...In Federalist paper number 10 James Madison explains why there should be a concern over majority and minority factions and solutions to lessen the dangers of these factions. When our goverment first started it was made originally to help and be closely tied to the citizens of the United States. Some aspects of this has changed since the beginning of the constitution resulting in some majority and minority rule change. When the Consititution was first written it was made to simply limit majority rule and give eqaul amount of power to the minority. The national goverment was originally built closely tied to citizens because of the House of Repesentatives. The House of Representatives was made to give citizens an equal say in the legislation of the United States. Unlike in the Senate, members of the House are elected by the people of the United States giving citizens a say in govenment affairs. One of the major aspects of the national goverment that is tied to citizens is the short term lenght and frequency of elections of people holding an office in the goverment. With the short term lenght and frequency of elections citizens are constantly contributing to what is going on in the nation by voting on who will be the best candidate for a certain office. A third reason the national goverment is closely tied to citizens is that the House of Representatives represents small member districts. This causes there to be close to equal say for everyone in a state to elect someone to represent...

...Reflective report Module title: Business Law Student: Vasilica Madalin Muntele Lecturer: Rosie Watson Date of submission: 30/08/13 Our assignment question was “What is ADR and how does it improve access to the justice system?” The team that was assign for this presentation included alongside me, my colleagues Modupe and Hydras. We began with a decision to whom will “break the ice” in the presentation. After a quick debate, we divided the presentation into three parts: • Introduction, held by me, about alternative dispute resolution • Types of alternative dispute resolution, held by Hydras; and finally • Advantages and disadvantages of alternative dispute resolution, and how can it improve access to the justice system. Following I am going to make a summary of what I had to talk about during the oral presentation. “Civil disputes occur when a person’s rights have been infringed or an individual has been injured because of another person’s action or inaction ADR involves settling a civil legal dispute by a method other than a decision before a court. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, many people became increasingly concerned that the traditional method of resolving legal disputes, through conventional litigation, had become too expensive, too slow, and too cumbersome for many civil lawsuits (cases between private parties). This concern led to the growing use of ways other than litigation to resolve disputes. These...

...about how the market gears up and aligns incentives such that individuals work for their own self-interest for an improved standard of living. The author explains how the soviet socialist economy failed because the bureaucracy of the government controlled the economy. This chapter says that it is not fair to impose preferences on others. He says that it is bad economics to impose preferences on individuals whose lives are much different from all the rest. The entire chapter rests on the central idea that thinking in terms of incentives and disincentives is the best way to formulate policy. He goes further by saying that one the most important roles of government is regulating these incentives to make sure that they serve its purpose. Chapter 2 The chapter begins with a story of the rhinoceros, an endangered species, and the reason why as the black rhino becomes endangered, the black market price rises correspondingly making it a vicious cycle. Other examples are used in the book to show that when a material thing brings in profit, that is all right but when they no longer serve their purpose, then they are dispensable. This, the author explains, has nothing to do with compassion but everything to do with maximizing the value of a scarce resource. He maintains that many things in life all boil down to...

Corleone assumes power, at the end of the 1940s, we are facing a period of economic stability, the game had legalized and this was a business/product with a great potential for the future. We could therefore say that we have a new product that generates great uncertainty in a very turbulent environment with high competition. M. Corleone has the network of contacts but he is not especially empathetic or loyal. Resources: The organization: Consigliere or CEO. Caporegine directors of various business units. Associated resources: external services, social and political favors. Politic control. Material resources, “soldiers”: they running orders. Financial resources. If we maintain the clear target of the family: take the family and business to the most high power, we can create new different scenarios: Adaptive Strategy: Get into a new business (new product), independent of what it was. Merger with one of the other five families: winning market share and new...

It is a way of evaluating in which environment will the product need to enter. Barriers to entry are factors that impact a new product and how easy it is to enter into a market. Here are some barriers to entry: ➢ Economies of scale – large companies can produce products at high quantities and therefore making them cheap to manufacture ➢ Established brands – well known and hard to gain customers ➢ Switching costs – these are associated with machinery and development of new product ➢ Large capital expenditure – a new firm would not have the capital needed to stay competitive with established firms ➢ Government policy – may have impact as it will be hard for new product to keep up with changes in legislations PESTLE analysis Political factors will influence our product as they can create opportunities or obligations to out company.

Myth of adventuresome superiority in Europe. - Based on internal characteristics of Europe and giving no credit to non-Europeans. But they were trading in maritime centers just like everyone else.

Special progress in Europe? Nop... Europe in 1492 was “sluggish”. - Economic growth was slow and most likely negative. - Urbanization process was slow. In 1 or 2 decades progress and economic growth started to rise. - - Why??? So Why??? Geographic location. - Europe was simply closer to America and this was an advantage. Sailing conditions were better: winds were favorable. West-African traders were oriented towards east by land and alongside the coast. Marcos: but... why did they not go through Mediterranean Sea?

...pleonexia, the drive to have more or have as much as possible given its zero-sum nature. The zero-sum nature is when one member of the community achieves more at the expense of others. He also claims that goverments make laws to serve their own interest and why justice can only be a kind of simple-mindedness. Thrasymarchus states that those who reproach justice do so only because they are afraid of suffering the wrath of the Gods. This array of assumptions is sufficient to justify why for Thrasymarchus, the tyrant represents an ideal. The tyrant has managed to acquire all necessary political power in his city which allows him to monopolize his wealth as well. However, Thrasymarchus’s assumptions omit two stark possibilities. Firstly, justice may have other effects as important as of those he states. He also speaks nothing of the psychological effects of justice on the just person or its effect with on personal relations with family and Gods. It could be because the simplicity of justice mentioned above; where by it is only natural for some to be restricted to the desires of wealth and power. The other possibility is that there may be other goods that are as important to us. Therefore, Thrasymarchus’s assumptions are very bold as he tries to provide a snapshot of the most important facts of justice. Socrates gets Thrasymarchus to agree on three points. Justice is the advantage of the stronger, it is just to obey the rulers, rulers are liable to error and command what is not to their...
