In a brief interview that we had, I realized that we live in such a surreal time. We have access to all ...

YOURSCHOOLHERE C13 Economics Assignment 08 Part 1 Monopolies develop in several ways (Vandewetering, n.d.). There are “natural” monopolies that emerge from the scales of some businesses. Electric generation utilities, for example, require multi-million dollar investments in the plant and more millions to build the distribution infrastructure. At these levels of entry costs, virtually no competition can develop. Some monopolies develop around ownership of a scarce resource. The DeBeers company, for example, controls a large percentage of the world’s supply of diamonds. The third form of monopoly is the result of government action. For example, patent and copyright protection ...

Following the destruction of Poland’s armed forces in 1939, the country was partitioned between the Soviet and Nazi forces, and with the progression of the war millions of Poles suffered and died. From the Warsaw Rising to the Treblinka genocide, Polish Jews were to be murdered and Christians to be reduced to semiliterate slaves. The Holocaust in Poland is a vital event that enables us to understand ...

I am like my brother in some ways and different in other ways. It is a natural phenomenon. No two persons can be alike albeit twins. This is the very beauty of nature that no two individuals share the exactly same characteristics. The very evidence of it is that finger prints of each and every person on the earth are different. However, it does not nullify the presence of resemblance between two or more individuals. Resemblance is basically based on genetics and sociological environment of persons which create their behaviour. Thus, it can be safely said that besides that ...

Therefore, the issue of white collar crime arouses more limited public and formal response. Besides, its coverage in mass media and research is not as frequent as that of conventional crime. The objective of this paper is to compare these two types of crimes and show that the neglect of white collar crime issue can lead to such serious consequences as economic and political crises.

Why Violence Works

Every individual possesses myriad of feelings that can be manifested in billions of ways. And it is not limited to the instincts: quite often in addition to the need in food, sleep and sexual activity, people feel aggression and violence toward others. From generation to generation, from century to century human society has tried to extinguish these feelings, but there were numerous cases when such attempts failed. Sometimes aggression was the main instinct of world rulers, and it created a lot of troubles. Though, the world and the human minds have changed much, aggression and violence still find ...

Various Regional Trade Associations exist in Central and Eastern Europe for economic and trade development. However, not all former Soviet republics belong to these RTAs. One such RTA is the Eurasian Economic Community. Most have however maintained links, strong or weak, with Russia in various interlinked associations. These relationships have both positive and negative consequences. In particular, some of the associations with Russia have presented several economic challenges to the former Soviet republics. Political and religious developments have also suffered some setbacks as a result of the associations with Russia (Mitra, 2008). Continuity in links with Russia has led ...

Introduction

In November 1960, the Republicans lost the presidential election, and a Democratic Party candidate John Fitzgerald Kennedy became the president of the United States. A relatively young man (43 years), he represented a new generation of American politicians. Veterans of the war years, a generation embodied by Dwight Eisenhower, were to leave the politics in the US. In the Soviet Union, a “war generation” remained in power until the mid-1980s. In France, Germany, and other countries of the Western Europe the same generation continued to reign. The Kennedy team was to revise the postulates of the military-political line of ...

Modern international relations have significantly increased the influence of American presidents. Three in particular served with similar events playing out: Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama. The terms of these presidents were denoted by tumult in Iran and a resurgent Russia, and as far as foreign policy is concerned, their legacies may not be pristine. Jimmy Carter faced significant challenges in regards to Iran, whose revolution in 1979 instilled a theocratic regime devoted to Islamic law. The Ayatollah blamed the West for many of the region’s issues and when Carter allowed the deposed Shah to receive medical ...

Abstract

While power is a secular affair these days, ethics and moral with their connection to religion seem related to what refers to activities associated with the governance of people and territories. Of course, neither of the two provides a comprehensive view of the complex notion of politics, yet both complement the concept with precious meaning. Thus, moral adds an important dimension revealing domestic politics as a set of activities prioritizing social welfare. Furthermore, the perception of governance through the prism of virtuous leaders, as done by ethics scholars, such as al-Farabi, allows people to perceive politics as a unique ...

Introduction

Since the republics in the Soviet Union proclaimed independence in 1991, there have been significant changes concerning the ethno cultural, and demographic situation. The dissolution of the Soviet Union was the major reason behind the creation of the Russian Diaspora. More than twenty-five million Russian citizens found themselves in the midst of newly and freshly created states, which were often redesigned as their new political dwellings (Beissinger, 2008). After some time, the displaced Russians were compelled to either assume a fresh political identity, or to return to the Russian Federation, which was newly created. Assuming fresh political identity would ...

There are many of forms of protest, but the one that is probably the most visible one lacks attention of the political researchers. Undoubtedly, political graffiti contain ideas that challenge the public opinion or the government’s practices. Nowadays they are an important part of street art that is popular in the global cities, London, Tokyo, Berlin, Barcelona, New York as well as in the cities which suffer from the societal and political crises. It is widely known that in the situations of oppression, people start to resist the dominating forces by using jokes, songs, theater, etc. (Waldner & Dobratz, ...

With the on-going strained foreign relations between the United States and Russia about military technology prowess, some pundits have predicted the possibility of another or new cold war between the two countries. Whereas the two countries have enjoyed mutual bilateral relations over the past few decades, the recent years have seen the relations between them deteriorating, to an extent of President Putin and Obama differing openly on various issues as recently witnessed during the70th United Nations General Assembly meeting in 2015. This essay explores the history of the altercations and conflicts between the US and Russia over technology. For ...

China and Russia are two significant members of the group known as the BRICs. The other members are India, Brazil and South Africa. While China seeks to use its economic influence in buying world power, Russia seeks to regain its lost political influence by challenging the United States and Western Europe.

It also examines Russia’s constant antagonism with the United States and its allies in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. The argument ...

Military campaign in Syria, which Russia started in the end of September of 2015, naturally raised issues related to the goals of Russia in this conflict. Despite the fact that it was known earlier about Russian assistance to the government of Bashar al-Assad — it took many by surprise that Russians openly joined the war in Syria. Russia officially announced that its aim in Syria is to create an international coalition to combat the ISIL terrorist group. In practice, Russia has nevertheless focused on the attack on other armed rebel groups. This focus helped to ensure the sustainability of the ...

Russia in the past 10 or 15 years the era dominated by Vladimir Putin as the most powerful man in the country has been marked for seemingly increasing importance of Russia in the international scene. Russia after going through a tough period of readjustment in the 1990s emerged in this century as one of the leading powers in an increasingly fractured world. Russia has a very large footprint in a very important part of the world, serving as a bridge between Europe and Asia. Russia under Putin has had a very active foreign policy which has been marked as ...

Currently, there are very harsh discussions about the role of Gorbachev in the history of the Soviet Union in the last years of its existence. Often he is regarded as a person who undermined the whole structure of this country. Very often, he is considered as a traitor in Russia. On the contrary, in the West, he is believed as a person who ended the Cold War. But nevertheless, the fact that harsh discussions about his person and role are going on is the best evidence that Gorbachev is an outstanding person with great contribution to the world history ...

Being dominant in terms of economy, political affairs and military power requires a country to have a certain geographic location and a size that would allow achieving ambitious political and economic goals. Undoubtedly, for a small country with insufficient natural resources, little population, and large neighbors nearby it is very difficult to become powerful. In the meantime, even small countries may act as very authoritative international actors if they have several reliable and strong allies and the surrounding countries cannot harm them. In this paper, the importance of geography in making a country an economic, political and military power ...

Establishment of BRICS was one of the most significant political events of the beginning of the XXI century. BRICS is a group of five fast-developing countries: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The organization was founded in June 2006 during the St. Petersburg`s Economic Forum with the participation of the Ministers of Economy of Brazil, Russia, India and China. Before the inclusion of South Africa in 2010, the organization was known as BRIC. For the first time the acronym BRIC was proposed by Jim O'Neill Goldman Sachs`s Bank analyst in November 2001. The sequence of letters ...

Where in the World We Might Be Headed Next?

It is almost certain that the world order that it was – when the United States was the only superpower – is now changing. In fact, the profound social change from the initial simple world characterized by democracy and common desirable goals seems to be less dominant. Today, nations are more divided as they lack a particular common drive that is truly an international agenda. Expertise commentaries suggest that there are several possibilities that could happen in the next decade. According to Doug Saunders (2014), the possibilities can be forecasted according to five contemplates scenarios. This paper selects “a New Cold ...

Religion plays a key role in directing human behavior. It is a source of values that are important for peaceful coexistence in the society (Ferree 7). It is the foundation of morality in the society.

It is the duty of every individual to respect laws and rules put in place for an orderly existence of humanity. For a society to function well, every institution in the society should advocate for human dignity and the well-being of all individuals (Ferree ...

Abstract

Historical events have an impact on the lives of people living at the time, and those residing in the future. They also contribute to the evolution of societies in terms of their structure, attitudes, and preparedness for similar occurrences in the years to come. These events can be social, political, technological, economic, and ecological in nature. Nevertheless, one event can touch all these facets on either a minor or major scale. This paper explores some of the events that shaped human history, and their impacts on modern policymaking. The Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986 revolutionized the way industrialized nations ...

First of all, I would like to refer to «Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl Written by Herself». Harriet Jacobs describes her own life. The main concept that runs through all the work of the author, it is the idea of incommensurability of sufferings of men and women in slavery. According to Jacobs, a female slave woman is not only subjected to all the tests, through which the men are also going (overwork, starvation, flogging, etc.), but she also becomes a victim of even more serious tortures: “Slavery is terrible for men; but it is far more ...

The Use and Abuse of History in the Recent Ukrainian Crisis

A revisiting of Ukraine's geography and historical narrative would clearly shed light on the recent Ukrainian crisis and how the turmoil and sentiment in the Orange Revolution and the 2014 confrontation originate from a long history of struggle over the delicate status of Ukraine between East and West. Through the correct use of history, one would understand that history drew the dividing lines and spurred the conflict that spanned centuries. Eastern Ukraine was occupied by Russian imperialism in the 1800s, followed by Western Ukraine. This provides an explanation of the reason Eastern Ukrainians have largely remained loyal to politicians ...

Although political interactions hardly resemble interpersonal relationships, it can be argued that under certain circumstances applying human-to-human relationships approach can yield beneficial results for countries or political bodies. All people share a set of common moral principles they more or less base their behavior on. This set of principles does not always align well with various political goals and, thus, is often not included in the decision-making process. There are numerous ongoing conflicts in the world, many of which are far from being moral and justified. The war in the eastern Ukraine (Thompson) can be presented as an example ...

The origins of Russian-American relations are deeply rooted in 17th -18th century. The first Russian emperor, expressed interest in a faraway country, was Peter I. In January 1719, surveyors were instructed "to go to Kamchatka and then where indicated, to describe those places, whether America converged with Asia". During the reign of Anne of Russia, Bering made two expeditions to those regions: in 1725-1730 and 1733-1741 years he was in the Chukotka Peninsula and Alaska, reaching North America. During the war the United States for independence in the 18th century Catherine II refused to allocate to the English King ...

Historically the European Union and Russia have always been considered as strategical partners due to the geographical position and common interest in cooperation. The European Communities had started the cooperation with the Soviet Union in 1988 after the declaration their mutual desire to build relations in competitive areas and common interests.

Over the recent years, the eradication of racism in soccer in France and other European countries became the priority of the UEFA activities. The European football union does its best and resort to every possibility to struggle with the problem. Governments provide huge financial support, organize events and distribute publications calling for complete rejection of any form of racism. At first sight, it can be argued that the problem of racism is rather self-sufficient and will disappear in time, with the increasing impact of globalization urging people to dispose of racial prejudices. However, the problem of racism appears to ...

Issues in Society

Issues in Society As the world becomes more and more dependent on technology and all the devices that allow people to remain “connected,” there is no bigger culprit to luring people online than social media sites. These sites include Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and other sites that hook the user to visit the site repeatedly. Surely the connectivity of people around the globe has been a fortunate invention for various purposes, such as keeping in touch with friends and family who live hundreds or thousands of miles away or for more serious purposes involving business or professional contacts. There ...

The usual practice of cooperation of almost all countries with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) suggests, that the country’s authorities, experiencing enormous economic problems, tend to rush assistance to the creditor - the IMF. Usually, these actions are quite explainable and very clearly motivated by the authorities of the borrowing country. For all that, there is nothing paradoxical in the fact that the initial requirements of the IMF are almost always carried out unconditionally. As a rule, it refers to “monetary package”, the fast stabilization measures, which should enable the National Bank of the borrowing country. Ukraine, as ...

The international war on terrorism continues and there was a new upsurge in terrorism around the world in 2014-2015. A very large number of terrorist attacks means either that the international community has been unable to work out the effective strategies and policies or that the war on terrorism is in the midst. Despite the better cooperation between the governments and international organizations we can observe the tragedies mainly in the Middle East, Africa and Europe on the regular basis. The Institute for Economics and Peace provides some shocking statistics related to the international terrorism. In 2014, the number ...

Totalitarian political system is based on the unlimited authority and power to ‘rule’ every dimension of the social and even private life of the individuals, which is in direct contrast of democracy. Such governments maintain their rule by regulating a comprehensive propaganda campaign that is communicated through the television channels and print controlled by the state. Public at large is the major party that has to go through the tyrannical control of the state over economy, media, surveillance, and freedom of speech and thought. The use of terror is common and widespread in totalitarian states, to keep the opinion ...

I have enjoyed the pleasure of living in two neighborhoods over the past five years and saying that they were as different as any two neighborhoods could be wouldn’t make me wrong. For this very reason, the transition from the Ukrainian village in Chicago to a very different neighborhood in Ericson, Minneapolis was as hard as an individual could imagine, but there was something different to enjoy in both places, and it would be unfair to rank one part of the country over the other. I also believe that a comparison is unfair for while the neighborhood that ...

The redistribution of power at the global level, an abrupt increase of the role of the Asia-Pacific region, the violent events in Syria and Ukraine, migration crisis induce the world to review and attempt to "modernize" certain fundamental provisions of their global and regional policy. US defense doctrine showed a rethinking of the role of the country's newest security environment, given the fundamental changes that have occurred in the world during the first decade of the XXI century. On the 5th of January, 2012, President Obama announced a new US defense strategy and has published "guidelines" for her. The ...

For the cultural immersion project I have chosen to learn more about the Eastern Europe, as I believe that I lack relevant and unbiased knowledge about Slavic culture, their values, attitudes and traditions. Therefore, I asked my friend from Ukraine to let me spend a day with her family, who has recently emigrated from Eastern Europe. I really did not know much about Ukrainians, so I thought that such an experience will be particularly beneficial for my personal growth. My friend and her family were happy to help and organized everything to make the experience interesting and useful. I ...

In 1904 a British scholar Halford Mackinder delivered a lecture at the Royal Geographical Society called “The Geographical Pivot to History.” Among other important points he made in the lecture one is very relevant to the topic of this essay. Namely, Mr. Mackinder stated that at the beginning of the 20th century the world became the fully interconnected system. There were no more blanks and white spots on the map of the world. Everything was already known to man. Pushing forward, the scholar said that compared to the previous period in history of mankind when developments happening in a ...

The European Union is one of the most successful regional integration bodies in the world.

Since itss formation, the EU has experienced increased membership, as there are now twenty six countries involved in the organization. The establishment of the EU has allowed the creation of a free market around Europe; therefore allowing economic development among member states. Other than economic integration, the EU has also promoted peace among its member states. By discussing the events ...

I think it is very premature to speak about the end of the era of America’s supremacy in the world. Here is a list and analysis of reasons why I am convinced that the story goes exactly this way. Speaking about supremacy, even in the broadest definitions, without laying them down to specific examples we have to take into consideration all aspects of power, i.e. economic, political, military etcetera. Speaking about America, let’s analyze its economy first. According to numerous reputable ratings issued every year America is the first economy in the world, competed by China and ...
