...V Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World creates an illusion of a society in which civilians believe they are truly happy. The government uses different methods to alter the mindset of the people in the novel. By removing specific attributes from people’s lives, such as individuality, artistic representation and self-awareness; Huxley demonstrates the psychological hold the government has on civilization. By offering comfort whilst removing individuality it was a perfect tool that the government took advantage of in order to distract the population. Brave New World takes place in a utopian society. In this society it is imperative that the government instills a system in which individuality is nonexistent and the undoing of mother nature must occur. The implementation of these conditions is what is perceived to give people a sense of a “happily ever after” life. This Is done to maintain a sense of stability in society. Stability is the main goal for the leaders in the society, if everybody is the same and stability is maintained it is easier for people to be controlled. In the novel Watts states “…. tragedy does not Daramola 2 arise from...

...Government Regulations Laws in the United States for mass production and commercial use of a drug are amongst the strictest and most costly to develop in the world. US demands for prescription drugs in 2009 was $300 billion, which was a massive 40% of the world population. In terms of strictness, drugs have to go through many tests by numerous regulatory agencies before getting approved for mass production. The self-diagnostic kit that tests for Influenza, Pink eye and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) has to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). FDA; The obvious government regulation needed is the one from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Before any drug, or in our case a drug diagnostic kit, hits the market, it has to go through many trials and tests before it is approved. “As with all products regulated by FDA, rigorous reviews of laboratory and clinical data are needed to ensure the safety, efficacy, purity and potency of these products.” CLIA; Due to the fact that the self-diagnostic test is going to be a commercially used product for humans, it has to be approved by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), which are a part of the FDA. CLIA are federal regulatory standards in the United States created in 1988 for any laboratory tests that are performed on humans. One major competitor, QuickVue, which is a diagnostic for influenza A and...

...The French Revolution is an exact copy of the American Revolution. They are attempting to change their corrupt government to a democracy, and it is America’s job to help them. Because they have helped us, it is only right that we repay the favor. In addition, the United States can not be selfish about their new form of government. If we believe it is the best form of government, we must help other countries share this success and enjoyment. The president’s neutral stance in regard to the revolution is “in violation of a pledge the United States had made in a 1778 treaty of alliance with France during the American Revolution” (Bodenner 1). This stirred a resentment toward the United States, causing France to become a threat. With this said,...

...Throughout Huxley’s novel, A Brave New World, the dystopian government’s control of the World State and the people within it is a recurring theme. The government has full control over people’s thoughts, reproduction, and love. In essence, the only part of humans they do not have control of is their movements. At the very beginning of the book, the reader learns that in the World State Hatching and Conditioning Centre, Delta babies were being taught to dislike flowers and books. “He waved his hand again, and the Head Nurse pressed a second lever. The screaming of the babies suddenly changed its tone. There was something desperate, almost insane, about the sharp spasmodic yelps to which they now gave utterance. Their little bodies twitched...

...POLSCI 200 Why Can’t the Government Pass the New Immigration Reform? Our nation is currently faced with many problems and the one that still seems to stand out is an immigration reform. Many of those who reside in the U.S may not see it as a big issue, but in reality it really is. Even though many presidents including Obama tried to adopt the immigration reform, the policy has been murky since Naturalization Act of 1790. The federal government developed a cohesive procedure for naturalization. Immigrants at that time were granted citizenship after living in the U.S. for at least 2 years without criminal records. Every President since Dwight D. Eisenhower has taken executive action at some point regarding to immigration reform. With the last immigration reform act passed in 1986, the time to fix a broken immigration system is long overdue. Since the United States has been highly populated with diverse population including documented or undocumented immigrants, the government could have considered adopting the immigration reform specifically and permanently. Apparently, there are some reasons that take many years to process an immigration reform in Congress such as polarization in Congress, Federalism, courts’ decision, media impaction, and interest groups. It is hard to believe that why the government is not fully paying enough attention to immigration reform bill that is one of the most important not only for country itself but also for its economy. Now, we have estimated...

...Business and Canadian Government Policy; Initiating a New Policy Name: Institution: Course title: Instructor: Date: Business and Canadian Government Policy; Initiating A New Policy Introduction This paper looks into a proposal on the introduction of a universal pharmaceutical policy or pharmacare in Canada. Canada is a country that has a global reputation of offering a successful healthcare to its populations. The Canadians enjoys free healthcare facilities because when they get sick they just need to visit the hospital or their doctors even when they do not have money. The government funds for the universal health policy by use of government revenues. The government gets the funds to pay the policies through taxation of Canadians who are well-off. Most Canadians especially the ordinary Canadians have benefited from the universal healthcare as it has increased their accessibility to health services (Fierlbeck, 2011). Although most Canadians and stakeholders consider the Canadian healthcare policy as universal, it is not comprehensive. A comprehensive healthcare policy should offer a complete healthcare package for citizens. The current healthcare policy in Canada does not substantially offer a comprehensive healthcare policy. This is because various core areas of healthcare are not covered with the current policy on healthcare. The core areas that have been left out by the policy include dental care, prescription drugs, and prescription glasses. The prescription drugs are more...

...AMBA 600 1141 | “How Can New Cloud Technologies be Implemented in Government Contracting?” | | | Stephen Roane | 5/11/2015 | Executive Summary: Recently cloud computing has been a hot topic in the news. The reason is because cloud computing has a lot of potential. Cloud technology could revolutionize the way that businesses operate. Recently the Department of Defense (DOD) granted security approvals to a number of companies that provide cloud technology. This technology could have a significant impact on the way that procurement is done in the Federal Government. Utelizing this new technology could create cost savings, give remote access and create flexibility. Along with these advantages that cloud technology can potentially offer comes some issues. The main issue that cloud technology presents is security threats to the information that the cloud itself will store. On 4 May 2015 the Department of Defense granted new security approvals to 23 cloud providers. The reason why this is important in the Contract/Procurement field is because this will allow contract writing systems to operate via a cloud application. The use of cloud technologies will create cost savings and offer “flexibility and agility to respond to new challenges and opportunities.” (McKendrick, 2013) Cloud systems have their pros and cons. Some of the pros are the flexibility and access, which could be a plus to any federal agency. On the other hand the major con is security. ...

...Husband and a Wife and children either adopted or biological. The New Right also believe that the Nuclear Family should also have traditional segregated roles within the family. This traditionally means that the women would be in charge of the household chores and looking after the children whilst the husband would be the main breadwinner and would go out to work. The New Right are a perspective who believes that government policies do not support the traditional Nuclear Family and the roles that should be upheld within that family. One of the main policies that are thought to undermine these traditional roles and values is that of the Divorce reform Law of 1969. This law made divorce, especially women, easier, less costly and less shameful for the women who were involved. It also introduced the concept of family courts which helped to protect the children who were almost, inevitably involved in the rare divorce of their parents. The reform of the law is something that the New Right doesn’t agree with. They feel that the law encourages divorce and in this way it does not support the Nuclear Family. They feel that because divorce is no easier for the majority of people then more people are going to get a divorce and become lone parents and because they believe that the Nuclear Family has to consist of two married parents and their children then this is a policy that doesn’t support that way of family life. Although the New Right and the Functionalists do not agree with this policy,...

...The “Blairing” of the Edges Third Sector and the Third Way Barriers to the fulfilment of expectations of and from voluntary sector organisations under a New Labour government Dissertation for MSc Voluntary Sector Policy & Administration (SA475) June 2000 Department of Social Policy London School of Economics & Political Science Synopsis Voluntary organisations as a vehicle for volunteering, for active citizenship and for a healthier, civil society have become an important of New Labour’s thinking. The voluntary sector is also identified as a vehicle through which government priorities may be more effectively addressed in particular, measures to address social exclusion[1]. This dissertation considers the current state of the relationship between the voluntary sector and the Government and seeks to identify barriers to the fulfilment of this political vision in the context of one Department’s work.[2] The study discusses the findings in the light of the emerging thinking on the Third Way and the substantial body of work on contracting - the medium through which much of the relationship is conducted in the case of the DfEE. Whereas there is an apparent willingness to consider measures to overcome recognised barriers, there appears to be confusion about the extent to which goal deflection may have damaged the legitimacy of voluntary sector organisations. There is therefore uncertainty about which part of the voluntary sector (service delivery organisations, the community sector...

...human history, especially the past one hundred years or so, people these days are spending more time relying on technology to solve various types of problems. Does the ability of humans to think for themselves really deteriorate as they rely more and more on technology? Admittedly, the improvement of technology and its concomitant contribution to a more convenient daily life does to certain extent obviate the necessity of many traditional tasks, subtly affecting the humans’ ability of thinking. Nevertheless, as a whole effect in general, technology progress improves working efficiency and labor safety, and frees humans from low-level repeated physical work to high-level decision-making intellectual work. In addition, technology proposes brand-new problems as well which challenges the humans’ thinking ability to an even unexpected extent. It is true that in many situations, the requirement for thinking seems less demanding than before due to the development of technology as the “brains” of computers have replaced humans’ role in many tasks. For instance, students no longer need think hard to solve involving algebraic equations as calculators could do the job for them; engineers do not have to worry about the side effect of modifying their design drawings at one place as in the past due to the modern CAD software’s smart updates...

...Is new leadership going to revitalize an organization, thus bringing success to it? Leadership to an organization is rudder to a ship, without too much emphasizing on the importance of leadership, I agree that those in power need to step down for better leadership when necessary. If leaders are making big mistakes, they need to step down anytime necessary. But if current leaders are leading their organizations to make significant progress, they need to stay in power for the sake of their organizations’ continuous progress. New leaders can bring new ideas, innovation and other important resources to their organizations, which are important for the success of organizations. By the 1980s, Haier Group had debt of over CNY ¥1.4 million and suffered from dilapidated infrastructure, poor management, and lack of quality control. The company was on the verge of bankruptcy. Zhangruimin, the saver of Haier Group, introduced the sense of quality to its members by smashing 76 faulty refrigerators in front of everybody. The company started turning around in late 1980s with Zhangruimin’s disciplined management. As an avid reader of western and Japanese business, he brought Haier into international competition after cooperating with Germany Liebherr Group. This has been one of the most told stories where a new innovative leader saves an almost bankrupted company. Under some extreme circumstances, those in power might need to step down before the end of their due time. Chairman...

...Impacts of Chinese Government PR 1 Running Head: IMPACTS OF CHINESE GOVERNMENT PR Impacts of Chinese Government Public Relations: PR Expertise, Legitimacy and News October 31, 2007 Impacts of Chinese Government PR 2 Abstract Over the past five years, Chinese government has deployed considerable amount of resources to enhance government public relations expertise with the hope of achieving more positive media coverage by Western media. However, the effectiveness of government public relations strategies is not only contingent upon public relations expertise but also upon legitimacy of Chinese government perceived by journalists. This study finds out that Chinese government public relations efforts have been helpful in raising the number of attributions to Chinese government sources in U.S. media coverage of China, but do not improve the image of China in U.S. media coverage and the valence of China in American public opinion. Impacts of Chinese Government PR 3 Impacts of Chinese Government Public Relations: PR Expertise, Legitimacy and News China has become more involved in the international community economically and politically since the reforming and the opening policies in the late 1970s. As a result, China has gradually played an important role in international economy and politics. Simultaneously, China has seen an influx of Western tourists and businessmen. Inevitably, these changes spur demand for various kinds of information of China, and lead to a dramatic...
