...Out of the ten principles I think the major principles that would affect my decision to purchase a new home would be: Principle 2: The Cost of Something Is What You Give Up to Get It, Principle 4: People Respond to Incentives, Principle 7: Governments Can Sometimes Improve Market Outcomes. I chose these three principles simply because purchasing a house is a very difficult and long term financial responsibility. Although this is costly I would be willing to sacrifice finances in one area of my life to enjoy the long term benefits of purchasing a home, which is where Principle 2 takes place. During my research to purchase home I would look for the government programs or offers like a first time homebuyers incentives like money back. Hopefully at the time of purchase I would be eligible for one of these government programs which help with Principle 4: People respond to incentives, I would be happier about my new home purchase if there was a program or incentive like this was offered. I think principle 4 and principle 7 coincide with each other during my business making process because if the market is not doing very well then it would be harder for me to purchase a new home because of the price of homes and inflation. Inflation affects every area of life from the purchase of a tooth brush to the purchase of a home. So if other areas of my life have increased then purchasing a new home would make living and the cost of living a little higher for me. Although all of these...

...Theme: International standards and principles on business and human rights Outline 1. UN Global Compact 2. Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights At first sight, it is difficult to trace the connection between human rights and business. However, nowadays the proximity of these concepts has been developing rapidly and ceases to amaze. For many influential companies this direction has already become a mainstream. Companies can achieve real progress in observing human rights and at the same time succeed in conduct of business operations. Respect for human rights by commercial structures has become a "sign" of an ideal, socially responsible organization and comfortable for the best shots. With the support of business and other stakeholders, the UN Global Compact’s governance framework was adopted by then UN Secretary-General Annan on 12 August 2005 following a yearlong international process co-led by Georg Kell, Executive Director of the UN Global Compact and Professor John Ruggie, then Special Advisor to the Secretary-General. That process included studying networked governance models of other cutting-edge global action and solution networks and holding focus groups with participants and stakeholders, including governments, local networks, and academics. The resulting governance framework distributes governance functions among several entities so as to engage participants and stakeholders at the global and local levels in making decisions and giving advice...

...OVERVIEW ABSTRACT: "No free man shall be taken or imprison or disseized or exiled or in any way destroyed nor will we go or send for him, except under a lawful judgment of his peers and by the law of the land". --MAGNA CARTA This paper is a presentation of the concept of rule of law, Dicey's theory of 'Rule of Law', rule of law in true and modern sense and rule of law in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh context I have discussed the provisions for ensuring rule of law in Bangladesh constitution. I also have discussed the provisions of the constitution, which are contrary to the concept of rule of law in Bangladesh. It has been also identified the difficulties of application of rule of law in Bangladesh. INTRODUCTION One of the basic principles of the English constitution is the rule of law. This doctrine is accepted in the constitution of U.S.A. and also in the constitution of Bangladesh. Now a days rule of law is one of the most discussed subjects of developing countries. Developed countries and donor agencies always instruct the developing countries for sustainable development and good governance. Actually sustainable development and good governance mostly depends on the proper application of rule of law. Laws are made for the welfare of the people, to bring a balance in society, a harmony between the conflicting forces in society. One of the prime objects of making laws is to maintain law and order in society, a peaceful environment for the progress of the people....

...spirits and preventing them from waning support which ultimately proved to be the ace in China’s victory against Japan. For example, the Chinese government imposed a strict media blackout on the whole nation throughout the Sino-Japanese War. The Japanese did not lack in this area of warfare either and held their own against the Chinese. Three main principles were instilled in citizens to assist the ruling government then. They are 国体, ⼋八紘⼀一宇 and 武⼠士道2 and ingrained the belief that the war was holy and that Japan would emerge victorious at the end no matter what kind of obstacles they may come across. The use of propaganda may differ considerably between these two nations at war but the results were exactly what the government had in mind - elevating the statuses of those who die for their country and glorifying the act of self sacrifice as patriotic. Japanese Propaganda Kokutai, literally “national body”, is translated simply as ‘sovereignty’ and in wartime Japan meant the Emperor’s sovereignty. Basically, the qualities that make a Japanese “Japanese”. The Ministry of Education then went on to publish a treatise named Kokutai no Hongi 3 to explain the principle of Kokutai and to provide the people with a model way of life. This document was the most important out of all the documents produced by the ruling government of Japan which aimed to articulate an official ideology for the nation. This document clearly stated its purpose, to overcome social and political...

...SUBJECT: Philosophy and Science of Public Administration Topic: Philosophy of Public Administration Public administration is vitally concerned with the efficiency and economy. By spending least resources, the administration becomes result-oriented and Productive. Alongside this efficiency approach, there has been growing Concern about what may broadly be Called ‘morality’ or ‘ethics in Public administration. Government has to serve the common good without making any distinction between Man and man. Efficiency in government thus has a moral tone. Against this background the broad theory of public interest has emerged to provide general framework for the functioning of public administration. There are several reasons for the Concern of for public interest. The members of the bureaucracy constitute Power elite. They are likely to take decision in self interest or under pressure from powerful interest groups. Further, the bureaucracy is a mindless machine that turns out decisions mechanically. The rule-bound administration may look very neat and tidy, but it may not be able serve the wide Cause of public interest and according to Herbert Simon administrative decisions are often based on the grounds other than those of efficiency and economy. Social and psychological factors greatly influence the way the decision see taken by the decision-makers. Thus the importance of a sense of public interest as a wider ethical Commitment in Public administration assumes significance in this...
