They were fighting against many people and sometimes almost whole states. The Process was laborious and harsh. It was back and forth and George Washington stated in his letter to Henry Knox, “Under the circumstances enumerated in your letters, the favorable decision, which has taken place in that State, could hardly have been expected. Nothing less than the good sense, sound reasoning, moderation, and temper of the supporters of the measure could have carried the question.” The Constitution was also important to the Federalists because the Articles of Confederation (what the colonists had before) only allowed the government limited Power. This meant a lot of the power went to the states and so the country as a whole wasn’t very united. The...

...Flexicurity Student name Course code Course name Date Flexicurity refers to an European policy agenda, which seeks to increase flexibility and security in labor markets nationally. Much as it is a different approach from one centered solely on flexibility, flexicurity has been highly opposed right from its onset. Now it is being reviewed in light of the crisis that occurred in 2008 (Marsden and Hugh, 2008). Apart from letting go of this agenda, the European Commission announced a “second phase of flexicruity’, though it was highly suggested that flexicruity needed to be re-made independent of the crisis. Nevertheless, flexicruity envisages changing the work life and lifestyles of Europeans, and much as it is justified by the needs of the workers, it is void of a clear and democratic justifiable idea to back up its impact on the society. This report explains how flexicruity can be applied in the labor market and social policy. With reference to the European Commission (EC) (cp. 2007a, 7), flexicurity may contribute to the restoration of competitiveness in European economies and the maintenance of the European social model, both of which are perceived to be under immense pressure. On the contrary, this reform has been greatly countered from its onset with the criticism gaining momentum after the crises in 2008. Nonetheless, the European Commission has relentlessly affirmed its determination to pursue the flexicurity objective (Marsden and Hugh, 2001)...

...Introduction: A governor (from French gouverneur) is a governing official, usually the executive of a non-sovereign level of government, ranking under the head of state. In federations, a governor may be the title of each appointed or elected politician who governs a constituent state. In countries the heads of the constitutive states, provinces, communities and regions may be titled Governor, although this is less common in parliamentary systems such as in some European nations and many of their former colonies, which use titles such as President of the Regional Council in France and Minister-President in Germany, where in some states there are governorates (German: Regierungsbezirke) as sub-state administrative regions. Other countries using different titles for sub-national units include Spain and Switzerland. The title also lies, historically, to executive officials acting as representatives of a chartered company which has been granted exercise of sovereignty in a colonial area, such as the British HEIC or the Dutch VOC. These companies operate as a major state within a state with its own armed forces. There can also be non-political governors: high ranking officials in private or similar governance such as commercial and non-profit management, styled governor(s), who simply govern an institution, such as a corporation or a bank. For example, in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries there are prison governors ("warden" in the United States), school governors...

A total of 3,025 Malaysian graduates involved in the study and data were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. The results show that the employment prospects of graduates with a good command of English and who possess leadership and technical skills are better when compared to those without these skills. These findings suggest that steps should be taken to improve soft skills among graduates. The results also show that Indian and female graduates in this study were found to have less chance of being employed compared to the Malay and Chinese graduates. However, these findings should be interpreted with caution as some of the respondents were not randomly selected, thus suggesting further research towards identifying the relevant factors is required.

Transition reforms have led to rapid structural shifts in the economy: China has become a focal point for much of the insecurity that globalization has produced: for the past two decades China has experienced explosive economic growth that has attracted jobs and capital from around the world (Feng, 2007). No other industrializing country has ever attracted jobs at both the high and low ends of the production chain. From basic level assembly work to the upper tiers of industry and services, China is setting the global norm for working standards around...
