...“All eyes will be on you”, said Austrian Empress, Maria Theresa when her 15th child, Marie Antoinette was being sent to France at the age of 14, destined to marry the grandson of king Louis XV, the Dauphin of France, Louis XVI. Louis XVI grew up strong, though very shy. Their first meeting was rather awkward and amateurish. They got married in 1770. Thus, a confederation was formed between the two rival countries and the princess of Austria, became the crowned Dauphine of France. Even after their marriage the interactions between Louis XVI and Marie were blundering, they were encouraged to produce an heir for the throne. Her life in Versailles was fruitless and rather unsuccessful. Louis XVI had an obsession with lock smithing, which became...

...France The French Revolution (French: Révolution française; 1789–1799) was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France that had a fundamental impact on French history and on modern history more broadly. The absolute monarchy that had ruled France for centuries collapsed within three years. French society underwent an epic transformation, as feudal, aristocratic and religious privileges evaporated under a sustained assault from radical left-wing political groups, masses on the streets, and peasants in the countryside.[1] Old ideas about tradition and hierarchy regarding monarchs, aristocrats, and the Catholic Church were abruptly overthrown by new principles of Liberté, égalité, fraternité (liberty, equality and fraternity). The royal houses across Europe were horrified and led a countercrusade that by 1814 had restored the old monarchy, but many major reforms became permanent. So too did antagonisms between the supporters and enemies of the Revolution, who fought politically over the next two centuries. Amidst a fiscal crisis, the common people of France were increasingly angered by the incompetency of King Louis XVI and the continued indifference and decadence of the aristocracy. This resentment, coupled with burgeoning Enlightenment ideals, fueled radical sentiments, and the French Revolution began in 1789 with the convocation of the Estates-General in May. The first year of the Revolution saw members of the Third Estate proclaiming the Tennis Court Oath in...

...and fair regard.” King Henry can be viewed as a power-hungry man, who will do anything to get to the top, even kill his friends. Alternatively one can see from how he punishes his traitors – Scroop, Grey and Cambridge, as a positive. It demonstrates how far Henry has come from his days spent in unsavoury places; he understands that sometimes, in order for a king to rule wisely, he must do so ruthlessly. Henry was faced with the decision of honouring his friends of the past or his rule of the future. It is easy to regard Henry as a crude tactician, and expedient ruler. A man who has the characteristics of a true Machiavellian leader and does not care about the safety of his citizens, but rather about how he can take the throne from the Dauphine. Then one can say that he is a politician who understands the impact of propaganda and is renowned for his persuasive political speeches, and his excellent understanding of the power of language. He uses his outstanding...

...Questions d’actualité en Gestion des Ressources Humaines | Restructurations | Luc Wilkin – Arnaud Moulin | Elodie Dufour – MA1 GRH 2014-2015 | 1. Tant à Lille qu’à Bruxelles, dialogue social et restructurations ont été mis en relation. Qu’en pensez-vous ? La notion de restructuration renvoie à diverses situations : fusion, concentration d’entreprises délocalisation, etc., qui se traduisent généralement par des mises en cause des conditions de travail et des suppressions d’emplois. Dans bien des cas, les restructurations sont assimilées à une crise mais elles deviennent progressivement un processus diffus et permanent. Il y a trois formes de restructuration dominantes : le licenciement collectif, la fermeture d’entreprise et le transfert conventionnel d’entreprise. Dans tous les cas, des procédures d’information et de négociation d’un plan social doivent être mise en place. Les acteurs qui ont le plus de poids en période de restructuration sont les partenaires sociaux. On peut définir les partenaires sociaux comme étant des agents économiques participant à des négociations sociales. Ils sont constitués des représentants des travailleurs et des représentants des employeurs. Ils participent au dialogue social qui peut être bipartite lorsque l’Etat n’intervient pas, ou tripartite s’il intervient. Les législations belge et française obligent l’employeur à consulter les partenaires sociaux avant de prendre une quelconque décision qui affecterait le volume des...

...| | La politique de diversité et la GRH | | | | Avril 2013 INTRODUCTION De nos jours, la diversité est devenue un terme de plus en plus populaire dans le domaine de la GRH. Alors qu’auparavant les discriminations reposaient essentiellement sur les différences économiques (bourgeois et prolétaires, riches et pauvres…), aujourd’hui elles se fondent sur des classifications identitaires telles que la couleur de peau, le sexe, la culture… Le concept de diversité poursuit l’idée d’une organisation sans discriminations ni injustices. Beaucoup clament que la diversité est source de performance pour l’entreprise. D’autres défendent l’idée suivante : alors que la diversité est d’abord implémentée dans une optique de suppression de toute forme de discrimination au sein de l’organisation, elle contribuerait au contraire à la consolidation des différences, incitant même certaines minorités à mettre en avant des attributs non observables (l’appartenance religieuse, par exemple). L’objectif de ce travail est donc d’analyser dans quelle mesure ces deux points de vue peuvent être considérés comme ayant une influence réelle sur l’organisation. Est-ce une réelle philosophie intégrée ou une stratégie commerciale ? Concept de diversité Le mot diversité intègre une dualité : * D’une part, les caractéristiques démographiques (origine, nationalité…) et les particularités sociologiques du personnel (sexe, âge, culture, handicap…). La diversité augmente la complexité de...

...La presse quotidienne régionale Est-elle en crise ? EstIntroduction La presse quotidienne régionale est un média généraliste et de proximité. Elle couvre l’ensemble de l’actualité l’internationale et nationale mais l’information régionale et locale reste le point d’ancrage de celle-ci. Par conséquent elle traite de l’information politique, économique, sociale et culturelle mais elle rend compte aussi des évènements (quel que soit leur importance) qui constituent la vie d’une région, d’un département, d’un canton. En province aujourd’hui, un français sur deux lit « son journal régional ». Il existe 9 groupes de presse qui regroupent 61 titres. Les plus performants en termes d’audience sont Ouest France, Sud Ouest et Voix du Nord. Le lectorat de la presse quotidienne régionale est assez équilibré entre hommes (50,8 %) et femmes (49,2 %). Il touche en priorité les 35-39 ans (41,9 %) suivi des plus de 60 ans (33,4%) et dans une moindre mesure les moins de 35 ans. Les ouvriers sont les plus représentés (21,2 %), les professions intermédiaires (11,7 %), les employés (10,7 %), puis les cadres et chefs d’entreprises, les artisans commerçants et enfin les agriculteurs. 1/11 Audience et Diffusion de la Presse Quotidienne Régionale definition-marketing.com) 1) Définition (Source : definition-marketing.com) a.

...2/15/12 Sponenberg Unit Paper #1 One of the many goals of producing a work of art is to generate a response from the ideal audience. Sometimes certain artworks are even based off of history or historical events to stimulate further response. Or they are simply created for the artist’s own desires. Thereby it is art’s responsibility to reality to portray history in an unbiased manner as best as possible. Displaying forms of art that are not truthful toward history or reality can distort one’s belief of a person or an event if the intended audience knows nothing more about the person or the event then what was shown in that particular art form. By not following this, certain events/people are going to be remembered for inaccurate reasons. Surprisingly, not everyone would agree with this idea. There are definitely those who believe that the real world and the...

...Mélanie Urvoy English 102-005 13 February 2012 Research paper A Conflict as a Poker Game In the early twentieth century, women were still dependent on men. It was difficult for a woman to have a job and be financially independent. In addition, at this time, women had to keep their virginity to have a chance to get married. A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams is placed in the picturesque French Quarter in New Orleans. The play starts when Blanche DuBois comes in New Orleans to visit her sister Stella after she lost the family plantation Belle-Reve because of money problems. She then meets her brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski, a World War II veteran. As soon as they meet each other, a mistrustful rivalry starts between them. A Streetcar Named Desire depicts the conflict between two opposing views as a poker game between Blanche and Stanley for control. From the beginning of the play, Williams starts distinguishing Stanley and Blanche by their mentalities. In fact, Blanche has the Old South mentality. She grew up in a plantation where she learnt how to behave as an aristocrat whereas her brother-in-law is an industrial and a Polish immigrant representing the New South. Blanche is described as delicate and fragile whereas Stanley is rude and violent. Blanche lives in a world of illusion. She acts as a queen and wants the men to treat her like it. Unlike Blanche, Stanley lives in a rude world, a world where if a person are strong enough physically and mentally, he...

...A Treasurer's Guide to Money Market Funds 2012 The World Behind Fitch’s MMF Ratings by Charlotte Quiniou, CFA, Director in Fitch Ratings Fund and Asset Manager Rating Group Fitch money market fund (MMF) rating is far more than just a stamp on a fund. Its value for investors comes from the depth and breadth of the underpinning rating analysis and process. A key component of a Fitch MMF rating is also the regular, independent surveillance performed by Fitch’s analysts, which supports ongoing dialogue with fund managers, so that systematic mechanical reactions are avoided. To better serve investors, Fitch provides information on rated MMFs and developments in the money market industry, notably based on MMF surveillance information, through freely available periodic publications and online tools. A Disciplined procedures ensure consistency Fitch conducts analysis and assigns ratings on MMFs following a consistent, disciplined process that is applied globally. The diagram in Figure 1 provides a summary view of the major steps followed by Fitch when assigning or reviewing a MMF rating. At the start of the rating process, each MMF is assigned to a group of two analysts: the primary (or lead) analyst, and the secondary (or back-up) analyst. Analysts are responsible for leading the analysis and formulating a rating recommendation. The primary analyst is typically responsible for the continuous surveillance of the rating, once it has been assigned, and maintaining the...
