Essays on Uniformity

Where the national law of a European Union (EU) member state conflicts with the norms of EU law; the national law must give way. Put another way, EU law is primary to or supreme over the domestic laws it members. Although the Treaty of Rome, which created the EU, does not specifically state the primacy of EU law; the European Court of Justice’s (ECJ) early interpretation of a number of the treaty’s provision focusing on the conflict between EU and domestic law has led to the common belief and continuing precedent of the supremacy of EU law. ...

1.1 Background developments

Traditionally, accounting standards have been developed by different countries on the basis of local legal, economical and cultural institutions frameworks (Elliott and Elliott, 2009, p. 158). As a result, the standard setting was very country specific. With the globalization process at work for the last 3-4 decades and increasing mobility of capital internationally accepted accounting standards have become necessary to facilitate cross border transactions and make financial reporting comparable between countries and companies thereby leading to a greater transparency for investors (Nobes, 2004). IASB has been set up as a private international standard setter with a mandate to create high quality accounting standards ...

History plays a very important role in the development and progress of humanity. Social, cultural and political religious factors play a crucial role in shaping a society. All these factors evolve in a particular way throughout the history to give the society or world a particular shape. The world of today has also experienced such historical evolution. The economy is becoming increasingly global, in which an idea of uniformity and global culture is embedded. But on the other hand, despite the increasing move or evolution towards uniformity, the extremism in the world is also increasing. The reason for that is hidden in the past ...

Drug courts are courts that oversee the reformation and rehabilitation of non-violent drug offenders (Cole & Gertz, 2012). Under these courts all stakeholders of the criminal justice system work in tandem to ensure that those going through the program are reformed and rehabilitated. The drug courts supervise the treatment program especially through regular review of the offender to ascertain the progress made. The court normally rewards the offender where there is positive progress, and imposes sanctions where the offender has regressed or violated any of the conditions that had been imposed. There are drug courts for adults, juveniles, and ...

The U.S tax system can be classified as progressive where tax rates increase with increases with taxable base or the gross income (Amico 2003, pp 14). The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) under the Federal Government defines gross income as any income from whatever source except for the items excluded by the state. Sources of income in this case include compensations such as service, income from insurance (except death benefits), interests, pensions, and annuities, gross profits from businesses, income from corporations, partnerships, trusts and estates, amongst others (Lymer 2004, pp 144). The state excludes death benefits accruing from life insurances, ...

Standardization connotes ‘uniformity of procedures’ in administering and scoring tests. Standardized tests are for the purpose of comparing scores received by different persons. If the scores are to be comparable, the test and testing conditions must be same for all who take the test. Tests that are administered in an unvarying mode to all test takers are a standardized test. The principle of standardization is that the only independent variables present in the test should be the individuals taking the test and all other aspects must be constant. In order to achieve uniformity of the testing conditions, the test ...

Most of the theories of Durkheim argue that harmony fosters efficiency in work by minimizing conflicts. The occupational practices of Durkheim include the procedures adopted in the hope of realizing division of labor while creating harmony in the workplace. Durkheim was optimistic that these practices are attainable; however, he challenged people to show commitment in attaining their full level. In his preface to the second edition, Durkheim highlighted that legal division of labor was desirable due to the unique existence of the groups that came from it (Durkheim 2). Durkheim developed the hopeful theory, which assumes that division of ...

Issues Facing Intergovernmental Relations

The state and the federal government should complement each other. The federal government exercises powers in a semi-autonomous manner, keeping the state government in check; this prevents the country from having an all-powerful central government. However, there are instances when the state and federal governments clash on some issues. There have also been major debates on which matters should be handled by which government. Sometimes the national government has been seen to arm-twist the federal governments into doing things in a certain manner, for example, adopting some legislation. The first major issue is the policies and legislations put in place ...

Anthropology has done much for religion by comparing religious opinions and cultural practices across social organizations, concluding that religion is created by human society that practice it.

Assumption of modern anthropology holds that religion is in continuity with magical thinking (Cassirer 1944:122).

God is an imaginative projection of humans as it has been observed that images of gods worshiped by communities resemble such communities. For instance,

Xenophanes a Greek writer observed that Thracian gods were blue eyed and blond while those of

the Ethiopians are flat nosed and black (Harvey, Van A. 1997). If gods are like the people worshiping them, then the society is worshiping itself in the disguise of religion- this argument has not been validated by all anthropologists. But this may make much ...

Mandatory minimum sentencing laws are inflexible sentence that courts are forced to hand on a convicted individual. These laws do not factor in culpability and other mitigating elements surrounding the crime committed (Bjerk, 2005). These laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. These laws apply mainly in common law jurisdictions as in civil law each crime is prescribed minimum and maximum sentences (Gilpin, 2011). In scenarios where the mandatory minimum sentencing laws prevail, judges have only the core duty to determine whether an individual is guilty or innocent. The laws were formerly introduced in two countries, the United States, and ...

Social control is very important in developing good morals among the members of the society through conformity to the societal social norms and customs.

Brand dilution

There is the imminent problem of a high possibility of brand dilution. There are some steps that could lead to brand dilution like when we examine the expansion strategy utilized by the other automobile manufacturers. One would notice that they are manufacturing variants for specific market regions; for example, there would be models for the European, African, Asian and other markets (Meredith, 2000). When this approach is adopted the customers in some regions would feel short changed because there is no uniformity. They are likely not to take pride in these models since they have a feeling that some features are ...

The onset of jazz music was a luxurious and monumental thing for New Orleanians. Though music was essential to life in New Orleans throughout the nineteenth century, no sound that welcomed everybody. New Orleans was a diverse place where Creole, French, Spanish, and African cultures, among others, all lived elbow to elbow, with seemingly nothing in common other than a love for music. During the 1870’s could be heard everywhere. New Orleans was filled with the folky sounds inspired by European immigrants, and the distinct beats of African and Caribbean inspired musicians. As the turn of the century approached, these two ...

Autism has a long past, but a short history. The story of autism begins with legends and tales of children being left by elves in return for stolen. In real history already in the 18th century medical texts are known, containing descriptions of people who are likely to suffer from autism (although the term was not used yet) – they did not talk, were excessively closed and had unusually good memory. Scientist of the previous centuries who approached the problem of people with autism the most was French explorer J.M. Itar, who described this state on the example of a 12-year-old boy ...

In the 2008 film Die Welle (The Wave) directed by Dennis Gansel and produced by Rat Pack Film and Christian Becker, high school teacher Rainer Wenger (portrayed by Jürgen Vogel) challenged his students about the possibility of an authoritarian government in modern Germany. To prove its possibility, he provoked his students to being his blind Nazi followers while he plays as the dictator "Herr Wenger". It was an experiential experiment gone astray but a subtle and touching revelation on the transcendence of fascism in contemporary time. For Rainer, it started as an innocent class strategy in teaching Autocracy ...

In family law and public policy, child support and visitation has been a matter of public discourse and intense debate, with no end in sight. Child support refers to a periodic payment made by a parent for the financial benefit following the termination of marriage, its dissolution or other relationships.

Why did Dr. Snowdon choose a population of nuns for his study of Alzheimer's disease and aging?

It is prudent to note that the author of the book aging with grace had a very bright brilliant idea in his attempt to study the health of the religious population catholic nuns. He therefore chooses to study the health patterns of this population because at that time every member of that population was being subjected to the same access to health care, same living situation and for the above all the same income status.
