...out time man has been involved in many wars due to man wanting to protect what is theirs or to gain more power and wealth. No matter how or why a war is started one thing that is clear, war has an ever-lasting effect on everything and everyone. By true nature man is genital but man is also protective and man will fight to protect what is right or what man holds dear. War has taking a toll on land across the world that war has been fought on, and war has also taken an even bigger toll on those who were involved and those who have yet to be involved in war. For century’s war has played a large part in our history and with the most resent war in Iraq this couldn’t be more true. War is something that can bring things together that might not of been on any regular day and yet war has the power to rip it all apart. War has been here since the beginning and war will be here till the end there for lasting forever in our history. War Past and Present When World War 1 began many thought that the soldiers would return home to their families by December 1914 victorious, yet what started out with high expectations ended more than four years later than the original hope. According to Jennifer Rosenberg (n.d), “World War 1 was an extremely bloody war, with huge losses of life and little ground lost or won“ (para 1). Soldier’s that fought in WW1 were fighting their enemies by hiding trenches firing artillery and lobbed grenades, but when ordered the soldiers would have to leave the...

...threating the empire therefore they were persecuted and the mass killings of the Armenian people being. The purpose of this paper is to dive into the times of the Armenian genocides before during and after the April 24th 1915 genocide attacks on the Armenian people. The various sources and references used in this paper will explain the various situations the Armenian people faced and how this has correlated to other world events at the time and how this has affected Armenian people for generations to come. The first part which we will look at is determining if the mass killings of the Armenian people is considered genocide or not as the people of Turkey time and time again failed to recognize that it was genocide. The genocide convention in 1948 defined the word “genocide” as an incident which involves a significant number of dead, as similar to the number of dead during the 1915-1916 era. “On 12 March 2010, the Swedish Riksdag recognized the 1915 Genocide in Ottoman Turkey” (Avedian). As the Swedish have stated that genocide did take place it further explains why the Republic of Turkey has yet to take responsibility of the actions. The article talks about how the government of Turkey doesn’t want to take responsibility because of two reasons 1. ) “by dwelling on the issue of recognition of the events as genocide, it prevents the evolution of the issue in order for one better to understand its dynamics...

...narrow down the cause or rather causes of World War 1 simply to one event. One must admit however that on paper, this reasoning does appear rather sound. On June 28, 1914, a group of conspirators from the revolutionary movement called Mlada Bosna (‘Young Bosnia’) carried out the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian heir namely, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife while they were visiting Sarajevo. By birth, the assassins were Serbs which resulted in Austria’s monarchy to blame Serbia. The event triggered the course of events that directly led to the outbreak of World War 1. But one has to remember, it did not directly cause it. Austria-Hungary just needed an excuse to attack and eliminate the ‘Serbian’ threat which they had wanted to do for quite some time and when the assassination occurred, they finally had one. But to achieve a greater understanding of the reasons and causes of World War 1, one has to acquaint themselves with Europe’s situation in the late 1800s and the early 1900s. During these times, imperialism, militarism and nationalism were seen to be dominant factors that were driving the European nations onwards. Countries, particularly Great Britain and Germany were steadily increasing the size and strength of their armies. It was clearly visible that Europe was engulfed in an arms race. A testament to this fact is the HMS Dreadnought that was produced by the British Royal navy in 1906 which boasted a weight of...

...Destruction of War on Soldiers The novel “All Quiet on the Western Front” by Erich Maria Remarque is one of the best books featuring the atmosphere of World War I, including trench warfare. It illustrates how young men were forced to participate in the battle even when they do not fully comprehend what they are fighting for. The novel does not directly decide who is right or wrong, but only who is left when it is over. It provides a wonderful insight about the tribulations and trials encountered by common soldiers. The author accurately accounts the people who did the fighting and their reactions. The main character of the story is a volunteer soldier named Paul along with his fellow soldiers. They argued about the real purpose of war and they have strong worries on what the war has done to them and what will happen to them after it ends. This paper aims to explore on the novel “All Quiet on the Western Front” by Remarque and its attitude towards WW1. Generally, the book provides a clear picture about the horror of war and what it is really like to be in the battlefield. It elaborates the gruesome war based on the perspectives of German soldiers. Its author presented an amazing imagery about the war including the details such as, how soldiers lost their legs after being amputated along with all the pain they experienced. Furthermore, it also demonstrates how the soldiers missed their families while on the battlefield, and how they yearned for love. Having a cigarette and plenty...

Introduction We believe that to truly understand the whole point of this question, one must first take a step back to try and understand exactly what is a MNC and how do MNC’s impact us. Furthermore, once we understand the whole point regarding the term “MNC” can we understand the full extent and scope of our topic. Now, to understand exactly what is a MNC, A MNC or ’ Multinational Corporation’ in simple terms refers to a large corporation which both produces & sell goods or services to various countries. Though this is a very brief and simple description of this term, it is an accurate one never the less, because as the name suggests it is a corporation which conducts business in different countries at the same time. 1.1 Background According to historical reports and literature the first traits of an MNC like organization can be traced back as early as the trading conducted by the Greek, which was between Phoenicians & Mesopotamian merchants. The cities of Genoa, Venice, Florence and Pica became the supply depots of traders, and with the establishment of banking authorities the whole concept and form of trading grew even further. Now, when we understand the concepts pertaining to MNC’s we must take a...

...has been one of the most crucial yet the most secrete policy of America. Ever Since United States of America won the World War 2, the desire to control and dominate has been constantly increasing among the Americans. The question of whether the United states should act as a policeman for other countries has been long debated over the past couple of decades, On one side there are people who support the quest of Usa being given the role of the world peace maker and on the other majority are those who question; “Who is USA to control or act as a policeman for other countries?” History of wars to dominate other cultures, creeds, races and nations goes back to thousands of years. As over the centuries resources have become limited and the fight and the desire to control the world’s resource has intensified. Relations between countries has defoliated and has brought the world to the levels of mass destruction in the form of World War 1 and World War 2. At the time of both WW 1 and WW 2 there were not many genuine reasons to fight except to control, dominate and show superiority over the others. The first WW1 was won by Germany followed by the dominance of the United States in the WW2. It was at the end of the...

B A Phase A 1918-23: The WR suffers from a few major teething problems, and struggles to survive. C Phase B 1924-28: ‘The Golden Twenties’. Things are on the up for the WR, as it recovers from its earlier problems. But beneath the surface, there are still weaknesses. Phase C 1929-1933: With the Wall St. Crash and the Great Depression, the WR comes ‘crashing’ down! Of course, during each phase, the Nazis were experiencing their own political rollercoaster ride. Broadly speaking, whenever the WR was enjoying success, the Nazis were not, and vice versa. More about that later. What was the Weimar Republic and why was it set up? A lot of students struggle to get to grips with this, but it’s really ...

...This essay is an attempt to examine A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, within the critical theoretical framework of Chris Weedon’s essay, ‘Feminism and the Principles of Post Structuralism’. At the heart of feminist post structuralism lies the theory of post structuralism itself. The theory offers a way to study the conditions of how knowledge is produced. To understand an object it is necessary to study both the object and the systems within which it is produced and lives. Post-feminist structuralism seeks to examine the production of knowledge as it impacts on gender. The pervasiveness of male discourse is a particular target for post-structuralist feminism. What I hope to achieve is an analysis of the theory in relation to the character of Catherine Barkley and her romantic relationship with the novel’s narrator and protagonist Frederick Henry. For poststructuralist theory the common factor in the analysis of social organization, social meanings, power and individual consciousness is language. Language is the place where actual and possible forms of social organization and their likely social and political consequences are defined and contested. Weedon in Storey, ed. (555) However, within Hemingway’s novels language is used to different effect, or rather the omission of it is. Hemingway’s aversion to theory is discussed in Owens-Murphy’s essay on pragmatism. She quotes Scott Donaldson as saying both Hemingway and his characters...

...All of the aspects and elements of his works seem unimportant, because of the different interpretations of his works. Most of his works , depicts his own thoughts and dreams. Like some authors, Kafka focuses on a single character symbolizing himself or his life. To fully recognized and understand this method , the audience must study his background and just basic history to understand his motive. He stands out against all these other authors because he goes against the flow of the writing norms. Some of the genre's found in his works are Kafkaesque, Magic Realism,Dystopia,Fantasy,Science Fiction,Modernism,Post Modernism and Existentialism. First time reading one of Kafka's predominant novel, "The Trial" was pretty overwhelming. Personally, I have nothing to compare his works to, other than his own work, in particular, "The Metamorphosis." While these two have some obvious similarities, there are some hidden and usually inconspicuous ones that readers, like myself, don’t usually pick out. Finding some common themes in “The Trial” and “The Metamorphosis” provides a great factor in interpreting Kafka’s purpose or thesis. In order to fully comprehend Kafka’s work, the audience will first need to knock out the themes hidden in the text. The themes found in his works are , society,social -justice, gender roles. and the intermixing of humor and horror. Kafka’s...

...Entry 1 Week 1 Understanding the definition of ‘Public Relations’ was daunting me from the minute I pressed send on my UCAS application. I had studied Fashion PR at The Fashion Retail Academy so I had a vague idea of what it was all about but began panicking when the thought occurred to me that I might be asked to go for an interview before being offered a place at University. What would I say if someone asked me in an interview what ‘Public Relations’ is? I began my research straight away into finding the perfect definition by purchasing Public Relations for Dummies from Amazon. This gave me a better understanding of what it was all about but it was still very difficult to grasp a short punctual definition of what Public Relations stands for. ‘What is PR?’ was the title for my first lecture which filled me with ease as I then became aware that I probably wasn’t meant to start university knowing exactly what public relations stood for. As the lecture went on it became apparent that actually defining Public Relations is a very difficult task and that there are many definitions, however a main word that comes up again and again when describing public relations is ‘communicating’. Entry 2 Week 2 I have had my first lecture on the module ‘Media and Cultural Landscapes’ finding it challenging and difficult to get my head around but on the other hand extremely interesting. Marxism was a critical theory that we talked about very briefly and as I don’t know a lot about Marxism...

...Nestle Case Study 1. The company of Nestle had undergone both the first order change and second order change. In a first order change, the company underwent some changes in terms of transactional and organizational climate change. On the other hand, Nestle also underwent second order change wherein there are changes in terms of transformational change. This order second-order type of change is more evident. Below are the snippets organizational change that occurred at Nestle according to its order: First Order * Nestle began expanding globally and begun to purchase local subsidiaries in local markets. * Offshore transfer of Executive from Switzerland to United States * Strengthening/Centralization of its IT department Second Order * Diversification of market through entering in cosmetics and pharmaceutical market. * Complete overhaul of executive board with 10 executives replaced * Acquisition and Mergers Discussing more on the second-order change, a transformational change happened when the organization switched from entrepreneurial to become a wider and more professional management kind of structure when they begun to purchase local subsidiaries in foreign market in order for their sales agent (new position) to introduce their product outside of Switzerland. Another transformational change that happen involves the visionary changes that make the organization change in terms of involving in other fields of business through product d1versification...

...While some industries saw expansion and increasing need for workers, others, such as coal mining and factory employment, experienced major economic suffering, and dispute over wages. What long-term consequences did the economic hardships and labour conflicts faced by coal miners and manufacturing workers in the 1920s have on Canadian society and the labour movement as a whole? How did these experiences shape future laws and attitudes toward workers' rights and social welfare? Did it change a lot of people’s perspectives on this job later on? Viewpoint #3- Frederick Banting: a. I am thinking whether the 1920s was a period of progress or decline from the point of view of. Frederick Banting. According to the evidence I have seen, Banting was not a strong student. His grades were weak, and he even failed his first year of university. Regardless of this, he changed many lives when he and a colleague discovered insulin in 1922! As a part of his story, he graduated from medical school during WW1. He also tried to enlist in the war, but was denied two times because he had bad eyesight and didn’t meet that requirement. He did get accepted into the Canadian Army Medical Corps and served 3 years at the front! He made the accomplishment of treating soldiers for 16 hours...

...International political economy (IPE), also known as global political economy, is an academic discipline within the social sciences that analyzes international relations in combination with political economy. As an interdisciplinary field it draws on many distinct academic schools, most notably political science and economics, but also sociology, history, and cultural studies. The academic boundaries of IPE are flexible, and along with acceptable epistemologies are the subject of robust debate. This debate is essentially framed by the discipline's status as a new and interdisciplinary field of study. Despite such disagreements, most scholars can concur that IPE ultimately is concerned with the ways in which political forces (states, institutions, individual actors, etc.) shape the systems through which economic interactions are expressed, and conversely the effect that economic interactions (including the power of collective markets and individuals acting both within and outside them) have upon political structures and outcomes. IPE scholars are at the center of the debate and research surrounding globalization, both in the popular and academic spheres. Other topics that command substantial attention among IPE scholars are international trade (with particular attention to the politics surrounding trade deals, but also significant work examining the results of trade deals), development, the relationship between democracy and markets, international finance, global markets, multi-state...
