...Introduction The Helms-Burton Act has become one of the most controversial and widely discussed international legislation in decades. The resistance from the Cuban government about the features of the Helms-Burton legislation is a clear affirmation of the legitimacy of property claims irrespective of the passage of time. This report will address the issues with the America’s Cuban Conundrum. It will analyze the key issue that prompted the EU to take the Helms-Burton Dispute to the WTO, determine who benefits and who suffers from an embargo of this type of economic barriers. This report would also constitute a resolution to the trade condition between U.S and Cuba, and determine what type of economic barriers would have to be overcome by a U.S. Firm to conduct business successfully in Cuba. The Cuban Democracy Act of 1992 stipulates that U.S. sanctions on Cuba will remain in place until specific moves toward democracy bring about a calibrated adjustment. The Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity (Libertad) Act—or Helms-Burton bill—which Senators Helms, Dole et al. have introduced in the Senate, goes further in strengthening international sanctions, establishes a civil right of judicial action for U.S. citizens having ownership of or interest in expropriated properties—with reference either to fair market value or amounts certified by the U.S. Foreign Claims Settlement Commission. 1. What was the key issue that prompted the EU to take the Helms-Burton dispute to...

...Commanding the Heights: the Battle of Ideas This essay starts with an introduction of the documentary Commanding the Heights: the Battle of Ideas made by PBS, then conducts the analysis on the two competing economic ideas of Keyes vs. Hayek, and finally presents a detailed illustration of their impacts on the America’s economic policies since 1980. Introduction The PBS-made documentary ‘Commanding the Heights’ is to promote better understanding of globalization, economic development and world trade, featured with specific examples of different countries and interviews with related parties. Episode One "The Battle of Ideas," gives an overview of the battle between two major competing ideas about the world economy over the course of last century. On the one hand, the English economist Keynes believes in the ‘planned economy’ and advocates the government intervention to mitigate the risk during economic recession or depression; On the other hand, the Australian economist Hayek favors the free market mechanism and believes in minimum government intervention as market will eventually take care of itself and the prices system is at the heart of what makes a functioning economy work. The episode tracks the root of these ideas and explains how the world moved toward the government controlled economy during the 20th century in a chronological order summarized as below. The Russian Revolution in 1917 marked the beginning of communism economy, in which government is very important...

...Running head: ADULT LEARNING THEORY: ANDRAGOGY1 Adult Learning Theory: Andragogy Jonathan S. Ponce American Public University System Author Note Jonathan Ponce for COLL 100, American Public University System, taught by Instructor Anthony Underhill ADULT LEARNING THEORY: ANDRAGOGY2 Abstract The andragogy theory can best be defined as the art and science of helping adults learn. This paper will explore exactly what the andragogy theory is and how it differs from pedagogy. A few examples of earlier andragogy strategies used in adult education were group discussions, interviews, and joint problem solving sessions. Now a days we see online tools such as discussion forums and blogs being used online to promote learning among adult learners. Simply put, andragogy is an organized and sustained effort to assist adults to learn in a way that enhances their capacity to function as self directed learners. ( Mezirow 1981) But does this method really only apply to adults? Could it be used by the younger learners before they reach adulthood? Is either method greater or more efficient than the other? Though mostly seen as a useful tool in adult education, studies into andragogy have shown that there are flaws within the core principles that conflict with its purpose of being a more...

DRAFT ARTICLE HOW TO KEEP A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE WHEN YOU’RE AN ATHLETE (Special Feature) It’s no wonder when you hear UAAP what immediately comes to mind of most sports enthusiasts is the basketball league in men’s division. It’s a known fact that basketball is still the most popular sports here in the Philippines so its no surprise that among the sports competition in the UAAP, basketball gained a great deal of popularity in the nation a bit comparable I believe to Philippine Basketball Association at its helm during the era of Crispa Redmanizers versus Toyota Tamaraw to Ginebra San Miguel vs Tanduay Rhum Masters rivalries. In this year’s 76 season of UAAP, the basketball competition in men’s division is highly anticipated by sports enthusiasts and loyalists as the university teams’ race to the final four and battle for the final two is on. News and updates about the games are very visible in television, broadsheets and online. In other words, they are being talked about everywhere. To cite a few, there’s the latest brouhaha embroiled in by Coach Perasol of the ADMU Blue Eagles against some hecklers in their recent game, and there’s also the latest article of Ricky Lo in his column in Philippine Star entitled “The 2013...

...lives. Robotic warfare needs to be supported because it helps prevent the loss of human life, it has the ability to rapidly reproduce robotic soldiers, and it can reduce the possibility of human error. Many articles state that robots have the downsides like most everything does but robots can provide upsides that can't be done by any other solution. Robotic warfare is a positive for both sides of the spectrum due to niether side losing any men at all. When a soldier goes out on to a battle field they have a chance to die because of many various dangers and they are unable to identify and counteract all of the dangers they will face. The amount of dangers are too immense for one human to handle and key in on the human aspect. If and when the robotic soldier enter the battlefield soldier will be virtually untouchable and incredibly safe compared to war in this era. This still doesn't keep humans completely out of harm's way from the dangers of the battlefield. The humans have to be within a certain range to operate the drones or robots that are being controlled in the battlefield so they are still be in range of the enemy forces and can be killed if spotted or traced by the enemy. Also when you put robots into combat they don't have the ability to discern an enemy vs an innocent person. The robots could end up killing innocent women and children when they don't need to be killed. Generally people are operating these robots from a secure location on a base or they have a large...

An all-girls preparatory, Dana Hall, was born out of a vision and generosity2. Dana Hall developmental timeline1: * 1881: Opened under the leadership of the Eastman sisters who retired in 1899. * 1899 -1951: The school was bought and was under the directorship of Helen Temple Cooke; she shaped * Dana Hall into a well-known and widely respected academic institution firmly committed to its mission as a girls’ boarding school. * 1955: Cooke died; However she had owned an association of four schools: Tenarce (Coed K-6), Pine Manor Junior College ( 2 year post-secondary), Dana Hall (Boarding School for girls 10-12 and Dana Junior (Boarders 8-9) * 1971: Dana Hall was restructured and now served both the boarders and day students 9-12 Founded on vision and generosity the school did not seek contributions and by the mid-eighties started having financial difficulties and more or less was just managing its operational budget1. Along with the financial challenges the school had both internal and external challenges: there was the issue of leadership retention: three headmistress in four years which resulted in de-stabilization and created rifts among faculty, administration and the board of trustees1.

...Course: Foundation Degree in Business Management Module title: Management Skills Module Number: Title of Assignment: Written Assignment Assignment number: One Tutor: Student No: Date: The author’s objective of this paper is to investigate the difference between a manager and a leader. There are numerous discussions around whether a manager is a leader and are leaders born or made. This paper will discuss various theories relating to managers and leaders and their differences. In order to complete the research there are different ways of interpreting the data. The author will be completing an inductive research assignment with an interpretivism approach. When undertaking and presenting research, it is done with the objective of accumulating knowledge. The author will be using this approach as, although there are a number of management and leadership models and theories a number of conclusions drawn in the journals and books are the thoughts and opinions of the individual authors not necessarily facts. In research there are two methods of reasoning; deductive and inductive. There are also two approaches that can be used positivism and interpretivism the author will briefly summarize these methods. Ehow (2011) sums up inductive and deductive reasoning - ‘Inductive reasoning moves from the specific to the general. Deductive reasoning moves from the general to the specific Deductive reasoning arrives at a conclusion based on generalizations. The basis of the argument...

...and the body. His behavior toward the plebeians contrasts starkly with Martius's--the common people like him, calling him "one that hath always loved the people"; they say of him, "...he's one honest enough! Would all the rest were so!"(I.i.49-52). Although he does not genuinely care for them any more than Martius does (he never actually takes their side in any of the play's political disputes), the people nevertheless favor him because he possesses a gift the play's hero lacks--the gift of public relations. – Compared to Menenius. * The play shows us a city suffering from a power vacuum; wily patricians like Menenius and crafty demagogues like the tribunes now struggle to fill this vacuum, Menenius with his organic conception of the state and the tribunes with their notion of popular rule. Moreover, this political situation can be traced back to Martius; we learn that as a youth he had a hand in King Tarquin's overthrow. One can, thus, see the play's initial situation as an Oedipal moment: The young Martius has overthrown the royal father-figure and is poised to take his place--except that in republican Rome, the kingly Martius cannot take Tarquin's place without becoming himself a tyrant. Act 1.2-5 * We find Coriolanus's wife and mother in a domestic scene, sitting and sewing, and then gossiping with one of their friends who pays a visit. But the domestic setting sharply contrasts with the words and character of...

...had set out – in the face of the many dangers they faced during the failed expedition – Shackleton mustered together the courage, willpower, wit, & leadership and brought each and every member back home alive. b. Shackleton assembled a group of men that were willing to go with him on a hazardous journey. They were paid little, there were long months of complete darkness, and constant danger. Safe return was doubtful. The only thing they would have gotten out of it was honor and recognition. Other people would have thought them desperate or crazy. Yet it’s most likely the allure of being in a Shackleton expedition that made them go anyway. Such was the power that Shackleton wielded over them. c. Ernest Shackleton provides a very good contrast vs. Rob Hall and Steve Fischer – group leaders of the 1996 Mt. Everest tragedy. While all 3 can be said to have both formal and personal power, Shackleton was able to harness his power effectively to rally the crew to survival. His crew had well-defined roles and responsibilities. They were a team with a common overriding goal – that of survival. d. Shackleton put his people first. Yes, he was after fame & fortune but his sense of responsibility for his men was stronger. Shackleton knew that the expedition will be fraught with danger, but he also acknowledged that how the crew would behave could prove to be the most unpredictable element in the situation. His people-centered approach allowed him to know and acknowledged the abilities and personality...
