...Conservatives one nation principles Conservatives after Macmillan haven't supported the growth of trade unions, citing Margaret Thatcher and the crushing of the Skargill strikes in 1984 is the best example that the modern Conservative party has not supported this aspect of one nation. They didn’t support it because strikes are genuinely unpopular, even if one supports the message behind the strike you are still not going to like the inconvenience it causes furthermore the Conservatives are funded by individuals and business and not by unions so it would be politically damaging to support increased union power. it could be argued that Thatcher didn't support Mixed Economy at all, as a neo-liberal she advocated the power of the free market and advocated privatisation something that continued with her successor, John Major e.g. Nationalisation of British Rail in 1994. However the current banking crisis and the admission of the Tories that nationalising banks was the right thing to do may indicate a certain support for a mixed economy at times. After WW2, an empire was simply not feasible, however the Conservatives have supported the maintenance of a certain number of colonies hence the reason we went to war over the Falklands in 1982. Reason? National outcry at Argentinian aggression, traditional sentiment over the empire days. I would argue that apart from Macmillan's drive to reluctantly support High Public Spending, his successors have all been against this, advocating...

...One Nation Under God The United States of America is a country founded on religious principles and freedoms. Protestants escaping religious persecution in England came to the new world and planted the seeds of what would grow into a world superpower. The Native Americans, whose ancestors had been the first men to live there, became nothing but second class citizens. They were forced into slavery whilst dying by the thousands from disease brought by the white man. The pilgrims’ quest for religious freedom had brought ruin to an entire culture. Though it was the greatest, this genocide was not the last injustice done by religious organization in the new world. The framers of the United States constitution granted the right to freedom of religion among others. But all rights are limited; they cannot be exercised if they infringe upon another’s rights. Furthermore, despite claims of separation of church and state Christianity continues to take precedent over the rights and liberties of many citizens. Today one of the chief injustices regarding religion in America is tax exemptions for religious organizations. Proponents of tax exemption for religious organizations claim that there is no breach of separation of church and state. This claim is made on the grounds that by not taxing religious organizations they are not affiliating with them; therefore separation of church and state is attained. This logic is flawed to an unbelievable extent. The government electing not to tax religious...

...Question: do you think of Canada just as your country, the place where you live, or do you think of Canada as a nation- people who share your values and beliefs? Is being Canadian part of your identity? Write a written response of 1 page double space. The concept of nationhood is a complex one. What makes a country a nation? What is a nation? In this essay, i will attempt to gain an understanding of what a nation is, and why Canada is in fact a nation, not merely because we meet certain criteria, but because we, as Canadians, believe it is so. To define the term “nation” is quite a challenging task. The Student’s Oxford Canadian Dictionary defines a nation as, “a community of people forming a state or inhabiting a territory”. Compared to other resources, this is fairly a simple one. The same dictionary defines a state as “an organized political community under one government” By these definitions, Canada clearly classifies as a nation. Canada is without a doubt, a nation because the country has satisfied the dictionary’s requirement. Still, not all definitions are so clear. One of the most commonly accepted definitions of a nation is one that is ripe with complex and challenging requirements. These definitions often involve a group of people who share a common culture, ethnic origin and language, and they must either possess or be actively seeking an independent government. Even at a quick glance, we can see that Canada does not meet all of these...

...Dr. Martin Luther King’s Funeral and Assassination Word spread like wildfire when the news of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination hit the public. As the leading civil rights activist in the 1960s, Martin Luther King Jr. preached words of peace and understanding among races. A well known name throughout the North and South, King gained extreme popularity within the African American community. When Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated a wave of sorrow spread across the nation. With rage, sadness, and hopelessness in the public eye, clearly the assassination hurt more than just one man, it hurt a nation. A single shot killed 39-year-old Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, 1968. At the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee, a sniper from about “50-100 yards away,” shot and struck Dr. King’s neck, while instantaneously killing him (“Martin Luther King Slain” 139). From the crime scene, F.B.I. investigators traced a “white Mustang automobile,” and an “‘unusually large’ amount of physical evidence” (Waldron 1). With fingerprints, the actual rifle, and eyewitnesses as definite pieces of evidence, F.B.I. agents concluded that a Caucasian man executed the assassination and that he would be very easily caught (Waldron 1). Eyewitness testimony even stated that the “saw a white man [ran] from the house immediately after the shooting” (“Martin Luther King Slain” 140). As a shocking and horrific event, the assassination of Dr. King proved to test the nation’s character. Shortly...

II. Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, outside territorial waters, alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action for the enforcement of international covenants. The purpose of this point is to explain that during the time of peace or war, International seas shall be free to sail across. This point also explains the rights of independent shipping and private possessions on the seas during a war between different nations will be granted especially when the war does not affect other nations. Therefore, it is a war in which the association of Nations remains unbiased. Clearly, the...

...Illustrate your answer in the context of Macau, China or any one country that you are familiar with. Brief Introduction The word nationalism was created in the late 18 centuries, but it only got popular from the 1830s. It used to convey the idea of identification with a nation in which a group of people shares common ancestry in the early time, but later it began to link with patriotism and with aspirations to statehood. This concept became widely accepted by more and more people during twentieth century. Nationalism now is defined as a subjective feeling of a membership in a nation; a belief that a nation should form the state, or a belief that the identification with the nation should be above all other forms of identity. Nowadays Nationalism has set off a wave around the world. Primordialism and constructivism can be used to explain this phenomenon. We will see the key arguments of both theories. The first one is primordialism. Key arguments of two theories The emergence of the theory of primordialism was in the second half of the eighteenth centuries, in general, primordialism assumes political identity are innate and largely unchanged. It comes with when you are born or in nature way. Since the identity is with you by born, so it’s extremely difficult to choose or change it. Primordialism is an argument, which contended that political identity is ancient, natural phenomena. It emphasis that identify of nation is decided by nature. Identify is extremely difficult to...

...Anglophone Socio-cultural Environment “Nations have always existed” Mihaela Vasileva Savova Matriculation № 025067 17.05.2004 In my opinion this statement-“Nations have always existed”-is not true. There are several stages of the human evolution until the word “nation” appears as a term. In fact these stages are three - ethnos, nationality and nation. “Nation” is the last level of social development. My thesis is based on historical evidences and views of famous historians. The conclusion I made, after getting acquainted with some sources, is that nations have developed during the XVth or XVIth century, more precisely after the Great French Bourgeois Revolution in 1789. The nation is not the first step in human development. According to Professor Lachesar Dachev’s textbook “Studies for the state”: “The humans form many and different unions. The most general and basic is the “ethnos”. … The ethnos is the first and the original characteristic of every man. There is no man without an ethnos.” Another definition of ethnos is made by J.V.Bromlay and V.I.Kozlov: “The ethnos is strange historically formed kind of social group of people, united form of their existence. It is set up and develops in natural-historical way; it does not depend on the resolution of the individuals in it and is capable of existence in many centuries thanks to its reproduction.” The first kind of ethnical union is the tribe. Tribes are formed on the base of blood relationship which is...

...trafficked for pressured prostitution. Although due to the surreptitious personality of this criminal activity, any available figure or data does not signify the real condition of the things. The visitors in reasons other than prostitution, such as pressured weddings and pressured labor etc, does not entice enough attention of the law organs; therefore the potential of the sufferers to get help is restricted. The state policies and the rules of many nations have the propensity to decrease the chance of getting some complicated actions on the matter of the issue of visitors with purpose of pressured prostitution. Although, in the last several years, within the structure of worldwide controversy and especially in the material of UN records, has showed up a confidence that the reasons for which the individuals are trafficked and the methods in which it is done are different and completely modifying, the platform components of this kind of visitors stay the same. Thus, a common conform which regards the meaning of visitors, such as both the one with females and with men with whatever aggressive and required objective, was reached. The first worldwide meaning of the individual beings’ visitors was elaborated within the UN Conference against trans-national...

...the people, companies and governments of different nations. This process is driven by trade and investment and aided by information and technology. Globalization will affect and impact any business and how it is run. The argument is whether or not globalization is good or bad for business. I believe that globalization is good for any business as it relates to market globalization. Market globalization makes it easier for companies to sell products internationally. This is good for business because it allows for expansion in multiple areas of the business and established proven growth in the company. (1, Premise)Globalization effects on an economy, administrative, and geographical system of the nations in an effective manner. In today’s more challenging and competitive business world, globalization is one of the most important factors that have a direct or indirect effect on the economic, administrative, and geographical system of the nations in an effective and proper manner. There are rapid changes in the economics of the nations, due to globalization. Also, different kinds of issues are developed or created by the globalization to the countries. Also, these are affecting the nations directly or indirectly. For example, High-risk investment in other countries is considered a significant issue. (1, Conclusion) After the globalization of the worldwide market, foreign investors faced the high risk to invest in the other nation due to the differences in administrative, geographic...

...and that they shall involve and permit henceforth no secret understandings of any kind. The day of conquest and aggrandizement is gone by; so is also the day of secret covenants entered into in the interest of particular governments and likely at some unlooked-for moment to upset the peace of the world. It is this happy fact, now clear to the view of every public man whose thoughts do not still linger in an age that is dead and gone, which makes it possible for every nation whose purposes are consistent with justice and the peace of the world to avow nor or at any other time the objects it has in view. We entered this war because violations of right had occurred which touched us to the quick and made the life of our own people impossible unless they were corrected and the world secure once for all against their recurrence. What we demand in this war, therefore, is nothing peculiar to ourselves. It is that the world be made fit and safe to live in; and particularly that it be made safe for every peace-loving nation which, like our own, wishes to live its own life, determine its own institutions, be assured of justice and fair dealing by the other peoples of the world as against force and selfish aggression. All the peoples of the world are in effect partners in this interest, and for our own part we see very clearly that unless justice be done to others it will not be done to us. The programme of the world's peace, therefore, is our programme; and that programme, the only possible...

...identities,while others contend that the optimum solution is to get spur trade. This essay will examine both sides of arguments and try to reach a conclusion. On the one hand, if the nations over the world accelerate a better relationship, this step will have far-reaching influences on poverty eradication and hunger alleviation. For example, the countries can carry out cultural exchanges, namely art exhibition or football friendlies matches. In terms of education, the rich nation should enable for young generation in the poor country, such as my homeland – Viet Nam, access to an advanced education and the new technologies in developed country. As a result, this help cultivate links among nations and strengthen mutual understanding and mutual interests. Futhermore, this will provide more job creation in not only the developing coutries but also the developed nations. On the other hand, international trade occupies a crucial role in cause of poverty reduction in the whole world only by reinforce international relationship and creat an equal position in bilateral trade and multilateral trade then trade can break up all barriers by enhance commercial works, different countries in the world can learn to build up mutual trust and win-win option, which causes abundant job. A typical instance for this is the rich nation can import agriculture products from Southest Asia such...

...A Nation is a culture group living within a territory of a political state. A group of people are a nation if: They are a permanent resident of a defined territory, they have some form of government. They have a common culture, and they declare to be and are considered by others to be Sovereign (Perry, J. A., & Perry, E. K. (2009). For instance North American Native Indian peoples which consist of many diverse nations. The Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma is one example of this. Even though the Cherokee nation and other Native American nations live within the U.S. most have retained their own cultures apart from America and live in land areas or reservations within U.S. states. The definition of State is the abstract embodiment, or the symbol, of the political institution. The State is the formal representation of government. One example of State is Scotland. Scotland is a country and is part of the United Kingdom. A Nation-State is a state ruling over a territory containing all the people of a nation and no others. A nation-state has fixed territory, sovereignty, and common cultures. If it doesn’t have all three then it’s not a nation-state. One example of a nation-state is Iceland. Most of the inhabitants are related or are of Scandinavian decent. They have their own national culture and language that is only found in Iceland. Iceland has no cross border minorities this is because it’s not close to any other land, thus giving it fixed boarders. (Perry, J. A., &...

...Obama Inaugural Address 20th January 2009 My fellow citizens: I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition. Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents. So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans. That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics...

...The European Parliament aims to cultivate a ‘European identity’ in order to ensure a lasting union between the members of state. However, countries have very much invested in refining their own, personal identities by constructing a diverse amount of traditions and cultures unique to that nation itself and one must first question whether a true definition of ‘European identity’ is even able to exist alongside the presence of a variety of ‘national identities’. Is it possible for each member of state to be classed under a singular identity whilst retaining a unique identity? Simply answered, the response must be ‘no’. Some, perhaps, believe that a sole identity could be a compilation of the nations’ accounts and cultures that eventually create the form of the ‘European identity’. This would allow the existence of separate identities as well as a classification for the ‘European identity’. As the idea of identity is a complex subject that often depends on the opinion of the debater, this is a perfectly logical reasoning. However Klaus Welle, the secretary general for the European Parliament, stated that “If we want to build a lasting union of solidarity we also need to invest in European identity. We need to understand history as European history and not just as compilation of national histories”. This indicates that the EU believes we must form an entirely new identity that is not perceived as individual pasts but as a sole being. The national identities have created obstacles...
